PUBLIC SERVICE b | COMMISSION READY UR LIGHT INQUIRY Public Hearings on Union Electric’s Rates Will Be- gin Next Week. NEW SCHEDULE LIKELY

Body Has Facts Which Will ‘Enable It to Make Such - Changes as Needed. PROPERTY IS VALUED Facts Brought Out in Litiga- tion Will. Be Utilized in Making Decision. The St. Louis Public Service Commission will begin public hearings next week on the val- vation of the physical properties and rates of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. The com- mission has been ready for some time to proceed with the public hearings, having completed its of the company’s properties, but has been waiting on the officials of the company, | Members of the commission decline to forecast their conclu- sion, maintaining that they are sitting as judges and that it would be improper to give out decisions or impressions in ad- vance of the completion of their investigations, The commission has before it now the January and July bills of the 23,000 con- gather data for establishing new rate schedules. The fact that the commission is Working otit new rate schedules sig- nifles that the November rate schedule, put in effect in 1907 by former President Powelson, and which caused widespread dissatisfaction among consumers, will have to go. Schedules Are Complicated. These schedules are so complicated that consumers cannot select equitable rates, nor can they, after receiving their bills, check them up except with the as- sistance of an expert. One of the big questions that will de- velop during the public ‘hearings will be the valuation of the physical properties of the company. The company is heav- lly capitalized and bonded and it is expected that its officials will undertake to maintain before the commission that it ought to be allowed to earn dividends Oo all of its capital and bonds. It is understood there is wide vari- ance between valuation figures submit- ted by experts employed by the com- pany and those employed by the com- mission, Besides, the commission has made its own valuations on every piece of machinery, every pole, pound of wire and other property of the company. Its values are based on the tangible proper- ty the company now.owns, and does not include any valuations added by rea- son of high finance. Facts Before Commission. The facts regarding the capitalization of the company, as brought out in the testimony in the Morgan-Jones suit, are all before the commission. It was shown in this suit that the North American Co., which owned Un- ‘on Electric, bought the Laclede Power Co. for $8,000,000, and in turn sold it to Union Electric for. $4,000,000. Former President Powelson, testifying in that suit, said he recommended the purchase of the Laclede Power Co. at $4,000,000, but denied that he knew that the North American Co. had bought it for $3,000,000. ‘rie actual value of this plant, at the time of its purchase, was shown to be not over $1,500,000. Members of the commission decline to say how much of the tangible assets of this company they found in their in- vestigations, but the experts who testi- fied in the Morgan-Jones suit said $1,500,000 would be high. In a case of that kind $2,500,000 would have to be knocked out of the valuations of the Properties as made by the company. Property Is Appraised. Union Electric engaged Price, Water- house & Co., expert accountants, to go over its books and make reports; which have been submitted to the commission. These reports state that the capitaliza- tion of the company is nat in excess of the actual cost of the properties. West- ermann & Co; made similar investiga- tions for the Public Service Commis- sion. The commission will fix a valuation upon which the company will be allowed to earn dividends. That valuation wil be based upon the actual value of th properties, and stocks and bonds will not be considered. It is probable that the commission's valuation, to be definitely fixed after full public hearings on all items, will be con- siderably below the valuations fixed by the company, and that, consequently lower rates will be recommended.

WATERLOO MAYOR TAKES MANY With HIM IN DOWNFALL Fred Jobusch, Trusted by All, Trusted All Others and Lost, Fortune. Mayor Fred Jobusch, Pooh-Bah ‘of Waterloo, Il, the most trusted man in Monroe County; is - bankrupt, and widows and orphans who brought him their savings to keep for them are the greatest sufferers from his downfall. A score who intrusted their small for- tunes to him are reduced te want in their old age, with only the scant pros- pect of recovering 20 or 2% per cent of their losses. And yet most of them cannot find it of Jobusch by censuring him as the cause of their own woes, as they know he failed because he trusted other as they trusted him. They trusted him be- cause they knew he had a good heart. He trusted others for the same reason. Helped the Unfortunate. The goods on the shelves of his gen- eral store were handed out freely to every poor person who came to him with a story of his need. He ‘‘carried’’ the farmers of the «american Bettom and took chattel mortgages on their next seagon’s crops. The floods came and washed away the crops and the mortgages, and Jobusch kept‘them from want. through the rigors of another winter. “Always he heped for a year ef good crops ahd no fiogds, and even for two or three geod seasons in succes- sion. Then the farmers would pay him what they owed him and he could square himself with these whese money, given inte his keeping, enabled him to trust the others. But the good: sea- sons did not come and his business went ‘ from bad to worse. He was Treasurer of School District No. 23. He was expected to loan the school funds on good real estate se- curity. There was an application for a loan and Jobusch said he gid not have the money. He was called before the school trustees and he admitted to them that he was unable to produce $8500 of the school funds, |. The next day everybody knew that Fred Jobusch was facing ruin. Women who had intrusted their all to him flocked to his store and demanded their money. He told them, sadly, that’ he did not have it. They wept and berated him. .He bowed bis head ang accepted it all as his due. , Files Suit in Bankruptcy. There was nothing left to him but vol- untary bankruptcy. He filed the ac- knowledgment of his insolvency and was adjudged a bankrupt in the Fedéral Court at East St. Louis. He gave. his abilities as about $60,000 and his tangi- ble property, including hig home, as of the value of about $20,000, with anoth- er $12,000 of very doubtfy) credit, and store accounts. He was adjudicated a bankrupt and the creditors held a meeting, and Albert Gauen, Ceunty Clerk of Monroe County, was selected as trustee. Mr Gauen now has charge of the affairs of the bank- rupt.

HADLEY 10 HOLD BALLOTS UNTIL NEXT LEGISLATURE

Governor Declares Stone’s Impossible Demands Are Offensive and Ridiculous, and Shows De- termination for Recount. of Vote.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. x. JEFFERSON CITY,” Feb. 22.—Gov. Hadley dismissed Senator Stone’s coun- ter proposition for a Hpoount of the bal- lots cast for United States Senator this morning as unworthy of notice and an- nounced his intentions of having the ballots held until the next Legislature if this. can be legally. done. Then, in connection. with amendments to the primary election laws, a way can be found, the Governor said, to make a count. If this should show fraud, the matter, he says, can be carried to the United States Senate for its decision. The Gov- ernor is ready to have his vote for Gov- ernor recounted, if Cowherd or his friends .can: show any good reason for a recount. The Governor's statement, in part, fol- lows: * “It took just one sentence of nine words for Gov. Folk to give all the con- sent necessary, so far as he was con- eerned, to obtain a recount of the bal- lets in the senatorial primary. Senator Stone has used 10,000 words and columns of nowspeper space and he has not con- sented yet. As soon as one of his prop- ositions is accepted, he proposes an- other. Proposition Is Offensive. “After three days’ deliberation, in a 4000-word statement, he today suggests a number of new, impossible and ridicu- lous conditions. He now asks that if a4 recount is to be had, that it be by a suit in court; which he knows could not be maintained, and asks that I re- sign and pay the-costs of the recount if it appears that only 14,804 votes, or less, were illegally counted In hig fa. yor in 8t. Louis alone. “Such a proposition would be offen. sive were it not ridiculous.- It is his office, not mine, that is in controversy, If a proceeding ie instituted to test nis right to coritinue in the office of Uniteq States Senator, it will be before the United States Senate, and not before any court. “That frauds were committed in his favor in St. Loula everybody knows

| who is familiar with the facts, because more votes were counted in his favor in many preeincts than there were Dem- ocratic ballots, How many votes count- ed in his favor were illegal, only a re- count will show. Vaworthy of a Senator “Such propositions as he now " makes are unworthy of a United States Sen- ator. Champ Clark evidently knew what } he was talking about and whom he was talking about when he said: ‘Stone is in and fs going to stay in.’ “T: realize that further efforts to se- cure a recount of these votes by agree- ment are uséless. I will ask the boards of election commissioners in Kansas City and St. Louis to keep these bal- lots, if they can legally do so, until the next session of the Legislature. And then, "in connection with the considera- tion of me 9 PE to the present pri- mary election law, a way may be found by which these votes can be legally counted. If ‘the recount shows an Il- legal majority in Senator Stone’s favor, the contést can be carried to the United States Senate. “Senator Stone asks in his last state- ment if I am willing to have a recount of the votes In St. Louis on Governor. Most assuredly, yes, and throughout the entire State, particularly in Kansas City, and even by Democratic election com- missioners. If Cowherd, or anybody else, can show any. good reasons why this vote should be recounted, I will be glad to see it done. And if such a recount should be had I trust that the present Democratic State officers will consent that, the vote on their offices be re- counted at the same time. Woald Repeal Primary Law. ‘T want no office with a title which IT am not willing .to subject to the most careful investigation. And if a recount of the votes In the senatorial primary is ever obtained, 1 will be giad to see the votes for Governor and other. State officials counted at the same time and everybody abide by the t. : Although this controversy may have seemed tq some & partisan and useless one, I hope that it has ronnie eye a useful purpose by oa

The clothing was purchased in a day’s shopping in St. Louls Monday. Mrs. Hausher had: her purchases in a suit case in her buggy. When she reached Laclede and Lemay Ferry roads, she missed it. Supposing it had dropped out, Mrs. Haushed turned back. She retraced her way for half a mile and noticed foot- prints in the snow. She saw that the tracks had doubled back, and, whipping her horse to a gallop, she followed thern. In a few minutes Mrs. Hausher saw two men with her sult case between them. They started to run. The suit case was such a handicap that they

threw it {nto the front yard of Mrs. La’ Salle, at Hoffmeister and Laclede roads. Mrs. Hausher recovered it and went home. Constable Bobring has a description of the men, who are said to be known in the neighborhood of Laclede and Hoffmeister roads. ‘COLDS: CURED.

Rion! MEMBERS Ur PARLIAMENT TARE NEW COURSE Decline to Use Whip They Hold for Fear of Hurting Home. Rule Cause. By Associated Press. LONDON, Feb. 22.—The political at- mosphere continued heavy when Par- liament: reassembled. this afternoon, but a ray of hope appeared with the an- nouncement that the Nationalists at a meeting earlier in the day had decided not to move an amendment to the ad- dress in reply to the speech from the throne. The text of the Nationalists’ resolu- tion follows: ‘Resolved, That having regard for the supreme importance of the constitution- al struggle going on between the two Houses of.Parliament and being con- vinted that the primary business of this Parliament was to act on the mandate given in the general election and pro- eeed forthwith to limit the veto power now exercised by the House of Lords over all progressive legislation, the Irish party decides not to complicate that great issue by moving an amend- ment to the address, or by balloting for bills and motions during the present \session.”’ The decision was accepted generally in the lobbies to mean that although John Redmond, the Nationalist leader, had rendered judgment against the Gov- ernment, he and his followers had de- cided to defer the execution of the sen- tence and not to throw out the Cabinet over the budget, while abstaining from supporting the financial measure as they abstained in the last Parliamert. Home rule for Ireland is the stake fur which the Nationalists are playing, and they realize that it. would cease to be a live issue immediately upon the resigna- tion-er defeat of the Government.

100 SURGEONS St MARVELOUS CURES BY NEW METnOD St. Louis Subjects of Famous Chicagoan Are Exhibited at Clinic. | As testimony of modern surgical! skill, Miss Elsie Moeller of East St. Louis and Robert Kilpatrick of 8112 Vulcan street, St. Louis, bared their arms Mon- day night and exhibited them@o 100 phy- sicilans, members of the East St. Louis Medical Society, at a lecture on ‘Acute Diseases of the Joints,’”’ by Dr. John B. Murphy, surgeon-general of the Mercy Hospital, Chicago, originator of the op- eration of arthroplasty for the forma- tion of new joints, and inventor of the world-famed Murphy button used in in- testinal surgery. “In acute diseases of the joints of the body the old methods used in many cases result in permanent stiff joints,”’ Dr. hurphy told the physicians. ~ ‘‘This is unnecessary and must be_ stopped. When these cases reach you, instead of it being treated as a medical case at first, you must treat it as a medical] and surgical case, and the result will be that stiff joints will be a thing of the past. ‘ “Many pains in the joints nowadays are attributed to rheumatism, but they are not rheumatic pains. Every pain in a joint does not indicate rheumatism. If it is treated as rheumatism a stiff joint will be the result. If the diagnosis be correct and surgical treatment given the case it would result'in a permanent cure and give the patient the benefit of muscular action. Physicians must be made to. understand that mistakes in diagnosis result in much human suffer- ing.”’ Miss Moeller, whose sicor date was restored by Dr. Murphy after an opera- tion at the. Mercy Hospital, was _ in- jured 15 years age in a Texas cycione. The. operation was performed 11 years after her elbow became stiff after med- ical treatment. Robert Kilpatrick's el- bow became. stiff after treatment 10 years ago when he fell from a horse. The operation which restored the mus- cular action of his arm by Dr. Murphy was the first successful similar opera- tion in the history of the world. Dr. Murphy’s lecture was a feature of the annual banquet of the East St. Louis Medical Society. Dr. “O. J. Cul- bertson presided at the banquet in Dr. Murphy's honor. The distinguished visitor was intro- duced by Dr. J. L. Wiggins, president of the Tilinois State Medical Society. Dr. G. 8. Rainey of Salem, IIL, president of the Southérn Illinois Medical Society and friend of William Jennings Bryan, attended the banquet. Monday after- noon Dr. Murphy conducted a clinic at the Henrietta Hospital, East St. Louis.

Hyde, against whom a charge of having poisoned Col. Thomas H. Swope and his nephew, Chrisman Swope, re- cently was placed by attorneys for the Swope estate, will be asked to appear before the grand jury that is investigat- ing the deaths of the Swopes. This was made known here today by Prose- cuting Attorney Conkling. Mr. Conkling said that Dr. Hyde will not be commanded to appear before the grand jury, but will be merely invited, The invitations was made as the result of a recently published statement of Dr. Hyde's in which he declared he was anxious for a full investigation of the Swope deaths and that he would give such assistance as lay in his power. The time for the visit of Dr. Hyde to the grand jury room will be left to his own convenience, At the Coroner’s inquest, Dr. Hyde, on the advice of counsel, refused to take the stand. Whether Dr. Hyde will ac- cept the invitation of Prosecutor Conk- ling probably depends on the advice of his attorneys. Attorney Frank P.. Walsh is out of the city and Attorney Cleary is. -re- ported to be confined to his home by illness.

Fat Defeating Extraordinary ARGAREX

Margaret Knolly SLENDER Margaret Knolly, ‘now, if you please. The fascinating leading lady of the Bijou, now more fascinating than ever, as- tonished all her friends on Broadway, the other day by presenting to their admiring gaze a svyelt and willowy form in place of the plump, not to say fat, outlines with which she gaily sailed away.to new triumphs and foreign shores last January. After a good deal of diplomatic cross-examination from interested fat acquaintances the secret way cautiously whispered to a few dear friends, with the result that everybody knows it now. It was not exercise, nor fasting, nor sea alm. nor worry about her new venture that had ‘brought about this wonderful wil- lowy change in the charming Margaret; no, none of these, nothing but a simple mixture which all good druggists are familiar with and can supply at small cost, to-wit: One-half ounce Marmola, one-half ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, and three and one-half ounces Peppermint Water. “Grown folks need a teaspoonful after meals and at bed- tinse,’’ explained the now slender Ma?garet. “It is simply wonderful. It takes off the fat quickly, as much a8 a pound a day, and keeps it off. You can eat what you like, too. In that respect it is unlike anything of the kind [ ever heard of, and besides it has another splendid feature—it is entirely harmiess, and will not cause wrinkles. | think it “‘s about ag essential a toilet article for the woman who is fat and wants to get thinner as face powder. In order to get the ' best ‘ results, -however, you. should. buy the Marmola in the original package and mix it in with the other two ingredients after you get home.’’—ADY.

Alike in Defeat and Victory. “The artifices of political manipula- tors were to him contemptible. Alike in defeat and victory, whether as mili- tary General or Chief Magistrate, nothing could seduce or daunt or af- frigit him or shake that edherence to the principles of fair dealing and hon- orable execution of duty’ which made him the embodiment of the cause of liberty. ‘Tt always will be the glory of this nation that, get its very beginning, it was demonstrated in the character of Washington that the ideals of repre- sentative government are not unattain- uble. That for which Washington must be most admired is that in which he can be most easily followed. It is not given to other men to exhibit his mili- tary genius, his power of command or the majesty of his personal dignity, Sut it is permitted to every public officer, great or small, whether in narrow or wide range of official activity, in vil- lage board, in common council, in leg- islative body or in administrative or executive place, to illustrate that con- ception. of public duty and that unfall- ing fealty to the public interest which was the dominant character of Wash- ingten’s hfe. Check ef Evil Greatest Work. “The most significant feature of our present life is not the widespread ex- istence of evil, but the organized ef- forts to check it; not the regrettable display of avarice, but the determina- tion, to protect the public against over-reaching cupidity; not the waste of lives in luxurious idleness, but ‘the magnitude of fruitful endeavor; not the prevalence of vice and misery; but the extension of reformatory agencies and the organization of philanthropy; not civic indifference, however lament- able may be its scope, but the widen- ing demands of public spirit and the more emphatic assertion of community rights; not political manipulation, but the indignation of the people at its abuses; not faithless législators and ad- ministrative officials, but the resent- ment which they arouse and the nar- rowing range of their illicit activities. “We shall not avoid mistakes, but in the main neither’ inflammatory and demagogical appeal nor the dishonest arguments of special privilege will con- trol the final outcome. Of first impor- tance is that we should respect the in- stitutions of our country and love the ‘ways of calm reason. This despite ‘the occasional effervegcences’ which Wash- ington foresaw, is after all, the Ameri- can habit.’

{CITY IN SILENCE TOASTS MEMORY OF WASHINGTON “The Day We Celebrate” was a toast to which St. Louis responded silently, if at all, Tuesday. The banks were closed, the nothing-doing sign was on the doors of courtrooms and city offices, jand every street car carried two small flags, one over the rigtit-hand porte cochere of its vestibule, the other in a@ corresponding teins on the “blind” side, opposite, And that was all chase was to show St. Louisans that such a person as the father of his country. All, except | that every vacant lot had a snow fort and a juvenile imitation of revolutionary battles, and that a few of our leading citizens had their hatchets out, William Charles Schutz, member of the City Council, was one of the cheer- ful choppers. “I cannot tell a lie,”” he remarked as he got off a car in front of the city ‘hall. ‘That great big hole in the bridge arbitrary was chopped by me, and if it falls over on the Ter- minal, they can’t say I didn’t warn them.” Harry B. Hawes was testing the tem- per of his blade on a dollar-gas tree. “T'll have it down to 45 or 50, if some- | body doesn’t stop me,” he exclaimed. W. K. Kavanaugh had the new secre- ‘tary of the Deep Waterways Assoocja- ‘tien along. to view the test of his hatchet. “Doesn't she make the chips fiy lively, Tom?” he remarked smilingly as he hacked away at the stout, but de- caying trunk of opposition to the 14-foot channel.

Washington was altogether human. He had some of the faults as well as most of the virtues of the race. In youth he figured in many love affairs. He had a flerce temper, uspally under control. In moments of great rage his profanity was terrible. He was exceedingly close, though just, in business mat- ters. He would go to law for a shilling that was his due, but he would spare himself no incon- venience to convey to its rightful owner a much smaller sum. He liked to play cards-.and he took delight in a horserace. He was fond of dress and very particular about it. He was a good, though not a high liver. Although temperate in the use of wine, he had a red nose. Those appear to be the sum of the blemishes, however trifling they may be, that have been re- yealed in a character to which all the world does homage. It is his character, nevertheless, which makes the Washington of everlasting fame. There may have been greater generals and greater statesmen, but there never was a more majestic character. In patience, in wisdom, in caution, in patriotism, in consideration for others and in ab- solute unselfishness he stands alone among the men who have conquered empires. History fur- nishes no counterpart to the scene when Wash- ington, resigning his commission to Congress, presented a carefully itemized account of his per- sonal expenses during eight years of war and re- fused to secept compensation of any kind for services that freed a people and established a con- tinental republic. In his case for the first time in such circumstances there were no princely grants of money, no decorations, no titles, and no suggestion of diadems and scepters. Here rests Washington's immortality. Priceless honor at. tends priceless labors. Renouncing all, he gained ali. In a day given to money-madness, when wealth in land and money in prospect seem to determine the station and activities of men; when money is sought in public life as well as in private life for its own sake and without much regard for sources or consequences, Americans have more need than ever before to take to heart this en virtue of their first President. =] * - e Not only will the Terminal bill ¢ompromise old claims and agreements but political prospects and a few reputations for devotion to the public wel- fare. i i i i THE ONE POSSIBLE GAIN. Senator Stone and his organs are muddling the waters to cover the Senator’s escape from the un- pleasant predicament in which his controversy with Gov. Hadley placed him. They are diverting attention from the main point—the theft of the senatorial nomination—by denouncing Gov. Had- ley for countenancing a violation of law in the failure to burn the ballots. When Senator Stone thought the ballots were burned he denounced Gov. Hadley for charging frauds in the senatorial] primary after the opportunity for disproving his charges was destroyed. When he found the bal- lots had not been destroyed and that a recount is possible with his consent, he is shrieking de- nunciations of Gov. Hadley for not burning the ballots. We do not approve any violation of | law, but délay in the burning of the ballots is so small a matter compared with the steal- ing of an election that it is not to be mentioned in the sdme breath. One is the neglect of an official function which has no criminal nor menacing significance. The other ig a blow at the foundation of free government by the commission of frauds which defeat the will of the people. That Senator Stone was elected by the Legislature does ‘not in anywise detract from the enormity of the offence of stuff- ing the ballot boxes to assure his nomination. The Democratic majority in the Legislature elected the man whose selection by the people was indicated by the returnc of the senatorial primary. But the Stone-Hadley controversy has lost in- terest. Gov. Hadley has gained the only point possible for him to gain—the proof that Senator Stone has no confidence the” honesty of the returns by which he was ‘nominated and would rather hold his office than have the truth about the senatorial primary brought to light. Under no cireumstances, as the Post-Dispatch said when the recount proposal was made, would Senator Stone consent to it. He is afraid, But Gov. Hadley, is turning to the one good.end which may be accomplished by the controversy—the amending of the senatorial primary law for the purpose of preventing frauds and punishing those guilty of them. The Stone-Folk primary was a mockery. We want no more of that kind. We want an honest expression of the voters’ will or none. ag tence lek, « nulea’ enttias/ Weak.

To thé £aitor of the Post-Diapatch. vance in prices prices hag been denounced in violent terms by almost everybody. ‘Now, consider the same conditions applied to real estate, and we call that “prosperity” (7). The greed) of the landlord who demands high rents, and of the land owner who boosts the price of his waste land, or of improved business centers, is commended, and eapital ig invited from other places to come and in~ vest with us because of this inflation, this pros- perity (7). We are trying to secure a “million,’’ by increasing the cost of living and the cost of homes. If a failroad or factory site is needed, greedy specu- lators buy up the. desired property and demand big prices. This is one of the “inducements” for the million, : The “million” will not be composed of rich men, its greatest number-will be ‘“‘workers,’’ and that class is not looking for a location where food is high and hard to get, or where the land prices (prosperity) precludes the possibility of his getting a home. L. R. MIGNER. -———" The High-Price Heroes. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. . We think Rudolph Jaeschke has a chance to get recognition for the workers with an income of $32 & month as heroes if he organizes them, We see that by organizing the hero meat starvers are recog- nized, even to the extent that investigators and oth- ers @ppointed by the authorities and highly compen- sated at the expense of the cers of wealth are busy. Of course that will incr@se prices, but then the heroism will be so much greater. We know that Roosevelt, the most popular President of the United States, increased the taxation on the producers of wealth to an extent none other would have dared; still he kept his popularity. None, of course, will ad= mit that that has anything to do with high prices, except my dear Harriman and company, and these only in private, not in public, So, although Jaeschke may have some .opposition from those who insist that his heroes should save and become millionaires, still we think that he may get recognition even to the extent that his hero producers may feel incentive to increase their number, lower their income and in- crease their heroism. We think it would be a good way to let the heroes wear medals, graded $32, $31 and so on, and if the United States does not thereby become a land of heroes, something else may happen. SIXTY, Honor St. Patrick. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would respectfully suggest to the members of the Irish-Catholic Parade Union the revival of a public demonstration in honor of St. Patrick. I am an ad- yocate of the time-honored custom of a parade on St. Patrick's day, and believe it unwise to discontinue the practice. In my opinion the parade should be re- vived this year. I am sure there are enough loyal Irish-Americans to be found in St. Louis to form 4 gigantic parade, and with a little encouragement on the part of the pastors of the different parishes they would come out in large.round numbers and make St. Patrick’s day, 1910, a record-breaker parade, In the past years the laity have left all the burden on the shoulders of the clergy. This should not be. Clergy and people should unite hand and heart this year to make a grand and successful turn-out and thereby show their love and fidelity to one of God’s greatest saints. Let us all get together and wear the green on Bt. Patrick’s day, and never let a year pass without honoring St. Patrick by a big parade in the future. A DAUGHTER OF ERIN. Increased Cost of Clothing. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, In today’s Post-Dispatch I read an amusing article by Merchant, blaming organized labor for present high cost of living. Five or six years ago a large percentage of ready-made clothing was union made. Then the clothing manufacturers made a gigantic fight against the Garment Workers’ Union and their label had a setback. A suit that cost $15 five years ago, including the Garment Workers’ Union jabel, now costs $20 without it. What's the answer? W. L. COCHRANE. Labor and High Prices. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch ~, In reply to ‘‘Merchant’s’’ letter in Saturday even- ing’s issue, ‘‘Merchant”’ ought to pir.ch himself to see if he is awake. Here are the statistics given out Dy the Bureau of Commerce and Labor: That the aver- age wage worker produces $2500 in one year, of which he gets for his share $500 in wages. This includes all kinds of labor, union or nonunion. Mr. Mer- chant, please show me the union man or men who are getting one-half of what they produce at these figures, I will say this for the benefit of “‘Mer- chant,”’ that the union man is the only class of toil- ers who receive ea fair day’s pay for a fair day's toil, In regard to the high prices, it is a well-known fact that certain things manufactured and made in the United States are sold for from 20 to 4 per cent cheaper in England than here in the United States. Why not let us, the producers, get these things from 20 per cent to 40 per cent cheaper and let the foreign countries pay more. Mr. Merehant, if these ofly-tongue4d, high tariff, get- rich-quick schemers would keep their platform prom- ises we would both have a few dollars in the rosta! Savings Bank. A. K. Republican Pledges. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Let not the Republican party deceive us by: d¢- claring it is carrying out all of its 1908 pledges. One plank in the Republican platform of 1908 reads; ‘Wwe favor the establishment of a postal savings bank for the convenience of the people and encouragement of thrift.” Are the Republicans telling the truth? Have they passed any such bill? Will not men who lie to get your votes steal your votes and your liberties they need to to rule? Is there any honor in an or- ganization that will boldly Ne to you this way? ‘i'ne Republican leaders take the voters to be fools. And how much are they mistaken? How many who voted the Republican ticket read the platform? Not one in 500. The leaders know this. They know how easy it is to deceive a lot of blind dupes. What ge you think of the party in control, anyway? There are more such pledges that were ignored. Stick it under the noses of your Republican neighbors and ask them about it. GEORGE B, CROBS, A Neat Little Problem. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In letter signed “‘J.," of Feb. 18th, I notice he seems to think that extravagance and the use of liquor and luxuries are responsible for the high cost of living; and goes on to say, “That if the working people would ‘cut out’ liquor, luxuries and other unnecessa- ries, they would not only have money enough to live decently and hygienically all the year round by work- ing six months a year, but would have sufficient to bulld a bank account” for old age. He must be a good mathematician to have come to such conclusion after a study of the cost of living. I agree that the work- 7 A KITCHEN MELLENNIUM. From the New York World. A writer in McClure’s Magazine throws a ray of Nght on the situation in the domestic labor market. We have a servant problem, it appears, “because industry is modern and the home me- diaeval in its organigation.’”” And the home is mediaeval ‘“‘because of the lack of mechanical appliances and _ labor- saving devices.”’ “the Patent’ Office in Washington is filled with devices that would reduce all housework to a matter of pushing but- tons.”’ It will be as good as wishing in a fairy tale when the new system is uni- versally employed. One push for win- dow-washing, another for dusting the front room, a third to set the family laundry a-going. In case of unexpected company to tea, a pressure of a disk to the left will stir up the hot biscuit. A delicate mechanical combination will turn out, the cireuit being duly closed, such pies as mother never used to make. The danger in this regime of devices will be rather of an oversupply than of a famine in housemaids, What gentle laborer is going to hang back from any kitchen where the only thing to do will be to nail every button in fast and take a day off, confident that the beds will be made, the rugs will be beaten and all the machinery of home will revolve in reguiat, routine order without the lifting of a weary finger? nae and CANT HELP WINNING. From the New York Evening Post. A prominent New York Democrat, speaking recently of the outlook for his party in this State, said: ‘Yes, it does look as if we couldn’t help winning this year. Of course, we shall do our best to prevent having a victory thrust upon us. Our leaders may be counted upon to display the greatest ingenuity and re-| sourcefuiness in organizing defeat, and it may be that they wil go rise to the emergency as to push away a triumph which there now seems no way of es- caping.” This forecast is already in the way of being borne out. The Hon. “Fin- ; gy” Conners is throwing himself gal- lantly into the breach and preparing to! make the fight of his life against the re- organizing and strengthening of the New York Democracy. His advance fulmi- nations from Florida this morning show what powerful and almost invincible. allies the Republican party has in the} persons of those whose management has wrecked the Democratic party, and who promise to continue to stay in charge of the ruins they have made.

They are stimulants, but seem to give great comfort, real or | ? imaginary, to many people. ; The comforting effect is due partly to the hot water in which they. are fused, partly to the agreeable odor and partly to the theine and caffeine which they respectively contain. These last two are mild stimulants to the circulation, brain cells and kidneys. It is useless to condemn utterly a habit so deeply rooted as coffee drinking.

Consequently, people of weak digestion should avoid using téa with their meals, or, if tea is taken, eat first, leaving the tea drinking whtil after, thus giving the saliva time to do its work. That great tea drinking people, the Chinése, know best how to make tea, which- they do by pouring boiling water upon the dry ‘tea leaves. In a few moments the tea is ready to use and is at its best. By cooking it the delicious odor is lost, passing off in the steam of boiling. The old’ rule for making tea (allowing one teaspoonful to a person and one for the pot, and then boiling it) is too dreadful to even think of nowadays, wher flavor rather than strength is the thing to desire in tea. ‘Milk taken in tea adds to the difficulty of digestion, as the milk becomes leathery after its cohtact with the tannin.

> SKETCHED FROM 4 LIF EB MISS NJARY- YC: CAUSLAND John Stimues Asserts Depu- ties Pursued Him When He Tried to Escape. a RE TAKEN AT AGE OF TEN Charges He Was Beaten by Farmer and Never Was Allowed a Schooling. That Illinois county and township of- ficials aided a farmer to keep him in peonage 10 years, is the charge made by Jehn Stimues of Bethalto, Ill, in whose case a Government investigation is now being made. &timues says that twice when he conid po knger bear the treatment to which he was subjected, he attempted to run away, but was pursued by the farmer who had him in custody. Once, he says, a deputy sheriff held him at Eil- wardsville until the arrival of the fae.j- er, While another time a constable caught him at Festerburg, Lil, and re- turned him. The farmer admits he never took out adoption papers for the boy, as re- quired by the Illinois law. Eaters Scheol at 21. Stimues’ first act when he reached his twenty-first year, was to register him- self at the country school at Bethalto. While he is permitted to study in the same room with the older children, he must attend instructions with _ the youngest in the school. Stimues says that 10 years ago he was taken from the home of his aunt, a Mrs. Greninger, then living at 3603 Lindell avenue, St. Louis, by a humane officer, who took him to the home of a wealthy farmer of Bethalto. Stimues charges the farmer held him in peonage until a week and a half ago, when he came of age. Says He Was Beaten. “The humane officer told. me,” says Stimues, “that he was going ‘to take me out into the country where I would be on a farm and have all the fruit I sharply defined west boundarv of the and Make Some Think They Have Overslept 12 Hours Midnight enveloped St. Louw Tues- day morning. It was darker than mid- night, for street lamps burn at midnight. But the only light which downtown St. Louis had at going-to-work time Tves- day came from scattering store windows and from the headlights and interior lamps of lines of delayed and frequent- ly blockaded street cars. Away above one might gee a dull gray sky, which did not furnish light, but merely testified that it was technically daytime, and deterred those who might otherwise have made bets that they had oversiept by some 12 hours: Between St. Louis and the sky, lower than a balloon could fly safely, hung 4 cloud of mingled smoke and humidity, hardly stirred by a very gentle wind from the Southwest, Smoke Inspector Off Duty. The smoke was the same thai St. Louis has on almost any winter morn- ing. It eame from factories, office bulldings, stores and residences, and it stayed, in almost every case, very near the place of its origin. And the Smoke Inspector, oh, where, etc.? Councilman Schutz legislated Smoke I. Jones out of a job several months ago. But Warren A. Tyrrell, Boller Inspec- tor, Elevator Inspector and Smoke In- spector, was .not at his office in the City Hall, and the telephone exchange operator explained that the office was closed because of the legal holiday. The weather man, on the other hand, was._cight on the job, holiday or no holiday, and he was placing on Natuze its full share of the responsibility. “The humidity is 93 per cent,’’ said Forecaster Smith, “which means that the atmosphere is almost completely saturated. The normal humidity is be- low\70 per cent. This, and the lack of wind to carry the smoke away, will answer the question why it is so dark. “As I left my\ home in the West End this morning I thought it was snowing, but I changed my mind when I no- ticed that one of the supposed snow- flakes had flattened out on my cuff and left n black streak.’’ At 7 a. m. Twelfth street was the

extended until it covered the greater part of the territory east of Grand ave- nue. A slight wind from the southwest began to raise thé cloud at about 8:15, and by 9 a. m. the ordinary light of a very dul] and foggy day prevatied. ‘ Many Car Lines Blocked, On the curve at Eighteenth, Carr and ‘Biddle streets, which forms an awk- ward intersection for the Spring and Bighteenth street lines, a blockade started at about 7:40 which extended, within the next half hour to the Lee, Page, Broadway and Tower Grove lines. Motormen failed to keep the crossings clear, and cara coming close behind them caused the needless tying up of lines intersecting the blockaded ones, with general confusion and 4d lay to thousands ag the regylt ‘The Union Electric Light and Power Co. found the demand-for light so much greater than the usual morning demand that the “load” went as high as 0 per cent over the normal. Had it not been 4 holiday, Secretary Soehrer said, the demand might have been fouble the nermal, or even higher, The company met the increased requiremeats without difficulty, the secretary said.

But there is not the means of realizing those hopes. And meantime she shall not be made discontented—her girlhoed spoiled. Mother Fears She Will Have Her Head Turned (4 UT the danger is that she will KS have her head turned.” And, sure enough, when Mary came in, she could not have been distinguished as e great artist from her school girl chums. She wore the same middy blouse, the same -big black bows on her long braids, the same boyish shoes, and shoee-top skirts. But her cheeks were not so rosy and she had the full lips, the eyes with the upufted iris and droop to the lower lids and the pointed fingers, with their muscular development, which so often denotes the artist. And when we were left alone I could see she was altogether different. With great reverence, she lifted from its case the wonderful violin, a Nicolai Lupot, 113 years old, which she says responds to her 4s has noe other instru- ment she ever has touched, ‘And do you think that, even with all these advantages, you can interpret ali the sensations portrayed in the composi- tions of great masters unfil you have known something of life itself?’ 7 ERHAPS not, Of course, I R mean to know life. I am eager for tragedies and joys and all of it. I gonfess my passion for music is something I cannot explain. Ever since I was 4 years old, when my mother took me to hear Lenora Jack- son play, I have been crazy about the violin. “Before I could pronounce the word, I would saw on combs or wires or any- thing that would make a noise. Now- adays, when I play certain composi- tions, the Bach ‘Chaconne,’ for instance, I am in a state of collapse when I am through, which is not mere physica! weariness. And there is something with- in me which seems to urge me on to complete the work my good teacher, George Heerisch, who died. He was a great musician except that he was never recognized by the world. I have a crav- ing to reclaim for him that debt the world certainly owed him. “One thing I have discovered about life, judging from the opinion whieh seems to prevail, and in which I am +more learned than the many, is that musicians are not jealous of each other. Just look at all the letters I have this morning congratulating me on my work yesterday. And it is always that way. makes me play better.” Then very” solemniy, when she ob- served me sketching her, she remarked, “I wish I could draw my bow

This money was $7.35. I know because it was all I ever got and I kept it unf.j I left the farm.” The farmer Stimues accuses has been notified by Attorney Riley P.

TWO OF BOTTOMS GANG SOUGHT FOR SLASHING A “PAL” Joe McCann Says Wounds: Were Inflicted in Fight With For- mer Comrades. Policemen failed, in a four hours’ geareh Tuesday, to find two former members of the ‘‘Bottoms Gang,” sus- pected of beating und cutting Joseph McCann, # years wid, at the Pickwick Club, 2003 Washington avenue. McCann is in a serious condition at the City Hospital, with his right ear almost sev- ered from his head, ao eut five inches long on the right side of his neck and several cuts about his face, The police were notified at 5:20 a, m. Tuesday that a fight had occurrec in the Pickwick Club, conducted by Ed Rice, a former Democratic Central Com- mitteeman from the Sixth Ward. Dr. Pp, T. Krapp notified the police, short-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce ard Labor expects soon to complete his examinatien of the report made by the committee which examined the charges preferred against Labor Commissioner Charles P. Neill by Thomas R. Dawley, formerly a special agent, that much of the data gathered by the bureau touch- ing women and child labor had been cast aside as useless. Mr. Nagel said the matter had been disposed of by a former assistant secre- tary of his depazstment, Mr. MoHarg, but had been reopened at the special- request of Commissioner Neill because the integrity of the Bureau of Labor was involved in the charges made, The Secretary intimated that his --iews of the allegations made might be gath- ered from the fact that he not alone had discontinued the publications on child labor compiled at the Bureau of Labor, but had expedited the conclusion of the work on that subject conducted by Mr. Neill.

BURDENED BY SERMONS

Mrs, Arno B. Korb Charged Husband Tried to Beat Ideas Out of Her.

Because her mind was not agile enough to furnish ideas to her hus- band when he read his sermons to her, Mrs. Cora L. Korb filed suit againet the Rev. Arno B. Korb. And because her mind 4@id not decide quickly enough to leave her husband, a legal point arose which has resulted in the dis- missal of the suit in the Circuit Court by Judge Homer. Mrs. Korb determined in September of 1908 that her husband and his sermons were intolerable. She left their home in Nauvoo, Ill., and came to the home of her father, the Rev. Juhn M. Rohde at 408 Gravols avenue. But she ad- mitted on the stand that she did not fully make up her mind to Jeave her husband for good until she, had been a month at her father’s home, Thereupon Attorney Ashiy, for the Rev. Korb, pointed out that she had not become a resident of St. Louis until October and that her suit, filed Sept. 18, 1900, was invalid, as she had not been a resident of the State for e year. . Didn’t Want to Hear Sermons. But before the husband’s counsel had put forth this technicality Mrs. Korb, on the witness stand, had unburdened herself of all her grievances and wit- ness had testified and depositions were filed. “We were married in 15%,” testified Mrs. Korb, “and for a tiine all went well.

He is as big a man as | am and will weigh ounce for ounce with me in the ring today.” Wolgast is taking it easy today. He gave out his weight as 131 pounds.

Every time I would lay the cowhide onto Uncle Tom they would hiss me and.cry ‘‘wretch.”” When I caught the drift of what they were saying I went to the edge of the foot- lights and roared right at them. They ‘almost’ jumped out’ of their seats in fright. Just for fun I tried it once more and they ran out of the theater. One night in a small town in upper Pennsylvania there was a fierce snow- storm. The weather was so bad that only a few people got to the theater to see me beat up Uncle Tom. When the show was over the snowstorm had so increased in violence that it was a risk to start for the hotel. As I came off the stage I walked out to the ehtrance of the theater and there was most all of the audience waiting for a chance io dart home. A woman saw me coming and set up a yell, “Here comes that cruel man Sullivan.’’ Before the men who were with the ladies could hold them back they jumped right out into the blizzard and started on the run for home. They must have thought I still had a cowhide up my sleeve. Not one of them would take a chance on coming within 10 feet of me. Joshed by the Reporters. HE press agent with the show 7 wanted to make a newspaper feat- ure of how terrible I made the character of Lagree. ‘“Not on your life,” said the manager. “Sullivan, you try and draw that character milder. There are enough people staying away from the theater as itis. If any more stay at home we will have to get back to Boston on snow- shoes.”’ While with ‘that show I stood for 4 lot of joshing by the reporters. I al- ways had to stand for that, and I did so because I knew they were my friends. But when a Canadian tried to josh me I couldn't stand for that brand of hu- mor. I was supposed to be interviewed by a Canadian reporter, who made it appear thus: “Do you think, Mr. Sullivan, that the story of ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin’ really brought on the war?’ ‘You can search me,” I am supposed to have replied. “But we corcpiniy did give them Spaniards a run.’ Can you beat that for Canadian hu- mor? As I say, I can stand for joshing by the American reporters, but I went after that fellow.up in Canada and made him take it back. The idea of me not knowing the difference between the Civil and Spanish wars! Another fresh young fellow down in Baltimore said in a paper that the rea- son the show was called off was be- cause Eliza couldn’t escape acfoss the river on the ice, the reason being that I used up all the ice in making high- balls. Stranded on the Road. ' *tyncle Tom's UR troubles in O Cabin” almost came to a climax when we arrived at Paterson, N. J.,: to appear at the Garden Theater. That was the night of the big fire, and ‘“‘He hasn’t been home all night,’’ re- plied the barkeep, and I nearly fainted. “We are cooped up in a car down, in the yards,’’ I told him, “and we haven't had a bite. Something has to be done or I believe Little Eva will starve.”’ Aid Comes at Last. WENT back to the yards after leav- ing word for Remington to come to the rescue as soon as he arrived. He got’ home about 8. o’tlock, and it certainly was a glad sight to see him coming down those yards‘with a bottle under’ one arm. Remington usually car- ried a big bank roll, but all he had was $%. That was enough to buy breakfast and a few other things, and I told him to leave the $26. I dtvided the money among the gang and we all began to eat. I found that the negro band had -.gone away with George Watson, the negro porter, to levy an attachment on the scenery for salaries due. Later the deputy sheriffs came along and levied on the donkeys, dogs and scenery, and Uncle Tom and myself levied on the bottle of whisky. At 5 o’clock that evening Mr. Good- rich, the manager, returned with plen- ty of money and a new date. H2 squared up with the negro band, but when he went to inquire for Marks/and Little Eva, he found that they ha@ fled, having saved up enough “agree to buy tickets to Columbus, O. The remnants of the company stuck together, and after getting a new Little Eva we went to Bridgeport and played a week, No Longer a Villain. That ended my career as a villain in the show, and, to tell the truth, I was pretty glad when it was all over, Later I started out as a monologue artist, but it proved a frost. I had a jot of poor pictures which I explained in my lecture, but it didnt’ work. The people didn’t want to see me in a dress suit. They wanted me to aioe up my dukes and fight. During the lecture I talked. about a lot of things and very little about my- self. Some of my friends told me that if I'd talk mor: about myself and less about some other things I’d get more of & response. During that lecture I told about a London fog, and desefibed how a man over there was shingling a roof and he shingled five feet off the roof Onto the fog and never knew he was off the roof. The hall was in. dark- ness while I lectured, and in one town where I sprung this shingling story a fellow yelled. “That’s a bloody Irish lie.” ‘' “If you don’t believe it, my friend, I can show you the very roof, and there it is,” says I, pointing to a house in the picture of London on the screen at the |. ., BILLIARDS... _ Abie Ellison played. great three-cushion billiards againgt Martin Maley in the class A tournament at the Rex Monday night and with an average of .77 and a high run of 4, defeated his opponent, 40 to 27.’ Maley made one run of 5.

The defeat of Wray, who was tied with Kennamore and Knott for first place in the newspaper men’s straight-rall billiard tourna- ment at Péter#on's Monday, was quite 4 sur+ prise. Wray is scratch man of the t - ment. He allowed Johnson 75 points’ hand cap and the latter player won, 100 t 8.

The Kansas University basket ball team all but won the Missouri Valley conference championship when it defeated the Missouri U. five Monday night by a score of 25 to 21 at Columbia.. The only setback that the Jayhawkers received this season was at the hands of the Washington U. team last week. The lead of nsas is such that to lose the title seems almost an impossibility. — time. That satisfied the rest of the audience, if it didn’t the disturber. I also showed some pictures of fight- ers I'd defeated. One of Tug Wilson was thrown on the screen upside down, but changed at once to the right posi- tion by the operator. As the picture was being changed, a voice with con- siderable brogue in it called out: “There’s another bloody Irish trick.” tion of the blood cells which su “Po discnse FOR SSS, aneumansy Rheumatism is in reality an ge ourlshment ad Jeffries has undoubtedly done remark- able things to his outward appearance. He will have done much more to his inward strength by the. time he has finished his career in the mountains. In fact, Jeffries will have made the final effort possible to redeém an idleness of five years, when he next faces Jack Johnson.

The physicists are fond of telling us that a man does not begin to decline until he 4 years of age. But practical knowledge has brought many proofs to the contrary. Few men can ever be, at even 30 years of age, what they were physically at 22. The un- doubted zenith of any athlete is around 2% years of age, after which it is ex- perience that seems to make him im- prove—not bodily ‘advancement.

MIME “RROLLAND ment as to the merits of M. Zocchi, the new tenor then making his first St. Leuis appearance. M.)Zocchi was cast in the role of the Cheyalier des Grieux, for the sinful loving of whom Manon had gone to her death on a lonely moun- tain trail which had indeed led her across the Great Divide in this Abbe Prevost story of the French wanton who lured a priest to his seul’s damna- tion. I wondered what marvel of blindness it was that presented M. Zocchi in this part. 3 For he was anything but satisfying in his meeting of its earlier vocal re- quirements, Time and tjme again this truth became manifest. His voice was hard and flat and lacking in the tenor purity and sweetness called for by the score. It rose harsh and strained more than once. The adorable Mme. Rolland was singing Manon exquisitely, -but some of her best achievement was dimmed and deprived of its rightful acclaim because M. Zocchi could not rise with her to those heights of artistry in song, the attainment of whith sets an audience applauding and bravoing in a spirit of the finest unreserve. It was a great pity—but for this one defection the evening's delight would be flaw- lessly complete. , And then, suddenly, deemed himeelf. It was in the third act, that greatly awful scene in the Seminary of St. Sulpice, where young Des Grieux was now a priest, which ends with his dreadful surrender to Manon's wooing of him back to their guilty love of past days. Massenet’s orchestral score itself, at intervals, voices the impend- ing curse incurred by the two who fig- ure in this scene—and to the tenor, re- lentlessly as Richard Strauss himself might have done, he gives an astound- ing score such as I have never until now heard allotted to that voice. All tonal melody is gone from it. There is no hint of the lyric quality.. Its domi- nant note is the flattened note of hor- rer, the discordant utterance of de- spair, the cry of a sin-enmeshed soul that sees its own damning and is powerless to resist. The demand that must be met here is the demand for @ voice great in emotional expression, wide and sudden of range, overwhelm- ing in. volume, thrilled to its utmost with the sense of eternal tragedy— anything but the conventional tenor of opera as we have come to expect it. And it was here that Zocchi disarmed me and made me ashamed, He re- vealed a marvelous voice—not a mar- velous singing voice, but, amazing in drama, tonally true to the terrible aspect of the moment itself, so con- vincing, indeed, that, when it sounded the young priest's final ery of abandon- ment—‘‘Fer thy sake I dare all Heav- en’s vengeance can do! My iife is in thy heart! Come, Manon, I love thee!"-—the audi- ence sat appalled, as if stricken to the soul with the horror of the instant. The next moment the house shook with M. Zocchi re- applause, the curtain rose and fell and

rose again, Mme. Rolland and M, Zoc- chi were called repeatedly to the foot- lights, and the biggest triumph of the night then came inte existence. And I knew, at last, why Zocchi had been cast as Des Grieux. Nevertheless, remembering the earlier disappointment, and that it was here alone M. Zocoht contented us, we turn to Mme. Rolland as the greatly satisfy- ing figure of the performance. She merges herself into Manon until you for- get the artist in the artistic creation, The opera's first act, which, like that of ‘La Boheme,” js of the most joyous comedy, reveals in Manon a delightful- ly naive, bewitching and lureful crea-~ ture, lark-throated and vital with the instinct for love. In the second act, living with Des Grieux in. Paris, she is the embodiment of feminine youth, Ss ’ a ‘ ‘se Ae +s ; . i Be : My life is in thine eyes! ¥ : — Ps " EE LOOP nang | minds of tast night’s audien PEC ETRY 2 Yon Mme. Rolland commended her- | self with very genuine distinction. M. Layolles is fortunate in her possession as a member of his company, and I look forward to her “Lakme” with high expectancy. Next in the order of merit, both vo- cally. and dramatically, I place the impressive old Comte des Grieux of M. Cargue's excellent presentation, and the young Lescaut, cousin to Manon, of M. Chadel, a finished creation in comedy, with the Bretigny of M. Coulon and the Guillot of M. Geofray pleasingly ca- pable. The minor roles were well taken, the orchestra, undér M. Tartanac’s di- rection, so greatly distinguished itself in its interpretation of the Massenet score that I find special delight in this opportunity to*make acknowledgment of the. pleasure resultant from that fact.
