AMONG THE PLAYERS

Victor Herbert has written q great
many successful comic operas. but none
Of his compositions has met with
greater favor than ''The Fortune TED
ler' which has been one OF the great
successes Of the Alice Nielsen Opera
Company. This beautiful light opera
with its interesting story. comic situ-
ations and delightful melodies will be
sung in the Grand Opera House on
saturday night by Miss Nielsen and
her company. The entire strength Of
Miss Nielsens clever organization will
be utilized in the performance. In the
cast appear the names OF Eugene
COwles, Richie Ling, Joseph Herbert.
Joseph Cawthorn, John Slavin. George
Jennery, Fired Butler and other oriei-
raj members of the big organization
There is new contraltO however in
the person OF Viola Gillette who is a
singer recently brought from Australia
by Miss Nielsen's manager, Frank
Perley There is also another come
dian, Harry Dale, who for some years
past has been with the Bostonians.
Miss Nielsen carries her own orchestra,
which is under the expert leadership
of Richard Eckold.
Selma White. the heroine Of Robert
Grants famous novel. "Unleavened
Bread which is to be presented by
truly extraordinary company at the
Opera House this evening, is one Of the
most talked of characters OF modern fic-
tion. The book has had great sale,
and whether Selma represents a type Of
modern club woman has been seriously
discussed. Robert Grant disclaims any
such intention; yet club women all over
the country have arisen in their wrath
to deny and spurn the allegation Yet,
every reader will not fail to admit that
he has met many such persons as Selma
WHO had mission, but was in doubt Of
what it wasl She abhorrcd the "exclu-
sive set" yet craved money for social
advancement! That the homes on Fifth
avenue did not fly open when she landed
in New York occasioned spasms When
she became the wife of the "chesty"
Senator Lyons and went to Washington.
she was furious because the president
did not bring his cabinet to welcome her
when she alighted from the train! A no
very unusual person, this Selma White
after all. Her visit to the presidents re-
ception and the meeting with Flossie
Williams, is one Of the richest pages in
modern iictional satire. As a play, "Un-
leavened Bread" has occasioned whole
volumes Of discussion Miss Elizabeth
lyree is TO impersonate Selma White: b.
j. Morgan, Wilbur Iittleton, and Eleanor
Robson, Flossie Williams The other
characters are in equally capable hands.
Iiebler and Co. have given the play a
superb production.
Miss Gertrude Coghlan, who is to be
seen as Becky Sharp in an elaborate
scenic production of Thackeray's Van
lty Fair at the Opera House on Fri
day night, Will no doubt bring out one
of the finest audiences of the season.
for ii is a dramatization Of one of the
greatest novels the world has ever
known. According to critics from the
larger cities in which the production
has been seen Miss Coghlan has scored
a complete triumph in this rmarkable
characterization. She is the daughter
of the late Charles Coghlan and in
herits that same theatrical fire and
genius that made of him one of the
very best romantic actors of his day.

COLORED CHILD
CRUELTY TREATED
William Henry CHIer Found
With His Feet Badly
Frozen

Agent Frank Stout, of the S. =. c. c.,
has investigated a case of cruelty to a
child which has seldom been equalled in
his many years Of experience in looking
after and providing for neglected chill
dren throughout the State.
On the evening Of January 8. Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Zurita. of No 1900 West
Tenth street, brought to Mr.. Stout's resi-
dence Henry Guver, colored, aged 9
years. The boys feet were so badly
frozen that it was necessary TO carry him
as he was unable TO walk. Mr.. Zurita
said that the little fellow had applied at
his residence for something to eat.
saying that he was nearly starved. Ex-
animation showed that the toes on each
foot We're frozen and that he had large
lump on his hip where he said that he
had been kicked. His condition was
filthy.
STOOD ON ASH DUMP.
The story told by the boy was to the
effect that for the past three months he
had been living with William Nicholas.
a colored rag gatherer, at Pennsylvania
avenue and Union street. He said that
he had been compelled, during the cold
weather, to work from morning until
night on ash dumps gathering rags.
Agent Stout at once placed the lad in
temporary home for colored children
and on January - sent him to the Home
opathic Hospital for treatment. He re-
mained there nearly FIVE weeks and was
so greatly improved that he has now been
placed in the home for colored children in
Walnut street, above Eleventh, and is in
a fair way to recovery.
FINED BY MAGISTRATE.
Yesterday Mr.. Stout swore out war
rant for Nicholas arrest on charge of
neglect and cruelty and Magistrate
Pritchett fined the man $40 and costs.
Mrs. Mary Price, housekeeper for Mich
olas, was also arrested on a charge OF
cruelty and fined similar sum by the

The snow is staying right along up
this way. There are only a few. bare
spots. Cattle have been fed hay all
winter. /. /. Il think Senator Lewis, of
Fargo, is very unfair to US foreign
born people, with his bill to let no one
vote who can't read the state consti-
tuition. The state has commissioner
part of whose duty is to try to get
immigrants to come here. And when
We come here it is because we want to
make homes here and spend our lives
here. Some of US have lived in the
state and county nearly twenty years,
and have helped to break up couItry
aud make farms. We have paid taxes
just the same as natives, and what is
good for native farmers is good
for us, and people can learn what
is right and what is wrong by
reading it in Norwegian, German,
Swedish, Danish, or any other Chris
tian language, the same as English.
And it would not be "a happy or satis-
fed life IL taxpayer man could not
vote even. for assessor, while a tax
payer native neighbor could. I do
not believe many of our native neigh
bors want us not to vote, for we vote
for what We think is public good, same
as they do. In one or two generations
the immigrants children, who have
been to school and may be high school,
know nothing but English. So there
can never be in this country for long
a. class Of people who speak a different
language from the natives. II you
print this, please make it read better
in English than l have.
