M.

The western division runs from Tchellublnsk lo Omsk, nnd a ticket can be purchased Tor or less than half a cent a mile. There are over 200 miles of tainous country traversed by this division, but all tunnels iiuve bueti avoided.

I is expected to liave the permanent iron bridges over the rivers crossed flnlnhed In 1S90, nnd wooden structures are used In the meantime, but they must be removed before the ice breuks up next spring.

Public Library Charter, Feb. stated in these dispatches this morning, the state is gradually drifting: 'back to a cash basis. Like other largre 'bodies, it movey elowly, but -It Is getting there Just 'the same. On the IGfh day when Governor Culbe'rsori assumed control of -the e.TO ta.l mar olvlnery, there w-ere some-thingr over 18,000 -treasury warrants outstanding and they collect for -about On yesterday Treasurer Wortbam called In 14,000 of these warrants, leaving exactly 4732 warrants still These warrants average a little less than J100 each, leaving still a-nu tfhowliig t'ha-t the state has caught up wifh'in tlie past few days to the tune of Now -the general impression o-f those ought to know Is that -the state ought to catch up and again do business on a cash basis within thirty or forty days. Of course the present ad- mlrrlstratlon -has n-ofhl-ns to do with the money that is now coming but that Is neither here nor It Is "believed that by the 1st of April at Uhe longest the state will be once more doing business at the old stand and payiing an she goes, a la the Old A'hralde's shibboleth.

In this connection it will be remembered that the old appropriation plays out on the 28t'h day of February. At that liime -the state wlH Tiot be so vary far It has been and the sngg-rjstton mee-ts with much favor on the part of financiers--that 'the best and quickest way for the state to be placed on a solid financial 'footing agaiin Is to use the special of about 5HOO.OOO now on hand and fhen $200.000 worth of bands, to lie sold to fho school fund and the university 'fund, said bonds not to be eohl in New York or hawked about outside of the state. The special fund referred to comes from the unorganized county iox fund, laird sales account, under act of Muroh 2U, 1887, escheated estates, direct tajc ruiid, and so on, amounting in all to about wwwn. by rrorr.o 1'hat It be a violation of the constitution to use fund in this way, but some of the constitutional lawyers think Just the opposite. At any ra-te, this special and the $200,000 issuance of bonds, which Is 't'he constitutional limit, would make an available fund with which to earrv on the state government of $100,000.

Receipts coming In during February and March will amount to some more, making a total of JUOO.OOO.

He has a good figure-- more like one woult- expect'in a tenor, and his acting, while not passionate or in-tense, is rounded. T-he Michcla of Nina Bertlna Humphreys Is worthy of special mention. She has not the volume of -M-arle Tavary, (but every -is placed "where the little artiste intended should go, and there were no jars with the'orchestra. Her In the i act, where she enters the smugglers' camp In search of Jose, and In which she vows that she 'Is brave and strong, though In her heart a timid slave, was particularly sweet ajid deserved t'he encore the audience demanded and received. She took high In her encore In a manner which surprised and delighted her hearers.

The name on the bill after Escamlllio was William Schuster. He looked the Ideal Torreador. His singing of the familiar Tor- rcudor solo stirred the audience. "His baritone is -better than the baritone of the night previous-. There Is a -power in It tliat pleases.

William Hamilton did the basso of Zunlga, the captain, very well. Mr. Joseph Witt and Mr. H. S.

Keady as the two smugglers had little to do, but their voices good and deserved better parts. The chorus made a fit setting to the It was evenly as in "Trovatore," and gave the choruses In a manner that showed strict training. But Carmen. Last fall, or rather near the end of the summer, a well appearing young lady walked into the office of Manager Charles H. Pratt and said that she i i tu 'oi the Carman of hln opera troupe this season.

She said that she nad spending the four years in Italy studying music. Carmen had appealed to her aw the one ruie In which ene wanted to appear, and she had made a special study of the character. Mr. Pratt Informed her that 1 was not prepared to carry a singer for a part alone. She left, but caller! again, and arrangements were made whrreby she was to sing the title role on the following Thu PHI Jay night.

She Htuig and the audience applauded a new star in the theatrical firmament. The New York gave her head and were profuse in their praJeu. Thia waa the uanie Carmen who captivated the Galventon playgoers last night. The name she gives on the bills in Thea Dorre, pooelbly a combination from her iirst mime, Theodora. Mr.

Pratt says he don't know, and the little lady don't tell. She is un Ideal Carmen. One could not be more natural. Her Hlnirlng, her acting, her nctlvlty. her coquottlahnesn, 1 her abandon, her grace of ipovement--all blend to mtikc an Incomparable Carmen, first a cigarette girl niui then a The little devils springing from those Fide wise glances of her black eyes, the little feet which are never still, tho little -mouth which can to perfection or pout to detraction--they belong to Thea Dorre'a Carmen, Her voice, a mezzo-soprano, has volume, a bird-like clearness, liquid depth that docs not require a classical musician lo direct or appreciate 1 Her histrionic abilities alone would give her a principal part upon the -stage.

She puts her whole soul into iiur work. Her pantomime In the third act. where Jose Implores her noU to forsake him for the torreador, wan a splendid piece of acting. Indecision, sudden decision, a of EscamUllo, a thought of Jose, reluctance, persistence, passion, pity, penitence--all thejse were 'depicted In a manner an pronounced by her poalngs and facial expression!) as though the words had been spoken. Hers was a Carmen to remember.
