THE TANNHAEUsER MUSIC DRAMA.
Selections to Be Given at the Wagner
Opera Festival.

Selections from Tannhaeuser will be
feature of Mr.. STEMS Wagner opera festi-
val on May Z. and besides the work of the
chorus Mr.. Emil Fischer will sing basso
solos. Sousa's band will furnish the in
strumental music. The music drama Of
Tannhaeuser is more fully represented on
the programme than any other of Wagner's
works.
TIE opera of "Tannhaeuser' was written
in the years 1S44-5 and was first produced
in October of the latter year. II has been
preceded by 'Rienzf' and the Flying
Dutchman," and, like them, failed at first
TO meet with the reception the composer
had hoped. If not anticipated It's story
is based upon the Tannhaeuser legend,
which still exists in Thuringia, the site of
the famous Wartburg castle, where the
Landgraves of the thirteenth century insti-
tuted peaceful contests between the Mime
singers and the knghtly poets Wagner
was interviewer with the main facts of
the legend, the poetical contests in the
Wartburg and the eXqusitely beautiful
character of Elizabeth, the princess of the
castle, who knows the eternal mercy, and
who has the strength 10 die for his re-
demptiOn. By her martyrdom Tannhaeus-
ers wild and vehement nature Is broken.
BY her death he is freed from sin, and in
his own death he finds relief The story
is based upon the grand motive which APP
pears in others of Wagners operas, notice
ably "Lohengrin'' and ''ParsifaI' namely.
the world-old struggle between the flesh
and the spirit. and the opposing principles
of good and evil, which Goethe developed
with such astounding power in Faust"
The first scene of the second act intro
duces Elizabeth, who greets the hall in the
WartburG, which will be sung by Francesca
Guthrie Meyer In the second scene Tam
haeuser appears, and is rapturOusly well
coined by Elizabeth, TO whom he relates the
miracle of his escape from Venus The
fourth scene opens with the familiar march
and chorus and festival song is prepared.
In the third act the introduction Illus
trates Tannhaeuser's pilgrimage. In the
first scene the Pilgrims Chorus is heard,
followed by EliZabeth's prayer one of the
most strikingly beautiful numbers in the
whole work. The second scene is devoted
10 Wolfram alone and includes the ex-
quisite romance, THE Evening Star" sung
by Emil Fischer, the great basso from the
Metropolitan Opera House, New York The
last scene is occupied with Tannhaeuser's
repentance. the last effort of Venus 10 en-
tice him once more to the mountain, the
death of Elizabeth, which releases him from
her magic and Tannhaeuser's own death
The Hallelujah Chorus of the young pill
grims brings the scene to it's close. The
chorus will sing Hail Bright Above" one
of hte most beautiful choruses in the
music drama.

TORTURING ECZEMA
Editor Iowa Plain Dealer Cured of In
sufferabIe Itching and Pain by
the Cuticura Remedies.
No Less Than Five Physicians Con-
suited. Their Combined Wisdom
Followed Without Benefit.

I am sixty-six years old. In August, 1857, was
troubled with the peculiar skin disease TO which
people of my age are subject, known among
medical men as eczema. Its first appearance
was near the ankles. IL rapidly extended over
the lower extremities until my legs were nearly
one raw sore; from legs the trouble extended
across the hips, shoulders and the entire length
of the arms, the legs and arms greatly swollen
with an itching, burning pain, without cessation.
Although the best medical advice attainable was
employed, 10 less than five physicians of the
place being consulted and the prescriptions
being the result of their combined wisdom, the
disease, though apparently checked. would recur
in a few days as bad ever; during its progress
my weight fell away about twenty-five pounds.
AS an experiment began the use of CUTICURA,
following the simple and plain instructions
given with the REMEDIES, and in four weeks
found myself well, with skin soft and natural
in color, the itching and pain entirely relieved.

our artist has sketched.
This is remarkably rich and stylish
looking evening gown. composed of a
handsome cream brocade. The skirt,
which has demi train, is but slightly
flare. Two strips of the silk are gathered
on to the hips and draped loosely down
almost to the bottom, where they are
caught in with bunch of roses. and
then allowed to flow out in tiounce to
the ground. The plain pointed waist
fastens behind. and is void of trimming
save the graceful velvet drapery and a
bunch of roses in the front. Long
suede gloves complete this exceedingly
charming toilet.
The second sketch represents an ex-
tremely original gown, and one that is
eminently suitable to tall woman, it
having the bayadere stripe. The full
simple skirt is cut flare. and together
with the waist is composed of deep royal
blue silk with darker stripes. The
waist opening in the center dlscloses
to view dainty bluebell-hued chiffon
vest very much pulled. and edged
with navy jet on either side; this is also
, brought round the waist, forming points
back and front. The neck is cut in a
dashing straight line from shoulder to
shoulder. while the immense pulled
slseves of deep blue velvet are worn
down the arm, reaching to the elbow,
where they are met by long kid gloves.
Many and in great variety are the nu-
merous other evening dresses, some of
them having but slightly pointed neck
and long sleeves, mostly in silk or vel

maternal fount Mrs. From says he is
mighty smart boy and knows more than
folks think for. in spite of the fact that
the doctors say the only thing a baby
teelS during the first four weeks is hum
ger This appetite of his has added to
his weight good deal since Sept. 6,
but still he is probably the smallest
baby ever heard of.
AS he lies in his mothers lap he is
about as big as the bulk of her two
hands. His body is l6 inches long and
little more than three inches wide.
His foot is 2ls inches long. His head,
at the largest girth, measures II inches.
That would make it not quite four
inches in diameter, and baby'S head
should be as thick as lis body. The
great advantage of this kind of baby is
that it doesn't drag the life out of the
mother carrying it around, and iii just
as healthy as a big child.
Mrs. From has had experience with
babies. This is her eighteenth, and
she has borne twins and tripletS. Five
of her children were small. and they
have all lived Many of the big ones
have died. The oldest son, Frank. is
eighteen years old, and is about the
size of boy of six. He is known as the
smallest athlete in the world. He
travels with Harris circus, aud his
business name is Frank Harris. He is
as nimble and active as can be, and as
healthy as the statutes permit. He
weighs fortv-six pounds.
His brother George is fourteen years
old, and Is a little over three feet in
height,
Frank Is the mothers pet. When he
was born there was great TODD about
him. MIR. From was then driving car
in New York City on the Belt line, and
lived up in Lawrence street, near One
Hundred and Twenty-seventh. Frank
weighed less than a pound, and the
whole town was agog about him. Mrs.
From says that the Presbyterian church
in Poughkeepsie was deeply in debt,and
the ladies of the church gave
fair to try to clear off par. it. A CON-
mittee came down to see Mrs. From, and
asked her if she would exhibit the child
at the fair. 1t was IA pretty risky thing
to do with such little fellow, but she
consented, and the fair was tremen-
dous success. The debt was all paid, and,
after deducting all EXPENSES, the church
was ahead $500. rresumat Y, the ladies'
