7 - Very Excellent Rehearsal a Brilliant
 Forerunner.
 For the first time in two years Ed- ward E. Rice will, this evening at the Hyperion theater, present to the theat- Irical lovers of the country an entirely new offering on the lines Of comic |opera, "Mr Wix of Wickhanl." The final dress reheadsal held last evening at the Hyperion was agreeably smooth
 It is unfair to judge of the merits of a production prior to the formal pre- |sentation, but there was every evidence last night that MT. Wix of Wickhan' will be one of the best hits of the sea- |son. It certainly bears all the ear marks of being the greatest play which MT. Rice has produced since his advent into the theatrical world. There is a decided originality about the entire piece which refreshes the auditor and presents to him situations of marvellous beauty and symmetry which will not only appeal to his finer senslbilities, but will bring forth an undoubted enthu- siasm.
 The excellence of the soloists, the lstrong and we'll balanced chorus with their bright fetching songs and dances. together with the beautiful ensemble work and the brilliant scenic and spec tacular effects, combine to make MT. Wix of Wickham" 8. production which seems destined for 8 long season of popularity.

DR. ]. D. RIGGS.
(Cnn1mllnicatadl

The many friends of Dr. J. D. Riggs will learn with sincere regret of his |decease, All will feel that they have met with a loss hard to restored. Those |of his most intimate personal friends and professional patrons will feel this most. A truer friend in all his rela- tions, business and social, seldom passes on to meet the reward for long, true, honest Christian life For fifty years he has quietly, faithfully and unseIfish- |ly worked in his profession, always in the interests of his patrons. To this, a long list, who have fortunately enjoy ed his Judgment skill and advice, will instantly coincide For nearly fifty years the writer has enjoyed an intimate business and social acquaintance with him, and in all these years not the slightest instance of regret for such ac- qaintanceship has ever occurred. We know his record, as true and perfect as "a human life can be. He has passed on worthy of his happy reward and needs no word of compliment from us, whom he has left behind. All will miss him. Those near and very dear at home, more and more, but cannot mourn his absence. They know all is well.

A STOLEN CAMEL.

Mark Twain's stolen white elephant has now been paralleled even more exactly than by the recent legend of a lost, stolen or strayed Southwestern engine.
 Two camels, it is recorded, destined for exhibition in Paris, arrived there from Algeria the other day in charge of an Arab, and were housed in a Istable for the night. But in the morn ing they were gone, and the Arab boy
 with them, leaving no clue but the fact
 that hey and two men in fezzes had been seen crossing a certain bridge. For a whole day the search was con- tinued, but not until night were the camels met strolling around the town, with no one in charge, for all the world like two personally conducted British tourists who had managed to dodge their keeper. The Arabs brother-in- law, it appears, had got drunk and vainly tried to sell them on his own account. How they managed to elude direction during the day is a smaller mystery than what market 1t was the Ibrother-in-law hoped to find. London

THE COST OF A NATIONAL CAM
 PAIGN.

While it is said to have cost only two
 hundred thousand dollars to elect Abra- ham Lincoln in 1864, four times that lsum was spent in the Hayes-T -Tilden campaign of 1876, while in 1888, with tariff as the issue, two million dollars was said to have been used by both sides. and the figures have mounted upward since in some of the dater cam Ipaigns. It might not be without inter- | est at the outset, therefore, to dwell upon some of the items which go to make up these expenditures, and to consider first what is caled by some | the Legitimate campaign expenses.
 The cost of maintaining pational head quarters, with it's army of employees ranging from forty to one hundred men E and women, has been estimated to be about three thousand dollars q day.
 There are stump speakers who receive one hundred dollars week and ex- Ipenses. The distribution of single speech in printed form has cost as much as five thousand dollars, and there have been campaigns when twen- | ty of such speeches have been delivered and circulated. New York and other cities have had torchlight processions
 costing as much as twelve thousand dollars, while three thousand more has lbeen expended on a single mass meet ling for the music, decorations, and hire Eof the hall. But these are only the
 minor items of disbursements. ,l The
 heavy ones are made out of what is known as secret or emergency fund.
 Both sides are continually drawing
 from it, and usually exhaust it on the
 eve of election. The fund is used to
 turn the tide in states that are consid- lered doubtful, especially those on which 1.-the general result hinges.-Edward
 Lissner, in Harper's Weekly. .e
