METROPOLITAN MUSIC.

The first American representation of any
novelty of acknowledged merit deserves
mention, especially If the novelty Is a
work Of art. Spenell.s "A Basso Porto, -
Russian, in its English dress. as AT the
Lower Harbor," was produced al the
American theatre last week with such
signal success that the unanimous desire
of those who heard it was that the
theatres rigid time limit might be abro-
gated and that, instead of one week, two.
three and possibly four weeks ought to be
given TO this powerful music-tragedy.
The story is not a pretty one. Lust
and murder are It's foundation pillars:
intrigue and cunning the frame work of Its
superstructure. And yet the tale is so
overshadowed by the grandeur Of a human
passion that one forgets the grinning
skeleton Of crime that lies beneath the
beauty, the tenderness of a mothers de-
votion. Briefly told the plot is this: A
woman, dishonored and flung aside like
a torn glove, plots the death of her con-
ventionally married rival. Revenge in her
former lover brings him to her home
where he seeks the love of her beautiful
daughter only to throw her upon the
world a wanton, and to so disgrace her
son by dissipation and crime that he may
end his days on the gallows. There are,
of course, counter-plots of semi-national
Importance, that give strength to the
main issue, and lift it from the pot house
mire of brutal sensuality. But, the story
is as 1 think you will grant, not a pretty
one,
But the music! A German composer
would have chosen a theme more phil
osophic and less human or with this story
would have emphasized the national
side of it, and made the pedestrian one
prolonged clang of arms. A French musi-
clan would have filled the score with
musical inuendoes-made the story less
strong and more nasty, and woven in and
about it wonderful pageants and ballads.
But the Italian, loving life for the very
sake of living-sieZes upon the very
virility of life for his theme, and pictures
it with such brilliant musical hues that all
other life seems tame, stupid, lacking in
interest. How human are the violins?
How throbbing with sorrow that bit for
the solo cello! There are sobs in the
wood winds and cries for vengeance from
the brasses. The musical phrases given
the erring, suffering mother transfgures
murderess and she becomes God-sent
Nemesis for good Even the stirring
choral climaXes pulsate with passion.
Life life everywhere! Low life to be sure,
sin-stained life, life with which you and I
would not care to rub elbows, but, life,
that enchains our attention by the very
force of its sorrows-life that sweeps US
with it into eddies and over shoals, and
leaves us bruised and stained with mire.
Such is the effect OF SpenelIi's music.

This thing of shouting ''treason!"
ut everybody who dares to dissent from
the imperial policy, ought to be stop
ped, particularly when the epithet is
applied to member of Congress. Ev-
cry citizen has a right to express his
opinion CT the policy of the govern
ment freely, and to criticize public
officials and to censure them if so
minded. Any restriction of this right
is a wrong.

allegiance to each successive Interpreter
of the part--the herdc Lehman, the
brilliant Nordica, the virile Brema-to each
and all have / been faithful, claiming that
no one mortal could portray all the vari-
Gus meanings of this wondrous Goddess
woman. And, surely enough, Frau
Ternina, following the long line of
Wotans daughters, has exhibited side
heretofore touched upon but lightly by her
predecessors. The womanliness of her ma
ture was brought out in exquisite detail.
1t was exhibited in her solicitude for the
unhappy Sieglinde with rare force, and
in her own sad parting from her father,
the daughter predominated over the God
dess. | very much doubt If there was ever
so much that was soul-satisfying, packed
into one act of any operate work. The
orchestral wizard of Baireuth has SEEM
ingly been lifted to unusual heights even
for him and poured into the score of this
last act. treasures that would rob an
other storehouse of his material for years
to come. And now to infuse into this
idyll a new reading of a part-give it a
new meaning an added color, an extra
charm-this is indeed delight All hail,
Ternina. FREDERIC DEAN.

A LAW REGULATING MARRIAGE.

A bill has been introduced in the Col
orado Legislature providing for the
further regulation of marriages by pre-
scribing a physical examination, and
Governor Thomas has promised to
sign the measure il it is placed be-
fore him. Something in the ma
ture of life insurance test is to
be required and the general purpose
of the bill is aimed at the increasing
number of marriages among consump-
tives. A board of three examining ply
sicians is to be constituted in each
county of the State, one of whom is
to be a female, and the refusal of
such board to grant certificate to one
or both parties applying for license
prohibits the issuance of such papers
The proposed law appears to have
popular approval in Colorado, and its
due enactment is confidently predicted.

an makes a false move when she speaks
of another woman" to the man whose
affection for her is on the wane. In the
present instance the accusation was ut
terly without foundation, and her remark
irritated him beyond measure; it seemed
to annul and wipe out the score OF his
own shortcomings toward her, and to
make himself not her, the injured one.
She saw her mistake. She was no fool;
she was quick enough sharp as needle
where her love did not, as love invaria-
bly does. warp and blind her judgment.
II am sorry, Maurice" she said, hum

that in fact, our engagement snail De

prospects no brighter. in five years from
now-well. then, let us each be free TO
marry elsewhere"
There was a moment or two of silence
between them. Maurice bent forward IN
his chair, leaning his arms upon ms
knees, and staring moodily into the tlre.
He was weighing her proposition.
Helen knelt bolt upright in front OF
him, watching his face. How passionate
ly she desired to hear him Indignantly
repudiate the half liberty she offered nm!
How ardently she desired that he should
take her in his arms and swear to her
that he would never consent to her terms
1t had been her last expedient to revive
the old love, to rekindle the dead ashes
of the smoldering fire. Surely, If there
was but spark of it left, it must leap up
into life and vitality again at her words
But, as she watched him, her heart sank
cold and colder within her. She had cast
her last die and lost. But, for all that,
she was not minded to let him go free.
Surely she said, wistfully, you can
not find my terms too hard to consent to
--you-who love mev
He turned to her quickly and took her
hands, every feeling of gentleman-like
honor, every spark Of manly courtesy
toward her, aroused by her gentle words.
Say no more, Helen-you are too good
too generous to me. 1t shall be as you
say"
And then he left, thankful to escape
from her presence and to be alone again
with his thoughts in the raw darkness of
the November evening.

Bubonic Disease in Hawaii vigorously
Held in Check.
There have been six deaths from bu-
bonic plague in Honolulu. Five of them
occurred within period of thirty-six
hours, Dec. IL and II. The sixth oc-
Cured Dec. IA. Strict quarantine Of the
districts in which the ague appeared
has been established. A house-to- house
cleaning of all the infected districts has
been made, and it is believed that no
more cases will develop, or if they do
that there will be no chance of the dis
ease gaining a foothold or assuming the
proportions of an epidemic.
OF the six victims four were Chinese,
one was Gilbert islander and one
Hawaiian woman. The four Chinese and
the Hawaiian woman died in the Asiatic
quarter Of the city. The Gilbert island
er died some distance awaysin another

tendance was inaugurated. Every case
Of sickness of whatever nature is report
ed Immediately to the board of health
and physician from the board is sent
to make an examination and make GER
tain that it is not case of plague. Ev-
cry death is thoroughly investigated.
1t is feared that the bubonic plague
has reached Manila, and the health au-
thorities are exercising the utmost vigil
lance to prevent the spread Of the
scourge. Two suspicious deaths have al
ready occurred.
