Gilbert &
‘The GondoHero, or the King of Bar
ataria,” was produced at the Savoy
theatre, London, on Saturday night.
The whimsicality of the plot com¬
pares favorably with the beet of its
predecessors from Gilbert’s pen, says
a cablegram. The story runs thus:
Donno Caselda, daughter of the
Duke of Plata Toro, a grand but im-
pecunious Spanish hidalgo, has been
betrothed at the early age of six
months to the infant King of the Is¬
land of Barataria.
The island is tom by religious and
social dissension, and to insure the
safety of the infant heir to the throne,
Don Alhanfora del Bbler, Grand In¬
quisitor of Spain; abducts him and
places him under the care of a Vene¬
tian gondolier, who, blessed with a
baby of his own, and cursed by an
insatiable love ol ardent liquor,
mixes the royal and plebeian infante
ho hopelessly that nobody can tell
which is which except their nurse.
A PERFECTLY LOVELY LADY.
As she, at the moment when the
curtain arises on ths first act, is the
"jj* ^Sce
in the mountains < around .........a— Cardova,”
and as both oithe possible monarchs
have complicated matters each by
getting married to a charming young
lady °f bis own apparent rank, just
at the moment when the old Don
brings his daughter to Venice to rati¬
fy her marriage and as furthermore
the daughter profoundly objects to
the whole arrangement and has se¬
cretly betrothed herself to Luis, the
only man who continues to follow
his father’s fortunes—he is referred
to by the aged noble as his suite-
matters are in a high state of com¬
plication.
> THE HAPPY TERMINATION.
However, by the sagacity ol Don
Alhambra del Bolero a modus viven-
di Is arrived at, both gondoliers sail
away to Barataria, and establish a
joint empire, like a kind of regal
Siamese twins. There wiVes and
their affianced brkiefollow them
confusion grows worse
is real King of Barataria.
This condition of course

conducted comic opera. The
gondoliers retain their brides,
Donna Casilda marries Luiz,
Bhe has loved in his days of
and with him ascends the throne

DANGEROUS BUT SUCCESSFUL.
Upon this sufficiently simple
unpretentious theme Gilbert
woven a bewildering embroidery
complicated fun. The plot

hour in the second act., to
room for the introduction of a

thusiastically ratified by the

Sheffield, England, I«ee.
English novels, barring tbi se by Dickens,
have been more widely rea l and admired
In America than “Put Yourself in His
Place” by Charles Reade. 1 doubt wheth
er it is generally underetoc d that the ex
citing, sensational events in the story
of occurrences in this town many year*
ago. Take the great flood, which Mir,
Reads described so vividly—the account
in the book is an accurate record of what
happened here some years before the
story was written. Sheffield is the scene
of the story wherever labor troubles are
dealt with.
Betides the main incidents at least one
of the important characters has a coun¬
terpart in real life. Everybody remem¬
bers and admires the independent young
editor, “Holdfast.” His real name was
William Leng, and he still lives and is
the ________ editor of The Sheffield Telegraph.
Years ago the queen, in recognition of
his distinguished services to politics,
made him a knight, so that hejs now
Sir William Leng. He continues his in¬
dependent work, and his pen today is no
less vigorous than it was when Reade
told about it. A regular feature of his
paper is a letter to the editor over the
signature “Arcturus.” Sir William him¬
self is “Arcturus,” and everybody knows
it, but by means of the letter he gives a
freer vent to his opinions as a man than
he might care to express as an editor.
A brother of Sir William, John Leng,
edits a powerful paper in Scotland. It
is said that no two men could be more
unlike. In physical appearance there
is no suggestion of brotherhood. Men¬
tally they are vigorous and aggressive,
but while Sir William is a deeply grained
Conservative, not to say a rank Tory,
John is the broadest kind of a Liberal.
They are radically opposed to each other
on all political questions. Moreover, John
smokes almost incessantly and Sir Will¬
iam abhors tobacco. John Leng was
elected to parliament last September as a
Gladstonian. Bis personal strength was
so great that the Conservatives made no
more than a formal opposition.

~HINTg TO HOUSE BUILDERS.
Sound Sense for Those Who Wtah to Have
Their Own Him**.
A]
Indianapolis, Dec. 26.—No one should
ever build a frame house without cover¬
ing the outside walls with sheathing and
paper as well as with weather boarding.
No one can afford to build a home with¬
out such protection from the heat and
cold. There are other things which may
be omitted and pay for tbe cost of
sheathing and paper. Parts of the
building may be omitted which may be
added to it in time. For instance, color¬
ed glass, outside or inside shutters or a
porch. making
In a contract for a house it is
well to bear in mind that a bond or a
contract will not supply the deficiencies
of knowledge or good intentions. If a
builder does not know how to do good
work a bond or a carefully prepared
contract will not supply the deficiency.
If his intentions are not good such in¬
struments may save a certain amount of
money, but not worry and vexation.
A shingle roof will last twenty-five or
thirty years if carefully put on. To be
thus lasting its pitch should be not lees
than thirty-five degrees, and the shingles
should be dipped in oil, paint or stain
before being put on. The sheathing on
which they are placed should be open as
to tbe joints, so that the air may have
access to them from beneath. Where
