'Graustark' at the Opera House.

In the play of Graustark az pre-
sented last Monday night the peo
pie OF the city of Franklin wer,
treated to an entertainment tina
will long be remembered. OF tn,
play itself nothing need be sale
as 1t is one that the theatre.goinp
pubic for a very considerable ex.
tent is thoroughly familiar with
VI the manner in which it was rem
dered We feel that enough can.
not be said.
In the character of the Princess
Miss Janet Waldorf, was superb,
surprising, we might be bold to
say, any performer appearing be-
fore a Franklin audience in mapy
years. Miss Aiene Durano as
the Countess was the impersona.
ton OF sweetness and vivacity.
MISS Louise Huff, the little pea
SAINT maid, We don't think could
have been improved upon, petite,
pretty and full of life. Mr.. Henry
King, as Mr.. Grenfall Lorry, was
very strong and filled the bill, we
think to perfection. AS a matter
OF fact there was not a single
weak mem Der in the whole caste,
and We think that if our fellow
citizens, Messrs Lauve and Bodin
can continue to furnish their pa
irons with such high class per.
formances that they need have no
fear Of a lack of patronage.
The attendance last Monday
while fair, was not what it should
have been nor what it would have
been had it not been that a great
number of our theatre-goers were
away at the time attending the Car.
nivalin New Orleans. If it could
be known in advance that future
show in the town of Franklin was
to be staged by by Messrs. Baker
and Castle who presented Grau-
stark, it viii! be certain that fact
alone will insure for them a capa-
city house.

The strangest experience during
the entire trip was at San Martin ISL
and, about 100 miles south of Ense-
NADIA. Here we anchored to explore
the island which is of volcanic forma-
ton, the center being a large crater
more than fifty feet deep. After
searching for specimens we rowed in
to little cove and fished, catching
many bass and whitefish. When the
fish were fried we found that it was
impossible to eat them, the meat tast-
ing like that of quinine. We tried
fishing in several other places near
the island with the same result. We
preserved specimens of the fish and
will send them to the department of
biology at Washington.
"At COrnett bay, about 100 miles
south of Ensenada, we found sports

and swept clean of everything porta-

The probability that there will be
need of other inland search parties
and rescue expeditions makes officers
here anxious that the Buford should
carry 100 or more armed men, as well
as provisions and a full hospital equip
ment. No such orders have yet been
received.
San Diego will be the first stop on
the California coast made by the Bu-
ford, Topolobampo the first Mexican
stop and Salina Cruz the last and
southernmost At San Diego Claude
E. Guyant, an agent of the state de-
partment, will be taken on board.
At each port of call the Buford will
receive orders where to make the
next stop. The itinerary is thus ten
tative, but as at present laid down, it
follows, in the order of the ports
named:
San Diego, Topolobampo, Altata
