number of stereopticon views to illus

Wounds on battleship in action"

severe received in warfare. On the

thrown against the opposing ship with
terrific force. The percentage Of cas-

A NJ U S EN- e NTS.
New National.

A large audience welcomed the Aborn
Opera Company in the old favorite eel
Captain at the National Theater last
evening. and. apparently. the Sousa op-
era made famous by De Wolf Hopper
has lost none of its power of attraction.
The story Of the opera need scarcely
be related in detail. 1t concerns the
Vaccinations of a deposed viceroy of
Peru to Gust the new appointee of the
Spanish throne and regain his Office. His
plans are frustrated, however, by the
new V1ceroy, who impersOnates Ell Cap
itan, noted and bloodthirsty brigand,
and who leads the rebel forces into a

ing pardoned.
The music as rendered by the Aborns
loses none OF its appeal, especially the
FL Captain march, while many Of the
other airs. almost forgotten, were again
heard with pleasure. At the close of the
second act the 'Stars and Stripes For
ever was rendered with spectacular
stage effects

pearance in Wang" and 1.-The Mikado"
several years ago. sang the title role. In
the ridiculous guise first worn by De Wolf
Hopper he made the most of his songs
and bits of sheer buffoonery. Ada Meade
as Isabel, the vicerOy's daughter, re-
peated her success of last week. Hunt
ington May and John r. Phillips were
given an enthusiastic welcome back to
the local AbOrn forces. The former. as
Scaramba, and the latter, as Count Yer
rada, had but little opportunity to dis
play their vocal ability. but made the
most, however Of a solo and a duet re-
spectively. Sol Solomon, as Pozzo, gave
a droll rendition of that by no means
easy. roll. while Harry Llewellyn, as the
ex-viceroy, was acceptable. Carrie Rey-
nolds made charming Estreldo, appear
ing to advantage in the Zanzibar" song
and in her dances. Hattie Arnold. as the
vicerOy's wife, and Clara Martini, as
Tacciturna, handled their parts with dis
erection. The minor roles were we'll ham
