roles and do them justice Samson
and Deltlah' when it was first produc-
ed as an opera in Paris reused a great
furore. An interesting story is told of
its author at this time. While prepa
rations for the grand first night" We're
being made Saint-Saens left Paris sud
denly, charging his friend Guirand, the
conductor, to prepare the work and he
would return later to supervise the last
rehearsals. The opera was nearly
ready for the opening night and every
body expected the composer to return
at any moment, Not only did he not
reappear in Paris to assist at the final
rehearsals, but he did not even write to
anyone. Nobody knew where he was.
This extraordinary act of a composer
who concealed himself While at home
theatrical managers We're making every
effort for the great event, excited all
Paris. 1t even disturbed the govern
ment, which caused inquiry to be made
everywhere by its diplomatic agents
The search was a vain one. 1t was
generally thought that SaintSaens had
died in some foreign country The first
performance, therefore, of Samson and
Delilah" was given at a time when 1t
was doubtful if its author was alive or
dead. Happily, he was still of this
world, and in very good health, but
careless of his glory and fame was
basking in the sunshine of the Canary
islands, busily engaged in finishing a
volume of verse, for Saens is a poet as
we'll as a musician.
The final rehearsal of the chorus at
Harmonic hall will take place this eve
ming. The chorus never was in better
shape, and no doubt will add to its al
ready fine reputation at the concert on
Wednesday,
The solo parts will be entrusted to
the following competent artists: De
lilah," Miss Gertrude May Stein; Sam
SON. Mr.. Barron Berthald; High
Priest of Dagon and Abimelech" Mr.
Heinrich Meyn; AN old Hebrew and
I'd Philistine" Mr.. Herbert Wither-
spoon. These artists have been care
fully selected for their special adapta-
ton to their respective roles. The or
chestra will number as or so men and
will be composed largely of members of
the Boston symphony orchestra with
Emil Mollenhauer as concert master
The sale of seats thus far assures a
large and representative audience.
Those guarantors who have not as yet
applied for their seats are advised to
do so at once
Inasmuch as the 81 seats in the dress;
circle are all sold the management will
place on sale this morning at o'clock
the seats in the last five rows of the or
chestra circle at 81 each Excellent
seats at rs cents and 81 can be had in
the family circle, and it must be re-
membered that this is one of the very
best places in the Hyperion for hearing.
Good S1.50 seats may also be had in
the orchestra circle and in the dress
circle, but an early application is ad-
vised.
Interest will be increased in the forth
coming concert by the presence in the
audience of a delegation from the
Bridgeport Oratorio society, which So
ciety is soon to produce Samson and
Delilah" in bridgeport

SAINT s4ENs, SAMSON IND DE1r1AH
Its Presentation This Week by the Gounod

Its Presentation This week by the GOunod
society-Large Sale of Seats.
Preparations for the Gounod socie-
tvs splendid production of Saint -Saen's S
samson and Delilah" on Wednesday
evening of this week are rapidly ap-
preaching completion. 1t is safe to say
that nothing so novel as this great work
has been given here before in a long
time. Samson and Delilah," as is sig
nificantly indicated by it's title, is a
Biblical opera, almost an oratorio.
Wherever it has been heard, both
abroad and at American festivals, it
has invariably aroused the greatest
enthusiasm. 1t is work of the highest
inspiration, wonderfully vivid in style
and "a masterpiece in the fullest sense
of the word" Its orchestration is a
superb massing of instrumental color
calling into use the full capacity of the
modern orchestra. 1t is intensely dra-
matte and some of the choruses are
startling in their effects and arouse the
dullest listener. The solo numbers for
their fullest development require artists
endowed with special attainments. The
work is so full of the elements of hu-
man passion that no one with a slug
gish temperament could sing the title

THE CRETAN BLOCKADE.
The Powers Will Surround the island
With War Craft To-day.

lu0 EOWerS VIII surround Inc lSlan0
With War Craft To-day.
Canea, March 21-According to the
proclamation issued by the foreign adj
mirals the blockade of Crete began at
o'clock this morning. 1t appears that
the object of the blockading squadron is
to prevent the landing Of supplies Of
food, clothing, ETC., destined for the
starving Christians in the interior,
while the Mussulmans who have flock
ed to the coast towns are allowed to
land whatever they want.
The few Christians remaining here
find it difficult to understand the mo-
tives that are prompting the powers to
exert their energies to crush the Chris
ton population of the island, while the
Moslems are given a free hand to do
about as they please. About the only
hope of the Christians outside of the
coast towns is in Greek blockade run
ners, who will not hesitate to run
through the Gordon of foreign warships
about the island.

Something to Depend on.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug
firm of Jones & Son, Cowden,
ILL.,, in speaking of DR.. Kings
New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked
with Ia grippe, and her case grew
SO serious that physicians at Cow
den and Pana could do nothing
for her. 1t seemed to develop
into hasty consumption. Having
DR.. Kings New Discovery in
store, and selling lots of it, he
took a bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get
better from first dose, and half
dozen dollar bottles cured her
sound and well. DR.. Kings New
Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds is guaranteed to
do this good work. Try it. Free

Deputy Sheriff P. H. Nugent

Thalheim. Mr.. Nngent quietly
stepped off the train with his
prisoner at the crossing near the
Jail and walking quickly over to
the Jail locked his man in a cell
where he will remain until bond
is given or until court convenes.
Mr.. Thalheim says he is conf
dent of securing the bond at an

orado, where he, with Jim
Chambers, are actively engaged
in prospecting and mining specu-
lations, and where Mr.. Thalheim
is president of a mining COM

A Killing ut Martel.

A justifiable killing occurred at
Martel Saturday noon in the tur-
pentine camp Of Johnson, Clark
Il 20. Mr.. Clark, the junior
member of the firm, shot and in
stantly killed a negro laborer by
the name of Patrick Dawson. A
third party, Will Powell, owed
Dawson money. The latter in
sisted on Mr.. Clark taking same
out of Powell's wages and Clark
would not do it without instruc-
tions from Powell. Dawson took
the matter into his own hands
and with a drawn revolver or
dered Powell to give him the
amount, which in the meantime
had been paid to him. Powell
complied but Mr.. Clark came out
at that point and ordered Daw-
son to put down the money and
gun. This he finally did, but
watching his chance grabbed his
pistol again and drew it on Clark,
who, by this time, had his gun.
He quickly drew and fired before
the nt gro could and killed him ir-
stantly, the ball taking effect in
the side of his head. Mr.. Clark
was arrested and n coroner's 'ju-
ry empanel,ed, who returned a
verdict of justifiabie killing in
self-defense. He was then re-
leased. Mr.. Clark is well and IA
vorably known in Ocala.

ment were in no wise responsible.
Shipments of non-union fruit and
the transfer of melons en- route
into cars without bedding caused
the few disappointments felt.
The union has handled to date
nearly three hundred car loads of
melons or more than three quar-
ters of the total product of the
peninsular portion of the state.
We are informed that the execu-
tive committee will meet soon to
make reports of it's operations
and we understand that all mem
bers will be invited to that meet
ing to LOOK into details Of union
work and give in their experience.
In the beginning of the move
ment many expressions were
made as to the impossibility of
organizing and keeping together
a body OF farmers.
The success of the organiza-
tion has been largely due to the
untiring zeal and energy Of the
manager, Mr.. Chambliss. second
ed by the efforts of the working
members of the executive COM
mittee. The fact that the farm
ers can unite for their own pro-
lection, that their organization
can be run solely in their interest
and that they can accomplish a
stated object has been proven,
and we shall expect that the les.
sons taught by this organization
will be fraught with benefits tC
the large class of our population
who earn their living from the
soil.

DR.. ALGER WILL PREACH
Berkeley to Have a N. W Pas or
tor the Unitarian
Church.
A Man Well Known as a Forcefu
and Fluent Speaker and a
Profound Thinker.

BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. N.-The pull
pit of the Berkeley Unitarian Society is
soou to be filled by DR.. William r. Alger,
one of the ablest divines and exponents
of advanced thought in the country. He
has been engaged for q period of several
months, but it is believed he can be in
duced to remain permanently in the State.
DR.. Alger comes from Boston, where he
has lived almost continuously for the last
fifty years, and where he has gained for
himself almost National reputation
through his preaching and the publica-
ton of number of valuable works
Chief among his productions is his His
tory of the Doctrine of Future Life" of
which fifteen editions of octave size have
been issued. This work has been trans
lated into all the cultured languages of
the civilized world. Prominent among
his other works are his SOLITUDE" ana
Consolation"
Graduating with honors from Harvard
in the generations of men succeeding
Emerson. DR.. Alger belongs TO what is
called the bloom of Unitarianism." !"
He is in his seventy-sixth year. He has
lived to see Unitarianism change its basis
from broad theism to almost absolute ag-
nosticism and has kept pace with the
times.
He is re egaroed as an 'fdealist" in phil
osophy, his views being more closely
allied TO those of Thomas AQuinas than of
any other philosopher.
At about the age of so DR.. Alger suffered
a general collapse from overwork and
went to Europe for his health. Improy-
ing much while there be returned and
again took up the work of a pastor. but
this time in New York. Following it for
a few years there he returned to Boston,
where be has remained ever since, preach
ing most of the time at Music Hall and at
Metropolitan Temple.
Six years ago he came to California and
was instrumental in building up the Uni
tartan Society at Berkeley. He will be
remem bered as a fluent and pleasing
speaker, having a remarkable power of
presentation. President Kellogg of the
State University calls him the modern
Cicero.

tent with him wherever he went. 1t was
very light affair, barely sufficient TO keep
out the hail and not sufficient to keep out
the rain, but it was all that he owned.
During the rains of the past week Nan.
uel Pereisa has frequently been forced TO
get up at nighttime and make additional
anchorage for his tent, but this did not
induce i'm to change his quarters. for he
was in hole between two mountains and
was well sheltered from the fiercest of the
storms.
During the past four days the heavy
rains swelled the little creek into a stream
OF goodlv proportions. and the violent
rains of Thursday caused the water to
rise sufficiently TO soak the handful Of
straw on which the lone rancher slept.
Manuel, however, retired as usual, but
about 2 o'clock yesterday morning the
water rose several feet and rushed through
the canyon like a mill stream. Manuel
was asleep at the time and Was not aware
of the food until his tent was washed
away and he found himself being whirled
along the stream aad occasion ally meet
ing with blow from some piece of tree
or roots as he was carried along the bank.
He nearly lost his lie trying to recover
his old tent. His efforts were unsuccess-
fal and all his worldly belongings were
washed down the canyon and have not
yet been discovered ard probably never
will be.
A couple of hours later Manuel, half
dead with fright and almost frozen to
death, walked into Haywards and was
glad TO sleep in a warm stable with some
horse blankets 20 cover him. His face is
badly cut and one of his legs is bruised
severely, and he is surprised that he
should have succeeded in saving himself
from most unpleasant death at md
night in the food.
