The "Rajali"—Sketeh of the Plot.
That brilliant and diverting comedy, "The
Rajah," which has had such a long and prosper
out career at the New York Madison Square the--
Rter (whereat was given for 150 nights), will be'
eeen at the Grand Opera house, commencing
this evening. -
"The Rajah" embodies | all that is bright and
Sparkling, with a few pathetic touches, and novel
■cenie display. The famous home theater com
pany will appear the play in this city. There
is every indication that "The Rajah" will attract
a large and elegant audience.
The story of the play Is given herewith:
An English country gentleman dies, leaving by
trill an estate to his nephew, Harold Wyncot, and
making him guardian -of Gladys • Wyncott, his
cousin, whom he has never seen. ' Harold, by
reason of his indolent and luxurious lire in India,
■ has gained among his brother officers the soubri
quet of "The Rajah." ■On his arrival in England
he meets with a frigid reception from Gladys,
who has formed an antipathy to him because of a
letter describing his indolent life. Presently a
number of coal miners employed on the estate,
being on the point of a strike, come to make de- |
mands. Cragin, their leader, refuses to ilaniove i
his hat when requested to do so by Harojil, and i
he snatches it from his head, dashes it,to the
ground, and quietly walks away, leaving"them
stricken with amazement. In the next act wo
find that Harold raises the wages of the strikers,
hut Insists that Cragin shall be immediately dis
charged instead of being made overseer as de
manded. In the third act a gang of . rioters, led
by Crazin. ore approaching to wreak
vengeance on Harold. when he
confronts them alone, and, being
assured by them that they want Crngin for an
overseer, he produces a handbill, and reads a de
scription of an escaped convict which tallies with
that of Cragin, who rushes upon Harold, but the
latter hurls him to the ground, and, tearing aside
his shirt, exposes the convict brand upon. his j
ehoulder. In the last act another will is discov- j
ered, which gives the property to Gladys, and |
Harold turns over the property and announces ■
his intention to return to India. Gladys, left '
alone, is confronted by Cragin who, pistol in 1
hand, has come to wreak vengeance on Harold. j
She offers him money and jewels to desist, but
be remains obdurate. Finally she promises him
a letter, signed by Harold,, giving him free pass
age on an out-going coal ship, which will enable
him to evade the law. This prevails, and Cragin
conceals himself. Gladys calls Harold, and he
writes the letter in a state of mystification, but,
before she can hand it to Cragin, he springs to
wards the hiding place. 'Cragin comes forward,
esying: "There is one here braver and stronger
than you, and she says let the convict go." Har
old hands over the letter. The convict becomes j
pathetic, tells the story of his life, and winds up
with, "You draws your own moral." Harold
ejaculates: "And what moral, Gladys, shall we
draw?" She throws the new will into the grate, j
rushes to his arms, and Harold announces to the
others as they enter that he has received ft new
appointment— of "guardian for life."
Shakespeare Set to Music.
It is curious as well as interesting to observe
the influence which the Shakespearean drama I
has exercised upon the lyric stage. About a |
dozen of the principal plays have already fur- i
nished librettos for as many leading musical !
Somposers. Mendelssohn has written music to
the Midsummer Night's Dream, and Carl Maria
Ton Weber has put it into the form of an opera
tinder the title of Oberon, and that, too, when suf- |
eringthe agonies of sickness and poverty, writing j
for bread. Rossini has left Othello among his
operas, and Verdi had given us Macbeth. Am
brose Thomas has written Hamlet, and Camille.
St. Saens had recently produced, with great suc
cess, in Paris, Henry VIII. Richard 111 has been I
set to music by Salvyre, and Romeo aud Juliet, I
by Chas. Gounod. The Marquis d"lvry has also
produced the latter under the title of The Lovers
of Verona. The Merry Wives of Windsor by I
Nicolai, and The Taming of the Shrew, by
Goetze, have both been successes. The musical
world is now looking forward with great interest
to the latest Shakespearean addition to the lyric
drama.
It has been known for years that the distin
guished author of Aida, Signor Verdi, was en- j
gaged upon the libretto of a grand opera, found
ed upon Shakespeare's tragedy of »Othello, and
the latest advices from Italy convey the gratify
ing information that he has at last put the fin
ishing touches to the musical score, and that
lago is now ready for public representation. Hews

. The Oratorio of the Messiah.
The beautiful and difficult composition,
the Messiah, by the famous composer Handel,'
which has been under rehearsal by the St.
Paul Choral society for some weeks past, will
be given at Market hall under the direction
of Signor A. Jannotta, next Thursday even
ing. Among the productions of recent
times the oratorio has gained a world wide
celebrity as being replete with musical effect
and the most sublime harmony. It will be
presented by an orchestra of forty musicians
and 250 skilled vocalists, the ensemble com
prising many singers of individual note. Re

ANTI-POOL
A League of Merchants Against Rail
way Pooling 1 Discriminations.
New York, Special, May 23.—This after
noon seventy-four representative business
men of New York, representing the Traders'
& Travelers' union (co-operative), held a
meeting in the National Citizens' bank
building on Broadway. The charter of this
union has been subscribed to by thirty differ
ent business interests, and represents $350,
--000,000 worth of capital. "Not a man or a
firm on there, gentlemen," said an enthus
iastic promoter of the new enterprise as he
ran his eye down the list, "but does an an- |
nual business of more than 51,000,000, and
some of them do between 8-0,000,000 and
$40,000,000." This union was referred to in
these dispatches last night, and has been
formed by merchants to oppose oppressive
discriminations made against them by the j
railroads, the telegraph companies and the
express companies. Four merchants have
been quietly at work for a year planning the
matter. Everything has been done secreth",
and no word of it has reached the public or
the newspapers.
The meeting to-day was devoted to discuss
ing the subject, aud representative men
gave instances of the manner in which the
railroad freight pool discriminates against
New York merchants.
A wholesale cotton dealer said: •'Freight
shipped from the mills in the east can be
sent through to the west and south cheaper
than we can send it from this city, though it
must pass through here on the journey.
AVestern merchants can buy eastern goods
cheeper in Chicago than they can buy them
here. The difference in freight alone is profit
on the goods."
Other instances were quoted in aiffercnt
lines of business, and it was agreed that the
only way to fight the monoply was work in
nnison.
"The railroads tell us," said one speaker,
"that if we will not let them ship our goods
under their pool arrangement, but insist on
sending them over the roads we wish to, they
will carry them only to the extent of the par
ticular line named in the bill and we must
have men to make the transfer at all chang
ing points. Very well, we will do that, if
necessary. We are thoroughly in earnest in
the matter."
The merchants discussed other imposi
tions on them and their commercial agents
by railroad and express companies andWr-r
--charges in telegraph rates, and then adopted
a report setting fourth at length the steps al
ready taken aud the purpose of the organiza
tion. Officers were elected.
From all that could be learned by talking
with the members of the organization, it is
designed to break up the existing freight pool
system, unless some arrangement is made
to give manufacturers and merchants in this
city the same previleges enjoyed by others at
non-competing points.
"I do not think there will be any difficulty
in agreeing upon a plan," said Mr. Abel
Crook, "if Mr. Fink will meet our board of
directors and talk the matter over. He
might have to abandon some of the tenets;
but then he ought to abandon them. It is
simply a question between the railroads and
the men who furnish them with their busi
ness."
"But suppose the roads in the pool decline
to treat with you, what can you do?"
"I will answer that suppesition by suppos
ing something else. Suppose that we all
agree to send our freight over one road,
would that road find it for its iuteref ts to re
main in the pool? What is to hinder Mr.
Vanderbilt from sending all we give him
through to the west or the south in spite of i
the pool if he chooses to? He has all his !
connections."
"Does Mr. Vanderbilt know of this move- !
ment?"
"I do not think he does. We have not
consulted with railroad people, though I
think Commissioner Fink has heard of it. I
Mr. Vanderbilt will hear of it, though."
"How many firms besides the ineorpora- i
tors have expressed a desire to join you£"
"I should say at least 400. It is the firsr !
movement of the kind ever started in this j
country, but it is well started. We have not J
decided yet how many outsiders will be ad
mitted, but fair play will be shown them."
"What are your plans as regards telegraph
and express companies?"
"I am not at liberty to tell >ou any more
at present. Our plans will unfold themselves
as we go along. The freight pool is not all
we hare to fight against."
•'How soon do you expect to begin work?"
"We have some more details to arrange
yet. I think we shall be ready for the fall
trade."
A merchant discussing the delays caused
by distributing the freight among; the roads
in the pool, said: "I have shipped goods to
Chicago which should have been delivered
in five days, and they were on the road
twenty-one days. On whom are we to fix !
the responsibility for the delay! It is impos- :
sible to do it. If the goods are lost we can, I
with a great deal of trouble, trace them up |
and recover damages, but we can't get any j
compensation for delays."
So far as the complaint against the freight j
pool is concerned, Commissioner Fink said: I
"In a few cases we have been told of goods I
delayed by sending them over other roads than •
the shippers intended. But under the contract
we have a right to send freight marked for a
particular road over any other road in the
pool when it shall be considered necessary, i
This is always specified in the bills of hiding.
Of course we are responsible for any delay
or pecuniary loss incurred thereby. I think,
however, that fully 90 per cent, of the
freight shipped on our roads goes over the
lines for which it is marked. In some cases I
His necessary to send it otherwise, and un
doubtedly the business men have a perfect
right to combine and find a remedy for it if
they can."

. St. James Journal: . The tool and work
house on the St. James farm was - burned
about 3 o'clock Friday morning. ■. It was
quite a large ;• building and made ;a ? good
blaze, but burned down in a short time. The
building contained all the tools of the farm
machinery parts and repairs, and a new hay
loader recently purchased but never used,
costing over $100. The loss on building
and contents is fully $1,000. There had
been no fire in the building for several
weeks, and the probabilities are that tramp 3
took possession for the night and either by
accident or with intent set fire to the prem

New Furniture Factory.
We have reliable Information that Messrs.
Colsou and Jackson, two geutlemen who
have looked the ground over thoroughly,have
decided to open here as soon as possible an
establishment for the manufacture of furni
ture on a large scale. These gentlemen have
unquestionable financial standing, and in
this business they should succeed. For
some time they have been contemplating
the renting of the north half of Mr. Mea
ghcr's brick block,now in course of erection.
Mr. Meagher has not yet leased this building
but thinks that the transaction will be con
summated this week.
It has been a wor der to our people for
some time that another furniture manufac
tory has not been started. The factory and
shops operated by Mr. Klein are doing an
immense business, and there is no reason to
believe that a second institution of this kind
should not live and flourish here. Much
furniture is shipped here from abroad, and
this with the material all here can as well be
manufactured here as in any other city in the
west.

feet per week. S. C. Hall, of Muskegon,

' . The G. A. 11. Sermons.
The sermons to the posts of tlie G. A. E.
on the Sunday preceding Decoration day of
course attracted considerable attention yes
terday. The L. :P. Plummer, and C. C.
Washburn posts attended the Thirteenth ave
nue M. E. \ church in a body. A large
congregation was present, and Rev. Starkey,
of Company D, Fifteenth Wisconsin volun
teers, who preached, delivered an interesting
address, in which the significance of the oc
casion was prominently set forth.' The Geo.
N. Morgan post attended service at the First
Methodist church ', where .the annual sermon
was delivered by the pastor. The church was
filled to its utmost capacity: The music for
the occasion was an especial feature, the fol
lowing selections being rendered: "I Have
Set a, Watchman Upon Thy Walls," by Kirk
patrick; "The Call of the Roll on High," by
M. Granchom; "Honor to the Soldiers," by
Gounod. ;
The Dana Concert.
■ For some reason, the Sunday concert in
Turner hall failed to draw largely yesterday.
And it is singular because Prof. Danz's or
chestra invariably gives the most delightful
concerts. Each number in yesterday's pro
gramme had its especial charm, and the exe
cution was exquisite.
Two very amusing and entertaining novel
ties were introduced. The first was a selec
tion by Paudert, in the score of which came
a "tick tack" | feature not easily - described,
and which was new to the entire audience,
and called forth enthusiastic applause. .The
The "tick tack" was effected by beating cer
tain measures on the back of the violin and
the tapping with a little iron i on the side of
the music rack. The feature of the concert
was the "rendition :of the "Irish Patiol" a
superb composition. It was executed with
excellent effect. .

Durham is historic. It was neutral around
during the armistice between Sherman and
Johnson. Soldiers of both armies filled
their pouches with the tobacco stored there,
and, after the surrender, marched home

North and South, for "more of that elegant
tobacco." Then, ten men ran an unknown
factory. Now it employs 800 men, uses the
pink and pick of the Golden Belt, and the
