An interrupted Opera,

Lincoln and host of notables were
present at the old National in Washington
when Norma" was given the greatest
and most impressive presentation then or
since known In America. Only one fussy
little man had noted or cared about the
hour. But in the very climax of the thun-
dering passages of Oroveso's invocation
this same fussy little man ambled In upon
tho stage, watch in hand. 1t was Manager
Leonard Grover who apologetically but
determinedly piped out: "This perform
ance must be Immediately closed. 1t is
now tomorrow morning" and then wrig-
gled himself out Of sight. Every eye, al
ready fixed upon Herman, seemed now
transfxod upon him as if for solution of
the tremendous faux pas, and Mr.. Lincoln
half arose from his chair as If to command
tho completion of Norma" But Herman
was tho real master then. Clad in his flow
ing robes, he majestically strobe to tho foot
lights. With outstretched hands in pos
ture of benediction he sang Rock of
Ages" as it will never be sung again.
Then, still standing there, he lifted his
arms with suggestive movement, the au-
dienco obediently arose, and in q moment
more the vast assemblage had silently
passed out into the street.
