SUMUIR ClUKITI FOR CHILDREN,
A Movement That Will Become Popular, and
for Which Fund Can Be Readily Kaised.
In reterence to summer charities for sick
children, Alexander Johnson, secretary of
the Board of State Charities, said, yester
day, that nothing could he more delightful
or popular. "In our heautiful city of
homes," he continued, "with shady streets
and pleasant parks there may not be the
need that exists in crowded cities of tenement-houses
for 'the country week and
the 'fresh-air fund;' yet I have little doubt
that many sick children, and run-down,
tired-out nursing mothers with little babies
will be found to whom what is proposed
will be a gTcat boou. I had the privilege
of assisting in the organization of this kind
of charity in Cincinnati in lsS4, and I
never was connected with any cbaritv that
was po enjoyable, so easy to raise funds
for and so productive of unmixed good.
"One of our rirst and most liberal sub
scribers in Cincinnati,'7 he further said,
'was a gentloman of great wealth, with a
reputation for closeness in money matters,
whose name can seldom be seen on public
subscription lists, but whose private char
ities are numerous and liberal. He sent
for me, and after questioning me closely as
to the methods of our work, gave me a
check for $150, but refused to allow his
name to be published. The second season
he gave tho same amount. Ily the third
year the cause was so popular that he
thought we should perhaps have too much
money, so he dropped to $50. A few weeks
afterwards he sent bis full subscription
attain, with a letter, stating the anxiety
the sickness of his own babe caused him,
and the rejection that came upon him as to
the thousands of children that were then
suffering in the city with nothing to relievo
them. I have no doubt that the work only
needs to be well done and widely known to
have liberal support in Indianapolis."

SEEKING THE COOL SPOTS
The Ileat Remained Intense and Drove
Thousands Out Into tho Country.
Electric line Crowded ill Day anJ Evening--Conveyances
of Every Description Brought
Into Usc-Fopularitj of Falrvie w Fart
Those who depended on the rain of Satur
day night sepding tbe overheated atmos
phere on its way eastward were disap
pointed yesterday morning when the in
tense conditions that had prevailed for a
week were again present Breezes now and
then would invite speculation on the
weather not continuing as' bad throughout
the day as on Saturday, but it was transi
tory, and by noon tho hot atraos
phero was on with force unchanged.
The breezes of the morning made a differ
ence, though, notwithstanding thermome
fers near the surface at 7. o'clock were at
78, with the mercury creeping up nearly
every quarter of an hour. At noon the pri
vate thermometers varied according to ex
posnre, but the average was about 98u,
with an upward tendency. It was as hot
as, any day that preceded it the past week,
out there were many to say in was hotter.
The mercury went up a bit, and the after
noon was one of the moat uncomfortable of
the bot spell. Breezes were sporadic and
with scarcely enough forcoto give even
a breath of relief. The experience of a
gentleman, living on one of the quietest
and coolest oresident streets was that of
nearly everybody who remained in tho city
all day. About 7 o'clock last evening, with
as little covering as the decency of the
neighborhood would permit, he stepped
onto his vine-covered porch and took down
his thermometer.
"What is it?" cried neighbor from across
tbe street
"V nnh." was the reply. "Ninety-six
susn, a f&ii of only one degree siuco 3
0 clock. Then he retired, wiping bis brow
and 'denouncing the weather.
but bot as it was. people in throngs, were
otto be kept at home to swelter. They
sought the mule and electric cars, called
for moving vans, exhausted the livery sup
ply, put the hacks in use or went to the
country in their own carriages, phaetons,
buggies or carts. It was a great move
country wards, aud thousands were carried
by the eleetrio cars. Every motor on that
line had a trailer, loaded to the deck after
a o clock in the afternoon. As early in tbe
morning as 7 o'clock groups of
people with baskets of luncheon,
1 mt11 ,n glgo shirts, the .ladies in
white or ginghams, were waiting for tho
cars to take them to Fairview for a day in
the woods. The place, ottering many at
tractions as" a family picnic gronna, has
already become popular, and up to the mid
ale of tho afternoon was not too crowded
for privacy. With none but the family
so-oups, or young men and ladies, prome
nading, swinging in hammocks, reading
books .or the feunday papers, the spot
wore an air of quiet comfort and peace
that one can readily appreciates as being
in harmony with the day. Delicious
breezes came in under the thick bouehs
from off the great field of growing corn be
tween the park and the river, running so
quietly along at the base of the wooded
bluff opposite. The shadows of the forest
trees were so dense, tho scene so peaceful,
thai rest seemed to be drunk in with the
air.
In reaching the park tbe usual annoy
ances occurred, ot course. Tbe motors
still act badly when asked to do their test
work, and sputter away till the held, as tho
magneto is known, becomes heated or burns
out a fuse. Four heavily loaded trains
were blocked for an hour last evening by
such a mishap to a motor. The passengers,
of courtie, who bad to stand in the crowded
cars were provoked, but had to wait till the
trouble was rectified. They were near the
park, though not near enough to walk
tbore, and tbe distance was too far for
walking home. Many pronounced objurga
tions upon the motors and were much re
lieved wnen all was righted again. The cars
were no sooner unloaded at ono platform
and stopped at the receiving station than
they were packed with those anxious to go
home. 8o it went all day going and com
ing. The traffic, on the whole, was carried
with less accident and trouble than tbe
week before, and the difficulties, it is said,
will be much reduced when the motor men
come fully to understand their business
and do what is expected of them.
Tho park, peaceful as it is, needs police
surveillance. Tho frequenters yesterday
were annoyed by a gang of boys, white and
black, going in swimmiDg in the canal,
with only a rail fence to screen them from
the peonfe in tbe park. Boating parties,
with ladies, had to turn back on account of
theso youngsters. If tbo place, as it prom
ises, comes to be used as a picnio grounds
by ladies and children, a watch
man, with police powers, will constantly
be needed. The ravines and secluded
snots, most inviting for small parties, are
too remote to make them safe unless tbe
park is guarded by police.
The park, as yet, shows so change from
a state of nature, and therein lies most of
its charm. The May-apple, the sheep's
grass, and various plants of the mint va
riety, can be found there. n portions the
shade is so dense the dew is not dried off
at ti o'clock in the afternoon. Of course,
such spots are not the coolest, for tbe wind
is cut off, but there are high points where
every breeze may be caught The wild
grape-vine may be seen there, swinging
from the ground to high branches. The
park, altogether, affords a marked and re
lieving contrast with the hot confines of
tbe city, and for that reason is likely to
remain a favorite resort.
GETTING READY FOR UN VEILING.
Decorations and Other Natters Connected
with Te-Morrow'a Event.
The city is presenting an appearance of
decoration in houor of the. unveiling of the
Hendricks monument. The committee hav
ing charge of the exercises to-morrow has
made several appeals to the ouslness men,
asking that as many ilags be shown
as possible, and 6omo have complied
with the request The decorations
so far have been confined to the business
center of the city, although it is expected
private residences will follow the example
to-day. On Washington, Feunsylvania,
Illinois and Meridian streets especially,
does it seem that tho merchants have
taken a particular interest in
the approaching event. aud from
many roofs and windows hang draperies
and Hags. No special design has
been adopted, simplicity being appar
ently the main end in view. But. with
al, the city will doubtless present a gay ap
pearance to-morrow, and if tho weather is
good the llags and banners will not have
been brought out in vain.
Tho committee on entertainment held an
other meeting last night, and it is believed
that every arrangement has been made to
accommodate tho expected crowds. The
exercises at the monument will probably
not be concluded before 4 o'clock, Judge
Holman said, last night, after which no
programme has been arranged for. The
visitors will thus be allowed to leave the
city by the early trains or, if tbey no desire,
to spend tho balance of the day in see
ing the city. The majority of the
neoplo who attend the exercises will
be compelled to stand, as neat for only 1,
800 or 2.000 will bo supplied. There is ample
room surrounding the monument how
ever, to accommodate all that can get with
in hearing distance. The windows in the
high blocks near tho State-house, and in
the Capitol building itself, have all been
spoken for, and will be occupied by friends
of tho merchants and State o dicers.
The majority of the distinguished guests
will arrive to-morrow morniug, although
some are expected to-day. Governor Hill
and stall' will arrive at 10:30 o'clock this
evening. In addition to his ofiicers he will
be accompanied by Willis Holly and K. A.
Fahrelly, of New Vork. The party will oc
cupy a suite of rooms at the Bates.
Volney W. Foster, of Chicago, will arrive
this afternoon. Many distiuguifthed men
of this State, are also expected this after
noon, including Clem Studebaker, of South
Bend; J. N. Taylor, ot Marion, Hon, J. W.
Ivagndale. of Fraukliu. and others. Henry
M. Hunt, correspondent for tho United
FreH Association, Chicagc, came in last
nitrht.
The plauH in detail for the exercises have
not been fully completed, but will be an
nounced in to-morrow's dailies. Capts.
Jacob Bieler and John GeU will have
charge of tho German Veteran Association
and the artillery service. Tbe staff of the
soldiers' division and as many of the city
manuals as can are requested to report at
the Criminal Court room at 0 o'clock to
morrow morning, to escort tho visiting
veterans from the Union Station on the ar
rival of. their trains. The Sons of Veteraii
Drum Corps is requested to meet at the
court-house at the same hour.
There will be three classes of tickets is
sued for to-morrow. Those for the chorus
will admit tbe bearers to the amphitheatre
onlyi those given to the reception com
raittco for distribution will be recognized
only on the benches in front of tho plat
form, and can be had at tbe Grand Hotel, and
those admitting tbe holders to reserved
seats on the platform. The latter can be
had at Koom 3, Fletcher's bank building.
The general entrance for all ticket-holders
will be at the north side of the structure on
the east sidewalk of Tennessee street

Albany, N. y June 2D, Governor Hill

was to have left on the 1:45 v, m. tram on the
South Shore limited express, but tbat train
was overan hour late, so the Governor and:

A CHANGE FOB THE BETTER
Mexico Under Diaz Is Being Pushed Into
Close Relations withThisCountry.
The Pan-American Idea Is Encouraged Dis
turbing Elements That Are Always Canting
Rumors About Revolutions to Occur.
Gen. Herman Sturm, of this city, who
has largo interests in Mexico, has recently
returned from that country and will be at
home for a few weeks, "f wish to spoak in
the first place in regard to tbat article in
Saturday's Journal," remarked the General
to the reporter who called on him to ascer
tain his views of Mexico, "As the name of
yoqr informant was not given, I am afraid
some one may think I inspired it My ex
perience in Mexico has been entirely differ
ent from that of the gentleman who fur
nished the interview to which I refer.
This is especially true so far as the present
Mexican government Is concerned. Amer
icans have no idea of the difficulties
that tbe government of our sis
ter republic has to contend
with. 8lnce President . Diaz tool;
charge of affairs there has been a wonder
ful change for the better. It is true, also,
that he has ever been a stanch friend of
Americans aud American enterprises. His
Cabinet share his friendly and favoring
sentiments towards the people of this
country, and together with President Diaz
have been doing everything possible to en
courage American investments. Shortly
before bis re-election he visited the United
States, and he has granted many conces
sions to our people I think he has taken'
pains to encourage tho nan-American idea,
preferring trade relations with us instead
of with Europe. Some of those concessions
have not borne fruit. They were granted
in some instances to persons who were un
able or had no intention of carrying out
the agreements and contracts into which
they had entered, and tbey had got these
concessions for the purpose of speculation."
Does any blame attach to the govern
ment because, of these failurtssf" the re
porter asked,
"Some may," said the General, "bnt none
should, as the concessions or grants were
made in good faith, JL have been acquainted
with Mexican affairs since 1864, and have
been closely connected with the Liberal
party there since April, 18G5, and 1 cau say
that tbe government of President Diaz is
the best the republic ever had. Further
more, I am confident that he has no desire ,
to bo re-elected except as it has been forced
upon bim by the leading spirits of the Lib-J
erai party, and he considers it a duty he j
owes to his country to retain the position
in order that tbe progressive ideas of his
party may be carried out The suggestion .
that he desires to be a dictator is quite as '
ridicnlons as it would be to charge Presi
dent Harrison with a like ambition. Gen.i
Grant was once charged with a like desire
and upon no better grounds"
"What is tho status of the population!" '
Tbe masscsof the people arc ignorant In-:
dians, utterly unable to comprehend or ap-
fireciato the freedom conferred by the bal
ot, and if voters would be only tools In
tho hands of the enemies of the country."
"Who are tho voters!"
"The voting is confined to the better
classes those who are educated and own
property. This is a very wholesome and
proper restriction for that country. Un
fortunate' this class contains many en
emics.to the republic, who are constantly
fomenting turmoil and revolution. Max.
imilian was induced to come to Mexico by
this element, and established an empire
which, however, was of brief existence
aud had ft most inglorious ending. Tho
present government is so strong that any
attempt at revolution can be successfully
and epeedily put down.
"A few days before my departure from
Mexieo," resumed the General, after a
Cause, "I received a note from President
iaz and called upon him. In that inter
view, which lasted over half an hour, he
expressed himself in such strong and kindly
terms of the United States and of his de
sire of maintaining tbe closest and friend
liest relations with us that I came away
with a high sense of gratification. He ex
pressly said that Americans would be given
every protection and assistance in develop
ing the resources of Mexico, and that tbey
could count upon tbe heartiest welcome."
"What hus been the cause of misunder
standings in tho pastf" '
"Many of tbe difficulties that have arisen
between Americans, other foreigners and
the Mexicans have mainly come from a lack
of knowledge of the Spanish language.
Besides this, the character of the foreign
ers, and I include Americans, who have
made Mexico an asylum has not been good.
It is a fact that only, within a yery, few
years have our best representatives- gone
there. The southwestern border of Texas
has been tronblesome to the Mexican gov
ernment There are many Mexicans there
who are refugees from justice, and a very
bad class of Americans are mixed up with
them. These two elements are always cre
ating excitement and turbulence, and cre
ating the impression tbat another revolu
tion is about to break out in Mexico." .
"Do many pleasure or health-seekers go
to Mexico?"
"Not nearly so many aa should do so.
During the last two winters, from the
month of September to May, several thou
sand American ladles and gentlemen have
visited Mexico, and doubtless all of them
were surprised at what they saw, not only
in its abundance of natural resources, es
pecially its great mineral and vegetable
wealth" but in the delightful climate tbey
found in tbe interior. While we are swel
tering nndera most oppressive heat the
people of the City of Mexico and for sev
eral hundred miles round are enjoying the
finest atmosphere in the world at a tem
perature not exceeding 8J never exceeded
except for a few days in May, and then
only at mid-day. The nights are cool and
delitf htf nl."
"What about 'the rainy seasout"
"That is the season tbat foreigners usual
ly dread, chielly because thoy know noth
ing about it. There are no fevers or ma
larias. As for health, none of the famous
places in Europe can compare with it
Mexico, however, is deficient in hotel ac
commodations aud restaurants. Even in
the City of Mexico tbe hotel accommoda
tions are miserable. The owners of most of
the hotels, as 1 am informed, are Spaniards
who apvuid abroad all the income they de
rive from their property and never make
any repairs or improvements. That fact is
so well recognized by the government that
recently, by au act of Congress, a graut was
given to two prominent Mexicans to enable
them to build two ii rat-class hotels with ail
modern improvements."

FLY-CASTERS AT WAWASEE
They Used Minnows and Angle-Worms
for Lures and Are Now in Trouble
Prominent Members of an Exclusive Club
' Ctnged with Conduct Unbecoming Fly
J ishermen legend of Wawases Lake.
Thero is trouble brewing in tbe ranks of
that exclusivo organization known as the
Indianapolis Fly-fishermen's Club, and it
is all due to the trip to Wawasee lake last
wcok. A Journal reporter who accom
panied the party to Cedar Beach was sur
prised on boarding the train to eeo such'
ptebeian fishing tackle a minnow-buckets
and bait-casting poles scattered about the
car. Tho woid "pole" is used advisedly
here, as many respected fly-fishermen have
long contended thero should be a distinc
tion between fly-rods and baitruds, and
that anything put to so vulgar a use as tbe
latter should be called a pole. This action
led to tho placing of a w.ide barrier between
those disciples of Izaak Walton who are3
content to follow the good old man's ad
vice and lure fish with whatever bait they
are in the moc to take and thatotberciass
of anglers who preach that lmftation flies
should be used upon all occasions and on
all wateis, whether successfully or not
The reporter wa still more surprised to
hear one of the most expert fly-casters in
the club toll another member that he had
two large cans of worms stowed away in
his valiso; but when upbraided for his con
templated infraction of tbe club's rules he
replied they were intended for his wife
and children's use; but this turned out to
be merely a subterfuge.
For tho tirst tweuty-f our hours at the
lake, it is said that, for appearance sake,
every member of tbe club displayed bis ily
rod and persistently whipped the water
with hackles. Lord Baltimores, buck-tails
and many other tempting bass Hies, but to
no advantage. One or two sunfish, red-eyes
and blue-gills were caught, but not a single
bass. The next Jay some one suggested
minnows, and tbey were tried, with little
better success than hud attended the efforts
of tho lly-casters. In the meantime an evil
genius bad whispered "worms" to an otiicer
of tho club, who. forgetting principles and
tbe reputation of his society, yielded to the
temptation. Procuring one of tbe cans
talked about on the train, this apostate
"sneaked" off by himself, taking along his
rod ai;d book of flies 60 as to disarm suspi
cion as to the real purpose of his mission.
He returned two or three hours later with
several nice bass, and when questioned con
cerning tbo kind of bait used, guilelessly
pointed to his rod aud cast of flies
still on tbe leader. One inquisitive
person examined tho tackle and discovered
mutilated portions of angle-worms on the
hook of each ily. Thus was revealed the
secret of catching fish in Wawasoe lake.
Without exposing his friend in the pres
ence of the crowd that gathered to admire
the fash and congratulate the liy-casteron
his skill, the discoverer of the secret
quietly informed other members of the
club of what he bad seen. Fifteen minutos
later there might have been seen five or six
boats putting out from the landing place.
Each boat contained two ortbree "experts"
with tbe ny, and each expert had with him
a can of worms brought from Indianapolis.
Next day Colouel Draper, host of the Cedar
Beach Club-bouse, served a broiled. bass
dinner, the fish having allbeen caught with
flies with worms dangling from the barbs
of the hooks.
Some of tne fishermen became so bold as
lay aside their rods and shamelessly resort '
to the tabdoed pole. Dr. Waterman, Gen.
McGinnis, Dr. Clemmer. Austin B. Prather,
Albert T. Beck and others are known to
have used both minnows and worms, while
M. D. Butler and Will T. Noble were seen
with cans in their possession. As tbe former
f;entleman was active in having the Legis
ature enact a law making possession of a
Heine evidence of intent to violate the law.
there is little donbt that the same logic will
be applied to his case. John 11. Wilson
fished industrionsly every day, but always
in company with an oarsman, who had
probably been bribed to keep "mum" in re
gard to the bait He was very successful,
and it is but natural to suppose be also fell
from grace, A political opponent suggested
that he did not wish to destroy his cbance
of election to the county clerkship by let
ting the "unterrified" know be -fished with
worms. Many a candidate has been de
feated on a less serious charge than that
Another fault tbat should make voters
chary in supporting him la tbe fact that his
fish stories all bear the inipi ess of truth.
Jesse H. Blair, the club's secretary, and
Fish Commissioner Dennis are also charged
with undignified conduct in catching hsn
with appliances nnreoognized by esthetic
anglers.
Formal charges will be preferred against
all of tbe above-named gentlemen at tbe
next meeting of the club. It was proposed
to hold a court-martial on the ground, with
Mayor Sullivan as presiding otttcer, but
this idea was abandoned by the prosecutors
after learning his Honor had also fished
with minnows and worms. It was thought
his sympathies might lean toward the
guilty. Colonel Lilly will also have to
answer to the ohargo of aiding and abetting,
having given his hired men instructions to
dig bait for the offenders. It is barely pos
siblo that his story about hooking and
landing a twenty-two pound gar that had
risen to his Ily will be put in evidence to
provo fealty to the club's principles. With
some of its most active members on tho rack
there is fear tbat the Fly-fishermen's Club,
which has heretofore been such a force in
disseminating advanced ideas concerning
methods of deceiving fish, may have troublo
in disabusing the mind of tho public that it
nas not practiced deception itself.
i
The Legend of the Wawaiee.
Yachting is destined to becomo the great
eport on Wawasee lake or "Turkey," asit
is still called by those who have not heard
of the change in name. There is a pretty
legend connected with the word "Wawa
see," It is variously told, but tho true one,
as related by a patriarch whom the re
porter chanced to meet, is, in brief, as fol
lows: Many years ago, when the ' Indians
were the sole occupants of tho lake region
of Indiana, a pretty Pottawatomie princess
was loved by the chief of another tribe,
with whom her father was at war. One
night the lover chief crossed the Jake, ac
companied by a few picked braves, entered
the princess's wigwam and carried her
away. While the chief and his stolen bride
wero recrossiug the lake a great storm
arose, the water was lashed into fury, and
the canoes swamped. Somo days later tho
body of tho princess was picked up on the
beach close to her father's lodge. So great
was his grief he abdicated in favor or his
son, after naming the lake in memory of his
daughter. Descendants of the Pottawato
mies living in tho vicinity claim this to be
a true story, and ascribe tbe storm to tbe
vengeance of tho Great Spirit The name
has such a mellifluous sound that it was
adopted by the Cedar Beach Association,
aud also by the Wawasee Yacht and Canoe
Club.
INEBRIETY A DISEASE.
Dr. Fletcher Speaks of Temperance Movements
and Eulogizes that of Murphy.
Dr. W. B. Fletcher occupied the rostrum
at Plymouth Church last night and de
livered an address on tho Murphy move
ment He first referred to tho necessity of
the human body for stimulants and traced
the action of certain poisons, strychnia,
lead and ajcoho, upon muscles
and parts of tbe body. He
said alcohol is the most potent
of poisons and affects the brain first, and if
more is taken, then it affects the spinal
cord. Inebriety is now considered a dis
ease which the drinking man is not aware
of till he attempts to quit.
He next traced the history of tbe move
ment against intemperance, upon the peo
ple waking up to the fact, 2.V) years ago,
tbat drunkenness was causing an increase
of crime. The Doctor showed an intimate
knowledge of tbe subject and made
it very entertaining. Ho continued the
history down through Father Mathew'a
career, and then t amo to Francis .Mnrphy.
The story of that temperance evangelist's
life wait beautifully told. Murphy suc
cess, he said, lies in reaching down person
ally and putting a man on his feet, by lead-
ing bim into a spiritual life. . He maters a
man engage in a hand-to-hand fight, with a
higher nower to help against the enemy.
He calls upon the community to
help and sustain tbe man who
is trying to quit drinking. Tho speaker
called the movement a specialty in Chris
tian practice. He then pictured the cDange
he had Been not only in tens but in hun
dreds of homes from tho effects of Francis
Murphy's visit here last year. He said he
had personal knowledge of hun
dreds of cases where comfort,
health and happiness arose to bless tbe
man who quit drinking. His descriptions
were quite graphic. The Doctor closed
with a personal appeal to his hearers to
look with consideration upon the Murphy
movement and the leagues. His address
was closed amid applause.

WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY SAYS.
The City Can Define Its 0n Election Pre
cincts Good Use of the Aldermen.
The question has arisen as to whether
or not the city has any ward boundaries at
the present time, and, if it has, whether
they will conflict with the precinct boun
daries recently set by the County Commis
sioners in accordance with tbe new elec
tion law. According to that arrangement
th city haa 14H precincts, which were made
without any regard for old or new ward
lines. "Tbo new election law expressly
states," said City Attorney Taylor, last
night 'that cities shall have the power of
fixing their own precincts. The boundaries
set by the Couuty Commissioners will not
conflict with those which the city will
make,"
"la it possible to have two sets of pre
cincts in a city!" ho was asked,
"It has always been tho custom tobavo
two sets. Tbe city precincts never inter
fere with the county elections and vice
versa. The city can vote by wards if it
sees fit. Tbat plan is adopted in many
places, and it gives satisfaction."
"Do you think the Democrats will at
tempt to abolish tho Board of Aldermen in
the. next Legislature in order to get a
stronger hold on the city and Us elec
tions!1' "That is a hard question to answer, for
we can't tell what they may try to do. But
such a step would sell the city to corpora
tions in the start Tbe veto power ought to
be vested in a board and not in tbe Mayor.
Corporations fear newspapers more than any
other institutions with which they have to
deal, and the time that is given to the pa
pers by tbe present system of government
is ono of the best features about it As it
is, tbey have a week at least, and in that
time a bud measure can be defeated before
it comes up for final disposition. If tbe
aldermen were abolished corporations
could rush ordinances through- and secure
the sanction of tbe Mayor, ore-supposing
that he was willing to give his sanction,
before tbe papers could have a word to say,
1 think the people of this city, without re
gard to politics, would oppose such a state
of affairs."
Last Two Performances.
The last two performances of "Kettle
drum" will be given at the Grand Opera
house this and to-morrow evening, when
practically the same company that appeared

lines and musie. and is well up in tbe stage
situations. Last week's prices will pre
