.OL|VETTE SCORES
SPLENDID SUCCESS
TWO LARGE AUDIENCES HEAR
OPERA FRIDAY AND SATuR-
DAY NIGHTS.

Not only the most pretentious bu
the best performance ever given il
Wallowa county is the unanimous
opinion of all who saw the operf
Olivette. Two large audiences re
warded the splendid work of tho
singers, and the enterprise of the
opera house management. On Sat
urday night nearly every seat wa;
taken, many who were present Fri
day night coming again because
they enjoyed the performance sc
much. A large number of Joseph
Lostine, Alder Slope and Prairie
Creek residents attended.
Not only was the singing fine OF
both principals and chorus, but the
acting was of high class, fully equal
to professional performances in large
cities. Credit is due to both Prof
Boyer and the members of the
cast, one and all, for there was not
a flaw to be found.
The beautiful voices of Miss
Browning and Mr.. Pratt justified
the largest measure of local pride
Miss Bryan was charming Olivette
while Mr.. Streeter simply outdid
himself as Captain De Merrimac
Mr.. Boyer was a most satisfactory
Captain of the Guards, and Mr.. Mil

of the existence OF Archibald Henry
BlouIt through a letter which he seht

names OF the trustees or IL possible

contemplated drawing Will in which
Yale would be remembered.
The names OF the trustees were for
warded 10 the Junior Athenaeum club
and within a few days the Yale Off
Gals received copy OF Mr. Blount' .
Will bequeathing the bulk OF his es-
tate which was then estimated at
$3.50, 600 TO the university. In this In
strument several London hospitals
were also named as beneficiaries for
substantial amounts.
Nothing more was heard OF Mr.
Blount BY Yale until the first OF June.

ing was received at New Haven. Ia
this document the requests TO the
London hospitals were eliminated and
all the property, consisting OF shares
and some real estate was bequeathed
with the exception OF a few minor
personal legacIes, 10 the university.
