The legislature has raised the
governors salary to s., 200. That's

Some country publishers are prone
to assert occasionally that "news
is scalc'," as sort of weak apology
for the lack of reading matter in
their columns. What's the use;
hustle around and find something
to print, brethren. If there's moth

will find 1t out without you telling
them so.
The Herald is the recipient of
one of Der Nordstern's fine maps

should have been acknowledged last

favors The Herald can do in return
will gladly be done.

That celebrated comic opera. THE MI
kado," about which there is so much fuss
being made In England at the present
time, last evening was given a delightful
Interpretation by the Edward F. Aibee
Comic Opera stock company az Keiths
theatre. The inimitable humour OF Gilbert
was as delicious as OF old. and OF course
the beautiful melodies OF Sullivan have
lost none OF their tunefulness. IL was a
number OF years since the last profession

best things of the evening was Hunting

naughty, sneery Pooh Bah. He had cap

character and scored a big comedy and
vocal hit. Phil Branson played the title
role with the same rich JUNCTION that he
has displayed since the Albee Comic
Opera company first came 10 Providence.

people in the audience wished he could

other members OF the cast were all ade-
