NEW OPERA FOR LONDON.
De Lara's 'Messaline' Wins Popular
Favor at Covent Gardsn-

London, July 15.-Isidore de Lara's new
opera, 'MessaHne," first produced at
Monte Carlo was seen for the first time
at COvent Garden last night. The Daily
Telegraph says:
Whatever opinion may be formed of
the new opera, one cannot avoid seeing IN
il considerable technical advance since the
composer asked London to listen to Amy
RCbsart-' Generally speaking. one marks
in 'A1essaline' an elaboration of the ac-
compartment TO which De Lara was a
stranger in the old days"
The Daily Mail says.
His earlier work in the field Of nnusica
composition would never have led one TO
expect from his pen opera of such
strength and vfgor as that produced last
night
The opera was enthusiastically received
and may be taken to have achieved a
great success

LOOK HERE MR.. REEDER,
Did You Ignore Qualifications to Ap-
point Your Nephew to West Point

Congressman ". A Reeder of the
Sixth district is having trouble over
the result of a recent examination held
at BeIoit for candidates to enter West
Point. It seems that Homer Smith of
Logan, Reeder's nephew, got the ap-
pointment when his papers placed him
in third place.
Clarence Rarick of Osborne was re-
ported as third in the examination
when the judges and other people who
have examined the papers say he was
really first
The Ellis Republican says: Ralph
Graham, who stood fourth in the West
Point examination at BelOit, intends
asking the other candidates to join
with him in asking Congressman
Reeder to hold new examination. The
examination was conducted by Con
gresham Reeder alone On the way to
Topeka he told Ralph Graham he be-
HeVed the Logan boy (his nephew
would get the appointment. This was
before Reeder had looked at or marked
the papers. showing he had made up
his mind what to do and that the ex-
animation was only a blind Bill
Reeder'S appointments all seem to
flavor Of the same essence-preVarica-
ton and false promises.
Clarence Rarick, the Osborne boy
who took the examination a few weeks
ago for admission to West Point and
was announced as standing third in the
list of contestants. was in reality, the
winner Homer Smith, of Logan. who
was at first announced as the winner,
should have been given third place All
the judges and board of examiners
are unanimous in their decision that
the real winner was the Osborne boy,
and Congressman Reeder, seeing that
the smooth work has been exposed
writes a letter to interested parties al
Osborne saying a thorough investiga-
ton will be made and there now seems
to be hardly a doubt but that the Os-
borne boy will get the aDpOiutu1eut -

A Lesson For Old and Young.
Two mothers Of large families. says
The Youths Companion. were discussing
domestic matters one day, and the
younger Of the two spoke with sigh
Of the way in which her table cloths
were spotted through the daily mishaps
Of her two boys.
Perhaps you'd like to know how 7
have helped my boys TO be careful at
the table" said the older woman; 1T IS
the plan on which my mother brought
US up. and I've never found better.
THE rule in our family" she pro-
ceeded, when urged by her friend to ex-
plain her method, is this; Any one
vino makes q spot on the tableclOth
must cover IL with a piece of money and
the piece must be large enough TO hide
the stain entirely; no rims are allowed
The children have to provide the coins
out of their own pocket money. The
rule applies to their father and me as
well as to them The sum goes to buy
new table linen
The first year tried this plan we
had money enough for three handsome
tablecloths. but since then there has
been less and less. This is the fourth
year. and. although none of nv four
boys has yet reached his fifteenth BIRTH
day, and they are by no means IN
usually def in their management Of
knives, forks and spoons. they have
learned to serve themselves and others
so well that I am Inclined TO think their
contributions TO the table cloth fund
will be very slight
