THE RIGHT OF WAY GRANTED, A Union Depot Secured and a Tenth Ave- nue Freight House, THE VIEWS OF FAIRY LAND. The Poor Farm Sold to Horace Ever ett—Coasting Accident—Deeds Keep Speaking louder Than Words, A Night With Fairies, The opera honse was again erowded last evening with a delighted audience enthusiastic over the enchanting ‘‘Naiad Queen.” The fairy opera is rightly named. Few, even of those who had high expectations raised, but were sur- prised. Certain it is that nothing of a home entertainment has been presented here which was so full of merit, and nothing, either of home or foreign talent, which has equaled it in secenic effect. The work of preparation has extended over weeks past, and the neces: trill- ing of ov <ons has been an al- most heret Last evening the opera was presented with much more success than on the opening evening. There was less timidity on the part of the little folks, the dazzling novelties of the opening night had lost somewhat of their bewildering effeets, and the participants were so much more at home on the stage that many of the eauses of criticism erl' done away The audien: really wild with enthusiasm as the won- derful scenic effects e produced with lightning rapid The peeps at Fairy- land were indeseribable for beauty and nnsi(-:\l teatures of the entertain- re excellent, Some of the best ¢ participate, and the lie hands of those fully competent. " Mrs. J. G, Wadswortn, the 1 Queen, 1s n comparative new dan of this cil 8 ulrvmly won _her way wor by her wonderful voice thoroughly, and the ease with which handies it, the sweetne: clearne smoothhess of tones calls forth merited from the most eritical audieue ng s alittie stitf and her v little too deliberate for a fair n, but her voice u(unnsbuunulull) y such d , Misses Anna and gladly welcomed. ming voices, ng as if they really cn|u)u( it .

One represented the (iudl! of Merey, the other of Jus- tice. Another of this talented family, a younger sister, Miss Minnie Merkel, fully sing in the mu: 1 line as either sang u very pleasing solo in her character as the gypsy fortune teller. A toush of timidity pre\'umml her doing her best. J.A. Kofis given a prominent part, th uflhe daughter of wealth. She 18 a favorite singer here, and her ance calls forth hearty applai has a birdlike voice, flexible, round and full, and with her happy face and gr ful Inauners she captivates an audieng a8 soon as she utters anote, some diflicult bits of acting, omplishes these with great credit. As the \w:mny and proud girl she pic- tures the scorn for the poor beggar womun, with whom she is suddenly made to change places by the will of th queen. In her condition of tatters pleads for mercy, and in the dual part does some very good acting. T'he swect- ness of her solo singing 1s after all the charm of ner part. Several floral trib- utes were presented her by enthusiasti admirers in the audience. Miss l\l:m.m J y , merits s |ml~ vd wl i s the child of se also. She she handles e aertaed pathetic solos. Mr I ‘Vl Treynor took the sentine of the queen. He has one ot the smoothest and yetstrongest ten- ors. always a delignt to hear him, and in this opera there arp numerous chances for the showing of his excellent voice. He won a fuil share of applause, and rightly so. Miss Minnie Miller as a merry Zingara, Ann r a pleasing solo. Iss Bessic Squire took a_prominent nd for one young, did wonder- urp n her friends. Her voice was excellent in song, but her act- ing, her grace of position, her case of manner, were really remarkable. Pro- fessional actors could hardly have done better than she. Belle Snyder, as a child of faith, sang a pleading for the boatman to take her cross the lake in the storm, and with a arness of enunciation which made every word audible to all. She took her part so naturally that the scene was one of the most pathetic of the whole even- in, iola Burgess, as the blind girl, sang a tuulnl-huu.: song and carried out her pun wel Miss Mary C , as queen of the gyp- sies, was charming, and the duct with Charles H. Brown, the king of the band, was excellent. _Clem A. Herschell merits special men- for his excellent portrayal of the acter of the boatman, choruses were better than on the opening night, It is difficult to train so many young »S S0 as to get the best out of them, but considering tne large v the' management may well be stied with the result, The costumes were rich and varied. The scenery was gorgeous, and some of the stage actions were wonderful, The drill of the Dryads, under the direction of Samuel R, Milleur, was marvelous, and it seemed that the audience could not get enough, round after round of applause calling for repetitions of the charming evolutions, marches and tableaux, In fact no such entertainment has ever been given here before, and the audiences ghted that there is no question A house being filled every night, Those who want choice seats must se- cure them quickly. The entertainment has so many child- ren in it that it will be a severe strain on many of them. FKor these little folks to appear night after night for nearly a week will exhaust them greatly, and the parents und friends will have to take special precautions to prevent injury to Lealth, " The excitement and exposure, the work and the anxiety will make the little ones badly fagged “out by Saturday night, —— - THE RIGHT OF WAY.

Sccretary of State Jackson recently visited Council Blufts to Des Moines w: ister man there. ‘The Register has poked a great deal of fun at Council Blufls, but it will probably now be more cautious after receiving the following inforination from Mr. Jackson’s own lips: The boom at Council Blutfs is a enuine It is due to several reasons.
