The State Legislature has practically COM
pleted its work, and about all that remains
TO be done is 10 hear messages from the
Governor as to the disposition Of different
measures that have been sent 70 him. In
both houses yesterday morning a message
was read from the Governor stating that
he would receive bills up 10 II a. m.
II was found necessary TO pass another
appropriation bill yesterday in order to
finish paying the expenses OF the General
Assembly. The discovery was made in the
state auditors Office that the $685. 600 appro-
priated early in the session would be in
sufficient. Yesterday afternoon in the
House Representative King introduced a
bill appropriating $4,000 for this purpose,
and the measure was passed under a sus-
pension Of the rules. The bill was then
sent over to the Senate. but the members
Of that body. being in a playful mood,
Matched up a scheme by which they might
have some fun with the House members.
The senators declined TO pass the measure
and the House members went over TO see
them, and they also became filled with the
spirit of playfulness. There was much ora
tory on either side and the fun waxed fast
and furious. Finally, however, the meas
ure was passed under a suspension of rules.
Both houses adjourned early in the after
noon to meet at 2 o'clock tomorrow.

HORSE PLAY IN HOUSE.
All Kinds of Absurd Resolutions Sent
TO the Speakers Desk.

The House held short sessions Yesterday.
the first one beginning at 10 o'clock in
the morning. The session was opened with
prayer by Rabbi 7. Wachsler. The men,
bers were inclined to be playful during
the session. and one of the first humor-
Gus attempts on the part Of the House
was an effort 10 have the journal read.
Later a resolution was offered at the ex-
pense of the minority. 1t was to the ef-
feet that it was the sense of the House
that the distinction OF being the leader

Representative Louttit again sought to
have his resolution giving cities the right
10 adopt their own charters passed by the
House. but the vote ON the motion TO sus-
pend the rules failed TO carry TOR lack OF a
constitutional majority.
Representative Slack introduced a motion
making il the sense of the House that
Mormonism and pOlygamy be condemned.
Mr.. Whitcomb objected TO the word Nor
monism' in the resolution. He said he
believed there was much that was good in
the religion OF Mormonism. but he thought
polygamy should be condemned. The
author OF the resolution accepted an amend
ment. and the word "Mormonism" was
stricken out. Mr.. Stacks action was based
on the address delivered In the Senate
some time ago - Mrs. White. OF Philadel-
phia. when she urged the Indiana Legisla-
ture 20 strike a blow al poiygamy.

DEMOCRATS OPPOSED 1T.
They Are Responsible for the Failure
of the Bill.

1t was the plan TO try to get a bill
through the Legislature yesterday separat-
ing the Industrial School for Girls from
the m Prison. Many Of the men,
bers were convinced that the Legislature
should not adjourn without some step be-
ing taken in this direction. Early yester-
day afternoon Representatives Whitcomb
and Statesman discussed the matter, and it
was decided that Mr.. Statesman should
move to reconsider the vote by which the
enacting clause of Senator Agnew's bill was
stricken out on Friday, and if this motion
was successful to amend the measure by
substituting for il the Goodwine bill, which
was introduced Friday afternoon. Both OF
these bills provided for the separation or
the industrial school and prison. The Ag-
new bill was killed Friday morning because
the members of the House had not had
time TO fully investigate it. The Cool
wine bill came up in the afternoon, and
many of those who opposed the ASneW Dill
favored the GOodwine measure. "A majority
OF the Democrats. however, opposed the
measure and refused TO vote to suspend the
rules % that the bill could be passed.

detained i'm the Senate in the interests Of

his motion. IT is probably now too late to
accomplish anything in this direction.

ACTION ON HOUSE BILLS.
Governor Durbin Disapproves of Two
or Three Measures.

Several messages from the Governor were
read 20 the House yesterday pertaining 10
different bills which the chief executive
had under consideration. one was House
bin No. 54l, which the Governor returned
without his signature. The bill amended
Section l Of an act providing for the In
CORPORATION of street-railroad companies.
The Governor returned the bin for the
reason that a Senate bill which had al
ready become a law at this session is
identicaIiy the same measure. The Gov
ernor felt shat the passage OF the House
bill would only add confusion.
Morton, defining the Thirty-sixth and For
ticth judicial circuits, creating the Fortietn
circuit and abolishing the owar Superior
Court. was returned by the Governor with
his disapproVal. At the present time the
Thirty-siXth circuit Is composed OF the
counties of Howard and Upton. There Is
also z Superior Court composed of the
counties of Howard and Grant. The Nor
ton bill proposed 10 create a new circuit
for Howard county. Governor Durbin held
that no sufficient reason had been shown
for the creation of such new circuit.
Neither have the judges Of either the
Circuit or Superior Courts sitting in How
ard county informed me that they cannot
satisfactorily transact all the business COM
ing II their courts I'm Howard. Upton AMI

ssid further that IL: at the end Of two

A Senate Bill Vetoed.

Governor Durbin yesterday vetoed SEN
ate Bill No. 232. 1t was an act which
authorized the issuance of search warrants
by justices of the peace. and permitted
constables to search any house, structure or
place for any game or fish alleged TO be
held contrary TO the law.
The Governor. I'm his objections TO the
bill, says: This is an unnecessary and I'M
warranted interference with personal liber-
ty. 1t might not be abused, but it opens
the way for very great abuse. A mans
house should be his castle, and his nome
should be protected from unwarranted
search. This right is guaranteed by the
Constitution OF the United States. 1t is
fundamental in our system Of government.
We inherited IL from our fathers"
The Governor further says that ample
authority exists now TO make all reasonable
search, and that he would not consent to
such unusual delegation of authority to the
constables of the State.

An Incident in the House.

An unpleasant incident took place in the
House yesterday, Just after the morning
session adjourned, in which Representative
Statesman and Speaker Altman were in
volved. A few days ago the speaker noti-
fec the members of the House that he pro-
posed TO have the desks cleaned of books
and papers by Saturday, so that there
would be no temptation for members to in
dulge in boisterous conduct in the way of
throwing books, etc. at each others heads.
Yesterday Mr.. Statesman became very in
dignant over the fact that his desk had
been cleared of books and papers. He said
there were some documents on the desk
that he desired to keep, and he charged
the speaker with having exceeded his au-
thority in ordering the desks cleaned. He
also demanded that the taken
from his desk be replaced. This the speaker
declined TO have done, and the manner of
his reply irritated the gentleman from
Miami. Il did not suppose you would" he
said. You have about as much courtesy
as a Berkshire pig" The incident. unpleas-
ant as II was, was thus apparently closed.

said, IF the law proposed to be amended
was ever in force in Indiana At any rate.
IL has never been acted upon, and such u
law Is not now nor never has been recog-
Iized in the management of the Statehouse
CT public buildings" The Governor said he
did not Object 10 the compensation fixed IN
the bill. He had in mind only the validity
OF the bill should il become a law. he
thought the appropriations this year were
sufficient To pay al compensation provided
for in the bill, so that practically the re-
suit sought for in the bill would be reached
through the appropriation measure. The
House was informed that the Governor had
deposited with the secretary of state, with
cut his signature. the following measures:
House bill No. $50. legalizing certain ex-
penditures OF certain township trustees Of
Spencer county House DILL No. 539. relating
TO gravel roads. and House bill No 2S,
legalizing the acts of the Board OF County
Commissioners OF Owen county with refer
ence to gravel road proceedings. The Gov
cTnor some days ago returned this bill TO
the House with his disapproval, out yes
terday withdrew the bill. and it Will be-
Gene a law without MS signature.

Press Representatives Banqueted.

Senators Inman, Fortune and Stillwell
last night entertained the representatives
OF the press who have had the Senate work
during the present Legislature with a ban
quet at the Grand Hotel. Senator Inman
presided at the head of the table, and
called upon all those present for short ad-
dresses. The responses were highly compli-
mentary TO the senators, who showed their
appreciation by their pleasant remarks.
The entire evening was pleasantly spent at
the banquet table.

 Lohengrin." If anything were to be galned by making a catalogue of them, I should insert one here; but there is alto gether too much cataloguing of leading motives. There is nothing in the music or any Wagner drama which Is not fully explained by the text. and it is only nec- essary to bear ip mind the fact that Wag- ner aimed at an organic union between poetry and music, and not a mere pro- duction of ear-tickling sounds. Further- more. general consent seems to have ex- cepted "Lohengrin" from the necessity of explanation. No one writes handbooks to It. This Is not because it Is a more satisfactory work of art than any other work of Wagner. but because while its musical form is radically different from that of the distinctively Italian opera. its musical style Is immediately appreciable by the least -educatesA- ear. An examina- tion of the score win show that 1t teens with beautiful and original ideas, and that it is remarkable embodiment of
The age-herald., 1901-10-27

suggestion of the text from the beginning of each act to the end.
 A natural result of this plan is the firm and convincing coherency of the music. The style Is absolutely unique, and It's individuality is preserved from begin ming to endA Only in the beginning of the second act Is there a complete departure from the essentially sweet and fluent character of the melody; but the duet be- tween Ortrud and Telramund Is, perhaps, the most satisfactory exposition of Wag- ners genius in the whole work. Certain ly nowhere else in "Lohengrin' do poetry, scenic painting. music, and action unite so perfectly in the production of that dramatic totality which Wagner called the art-work of the future. I recommend to those who sincerely desire to under stand Wagner's theory of operatic art careful study of this scene, not alone In the score, but in the theatre, where only 1t Is to be observed in its entirety.
 Leading-motives are used in this opera, but only incidentally, as they were in "Tannhauser." The system had not reach- ed It's perfection in the masters mind. and the typical phrase" had not yet

Ortrud, in this moment of tri- umph. cannot refrain from declaring that the swan Is no other than Elsas missing brother changed into a bird by her en- chantments. Lohengrin prays the swan is retransformed into Elsa's brother, and a dove draws away the boat containing the Knight of the Grail
 It would not be at all difficult to write a long essay on the music of "Lohen- grin," but this is not the place for it. The work belongs to what is known as Wagner's transition-period. It stands be- tween the two earlier works, in which old operatic forms and traditions are to a considerable extent preserved, and the later creations of the master. in which his own theories are fully developed In 'Lohengrin'' we first meet with Wagner's Continuous melody" There are no sep arate numbers as there were in the old operas. and as these are even in Tam hauser." but the music flows spontane- ously in faithful accompaniment to the
