With the Lyrics.

A very appreciative audience
greeted the talented opera company
last night when Fra Diavolo was
produced.
The composer OF the grand old
opera was always Aubert In days
gone by but it is now credited to
Audran, composer who wasn't
born when Aubert composed the
we'll known melodies which made
Fra Diavolo the most popular opera
in Europe for many years.
The music in Fra Diavolo is superb
and the text is as imbecile as it al
ways was. People however, don't
go to operas to find great dramatic
points or clever intrigues, they 20 to
hear the singing and listen to the
magnificent music which the great
classic composers made for the eleva-
ton OF musical mankind.
Miss Josephine Stanton and Henry
Hallam carried the masterwork to a
success, which was demonstrated by
the audience in very enthusiastic
manner.
The prima donna OF the Lyrics
was as perfect in her rendering of
her difficult part as she is ia the
beauty OF her face and form and
talents as an actress. The scene in
Zelina's bedroom 10 the second act
was very clever, yet modest aud
charming. Miss Stanton rose To the
occasion and the storm Of applause
which followed her beautiful solo
was well deserved
As Fra Dlavolo, Henry Hallam
was at home. His splendid stage
appearance, his finely cultivated
voice aud his artistic underst audng
OF the role made him the bj-ct Of
tho admiration Of the audieL 90 aud
he kept all spell bound during the
play.
Mr.. Rogers Matteo gave the tai
ented singer rich opportunity to
show his great qualitiee as an actor
and the splendid range of his rich
voice. In The former plays Mr..
Rogers has not had the chance to
show what he can do; as Matteo he
proved himself the great artist he is.
The tenor voice OF Mr.. Parmley is
very pleasing and as Lorenzo he did
some very good work. The part OF
the Captain Of the Carbineers is
suitable to his voice and we shall
always be pleased to hear the hand
some young singer in other operas
whsre his voice will be- used in its
proper pace
The minor parts were rendered in
the usual excellent manners aud the
chorus was simply brilliant.
Daisy Howard makes a beautiful
Roberto and it is hoped that she
will be seen and heard again and
again
On Thursday evening Martha will
Ira produced when Miss Andrews
will make her debut as Martha.

led him to divide his large parish into
small sections with their own churches
and priest and he carved off four new
congregations from the old mother
congregation at Abbeville, the first OF
these was the church OF st. Alphonse
at M~auriceville, now a large and
fourishing church. A few years later
came the churches at Delcambre,
Bancker and Cossinade. In the
building of all of these churches
Father Mehault took a lively interest
and contributed large sums of money.
After more than a generation spent
in this community, during which time
he has labored faithfully for m orality
and religion, mlnisterd to the sick
and dying, buried the dead, married
the men and women of his congrega-
ton and christened the babies, Father
Mehault leaves us to spend his declin-
inc years in the home of his boyhood
in la belle France. He goes with
many tears and regrets from those
who knew and loved him best, and the
community regardless of creed wish
him a safe voyage and pleasant years
in his future home.

Only A Jockey.

Only a jockey was killed by the fall
Only a jockey that's all.
Ay, but the horse, the magnificent
beast?
Oh, he WASH hurt in the least.
Only a jockey, small matter, indeed.
Truly who granteth a heed.
Lo, give the signal, another's in place;
On, on, at once with the race.
Shouting and cheering from field and
from stand,
Heard not a note of the band,
ssFawnfoot," the favorite's far, far

Only a jockey lies dead.
Only a dim-lighted, desolated room,
Filled with deep shadow and gloom;
Only a bosom's quick, passionate
start,
Naught but the throb of a heart.
Only a woman's wild, piteous moan;
Low, faint as she kneels alone,
Kissing and lifting the amethyst pail
Only his mother, that all.
