promise from the manager of the COM
pany to place date here if he can Sec
ure an advance subscription sale of not
less than 400 tickets at S1.O0 each. Mr..
Heatherly believes this can be done,
especially as many inquiries have been
made for an opera company OF the first
class during the season.
In case he succeeds, the beautiful
martha" or some other we'll known
and popular opera will be selected
from the extensive repertoire of the
company for this engagement.
All who feel interested
in this matter and who wish to help
secure the company and also the
best seats for themselves, will please
leave their names at kline's
for the number of tickets desired, and
it Is promised that If the required num-
Der of signers is secured, the reserve
seat sale will be opened one full day for
the subscribers before the regular box
Office sale.
This would be delightful attraction
and we predict that music lovers will
respond promptly to Manager Heath
erly's invitation to subscribe for
tickets

PERFECTING BONDS
The City Council Met In Special
Called Meeting Last Night To
Take Final Action On the Water
Works Compromise Issue.

At the special session of the council
which was called by Mayor Magoffin
| last night for the purpose of
perfecting the bond issue of few days
40, all members were present at roll
call but Alderman Scott and he srriv-
ed shortly after and was marked up as
present. Act ng city clerk, J. n. Cstlin
read the call which read as follows:
To the Aldermen of the City of Ell
Paso; Gentlemen: You are hereby re-
quested to Assem- bic at the city hall in
special session this evening at 7:3O
o'clock p. m, for the purpose of passipe
supplemental ordinance" to that of
October Goth, 1898, relating to the is
suance of bonds for the compromise
and funding of certain Sci Paso City
Water Works bonds.'' The OBJ
ject Of said supplemental ordinance"
being to authorize the city clerk to
countersign the coupons to said COM
promise and funding bonds by his
autographed signature.
JOSEPH MAGOFFIN,
Mayor of the City of Ell Paso.
Judge Kemp then explained what
business there was on hand to be trans
acted and after few remarks, he read
the following letter which fully ex-
plains itself:
AUSTIN, Feb. 4, 1899.
Wyndham Kemp, Esq, Ell Paso, Tex.
Dear Sir-I have received your favor
OF the 10Th uit. in regard to the Ell Paso
@ ty water works com promise bonds. |
think you misunderstood my letter in
reference to the Coupons being signed
by the city clerk. AS stated in my for
mer letter, there is no objection to the
recorder signing the bonds and coupons
but your city charter reduires that the
bonds be cOuntersigned by the city
clerk and l think the coupons should
also be signed by him. Your order
provides that the bonds shall be- signed
by the mayor and attested
by the recorder and counter
signed by the city clerk.

young and wonderful, let them too go
to hear her, for they can see and hear
a true musician, quite unlike most OF
those before the public.
1t is hard to realize that 1t is mere
child that plays, as che draws from the
instrument such wealth of melody and
tone. Her technic is partly the re- ult
of her own invention, for her little
hands are too small to compass an oc-
tave. But her perfect understanding
of what she plays must impress itself
upon every one, whether himself an
intellis ent student of music or not.
Her work, while uncommon in the
extreme, and while especially marvel
GUS by reason of her
youth, is nevertheless to
be considered away from her childish
personality if the true greatness of her
genius is to be conceived. She is a
natural musician, and most of those
who have spent years of study upon the
art can learn in some particular from
this little child.

DRUNKEN REPORTER.
AttaChe of the Herald (?) Accused
Of Taking Up With Curly Sulll-
van.

The report is going the rounds of the
local papers that a HERALD reporter
went over to Juarez to interview Cur
great icon man unawares was victimiZ-
ed by him, became Intoxicated and was
hauled to this side of the river and
thrown out.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
the report is without foundation in
fact and that as reporters go, those on
the HERALD staff will compare very
favorsbly as regards sObriety with the
male attaches of any other paper in the
city-editors included.
A hint to the wise is sufficient.

PRETTY COSTUMES.
Will be a Strong Feature of the Opera
Tomorrow Night.

Full dress rehearsals are in progress
for the .'Chimes of Normandy" and it is
knownsfor |, fact that the opera will be
beautifully rendered. The costuming is
very fetching" and the weaves of the
greater part of the stage wardrobe will
be attractive to the point of irresistible
ness. One young lady participant has
already been awarded bunch of beau
tiful carnations for gracefulness of pose
and rhythmic movement. There is a
full orchestra. the members Of which
have their parts well in hand and the
renditions of the chorus and orchestra
are purely Operatie. The leading char
acters Of the cast all have a good con-
ception of their parts and are bent on
making favorable and permanent
records. 1t can be declared that all of
them will be much congratulated by
outbursts Of prolonged applause. This
opera is about the heaviest, and at the
same time the most artistic undertaking
ever assayed by the local amateur CON
tingent, but it has been handled with
all vim, yigor and determination necessa-
ry to assure a splendid presentation.

wYCHE, THE STORY TELLER.
He Is Here to Spend Two Weeks in
the Public Schools,

Mr.. r. 7. Wyche. the story teller, is
in the city to spend two weeks. He
comes mt the invitation of Supt r. z.
Moses and others.
Mr.. Wyche is the originator of a new
movement in the educational field of this
country.
The idea is an original one with him.
He visits schools and tells classic and
literary stories. His stories of Hiawa-
tina. King Arthur and his Round Table.
ULYSSES. Uncle emus, Fairy and Bible
stories are drawn from original sources.
These are given in the school room or
chapel as a part of the daily program,
and so arranged that they fit in per-
fectly with the spirit and aim of the
different grades and classes.
These stories charm and delight the
young people, leading them to love the
good and beautiful i'll literature, and to
read for themselves.
Mr.. Wyche does not recite as air
elocutionist. He starts from a different
standpoint His purpose is to relate the
child and student to literature. For ex-
ample. he will take Tennyson and Sir
Mallory and from this standpoint tell the
stories of King Arthur and his Round
Table, putting the story in language
that the student can understand. Those
who have heard him say that his man
ner is simple, but magnetic and charm
ing.
Mr. Wyches work is appreciated by
the schools and general public. He has
many engagements ahead. He was one
of the speakers at the Teachers AS
sembly at Morehead last June, and now
he has received an invitation to speak
in one of the departments at the South
ern Teachers Association, which meets
at Memphis, Tenn, December 2T-30.
