that suggests 1.-THE Mikado," but the
music is not in so light a vein, and 1t
has not the snap and dash OF the SUI,
Ivan opera The first scene Is in a
japanese tea house in which the Engnsn
sailors are entertained by the Geisha
girls employed to sing to visitors. Inc
second takes place in and about the
house Of the governor Of the province
An English girl to plague her lover,
who is especially fond of the Geisha
girls, dons the garb of one of the sing
ers and is sold to the governor ana IS
about to be made his bride when she
is rescued by her English friends as
sisted by A. Mimosa San. the chief OF
the Geishas.
The soprano who has the part of Miss
Mollie Seymore, the English girl. is
Miss Clara Lane. Miss Lane has a COM
paratively light part in the opera but
she makes the most OF her opportunities.
She has a remarkably pure, sweet voice
and she was a favorite with the audience
from the start Her 'ricksha duet with
J. X. Murray won them repeated re-
calls. Mr.. hurry has baritone voice
of unusual power and he made good
impression as Reginald Fairfax, the
English officer. One of the most pro-
nounced hits CT the evening was a solo
by Miss Hattie Bell Ladd, the contralto.
1t was THE Jewel of Asia" and the
audience insisted upon half dozen
repetitions before they would allow any
one else to appear on the stage. Mr.
George Tallman, the tenor, was also re-
ceived with great favor. He has voice
of wide range
]. s. Murray, the Chinese proprietor
of the tea house around which the
.Geisha' centers. was as comical as a
stage Chinaman could we'll be, and his
'O-h -h Clis' will be byword with the
gallery gods who heard him. Mr.. Bow
man Ralston played the part of the
Marquis Imari. monarch of all he sur
veyed and self-made Jap who adored
his maker. His makeup and six feet
of shapeless shape would be comical,
even without his facial contortions and
funny lines.
The company carries It's own scenery
which is all new and appropriate.
Lovers of music will be delighted with
the engagement of this company. They
sing up to date operas and do not at
tempt to resurrect the ancient favor
ties from their sepulchers which are al
ready covered with moss.
Tonight the company will produce
DeKoven & Smiths comic opera, THE
.Highwayman" and 1.-The Geisha" will
be repeated at the Saturday matinee
The "Gaiety Girl'' will be given Friday
night and 1.-THE Highwayman" will be
repeated Saturday night.

to Erie from LAHORE township where
five Texas steers have died and several
others are ailing.
The cattle were bought by Messrs-
Ryker and Womeldorh. two farmers hv-
ing in LAHORE township, who purchased
a car load Of large fine Texas steers at
Kansas City about ten days ago which
were shipped to them on the Katy via
Parsons.
The cattle commenced getting sick
about four days ago. The farmers did
not know what was the matter at first
but when the cattle began to die they
decided it was Texas fever and came at
once to this place and notified the coun-
ty officers. Sheriff Yockey went down
to investigate the matter and is putting
up quarantine notices over the south
end of the county where the excitement
over the appearance of the fever Is
high. The farmers in that section fear
the disease may spread and every pre-
caution is being taken to prevent such
a calamity.
The state quarantine officials have
been notified and an inspector is ex-
pected today.

NEED A MAHAN.
Prof Armstrong Makes Plea for
Americanism in Britain.

Belfast, Sept 1.-THE sectional meet
ings of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science. which opened
its seventy-second annual meeting here
yesterday, were well attended TO hear
the addresses Of their respective presi-
dents Many OF these contained COM
plimentary references to the United
States. which was held up as the model
which Great Britain ought to follow.
Prof. H. E. Armstrong of the educa-
tlonal section, made a strong plea for
the injection of some American life and
energy into the British educational sys-
tenn and paid high tribute to the
imaginative Insight and foresight OF
our American cousin, Capt. Mahan,"
who had taught the nation the true
meaning and value of sea power. I'VE
need some Mahan." added Prof. Arm
strong, Ito discuss the larger issues of
national defense through educa ton. The
ship of state is of vastly greater conse-
Quence than the mere navy. Yet, those
who direct attention to the insufficiency
OF its armament are scarcely listened to
and there is not the slightest effort to
secure scientifically adjusted and Or
ganically complete machinery to drill
the crew. which is woefully incomplete
owing to the terrible absence of or
ganization and discipline.
Prof. Armstrong cOntended that what
British education today needed was to
appreciate the value of a scrap heap.
why can't We, continued the speak
er, follow the example of the indus
trious American manufacturer and
agree to scrap our scholastic and aca-
damic ideals. il not our schools and
schoolmasters as well. and redt along
scientific lines?"
In support of his contention that boys
ought to leave school II and then go
to college. Prof. Armstrong said that
much of the success of the Americans
was due to the way in which republican
doctrines were applied in bringing up
their children. adding:
We should set: our children free and
encourage them to be free at an early
age"
Prof. W. D. Halliburton of the Psy-
Geological section. spoke highly of the
| work of Prof. Loeb and his colleagues
of the University Of Chicago in the new
field of physical chemistry.
