I regret to announce that Mr.. Morgan
intends to close his engag cement with
the Miller company at the end of this
week. He has some important parts
to study out for the new season in New
York and feels that he needs a few
weeks of rest. In the meantime Mr..
Miller is offering him every possible in
ducement to stay. including a short va
cation al one of our hunting or water

In the TivOli. where Denis O'Sullivan
and the regular company are reviving
'Shamus O'Brien," the expected
crowds are crowding. When this opera
was first produced here the house was
packed nightly, but there was consid-
cradle disagreement on the part of the
people as to the value OF the piece.
While now the town flocks to it as of
yoTe, the arguments are not so notice
able. 1t is pretty generally admitted
that Shamus'' is q masterpiece. 1t is
certainly the only Irish opera and the
greatest work in all the modern Eng
lish school. The one opera of recent
composition that we have been privi-
legged to hear which may be mentioned
with it is Puccini's "Boheme" The
good houses are very much in order,
for tomorrow night marks the TWEEN
tieth year Of the Tivoli's history. For
the last 1900 nights, not counting the
extras for leap years and some matt
nees, the little opera house around the
corner has been keeping the masses
and the classes in San Francisco in

opera and the burlesques at holiday
time. From the Tivoli we have had
many a course in Ofenbach. Lecocq,
Audran, Gilbert and Sullivan and other
masters in the lighter vein. For our
first hearing Of many of their works
we are indebted to the TivoH, which
has also introduced several grand
operas that are now standard The
TivoH has been not only a source of
amusement these twenty years, but an
important educator as well. There is

The people of Rennes appear to be a
stolid. self-contained, Unconditional people,
impressive beyond the popular idea OF Ger
mans and little resembling the excitable
Parisians, who stand in the American fancy
for the whole French people. But although
even a Dreyfus trial cannot shake their
stolidity, there was one occasion when the
people Of Rennes were thrown into great
excitement by something which occurred
within the limits of their town.
On March 26, 1774. masons were demolish-
ing one of the chapter houses of the cathe-
dral when they found five feet below the
surface IA golden treasure of strange de-
sign. evidently very valuable. They took
it to the able, who submitted it to the
proper government officials. 1t was a round
plate of gold, ornamented with figures in
relief and with several Roman gold coins.
while attached to it were three chains of
gold and ninety-four pieces Of Roman
money.

Finley repeated after him. In voice

gradually rose to supremacy in the Roman
empire Them in 391 A. D.. Theodosius
decreed the destruction of all temples and

she closed the lid, carried 1t to the kitchen
and set 1T on the stove. Then as she was a
little late with her evening meal she poked
the fire up bit and put on some light
kindling wood.
In moment Mrs. Schowengerdt heard
such a splashing of the water in the kettle
that she turned around from her work at a
table across the room and looked at 1t.
She at first thought the cat had fallen into
a pan of water near the stove. While she
was looking a snake stuck it's head out Of
the spout of the kettle. The spout was too
narrow to admit the rest of its body, and
as the water was fast becoming heated. the
snake was frantic with pain. and made des-
perate efforts to get out.
With scream Mrs. Schowengerdt ran to
the stove and seized the kettle, running
out into the yard with it. There she poured
out the snake and the water through the
opened lid, and the snake writhed slowly
away.
Whether the reptile had got into the ket-
tie between the meals or whether she
pumped it in when she went to the cistern,
Mrs. Schowengerdt does not know but she
inclines to the latter belief.
