Andrews Opera Company.

Those of our public who really
appreciate the classical in music,
the way of Grand Opera, will
welcome the fact Manager Ennis is
using his best efforts to secure the
celebrated ANDREWS OPERA
COMPANY for two nights in this
city. Whether he succeeds or not
depends upon the amount OF a sub
scription sale he is enabled to as
sue, the requisite being 200 books
containing, 4 tickets each at $500
per book, which number will guar
antee the company's appearance
here in choice of operas to be select

tuneful and charming opera MAR
THA," Mascagna's fomous prize
opera ''CAVALERIA RUSTIC
AFA" and the beautiful French
opera cOmique, "GIROFLE-GIRO-
FLA" The reason of the subscrip-
ton system is that it permits the
price of seats being placed within
the reach of all who specially enjoy
operate entertainments, viz: S1.OO
each, or IS cents each where the
book is secured, saving by the
after of IS percentto thepurchaser.
The company is one of the most
prominent now before the public
presenting Grand and Comic Opera
in English. 1t aggregates 40 PEG
pic and the cast includes some Of
the very best lyric talent known to
the operate stage. The fact Of
their making a prolonged run in

way of accessories and handsome
costumes, which, together will
their capable ensemble adds mucf

BETTER THAN THE OREGON
Will be the Three New Battle
ships to be Constructed.

The plans for the tree first-class
battleships authorized by the Naval
Appropriation Bill just passed at
Washington, are being worked out.
The general features of the ships
have been defined, subject to the
approval of the Secretary. The
battleships will be 1000 tons larger
than the Maine and Missouri class,
and of total displacement of 49,
500 tons, making them by far the
largest ships in the American navy
and about equal in dimensions to
the best type of battleships now be-
ing constructed abroad under the
new practice. Though larger than
the Maine, the ships will be laid on
almost the same lines, being only a
little greater in every dimension.
They will carry each four pinch
guns in turrets. This caliber is an
inch less than the guns carried by
the Oregon, but by improved de-
sign they will be almost equal in
penetrative power. The eight-inch
guns of the Oregon type, although
they did very effective work al
Santiago and Manila, have been
abandoned.

Samoan commissioner. On his return
TO the United States his work was high

Britain at once acquiesced in his ap-

on the Samoan bench the talented
southerner was at once consulted by
the president with view to his return
TO the islands as the supreme judge.
The appointment was in no sense a
political affair Mr.. Chambers con-
scented, and he has since ruled as the
judicial representative of the three
great powers.

old Meanwhile Mr., Reese had married
and settled down, but an az @ dent occurred
which disabled his arm for life. He
found it impossible to continue on n

Mr.. Reese then commenced the study
of law. Shortly after the breaking out
of the war he enlisted, but when he
came to undergo the physical examina
tion necessary, much to his chagrin, he
was rejected because Of the injury re.
ferred to. He then again applied him
self to study law and was admitted to
practice in March, 1865. He practiced in
Os,eola, Iowa until 1871, when he came
TO Nebraska.
Mr.. Reese settled in Plattsmouth and
remained there about two years.

health of his family to move away from
the river. He then went to Saunders
comfy, establishing himself sixteen
years and achieved state reputation.
He was elected member of the state
constitutional convention in 1878 and

cans of his district, but he declined the
nomination In the fall of 1876 he was
elected district attornev of the then
Fourth judicial district and was re-
elected in 1878 and again in 1880, prac-
tically without opposition.

After leaving the bench he established
himself again in the practice of law in
