The mighty flood that rolls
It's torrents to the main,
Can ne'r recall it's waters lost
From that abyss again!
So days, and years, and time,
DEFENDING down to night
Can thencetorth. nevermore return
Back to the sphere of light.
And man when in the grave,
Can never quit its gloom.
Until the eterr al morn shall wake
The slumber Of the tomb.
Oh! may I find in death,
A hiding place with God,
Secure from woe and sin;
Till ca1l'd to share his blest abode,
Cheer'd by this hope, wait,
Through toll, and care and grief,
Till nv appointed course is run,
And death shall bring relief.

ton.
For the past few years Mr..
Gilman has been unable to teach
owing to a slight defect in his
hearing, but he retained the
use of nearly all Of his facultie:

Mr.. Gilman was always inter
ested in any question of public
policy and in a conversation
| held with the writer few week
ago showed he was fully abreas
Of the times, by discussing Wig
orously the new State amend
ment and the foreign policy o

1.-The IDOLS Eye to be given tomorrow
night, Monday night and Saturday mat
inee. is a decided spectacular operate
composition, replete with weird incan-
t%ations, ballets, marches, new n novel
calcium n electrical effects, grand
choruses and an interesting cymbal
dance by a band of Nautch girls.
The scene of III Idols Eye is laid
in India and the principal character is
Abel Conn, an American magician, who
is touring the world in search of adven-
ture, makes his first entrance by drop
ping from a balloon into the sea, which
washes the base of a British garrison.
| The story of the opera hinges an the
! two eyes of an idol. Both eyes have
magic power, one making everybody fall
in love, the other provoking intense ha-
tired toward him who has it in his keep
ing. There is also in this opera a Scotch
man who has undertaken suicide but
been saved by Abel Conn, and as the law

eide is as good as dead and that whoever
saves him is responsible for his actions.
Abel Conn is kept in hot water all the
time, the Scotchman being a confirmed
kleptomaniac and stealing everything in
sight. There is also a Cuban planter who
bets his whiskers against $50, loses and
then pays the bet on the installment
plan, as well as several odd and en-
PERTAINING characters that one hardly
ever encounters outside of comic opera
but who contribute in large measure to
the fun.
Wang that delicious combination Of
melody and mirth, will be given Tuesday,
Wednesday and Saturday nights. This
will be a legitimate production of Morse
& Goodwin's famous composition. The

and electrical displays will be employed
in its production as that attending the
presentation of this wonderfully comic
opera work when presented in New York
by DeWolf Hopper. 1.-The Fencing Mas

THE STAGE FEVER.

There is some unknown quantity in
theatre life that fuddles the wits Of

No use telling Of the stages ~discomfo.tsl

Some years ago a handsome young girl
came to the Press man with the informa-,
ton that there was nc happiness in life
for her except on the stage. She was an
only child. Her father was distinguished
in one of the learned professions and ann
ply able to provide for her. but nothing
would do except a career in the theatrc
Whereupon her father and mother were
called into a council of war. the matter
was fully discussed, and the upshot OF It
was that the young woman carried her
point. A position was secured for her in
the chorus of a comic opera company and
she endured that uncomfortable expert
ence for two years without complaint.
One nigh ia dispute arose over the ques-
ton of using the bit of mirror in the
dressing room which she occupied with
half a dozen other members of the chorus,
and the end of the alteration was that
milady's face was scratched by y cory
phee. The letting of blood allayed her
fever: she returned to her senses. quilted
the theatre Wrathfully and never return
ed to it.
Husbands who allow their wives to go
on the stage would better secure a di-
yorce at the theatre door. Whether sue
cessful or not. the stage-striclxen wife is
untitled for domesticity. Nella Bergen
was happily married until she got the
notion that ar operate career awaited

from her husband, who was devoted to

people could be, but she went on the
