o Sleep, bright jewel Of the silent
night, Thou unlockest the door Of
the soul, when it would enter the land
of sunny dreams and unconscious
songs. Thou are surely nights golden
cradle in which kind nature rocks her
weary children and sings TO them her
sweetest vespers. The happy birds
the fragrant flowers. the tired leaves
all organic life are driven into thy
silent banquet halls and feel the
magic power of thy refreshing prayer.
Yes, when the suns golden rays have
been conquered by the silvery light ct
the moon; when the rosy curtain in
the Western sky has been quietly
transformed into the lark mantle OF
night; when darkness gently covers
the lost trail Of the fleeing day; when
the bright gems Of night look maiest-
lcally down upon droysy eyelids and
tired petals-then the good angle OF
love blends the conscious into the cub
conscious and seals them at the por;a
with the silent kiss of sleep.
o sleep. sweet sleep. thou God-given
prayer Of unconsciousnessi May thy
noiseless chariot bear me far into .hy
silent banquet hall and teach me how
to use the golden key Of the spirit. o
let me unlock Heavens shining win
dows and nourish my tired body at the
silent breast OF nature
Hold me, o hold me bondsman Il
thy magic spell until my unconsciou
soul is refreshed Then, with thy IN
seen wings, fan me back TO eonsciou
life TO enjoy the golden morn Of IN
coming day.

Medigna, and during the insurrectlon,
L El Captain, is exceedingly clever.
Stanley Felch, as Senior Amabie
Pozzo, hasn't a great deal to do in
"El Captain" but does that little well.
Harry Davies, the tenor of the com
pany, made very pleasing Count
fernando Verrada. Mr.. Davies has a
splendid voice, and, what Is not usual
with tenors, has histronic ability far
above the average.
Robert Dunbar made a very good
looking insurgent and was forced to
respond to two encores after his solo
in the third act
Miss Mary Darlington. the leading

Miss Darlington has a rich soprano
voice, sweet and full, is good looking

a greater degree Of ease and natural
ness than could be expected OF one

The choruses are exceptionally
good and the opera is put on witt

the carts or barges. by which It Is taken
over the country.
During my visit to the elevator. and, in
deed, throughout the trip, / was accom-
panied by Mr.. A. Joynson of the Manches-
ter Canal Company. He tells me that the
grain imports have steadily increased since
this elevator was finished. and that they
now amount to about 10000 tons annually.
During the first six months of this year
5000 tons OF grain have been received into
the elevator. and the most of this came
from the United States.
He tells me that the shipping from the
United States is steadily increasing. Reg
ular steamers have been run here for years
from Galveston, and there have been acco-
sional sailinGs from Baltimore. Newport
News. Charleston. Brunswick. Mobile and
Pensacola. Cattle are now brought here
from Philadelphia. and in the near future
there will be a direct steamship line from
Chicago to Manchester by way of the st.
Lawrence, the Weiland canal and the great
lakes. These ships will bring cargoes OF
lumber and provisions and a regular serv-
ice will probably be maintained.
The traffic of the canal is steadily grow
Ing. Within the last six months the reve-
nue. has increased TO the amount OF s125.-
O00. and there has been a steady growth in
the business since the tcz,nning. The
traffic OF the present year. will probably ex-
coed 100000 tons and will be greater than
that Of any year in the past.
In my ride up the canal l passed cotton
ships from America and from Egypt. The
American imports IN to she middle OF
last April were almost 400. 600 bales and
the Egyptian about one-fourth that num-
her At the lumber docks L saw a ship
from Mobile unloading n cargo OF pitch
pine and at the same wharf was one SINH
larly loaded from Pensacola. There were
great tank steamers from the Russian oil
fields at the Russian oil tanks on the right
bank Of the canal. and on the left other
tank steamers discharging American petro-
leum. l passed the freezing works where
the New Zealand ships land their frozen
mutton in my sail on the Duke of Lein-
ster and also the great cattle sheds and

IN ONE Of THE LOCKS Of THE CANAL

Special correspondence or The Sunday Repubiia.
Manchester. England, July ~ havo
come to give you the latest and newest
Information about the Manchester ship
canal. 1t is rumored that Pierpont Morgan
and his associates nave bought a control
ling interest in it and that they will short
ly put on a new line Of steamers to trade
between Manchester and the United StaesA
There is no doubt but that Morgan's Lon
don bank owns a large amount Of tn
shares. 1t took them when the canal was
begun and has held them ever since. II
these rumors are correct the canal Will
soon be the chief route for the entrance
Of our goods into this busiest part of the
United Kingdom. and Manchester will be-
come a headquarters of the American in
vasion. Indeed, the city already receives
steamer from New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore. Galveston and New Orleans.
Hundreds of thousands of cotton bales from
our Southern States are here brought via
the canal. to be transferred to the mills;
an enormous grain elevator has sprung up
for the storage of American wheat, and I
find that the warehouses along the Man
chester docks are already filed with ell
sorts of American goods.
But first let me tell you something about
this great port, which the English have
created in the very heart of their country.
Manchester is far back from the sea- 1t is
one of the busiest cities of the world, and
the country surrounding it is a vast beehive
of work. In passing over the railroads to
and from it in every direction you ride
through groves of smokestacks, and 1t Is
impossible to get ava from the dense
smoke. which pours forth from the foun-
dries, factories and mills which dot the
landscape.
Including its sister city, Stafford. the
