WILL sCHUsTER IN DENVER.
Leading Newspapers of Denver RecOg-
nILe His Work by Warm Praise.

Will Schuster continues to win gratify-
ing recognition in his work as a member of
the Tavary Opera company. The other
baritone soloist of the company has recent
ly been i'll, but Mr.. Schuster has taken his
roles and carried out the double assign
ment very successfully. The Tavary COM
pany was in Denver, Colo, last week and
the following comments are from leading
newspapers of that city:
"Mr. Schuster's powerful voice and en-
ergetic manner made his Escamillo one of
the features of the week.
"Seldom has The heart bowed down
been sung so finely in this city as it was by
w. II. Schuster as Count Arnheim. He
possesses baritone voice of fine range, mu-
sical quality, depth and resonance, with
thorough artistic method. All his work
last night was characterized by care and
conscientiousness."
"Last night Mr.. w. II. Schuster had
one of the opportunities of the week to
display his rich baritone voice. AS Count
Arnheim this was first made manifest in
the short but heroic Soldiers life solo,
which he sang in martial spirit with per-
feet attack and strength. He has a sym
pathetic, magnetic voice, and an ability
to articulate his words that is refreshing.
His perfect method was most apparent
in The heart bowed down. He intelli-
gently interpreted the scene with Airline in
the last act, never failing to give due at
tention to sympathetic rendition of the
score. Mr.. Schuster is a valuable member
of the Tavary company"
A Brattleboro boy who is now in Denver
writes that Mr.. Schuster sprained an ankle
badly by stepping upon banana peel and
falling on the post-oflice steps in Denver.
Schuster tainted, and had to be carried to
physician. 1t was necessary for him,
however, to appear on the stage each night
after the accident. Our correspondent
adds that ''Schuster has developed into a
| good actor and had rather hear him sing
than any other member of the company,
which contains strong talent"

Important Decision Against the Bell
Telephone Company.

The Bell Telephone company got a very
unwelcome surprise in the United States
circuit court at Boston Tuesday, when
Judge Carpenter issued a decree declaring
void the Berliner patent, which, next to
the Bell patent, is the most important pa
tent ever owned by the Bell company, COW
ering at it does the use of the carbon or
microphone contact used in the long-dis-
tance transmission of speech. The gov
ernment attacked this patent on two
grounds; first, unreasonable delay, for a
period of IA years, in its issue; second,
that similar patent was granted to Emile
Berliner in 1880.
The importance of this patent to the
Bell company will be realized when it, is
stated that the two basic patents on the
telephone, involving the magnetic trans
mitter and magnetic receiver have already
expired, and consequently anyone is at lib
eTty to use telephone of that description,
which is good for short distances. 1t was
by the ownership of the Berliner patent
that the Bell company held monopoly OF
the long-distance service. The throwing
out of this patent will open this field to
whomsoever has the courage to enter it.
There are many minor patents still held by
the Bell company, which will probably en-
able it for some time to come to put the
best telephone on the market, but with the
main difficulty out of the way perfect in
strument without these particular improve
ments will soon be devised. Had the BeT-
liner patent been sustained it would have
continued the Bell monopoly for another
| II years. 1t must be remembered how
ever, that the Bell company possesses a
great and almost insuperable advantage in
the fact that it already holds the field with
a complete and efficient telephone service
The company has the right of appeal tc

Another New England story Writer


One of the most original and charming
books for little folk, which has been
brought out this season, is "When Molly
was SIX written by Miss Eliza Orne
White of Brookline, Mass, and published
by Houghton, Mlllin Il Co. The little
girl Molly is neither too naughty nor too
good to be interesting. She is Just an ev-
eryday, human little girl who has a very
good time in twelve different ways at some
time in each of the twelve months of the
year whose birthday was the same as her
own. The book proves the versatility of
its author, from whose pen have previously
come "Mss Brooks" and "Winterbor-
ough," novels of New England life which
have a flavor as distinctive and as individ-
ual as anything in our recent fiction. Of
"Miss., Brooks" it must, indeed, be said,
that it is amusing, in the best sense of that
word, to a degree which few current
novels have equaled. With a wit which is
at once incisive and appreciative, but
which has not the least sting of malice,
the author punctures the calm compacency
and sober provincialism of those "best
people" of Boston, to whom that city rep
resents the sum of all human desire, and
to live outside of which would mean exile
worse than death. In "Winterborough"
an entirely different phase of New Eng
land life is shown-the life of an inland
village, narrowed and contracted in many
ways, it is true, and magnifying little
thingsIovermuch, but nevertheless with its
own interests and individual good deeds
and attainments by no means unworthy
of emulation. The peculiarity of Miss
Whites work in this respect is that in
stead ofEdelving in byways to find extreme
and eccentric types to portray, she takes
the average life of today and finds in it
| types and coloring entirely adequate for
her picture. Readers who have a good
memory for the best short stories will re-
call "a Browning courtship," pub
lished in the Atlantic Monthly some eight
years ago, as one to which they give a high
place in the list, but they may not recall,
till now reminded of the fact, that It's
author was Eliza Orne White.
By heredty Miss White comes rightfully
by her gifts. She is the granddaughter OF
| Chester Harding, one of the most accom-
plished of American portrait painters, and
her father is veteran in the ranks of Uni,
tartan ministers, known and beloved by a
goodly fellowship of frien1s and former
parishiOners, not few of whom grew tC
manhood and womanhood under his de-
voted and kindly care.

AT reception and banquet given by
the West Side Republican club of New
York last week in honor of the great
moral and political victory in that city,
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu-
sets, who was the principal speaker, told
what he believed to be the duty of the Re-
publicans in Congress in the present ses-
sion, under the situation as developed by
the November elections. Mr.. Lodge said,
in substance, that the Republicans are not
going to be the responsible party in power
before the 4th of March, 1897. If any sud-
den emergency arises, like that of the silver
situation in 1898, it must be met in broad
and bipartisan spirit, just as the Repub-
licans then acted but the country has had
enough of mischievous legislation and agi-
tating debates and Republicans are not
called upon to help the Democrats out with
new tariff or sample currency bills. On
the contrary it should be their policy to
prevent such disturbances, pass the appro-
pration bills, land then 20 to the people
and ask them for the complete power
which alone will enable us to pass arg pos
itiVe measures

Dr. Parkhurst has already started on a
new crusade in New York city, this time
against the horrible condition, as regards
cleanliness and sanitation, of the poorer
class of tenement houses. Strange as it
seems, Trinity church corporation, with its
real property, estimated to be worth S14O,-
100000, is one of the very worst offenders
in this respect, statistics showing that the
death rate in its tenements is 80 per cent
higher than the general death rate of the
CITY.

under the title of "The humiliating report
of the strike commission" Mr.. Robinson
reviews the events of the strike and points
out the many misstatements and inaccura-
cies contained in the report.

Congressman Powers is quoted by the
Boston Journal as saying that he is pre-
pairing new bankruptcy bill which he
will present to Congress. 1t is modelled
on the lines of the Torrey bill, which was
defeated in Congress by flibustering. Mr..
Powers believes that bankruptcy law
should be part of our national system of
collecting debts, the same as in England.
Mr.. Powers also expresses himself as much
interested in the bill now pending for the
survey of a ship canal from the st. Law
renee river to the outlet of Lake Cham
plain, a distance of "A miles.

The Democratic Party Minus Unity.
From the Boston Herald.

The Democrats are not without honest
and able public men. The difficulty is,
they do not lead the party. Indeed, no.
body leads it. The honest men in it have
no more influence than the men who are
selfish and rascally; in some states the
honest men are even subordinated to the
latter. The result is an absence of any
thing like unity.
