pealed 70 the United States circuit court,
sttmg at Beaumont. Texas. Faiiing To
secure relief here, the next move was an
appeal 10 the full bench OF the Uni ed
s,as,s circuit court holding 81 New Or
leans. This court sustained the DECISIONS
OF all the lower courts and Mr.. Tinsey
was ordered TO produce the documents or
remain in Jail.
Then came a supreme effort. His a.
torneys applied to The supreme court Of
the United States on a writ VI error, and
this august body, after fully reviewing
the evidence. ordered Mr. Nnsley back 10
jail.
Apparently after this decision Mr.. Tina.
ley concluded that he would hold his
ground. and for a long time no legal move
was made, but last month. through his At
torDeye, Mr.. TInsley sought relief. He
pleaded thar while President Tansley OF
the Glenwood Cemetery company nl.ghs
have been 10 contempt OF court, Thomas
Tnsley as SIN Individual was not. Judge
Tod heard the habeas cotpus proceedings
and remanded Mr.. Tinsfey back 10 jail.
In speaking OF the mater the Judge
stated that he had no desire to be harsh.
While Mr.. ninsley had claimed that he was
not possessed Of ceruatn papers the court
felt certain that he was. and for that rea-
son demand was made for them The
court, according to Judge Ted, held that
Mr. n.nsley was possessed of $3.50 In notes
which were In evidence, to say nothing OF
$4,000 more of which record had been
made.
These notes MIR. Tnsley was ordered -
turn over 10 the receEver, Captain Chris
than, but Mr.. Tnsslsy persAstently refused,
claiming that IL was individual property
and not subject TO the orders of the court
MIR. Tlnsley's assertion all through the
proceedings was lilat the courts effort was
to eonflscate property which he claimed
10 be his own. On the other hand the
court held that the documents belonged TO
the Glenwood Cemetery company and, the
court having appointed receiver, became
an interested party.
This was really the whole contention.

not only the State hut the Federal courts

MISUNDERSTANDING Company Plenses
Two Large Audiences.

Two Large AuuIeutc>.
The Baldwin Melville company gave two
| performances yesterday, at both of which
they were greeted by large audiences. Mr.
Baldwin has one of the best repertoire
| companies on the road this year and the
plays preaSnted are of high class.
At matinee "A Mad Marriage" was the
blu and at night the company produced
Prisoner of Algieis." The latter is u Sc
aue TO the well known play of Monte
Cristo. the of Edmond Dante being
the prisoner of Algiers' and the hero OF
the drama.
The piece is quite strong, much stronger,
an fact, than luo plays usually pun on by
popular price" companies, but it was
handled tu 4 satisfactory manner. Tho
theme OF the play is made clear to the au-
dienee by prologue with the following,
cast of characters;
Edmond Dante ........,..W. III. Murdoch
BenedDtto ....................W wilson Day
Dr tountaln .................L l.. o. Hart
bertuccio .................H Hugh McKaye
Mercetes ....,...... .......... Marie Day
The action of the drama is supposed to
take place three years later, and is ;.re-
scented by the following cast:
Captain Albert. the prisoner OF Algiers
.....................W w. H. Murdoch
benedetlc .................... Wilson Day
Colcnei Danglars .......... Hugh Mcksyo
Corporal Mckenna ............L. o. Hart
MaNihlllian MorTeil ....,.... Bert Clark
Sergeant Neville Thomas B. Findi,ty
Eugcnia Danglars Edna Earle Lindon
Toinctie ................ Louise Hamilton
Madam Hegmonie ............. Marie Day
Mr.. w. II. Murdoch interpreted the
characters assigned 10 him in true dra-
matte spirit Mr.. Murdoch Is an actor
OF much ability in his profession and dis
played much talent in his role. His pains
taking work won him much applause.
The slight vein Of comedy which runs
through the piece is IN the part OF Corporal
/ McKenna, which is portrayed by Mr. L.. o.
Hart In capable manner Miss Louise
hamilton was good as Toinette and her
singing in the first act OF the play was
very clever. The other members of the
cast, Misses Hamilton and Day and Messs.
Day, McKaye Clark and Flndiay, essayed
their Respective roles satisfactorily.

OPERATiC GENIUS.
Mr.. de Koven Says Wagner Did Not
Found a School of Music.

With all his genius, with all his over
whelming individuality and influence,
Wagner did not succeed in founding a
school, He left followers and imitators,
but no successor, and this fact more than
any other points and emphasizes the ex-
traordinary tendency to individualism in
modern art. A successor to Wagner, who
would follow strictly along the lines he
laid down, is improbable, If not impossible,
because composers are not often equally
great as poets and musicians, and it was
the intensely close correlation between
text and music which was the great fea-
ture, the great novelty, the great power
and strength of Wagner's work. If we ad
NIT this fact, if we allow that Wagner,
like a Napoleon, occurs once within a
cycle of centuries, and also admit-as OBJ
viously we must-that the composers of
the present day are bopelessly, almost SER
Wiley, under his influence (another Wag-
ner is hardly Immediately possible), are
we not forced to the conclusion that this
influence of an overwhelming personality
is responsible for the present undoubted
stagnation in operate production, and has
therefore been subversive and hurtful both
to opera in particular and to the best in
terests of musical art i'm generalS
Can we indeed say that we are richer in
genius and promise in opera since Wagner
destroyed our operatic theories, and In
pushing his own theories to an extreme of
development set Up an impossible and I'M
practicable standard of operate construc
ton? 1t is not ut all uncomfortable that
had Wagner lived he himself would have
recognized that he had indeed pushed his
theories to an impracticablc extreme, and
evidences are not wanting in "Parsifal"
that he bad arrived at this conclusion. -
