Der Fliegsnde Hollsender' has never been
one OF the popular Wagner operas in New York.
The music IL beautiful and the story is poetic,
but the public refuses TO become interested in
the work. Various explanations have been ad-
vAnced to make clear the cause Of their indif-

Of the story. Another Is the fact that
the leading role Is sung by a BART

A late dispatch from Washington TO

Considerable quiet work is being done to

W. b. Curtis, in a Washington letter
to the Chicago Record under date OF
March IL, says; Sooner or later the
Republican party will come up against
an econmical question which will seem
thousand times more serious than
that which now perplexes it's leaders in
connection with the government Of
Puerto Rice. It will be a blessing for
all concerned il it can be settled by the
courts before it reaches congress, but
even then every Republican, from the
president down, will be compelled to
adapt himself to new conditions which
the expansion policy Of their party has
created. At this session OF congress the
Republican managers and the hightarIff
protectionists have been sorelY disturbed
by the reciprocity treaties which their
oational convention pledged the presi,
deHt to make; by the admission OF
Hawaii, whish was also a prominent
feature in their platform, and by the

Mr.. Martin saw was vastly different. A
black handkerchief Was across the
stranger's face and one end OF a six
shooter was within his hand. The other
end OF the "six" was within about one
inch OF Jos's head. The gun moved, the
masker advanced and Joseph retreated,
facing the foe. About one hundred
dollars we're quickly transferred from
Joe's possession TO- the other fellows.
