BILL NYE'S PLAY.
It Is An Operatta Entirely
New. .
RECHERCHE A5D HIGH TOXED.
Its Same is "The Singed Cat," and It
Offers Advantages Super
ior to All.
I have just returned from a private re
hearsal of a new operetta of which I am
the author, and hasten to write a fair,
honert criticism of it for the press. In
this criticism I Khali try to he perfectly
frank to mention any defects, and yet I
shall try to avoid hurting the author's
feelings. I want to score the operetta
with a merciless band, and yet I do not
wish to give myself needless pain.
The operetta itself is called "The
Ringed Cat," becanse it i really so much
bette than it seems to be. The manic
was composed partly by myself and part
ly by a count who plays on the ferryboats
in summer and has his winters to him
self. The orchestra opens the performance
with a selection from the "Flying Dutch
man." Difficult as it may appear, the
orchestra makes a good selection from
this gentleman, and it is played well af
ter everything is ready. It takes some
little time for an orchestra to get ready,
however. The man who bites off the
first joint of the clarionet breathes a few
liquid notes, the first violin sounds "A,"
and the gentleman with the bassoon
looks up its dark recesses to see if any
cayenne or kittens have been deposited
there since be played last. The superin
teodent of the large violin stands it up
on end and feels of its staccato. He then
chalka hi bow, and the leader whispers
in a low voice to the man who salivates
the cornet. The snare-drum soloist gets
his assortment of drums into a semi
circle, hangs bis triangle where he can
get at it, runs his eye over the xylophone,
sleigh-bells, bird-call, picket-fence, bones,
castanets, cymbals, Swiss bells, and for
tissimo. The leader writes his autograph
in the atmosphere with his stick, and the
band goes into committee of the whole
with a wild snort.
The curtain now rises, and a primary
school of over eight hundred pupils is
teen passing in review across the ntae,
Hinging a song of forty-nine verses, mean
time going throuzh a system of calis
thenics. In making one-night stands
with "The Hinged Cat," most any prima
ry school will do with a few rehearsals for
this chorus. Get these children secured
in advan and all their parents will
come to see how the children look on the
stage. I thought of this myself.
A beautiful soprano now comes on, ac-
comnanied bv her voice, and wonders
where Felix is. She decides to sing a
small suns while waiting for him. The
son is an arweeio with diatonic scales
on it. It beirins low and fluttering, like
the err of a wounded clay pigeon, and
gradually soars upward, like the price of
coal, and eml with some artistic gargling
which suggests a warble in the upper
register. i
The prima donna of the "Singed Cat"
has a pleasant voice full of timbre and
fine allegro movement, bordering on the
andante. Mr. Kiley, who has heard her,
says that when she pulls out the last
joint on her crescendo and epens her
upper register, her mouth looks not un
like a stab io the dark. She sings with
the whole arm movement.and her action
is good as she goes by the judges' stand.
She has a selection ia the second act
railed "Back to Our Mountains," in which
she starts off with a ritard in which she
emits a chest note which tests the acous
tics of the hall, that she is tickled to get
back to her mountains, such as they are,
and Is pleased with the altitude. She
has assisted in "The. Damnation of
Faust," bnt otherwise, her conduct has
been good. She is a widow, her husband
being deceased. He was listening to the
none of a bazx-saw near Stillwater,
Minn., in '85, and got an idea that the
saw had something confidential to com
municate and desired to take him apart
far that tMimoea. AnvwaT. be was in
that condition when they found him
For that reason her music is frequently
tearfnl and often solfeggio in soots. Her
repertoire is very large and has a lid on
it. The only criticism that I feel war
ranted in making, and I hate to do that,
is that she has slightly ruptured her
voice by trving several years ago to sing
a dnet with herself and thus draw two
salaries.
When the applause has died away
Kelix comes in with a baritone voice and
diminished triad. He thinks of the first
verse while the piccolo makes a few des
ulatory remarks and then he explains

simple white gown, with Valenciennes
lace around the throat, and her warm
tears of gratitude tinkle down and tickle
the back of his neck as he tenderly con
veys her into the adjoining county, where
her parents live on a farm.
This is a good part of the operetta,
making it spectacular and yet respecta
ble. He must, indeed, be a creature
dead to all the finer instincts of oar lost
and underdone race who will not pay to
see a chorus of beautiful gbls recued
from a burning seminary at night. How
much more lifelike it is than a militia
company of beautiful women who come
on the stage with as brief address as par
liamentary rules will allow, snd after
making a few terse remarks with both
feet go away.
Toe hinged Cat ' introduces a pri
mary school, a seminary, an entre nous
isabcock fire company and a barrel of
rain-water. It contains everything enno
bling, with the exception of a plot..
The scene is laid in tins country, and
between the two acts, while the girls in
the seminary are getting ready for the
midnight holocaust, there will be twenty
minutes of refined ventriloquism. Even
should the operetta and the chaste music
fail to accomplish any good, I feel that no
one can listen to this ventriloquism for
twenty minutes and not go away a better
man. We have ransacked Europe for a
man who can throw bis voice farther
without cracking it, than any other man.
We have secured a ventriloquist who can
conceal his voice under an alias and then
suddenly take it oat of an escritoire near
by. This man will imitate also the
hoarse accents of a bock-saw meandering
through a bass wood plank in a way that
will certainly give all humanity a keener
desire for something nobler and better.
The idea of introducing ventriloquism
into American opera is original with me.
I think that the opera should be made to
teach us something, and give us some
thing to look back to and .think about.
The ventriloquist who can split his voice
up into a dialogue between a uerman
gentleman down in the root cellar and an
Irish party upon the hay mow has it in
bis power to lead humanity out of the
sordid channels of trade, and by enlarg
ing our horizon, really give us more for
oar money than we have . ever had before.
"The Singed Cat" will be produced at
the Polo Grounds early in January. Let
there be a full house. Bill Nye.

Colonel Nick Bell, superintendent of for

Congress from Arkansas, started up to
Somerset, Va., to attend the wedding of
Consul General Turner, St, Thomas, W.

Brandy station, six miles north of Cul

the train slowed up and the conductor
yelled :
"Brandy!"
The three democratic statesmen jumped
up.

recent marriages of the Jyoung people.

More than 3000 were invited or admitted

AsaxaxD, Or., Dec. 17. The Oregon
reception train,baving on board the Port
land delegation and the invited guests of
Richard Koehler, manager of the O. & C,
road, amongst whom were representative
Portland citizens, the state officials, the
supreme court, Mayor Ramsey, and John
H.Albert, of Salem, and the mayors of
other valley towns, arrived on the scene
of the last spike ceremonies at 10 :20 this
morning, after a pleasant ride through
the Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue
rivQ valleys.
Ashland was in holiday attire.
Though the day was foggy and chilly
throughout, the citizens of Ashland
abated not one jot of the cordiality of
their reception of their guests.
An informal reception was tendered to
their northern visitors under an ever
green arch of welcome.
The ceremonies of the Last Spike were
delayed from 3 until 4 :30 p. m. by the
non-arrival of the California excursion
train, which consumed three hours in
the run from Siskiyou station over the
recently constructed roadbed to Ashland.
The spike was driven by Col. Chas. F.
Crocker, vice-president of the Southern
Pacific railroad, shortly after the arrival
of the excursion train. Col. Crocker,
taking the golden 6pike in hand, made a
few appropriate remarks, opening with,
"I hold in my hand the golden spike,'
and joined in iron bonds of commercial
relationship two great states with three
well directed blows, heard in San Fran
cisco, Portland, ' Salem and many other
cities and towns of the coast, simultane
ous with the striking ef the hammer
Hesitating after the spike was driven, he
said, "Well, I am about run out," and
was greeted with applause.
Ex-Congressman Horace F. Davis, of
San Francisco, then introduced Frank
M. Pixlev. editor of the San Francisco
Argonaut, who delivered an eloquent and
aoDroDriate address. At its conclusion
he presented to Governor Pennoyer
golden badge. Oregon's chief executive
responded warmly, thanking the Califor
nians for the valuable souvenir, and then
delivered the following address:
"Representatives of the various mu
nicipalities of California, ladies and gen
tlemen, and fellow citizens : It is proper
at the completion of a great work of this
character, wbicn completion n as just now
been signalized by the driving of the last
swke which connects the uregon
California with the California A Oregon
railroad, and which now, for the$rst time
in the history of these two states, brings
them into close overland commercial in
tercoorse. that the representatives of
such states should meet as we are now
met to exchange congratulations over
the event and extend to each other the 1
right hand ef fellowship and friendly
greeting.
"Representatives of California, we
have now a poo our own soil bid you a
right hearty welcome to Oregon, coming
as you do to celebrate tin completion of
the railroad which will hereafter bind the
two states in bands of more intimate
business relations. These states have
heretofore been separated by a formida
ble mountain barrier and the only practi
cable means et intercommunication have
have been by way of the open sea. En
ergy, persevere nee and capital, deserving
of high credit, have now practically re
moved this barrier, and from this time
forward the people of the two states will
be placed in nearer social and com merria)
fellowship and the people of Oregon and
California have every reason to feel
kindly towards each other and to make
every effort to still farther strengthen
their friendly connections. For nearly
forty years California and Oregon have
been the caly two of the American sister
hood of states whose homes nave been
far removed from the others. If or years
the people of those states were removed
from their friends in the other states by a
vast stretch of mountains and desert
waste, and their most speedy means of
intercourse were by the long and tedious
travel by sea. Thus jointly isolated
from the people of the other states, they
have always regarded themselves
as neighbors and friends, al
though they themselves were sep
arated from each other by the
lordlv range of the Swkiyous. And
now, as in the completion of this inter
state railroad, the means of commercial
intercourse will be greatly increased, so
may the feeling of amity still further be
strengthened. The cituens of Oregon,
as I am assured the citizens of California
do. welcome every improvement which
will have a tendency to subserve the
b.isiness interests of" both states. And
the citizens of both states can and lo
welcome them as can the people of no
other portion of our country, lor the rea
son that for long years they felt the need
of them bv their deprivation. The early
pioneers of Oregon and California, who
were here a quarter of a century and
more asfo. who came to this country bv
the tedious route by the sea, or the still
more tedious route across the plains, and
who for long years have lived in compar
ative isolation, rejoice at all such im
provement. They most heartily wel
come any and all advances in the means
hv which their produce can reacn toe
market, and hence tbey do, as we all do,
rejoice over the completion of every new
avenue of commerce which is opened up
within our state. These senue should
be for the mutual benefit of alL Tbey
should be for the benefit of those who
hnild them as well as for the benefit of
those who patronize them, and under
wise and wholesome regulations tbey can
be so. Let ns all, then, join in congratu
lations upon Luis aupicKJu wawi,
which is destined to mark a new era in
the history of the two conjoined states.
Let us hope that this enterprise just now
completed may be advantageous not only
to the projectors, bnt also to the patrons
of the road. Let us hope that the two
sister states of the Pacific, now that the
mountain wall of partition between them
baa been virtually removed, may as one
people move irresistibly forward in all
the laudable pursuits of a higher civiliza
tion, that they may hare no other con
tention but that which prompts each to
outdo the other in all those efforts which
tend to expand the . wealth and dignify
the condition of all classes of its citizens,
and diffuse among all the inestimable
blessings of a great and a free government."
