The death of Miss Grace Golden, which
took place at her old home in New Har-
mony. Ind. will be greatly regretted here,
where she had many friends. She was a
conscientious singer and carried to her
work an earneStness and sincerity which
were convincing to her audience. AS
woman she possessed admirable traits or
character which endeared her to all who
enjoyed her acquaintance.
Fritzi-Scheff will make her first appear
ance in the opera written for her by victor

Lafayette Opera House.

Arizona" which opens the season at the
Lafayette Opera House, beginning next
Monday night, has had career of uninter
rupted success in almost every large city of
the east. 1t has played in New York at the
Herald Square Theater and the Academy of
Music for over 100 consecutive nights, and
it is claimed that it has achieved a dis
tinction of being the only American drama
by American author which has ever
reached this record in theatrical history.
Arizona as the name implies, is a play
which has it's scenes, characters and Incl
dents located in the far west. The people
of the play comprise sturdy ranchmen and
cowboys, the brisk alert women of the
pioneer generation and their dainty grace

whole world has come to wonder and ad-

Augustus Thomas has chosen to utilize in
the way of literary materials. The piece
fairly pulses with the fresh, vigorous ac
tive life of the young west. 1t has love
story and it has a relief work of ripe and
unctuous humor. That Arizona will be
richly staged and eXcellently well acted Is
guaranteed by the names of the clever ac-
tors which Mr. Thomas has chosen for the
principal roles of the play. The scenes of
acts one and four, "Canby's Ranch near
Fort Grant in the Aravaipa valley were
painted by Walter Burridge from sketches
especially made for him in Arizona. The
drawing room at Fort Grant act two and
the dining room at Canby's Ranch were
painted by John Faust from actual rooms
at the ranch and military post. The deco
rauons, costumes and accouterments were
all chosen and arranged by that eminent

Mr. Moore has been studying Ireland
closely of late. and the result of his obser-
vatons Is in part this volume of stories.
connected only by the general source of the
inspiration. and in no sense continuous He
calls the collection THE Untitled Field
because he regards Ireland as neglected by
the seekers after high literary inspira ton.
There is hint that he believes that the re-
-1ations between the people and the clergy
of tho island have heretofore forbidden
close scrutiny and revelation. He devotes
himself more especially to this phase of
Irish life, and with a free hand seeks to
disclose certain characteristics of the par
ish priests which must eventually lead to
sharp controversy. The stories are keyed
rather high and are clothed in Mr.. Moore's
most carefully finished literary style. They
are worth reading.

New York: +. F. Dutton & Co.
Here is an odd concet, an educated En-
glshman content to sit through life
roadmender, a breaker of stones, to the end
that the ways of others may be smoother.
Thus environed the philosophical soul of
the hammer wielder is free to soar far be-
yond the limits of the fields which encom-
pass his position. From the road he draws
a fund of human entertainment. He is in
touch with the great drama. and OCCASION
ally sees a flash of some of its action. But
he chiefly learns of the sad phases of life.
The hating pilgrim on his way to the poor
house, the aged peasant carrying his pet
pig to market that his wife may have nour-
ishins food in her illness. these are types
of the great poverty which stalks upon the
highway. There are softer touches, of
course, and evidences of the deep sweetness
or these extstences. as well as the deep
sorrows The three sketches which form
the small volume are rich with fine thought
and suggestiveness They evidence IN
innate familiarity with the classics and a
desire for higher expression. The thought
full reader will find them helpful. The lover
of action and incident will not care for
them.
