Special to the Register
CAMBRIDGE, u, October 1.-The
opening of the Colonial Theatre to-
night was an immense success. social
ly and financially. The splendid
building, on Wheeling avenue, at the
corner of Sixth street, attracted more
than one thousand people and the
scene when the curtain rose on the first
act of "1'he Evil Eye" was notable
Cambridge society was very much IN
evidence and the beautiful theatre was
a picture with its brilliant electric
lights. elaborated decorations and its
charming audience.
The play house is one of the best in
this part OF the country. modern from
every point Of view, and would be a
credit to any city of fifty thousand
people Its seating capacity Is 1,4O0
upon its lower floor There are two
galleries. Ghe scenic and acoustic ar
engagements are perfect
To-nights performance was prefaced
by an address by Hon. David Miller,
who won deserved applause.
The suspicious opening of this thea
ire is an indication of the substantial
boom Cambridge is now enjoying and
the $4,000 invested is an evidence of
progressiyeness not to be misunder-
stood
The last act was far out OF the or
binary, in its effect and the finale was
worthy of any city. The audience was
a brilliant one. the ladies being strictly
up to date as to costume. 1t was mid
night when the curtain fell upon as
fine an entertainment as a city of 100,-
900 people can afford. and Manager Mil

The special session of the Maryland
legislature which was called by Gov.
Smith to convene at Annapolis last
Wednesday is now in session, and from
a neighbOrly position has large inter
est to Delawareans. The object of the
extra session is to largely reduce the
colored vote in Maryland and thereby
make the vote of the State Democratic.
The man behind the scheme seems to
,be ex-senator German. The Cecil
dVhig in speaking of this extra session
says:
The Democratic bosses who are
gushing through the extra session
scheme talk in a jubilant way nova
days as if they had steered clear of all
+he rocks and now had only plain sail
ing before them with safe harbor in
full sight. They know that they can
make or unmake certain laws, and
from this they argue that they can
with impunity and with perfect safety
use that power as they see fit. 1t does
not seem to enter into their calcula-
tions that they have not only the
courts bnt the people to reckon with;
that the very men whom they seek to
hamper and annoy by an intricate bal
lot will have something to say on this
subject when it comes their turn to
speak"

FRIDAY closed the session of the
Legislature, adjourning without the
choice of United States Senators, the
8 chief thing for which they were cleo
ted. There were seven Regular Re-
publicans" who refused to go into
caucus with the Union Republicans,
or to vote with the latter if they pre-
sented the name of Mr.. Addicks. 1t
will be recollected that six years ago
-four men stuck to Addicks, thereby
defeating Col. DUPONT for the Senator
ship, and making a vacancy. Now

same coin, as if this punishment did
not fall upon the whole State rather
than upon Mr.. Addicks.
The State Sentinel in reference to
the action of the Regulars in leaving
Us no representatives in the upper
branch of the National legislature
closes as follows:
"Never before in the history of the
Union Republican party has it been
stronger than it is to-day and we now
know where to draw our lines in future
campaigns. There is no hope of ever
uniting the two factions of the Repub-
liean party, and the Unionists must
