FRENCH OPERA.

Whenever the aesthetic tastes OF the
newspaper men of New Orleans, who
act as critics at the French Opera, 10
satisfied to such an extent that they
are lavish in their praise, the perfor-
mances are unquestionably of the high.
est standard These men in the Ores.
cent City are dreaded by artists more
than those of any other city in the
United States. Well may they be for
these scribes do not spare the pen
when an artist does not come I'D to
the requirements, and like all other
communities the press there moulds
public opinion, and it is hard to figure
out the end of an inefficient singer.
The newspapers in New Orleans are
unanimous, however, in their verdict
this year that the French Opera troupe
is the best to appear at the French
Opera House in quarter of century.
| 1t is not commonly known through
Out the country that there are two pet.
formances at the French Opera House
each Sunday during the season, matt.
rec and night, at popular prices. BY
the term popular prices is meant
that the tickets Of admission range
from twenty-five cents to 81. The same
seats through the week are sold at
from fifty cents to three dollars. The
| Identical performances are sung at
the matinee as are produced through
the week. The troupe only sings on
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sun.
day nights and on Sunday afternoons.
We also remind our readers that on
account of the weekend rates on all
the railroads entering New Orleans,
one may run down and witness the
performance on Sunday afternoon, pay
his admission and it will cost him but
! little more, If as much, as it does the
person who resides in New Orleans
and visits the opera on week nights.
The bill for Saturday evening, Jan.
81, is Meyerbeer's "L'Africane";; SUM-
day, Feb. l, at the matinee, Puccini's
Madam Butterfly; Sunday night,
"The Jackson Girls" and the great
Partisan sensation the Apache Dance"
Hereafter each weeks bill will be an.
ncunced in these columns until the
close of the season, for the benefit of
those who may be in New Orleans on
Tuesday Thursday and Saturday
nights, and on Sundays.

FINDING MARKETS FOR TRUCK

Commissioner of Agriculture and I'M
migration, E. O. Bruner, and H. D.
Wilson, Dairy and Truck Demonstra-
Tor, returned Saturday evening from
Fort orth, Texas, where they went to
attend a meeting of the Commission.
|ers of Agriculture called by the Com
missioner of Texas. ss;1 :.
Commissioner Bruner said: eve
had very successful meeting, and
organized what / consider the most
important organization in the South.
1t is useless for us to preach diversif-
cation to the farmer, unless we can
help find market for his produce.
Our object among other things, is
to help him find market and to get
all that his produce is worth; we want
to keep, him posted on market condi-
lions, see that he does not ship to an
over-supplied market, but to market
that needs his produce, and to see that
he gets the highest market price, and
the very best rates On the railroads.
No doubt in my mind that the farmers
will derive much benefit from this or
ganization.
"The meeting was well attended by
farmers and shippers from all over
the South. Many topics were discuss
ed, and much light turned on. The
organization was perfected by elect
ing E. R. Kone, of Texas, president;
E. 0. Bruner, of Louisiana, vice presi-
dent; Fred w. Mally, secretary, and
H. I. Brown, of Arkansas, treasurer.
And Louisiana was, on my invitation,
selected as the next meeting place."
