"Isle of Spice."
Miss Leslie Leigh is a new prima
donna to be heard this season in
B. C. Whitney's piquant musical
mixture, the "Isle of Spice." This
is said to be the best real comic
.opera given *the stage in recent
years, and Miss Leigh brings to the
role,youth, beauty, and a voice of
rare loveliness. This young singer,
to whom prima donna hono:s have
come before she has reached her
twentieth birthday, is the daughter
of a noted physician Herr Von
Leigh, for many year's:director of
the orchestra of McVicker's Thea
tre, Chicago. Her mother wa; a
famous cone:rt and oratoricai siing
Sand to her 'daughter she be
queathed not only a glorious voice
of true lyric soprano; range and
.quality, but also beauty of face and
form. Miss Leigh was sent abroad
while very young and placed in :he
care of "Marchesi," -that famous
"molder of prima donnas," .who
trained the voices of Melba, Eames
and DeLussan. MVadame Mar
chesi predicted triumphs for the
little American, who was soon in
ggat demand for operatic roles.
This will be her first appearance in
this city, and- her petite brunette
tye f beauty, combined witir her
acity gd youthi&dI.cbarm,*makes
ghe dintj dole ,of Teresa in ;the
"fsle of Spice" . especially appro
priate for her. The "Isle of Spice"
win~ be presented at the Opera
House on March 31st.

The steamer Valencia, which was
en route from San Francisco. with
94 passengers and a crew of 6o,
went ashore at midnight near Vic
'oria, B. C.. during a thick fog and
a large number were drowned
when attempting to leave the ship.
One boat's 'crew reached Cape
Beale at 3 o'clock this afternoon,
and nine men got ashore near the
telegraph hut, about 15~ miles from
the lighthouse.
T1he men report terrible scenes.
One woman dropped her child into
the sea when trying to hand it to
her husband, wl.o was in one of the
boats.
A refractory Irishman, in jail,
named Dennis McGinnis, refused
to work. The keeper saidl to him:
"McGinnis. you go to work or to
the pump." "Niver" replied the
Irishman.
A second time the keeper ordlered
McGinnis to work. but he refused
to budge an inch. "Now, for the
last time. McGinnis,'' exclaimed the
keeper; "you go to work or to the
pump." "Niver. sir." said .\IcCin
nis, straightening up to the full
dignity of a man. "Faith. Tir, I'
lave the jail first."
