If Matthew Stanley Quay depended
solely upon the support of the repub-
lican party for his success, the accuse
tions MAIDS against him in Phjladelpbia
by Congressman Dalzeli would seem
very much more serious than they now
do. 1t is no small matter to be charged
with responsibility for the defeat Of
Blaine in 1876, hostility to President
Harrison and aggressive and persist
ent opposition to President Mckinley
Quay is a good deal of political
bully, and his only use for the repub.
lican party is to promote his own per-
sonal fortunes. Mr.. Dalzell has used
strong language, but he probably told
some solid truths at the same time.
Robert p. Porter rather more than
confirms the favorable reports sent out
from Cuba regarding his interview with
Gen. Gomez. He declares that the old
chieftain is of the most friendly and
tractable disposition, fully in accord
with our government in the matter of
military occupation, pending the com
plete pacifcation Of the island and
ready to aid us in every way. This is
rather more than was expected, but
Mr.. Porter should know what he is
talking about. 1t is to be remarked
in passing, however that the Cuban
assembly is inclined TO cal Gomez ia
account for accepting that $4,000. 900
offer, but the chances are that this will
result in nothing more harmful than a
few growls.

Frank Daniels, last Saturday night I'm
Cleveland, finished the first fortnights trial
of his new comic opera, The Ameer." 1t
IS a Dig venture nowadays to produce
new comic op sra on scale commensurate
with the demands of first-class clientele
The fact that The Amer is described a
a production much more pretentious' than
anything else in the Daniels repertoire
shows the confidence of his manager. kirke
La Shelle. in the drawing power of the
comedian and in the excellence of this new
vehicle chosen for the display of Daniels
talents. Victor Herbert, who composed the
music of The Ameer," is credited with
having thereby greatly added to his al
ready excellent reputation. The score is
said to TEEN with light and pleasing mel
odies, and to be written on a. plane well
calculated to suit the popular taste and
yet at the same time, to win the approval
of the unsteady critical. Daniels has sew
eral topical songs, and taking numbers
have been assigned to Helen Redmond
Norma Kopp, Kate TART, VIII Danforth
and George DeVou.
There will be no draughts of cool air from
the main doorway and west lobby of the
New Grand to disturb the patrons of that
theater after this week. Despite the fact
that the auditorium is so far removed from
the street stray northwest puffs of biting
air have traVerSed the long entrance and
blown into the theater whenever the doors
have been opened. Therefore, seats within
range of the main entrance have not al
ways been as wholly comfortable as the
managers would have them. To obvate
this. the management has provided
great portiere, which will be hung in a few
days outside the main door just back of
the brass rail, at which the doorkeeper
stands. If necessary, a glass screen Will
be placed at the back of the seats inside
the house, so as to shut off all wandering
winds from the west. In this way the
New Grand will be made proof against all
wintry discomfort.

The basket trick, the afr-climbing trick
and the mangoe trick are perhaps the most
wonderful of them all, and have never been
explained by any one. l have succeeded in
doing the mangoe trick, or its counterpart
producing a tree fun of oranges instead of
manages, but whether they resort to the
same methods do or not certainly do not
pretend to say. Those fellows sit down in
the street, dig a little hole in the earth,
and put in mangoe seed. They cover this
with handkerchief. and in a moment I'M
cover it, dig up the seed and show the
spectators that it has actually commenced
to sprout. They replace ii and cover it up
again. Again it is uncovered and a little
tree a few inches high is seen growing a
larger cloth is then used and the tree con-
tinues to grow, until, within few minutes
1t attains height of two or three feet is
uncovered and shown to be ripened fruit.
The tree is pulled up and the same seed
that was seen sprouting is still attached to
it, The basket trick is another wonderful
thing. A boy is placed in a hamper and
t1eu IN. "A long sword Is thrust through and
through the basket and the cries of the lad
are heartrending. Blood trickles from the
meshes of the hamper and the dying
groans of the boy are heard. The fakfr
points to palm tree quarter of a mile
away and the boy is seen clambering down
from it's top, and then runs back to the
spot where he was first seen. The basket
is opened and found to be empty Tourists
have tried the effect of a camera on this
trick, but without result. 1t is a Hindoo
mystery, and to do it as they do it requires
a master Hindoo mind and hand"
