Opera House.

No period in the romantic-like history
Of Mexico is more interesting than the
short and brilliant reign and meteor-like
fall of the Emperor Macmillan. 1t is
during this period that the story of "a
ROYAL Slave" is laid. The leading char
acters are of the proud old Castilian
stock of the arstOcratic families of Mex
leo, and the Royal Slave himself, FL
Aguila (The Eagle is the last descendant
of the Montezumas, the ancient Aztec
kings, but himself a Peon, or slave, of
the family Daore. His is a splendid life
picture of a race now scarcely more than
a memory, and is a strange combination
of kingly majesty, gentle tenderness and
lion like ferceness-a splendid barba
rian. This play was produced at the
Opera House this afternoon and will be
repeated tonight.
The contest for the two reserved seats,
to be given to those forming the
largest number Of words out of "Royal
slave" was spirited. The winners are

The Old and New Year.

There was Joy in the air last night,
and the streets we're thronged with people
ninth some time after midnight. The
weather was clear and mild, and condi'
tions were favorable for the hilarity into
which many entered. The watch meet
ings in different churches were well at
tended. and clubs and other organizations
entertained their friends. Many private
residences were Illuminated and the best
of cheer was apparent. AS the hour Oh
midnight drew near there was consider
able animation in the streets. Inc
bells finally began to toll and when
the town clock began TO strike and 1t was
known the old year was gone ana It's
succes sor on the scene there was an
instant fusilade of shrieking whistles,
ringing of bells, and ascent of rockets,
while meteors which shot from roman
candles and Examinations from colored
lights mede agreeable scenes. These
were continued for about half an hour
before they finally subsidized. The
weather today has been all that could
have been desired, and as partial holl-
day was observed, there were many So
cial calls and happy experiences. The
streets today have presented lively APP
pearance. Many strangers were in the
CITY and the electric cars have carried
large numbers of people to Mount Yer
non. The mild temperature and clear
sky brought many youngsters into the
street, and they enjoyed their Christmas
TOYS to their hearts content. Numbers
of bicyclists avalled themselves of the
opportunity to take spins through thu
city and on the roads northwest Of thu
city.
