grimage. The scene is one of extraor-
binary power, and calls for the highest
vocal and dramatic qualities, in order
to make it effective. From this point
on, the tragedy hastens. There is a
struggle once more with the sirens, and
amid Wolfram's touching appeals and
Tannhauser's EXPLANATIONS is heard the
entfcement of the Venus music But at
the name Elizabeth it dies away. The
m1stS grow denser as the magic crew
disappears, and through them is seen a
hight upon the Wartburg. The tolling
OF Dells and the songs of mourners are
heard as the cortege approaches As
Iannhauser dies, the pilgrims chorus
again rises in ecstasy, closing with a
mighty shout of ''Hallelujahr' and the
curtain fails.
DIE WALkURE"
In THE Valkyrie," properly the first
part or cyclus, the human drama be-
gins. Strong races of men have come
into existence, and Wotan's Valkyries
watch over them, leading those who
rail- in battle to Walhalla, where. in
the gods companionship, they are to
pass glorious life. According to the
original legend, Wotan blessed an un-
fruitful marriage of this race by Civ
ing the pair an APPLE of Hulda to eat
and the twins, Siegmund and Sieglinde
were the result of the union When
the first act opens Siegmund has al
ready taken wife and Sieglinde has
married the savage warrior Hunding
but neither marriage has been fruit
full. 1t is introduced with an orches-
trail prelude representing a storm. The
pouring Of the rain is audible among
the violins and the rumbling of thun-
der in the deep BASES. The curtain
raises, disclosing the interior of a rude
hut, its roof supported by the branches
Of an ash tree, whose trunk rises

covers that FloreStan has sunk back
exhausted, and as she restores him
recognizes her husband. Don Pizarro
enters, and after ordering F'idelio
away, who meanwhile conceals herself,
attempts to stab Florestan Fidelio,
who has been closely watching him,
springs forward with a Shrek, and IL
terposes herself between him and her
husband. He once more advances to
carry out his purpose, when Fidelio
draws a pistol and defies him. AS she
does so the sound Of a trumpet is heard
outside, announcing the arrival of Don
Fernando. Don Pizarro rushes out in
despair, and Florestan and Leonora, no
longer Fidelio, join in duet, which is
the very ecstacy of happiness. In the
last scene Don Fernando sets the pris-
oners free in the name Of the king, and
among them Florestan. Fizarro is re-
vealed in his true character, and is
led away to punishment. The happy
pair are reunited, and Marcellina, to
Jacquino's delight, consents to marry
him. The act closes with a general
song of jubilee. AS a drama and as
an opera "Fidelio" stands almost alone
in its perfect purity, in the moral gran
deur if its subject and in the resplend-
ent ideality of it's music.

music both by Richard Wagner, was
first produced at the Royal opera, Dres-
den, Oct 20, 1S45.
In the spring of 1912 Wagner return
ed from Paris to Germany, and on his
way to Dresden visited the Castle of
Wartburg, where he first conceived the
idea of writing '"Tannhauser." The
plot was taken from an old German
tradition, which centers about the cas-
tie, where the land graves of the thir-
teenth century instituted peaceful con-
tests between the Minnesingers and
kingly poets. Near this castle towers
the Venusberg, a dreary elevation,
which, according to popular tradition,
was inhabited by Olda, the Goddess of
Spring. Prescribed by Christianity,
she took refuge in its caverns, where
she was afterwards COMPOUNDED with
the Grecian Venus. Her court was
filled with nymphs and sirens, who en-
ticed those whose impure desires led
them to it's vicinity, and lured them
into caverns, from which they were
supposed never to return. The first act

A Remarkable Tree.

There is a wayward white oak tree
near Laporte, Ind, that may well puZ-
zle naturalists with the vagaries Of its
growth. The tree is feet in circumfer
ence at the base, and there are no
branches of any size below % feet from
the ground. There the great bole di-
vides into a number of limbs. Two,
leaving the trunk about 20 inches apart,
grow west, their lines diverginR for some
feet, and then each rending toward
the other. Twelve feet from the body of
the tree they unite again, making a per-
feet oval, and out of this grow two
smaller branches. AS il not satisfied
with that expressed disregard for the
laws Of nature, this old tree has per-
formed another feat. Six feet from its
base grows another white oak, less than
half its size, and no sooner does the
smaller tree arrive at the charmed cir
cles of those branching limbs than one
Of them grows right into it, and is ab-
sorbed. The second tree is very much
larger 20 feet from the ground than at
its base

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
Two Indian Boys Shoot a White Man
In the Breast With a wInches-
ter, at AntIers.

ANTLERs, 1. T., Jan. 2.-Yesterday
evening two small boys were hunt
ing hogs on Kiamitia river, two
miles north of here, when they found
the dead body of Lee Crum, a white
man, about "a years old. One win
chester ball had entered his right
breast just under the nipple.
1t failed to kill Crum and he drew
an empty pistol and snapped it at
the two Choctaws, when they ran
away. But the next day one of them
went back where Crum lay wounded
and cut his throat, cut of his ears,
cut all the flesh off his face, gouged
out his eyes and scalped him.
On suspicion, a Choctaw boy about
IL years old was arrested. He denied
the charge, but said that boy aged
II years and one aged 16 years had
told him of the killing. They were
Immediately arrested by Deputy
United States Marshal Bert Brown.
The details as gathered are that
the day before the killing two Indian
boys cOncocted plan to Kill a white
man the next day. Crum came
along about O'Clock Sunday even
ing and the boys persuaded him to
go down to the river, and while the
eldest one held his hand he told the
other boy to shoot him.
The conversation was in Choctaw
| and Crum could not understand it,
and did not know what they were up
to until he was shot. He then pulled
a small, empty pistol from his pocket
and put them to fight. Crum was
too badly wounded to seek help.
The boys came back, but seeing
some men ON the way they left. The
next day one OF them went back and
tracked Crum up. He was still alive.
The boy then took his knife and cut
b him up as above described and took
$40 in money and his pistol.
Judge Lynch is strongly talked
and he may hold court tonight.

A coaehmaz Told Him He Would Never
Set River Anre.
An amusing little story about the pres
ent emperor Of Germany, William ii,
and Vienna coachman was narrated at
banquet lately given ut Vienna by
some diplomatists. the narrator being
himself a well known and prominent
member of the corps diplomatic.
IN the year 1887 the present Emperor
William ii Of Germany, then Prince
William of Prussia, came to Vienn..
visiting his particular friend and chuni,
the late Crown Prince Rudolf of Aus
tria- Joined by the Prince Of Wales,
who was at that time also frequent
visitor to the Vienna court, the three
princes took a fancy to mingle with the
commons Of the Vienna population.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, they visited
places which are not in the least regard
ed as suitable for princely guests.
One day they entered hotel, but in
stead Of going into the dining room they
walked into the "schwemme," a place
which answers in some degree to the
barroom Of an American hotel; in this
room coachmen and the servants of the
hotel guests take their meals.
The three princes took seats at an
empty table, and listened, highly
amused, to fierce debate about politics
between several stout members Of that
class of fashionable Vienna coachmen
who are known all over Europe as
"fesche Wiener fiaker." The distinc-
tion Of those charioteers is a kind Of
good natured boldness and droll famil-
iarity toward their customers as we'll as
to perfect strangers.
After listening awhile Prince William
put in a word, and soon was drawn into
the excited discussion. Suddenly a stout,
red faced coachman walked mp to the
table where the three princes were seat
ed, and, tapping Prince William gently
ON the shoulder, said, Now, if you
should ever have anything to say in
politics, you wouldn't set a river ON fire,
I'm surer'
AS every public coachman in Vienna
wears a number. this coachman was
upon a special request of Prince William
easily identified. The prince sent him
a handsome scarfpin with his initials as
thanks for the amusement he had fur
nished, and thus the man learned in
amazement whose political abilities
they were that he had so belittled. -

THERE IS NO NATIONAL AouoAY.



There world scrm 20 he nu such thing
in this country as a national holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor dav.
which was set apart by act OF congress
in 1894 in such manner as to lead tLo
confiding lsyman to suppose it at leaEt
to be n national holiday. il not such
outside of the District Of Columbia un-
less by state enactment. The creation
and regulation Of holidays have been
left entirely TO the legislatures of the
individual states.
The act of congress concerning Labor
day was approved June 2s, 1894. 1t pro-
vides THAT the first Monday Of Septem-
Der in each year, being the day cello
brated and known as LABOR day, is
hereby made legal holiday. to all in
tents and purposes, in the same manner
as Christmas. Jan /, Feb. 22. May so
and July are now made by law public
holidays"
Clearly the proper construction Of
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference to the provisions bearing upon
the other holidays named The act max
ing holidays of Jan. !. July 4, Christ
mas and "any day appointed or recon-
mended by the president of the United
States as day of public fast or thanks
giving" was passed in June, 1870, and
was restricted in its effect to the Dis
trict Of Columbia. These days are hoh-
days in the various states only as they
are made so by the various state legis-
latures.
The act Of Jan. 81, 1879, makes Feb.
% legal holiday, and the act Of Aug.
81, 1883, does the same for May 80,
and both are restricted in their applica-
tion to the District of Columbia. The
act referring TO Labor day says nothing
about the District Of Columbia, but it
does say that the first Monday Of Sep
tember shall be legal holiday, "to all
intents and purposes, in the same man
ner as Christmas, Jan. !, Feb. 22, May
80 and July are now made by law
public holidays"
The intents and purposes for which
and the manner in which those days are
made holidays are expressly limited to
the District Of Columbia, and so, by
necessary inference. Is the act referring
TO Labor day.
The misleading language Of the Labor
day act has led to prevalent statement
that the first Monday of September is a
holiday throughout the United States
by congressional enactment.-New York
