All is now in readiness. Principals
and chorus are waiting, the audience is
assured and all seems promising for
a huge success.
The story of THE Mascot is a par
ticularly clever one and it is easy to
follow, which, in itself is great ad-
vantage over some other present day
comic operas whose plots are exceed
ingly hard to find.
The first scene opens in Rocco's

peasants and farm hands celebrating
the close of the vintage season. Rocco

eggs, and his turkey-keeper Bettina

This greatly upsets Rocco until Lo-

from him, orders him to be hanged.

MARAMA's CAPTAIN
CALLED AGENTS

The captain of the Mariana cabled
leaving Victoria Tuesday, that he
would make an effort to reach Homo
lulu Monday evening. Should the
steamer arrive before nine p. M she
will be locked. But if for any reason
it be after that hour when she gets
into the harbor the doctors will not
board her and she will remain outside
until morning. This rule is known to
the officers of steamers coming here
and it is not likely the captain will
take chance of getting into the har-
Dor after the curfew has sounded
There is a suspicion that Kubelik
will use all of his influence and will
get the influence of everyone on the
steamer to have the firemen throw on
more fuel and bring the good ship into
port so there will be no hurry and the
concert may be given Monday night
with comfort to all concerned. At his
farewell concert at the Hippodrome,
New York, on Sunday April II, Kube-
Xix appeared before an audience which
paid $1,000 for the privilege of hearing
him. Assisting him was the famous
New York Symphony orchestra led by
Walter Damrosch. Kubelik played on
that occasion Mozart's D major concer-
to, Wieniawaski's fantasia on Faust"
"a Paganini transcription for the G
string on Rossini's Noise" and Bazzi
mis- "Ronde des Lutins.'' The recep-
ton accorded him amounted to an ova-
ton and he responded several times to
encores. In this respect Kube1ik is
said to be an exception to the general
rule of great artists. He wins his au-
dience and gives them what they
crave: good music and a good return
for their money. Seats for the concert
to be given here are on sale at Wall,
Nichols Co. Mr.. Adams requests that
all persons who have had tickets laid
aside call for them not later than Sat
urday noon. The demand for them is
increasing and he desires to know
what seats viii be available.

It is stated that the members Of

LEPER ESCAPES
FROM HER PRISON
MRS. WARDWELL ELUDEs KEEP
Frs AT TOMBSTONE, ARlz.

Tombstone, Ariz., Aug. 19.-Another
sensational feature developed in the
Wardwell leper case today, when 1t
was learned that Mrs. Wardwell, the
quarantined leper, had escaped from
her quarters and her present where.
abouts are unknown.
Developments indicate that the wo-
mar escaped about midnight last night
and is presumed to have boarded a
Southern Pacific train bound for Cal
ifornia, heavily yelled to hide the UNI
mistakenly leprosy marks and to pre-
vent CONSERVATION on the train should
her identity become known. The Ari..
iona authorities have been much en-
.barrassed in the handling Of the case,
the government refusing to deport her
to the leprosy colony and there is no
territorial law providing for the care
of such cases.
Plans have been openly discussed
and since the authorities have not
been active in experimenting her since
the escape, it ID believed that friends
have rendered financial aid to further
her escape.
Mrs. Wardwell also suffers from a
peculiar dementia and refuses to be-
lieve that her husband is dead, and
has frequently expressed a desire to
