THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Henry Esden OF the electric works and
Arthur Macpherson OF the bicycle trust
have entered into contract whereby
the former is to supply the power ana
connecting appliances and the latter the
cycles and roalbed for trolly line cir
cult wherever the wires run. The mo-
tors which are now on the way from the
east will be one-quarter horse power and
in appearance resemble the water can
teen carried by soldiers and prospectors
The motor will be placed just under the
seat and the machine is started and
stopped by pressing lever on the
handle bar. The path or roadbed will
be made of cinders of which an mex
haustible supply for the purpose can be
obtained at the pits near the round
house. The machines will be stabbed at
the rear of the postoffice, chained by
means of a lock which will open when
nickel is dropped in the slot, after
which, by pressing the lever, "you are
off," At first bikes built for one will be
used in the experiment until the riders
become familiar with the workings of
the machine and then bicycles built for
two or a whole family will be put on the
line. 1t is comparatively new iDven-
tion but is already fad wherever it has
been tried.
The reporter dropped into Jim Cros-
by's shop yesterday in search of an item
and found the boss making pair OF
hinges like Frank Hammond has in use
to hold up 20foot gate. We asked him
for whou, he was working and were told
for himself, SO we suppose that his
front gate needs repairs. We dreamed
that halloween had passed, but no
wonder he is entitled to the sobriquet of
Truthful James," The hinges will
hold up half dozen ii necessary.
The man about town was standing
where Uncle Sam sells drafts on parts OF
the world for money, if you have it or no
drafts, cogitating as to whether the lone
nickel should be invested in schooner
or in pasters for good sized love letter
that had 800 miles carriage before it,
when one of our incest young ladies
came in and inquired 'about that house
to rent, | will take it, There will soon
be a new bride in Wadsworth.
We have suspended bridges, suspend
ed breeches, suspended payments and
suspended pupils, in this mans town
and of all the suspenders the trustees
are attracting the most commendibe at
tention. For every wrong done in this
world n punishment awaits the evildo-
er, man or bay, and the earlier the disci-
pline is literally dosed out the bette.
Zone of our young ladies was complain
ing to Superintendent Poole that some
work which she was compelled to do
was very tiresome, from the fact that
she had no assistance in it and it took
nearly all her time. Jeff remarked: !:
s'You ought TO have change of shifts"
Then he wondered what made her mad,
and she has ceased thinking about it
since she frond out what shift means in
miners parlance.
The Constable's sale of marble head
stones that was to have taken place at
Reno on March 14th has been postponed.
We understand they will be bought up
and donated to the City Council.

Companari, Bispham and Albers were
the baritones. Edouard de ResZke and
Plancon, the bassos. Beyignani, Man
cinelli and Schalk alternated as con
ductors, the first-named remaining in
New York throughout the season.
The Ellis company, with Melba at the
head, opened in New York in the fall,
and was everywhere, east and west, emil
nently successful.
Aside from the giving of Puccini's
new opera, LA Boheme," this company
was remarkable for bringing 10 this
country tenor who is now nearly equal
to Jean de Reszke. In tinesse and detail
Alvarez is still the Poles inferior; but
his voice Is better and his acting more
natural and intense.
Alvarez appeared in Carmen" Les
Huguenots," Faust" and as Romeo in
"Romeo and Juiiet," the last-na med
role being his best, and pronounced by
critics the finest which has been heard.
Kraus sang the Wagnerian tenor
roles, while Gadsk and De Lussan were
The sopranos, coming after Melba, with
Bensaude and Boudouresque the first
baritone and basso.

SUNDAY Fire at Elba.

A fire caused by defective fiue de-
stroyed the home of Albert N. Law
renee, postmaster of Elba, Sunday
morning. The house was a frame struc-
tura lined with muslin and paper and
burned rapidly when started.
Mr.. Lawrence was unable to save
but very little of his household effects
A large blacksmith shop standing near
the house was also destroyed, 1t be-

formances were given embracing the
services of some Of the greatest sing
ers which the world has known.
In all probability the ensembles of
those operate festivals were not upon
the same high standard as those to which
we are now accustonied; but the fer
vor of the individual artists and the
wild enthusiasm of the audiences were
unquestionably greater.
The advent of the New Orleans Grand
Opera company in the central section
of America this year has completely
upset all calculations. Here was n COM
pany unheralded, unknown almost,
which came north suddenly and an
nounced brief season in st. Louis and
in Chicago. Other cities were visited en-
route, and finally Canada.
Charging but dollar and a half for
the best seat, this company gave per-
formances which were equal to the
best, in point of uniform excellence, of
those offered by the Grau and the Ellis
companies.
Not only was this the case, but Man
ager Charley presented for the first
time in Chicago Gounod's opera. "The

Uncle Sam Endorses the PEBBLES
Idea of Purity.

A recent army regulation permits
soldiers to purchase oneLhalf pound OF
candy, each day they may desire, as a
welcome and wholesome addition to
their diet. OF course, it is provided
that the candy must be pure. 1t is thus
conclusively demonstrated that pure
candy is not only healthful article of
diet but that 1t is in large measure
required by the human system.
When to purity is added cleanliness
in manufacture, the employment of
skilled workmen, with fresh supply
guaranteed, every condition Is COM
piled with that makes candy a desir-
able article for daily consumption in
moderate quantities for young and old
For several months announcements
have appeared in our columns calling
attention to the delicious candies man
ufactured by the well-known and re-
liable house of The Joseph. r. PEBBLES
Sons Co, of Cincinnati, which are sold
in this crty by J. F. Wehrs and H. F..
Curtis.
Inc manufacturers give guarantee,
and their word means something, Of
absolute purity and high grade of ma
terials used, cleanliness and skill in
workmanship and supplies furnishedto
their agents, fresh daily from the fac
tory. A most important consideration
is, while fulfilling these conditions,
which makes PEBBLES candies superior
to others, that they are no higher in
price. Since we heartily commend all
pure food products, we cannot too
strongly recommend PEBBLES candies
to our readers.
just now when public attention is be-
ing so generally directed to the neces-
sity of using pure water for drinking,
it is important to know that The Jo-

are prepared to furnish the famous
Tallewanda Mineral Springs water,
claimed by them to be the purest ON
earth. BY drinking it, dangers of ty-
phoid fever are avoided. 1t is almost
a specific for stomach and kidney trou-
bles. Ask your doctor if this is not
true.
To meet a general demand for Tale
wanda water in syphons, recent or
der was placed for ten thousand latest
improved syphons, and soon it may be
obtained in ,his desirable form, either
| carbonated, Vichy. Settlers or Lithia.
Besides it is furnished plain. Tale
| wanda water is better than water fit
cred with alum, and better than dis
tilleL water, which has neither living
salts nor healthful microbes. 1t is
supplied as it comes fresh from nature
simply pure. Pamphlets giving a
full description of this wonderful wat.
er are furnished on application to The

In concluding. a word must be said
in praise of the splendid work which is
being done by the Castle Square opera
company. of New York. just opening a
Chicago season of ten weeks.
This company has list OF principals
which, though not nearly equal to that
of the first two companies. is still OF q
caliber permitting excellent representa-
tions of the standard operas of the
French and italian schools, and the
lighter ones of the German. The chorus
is superior and the costuming and
stage mounting equal to the best se-
durable.
The operas are sung in English. an
item of highest importance and one
which is bound to have a weighty and
lasting influence upon the development
of opera IN this country.

less than 81 900, 900 was subscribed and
spent for tickets to the New York sea

Four performances week were
given, plan which the Grau company

Spotted Fever Claims a Victim at
the St. Cloud.

Mr.. Frank Bryner, of Washington, Pa.
who has been employed by the suck
eye Pipe Line Co., and was stopping at
the ST. Cloud hotel, died there Monday
about one o'clock. He had been there
since week ago Saturday night, but
was not confined to his room until
Tuesday evening, and then he did not
seen to think thath was going to his
room for the last time. He was taken
suddenly i'll and it was seen from the
first that the case was a critical one.
He was unmarried and about 25
years old. His brothers, Jesse, Of
Washington, Pa, and w. s., Of Pitts
burg, were with him at the time of his
death and will take the remains back
to Washington, Pa, for burial.

Queen of Sheba," aid the seldom heard
la Juive," by Ludovic Halevy.
The ballet of the New Orleans COM
pany was distinctive feature, in ad-
vance OF the best which the west or even
the east has seen.
OF the principals, two singers were of
the very first rank, Fierens, dramatic
soprano, and NJ. Gauthier, a tenor of
the heroic type.
Fierens proved not only the possessor
of large, finely trained voice, but an
actress of discretion and intelligence.
Her portrayals of the parts of the jew
ess, Valentine, in LES Huguenots" and
Balkis in the "Queen of Sheba" were
enough to place her among the greatest
of contemporaneous dramatic sopra-
nos. Gauthier gained for himself the
appellation of the electrifying tenor,
his high notes having a brilliancy and
resonance second only to those of that
greatest of robust tenors, Tamagno.
Besides the operas already men
toned, were played Faust" Aida"
Carmen" "Il Trovatore," la Favor
ita" and many others, the season in
New Orleans, covering about four
months, being brilliant and largely pat
ronized.
The inability of the two foremost
companies, Grau's and Ellis, to provide
opera for so little money lies In the
exorbitant salaries paid the singers.
Jean de Reske, Grau's first tenor,
is said to receive a salary of $4,000 a
performance. Edouard, his brother, re-
ceived $2s,OOO for singing AZ basso
roles, while Sembrich, the coloratura
soprano, Lehman, Nordica and
Eames, all sopranos, were each paid
on an average of $1,000 for every per-
formance.
1t is not difficult to see where the
money goes, under such conditionsi
and when we consider the vast sums
expended upon an orchestra Of SO
players, extensive advertising OF all
sorts, aud the mounting of the operas
II is small wonder that New Workers
Philadelphians and others of the east
are asked five dollars for seat in the
parquet,
Westerners are not asked to pay sc
much, the highest amount for single
seat in the Chicago Auditorium being
$3.50; but general admission tickei

dissolubly linked with that of

The growth of opera in this country
has been somewhat mercurial, ad-

manent, failing to maintain the ground
secured, because of the many negative
influences brought to bear and the in

Nevertheless the progress has coDtin-
