The jefferson DE Angels Opera COM
pany is the underlined attraction at the
Broadway theater in this city. The
opera Is The Jolly Musketeer," the
book of which is by Stanislaus STANCE
and the music by Julian Edwards, the
author and composer respectively or
several meritorious operate works. The
piece has been tried on the road and i'm
one or two large cities with great sue

whether De Angels will be able to re-
deem himself and blossom out, as IL
certainly seems he deserves to do, into
a full fedged and prosperous comic
opera star.

THE STAGE.

Dreyfus has been put on the stage
not Of course in France where such a
thing would be strictly forbidden by
the government, but in Brussels. The
Theatre Lyrique Of that city was pack
ed at the first performance, and the
representatives of Dreyfus, Picquart,
Zola and Forzinette received tremen-
dous applause. while those of Patty du
Clam. Boisdeffre. Mercier and the other
general staff officers were roundly h ss-
ed. There was no protest heard against
this verdict of the public. The French
ambassador had sought to have the
Belgian government forbid the produce
tion OF the play, but his request was re-
fused.
An amusing anecdote is related Of
Frank Gardiner, the comedian. While
on a tour of the south a few years ago.
he had taken lodging in a house on the
outskirts OF the town. Soon after re-
firing he was awakened by fiuttering
noise. as of a bird. around the curtains
OF his bed He sprang up, struck
light and saw a small. dark creature
with wings laundering about the room.
Not being we'll versed i'm natural his
tory. he did not recognize IL as a bat,
but thinking IL queer kind of bird
he resolved to catch it. If possible. and
examine IL by daylight. So he took his
felt hat and attempted. for a long time
i'm vain to capture the intruder, but at
length he secured il. He then carefully
deposited Ii in the upper drawer OF the
bureau, and after listening to it's strug-
giles for a moment returned To bed and
sleep.
Again he was awakened by a similar
creature, and again, after long chase,
the intruder was captured and deposit
ed i'm the drawer Sixteen times by ac-
tual count was Mr.. Gardeners rest
broken. and each time the capture was
put in the drawer. Being heated with
the exertion. he opened the window to
admit the fresh air. and from that time
was allowed to repose in peace.
When he awoke. he jumped out of bed
and opened the drawer very cautiously
to look for the prizes of the night The
drawer was empty He opened 1T wide
and discovered that IL had no back TO it,
He had spent the night in successive
chases of the same bat, which had flown
out at the back Of the drawer as soon
as he had put IL in the front, and when
the window was opened had finally es-
capped.

1t may be explained that at present the

against a member. whether he is q or IL
years of age is the same. Assessments to

the adoption OF the plan of some OF the
regularly organized Insurance companies,
who rate an applicant according to his

The main point OF Issue among the men,
bers when the proposed change In the
working of the order was brought before
them was whether by adopting the new
rule they would not be changing the en-
tire character of the organization and the
scope of its work. Some OF the opponents
OF the classified system asserted that the
order was one for protection and for So
ciai purposes; that ii was in no sense an
insurance company, and that this feature
of the work was a subordinate one. They
asserted that IL members wished to pur-
chase life Insurance. OF the regulation kind
they should go to insurance companies
for that purpose. 1t was argued against
the proposed change that the social fea-
ture OF the order would In a measure be
abrogated and eliminated IL the change
was effected.
