Aborn Company, an organization of which
little was known until after the first act
Of the opera, but the praises of which al
most everyone in the small audience Will
now be ready to sing The performance
had several disappointing features, notably
in the complete breakdown of the leading
tenor, Payne Clark, who has been suffer
ing intensely for some time with an af-
fection of his vocal chords but who puck
lily remained on the stage after his voice
had entirely gone in order that the audi
ence might rot be forced to forego the re-
mainder Of the piece. The best work o,
the evening was done by Alelia Fields an
J. *. Murray in the parts of AzUcena, the
gypsy queen, and the Count Di Luna. Miss
Fields reminded one somewhat of the late
Lizzie Macnichol. Clara Lane was not

Nothing but fun is claimed for "Finpi-
gan's Ball." which is at the Academy this
week, and little else is furnished. In the
farce there are pretty girls and new cos
TUNES, funny falls and Irish brogues, spe-
cialties galore and other things. All of this
goes TO make up a pleasant evening 10 those
not seriously inclined. The Trumbull Sis
tiers are featured for their harp speciality,
which deserves the distinction. although, the
Curtis duo would be equally commendable
were its songs of the vintage of the nine
ties. Fred Wilson offers the only natural
female impersonation recently seen In
Washington. while the work OF John Moran,
Lee Deimore and James Wesley is of di-
yersified merit. Shore Acres" follows.

visit abroad, ito notice how the term
Yankee widens in application as one
gets farther and farther away from the
habitat of the real thing.
I'm New York "a Yankee Is

have noticed that the name is applied
to mean skinfints rather than to the
people in general. In st. Louisa Yankee
is understood loosely to b. any one from
the extreme northeast. Here i'll New

everybody above Mason and DiXOn's

enough tAe likelihood Is that he was
one Of the players himself. The coun-
sci of a cabal of democratic and popu-
list leaders and his own vanity made
him believe that his secession at that
time would wreck the republican party
and make him the most powerful Ter
sonage in either the democratic or The
new party which would be built upon
the ruins of the republican party, and
have base money for the chief tenet of
its creed. Teller now sees that the re-
publican party was never stronger in
it's whole forty years of life than it was
after he got out of it, while he himself
has been a sort of partisan outcast ever

Tod Sloane's gameness will never be
questioned by those who saw him win a
race on Walter in a nose finish at the
old East st. Louis track some years
ago. After the race Tod was hardly able
to dismount. Then it was learned that
he had broken an arm in the race. 1t
seems that he vas crowded against the
fence in a jam around one of the turns
and broke his arm. Switching the reins
to his good arm, he rode the race out
with great determination, putting up n
post by the narrowest possible margin

In Arkansas they shoot first and
think afterwards, If they live. A young
man entered the wrong house the other
day, when looking for a dance to which
he had been invited. He wanted to
dance, and told the farmer so, but he,
instead of calling up his daughter and
getting out the fiddle to strike up THE
Arkansaw Traveller" to accompany the
terpsichorean in~clinations of the I'M
WHITING caller, got down his gun and
began a fusilade of lead. Now they are
both dead. How infinitely happy they
might have been had he reached for

that they have paid off in the neighbor-
