which reference Is made to the fact
that the public conscience seems to have
become moribund. The fact that this
city has been misgoverned, off and on,
for years, Is one so patent to every man
that II needs no calculation. Yet there
have been very few instances where
citizens have risen in strong protest
against the acts of their public serv-

given away franchises for nothing, has
used dark lantern methods of award

there was a demand for a change he
pasted over his free trade announce

The announcement that r. f. Moore,

surprised the general public. The gen.

for some time that he would not be a

not to aspire to the higher Office. 1t

The story OF Madeleine In said to be one
OF the cleverest ever written, and indeed,
as II reads, II is. 1t all hinges on the
Legend of the Baron de Grimm, which Is
described in the following song, one of
the most beautiful numbers of the opera:
In legend OF old,
This story IL told
Concerning the tenth Baron Grimm:
II he FIVE score attain,
And single remain.
The years may roll backward for him.
II he find ere high moon,
The fifteenth Of June,
A maiden unkissed for his wife;
He'll regain on that day,
The legend doth say,
The sprinstims and beauty Of life;
With each kiss as he sips
From the pure young lips.
He'll grow ve-and-twenty years younger.
As I'd rather not die,
With this legend I'll try
To live just one hundred years longer.
The Baron finds this maiden in Made
liene, and In three kisses has become a
handsome youth OF twenty-five, but when
Madeline tries to kiss him again the fact
flashes over him that another kiss will
take off the only twenty-five years left
him, or wipe him off the face of the
earth; out of this distressing state of
affairs comes the romance of the opera as
we'll as the comedy, and the audience
never knows till the last minute how the
story turns out.
