The Andrews Opera company was greeted by a crowded house last night, it being one of the most refined and representative audiences that has assembled in Prescott for many day. The presentation of Martha by the company was all that could be asked, and the large audience was highly pleased. The singing of Catherine Lee, the soprano, was wonderful, her rendition of ''The Last Rose of Sum- mer" showing her powers and scope of voice to be almost unlimited. Florence Clayton, as Julia, also had very sweet contralto voice, which very much pleased her hearers. Jas. Stevens, as Plunkett, has a baritone voice of exceptional melody and rich ness, while J. c. Taylor, as Lionel, sang tenor in a manner that was be- yond criticism. While the chorus was not large, it was considered good, and everybody went home more than satis- fled with the evenings entertainment. The company will present the opera Carmen tonight.
 The United Moderns held very interesting meeting last night and transacted considerable important business. The charter which arrived a day or two ago was presented to the lodge and is very handsome piece of work. The resignation of Chancellor Jenkins was accepted and T.

Supreme Chancellor Johnson of Denver is ex- pected to visit the lodge here in the near future, and an unprecedented growth is hoped for and expected for the lodge in Prescott. All members of the order are cordially asked to take hold and help in the realization of this result.
