Harry L. Freeman, "tfe Colored Wagner"
Will Journey to the Interior of the
Dark Continent

by the fair Dulcinea, who dwells there
in with her friend and only companion
Florina, Brazilian maiden. who has
recently been rescued from the waves
by Xerifa, Cuban buccaneer and ac-
cepted lover of Dulcinea Waldo having
passed blissful hour with Dulcinea
in an enchanting floral glen. is about TO
depart, when he is suddenly arrested
by the unexpected appearance Of Kerr
ia, who has just returned from a vOy-
age to sea. Xerifa insults Waldo,
whose challenge he accepts forthwith
The combat, however, is interrupted by
the opportune arrival OF Dulcinea.
After Valdo's departure Xerifa, in jeal-
Gus wrath, mocks at Dulcinea's cheer
full welcome. and demands the name OF
his fancied rival. Being truthfully in
formed by her that she knows II not,
still in doubt, he rushes forth in pur-
suit of Waldo, but is stayed and ap-
peased by Florina. Xerifa, in extreme
reaction, proposes that they bow and
enlist the aid and blessing of God to
keep them from further errors. After
informing Dulcinea that he could not
return again that day, he departs.
Dulcinea Serenaded.
The daylight disappears and the
gloom of night rapidly descends. Dull
cinea re-enters, sings to the Star OF
Evening" accompanying herself upon a
harp. and retires. Waldo then returns
and serenades Dulcinea. She appears,
and after a mutual exchange of pas
sionate phrases, they again repair to
the glen, unperceived, as they think.
Florina, however, having a PRESENT.
ment of coming evil. has returned and
witnessed all. Xerifa, having been un-
able to resist a maddening impulse,
also returns, and seeing Valdo's mand0-
lin, snatches it up and commences the
plaintive lay Dulcinea has always been
wort to answer. Receiving no response,
his appeal, changing to an imperative
demand, ends in the wild lamentatiOn,
Il fear me a rival is herer Just then
a portion of the love duet, waited from
the glen, is heard by Xerifa, who is
about to rush in upon the unsuspect-
ing pair, when he is again restrained
by Florina, who soothes him until Val
do and Dulcinea re-enter so enraptured
that they do not notice the Others pres
ence, until Xerifa. drawing his sword,
rushes upon Waldo, who prepares to
meet him. after giving Dulcinea a curl
ously wrought locket. which she gazes
upon a moment in wonder, then takes
from her bosom another locket of the
same peculiar workmanship. As the
combat proceeds Dulcinea turns with
outstretched hands and cries Waldo"
who turns to clasp her in his arms as
the Infatuated Xerifa plunges his sword
into his back. Waldo falls, Dulcinea
kneels besides him in anguish, while
Florina, turning fiercely upon Xerifa
exclaims. "Fiend, thou hast murdered
her brother!"
In the music to Waldo" the African
character is quite apparent; in Duh
ciDea" 1t Is more so: in ''Xerifa," a
party of Abyssinians being on board
the vessel, having been rescued by the
Cubans, the musical coloring is still
more apparent, until in "Florina," the
scene being In Abyssinia, the character
is wholly local.

Harry L. Freeman, who here writes for
the first time his life story, possesses a
remarkable musical gift, that has won for
him the title Of 1.-The Colored Wagner"
He seems destined to thoroughly estab-
ltsh in the realms of music an entirely
new attraction, in the shape of negro
grand opera. Freeman is SO thoroughly
determined to use his wonderful gift TO
make permanent this novel musical fea-
ture that he has arranged to go to Africa,
and there, by burying himself in the heart
of the dark continent and carefully study
ing the speech, habits and characteristics
OF the African race, to acquire the knowl-
edge necessary to give a correct coloring.
Melody has always been dear to the AZ
ricans heart, but the colored peoples
musical efforts have been of crude ma
ture, with little but the element of force }
full intensity to Recommend them. With
such foundation, however Freeman
should build well. His success with
compositions already produced has in

listened to them are confident that his
ambitious project to introduce negro grand
opera will be eminently successful. A
good deal has been written about this
colored prodigy, but this is the first time
he has written about himself. He is
modest character, and it has required

Ed. BULLETIN For a long time
we have been so busy that the aver
age man gets out of bed at daylight,
worked during the day and waited
only long enough. to read the war
news and goes to bed at dark. A
great fear crept over US when news
of the first fighting was received.
We were afraid that the United
States army would never be able to
cope with Spain without the aid of
the First Brigade of Fsmeralda Vol
unteer Regulars. Fortunately for
both countries it was not necessary
to bring that body of men into ac-
tion. | have no doubt that the whole
world felt relieved when it was
known tn at we were not to be hurled
against the foe The members OF
that organization have been putting
in their spare time working in the
mine and mill, until Yesterday, when
the mill shut down for cleanup and
repair The run was a long one,
the ore good. The Mary mine is pro-
ducing largely. James Hickey, the
foreman, has the mine in good shape
now and sends out good, clean ore.
Fred Volmar is running the mill
and assay Office. He and Hickey
work together like wheel horses and
the result is success.
Henry Jaegels worked % tons oil
the Homestake at the end of the run
which netted $35 in free gold.
A new and promising strike has
just been made here by Pete Shan
non and Rob McAfee which has
caused considerable excitement. The
mine is near the great gulch ano
crops out for 200 or 800 feet ano
shows coarse gold in any Of The crop
pings for that distance. The boys
have stake 10 sight.
Everything political is quiet here
and we are satisfied with our lot, ant
satisfied to stay at home.

GENTLE COURTESY.
An English Society Woman VINO Had
Big Heart.

Lady Camilla Gurdon, in her memories
of Suffolk, tells n story of society
woman who was sweet-natured and
generous enough to give the poor of her
very best. She used to visit the large,
dreary workhouse in the manufacture
ing town near her country home. For
this, she dressed herself carefully in
her best clothes, and wore all her
brightest jewels. For" said Gertrude,
simply, poor people care much more
TO see one in ones best things than
rich people do. l wonder why every
body generally puts on common, dull
old clothes to visit cottaCes!"
One night, we went together to a
party, my pretty Gertrude dressed in
every color of the rainbow, with dia-
monds sparkling on her wavy hair and
shining about her soft, round throat.
As we alighted from our carriage, the
prince and princess of Wales happened
to arrive, and we stood aside on the
steps to let them pass.
As usual, there was a crowd of peo-
pie waiting to enter the house. A poor
woman, just behind us, was vainly en-
ieayoring to lift her child, little Grip
pie, so that he might see the princess;
but each time that she pressed forward,
policeman pushed her back. The
child broke into wall:
"Oh, l can't see herl l can't see her!
You promised l should see her, mann
my!"
Gertrude turned quickly. "Give me
your little boy" she said, and she took
the astonished child in her arms. Il
Will hold him up. He ean have much
better view here
With a queenly gesture, she waved
aside the bewildered policeman. The
little cripple put his tiny, wasted arms
trustfully about her neck, and leaned
eagerly forward to see all that was to
be seen; and when the sight was over,
and Gertrude gently d1sentangled her
self from his poor little hands, to give
him back to his mother, the child put
his pale lips to her rosy cheek and kissed
her.
Pretty lady! pretty lady!" he said,
admiringly.
His mother broke into torrent of
thanks and apologies, while Gertrude,
gathering up her brilliant train,
passed into the house.-Youth's Com
panion.
