Of the Institution

The executive committee of the Anti
Civil Service Republican State League
held largely attended meeting at the
secretary's office in the Parrot building

send circulars throughout the State in
relation to civil service and to invite the
candidates to declare their opinions of
the same. 1t was decided to hold the
nominating convention the last week in
September. resolution was passed re-
GREETING that the Republican convention
did not insert an anti-civil service clause
in it's. platform. Short speeches were
made by Messrs. Mueller, Moore, Ramsey
and other members of the league, pre-
dieting the success of the principles of the
anti-civil service movement. Several vet
Grams of the Civil War and members of
the league complained that they, had been
removed without cause under the Demo-
cratic administration on account of being
Republicans, but because of the magnani-
nous ruling of President Mckinley they
could not be reinstated, and they bitterly
as being a political humbug, fraud,
delusion and entirely un-American. The
meetings of the league committees will
be held weekly hereafter.

The TivOli.

verdi's immortal "Rigoletto" opened
the sixth week of the grand opera sea-
son at the Tivoli last night before large
and enthusiastic audience.
Sig. Maurice de Vries in the title role
was certainly the drawing card. Mr.. de
Vries' Rigoletto has a worldwide repu-
tation, and he is considered one of the
best living translatorS of this difficult
part. His voice and artistic abilities are
admirably suited to give a character
study of this kind and he must have felt
proud when he perceived how much MS
art was appreciated by the audience.
Miss LIGHTER was charming, as usual,
and she was received very cordially. Mag
dalena was sung by Miss Mary Linck
with great fervor, and her conception OF
this part was extremely pleasing. Her
contralto has a very pathetic ring, ana
she can rise in some scenes to absolute
greatness.
Miss Merrill sang the small part OF Gil
ovanna with good success. She is ma
tive of this city, and it seems that she
will have a bright future before her as
an opera singer.
Sig. Wanrells Sparafucile was sung
very creditably, and received due appre,
citation. 1t is regrettable, however, that
even the polyglotS cannot understand
him In his articulation of the Italian LAM
guage. Mr.. Rhys Thomas, as the Duke
of Mantua sang with his usual effort
to please and succeeded very well. 1t was
his best performance in grand opera thus
far.

en-. with Miss Marie Brands in the title
role, and Mr.. William Pruette as the

spelling Of the long name, but there
they began to fall by the wayside;
they dropped to the ground, exhausted,
one by one, so fast that by the time
they reached the last "Rah!" only one
man survived, and that was the long
winded Punk, and even he gasped it
out like sick rooster. After this
they all sat still on the ground where
they had fallen, and thought hard for
some time, and debated in whispers.
The result of this debate was the final
selection of brisk yell that left some
breath in the body of the yellers,
though it threatened to break all the
windows for miles around. The word
"Lakerim" was given three times, with
the long a and short j, and the yell
went out in burst of glory, all the
voices keeping together until halfway
through the last long Hoo" when the
boys divided and took different VOW

GERMANY'S STABILITY.
VIII the Stupendus Work of Bismarck
Be an Enduring One?


BE an Enduring One?
Though Bismarck has been worsted
in his contest with religious and So
clal ideas, his great achievement re-
mains, says William Roscoe Thayer in
the September Atlantic. He had placed
Germany at the head of Europe, and
Prussia at the head of Germany. Will
the German empire created by him
last? Who can say? The historian
has no business with prophecy. But
he may point out the existence in the
German empire today of conditions
that have hitherto menaced the safety
OF nations. The common danger seems
the strongest bond of union among
the German states. Defeat by Russia
on the east or by France on the west
would mean disaster for South Ger
mans not less than for the Prussians,
and this peril is formidable enough to
cause the Bavarians, for instance, to
fight side by side with the Prussians.
But there can be no homogeneous in
ternal government, no compact nation,
so long as 20 or more dynasties, each
co-equal in dignity though not in pow
er, flourish simultaneously. Historic
ally speaking, Germany has never
passed through that stage of develop
ment in which one dynasty swallows
up it's rivals, as was the experience Of
England, France, and Spain, and even
of polyglot Austria. Again, Germany
embraces three unwilling members
Alsace- Lorraine, schleswig, and Prus-
sian Poland, any of which may serve
as provocation for war, and must re-
main constant source of radical anti
pathy. How grievous such political
thorns may be, though small in bulk
compared to the body tfey worry,
England has never learned from Ire
land.

Missouri. It was humpbacked and
skinny. Its loose hide was Scared
and worn bare in patches. It's ears
were ragged and it's eyes were red. Its
hoofs were abnormally developed. The
rope by which it was tied was short
enough to keep it out of the highway
beyond that was evidently danger.
An old farmer sat on the fence, in the
shade of an apple tree across the road.
What's that flag for?" asked the man
who was driving. "That flag means
keep away from the mule" answered
the old man. Then why in thunder,
don't you tie him up in your barn or
in field?" asked the driver. "That
mule" replied the farmer, is better
than a constable or a bulldog. See that
patch of muskmelons? The boys round
here use to skin that patch most reg
ular, an I couldn't keep 'em out.
They'd win every dog set to watchin'
EN-, but they can't win the mule. I
lost so much sleep watchin' the patch
that I got nervous prostration. Then
I thought Of ole Bill there, and we put
him out. It took six neighbors to do
it. He didn't want the job. I don't
know how we're ever goin' to get him
back again-shoot the rope in two, I
guess. But every one about here
knows Bill, an you bet them melons is
safe while he's there. You see, his
rope is just long enough to cover the
patch. Wellso long"

Force of Habit.

Lord Kelvin, the celebrated English
scientist, has just celebrated his sew
enty-fourth birthday. He was born in
Belfast, Ireland. For over fifty years
he has held the chair of natural philo-
sophy at Glasgow university and this
was rightly considered so remarkable
that in 1896 the jubilee, was enthusi-
astically celebrated. A good story is
related by the Detroit Free Press of his
lecturing methods at the university.
AS a professor of science he can use
long words in such formidable array
as would make dictionary break it's
binding with horror. During a course
OF lectures once on magnetism, for
instance, he defined an ideal magnet as
an infinitely long, infinitely thin, uni
form, and uniformly and longitudinally
magnetized bar" and the misguided
students vociferously cheered, which
caused the professor to say, "Silence!"-
This definition was made and cheered,
with the usual reprimand, frequently
during the lectures. Once, near the
conclusion, however, the students did
not cheer, but lord Kelvin, from force
of habit, raped out "Silence" the
same as before.
