Chauncoy Olcott has never had a better burk with which to ride tho waves of pop ular favor than "Sweet lnnlsciirra," In which ho appeared at tho Lyceum last night before nn audience that would lie un Inspiration to any actor or singing comedian that ever trod tho boards. It wns large, sympathetic and with Its ap plause was kciuicus to a fault. Mr. Ol cott was handsome, graceful, engaging and sang a number of songs that were particularly suited to his sweet tenor volco In a manner that won all kinds of tributes of admiration from the audience. In tho matter of scenic embellishment "Sweet Innlscarru" Is In tho front rank of Irish dramas. The second act laid In Glen Fall Is particularly effectlvo and a flno example of what tho stage carpen ter and scenic urtlst can accomplish. A lot of tomfoolery Introduced in this act Is tho weak part of tho performance. It Is Mr. Olcott's trlbuto to tho gallery no doubt and probably unswers a useful pur pose In that respect, but it's In bad tusto nevertheless. "The Old Fashioned Mother" and "Sweet Inntscurrn" wore received with great tn vor last night. They arc two of tha sweetest songs that Mr. Olcott bus In his repertoire. By spcclnl request Mr. Olcott sang last night Sir Arthur Sullivan's "The Sailor's Grave," which wab re ceived with such a tumult of applause at thu Maine benefit In New York Sunday night when rendered by Mr. Olcott. It was sung In a splendid manner. "Swoot Innb'carra" will bo repented at the Lyceum tonight. The Power ol the Press. That sterling melodrama, "Tho Power of the Press," was given a flno presenta tion at tho Academy of Music last nlgrtt by tho King Dramatic company. It is a drama requiring an elaborate stage set ting and In that respect It was never seen to better advantago In this city tlwa It was last night. In tho afternoon "Tho Paymaster" wus produced. This afternoon "The Lady ot Lyons' will bo produced, and tonight "The Wages of Sin." The Linden. If all tho modern plays were merged Into one, probably no more pathetlu story would bo told or a play produced that would have such a claim upon the puol.c as "t'nclo Tom's Cabin," as presented by tho Linden stock company. Rebecca Flnberg has swung herself Into the good graces ot several largo audiences this week at tho linden. AIlco Kemp ns Topsy stands out clear and distinct. Mr. McKlnloy Is a model Uncle Tom, nnd as tho cruel Lagreo abuses him In a merci less way tho indignation of the audlenco Is aroused to the highest pitch. Manager Brooks has wisely decided to keep the play on tho entire week. A -plr-lted bicycle contest Is being conducted among the young lady patrons. Follow ing Is a list of tho.o In the lead.

Instruction Sent lo ounty fonunls" slnni'rt tiv I'rolrnsnr Rothrncli. Professor J. T. Rothrock. state for estry' commissioner, hah forwarded to the county commissioners a copy of tho law relating to the protection of the forests of the state against destruc tion by fires, and providing for the appointment of officers to ferret out and bring to punishment all persons or cor porations who wilfully cause tho burn ing of timber lands. The expense of enforcing th'o law Is to be divided be tween the state and county, and Is not to exceed $.'00 per annum. The ac companying letter gives the commis sioners further instructions in refer ence to the matter: "It is he desire of this office to have this law executed with as little expense In the several counties of lhl com monwealth, and to the commonwealth Itself, as Is possible to do It efficiently r.nd vigorously. I would therefore sug gest that no person bo appointed for u period longer than tltoso spring months, now at hand, In which the usu al forest turnings occur. After the woods become green, destructive forest fires "nre by no means common, unless the summer is one of unusual drought. It would therefore be a useless waste of money to have detectives under pay al such times. Furthermore, if tho per se n, or persons, appointed in the spring prove to be Inefficient. It would be fol ly, or worse, to appoint him or them in the autumn. ','You will observe that the number of officers to be appointed, and the area given to each one as his field of obser vation, Is left to your discretion, as It widely may be. It may happen that there are townships In your county which forest fires seldom allllct, and It would therefore be a waste of money to place them under official supervision. "In accordance with tne provisions of tho act of assemhly approved tho 11th day of April. 1897. we will later In the scojioii ask for Information relative to forest fires In your county."
