ROBIN HOOD.
The Great American Comic Opera at
the Los Angeles.

ne GIeaL AucIlCdu SOlulC OPCAo a.
the Los Angeles.
A tuneful opera, full of fun and
picturesque in its setting, is Robin
Hood, the comic opera by the American
composer, Reginald de Koven, the book
by another American newspaper man,
Smith, both of Chicago. 1t is the best
work in this line yet done this side the
Atlantic, and ranks fully up to the best
of Gilbert and sullivan's comic operas.
The three scenes, the fair at Noting
ham, Sherwood forest, and the Jail and
church at Nottingham, filed with the
merry men of Robin Hood, people at
the fair, and going to the wedding,
afford scope for some fine coloring. The
lines are full of good things, and
the movement has abundance of
fun. HI. c.. Barnabee, as the
sheriff, George B. rockingham,
as Friar Tuck and Josephine Bartlett as
Dame burden, bear off the comic
roles to perfection. Barnabee and
rockingham bubble over with fun on
their own account at every turn, and
with such opportunities as their parts
afford, they keep the laughing at an up
roarious pitch all through the opera.
The music is of light, sparkling,
tuneful nature, with many charmingly
pretty gems in the score. The cross
bow song in the second act affords Eu-
gene Cowles an opportunity to display
the depth, power and mellowness OF his
rich bass to perfection. So does the
armurer's song in the third act. The
Nut Brown Ale song in the second act,
with its ringing chorus, brings w. H.
Mcdonald in the front to great advant-
age, and the tinker's chorus in the same
act brings in the male voices, and
especially Peter Longs, with fine
effect. In several places, notably in a
quartette in the second act and in a
duet in the third, Tom Karl's clear
tenor is heard charmingly sweet and
true. Miss Juliette Corden was Maid
Marion, and a most fascinating heroine
she made. She sang with exquisite
sweetness. carrying the house by storm.
Miss Flora Finlayson was very effective
as Allan-a-Dale, and Miss Grace Reals
was pleasing as Annabel. The chorus
is we'll trained to sing totether with
precision, and produces a fine body OF
sound. 1t is not at all wonderful that
the Bostonians are taking the country
by storm with this excellent American
opera. The orchestra is great
enhancement of the enjoyment, SO true
is it as an accompaniment to the voices.
The New Los Angeles was jammed full
in every nook and corner with one OF the
very largest, most brilliant and most
critically appreciative audiences ever
seen in this city. 1t will be source of
pleasure to the people here to know
that the Bostonians have signed to ap-
pear at the Los Angeles again next year.
Tonight the event of the week, first
appearance of Marie Stone, Tessie Bart
lett Davis and Edwin Hoff in the great
opera Suzette, one of the Bostonians'
greatest successes. Suzette is a most
delightfully."- funny opera, with plenty Of
catchy music.

No walking on the Track.

One Maine railroad finds that the
practice of walking on the track in the
winter time may cause a partial sus-
pension of its operations. People tread
the snow so hard upon the tracks of the
Monson railroad that the company an
nounces that it will be unable to keep its
branches open this winter unless the
practice ceases. This appeal ought to
bring about the result most to be desired

UNHAPPY WIVES AND HUSBANDS.

An English paper several years ago
stated that in the year 1854 there were
in London 1882 runaway wives; 2348
runaway husbands 4175 married people
legally divorced 7,345 living in open
warfare; 1920 living in private mis-
understandings 81, $50 living in mutual
Indifference; while only 3175 were re-
garded as happy; 127 nearly happy, and
13 perfectly happy.
An American philosopher, after study
ing the facts and circumstances of the
cases, has come to the conclusion that
all this discord in families is the off
spring of disease in some form or an
other, and that in the great majority of
cases diseases may be entirely removed
and husbands and wives made entirely
happy. 1t has been done in innumera-
BILE instances, and what has been done
heretofore may be repeated hereafter.
The following are few cases where
whole families have been made per-
fectly happy by removal of the diseases
which produced discord.

THAT BOARD OF TRADE.

A correspondent had something to
board of trade, and reader of his re-
marks might be led to believe that the
institution is dead and buried. But it
isn't; it is only waiting for the clouds
of the recent general shortage of money
to roll by. This has not been promis-
ing winter for getting new enterprises
under way, and so little, if anything,
has been done by the board. But things
are settling down gradually and before
long it will be possible to work with
fair prospect Of results.
The first business of the board should
be to ascertain what inducements the
town has to offer to comers. We have
water-power going to waste, sites for
factories that can be bought, people
willing to put property and money into
manufacturing, materials of one sort
and another th"t might lie utilized; but
no human being could tell a man who
might come here tomorrow for the pur-
Y pose OF starting manufactory anything
definite about these matters. Now that
is all wrong. The board of trade or
somebody else ought to look up such
points and be prepared to say on mo-
ment's notice what is to be had here by
the searcher after a place to set up a
factory-how much power is available
and what it will cost and whether the
town or village will give it or the use of
it.; where mills can be located, where
money can be had if needed. If neces-
sary, let town or village meetings be
called to discuss these matters and take
action; then, having clear case to pre-
sent, the board could inform the world
of the advantages of the town and stand
chance of inducing the establishment
here of something or other.

CONGRESS ENDED.

The 5lst Congress came to an end
Wednesday noon. In several directions
its work was noteworthy. The number
Of bills introduced in the House was
II 033 and in the Senate 5123. The House
passed 174S bills and the Senate 1905.
The great debates of the two sessions
were over the Mckinley tariff bill, the
silver bill and the elections bill. Twelve
members of the House have died and
three Senators.
In the House the customary vote of
thanks to the speaker was moved just at
the close. The RI publicans all voted for
it and the Democrats against it. Speaker
Reed made Il characteristic speech, in
which he said, referring to what had been
accomplished:
All enumeration and praise by our
selves would be in vain. If our deeds do
not praise us our words cannot. Conf
drnt as am of the verdict of time on
" hat we have done, am still more con-
fident that the highest commentator
will be given us in future, not for what
measures we have passed, valuable as
they are, but because we haye taken so
long stride in the direction of response
Bile government. Having demonstrated
to the people that those who are elected
to do their will can do it, henceforth ex-
cuScs will not be taken for performance,
AMI government by the people will be
stronger i'll the land. Toward those who
have opposed what the majority of the
House desired, we can have no I'M
kindly or personal feelings. Whoever
Offers battle to old convictions and faiths
must expect battle, and the vigor of re-
siStance must always bear some propor-
ton to the vigor of the onset,

Monday morning was one of the cold
est of the winter. The thermometer here
stood ten below zero and in Ripton 20 be-
low. At st. Johnsbury and vicinity it
was from 25 to 40 degrees below.
Snow began falling here early Wednes-
day morning and kept at it till yester-
day. There must be now about ten
inches on the ground. At St. Johnsbury
II inches had fallen up to Wednesday
night and at Bratteboro 16 inches. 1t
drifted badly in the region of Mount
Holly on Wednesday, delaying trains, so
that the Boston mail that night did not
reach here till the New York train at
6 %.
The thermometer was below zero here
but four days in February; on ten days
it was more than 81 above, and one day
at noon it was 45 above. 1t was the
warmest February for years.

Edward ID. Barber of Chicago. Mrs. Sa-
BIN was taken sick on the 10Th Of ,I3nu.

death came. She was married in 1862 to
Professor Sabin, who was principal of
the academy at Lake Forest and teacher
of Latin in the university there from lS-
"A to 1882. A writer in the Chicago In

Hon. Charles ii. Phelps died at his
home in Burlington, Ia, on Sunday last
of pneumonia, after but brief illness.
He was a son of the late Senator S. 5.
Phelps of Middlebury and brother of
Hon. f. j. Phelps of Burlington. The
Free Press says: He was born at Mid

graduate of Middlebury college in the
class of 1913, read law with Senator Sey-
mour of Middlebury, Messrs. Wood
bridge of Vergennes and Smalley and

sided until his death. He attained dis
tinguished position at the bar and had
been for many years Judge of the cir
cult court of that State. having been re-
peatedly elected to the position. At the
last fall election he was elected for an
other term of four years without sub
stantial opposition. On the bench he
displayed eminent and unusual ability
and was noted for dispatch of business
which was both rapid and accurate. His
decisions were very rarely reversed. In
politics he was an independent and latter

Ex-Judge Seneca Haselton, the Demo-
cratic candidate, was elected mayor of
Burlington on Tuesday by majority of
3G2 over +. j. Booth, the Republican.
The result is attributed to disaffection
among the Republicans. If the discus
sion of the merits of candidates for the
Republican nomination had been as earn
est before the caucus as are the efforts of
the Free Press now to prove that Bur-
lington is Republican city, different
result might have been reached. This
appears to have been one of those cases,
not uncommon in Vermont, where men
are put up for office simply because they,
and not much of anybody else. desire to
haye themselves nominated.
