Grand Opera House.

The patrons of the Grand Opera house were afforded another opportunity last might to witness splendid comedy drama, "Only a Shop Girl,' and pre- sented by a most capable and excellent ly balanced company
 This play is strongly American and deals with the life and hopes of true, |proud and pure American girl, who, though once living in aff1uence has be- come almost an outcast by financial re- verses. Her father was at one time a man of influence and a very respected man of the community, but his losses land later demise brought a set of pe- culiar circumstances which reduced the beautiful young girl to poverty, and threw her upon her own resources. She makes a brave battle for life and sus- tenance, and to keep from the snare |of the tempter. Her beauty wins for her an ardent love in the bosom of a wealthy young man and he asks her to be his wife. She has about consented when father appears on the scene, ac- Icompanied by a rich and designing woman. This woman has poisoned the mind of the young mans father and the latter threatens disinheritance if he does not give up the girl. This is as sented to temporarily and the young girl ret,.rns to work in department store, from which she has been dis charged, simply because of the false complaints of this designing woman. Her murder, by being crushed by an elevator in the Store, is .tfwarted by 1 the timely arrival of an urchin who be- friended her when a wanderer on the streets. Another devilish plot is dis covered and turned to the undoing of I the woman in the case, who is finally l tracked down and properly punished ] for her misdeeds. Her enmity is occa- stoned by her love for the young man who loves this shop girl. The play is freplete with interesting and laughable situations and greatly enlivened by chorus singing, dances and specialties.
 Miss Lottie Williams. the queen of comedy drama, is a bunch of activity, and is ubiquitous young woman, at the right place at the right time. She is ably seconded by Bobby Barry, who as "Kid, is a great success in the com- edy line.
 The piece, "Only Shop Girl" will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night with matinee Saturday.

nitz was not a professor: he even refus-
ed emphatically 10 enter ON u univer-

had considerable Interest for him. He
conceived Of an education much vaster
than that OF the universities. His doc
trine OF science led him 10 believe that
everything can be taught. including
happiness. He was veritably possessed
with a zeal for the public good. and, ac-
cording To his view. the happiness OF
humanity depends on the progress OF
the sciences. Happiness. he believed.
consists Of three things perfection OF
the soul. health Of the body and the
commodities of life. Perfection Of the
soul Is obtained through science. which
teaches us what we are and what we
ought to do and IL the base OF rational
ethics: health of the body is also OBJ
tained through science. for medicine

] had the opportunity of seeing a
young widow burn herself by the side
of her deceased husband The funeral
pile was about ten feet high. In the
middle of the pile lay her deceased hus-
band. an old and miserable looking
man. Tie devoted victim was a young
creature about seventeen, dressed in
white, with all her jewels ON. There
was confused noise of singing and
shouting. intermixed with the sound of
tomtoms and at intervals the hollow
and sonorous sound of gongs and trum-
pets. The priests and her friends crowd
ed round her. all speaking to hee 1t

ton and to prevent her shrinking at fhe
last moment from sacrificing herself.

She then stepped into the water. di-
vested herself of her clothes of pure
white AMI replaced them with clothes
of a yellow color. She then performed
her ablutioTs. came out of the water
and unasssted walked three times
round the pile. followed by the priests
and her friends. who at this period ap-
peared 10 be more urgent and loud in
their discourse to her to distract her
attention She then. unassisted mounted
the pile. laid herself down by the side
of her husband and put his head under
her arm. turning herself toward him.
Then they sprinkled large quantities
of oil and straw on the pile. The IA
