Few comic operas can compare with it,
The story Is clearly told. The plot per-

and the whole scheme an entertaining
one. and all this without much fuss
and feathers. The music is graceful
and enforced. MIR. DeKoven says many
good things, though his first act is hard
~ on plane with the last two. a mu-
steal Nordau would describe Mr.. DeKo-
ven as suffering from galleryitis, or ter
ror of the vox populi, which he knows
very well is not voX Del, but in Rob
Roy" the composer has made good use
of some OF the familiar Scotch airs. and
the music has more of a distinctive
character than most that Mr.. DeKoven
writes.
The dialogue is bright and often wit
ty. The Interpretation is quite ade-
quate. Florence Wolcott as Janet is
trim, neat. precise. Arthur Donaldson
sang the title role with nuency and
good dramatic instinct Mettie Atherton
made n pretty Highland lassie, and
sang truly within the powers of her

"STONE OF SCONE."

Tho Enterprising schoolboy Who Slept In
the Coronation Chair.
1t is long walk from the dining
room of the Westminster school to the
coronation chair, which stands behind
the old stone screen just back Of the
altar in the abbey, but there is an in
teresting connection between the two.
This chair, as is we'll known, is a rude,
heavy oak chair, much worn by time
1t contains the "Stone of Scone" and
was made by the order of Edward I in
1897, and every English sovereign since
then has sat in it to be crowned.
A stout railing in front of the chair
restraints tho crowd Of visitors from
coming near. but il they were allowed
to examine it as closely as was for
tunate enough to do they would find
cut boldly into the solid oak seat in
such sprawling letters as the school
boys knife makes upon his desk, 'P.
Abbott slept in this chair Jan. 4, 1901"
p. Abbott, it seems, was Westminster
schoolboy, and tradition, which there
is every reason to believe is true, tells
that he made wager with school
mate that he dare stay in the abbey all
night alone.
In order to win his wager he hid in
some corner Of the old building until
the doors were locked for the night and
thus was left alone there. Fearing,
however, that when morning came the
boy with whom he had made the bet
would disbelieve his statement that he
had won it, he determined to have
some proof of the fact, and SO spent the
hours of the early morning in carving
ON the coronation chair the sentence
which, oven now, nearly q century aft
or. bears witness for him. 1t is disap-
pointing that tho tradition does not
record just what form and amount Of
punishment was visited upon the lad
for his escapade, and that history does
not tell us of his later years. wonder
whether the courage and grit which
this deed manifested foretold an ener-
getic, successful life or was dissipated
in mere bravado. Max Bennett Thrash

PUMlCE STONE.

Thirty Merchants Arc Engaged In the
Trade ON the Island of Liparl.
Pumico, as is well known, Is of vol
canic origin, being trachytic lava
which has been rendered light by the
escape of gases when in molten state.
1t is found on most Of the shores Of the
Tyrhenian sea and elsewhere, but is at
present almost exclusively obtained
from the little island Of Lipari. Most of
the volcanoes of Lipari have elected
pumaceous rocks, but tho best stone is
all the product Of one mountain. Monte
Chirica, nearly 1000 feet In height,
with its two accessory craters. The dis
trict in which the pumice is excavated
covers I'm area Of three square miles. 1t
has been calculated that about 1000
hands are engaged in this industry, 600
of whom are employed in extricating
the mineral.
Pumice is brought to the surface in
largo blocks or in baskets and Is carried
thus either to the neighboring village
or to the seashore to be taken there In
boats The supply is said to be prac-
tically inexhaustible. Pumice is, used
not merely for securing and cleansing
purposes, but also for polishing In nu-
merous trades, hence the fact that the
powdered pumice exported exceeds. In
weight the block pumice. Between 20
and 80 merchants are engaged in the
pumice trade ON the island. London

Andrew jackson Versus w. ). Bryan.

Mr.. Bryan says cheaper dollar
would be better for tho working classes,
but Andrew Jackson said in his last
message: Engaged from day to day in
their useful tolls, they do not perceive
that, although their wages are nominally
the same or even somewhat higher,
they are greatly reduced, in fact. by
the rapid increase Of spurious cur
rency. which. as it appears to make
money abound, they are at first inclined
to consider blessing. **@ 1t is not
until the prices Of the necessaries of life
become SO dear that the laboring classes
cannot supply their wants ont Of their
wages that their wages rise. ="
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1896-10-07

Mr.. Bryan tells the farmers that free
coinage Of silver will give them cheap
dollars with which to Fay their debts. e
Mr.. Bryan tells city workingmen that
free coinage of silver will raise the
metal to $1.29 per ounce. bringing the
silver dollar to par with the gold dollar,
thus giving city workingmen another
dollar as good Us the present one with
which to buy the farmers products.
That is to say, to the farmer tho
Bryan silver dollar is to be II cheap dol
lar to pay debts with. To city labor the
Bryan dollar is to be dollar of high
purchasing power to buy with.
Free coinage Of silver cannot produce
these two dollars. II can produce only
one of tho two. Why do not would be
supporters of Mr.. Bryan ask him which
dollar he really meansi Both the farmer,
who wants to pay debts, and the work
ingman, who must buy farm produce,
are interested in having this question
