coIumbia-"Cyrano de Bergerac.v

In the present acceptation OF the word
there is no more similarity between opera
comique and comic opera than between
cavalry an dCalvary. The sounds alone
are alike. The desire of the period is
for amusement set to music, and he who
attempts to bridge the breach between the
land of tears and sighs and that of laugh
ter undertakes a feat too hazardous to be
accomplished with such fragile timbers as
bright lyrics, tuneful orchestrations and
witty hbrettos. Still, when this futility
IS noted. there remains the alternative OF
returning to the we'll tried ground where
success has been found time and again.
This was demonstrated to the satisfac-
tion of large audience last night at the
Columbia and to the still greater pleasure
Jf the managements of both house ard
company. The attraction was the much
mooted opera comique "Cyrano de Berg
erac." as interpreted from the score of
Victor Herbert and the book of Harry
Smith. by Francis Wilson and his assist
ants The vast vista of evening suits and
elaborate toilettes in the orchestra seats
evidenced the fact that portion of the
stars old clientele had lost no faith in
it's idol and IDEAL while a gallery packed
by good natured and enthusiastic crowd
also betokened its appreciation of Mr.
Wilson's merits.
In the beginning, let It be understood
that the offering Of yester- evening was en-
tirely different from that witnessed IN
Gotham town some three weeks ago, The
folly of departing from the trodden path
mas impressed Itself upon both the comed
ian and his directors. so that the "Cyrano.'

gret at the return of the mirthmaker nim-
self to the servitude of low comedy, for

himself the Old Testament, will not toler-
ate a member of the race which evolved
that book 1t is difficult TO see what re-
ligious sentiment there is in that sort of
thing
The Boer Republic is a peculiar institu
tion when regarded as a republic; by some
other name it might be more intelligible.
II is Government in which an ignorant
and intolerant oligarchy has in its power
practically all the intelligence and enter
prise Of the country; in which the mi
nority governs; in which labor is oppressed
and capital muleted by unjust taxation;
in which Ignorance is at premium and
progress at a discount; in which the for
eigner, while allowed to reside in the
country, is treated as an outeast, and not
allowed to possess arms to defend himself.
If these be republican institutions there is
something the matter with the English
language. If the fact that a man owns
piece Of land gives him the right to do
as he will with his tenant, We might as
well go back to feudslism and be done
with it.
Finally, there Is the irrational sympathy
with the Boer because he has been so fool
hardy as to bring upon thousands OF inno-
cent and helpless persons the horrors OF
scientific warfare and possible savage up
risings for no good reason that can be
discerned. There is really no obligation
resting upon England to allow a small
even a pitiably wesk-power to maltreat
her citizens and break agreements made
With her She would not allow this in the
case Of a first-class power; why should
she take it from the Boer Republic?

 Ralph Otis, the twelve -year-old son of George P Otis of S1 Butler street, had a narrow escape from being killed by an electric car on shelton avenue nearly in front of the Shelton avenue school about 1:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The boy ran across the down-bound track at the corner of Shelton avenue and Bassett street behind a car going down the avenue and ran in front of car No. 115, which was going up.

His right -hip was dislocated, his left ankle frac- tured and his collarbone was broken in two places. He was attended by pr. Converse.
