TIVOLI CELEBRATES
BIRTHDAY OF VERDI
LAUREL WREATHS PRESENTED
TO THE ARTISTS.
San Francisco's Musical Cult Attend
ed in a Body-Miss Jessie Fos-
ter's Recital a Success.

The management of the Tivoli Opera
house struck the right chord when it set
aside an evening of the present grand
opera season for the commemoraton OF
Verdfs eighty-seventh birthday If ever
any man was entitled to such honor IT
is that grand old man who. despite ms
age, is still creating some OF the master
works of music. There is not one com
poser who can boast of the versatility
in composition and breadth of thought
which characterize the works or Nerqi,
inscribed in letters of gold upon the
pages of musical history. There was a
festive sentiment prevailing at the TlVoh
Tuesday night. The extremely large audi
ence gave evidence of its delight by gen.
erous applause, the performers expressed
their satisfaction by singing and playing
even better than usual and the orches-
ira did not fail to contribute its share
to the grand success of the evening.
The laurel wreath presented to Max
Hirschfed by DR.. Guido Caglieri was a
well merited testimonial of esteem and
an honestly earned sign Of appreciation.
And 1t was also quite praiseWorthy Of
Mr.. Hirschfeld to include in his speech
of thanks the artists, orchestra and
cess of this season. But while the con-
ductor was thoughtful enough to mention
Avedane and Salassa, he should also have
included Anna LIGHTER, whose energy.

Laurel Wreaths We're presented by the
Italian colony or THIS CITY 10 SalaSSa, ave-
dane and Anna LIGHTER. The programme
was a varied one, consisting of the over
ture 'Nabucco' by the orchestra, act II
from Aida selection from "Rigoletto''
by the orchestra, euphonium solo from
Macbeth by w. II. ColVert and orcheS-
ira, the second act from "Othello,' the
trio from "Atilla' by Ada Palmer Wal
ker, Thomas Green and William Schus-
ter, and the fourth act from III Trova-
tore.
The entire performance may be termed
an ovation to Ayedane, Salassa and Miss
LIGHTER and. in fact, the whole Tivoli
staff, including orchestra chorus and all
artists. On such an occasion 1t would be
out of place to criticize in detail 1t was
a festive occasion; let the festive senti-
ment not be marred by hunting for dis
crepancies. 1t was one of the evenings
upon which the Tivoli management may

cisco's musical cult was celebrating
sic Foster gave a song recital at Sher-
a very high soprano. which she uses with
much intelligence and a good method
While her execution may be rather
classed among the purely technical quail
ity, she succeeds frequently to give vent
to her interpretative faculties. Her voice
is steady and gives many signs of much
experience. The vocalist was assisted by
Arthur Weiss, cellist; Arthur Ficken-
scher, pianist, and Mrs. A c. Lewis, ac-
companist ALFRED METZGER.

I 'sMOTHER, MAY GO OUT TO SWIM
BRIGHT ROBBY.

"MOTHER, MAY GO OUT TO SWIM 20
Some months ago John P. Altgeld
said that in 1900 the American people
would expect more of Democracy than
a mere denunciation of trusts. They
would ask in no uncertain tone, What
do you propose to do about it,"
Altgeld was mistaken. He was too
far In advance of his party. His party
has turned him down. In 1900, when
Columbia asks the old harlot, Democ-
racy, to define her position on trusts,
the nation will hear that same old
song:
Mother, may go out to swim?
Yes, my darling daughter;
Hang your clothes on a hickory limb
But don't go near the water"
In 1900 Democrats to the last man
will hang all their clothes and the ma
tons destiny on Bryan, the limb of
Democratic promise, but rest assured
they will never go near the water of
public ownership. E. A. T.

The farmers" wives of a town in
Michigan seem to have solved the prob
lem Of obtaining the social and mental
relaxation which is usually so restricted
by the Isolation of farm life
The women got permission to use two
vacant rooms in the county court house
as club rooms. They furnished them
by the simple plan of each woman pay
Ing for one yard of carpet, and giving
one chair, one cup and saucer, one
knife, fork and spoon. Here, every Sat-
urday, those who wish come for reading
or rest or sociability, and in the after
noon or evening there is usually a lit
erary and musical program. Once a
month there is a meeting with refresh
ments.
Such little clubs of farmers wives
would bring wholesome variety into
the life of many a Woodworking woman
whose present opportunities are in no
way commensurate with her needs or
sacrifices. They would at least make it
impossible for such a pathetic case to
exist anywhere in the country as that
recently reported in the newspapers Of
farmer who remarked, when his wife
went insane, that he couldn't imagine
the reason, for she hadn't stepped out
side the kitchen for 80 years!
One cannot help wondering If club,
of some SOrt-wOu1d not also hovo hooy,
a good thing for that farmer.

WEEDS GOOD TO EAT.

The Average Farmer Destroys Many
GrOwths of Much Value.
Go out on any farm and see the
farmer hoeing away at the weeds that
threaten to choke his crop. You may
hear him say things that wouldn t
sound nice about the weeds.
The dandelion isn't the only weed
eaten by people who know what's good
to eat. Take wild chicory, the plague
of the farmer. 1t makes one of the fin
est salads served. p1quant, tender and
wholesome. Charlock, or wild mustard,
is another bane of the farmer. He
doesn't know that as a pot herb it can
give soup delightful flavor. The
dockweeds-how annoying the whole
family are! Yet the broad leaf variety
and the curly leaf are used all over Eu-
rope as table vegetables.
There's pokeweeds, commonest of
them all. In France it is cultivated. It
takes its place with sage, thyme, par
sley and bay leaves as a flavoring for
soup.
Everybody in America hates a nettle
and can't see what use it is. In Scot
land, Poland and Germany tender young
nettle leaves are used as green's The
Germans boil it with other vegetables
to give them piQuant flavor. Purslane
is another weed that can be treated the
same way.
Most people think milkweed poison
GUS. 1t is a medical vegetable, with a
delightful flavor all of its own. The
young leaves, when they are in just the
right condition, are cross between
spinach and asparagus, and in a salad
are delicious.
Sorrel, fictitious and chevril are looked
on as field pests by ninety-nine out of
every hundred farmers The hundredth
one picks the choicest leaves from these
weeds and sends them to market, where
they find ready sale for salads to be
eaten with game. and for favoring
herbs-tor herbs they are, and not
weeds.-New York World.
