Free Rides For Brides.

The Canadian Pacific railway has q
neat scheme for promoting matri.
mony. It sells round trip tickets to
settlers in the Northwest who wish to
make . journey in search Of . wife.
II the wayisring man succeeds in his
quest. he presents the return coupon
with his marriage certificate and gets
Tree transportation back home for the
bride. Our congress, in making
passes illegal by the railway law just
enscted, doubtless overlooked the
chance for . fine and statesmAnlike
stroke, which, however, can be incor.
porated in the law by an amendment
at the next session, says the Tacoma
Ledger. A provision making mar.
rage certificates everywhere exchange.
able for free railway trip for bride.
will doubtless greatly popularise mat.
rimony among the ladies. But then
it isn't the ladies that need to be
encouraged.

ADJUSTMENTS
Very Good Except the Singing.

Well, if that is first-class comic
opera may the good Lord deliver US.
AS far as the crinoline and the pante-
lettes and the insipid words of the
alleged plot went, it was good and
clean and proper, but the singing was
more like that usually heard at an
amateur church entertainment than
what would be expected from a preten-
tious opera company widely heralded
as having some of the best voices in
the world The girls were all pretty
and dainty, but they could not sing
half as we'll as many school girls in
Walla Walla.
However, the entertainment probably
pleased the majority of the audience.
The majority were society people and
if Portland or Spokane society says
that a certain show is good, Walla
Walla society must say amen. Man
ager Catron believes in suiting all
tastes in choosing attractions for the
Keylor Grand, and in selecting when
Johnny Comes Marching Home" he un
doubtedly pleased a large number who
could see nothing good in the Roscian
Opera company last week, because it
charged only half the usual price and
seemed to win the hearts of the COM
mon herd.
However, some of the best musicians
in the city were heard to say last
night that as musical production
Comes Marching Home and that for
real, genuine music, mirth and melody,
as we'll as clever acting, it would not
compare for minute with the Roscian
Opera company.
The only good male voice in the
troupe is that of Father Carleton, and
the only girl that can sing little bit
is Gertrude Vaughn, whose voice is
sweet, but too weak for anything but
parlor entertainments.
The musical repertoire of the COM
pany seems very limited. The only
patriotic songs the chorus had in re-
Spouse to encores were MY Maryland''
and Yankee Doodle" and the best
Uncle Toms black artists could do was
to sing over and over again one stance
Of "Honeysuckle Dove"
But the majority seemed pleased, and
if they feel that they got their moneys
worth, no one else need complain.
