There was a big time at the opera
house hist Sunday night when
Henry Mcsser presented kotEehuc's
fine cOmedy in five nets, called Der
Nirrw0rr The cast was an ex-
ceptionnlly good one for amateurs
aud while this writer could under
stand but very little Of the dialogue,
the acting was good and fully APP
prrciated.
Henry Meeser ae Dietrich Lang
sam. was in his element and every
word he uttered brought forth
shouts Of laughter. In makeup
and appearance he resembled very
much II great many of the pictures
we see in the papers Of Dom Paul,
of the Transvaal republic, Mr.. II,
Gromberg as Fritz Hurlebusch, had
IL leading part and played it we'll
throughout, dividing the honors
with Mr.. Messer. MIR. G. f. Guenth-
rr, barring little nervousness in
his first scene, was all right AZ Seller.
Mr.. G. |. Jaeggli as Capt. Langsam,
was cast little out of his line,
being called in to take part origin
ally assigned to Mr.. Philip Wei
hausen, He carried his part very
well, but would have d me much
better in Il different character. The
part of Caroline, Langsam's Frau
was represented by Mrs. Henry
Messer and upon her rested the
burden of nearly the entire play
She was the centre piece around
which all the other characters re-
VOWED aud had she not heen fully
competent, the play would have
beel. failure. twas a bard work.
ing. thankless part land Mrs. Messel
deserves much credit for the super
ior manner in which she handles
it. Doris by Mrs. f. Berchenhotf
was well rendered, rs was also
Babette by Miss Isabel Wendtland
There were several minor parts
taken by Mrs. NJ. e. VOTERS anc
MIR. Alf- Jungbeckr, but they APP
peared only once each.
The play was a success and the
applause was frequent and liberal
The evenings amusement wound
up with IL dance, in which all OF
the young people and some of the
older ones participated. The total
receipts we're $3.50. The music
by Profs. Klesel and Deutsch, was
good aud was highly appreciated

Lieutenant Frank J. Frank, of Topeka

medals enough to cover his coat. The
Tartar started with two dozen parrots
on board, but most of them died en-

The boys brought back with them

Manila as mascot. The dog marched

that there should be progressive self
government, a gradual development of
home government as the Filipino be-
comes more experienced in political af-
fairs and sufficiently educated to under
| stand the questions with which he has
to deal. What the character of this
| government should be is a matter which
has not been touched upon by the COM
mission in its preliminary statement.

deal carefully in this matter in the re-

who should be assisted in &C minister

several tribes. This would eventually
develop into the legislature of the arch
ipelagO. The provinces should be adj
ministered by Americans or by educa-
ted Fiipinos under American guidance
and the cities and towns by mayors
elected by the people possessing certain
educational or property qualifications,
