ALICE NELSON COMING IN
THE SINGING GIRL. -

Though Victor Herbert has written
many successful comic operas. nothing
has come from this composer that has
in any way equaled the two operas
which he wrote for Alice Nelson. 1.-The
Fortune Teller" and 1.-The Singing
Girl THE Fortune Teller" was the
medium of Miss Nelson's introduction
to the American public as a comic
opera star. 1t firmly established her
in a stellar capacity, and 1.-The Sing
ing Girl" which was it's successor only
confiremd and strengthened the little
diva'S position. Throughout Miss
Nelson's career as a leading light in
comic opera, she has very wisely sup
ported herself with the best comic op-
era artists obtainable. No effort has
been made by her management, now
that she is a standard attraction to
reduce her company OF cheaper her
support. Therefore on next Monday
evening at Myar's Opera House. when,
in THE Singing Girl, the Alice Mel
son company appears before a local au-
dience. we shall meet not only with
the magnetic prima donna herself, but
her great basso. Eugene Cowles, her
delightful thor, Richine Ling. her three
great comedians, Joseph Herbert, Jo-
seph Cawthorn, and John Slavin, and
all the members of her original COM
pany. together with her recently i'm
porter contralto, Viola Gillette. and an
organization that for size and impor-
lance has never been surpassed in this
country.

BURGLARY LAST NIGHT
Continued from First Page)

the police had to work on was pair
of old buckskin gloves. left inside the
store and found there this morning.
The gloves were of the coarsest pat
tern and their appearance indicated
that they had been worn by a laborer
or some one engaged in a rough occu-
and there were traces of paint on
them gathered when their owner seal
ed the shed roof to get into the yard.
The fingers of the gloves were short
and they were evidently the property
of some one with a small hand.
1t was the size of the gloves and
the size of the opening at the window
which led the police to believe that
the burglar who entered the store was
either a boy or very small man.
Whoever perpetrated the deed made
good their escape and up to 10 o'clock
this morning there was nothing to IN
dictate that the midnight marauders
were likely to be captured soon.
The chief of police took prompt steps
to apprehend the thieves and if pos
sible to recover the stolen goods. Sew
eral men were put to work on the case
and all surrounding towns include e
Juarez, were notified to be on the look
out.

MANY INQUIRIES
COMING IN FROM THE
EAST AND EUROPE
About the Alleged Diamond Discovery,
And if True There Will Be a Great
Influx of Prospectors.

Letters are pouring into Ell PasO ev-
cry day from every part of the coun-
| try asking for information about the
recent discovery of diamonds near
Captain.
Many are from reputable firms in
the east who express a willingness to
invest in Captain real estate if the
parties here think that the jewels are
genuine. The excitement has been
something novel even for this section
of the west which has had rich min
eral discoveries reported for the past
twenty years. Levi brothers in Hous-
ton have wired to know if the excite
ment is a fake and if not they want
property there. Col. ST Ryan has re-
ceived a request from the Rothschilds
in England for his opinion of the
property. He has also had other en-
uuiries from different sources all want
ing to know if the thing is a fake.
Nearly every business man in the city
has had similar enquiries but none of
them have been able to give accurate
information.
The excitement has gone all over
the world and Ii the gems prove gen.
uine the rush of prospectors to this
country will be something enormous.
All the eastern papers are wiring to
their correspondents here to keep them
posted on the developments and it is
useless to say that they have per-
formal their duty we'll
1t appears that Mr.. Blow. who made
the discovery, is anxious to keep the
matter quiet and refuses to say any
thing about it. He has been connect.
ed with diamond mines and should
know whether the stones are good Or
not. 1t may be that the joke has gone
too far for him and he wants to dis
claim any part in it or possibly that
1t is a genuine find and he wants to
keep it quiet until he files claims on
the property.
At any rate if ,ne find proves good
thing it viii mean no little to this
country There are no diamond mines
in the United States that have ever
been worked and if New Mexico can
produce such a thing the fame of that
territory will go around the world.

The primary election of directors of
the chamber of commerce for the en-
suing year is in progress at the rooms
of the chamber this afternoon. The
polls will be open until o'clock to-
night when the old directors will meet
and canvass the vote polled. Let ev-
cry member vote.
The vote was very light up until The
Herald went TO press but great deal
of interest has been manifested and it
is thought that a good vote will be
polled. The eighteen men getting the
largest vote this afternoon will be the
nominees for directors and from that
number the new board of directors will:
be selected next week.
This is very important matter As
upon the board of directors hinges the
success of the organization, and Sec

At a called meeting of the board
of health neld yesterday in DR.. Races
Office great indignation was expressed
because of the manner in which the
board had been treated by the city
council.
1t was alleged that the suggestions
and precautions of the board for the
protection of the city from epidemics
mad been entirely ignored and the
members agreed that if they were to be
mere figure heads they had better quit
at once.
The good work done by the present
board in freeing the city from small
pox, which menaced it, was pointed out
and the interference of the council was
deemed unwarranted and ungrateful.
After considerable talk the follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopt
ed:
Whereas, we are advised that an
ordinance presented by the board of
health requesting the appointment OF
a sanitary plumber has been referred
to a committee for a report, we, me
board of health, request the city coun-
ell to take no action in the matter
until the board of health is heard:
and the board of health further re-
quests the city council to name time,
say Friday or Saturday night next, 70
meet the board of health for the pur-
pose of considering the recommends
lions of the board
Judge Magoffin and DR.. Race met
this morning at the city hall and dis
cussed the disagreement between the
council and board of health.
1t was decided to postpone any fur
ther discussion of the questions at is
sue until after the carnival.

TWO PRESIDENTS
WILL PERHAPS MEET ON
THE RIO GRANDE BRIDG

And Exchange International Courte-
- sizes. When Mckinley ONES Through
in the Spring. OF a
Magnificent Spectacle and Gorgeous
Entertainment of the Two Great
Men.
The president of the United States
has announced his intention of visit
ing Ell Paso in the spring and 1t is
probable that citizens here Will ar
range to have President Diaz meet
him at the center of the international
bridge.
When President Harrison was here
about ten years ago an effort was made
to arrange d similar ceremonial but
it was not successful, for the president
of Mexico was not able to come him
self and instead sent several members
of his staff to represent him.
Soon after his Inauguration Presi-
dent Mckinley is to visit California by
the southern route. He will pass
through San Antonio and FL Paso, ac-
cording to assurances given by him to
Congressman Slayden of the San An
tonic district and telegraphed today
to the Herald, and will make brief
stops in each one of these Texas
cities.
= 1t is now up to the people of Ell
Paso to arrange for a visit of President
Diaz to the border so that he will be
in Juarez when President Mckinley
arrives. so that the two chief ex-
ecutives of the two greatest American
countries may meet and greet one an
other at the center of the international
bridge.
Such an event would attract crowds
from far and near to Ell Paso and the
occasion would be made one of the
most memorable in the history of the
southwest and it would be one of the
most unique spectacles of the twen-
tieth century.
