BY THE SAD SEA WAVES.
With Mathews and BuIger as the
Stars.

The management of Myar opera
house will present on November the
twenty first an attraction which in
best engagements, in the favorite CO.
mediaus Matthews and Bulger, who
have aptly been styled the million
aires of farce" and whose hold upon
our theatre goers has never been ques-
toned.
With this visit they will present
their latest version of the musical and
farcical composition entitled by the
Sad Sea Waves" vaudeville oper-
alta. The better part of the summer
has been busily employed in fitting
this effort for the road and with the
firm belief that they have the best
play they have ever appeared in. The
piece has been entirely rewritten, but
it Is claimed it jumped into popular
favor with the first production and is
now assured of being one of the sea-
son g most popular successes.
AS mirth provoking performance
"By the Sad Sea Wave" is said to be
one of the most pretentious perform
ances of musical force, calling for the
load of new scenery and adjuncts and
feminine chorus of rare voices. The
play gives an insight of swelldom in q
ssnitsrium where society
goes to recuperate after q season of
gayety. Matthews and Bulger. as
"Palmer Coin" and "Boston Bulge"
are said to possess
characters which 1T them like glove
and give them the grandest Copportun-
tiles they have had thus far in their
tn eatrical careers.

THE CITYTHRONGED
With Visitors Who Took In
All the Sights of the Day
A GOOD SHOW GIVEN
The Program Full of Good Features
The Rough Riders Cover Them
selves With Glory.

All of yesterday the streets were
crowded with visitors intent on seeing
the circus, and incidentally Ito see the
elephant" From the best accounts
obtainable most of them saw the ele-
plant and q great deal more besides.
at O'Clock, when the large doors OF
the tents were thrown open, q surgtng
mass of people were waiting to get in
side. Fully 10000 people attended the
two performances. The children, &C
companied by their parents or nurses,
attended the afternoon performance,
and the older folks took in the show
by the glare of the lights.
1t was good performance through
out. There was not a really poor
feature on the entire programme and
every act was neatly executed. The
Rough Riders in their daring horse
manship and clever bareback riding
took the people by storm. Time and
time again they raced around the ring,
standing on the backs Of their horses
to the admiration of the great crowd
present.
Professor Barrett's act with the py-
ramid of horses was very cleverly don e
and was thought by many to be the
best feature of the whole performance.
The clown band. led by an imper-
son ator of Professor Souss, brought
forth roars of laughter. and the from
bone solo by one of the members was
vociferously applauded.
The act on the high trapeze was q
good one and appreciated by the
crowd.
A great many people remained to
see the concert, AMI the eide show with
it's freaks and curiosities had q large
crowd all day.
SILK VELVET CLUB.
Newspaper men who attended the
circus were initiated as members of
the Silk .Velvet,club, by Col. ]. D.
Harrison, the genial press agent of
the show.
There were three degrees which
they were required to take and the
exercises were conducted
in the dark room of the side show,

It is only fair to all parties concern

Mr.. Mundy. ''for 1 was fighting

Mr.. Thorne's cemetery before L

hole which has caused 80 much discus

They Pass Resolutions in
Regard to the Hole
Near Evergreen
Mr.. MUNOY CLAIMS
That He Had no Intention of Ad
Vertising Another Cemetery But
Wanted to Show That Water
Existed Close to the Surface
Near the Grave Yard.

i A hole dug near the railway track
| beside the path leading to Evergreen
cemetery along which the Woodmen of
| the World aud their guests passed last
| Sunday to participate in the unwilling
of the Malone monument, has served
| to revive the old cemetery war and to
add another chapter. to the story told
| by the sensational law suit fled in the
district court many months ago.
A large number of people from this
city and neighbor1ng towns went out
to Evergreen last Sunday. near the
spot where they slighted from the train
they found hole dug in imitation o f
an open grave. In the bottom of the
hole was water and close at hand was
a Mexican leaning on a spade and
resting from his labors.
The wood men wanted to know why
the hole had been dug and were told
that j J. Mundy had ordered the ex-
cavstion that the widow of the deceas-
ed woodman and all other interested
parties might realize that their loved
ones Inferred in Evergreen cemetery
were buried in water.
The woodmen were very indignant.
In sizing up the situation DR.. Her.
bert Stevenson said:
''Woodmen neither know nor care
about the fight between the two Gem
eteries, but it Is not right to outrage
the feelings of the pu bile on such sad
and solemn occasion for the purpose of
advertising q cemetery"
RESOLUTIONS BY WOODMEN.
The indignation of the Woodmen
found vent In q meeting Tuesday night
at which the following proceedings
were had:
At meeting of Tornillo Camp No
AZ, Woodmen of the World, last Tues
day evening, the following resolution
WAS read and unanimously adopted,
without a dissenting Voice, and or
dered published in the daily papers of
Ell Paso:
Whereas, last Sunday, a short time
before the arrival of the train bearing
the Woodmen and their guests to par
ticipate in the unwilling of the Malone
monument at Evergreen cemetery, j..
Muudy had Mexicans to dig hole in
the ditch between the railway and the
entrance to the cemetery, in the direct

was put there. They were told that
it was the work of J. J. Mundy, who
owns an Interest in another cemetery,
who was attempting to convey the idea
that all the graves in Evergreen ceme-
terry are filed with water, when in fact
the water in that hole was IL feet be-
low the surface OF Evergreen, and even
that confined by q box.
Why he should select such a solemn
occasion to publicly insult every order
in attendance, the widow and chill
dren of deceased, and every person
who has any relative or friend buried
in Evergreen cemetery, and the wood
men, particularly, is beyond COM
prehension.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
