Boston Ideal Opera Co.

s'Girofle- -GiraAa" made decid-
ed hit as given by the Boston
Ideal Opera Co. last night. The
audience was in a humor to be
pleased, and the general applause
warmed the players to their best
efforts. The we'll knogn and
melodious "Champagne song,'
the gem of the opera, was most
effectively sung by Miss Elenor
Burton, and though she was mod
estly inclined to refuse the en-
core, the audience insisted, and
she repeated it. The ensemble
choruses at the close of the first
and second acts were also en-
cored. Miss Burton, in the double
role of "Girofle- -Girafla," added
greatly to the laurels she had al
ready won.
Jack Leslie as "Don Bolero"
was very funny. If possible, he
is funnier than on the first pre-
sentation last month.
Ed Weston, as "Marasquan,"
was in splendid voice, and f. O.
Burgess as the "Moor" added
greatly to the completeness of the
performance.
Miss Shattuck as "Aurore" left
nothing to be desired. She is al
ways artistic, and Mr.. Morton got
all that was possible-out of the
part of the pirate chief.
1t is a pleasure to say a good
word also for Miss Meredith as
"Paquita," and Miss Grace Hains
as "Pedro. Clever and dainty
actresses, as we'll as agreeable in
voice qualities, who fill subordi-
nate positions, but who may be
expected to climb higher.-Little
Rock Gazette, Aug. Il.

at Sandoz Opera House Tuesday,

Make Your Choice.

James r. Randall, the distin-
guished litterateur and poet, the
admired author of maryland, my
Maryland" thus writes in the last
number of the Catholic Colum-
bian:
"Judge Parker's speech, accept
ing the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency, exhibits him
as the antithesis Of Mr.. Roose-
welt. He stands for the ancient
faith and practices Of the found
ers of the Republic. He believes
in the Constitution and local self
government. He is an antrim
perialist. He is no military jingo
and expansionist. He is man
of peace with honor. He would
not radically disturb any economic
system, but reform abuses for a
common good. He would compel
dangerous trusts to obey the law.
No good trusts would object to
this, and bad trusts should be
made to respect authority. Essen
TALLY, Judge Parker is a safe and
wise man, which cannot be said
of Mr.. Roosevelt. We will know
next November whether major
ity of the people pretsr a Consti-
tutional Republic or an oligarchy
of wealth and centralism.
The antithesis is perfect. The
| voters should study the situation
carefully and make their choice.
The safety of the. country lies
in the election of Judge arker.

The most remarked thing about
the Boston Ideal Opera Co., next
to the superiority of the yoices
possessed by its leading singers,
is the beauty of the girls in the
chorus. For the past nine years
the chorus of this company has
had the reputation of being un-
equaled by that of any other sim
liar organization. This is not only
due to a lavish expenditure of
money, bnt to careful attention to
| detail in every particular, fol
which the manager, Mr.. NJ. A
Moseley. is noted.

The Lake Charles News makes
the strong point that of the total
school income in Calcasleu,
amounting to $68,165, the State
contributes but $11, ,164, which is
less than the parish pays into the
State School Fund. 1t thinks,
therefore, that the State should
allow the voters of Calcasieu to
elect their school directors in

a State Board of Edueation.-The
