"Cyrano De Bergerac.

The Philadelphia Press finds much to
praise in the new comic opera, "Cyrano
de Bergerac," which Francis Wilson
will present at the LyCeum theatre,
Wednesday evening. 1t says;
MIR. Herbert has never been more
felicitous in the invention of melodies,
nor more mastery in his orchestral eff
fects and concerted numbers. The
overtures to the acts are in his best
vein and at various stages the musical
portion of the audience listened in rap
ture 10 arias and morceauX that scared
far beyond the scope Of comic opera
into the regions of true opera comique,
that vestibule Of grand opera. Mr..
Herbert doubtless suited his compost
tion to the romantic spirit in which
'Cyrano de Borgerac' was originally
conceived and in doing so he gave an
exhibition of his creative powers in a
higher grade of music than the luXur-
iOus prettiness and melodious variety
of The Serenade, The Wizard of the

Traction Company Can Double Track

Traction Company Can Double Track
if It Chooses-Church Street
S-vitch.
The Traction company had a large
force Of men engaged on Church street
all day yesterday. a switch was put
in on Church street in front of DR.. $.
S. Shields residence. When the com.
panys purpose was discovered early IN
the morning some councilmen became
very indignant and proposed to stop
work forthwith. Not that the switch
would be detriment to anybody This
point was not considered. What agi-
tated the soloGs was the audaclty of
the company-as they ,ernci TIN
going ahead without permission. They
started out to find the mayor. Work
was prosecuted vigorously in the in.
term, and all day. in fact, for ro
further effort was made to stop At. The
cOuncilmen rar against a snag and con-
cluded to make haste slowly.
1t was found that according to the
ordinance granting the franchise, the
company can double track the entire
street if it so desires. Tho ordinance
authorizes the Carhondale Traction
company " ld lldChS an OpAIdIp Il
stl eet railway on certain sire ats IN the
city of Carbondale." 1t was amended
recently and the first lire of the amend
ment reads: THE tracks Of said rail-
way shall be of standard guage," etc.
Again in section three the amend
ment reads: THE tracks to he laid in
the centre of the street on Belmont
street from Clark avenue to the On
tario and Western crossing"
Tracks is used in other paragraphs
of the ordinance and as far as the let
ter of this law is concerned the streets
might be filled full of tracks.
Some fault has been found with the
shape of the new rails. but it will not
cause any trouble. as the ordinance re-
quires that the company "shal line the
rails with moulded bricks to conform
to the shape of the rail"
Now as to the Church street switch
1t will not injure anyone, but it will
enable the company to give better SER
vice.
The thoroughfare was blocked yes
terday between Salem and Lincoln ave-
nues, but will probably be made pass
able today.

the confusion which might result from
changing pace, the number of pace
makers may be cut down to three. each
one carrying Colby around two laps.
In this case, Dargie, Bailey and Stone
will probably be selected
Another Gardner rider who is CAPABLE
of making a good fight for the record
is A. w. Hemenway, who is well known
on several Worcester county tracks.
He tried the six-pacemaker system last
evening with good results. Two bad
pickups among the pacemakers caused
him to slacken his speed each time but
ne crossed the tape in I'm. 16s 1t is
more than probable that he would have
got in inside of Pm. las. had eyery-
thing gone smoothly.
The track is in better condition than
1t was when Raymond made the rec
ord, which has stood for two wears.
The cementing of the corners this
spring has made the track faster. and
1t is probable that the record will he
broken this year.
