The second week OF the season OF opera
at the Metropolitan Opera House came to
an end last night with a performance Of
'Lohengrin" In the afternoon Verdi's
'Otello' was repeated before MATINEE
audience Of moderate size. The reasons
for the lack Of popularity Of 'Otello' have
been discussed in this place. and. as they
operate with special force on matinHe-goers,
they need no further account. The cast
yesterday afternoon was the same as at
previous performances OF the opera, except
that David Bispham appeared for the first
time here as Idgo.
Mr.. Scott, who has hvhsfro beeh- TIN
impersonator of the destroyer Of Otollo's
happiness, had on the previous evening
been the representative of the unhappy
Rigoletto, and he could hardly be expected
to sing another heavy role the next after
noon. Mr.. Bispham's Interpretation Of
Idgo was wel-conceived piece of work d.

carefully elaborated details, all of which
had meaning. Mr.. Bispham's art is always

be opened at the Barnard and Walsh schools in September, 1902. This ques- ton should be decided before ordering furniture for these buildings. There are ample funds to cover this expense. The largest item will be the purchase of two pianos which will be partially offset by the difference in cost of fur nishings. In fact a serviceable square piano, not necessarily new, could be purchased so that the cost of furnish ing would be not much, if any, more than the cost of desks.
 It is perfectly feasible to open only one of these schools if the board so desires. If this is done would recoin- mend that the unoccupied room at Barnard be used. Respectfully,
 B. w. TINKER.
 It was decided to establish kinder gartens in the Barnard and Walsh schools, first in the Barnard and grad- ually to extend the system to the fonr quarters of the city. In the matter of kindergartens this town is about 10000 miles behind the age, but it is up with Bridgeport. which may be some com pensation, for Bridgeport has no kim dergartens either. There are ITO kin dergartens in the state and pupils num- bering COCO. Waterbury and Bridge port are the only places of any size that have none. The recommendations were adopted and next September the sys- tenn will open in the Barnard school. The board then adjourned.

Famous House Sold.

NEW YORK, April 24-One of Stat en Islands old landmarks, the St. James hotel, at Port Richmond, built just after the Revolution, was sold this week to William J. Quinlan, a well known business man of Port Rich mond. Although more than hundred years old, the building is in fair state of preservation and was once the home of Aaron Burr. It was in this house that Aaron Burr died. He breathed his last in a room on the second floor on the northeast corner. On one of the window panes he had written his name with his diamond ring.

RUSSIAN DISORDERS.
Eumerous Strikes and Serious Riots
 Throughout the Country.

Numerous Strikes and Serious Riots
 Throughout the Country.
 ST. PETERSBURG, April 24-While the authorities are endeayoring to their utmost to suppress all news of the strikes and disorders occurring in vari- ous sections of the country reports of outbreaks continue to arrive here. The strike of the cotton and silk workers in Moscow and it's vicinity has resulted in serious rioting, including the plunder- ing of houses and stores. The troops vigorously repressed the disorders. Many persons were killed or injured on both sides. The rioters vIo were made captives were knouted. Fresh out breaks are impending.
 The province of Poltava is seething with discontent. A number of cha teaux besides that of the Duke of Mecklenburg have been sacked and burned. There, too, the outbreaks were finally quelled with the utmost sever ity.
 The town and province of Kiev are also exhibiting their discontent. Every where strikers are crying for shorter hours and increased pay, their plea be- ing that similar concessions to labor have been made in other countries. This only increases the efforts of the government to censorize the publica- ton of news regarding industrial con- ditionS elsewhere

SCHEME IS UNIQUE.
A New Britain Contractors Way of
 Settling Labor Difficulty.


 Certificates of incorporation of the firm of c. w. Holmes SS Go of New Britain were filed ill the secretary of states office Tuesday. The company is composed of MT Holmes and five men and back of it's organization is a story of unionism vs non-unionism and an ingenious scheme to get ahead of tLe unions. MT Holmes under q general contract is building a house in New Britain. He has had five non- union men in his employ and when the Building Trades council of New Brit ain found it out it ordered five union masons. employed by a sub-contractor at work on the house. to quit, and they did so Monday, as MT Holmes refused to discharge his men.
 Now Mir Holmes and his five men. objectionable to the Building Trades council because they were not union men, have formed the company in question and technically the non- union men are now employers and no longer employees. The new company has notified the council that it will employ only union men Gf it employs anybody, supposedly, and the com pany is only way of getting union men to work with non-union men.

The occupants saved little or nothing from the burned buildings.

GleaninQs and Comment.

r THe Republl"an State Conven-
ton meets today III Denver to
nominate a state ticket. Next
week we hope to give our readers
more than the mere names of our
candidates. The Republican par
ty has SO many excellent men to
select its state officials from that
we are unable to attempt to name
even the head OF the ticket. The
convention will put in nomination
the strongest and best candidates,
men honest and competent. and
rely on the Republicans and the
element dissatisfied with the Flu
sion Democratic mIsrule tor sup
port at the polls. The campaign
about to begin vii! be one to Sc

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

The Republican leaders are be,
coming very much encouraged
over the situation. and feel as IT
there was a good chance OF the
Republican ticket being elected
tins fall.
And ii cannot b.. denied but
that there is reason for their hope
fulIness, especially If they exhibit
some wisdom in the selection OF
their candidate for governor.
The Democrats are broken up
into factions. AT present these
factions are swearing mad at each
other. OF course the state con-
venlion will allay some OF this
feeling, but there are good pros
poets of many of the sores remain.
ing open until after the election.
Again. the independent voter of
the past few years, he who has
cast his vote for the fusion forces
since 1896, is dong a good deal OF
thinking these days over the
charges of dishonesty made against
Democratic officials by the Rocky
Mountain News and the Denver
Post. If these charges are not
proven false, that kind of a voter
will likely be found in the Repub-
Iican ranks this fall, unless the
Republican party. by Its nomina
tions, shows him that Its success
will only be change of gangs.
In which case the voter may not
think it worth while to change his
party allegiance.
Even though the Democratic
party does not take any of lis can
dida,es from among these officials,
their influence in the state con
ventIon will be felt, and the sue
cessful candidates must be under
more or less obligations to them
for the nomination.
1t will thus be difficult for the
News and the Post to convince
the independent voter that these
candidates. if elected, will not be
under the very influence they have
been denounclng.
If the Republican party presents
united front to the enemy, and
wins the independent, disgnsted
voter, 1t stands good show Of
winning this fall. And its candi-
date for governor is the means

IoOsEyELT's IDEAS On TRUSTS.

s.Ihe first effort to make law is
to .lve somebody the power to
exercise that supervision, that reg,
ulation. We have already laws
ON the statue books. Those laws
will be enforced with all the pow.
er of the national government and
wholly without regard to persons.
But the power is very limited.
Now | want you to take my words
at their exact value. think-l
cannot say l am sure-because il
has often happened Ill the past
that congress has passed laws with
n given purpose in view and when
that law had been Judicially inter
preted 1t has proved tina, TIE pur-
pose was not achIeved-but |
think that by Legislation addition
al power in the way of regulation
of at least number Of these great
corporations can be conferred.
But firmly believe that in the
end power must be gwen, proba-
bly, through a constitutional
amendment. to the national gov
eminent to exercise IN full the
supervision and regulation of these
great enterprises.
