THE GREAT PLAY.
The Tremont opera-house is being
tuned up for the great event of the sea-
son—A Night Off. The Boston Herald
says of this remarkable production:
‘‘Augustin Daly’s successful comedy,
A Night Off, was given at the Boston
museum last evening for the first time in
this city, and scored the usual success
that attends all of Mr. Daly’s pieces. It
was presented in the same elegant man-
ner as in New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, and all the large cities in the
United States, as well as in Berlin, Lon-
don and Paris. It is certainly the bright-
est and funniest comedy ever produced.”

“she” TO-NIGHT.
The famous spectacular drama, She, is
the attraction for to-night, and theater-
goers are anticipating a great treat. The
Chicago journal says of the production
I new additions: “W. A. Brady’s
dramatization of Haggard’s ‘She,’ which
was presented at the Academy last even-
ing, is a most excellent version. His
adaption is compact, and gives a splen-
did idea of the wild, weird story. The
play opens with a prologue in which the
death of Leo’s father occurs. The ac-
tion of the play occurs twenty years
later, and shows the adventures in a
boat near the Ethiopian’s head. The
panoramic views and the other views are
most excellent specimens of what a
scenic artist can do. Several of the sets
were superb. The company is on the
whole very good, and the perormance
gave general satisfaction to the large
house.

important position in the McLean-Pres-

Alderman Keymerslioffer Gives a Few
Pointers—Galveston Jewelery lEstab-
lishinents Attract Attention — Other
Matters Hurriedly Discussed.
“No, there is not a special demand for
clerical service in Galveston,” is the
answer the “ ? ” made to an inquiry this
morning. There are more demands than
positions, and, as a logical consequence,
the wages for those who are actually em-
ployed are not inordinately attractive.
Fay for clerical work of the average
kind is not large in any city, and it could
hardly be otherwise. It is not difficult
to fill the duties of the average clerk. The
general tendency everywhere is towards
specialism, and the specialist in manual
labor, in clerical work and in intellectual
pursuits will always be the better paid.
It is said that a bookkeeper can be had in
any large eastern city for $10 a week, and
t this can hardly be called big pay; still
, there are hundreds glad to get it.

“I have been taking in the jewelers to-
day, that is, I have been feasting my
eyes on the several stocks displayed in
the windows of the Market and Tremont
street stores,” said a frequent visitor to
the city to the “ ?” this evening. “ Who
does not like to look in the jewelers’
windows and note the gorgeous displays
of precious stones, ringsand bracelets?
And what a pretty setting the marquise
is! A long, pointed oval of sparkling
gems reaching from knuckle to knuckle,
oftentimes all pure white stones and
sometimes a sapphire or emerald in the
center with the small diamonds in a
cluster aoout it. A cameo in a marquise
pattern is an exquisite setting, but one
rarely sees cameo now. Then there is
the gypsy setting for rings, the serpent
coil, the solitaire, and this latter, of
course, is the better way of showing the
beauty of a single gem. Then another,
favorite setting is the round cluster, an
opal, a pearl, an emerald or sapphire in
the center and the sparkling diamonds
encircling it. A turquoise looks well set
this way, as does the opal, especially an
eastern fire opal; and a choice ruby looks
like a drop of blood in the center. But
the favorite seems to be the sapphire and
diamonds. The sapphire dulls at night
as if its rays had gone back to the sun, so
if you are rich you can have sapphires
and diamonds for 5 o’clock tea adorn-
ment and emeralds and diamonds for
evening wear.” The “?” assured the
visitor of his appreciation of pretty and
costly jewels, but the smoke of a nickle
cigar, and the sight of a beef bone sleeve
button suggested that the discussion of
costly jewels was not in harmony with
his surroundings and he politely with-
drew.

Qf Peculiar Interest to Galveston Peo-
ple at Present.
Of course everybody knows of Mr. P.
S. Gilmore and his famous band, whose
names are as familiar in our mouths as
household words, and a few facts about
the interesting artistic life of the great
bandmaster will always be welcome
reading to American music lovers.
Mr. Gilmore landed in this country
shortly after Christopher Columbus, and
there is a rumor that he furnished the
music at the marriage festivities of the
Princess Pocahontas and Captain John
Rolfe. This, however, is only legendary.
The famous bandmaster, whose kindly
and intelligent features will be recognized and
by everybody,became a distinctly shaped,
historical feature some time previous to
1858, when he was leader of the Boston
Brigade band, the Suffolk band of Bos-
ton, and the celebrated Salem band. He
and his admirably organized orches-
tra played quite a part at some
remarkable political events in the
history of tliis country. They were
present at the inauguration of Presidents
Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, Cleveland,
Harrison and others, and at most of the
the great political conventions, including
the famous democratic convention at
Charleston, S. C., -which was followed by
the outbreak of the great civil war. As
the convention adjourned angry calls
were made upon the band to strike up a
war hymn. “Give us the Marseillaise!”
shouted a stentorian voice, to which Gil-
more responded by striking up “The Star
Spangled Banner,” alternating it with
“Hail Columbia” and “Yankee Doodle.”
At the outbreak of the war Gilmore at
once joined the federal army, and in-
duced every man of his band to do the
same. They joined one of the crack Bos-
ton regiments—the Second Massachu-
setts Volunteers—and went with the
Burnside expedition to the Carolinas.
Later on, General N.P. Banks placed
Gilmore in charge of all bands of music
in the department of the gulf, during the
war, and, on March 4, 1864, at the in-
auguration of Michael Hahn as the gov-
ernor of freed and restored Louisiana,
Gilmore gave a grand national concert in
connection with the imposing ceremon-
ies, in which he induced ten thousand
children from the public schools whom
he had trained in national airs, to take
part. The great events of Gilmore’s life
were the two mammoth Boston Peace
jubilees of 1869 and 1872, in which 30,-
000 singers and 2,500 instruments took
part, besides several of the most famous
bands of Europe. This being the twenti-
eth anniversary of the wonderful event,
he is giving a comemorative series of
jubilees throughout the land, the one to
be held here occurring Friday, Dec. 6. at
Harmony hall. He will have his great
band, several eminent vocalists, a grand
chorous, anvils, artillery, etc., to repeat
the genuine enthusiasm of the original
affair. ______________________

“What do you think of it?” asked the
“?” of Aiderman Reymershoffer as he
was examining a map of West Galveston.
“I think it is an enterprise that should
be encouraged by the citizens of Galves-
ton. It will bring us both capital and
population, and it will make a bridge to
the mainland an absolute necessity. It
would please me and would undoubt-
edly benefit the entire community if
every foot of land between Galveston and
Houston was under cultivation. Some
ten years ago I made an effort to encour-
age immigration by providing immi-
grants with homes and farms. . My idea
was to buy large tracts of land'between
this city and Houston, lay them off
in farms and have them cultivated by
immigrants, allowing them to buy as
they might become possessed of means.
A number of Texas farmers, familiar
with the soil and its production, could
have been engaged to superintend the
work, and by this time, I dare say, the
entire country between the two cities
would have been thickly settled. Citizens
at the time were too cautious and
moneyed men would not take the matter
in hand.”
“What do you think the prospects are
for deep water?” inquired the “ ?.”
“Good,” replied the aiderman. “In
fact, I have never seen the outlook more
encouraging for Galveston. If the peo-
ple of Texas will only pull together I can
not see why they should not have a sea-
port that would compete with any in
the world. It is something the entire
south is badly in need of, Texas especial-
ly, and as it has been demonstrated time
and again that Galveston is the most
accessible point, and that it is the choice
of the greater number of people, I think
we should all pull together and make it
the seaport of the south.” “What are
your ideas on the proposition of building
an harbor on the southern coast of Gal-
veston island ?’’ asked the “ ? ”. “I think
it a very expensive one. To make it safe
for vessels a basin, which would cost an
enormous amount of money, must be
built. A wall that would resist the waves
to be found in thirty feet of gulf water
must be powerful indeed. The
French government built an harbor
similar to this, and the construction not
only cost an enormous amount of money,
but the amount expended to keep it in
repair is astonishing. It would seem
more practical to me to obtain deep
water where nature has so kindly formed
a basin and one that we know will pro-
tect our ships.”
“It is argued,” said the “?,” “that a
harbor on the south side of the island
would give 'Galveston the benefit of all
shipping done, whereas, if built on the
north side, much freight would pass
through unhandled.”
“That is all nonsense. The railroads
must run to the docks wherever they
are, and when a man ships a bill of goods
it is always billed through to its destina-
tion. Of course Galvestonians would
handle these goo Is in loading them from
the cars to the boats and from the boats
to the cars. It would give employment to
thousands of people and put money in
circulation.”
MRS. W. J. HOULHHHN.
130 Postoffice Street, Between 22d and 23«1,
Kates Gives Evening Tribune a
Kindly Kick.
To Evening Tribune:
Galveston , Dec. 3.—Your item bearing
above title in yesterday’s Evening Trib-
une is not entirely in accord with facts or
logic. We have reason to believe that
our Mikado hall audiences are more large-
ly composed of interested persons than
those “drawn thither by curiosity.” Do
you want proof ? Come any night and
we will take a vote. Anything in our ser-
vice “out of the usual channel of religious
service,” is only in accord with the ideas
a person may have of what a religious
service is. We do the best we can to dig-
nify and make impressive. The music is
tjie only thing not supplied by what
wealth can do in securing the trained
voice and classic touch. We do not de-
pend upon organ and choir to develop a
religious feeling. We are resorting to
logic andfact. 'The only thing “out of the
usual channel” is a persistency of some
persons to whisper aloud” and to resort
to ungentlemanly conduct instead of be-
ing polite listeners. And yet we have
fairly good order, which we shall always
demand in a civilized community. \
The efforts of Mrs. Kates are your
special subject of criticism. True gal-
lantry suggests t hat she should be treat-
ed as a lady of honor and not alluded to
as a charlatan, even by intimation. The
old cry of self-deception is implied by
you; also the possibility of “collusion
and a knowledge of local events.” Please
explain to us what are “fleeting men-
tal impulses.” Will you charge some
of your best citizens with being in collu-
sion with Mrs. Kates ? Who else are in
the majority amongst those who have
testified to the facts during our meetings
, here? “Knowledge of local events”
won’t account for a large number of tests
given by Mrs. Kates, for these facts are
. in many cases unknown by other'than
; the one person to whom they are stated,
. and often even that person must hunt up
. the evidence from distant persons and
’ places. Too many people are like you—
they accept the “marvelous in imagina-
tion” instead of the reality demonstrated
by facts. We will not take much excep-
tion to your idea of paganism being now
in the world. We might differ, however,
as to who represents and bows to its
shrine.
When you speak of the mystery of the
spirit world you should speak in the first
person, and not for all people. An editor
is not always an infallible oracle. We do
most positively deny that “of the condi-
tion beyond this life the world is as much
in darkness to-day as it was when the
record of human events began.” But
you speak of the “unknown” condition
beyond this life. Of course there will al-
ways be much unknown; but much of
the previously unknown has been
learned. We must exact correctness and
conciseness of you, as you do of us. We
are, however, glad that you are disposed
to notice and discuss the facts and phi-
losophy of spiritualism, for by agitation
will come knowledge. Fraternally,
G- W. Kates.
Brother Kates will kindly allow us to
suggest that the article above referred to
was not actuated by any motives of malice,
nor were the opinions given as de facto.
The portion that criticised was written
from the standpoint of a skeptic, as be-
ing the opinions that a skeptic might en
tertain as an observer of the “test” per-
formances alluded to on the evening in
question. The same skeptical observer
might reiterate the question, if spiiits
really hold converse with mortals, why
do they confine their communications to
matters of apparently trivial importance
and end these in such a vague manner
that no definite knowledge is imported"
Why do they not concisely state facts so
that mortals can comprehend their
meanings, and divulge some of the mys-
teries of the condition in which they
have their being that would be a definite
guide to humanity? However, we have
no desire to enter into a controversy on
this subject. We entertain for Mr?and
Mrs. Kates feelings of the greatest re-
spect, and we respect their belief in the
principles of which they are the exp; n-
ents, as they do the opinions that we en-
tertain, lie the “paganism” where it may.
