IFrom our own Correspondent


Assemblvman Dresser has pre-
scented a measure which will be
great interest throughout North
ern Wisconsin, in that it increas-
es the minimum liquor license
fee which can be carged by vii
lagos TO $4,000. Already too
it can be said the opponents to
this bill are showing a good deal
of activity, and the representa-
tives of the brewing interests
who are here claim that in many
of the smaller towns Of Northern
Wisconsin such a license fee
would prove practically prohibit
tive Mr.. Dresser however claims
that $500 is the minimum license
fee in villages in Minnesota, and
declares that the law has proved
a very excellent one in that state,
Assemblyman Greer, of Lang
lade county, has presented a
coounty division bill which would
r-store Forest county to the
same limits it had before the law
of two years ago was passed.
Towns now N Oneida and Villas
counties would be placed back in
Forest county should the present
bill become law.
AssemblYman Hoch1e thinks
that only citizens should vote,
and has presented to the legisla-
ture a joint resolution for an
amendment to the constitution,
providing that before a person
shall be entitled to the ballot in
Wisconsin, he shall have been adj
n1itted to full citizenship. In
speaking of the resolution Mr..
Hochle said that he thought that
one year did hot give a long
enough residence III this country,
SO that a person became well
enough acquainted with les laws
and customs to make the best
kind of voter.
One of the measures which is
causing considerable comment
out here, Is bill which has been
introduced by Assem- bl lyman
Thomas, making the Evening
Wisconsin, of Milwaukee, the Of
fetal state paper, instead of the
Madison State Journal OF this
city. Your "Unclt Hold" Taylor.
the editor of the Journal can be
depended upon to put a hard
fight against the bill.
Bicycle leglslationis being very
n1merousl y presented to this
legislature. Besides the bills,
making bicycles baggage, meas
ures have been introduced per-
hitting the organizations of BIZ
cycle insurance companies; pre-
venting cities from licensing bicy-
cles; exe1npting them from taxa
ton and last bat by NO means
least providine that they shall
be considered vehicles in the sense
of giving them a right of way on
the road.
Senator Stout has intr oduced
q bill providing for the appoint
ment of two women as members
of the State Board of Control.
This bill has the support Of the
Women S clubs of Wisconsin, end
also the WOmen's Christian
Temperance Union, and the OBJ
iect of the measure is said to be
the better caringfor the interests
of women patients in the charit-
able institutions and women con-
victs in the penal institutions, it
being claimed that the work
along these lines can be better
accomplished under the direction
of women than of men. 1t is al
SO said that i'll the general care
of state ms titutions the women
would be useful. At least such
are the arguments Of the women

The Heart of Chicago

Commencing with the Christine matinee
1.-THE Heart of Chicago "a comedy drama
of the ultra sensational school, will be the
bill at O'Brien's opera house for two per-
formances. 1.-THE Heart of Chicago" is said
to contain a good story and to possess a
deal of merit It's scenic and mechanical
features are calculated to please the lovers
of sensational m:elo-drama. The two prin-
cipal features of the play are a reproduc-
ton of the scenes during the great Chicago
fire and new railroad effect. This is said
to be complete. Other scenes in the play
represent the Masonic Temple roof garden
at night. The court of honor at the Worlds
fair during night illumination and a piano.

FAVORABLE REPORT
On Samoan Treaties Made by Senate
Committee

Washington, December 2o.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today au-
thorized a favorable report on two treaties
negotiated with. Great Britain and Germa-
ny for the dissolution of the tri-partite
agreement for the control of the Samoan
islands. Senator Bacon, one of the new
members of the committee, was the only
opponent of the treaty, and he did not OBJ
ject to the reporting of it to the senate.
His opposition was directed towards the
acquisition by this country of the island of
Tutuillo, and his opposition to that was
based upon the contention that the consent
of the islanders should be secured. He was
met on this proposition with the statement
that the natives were nothing more than
wandering tribes and with the argument
that the United States could not afford to
forego the opportunity to secure complete
control of Pago-Pago harbor, which this
treaty furnishes.

Atlanta, Ga, December 20.-The remains

day in the soil of his native state. The
funeral was under the direction of the mill
tarv, and the service Of the Episcopal

The body of the dead officer reached At

diately escorted to the capitol, where it
lay in state several hours. Lieutenant

Dewey, placed the magnificent sword pre-
scented Brumay by the people of Georgia
less than two months ago, on the casket.
Among the mass of flowers about the cof-
fin was a great wreath of white roses, ja-

cate ferns and bearing card with the sim

Zaza

"Of course everyone knows who keeps
posted on things theatrical that the three
great successes of the past ten years has
been ]. M Barrie's The Little Minister
Hall Gaines The Christian and David
Relasco 'Zaza'" said John Henry Mar
tin, Charles Frohman's representative, who
is in the city preparing for the presenta-
ton Mr.. Frohman will give to Mr.. Belasco's
play in this city. Both The Little Minis
ter and THE Christian are dramatizations
of novels written by well known authors"
continued Mr.. Martin, "hence they hold
an advantage in that respect in familiarity
to the public over 'Zaza,' which has only its
strength and fame as one of the greatest
plays ever produced to herald it, Notwith-
standing this drawback 'Zaza' has been
probably more widely discussed by press
and public than any play of the age for
the reason that some critics have seen fit
to charge that the play is immortal. WE'LL
about that I can only say, as did a great
French critic when 'Cammille' was pro-
duced in Paris years ago, and the boldness
of its treatment of subject always much
talked about in private, but never before so
boldly paraded upon the stage, had nom
plussed the critics, and they knew not what
| to say, this critic said: I do not care what
| you say. You may praise it or condemn
it; all I know is that it made me cry like
| a calf and that is quite sufficient for me. ;
| Now, if you have not heart of flint, when
Zaza' lays her broken, bleeding heart,
auivering with pain before your eyes in the
fourth act of 'Zaza,' you will do as the
| French critic did, cry like a calf. But
| Zaza' will make you laugh as we'll as cry.
| The most exquisite comedy permeates the
play from the rise of the curtain to its fall
| on the finale. In fact, you will find in
| Taxa more laughter, more tears, more
| thrills, I predict, than any other play has
ever offered you"

"rhe BARBER of sevilleD

The sprightly opera, 1.-THE Barber of Sc
day afternoon and more perfect or pleas
ing rendition has not been heard in Birm-
ingham Tt was the first attempt of the
company. during its engagement at any
thing in the comedy line, and was well re-
ceived.
The cast was in excellent voice and sang
with zest and spirit from beginning to end.
The Barber is most satisfactory OPP
and artistic scope.
Had the cultured audience heard only
Signorina Sostegni, it would have received
full value, for that charming prima donna
part of "Rosina" with freshness and ease
that was delightful in the extreme. Her
Interpretation was most excellent and de-
spite the fact that she sang italian words
it was comparatively easy to follow her
meaning. She is capricious and fascinat-
ing and presents in addition to her charming
voice fine stage appearance, which serves
her to good advantage as the pretty and
vivacous Sevilenese.
There is fascination about her singing
which makes one feel in love with all the
world. Sostegni has a bright future before
her.

most perfect His acting is full of spirit,

~THE PLAY@

By far the most artistically successful
grand opera season in the history of Birm-
ingham was brought to an end last night,
when the lombard Italian Grand Opera
company closed it's engagement at the audi
forum, presenting Verdrs great opera, al
Trovatore," to large and cultured audi
ence.
Again the chief glory was shed around
Signorina Collomarna, who, as "Azucena,"
scored another triumph She acted the
part with wonderful emotion and sang it
superby, holding the audience spell-bound
with her splendid voice. Scarcely more than
girl, Collomarini presents an interesting
study. She is a creature of fire and inspi-
ration, breaking forth in flames of melody
that dazzle the minds eye in their brilllan-
cy and coloring
She is overpowering in her intensity and
earnestness and magnetic in her artistic
ability. Her greatest triumph was in the
scene with "Manrico," where she tells him
the secret of his birth. Here her whole ma
ture is torn by love and hate, and the play
of emotions is marvelously expressed.
signorina Rossi Adalcisa as "Leonora,"
was excellent and she proved herself one
of the stars of the company.
She is not fitted for the part of Leonora
by reason of her appearance, although she
sang her lines well. She is endowed with
fine voice and sings with much feeling
and expression. In the miserene scene she
was especially strong and received tumultu-
Gus applause
Signor Galazzi as Count DeLuna, was an
Improvement over his "Toreador," although
his voice lacks strength.
Signor Pietro as "Manrico'' was we'll re-
ceived, and sang his part aoceptably. He
has a robust tenor in keeping with his
sta tute.
Sgnor Napolevni as Fernando" was
pleasing. His splendid basso is flexible and
sympathetic and his acting expressive.
The minor roles were we'll taken and the
chorus work was good, although the Iatter
is lacking in numbers.

signor Russo as count Almaviva,' fully
sustained his reputation as an artist His
Don Jose" in Carmen" with It's tragic
heights. gave way to the delicate humor
and cunning of the intrepid Count, proving
his versatility. He has the fire of youth
stamped upon his eountenanee and enters
into his work with a visible pleasure.
Signor Bergami, as "Bartalo," had vast
opportunities to display his magnificent
basso. and took advantage of 1t, singing
and acting his part to perfection.
Sgnor Vizzardeh, as Basillo, WAS in
keeping with the rest of the cast, and did
his part admirably.
There is little chorus work in the BAR
ber," but what little there is was well
DONE
The production was in every way an ar
tistic success. and fully merited the liberal
and enthusiastic applause of the audience.

"Dodge's Trip to New York" is the name
of the attraction for tomorrow night at
O'Brien's opera house. The piece is a
species of farce comedy and comes heralded
with the praise of the press wherever 1t
has been performed. Its stage settings and
effects are pronounced elaborate. 1t
abounds with fun given by artistic per-
formers, headed by John e. Henshaw and
May TenBroeck. who are opponents of light
comedy too well known to need any mem
ton in the lines they essay. Everything in
the piece is new and fresh, from the wit TO
the costumes, and two hours of unrestrain-
ed mirth are promised the patrons and
theater-goers of this city. All the latest
musical successes will be heard during the
three acts of the comedy.
