Last evening at Boyd's theater "The Bar ber of Seville , " on- opera by Ro9ilnl , was presented by the Damrweh-Ellls Opera com pany In the presence of a largo and discrimi natingly appreciative audience. Tbe opera was first produced at < tbc Argentina theater , Rome , February 5 , 1816. The plot la founded upon a comedy by Beaumarchals and has served as the Inspiration ot a dozen com posers during almost a century. Rcsslnl waa a gleaner , and a skillful one , too. Ho had a confirmed bablt of borrowing succciutul num bers from his own works , and his "Aure- llano" Is rcciionslblo for the overture and several vocal numbers In the "Barber. " The trio "Zlttl , ZHtt" Is ( based upon a thcmo from "Tho Seasons" by Haydn , and the comic aria sung by Berta. la borrowed from a Rus sian melody. Several numbers of the original work have been lost and others are substi tuted at modern performances. The music Iceoon scene has come to be an always im proved charrco for the prlma donna to sing some-thing which will show her off to the best advantage , tbe opera being for the tlmo being converted Into concert. The performance last evening was In many respects remarkable. Mme.Melba as Roslna was quite In her element and sang and acted the part In a manner to captivate any one with eyes , curs and a reasonable amount of Intelligence. The beauty ot her voice has been eulogized until nothing new can be said. Those who heard It do not need to be told and tboro who did not hear It would bo no wiser when told. There la ; i delicious quality in her tone , from secotid epaco A to high C , that Is Inexpressible. The lower tones are not so good and would be better If the lower register were not carried so high. Once out of these and all tbo colors of the rainbow blend and contrast till one U ut terly bewildered. In the muelc lesson ivene these were most in evidence , and the Mat- tlnatl by Tostl , to which she played her own accompaniment upon a piano , \ > as almost the gem of tbe performance. In response to i > n- thuslastlo applause she sang a verse ot "The Old Folks at Homo" with a tenderness that was wonderfully effective. Her prt > nuuuatlon ! of English waa almost perfect and cau ° ed ono to fervently wish that the whole oppra wcro sung In our own tongue. At this point the delight ot the audience reached Its high est point and the singer had the poor taste to throw cold water upon It by refusing to sing again and finally seeming to submit to an ungrateful necessity. The enjoyment of the second verso was only possible by dis associating the sons from the singer. The opera ended with the vocal waltz "Rose buds , " by Ardltt , sung In a charming man ner. At Its close Mme. Melba took the E flat above high C with as clear and beautiful tone as one needs to bear. Next to the prlma donna the Interest and admiration of the evening centered In the baritone , Slgnor Campanarl. His rendering of Flsaro la a work of art that Is seldom equaled. His voice Is rich and ringing and the upper tones , oven to A flat , are under perfect control. His singing of Largo al Factotum will not be forgotten soon by those who appreciate 'the difficulties which he overcame with the greatest ease. M. Sallgnac , as the Count , Bang artistically with a voice of clear quality and moderate power. His execution Is fairly good and In the ensemble work he wae especially satis * factory. , Slgnor Carbonc ta Bartolo gave a render ing of the part that causes ono to doubt that anyone else could do It better. The re mainder of the cast was satisfactory and Slgnor Blmbonl conducted with energy and decision. There were times when tUe or * chestra would tavo done well to have wlUched his beat. Their mind-reading powers were not sufficient to produce i r- fect rhythmic unity unaided , by the sight of the baton. The "Barber" la a comic opera that De Koven , Herbert and others would do well to study. Its meddles are characterlzoj by srace and brilliancy. It is full of laughable situation ! and , even though done In a for- elgn.la.ngt1 > e , afforded the audUnce no cui of amusement. The company left ! at night for Kansas City and will make a tour to the Pacific coast. Would that It could stop hero for another performance en Its way east. Are two performances of grand opera In ona jeur too much for Omaha ? Robert Mantell. the dashing romantic actor , will bo at Boyd's theater for four perform ances , beginning tonight. The opening play will be "Monbars" and It will bo repeated at the matinee Saturday. On Friday and Saturday evenings we will sec "A Secret Warrant" "which left a very favorable Impression last fall. These high class dramas will be enjoyed by the lovers of the historical stage and probably no player of our country stands In greater favor among women than Robert Mantell. Since his advent as a star he has been a continu ous producer of those scholarly works which make the theater a temple of art and educa tion. Not only Is he himself an able stage manager and sincere student , but he surl rounds himself with actors of acknowledged ability ; his mountings are finished and cor rect and the ensemble of his presentations perfect. He carries a largo equipment and costumes the play with marked taste and fidelity. Shakespeare of course is his great master , but , acknowledging the ability ot the modern writers , ho selects from the beat ; Dumas , D'Ennery and Sardou are fals favor ite authors , and their best works have re ceived conscientious care and have never been better produced In America than by Robert Mantell. Old Ottlcem Arei Re-Elected. MONTREAL , April 6. At the annual meeting of the Canadian Pacific railroad today - day the old board and the old officers were re-elected. The annual , report was adopted and the proceedings were unanimous through out. out.President President Van Horne , In his a-anual ad dress , referred to the rate cutting war , de fending the action of his company In the matter.

" _ Jt mr Judce Baker has Directed that a writ of mandamus Issue aealpst the mayor and the ctty council of the city of Omaha , requiring them to pay Police Judge Gordon a salary at the rate of $2,500 per year from April 1 , 1S97 , to January 1 , 1S9S. Police. Judge Gordon was In office at the time of the adoption of the new charter of the city and In April , 1897 , he'was ' a candi date for the same office. He was elected and qualified and continued to serve. On January 1 ho demanded thot Instead of a salary at the rate of $1,200 per year , as pro vided for by the now charter , the council pay htm according to the terms of the char ter under which he was serving prior to the tlmo when the new charter became operative. This the council refused to do , holding that when Gordon accepted the office of police ludso lost April ho accepted It with the salary attached and was estopped from clalmluz under the provisions of the old charter. Ho refused to accept the terms proposed and brought mandamus proceed ings. The case came on before Judge Baker , who held that under Gordon's prior election ho was entitled to all of the emoluments of the office unless he had resigned. It was ehown that he had not done so and the writ was ordered to go out against the mayor and the council. City Attorney Conncll contends that when Gordon went Into the campaign last spring and was elected he surrendered all claims to the offtco as provided for under the old charter and has no right to ask for the salary that was attached. He has taken exceptions to the , decision of Judge Ilaker and will ap peal to the supreme court.

The accumulation of sarr.dust and shavings Increase the lire risk of the surrounding locality and the soot that emanates from the big chimney accumu lates on the clean clothes which the house wives hang out to dry. For these and sun dry other reasons they demand that the In dustry should bo deported to some locality where It will bo less obnoxious. The mat ter was referred to the building Inspector and health commissioner , 'Who ' will report at the next meeting. Building Inspector Butler reported that ho had condemned the one-story frame blilldlngs at S04-S06 North Sixteenth street and 1C04 Burt street. Ho declared that they are In a dangerous condition and asked tbo board to approve his action. The owners will bo notified to appear before the board next Wednesday and show cause why the recommendation should not foe carried Into effect. _ Stntc Hellef fur CnliniiM. W. 'N.

Preparations have been made at the gov ernment corral to respond Instantly It march- ng orders are received. Captain Jones of the commissary department said last night that ic had recently obtained data regarding the cubic measurements of railroad cars and md completed other details necessary when ho transportation of a depot of supplies U contemplated. The soldiers at Fort Crook lave been Instructed to overhaul their can vas and a supply has been furnished in a number of cases where the equipment has icon found short. A requisition has also been received from Fort Rlley fofr a aup- ply of camp stoves. A shipment of Buzza- c'ott ovens of the latest pattern has been sent In response to this request. Captain Jones says that In spite ot the Increased activity In the quartermaster's department no orders have been received to prepare for an emergency. Ho expeota that tJiere will be little warning , however , If they do come nnd consequently the department has en deavored to be prepared. Major Andrews of the adjutant general's branch said : "There Is absolutely no truth In the rumors so far as this department U concerned. 11 Is vcjcy natural that at all times the army should bo prepared to movs at a moment's notice , and that at this par ticular time , when there Is JM much war talk , the soldiers should be worked a little harder than ordinarily , so that there would bo no delay In moving to the front should the order be received. But everything sj tar as the departments of the army are con cerned has been held In abeyance pending the mcesago of the president , which goes to congress today , and the action that the legis lators take upon It. Should this branch ot the army eventually be called Into service In case of war between Spain and the United States U would bo ready to move wlthlh twelve hours If neccreary. Until such orders are received , however , the department will not work out of the groove of routine busi ness. " Kill 10 UHCUIM ) . of n Ilnllronil Mnn. BALTIMORE , April 7.
