Au5ran's ssOlivette," one of the best
comic operas ever written, with It's den-
mite mirthful plot and melodious score
was revived at the American Theatre last
Monday night.
Next weeks production of La Cocoon
da, signalizes an event of UNUSUAL I'M
portance in the musical world. The opera
was first sung in America at the Metro
politan Opera House. December 80, 1885
ten years later it was given in English at
the Grand Opera House by the Heinrlchs
Opera Company. In the cast was MISS
Macnichol. who will figure prominently IN
the Castle Square Opera Company's pres
enta t;on. Boito's Ibretto relates a story
of exceptional dramatic interest. The
scenes are laid in Venice in the seven
tenth century. Barnaba. a spy OF the
Council of Ten, loves Gioeonda, a pahao
singer. who is in owe with EMO, a
Genoese noble, originally the betrotned OF

saved by G%ioconda, who reunites the
lovers. Before Gioconda can secure a
Mace of safety Barnaba appears. Realiz-
ing the impossibility of escape. she staos
herself. Ponchielli has furnished a score
of great melodic beauty, admirably Illus
trative of the tragic story. The presen-
fation will be of exceptional interest IN

THE MOLINElK P0|SONBOOK
CELEBRATED CRIMES
: BY
ALEXANDER DUMAS.
The Poison Histories Molineux Had
in His Library.

On one side of this is a picture of Dumas
and on the other a picture of Molineux.
Below is a panel, enclosing the following
sentences
In his testimony before the Coroner's
Jury Harry Cornish spoke of a library
Molineux had in his ROOM Among
other books were Dumas Celebrated
Crimes"
These volumes, written by the mas
ter Frenchman, contain the histories
of the most celebrated poison mys-
teries in the annals of crime.
Cornish's belief is that Molineux i'm
bibed his poison ~propensities after
reading these volumes
The "Evening World has had trans
lated and epitomized the most famous
of these histories from the original
French.
Finally, the article consists of a precis
of Dumas sketch of the Borgias, spoiled
by some cheap newspaper butcher in
process of garbling for the immediate pur-
pose in hand.
For rank, dastardly scoundrelism
crossed with abandoned idiocy, this takes
the prize. The unspeakable a~trocity OF
endeavoring to enfiame public sentiment
against an accused man is only COM
parable to the contempt of law and
decency which District Attorney Gardiner
displayed in his course and language in
dealing with Molineux and his wife, who
seems to be under all theories innocent OF
any share in the crime under investi-
cation.
Is altogether dwarfed by its fatuous sill,
ness. If the possession of a copy OF
Dumas accelerated Crimes is to b.
taken as proof of murder or ever the de-
sire to murder, the possessor of pretty
nearly every good general library in the
world must be deserving of the hangman's
moose.
If the Judges of the New York Court!
of Sessions knew their business and ha(
any real regard for justice, they woul'
have Mr.. Pulitzer behind the bars OF
charges of contempt of court. before an
other lightning edition of his sheet coult
be placed upon the street. The New Yorl
papers will have to be curbed sooner o.
later and no better time than the preSen
will ever be found to begin.

Japan's Quaint Foxes.

In Japan, with its quaint, gentle peo-
even the foxes are not the same as
they are in other countries. Here a fox
Is a plaything, a creature to be harried
and torn to pieces by dogs for sport.
In Japan it is well to address a fox
by the most honorable titles, to treat
him kindly, place food for him, and be
very glad when he goes. For in Japan
foxes have great power, and 1t is not
well to offend them. Many are the
tales he little people whisper-whis-
per for fear the foxes will hear and
take offense-about the deeds of mari
the fox. They are popularity supposed
to take up their abode with those
whom they ~fancy-and, alas! also
with those whom they do not fancy.
And sometimes ii is hard to decide
which is the happier. For the foxes
must be fed. And as there are always
many in a family, and they do not Wis
1T singly, much rice must be consumed
for them. Good luck ome from their
arrival, however, but it is liable to be
changed into direst ill-fortune at any
moment. For the foxes are exceed
ingly sensitive, and a word carelesSly
spoken, nay, even a thought some
times. will serve to send them off in a
huff, and then all sorts Of misfortunes
Will follow. When a man is seized
with a fit in Japan they say He is
afflicted with foxes" or He has made
an enemy of the foxes" A story is told
of a woman who kept a little shop
where rice was sold. Every night a
tall woman entered the shop, bought
some rice, laid two coins down upon
the counter and left without saying a
word. The woman would place the
coins in a drawer. and think no more
OF them. One day the m entered
the shop, bought her rice, but as she
turned her back the shopkeeper saw a
long white tail hanging below her
dress. She cried out, and the woman
disappeared. Rushing to the drawer
where she had placed her money, she
found some coins and some dried
leaves. Half of the money she had re-
ceived was good; the other half had
been bewitched, and had turned back
to dry leaves. Families not having
foxes are not allowed to marry into
those having them, as when the foxes
attach themselves to a family it in
Cludes in it's affections all it's members,
even to those most remote. One of the
most famous families in Japan claims
it's supremacy to be due to the good in
fluences of the foxes who have taken
up their abode in that family.-New
York Herald.

The testers Trick.

Peter the Great vas onc very neatly
caught in a trap by a jester attached
to the court. The jester was noted for
his cleverness in getting himself and
his friends out of difficulties. 1t hap
pened n day that a cousin of his had
incurred the cars displeasure and was
about to be executed. The jester there
fore presented himself before his i'm
perial master to beg for a reprieye. On
seeing him approach, the car, divin-
Ing his errand, cried: 1T is no good
to come here; l swear l will not grant
what you are going to ask" Immedi-
ately the jester went down on his
knees, saying: L beseech your i'm
perial highness to put that scamp
cousin Of mine to death" The car,
thus caught in his own trap, could
only laugh and pardon the condemned
man.

This Horse Is a Great Jumper.

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Not many horses trained in steeple-
chasing and ridden by skilled jockeys
could make a clean jump of twenty
feet. When George King, the cow
boy, started out to round up a herd
of cattle that was p~asturing in the
valleys of the Santa Ana river he in
vited an Indian, Juan Machado, to &C
company him and help him in the cat
tie driving. Machado was on the point
of agreeing, when King said Joking
ly: we will take u guns along and
we might get a fat Tear" Immediate
ly the Indian appeared to be in a state
of abject terror and refused to take
the trip, assuring King that the grizzly
bear always overheard such threats
object were sure to be eaten up. Laugh
ing at the Indians superstition, King
started on without him. a day or two
afterward he was following a lonely
trail alone. The trail led through a
dense thicket and was near the border
OF a dangerous SuIch. Suuuenl Tie
pathway made a sharp curve and dis
closed to the cowboys sight a monster
grizzly gnawing at the quivering flesh
of a newly killed yearling. Now, OF
all circumstances calculated to excite
q grizzly the interruption of his meal
is the surest. Therefore when the
mounted cowboy rode almost upon
him he rushed forward with & terrify-
ing growl. The little horse needed no
spurs, but darted onward through the
brush with incredible swiftness, the
angry bear following close behind. In
a moment the horse and rider were on
the edge of the gulch, and there was
no room for turning. King and his
horse both knew that. There was but
one thing to do. King raised the
bride reins, the little horse gathered
her legs beneath her, sailed straight
through the air-and landed safely on
the edge of the opposite bank. The
cfasm was twenty-one feet across.
And the Indian said: Il told you so.
I told you the bear would hear YOU"

Ia Porte. Texas.

The progress OF the construction
work at La Porte, Texas, the future
great deep-water shipping point at the
head of navigation on Galveston Bay
on the Gulf of Mexico, is progressing
favorably. The wharves and switch
ing tracks are nearing completion and
the work on the streets and on the
sewerage and water systems is now
under way. Mr.. /. r. Holmes, the gen.
eral manager of the La Porte Improve
ment Company and the La Porte
Wharf and Channel Company, is per-
sonally experimenting the improve
ments. Mr.. Holmes makes his head
quarters at the Sylvan Hotel and Wis
itors to La Porte during the next six
weeks and before the time of the first
general La Porte sale. which will be
held in February, 1900, should intro
duce themselves to Mr.. Holmes and al
low him to extend to them facilities
for getting a thorough understanding
of the conditions surrounding the La
Porte enterprises.
