causes distress to all his friends in this
city, where he lived so long and did such
splendid work. The humorous way in
which Mr.. Ralph describes his injuries
and sufferings is characteristic of the
man. Surely he is the stuff of which
heroes are made.
If he had been a soldier he would re-
turn home to have laurel wreaths put OH
his brow and his breast loaded With med
ais and ribbons, but he is only news
paper man, and the sacrifice he has made
to the stern duties of his hard and exact
ing profession does not gain the popular
applause which is the reward of the sol
der. The pen may be niightier than the
sword, but when it comes to hero wor-
ship the sword gets it every time.-Phila-

have been no complaints about the

ed at the business done by the
during this engagement. Those inter
ested IN the why's and wherefores have

ton. but as yet have not solved the
mystery. One says, too much poll

er; and anoAner family suggests that
people do not like the company. What
ever the cause, business has been far
from satisfactory, and il is not prob
able that the Grau will again
come to Salt Iake for so extended an
engagement. One explanation of the
decline in business is that the public
have a a sufiiciency of cheap opera.
for we certainly have received it in
large ii liberal doses during the past
three years. and it has ceased to be a
novelty. Another is that Mr.. Grau, in
stead Of bringing u fresh young
singers and keeping up the standard
established by Miss Darlington and Mr..
Davies, the soprano and tenor of last
year, presents his "stars" of the pre-
vious season, in the persons of a So
prano who has sadly deteriorated. and
a n who was never admired here.
This circumStane alone is sufficient ex-
PLANTATION, n to this might be added
the general lack of features throughout
the company. In short, Mr.. Grau
seems to be trying to obtain the most
patronage for the least expense. by

he has offered in the past. He has
learned to his sorrow during the en-
gagement here that he can't fool all
