citizens Of this city or in all over $l00, 900. OF
course eyery fuel dealer will add the expense
Of extra ca1tfng and weighing to the price Of
the fuel.
Aside from the enormous cost Of the thing,
It seems inyidious to select one class OF deal
cts from the business community. and subject
them to this surveillance. The purchaser can
measure cord Of wood at his house rs easily
| as the Inspector, or can measure it at his
stand, and In the matter Of coal why not leaYe
it at the option Of The buyer to hare it re.
weighed or not, According to the proposed
ordinance even though the purchaser should
ece his coal weighed or weigh It himself, still
1t must 60 through the Inspectors hands.
The Sherman House and some other hotels
! and lnrge consumers Of coal bare their own
eca1es. Still, according to this ordinance,
they must do away with their own scales aud
pay Mayor shcrman's friend to Weigh their
coal for them!
The opcra-I vespr1 SIcIlianf.
Verdi's Opera Of the sc1cilian Vespers, pro-
dncod for the first time In this city, On Sat-
urday evening, attracted a very large and
very brilliant audlence-one Of the finest of
the season. The cast Of the principal charac-
| ters was: John Of Pnocida, Susini; Guido,
| Amodio; Arrigo, Briguoli; Elena, Lorini
As whole, the opera Was very successful, al
though it was badly mutf1ated, so that it was
! next to m lmpossibi1ity to follow
1t by the 1ibretto. Both the or
chcstra and choruscs also seemed
too thin to give the true effects Of the beautiful
ha1monics.. The stage and It's resources were
moreover insufficient, but VIC cannot complain.
Aslong as We hare no Opera House We must
be content with crumbs. There is much
sound and fury in The Vespers, and much
splendid harmony and wonderful handling
Of choral effects. The Instrumentation, Us
outlined By the orehestra, is beautiful The
manner differs from any oiher Of Verdis
works, and Is Il decided improvement, and the
Vespcrs may be set down as.Verdi's mas:
ter piece. Lorinl sang beautifully throughout
and developed all the resources Of her fine
voice. She eyinced also decided spirit md
energy and in action as well as yocalization
filed ont her role very acccptably. The aria
i. alto mar WAS very finely done, and the duo
In tie sixth scene with Brignoli called down
| loud applause. In the beautiful duo at the
finale Of the second scene, third act, she sang
and gained rapturons encore The Il dou
me grato Was also eneo.ed. Lorini achieved
decided triumph, singing tefongnout IN
manner Which aston1shed her Warmest ad-
mirerf.
'susini Tns as superb as ever, and sang the
o nio Palermo in manner absolutely electri.
fing. Amodio also did ezcellently, although
the part was rather ungratefuL
Brignoiitor once threw himself into his char
acter, and gang with an energy and freedom
VIC have not seen him display for q long time.
His splendid voice told in every effort,
and added greatly to. the Charm Of
the opesa- The grand finale was very
impressive, and the magnificent choral
accompaniment forming . back ground
to the melodies from such singers as susinf,
Lorini, Amodio and Brigpolf, was . vocal ure.
ecntation never exce11ed here. As we have
said before, ne are thankful for eyen m out
line Of this beautiful opera.
