The comedy opera in three acts given
at the Grand Opera House Thursday
evening called out an unusually large
house. That the majority of those
present enjoyed the presentation goes
without saying, when it is known
that there were several encoreS, and
the applause at different times was
long and incessant. Miss Emma A.
DeBold, as Fritize Cook, and Mr.. O.
ID. JeancOn as Jimmie Bluff, were
very good, but their support was poor.
There is a great deal of room in the
chorus work for improvement, but
taken on the whole the evening was
pleasantly spent.

The elegant new Menier home on the
corner of Eighth and Baker streets
has been completed. This one is a
two story building of about fourteen
rooms, with all the latest improve
ments and conveniences. The house
is frame structure, with a solid stone
foundation, and is finished through
out in birch. The carpenter work on
this building was done by Contractor
Louis Schroeder and his crew of
assistants. The mason work was done
by Fritz Lauger, and the plastering
by George Moulton. The painting
and decorating was the hand work of
f. S. Gill and his assistants.
This corner is now one of the finest
resident corners in this section of the
city. The surroundings are in the
course of Improvement, and the new
cement sidewalks constructed by NJ
Peterson add very much to the beauty
of the corner.

New Corn. Old Fields.

The Old World is kept staring now
adays by this countrys constant ae-
tivity-meddling it would sGy-in af-
fairs of import. The Old World re-
fleets that the young nation across
the seas has not been won't frequently
TO concern itself with matters outside
its own hemisphere, and there is a
steady struggle abroad, though per-
haps a waning one, to vi lerstand
the seeming change in conditions.
Truth is, the wonder is not wholly
a foreign product. There are many
persons here at home, some of whom
have attained seats in the Senate,
who ponder the same vexed problem.
Every extraterritorial activity on
the part of this Government raises
in their minds. with an inflexible
centainty, the one question: What
have we to do with it?" And to that
question these persons return always
the one answer: Nothing at all.
Really, however. there is no prob
lem TO pom der. The fault is with
themselves. They are afflicted with
a mental astigmatism that prevents
them being able to see over the gar
den wall. This Government was
never handicapped in that fashion,
and since its founding has possessed
an eye quite clear to its own inter
ests. Quite sensitive, also, 20 the
fact when these interests we're being
invaded The interests have increased
in number and magnitude. it is true,
and the clear eye and the strong
arm behind IL have more TO do; but
that tells the whole story.
This very matter of Morocco, for
example, over which much ink and

And We object TO paying tribute

extent of identifying France or Ger

is an even chance we shall be asked
