ANIMALS IN OPERAS.
They Are Omitted From Only Three of
nnerax

"aSner's Operas.
Wagner introduced animals into all
but three OF his operas C"The Flying
Dutchman," Tristan and "Die
Meistersinger") horses in "RienM,"
"Tannhauser," Die Walkure," and
Die Gotterdammerung;" swans in
''Lohengrin" and "Parsifal;" birds in
"Lohengrin,' "Segfried," and die
Gotterdammerung;" ram in Die
Waikure;;' bear and a dragon in
'Siegfried." The swans the dragon
and the forest bird are expressed by
some of the most beautiful music in
the operas. Wagner has been much
criticised, and was at the time much
laughed at, for his use of animals in
serious OPERA but not even his friends
and brother musicians could argue him
out OF it. Other composers. it is true.
had occasionally introduced animals
into the OPERA notably Mozart in the
Magic Flute" But in Mozarts op-
era the animals have no essential con-
nection with the story Their intro
duction is almost as accidental and
irrelevant as the happenings in a vau-
heville. Wagner was the first to make
the animals part of the cast, dramati-
= cally connected with the whole. Crane,

Of Jerusalem have been dependent on

WORK OF RELAXING THE

The Worcester Consolidated Street
Railway Company is once more held up

Main Street This time it is the special
work that is to be used in making the
connections at Park Street that has
has gone wrong. The engineer for the
Wharton people of Philadelphia, who
are getting out the special work, made
a mistake in his plans, and it is found
the work sent on will not fit the job,
so it will have to be held up until the
special rails can be got out.
General Manager Richard 7. Latin
of the Consolidated company returned
vests day from the annual convention
of the Street Railway Association of
America, at Madison Square Garden,
in New York. He says the display of
street railway work in the garden was
the best he ever saw, and any street
railway man had to be benefited by
what he saw there. Every phase of
the operation of a street railway was
thoroughly discussed by experts on the
jobs, and many new ideas were
brought out.

p RoPosED M'KlNLEY MEMORIAL

PROPOSED M'KINL6Y MEMORIAL
The statement issued by the McKin-
ley National Memorial Association
whose trustees met in Cleveland, Ohio,
and organized Thursday, is in part as
follows:
1.-THE purposes of the association as
defined in it's certificate of incorpora-
ton are the erection and maintenance
at Canton, O., of a suitable memorial
to the late President, and raising the
necessary funds for said purposes; and,
after fully providing therefor, the sur
plus of such fund, if any, to be de-
voted to such memorial as may be pro-
vided for the late President at the
national capitol The memorial will
be erected at Canton. that city having
been his home throughout his public
life, and selected by him as his final
resting place.
THE memorial is to be, in the highest
sense, the sincere expression of all the
people of the country of their love for
President Mckinley, and of their adj
miration for the qualities expressed so
eminently in his life and deeds.
ut is the purpose to have the offer
ings of the people voluntary with a full
opportunity to all to contribute.
The cooperation of the governors
and officers of the states and munich
palities of the United States, and all
religious, educational, civic, patriotic,
fraternal, benevolent and other organ
izations is cordially invited.
IAN public officials, organized bodies
and the press are requested to take
immediate steps to secure, at the earli
est possible time, a full response to this
appeal. The association looks to the
press of the country to lend its eff
cient aid to the collection and forward
ing of subscriptions.
Moneys may be deposited in banks
and other financial institutions, with
telegraph telephone and express Offices,
and with postmasters, who are re-
quested to receive and transmit them
to the treasurer promptly.
THE trustees of the association will
receive subscriptions. Subscriptions
abroad may be received by the am
bassadors, ministers and consuls of the
United States, and in Cuba, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine
Islands by the respective governors
thereof, or persons authorized by them.
Remittances may be made directly to
Col. Myron T. Herrick, treasurer,
Cleveland, 0.
THE association will prepare and
distribute to all donors to the fund a

worthy of preservation as evidence of
the holders participation in the work.
The name and postoffice address of
each contributor should be forwarded
to the treasurer of the association with
the fund RENTED for preservation in
the permanent archives of the associa-
ton.
1T is hoped that the response of the
people will be 50 liberal that a memoir
ial may be erected which will fittingly
honor the memory of our martyred
President, and emphasize their loyalty
to our institutions and their abhor-
renee of that spirit of lawIessness
which inspired the assault upon his
life"

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The declaration of martial law
throughout Cape Colony, even in the
seacoast towns, comes almost to day
on the second anniversary of the be-
ginning of the war. The British cele-
brate by confessing that the war is
more serious in their own dominions
than at any previous time. Martial
law in all Cape Colony can mean but
one thing, that the situation there is
too ugly for civil law to cope with. The
effect of the declaration upon the
Dutch of the colony may prove to be
the reverse of what Lord Miner ex-
poets. 1t is a fact that no severe war
measures thus far instituted by the
British in their South African conquest
has had pacificatory influence. Farm
burnings, recommendation, threats of
permanent Punishment, all have made
the Dutch the more bitter and stub
born.-Springfield Republican.

turers themselves are to start a trust
