declares;
The executive power was brought to bear
TO delay the passage of that resolution and
did delay its passage until some forty repub-
ican congressman, headed by Mr. Hopkins
of Illinois rose In rebellion against tho presi-
dent. And, though those congressman lacked
heart to persist IN their protest against OK
ocutve dctatlon TO the Legislature, the very
fact that they protested at all is the most
crcdItable action likely to he attributed TO
them during their legislative careers. II was
an assertion OF the rights of the legislature
as against the cncroachments OF the eSecu-
tive, and such assertion Is more ana more
and more impressed with his imperial mis-
sion.

Il. A. Testor as the corporal, Messrs, r.
K Logan and Frederick Steinmann as the
mueketeers and Misses Lenore Soulier and
HIlda Hollns as the flower girls.
The welcome accorded Mr.. De Angels
was an unusually hearty one and practi-
cally everything he did was encored.
During the single intermssion continued
applause finally had the effect of causing
him to appear before the curtain, from
which point he delivered little speech
which made him even more popular tam
before. All OF the solos were repeated,
several times on some occasions, and IL
there was anyone in the audience who was
not thoroughly pleased with the worn
OF Mr.. De Angels and his clever people,
the fact was certainly not indicated ty zoe
amount of applause. Everyone worked
hard, Mr.. De Angels the hardest OF all,
and the reward came in the shape OF ap-
plause so warm and hearty that IL mas:
have been extremely gratifying to the
people behind the footlights.
The next attraction will be "A Jay From
Jaysville." which will be seen on Thurs
day, matinee and night.
