THE VILLAGE POSTMASTER."-"The
Village Postmaster makes its first appear
ance in Washington at the Lafayette
Square Opera House next week, commence
ing the 9th. The Village Postmaster has
just ended triumphant run of 1O6 nights
at the Fourteenth Street Theater, New
York. This play. depicting life in New
England, which will have its inaugural pre-
sentation in this city. was written by Je-
rome Eddy, the well-known New York
journalist, and Miss Alice Ives The drama
will be given here in all respects identically
as during its New York series of perform
ances; the same special scenery the same
music and the same company, including
Frank Mordaunt, Dan Colyer, w. B.
Pasco George Ober, Frank Lyman
Richard Nesmith. Mabel Eaton, Jennie
Wethersby, Annie Buckley, Ada Levick,
Vivian Townsend and many others. The
play has received most tiattering notices.
The consensus of metropolitan opinion is
that nothing more sweetly tender, more
sincerely pathetic or more brightly inter-
spersed with the elements of true comedy
has been recently seen upon the stage.
The Village Postmaster" has been COM
pared to the "Old Homestead" and it is
said is as good a play, and better than
the County Fair" and very much like
Blue Jeans. The play is a rural drama
of picturesque life down in New England
way back in the sos, when Pierce was
President of this country. The Village
Postmaster is said to be full of human
| nature and heart interest, with a pretty
| love story running through it.

and it is hoped and belieyed since they
survived the rigors of last winter, that
they will multiply with the coming
years, and their cheerful song make
musical our groves and wooded bills.
We hope it is unnecessary to say to our

ore, and of a grade sufficient to pay.

the whole state, and a part of Utah, at

and having secured it, is o erecting
his mill of 20 stamps and will soon be

Boulder creek in Gilpin county, and as
it so happens, it is close to the ground
where the writer piled his prentice pick
