VEGAS, NEW MEXIoo THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST
A GREAT COMPANY.
A Musical Expert Gives his Opinion OF the
Lambardi Troube.

i q
or the recent successes in Los
Angeles q musicll critic of the Sun
day World. the recognized musical
journal of southern California. says the
following: l
"Those people of Los Angeles who
care for grand opera have been highly
entertained during the week at the Los
Angeles theater by a company that are
as. great an aggregation of superb
voices as has ever been heard before
or dreamed of in this city, and those
who have attended regularly have had
an opportunity of comparing the COM
positions of Gounod, Donizetti, Verdi.
Mascsgni and others. OF these. es-
pecially. Verdi's are favorites with
Americans. even with those who love
high lyric dramatic impersonation and
yet are unaware Of the difference be-
tween a sharp ard a Fat Travatore
with IFS marvels Of everlasting tunefnl
cavatinas and duets Rigoletto, with It's
highly dramatic argument and cspti-
yating concerted parts. and Ernani,
with its bewitching melodies. give Verdi
place IN the hearts of American opera
goers and music lovers generally that
will ever remain fresh and warm.
There is also much in Donizetti that
makes him favorite for all time. even
il he had written only the music of
Lucia; Gounod will never fall from his
great height as the composer of those
marvellous arias that could fit no poem
but the matchless melodramatic crea-
tion of Goethe, while the intermezzo
from Cavalleria Rustican will length
en- the fame of Its composer into
ages.
"These musical children of Italy sing
for the very love of singing. They open
their mouths and the musical vowels
come with a fullness and roundness
that makes the heart glad and the ear
rejoice. For the greater part, the prin-
clpals illustrate the best Italian method
of voice placing, and it was certainly
refreshing to hear complete opera
without the perpetuation of the ghoul-
ish warbles which marred SO much Of
the otherwise good work of some of the
members of the Del Conte troupe last
year. AS to principals. the Lambardi
is, on the whole, better than the Del
Conte.
"Blanca Barducci, whose 'Santuzza'
was the most brilliant. performance of
the role ever seen or heard here. SEN
orlna Barducci is an artist of pronounc-
ed talent. She is a soprano, whose
ideas of dramatic Relationship are most
clearly applied and her 'Santuzza' was q
most telling impersonation.
"The old fashioned Italian opera could
not be given better than has been done
by these singers, and it is this lyric
work that, not having felt the influence
of Wagner, are appreciated by the class
which love sweet melody for its own
sake"

STRUCK BY A TRAIN,
IUnknowns Natlyeg Killed While
Walking on the Track.
The Accident Occurred Near
Tecolote-Remains Brought
to Las VEGAS.

An unknown Mexican was struck by
the second section of freight train No.
"a at 1890 o'clock today at place
about twelve miles south of Las Vegas
and was so badly injured that death
ensued 10 less than three-quarters of an
hour later. Tho body was brought to
Las Vegas and Judge Wooster notified.
A coroner's jury was accordingly i'm
paneled, consisting of j. G. Schurman,
| Iii Strong, r.. Gallegos,5 II. g. E..
Spencer, Thomas Finn AID j. ID.
Wright, with Judge Wooster acting as
ex. .oflicio coroner.
The evidence showed that the deceas-
ed was walking on the railroad track
near Tecolote on his way, apparently,
to Las Vegas. His back was turned to
the approaching train. A short distance
south of this point, probably quarter
of a mile, the railroad curves sharply.
The engineer had whistled as custo-
mary at this place and both he and his
fireman were busily attending to the
engine, preparatory to pulling up a
steep grade. The engineer happened to
glance out of the cab and saw The man
on the track. Within five seconds after
ward, the engine struck him and threw
him to the left side of the track on q
bank of earth.
A stop was quickly made and the in
jured man put in the way car. He died
when the train arrived at Blackwell,
not having uttered a word after being
struck by the engine. His body was
taken to the freight depot at the yards
in this city.
= The deceased was a man probably 90
or 55 years of age, rather slender
built. He carried on his person
an Identification card issued by the
Denver s. Rio Grande railroad to labor
ers employed at La Veta Pass This
card was made out.in the name of
Moretio Rosa and bore a date mark of
May 10, 1899, on the reverse side. The
card was numbered 5O52 but did not
state from where Il was issued. There
was almost nothing beside this to iden-
tify the body. In his pockets were also
found scraps of paper on which the
following names and addresses were
written: Walter b. Bounds, La Veta.
Colo. box 78; Agapito Duran, Cimar.

merits; they we're figuring on com bust
ion, economy in oil; they were studying
valve motion and air, and were watch
ing all points to sustain their record or
make better one. The engineers that
we were beginning to feel proud of,
will in five years be known in history
only.
! One of the arguments in favor of the
pool system is that the company now
own the engines: that the engineers
get more work out of them, etc.
/ This however, is not the case, and
the fact of the matter is they never
could get as mnch work out of another
engine.
A racehOrse, to win race, must be
in the pink of condition. A machine
| must be the same. A machine or a
! locomotive is more apt to give trouble
unless we'll taken care of. An old say
| ing that what is every body's business
| is nobody's business" hold good in the
pooling case, and the perfect machine
soon degenerates IF the company
want certain time made and certain
tonnage hauled, let the travelling
engineer take train over the road for
an example, and every engineer on the
road will duplicate Der performance or
die in the attempt. He will also key
his his own rods, set up wedges,
tighten up IOOso nuts, pnCh we Curot-
! tie, put in water and lubricatOr
glasses, clean his headlight,
pack the cocks in the cab and the air
pump, keep the engine neat and
clean and always ready to 60 out, if it
lies in his power. None of these things
are they now doing, but are ready and
willing to do, and more, if given back
their engines. Then If the conductor
asks the engineer if he
can make his meeting point.
he confidently says. yes; where
as under the pool system he don't fig
ure much on what he can do until he
gets in.
Believing this to be vital question
of policy and economy, would like to
see it discussed from all stand points
by those in transportation as well as
those in the mechanical department.
