Thursday evening the doors of El Pa-
so's new opera house were for the first
time thrown open to the public. Our
I local columns gave a fair description of
J the inaugural performance. The build-
ing is a credit to any city and the interior
decorations of this temple of the drama
are equal to any in the state. Mr. Myar,
the capitalist, to whose munificence our
public owes this structure, was present at
the initial performance.
It was a merry occasion for El Paso,
whose people had been for over a year
deprived of the pleasure afforded by
theatrical representations. They were
pleased to see their wants so well sup-
plied. They enjoyed the thought that
the future would, unlike the past, fur-
nish frequent festivals of music and his-
trionic art. They gloried in the acquisi-
tion of so comfortable and complete play
house. Every face was lighted with a
cheerful smile. It was an hour of hap-
piness and the poetry of the occasion was
only marred by a prosaic address which
was too long to prove acceptable before
the central attraction ot the evening—
the play.
" TM play, the play is the thing,''
was the uppermost thought in every mind
during the protracted argument of the
local legal light. His words were wise
and his thoughts were thorough, but they
could claim few followers who would ac-
cept them as a guide. A play had grown
to be nearly a curiosity in El Puso, and
o»ly this oration stood between the audi-
| dence and their coveted prize.
Their patience, however, was soon re-
warded and the curtain rose and disclos-
ed the muninic stage where, to their de-
light, man and woman mingled in the
walks of pictured life.
The opening was a grand success.
An elegant line of samples of Christ-
mas and New Years cards are now on
exhibition at the Times office.
Gentlemen who expect to call New
Years, and all wanting to send out cards
for both holidays should call at once and
leave orders.
It will take a week to get the cards
after the order has been made.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe

Ex-Secretary Hoi,comb, of the Amer-
ican Legation at Pckin, says that, out of
the 400,000,000 members of the Chinese
empire, fully 1500,000.000 spend less than
11.50 a month for food.
An exchange says: "The X. L. T
Cattle company in the Panhandle of Tex
at is to have an electric patent applied to
the barbed wire fence which surrounds
120,000 cattle. The patent is a process
by which a current of electricity is passed
either through the barbed wire or through
ajplain galvanized wire. The first con-
tact will be enough to prove to any ani-
mal that the lence ii loaded. The cur
rent will pass through the top wire. Tel-
ephonic communication can also be made
from auy point to headquarters by at-
taching a ground wire and a small tele
phone, one of which will be carried by
each cowboy. Any break in the fence
will also be noted in headquarters by the
constant ringing of a bell.

UNPRECEDENTED ATTRACTION
OVFS HALF A MILLION D1BTKBUTED.
In most unbounded terms wejmust pub
licly endorse the action of the managers
of our new opera house in excluding pub-
lic prostitutes from the choice parts of
the theater and limiting their attendance
only to the balcony. Thus the father of
a family may feel safe that in reserving
seats for his wife or daughters that they
are not brought in contact with the
demi-monde. These women should be
kept aloof and not bo given privileges
that alone belong to ladies. This is cus-
tomary throughout the country and there
ia no reason to make an exception of El
Paso. Managers Carpenter & Hinges
should receive the support of all our
good citizens in their endeavor to make
the Myar opera house first class in every
respeot

The peddler offered to sell it for $5, but there
