T. is n question whether the Opera
l:oaso will present this season an attrac-
ton that Il bot'er known to the public
than WIZ u Gllletto's great play. Secret
Service" 3 American product has
achieved the greatest measure Of success,
in all sections Of tho country, and In Lon
don that has been accorded to any play In
recent years. The ell-nigh perfect COM
pany (the original one) will be seen at
the Operu House on January 2Sth.
Success. immediate and emphatic, has
crowned John Sousas new comic opera,
''Tho Bride Elect" which comes to the
Opera House on February End. Itis q
success pronounced and well merited.
The music of the opera combines II num-
ber Of the best March rhythms that the
genius Of Sousa has evolved. The orcho.-
ira Is vigorous and grand and the
chorus singing tho flnest ever heard in the
limo Of comic opera. The company select
cd by Mcssrs. Klew and Erlaneer fulfill
every requirement both as to singing and
acting.

A Lost KiuR.

In olden times, when European kings
were Us plentiful % Kentucky colonies
are to-day, 1t was not an exceptional
occurrence for king to disappear and
never be heard Of again. In recent
times, however. the people have been
more careful of their kings. 30 when
King Sebastian Of Portugal disap.
pcared In battle July 90. 1873, while
lighting the Moons ut Alcazar, there
was great comm0tlOn. The MO0rs sur.
rendered to the Portuguese a body said
to be that Of the King, but It was ru-
mored that the Moors had the live King
In custody. The surrendered body was
buried with royal hOn0rs at Belem, but
the faithful Portuguese persisted In
waiting for the return of their King.
Long after he would have died In the
course Of nature his countrymen long.
ingly awaited his coming. Even up
to this day the legend OF the return OF
King Sebastian Is believed by many,
and on stormy nights credulOus POrtu-
guese citizen will wrap their cloaks
about them and 90 outside and watch
the storm, thinking that the King may
appear In cloud Of fire and again rule
over his people.
