FRAT GADSKI AND TANNHAUSER.
10 the Editor of the Press:

TO the Editor o. tHe ITeoos
Without doubt the people of Portland,
who are interested in music, have read
the enthusiastic criticisms of the New
York and Boston papers and are fully
aware of the pleasure in store for them
next Tuesday in being ables to hear the
same distinguished cast which has made
Tannhauser the greatest success OF the
Damrosch- Ellis opera season.
I have been so fortunate as to have
heard Tannhauser twice within the past
three weeks, in New York and in Boston,
and it seems to me as a most fortunate
circumstance that Portland is to be given
representation of such distinguished ex-
cellence.
Frau Gadski has no equal in her Wag-
merriam roles, and surely no other soprano
in the list which Mr.. Damrosch includes
in his company, could give us so hne
an impersonation of Elizabeth. Her voice
is glorious, and her long training In the
traditions of Wagner has impaired to her
nobility and grace which make her
stage presence rarely beautiful. Herr
Kraus's Tannhauser has never been ex-
celled. and his sustained action and the
dignity and earnestness that ne throws
into his part, mark him as FOREMOST
among the Wagnerian singers.
1t is always satisfaction to listen 70
Fischer; and as the Landgraye his sing
ing and acting are beyond criticism.
Surely Portland is to be congratulated
on the prospect OF hearing so tine q per-
Torrance as Mr.. Damrosch is sure TO
give us next Tuesday.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that on that
evening the theatre will be SO CROWDED
that the managers of the opera will not
see any reason to regret their confidence
in our generous patronage of a truly
fine representation of opera in our new
theatre. m

GOOD sPARRiNG.
Excellent Athletic Exhibition in City Hall
500 = Last Evening.

Lovers of athletic sports In general
and sparring in particular, turned out
last night to the number of Soo or
more at the grand boxing carnival, given
under the direction of Prof. Chas. II.
Farrell at City hall.
A 2O-foot ring was formed in the centre
of the main hall and soon after o'clock
Ed Henry assumed the duties OF master
of ceremonies and the exercises began by
a preliminary Ego" between two boys
who did some lively bantam work, just
enough to whet the appetites OF the crown
for an old-fashioned Knockout blow.
which they expected sooner or later might
come. Ha
Then came bout betweenRFrank Saw
yer of Portland and Richards OF Provl-
Deuce. who were attended by Barry and
Cato. There was some science displayed,
but not enough heavy hitting to arouse
enthusiasm. 1t was a sort of give and
take, Sawyer getting in some lace blows
which were repaid with interest. Inere
were a few telling hits, but all IN a'l
it was tame affair.
Tom Brown and McDermott next put
on the gloves and in q mild hammered
style reached for one and another and
they were followed by Maybury, kind
of pugilistic spider, and Kid Quinn.
Maybury was quick as cat and quinn
proved himself worthy foe. They mace
things lively and aroused genuine enthu-
siasm. Maybury forced the sparring and
opened chances now and then for quinn
who, although slower than his opponent,
took advantage of the opportunity 1t
was good set to.
At this point the master Of ceremonies
announced that the police Thought 1t not
advisable for Young Corners and Denny
McGovern to appear last night In the ring
on account of bad blood between them,
so Eddie Joyce was substituted for Con-
ners and thus the ball was kept on roll
ing. They gave about the best exhibition
of the evening. There was some heavy
hitting, good deal of steam was put
into the blows and before the gong
sounded there was display Of feeling
which led the spectators to believe the
men were getting down to earnest work,
little of which just then would have
been very gratefully welcomed, but just
as the tip toe of expectancy was reached
the men were summoned from the ring.
Joe Mullins, lightweight champion OF
New England, then played with Billy
Critch of Boston. He dropped on him
whenever he saw fit and got safely away
every time. Critch was of course in the
ring largely for exercise, and Mullin
gave him all he wanted in every respect.
Joe Soule OF Deering and Billy Corners
of Providence tried conclusions and gave
a first rate exhibition. 1t was scientific,
good deal Of hard and clever work was
mt in and both were freely applauded 1t
was Just the shot stuff the crowd want
ed and they were appreoiative. They both
stood ND wonderfully well though just a
little groggy at the close of the final
round. 1t is only fair to say, however,
that honors belong to Soule.

Two pupils of Prof Farrell, Tom Rice
of Portland and Cal. Berry Of Ligonia,
gave evidence of their good training in
a bout which occasioned lots of fun, and
then came the grand windup between
Prof. Farrell and VIM. Dunning. Far
rell opened up plenty of chances Tor
Dunning and although the latter worked
hard and at times got in some iouo
sounding hits, 1T was very evident even
to the initiated that the professor was
playing with his pupil, so to SPEAK, ana
only intention was wanting 20 have him
at his mercy.
Much of the talent that was expected
failed to appear and at the last hour
substitutions were necessary which took
away from the exhibition a good deal OF
the spirit and interest which it other
wise might have had. -

SELF HYPNoTIsM.
Is Practiced Unconsciously by People Day
by Day.

In order to continue habit, some peo-
ple will put up with more misery day by
day than they would stand for any other
cause.
For instance a man may have daily
tinges Of neuralgia Or stomach trouble or
weakness of the heart, (all having their
origin in disarranged nervous system)
and be told many times that he could be
rid of his misery by leaving off the drugs,
tobacco and coffee that cause the trouble.
But he stoutly asserts that they don't
hurt him and are not the cause OF his
trouble. "Why," one man said, II left
off coffee and tobacco once for two weeks
and I felt like a fighting cock, but l
couldn't stand the powerful desire anu
had to take them up again.
Such experiences show the real hypnotlc
character of habit and these habits are,
to an extent, breaking down the race
When a man shakes off the hypnotism
he clearly sees that bounding health and
the ability to hold up ones head ike
man, to do ones life duty and have the
ability to carry out business projects sue
cessfully is worth more than all the hab'
its on the face of the earth when coupled
with daily aches and ails and an ever IN
creasing inability to make things go.
Mans great object in life is happiness
and to portray as nearly as possible the
perfect man designed by the Creator.
Narcotic habits, like coffee and tobacco,
break him down by as sure law as that by
which the sun rises each morning. 1t
is easy to break the spell of coffee if Post
um Food Coffee is used, for when 1t is
properly boiled 1t has the color and flavor
of Java coffee, and yet contains nothing
but the..most powerful food elements Sc
lected with especial reference to their
ability to restore the delicate tissue in
brain and nerve centres. The trade mark,
"It makes red blood" covers profound
truth.

Altoona, Pa. June 30.-The State Demo-

paign, was called to order this afternoon
10y Chairman Garinan. The opera house
where the convention was held was pack
ed to the doors. P. A. O.. Boyle of Luz
erne county was chosen temporary
chairman. His speech of acceptance was
uninterrupted by applause EXCEPT when
he mentioned the name Of William J.
Bryan. The name Of the Democratic
idol evoked tremendous applause and
left no doubt as to the sentiment of the
delegates. The platform is causing the
delegates more concern han the nominal
ton of candidates. \ half-dozen leaders
have been at work on the platform for
two days and had not reached an agree
ment when the convention met to-day.
The pronounced Free Silver delegations
insist on a bold declaration in favor of
the Is to l policy and a strong endorse
ment of the Chicago platform. The on
Servatives are opposed to any resolution
on the silver question and demand Il
platform confined strictly to State issues,
with a patriotic plank endorsing the war
policy of President Mckinley.
The indications are that George A.

The Enterprise Bit.

Yesterdays Enterprise copied entire
the harmless fake of the Reno Gazette
regarding a meeting Of Reno citizens to
put up a Home Rule ticket in Nevada.
The introduction IF the article was in
tended to show that it was not authentic
and read as fOllOwS:
There was an informal gathering last
evening at which the a!>i~abIlity of or-
ganiz,ng Il Home Rule party WAS freely
discussed.
Now the Gazette does not state who
were the people vino attended the gather
ing or where they gathered. There Will
no doubt he II gathering Of people in this
State to put up a Home !tuie ticket, but
hey will rot meet informally nuI keep
the place of :neIr meeting a secret.
Ihe reason the Enterprise bit so
readily at the pleasantly of Mr.. Bragg
was probably due to the fact that the
editor of the paper is away on his honey
MOON, and all tickets % alike to him.
