Opera in Germany.

Opera is serious business I'm Germany.
At all OF the capitals II is supported by
the governments. under the direction OF
official. who looks after II as closely as
he looks after the hospitals or the schools.
IL is considered a necessary feature of
German education, and although the pub
lie are required TO pay a reasonable price
for admission tickets. IL Is much smaller
than is charged anywhere in the United
States, and is usually less than the ad-
mission price TO ordinary theatres. A
certain standard OF excellence is required.
and the deficit In the receipts is always
made up from the treasury OF the state
or the municipality. Usually the price OF
admission varies from Is cents TO 81, ac-
cording 10 the location OF the seats. with
little extra for Wagner operas. because
IL costs so much more to produce them.
In Berlin the charges are higher than
anywhere else In Germany-from 81
cents To S-according 10 location, for
which you get from four to six hours OF
solid music-sometimes seven hours. The
best opera is in Dresden.
People do not dress for the opera here
as in other countries. You see no ladies
with low-neck dresses. and very few gem
tlemen with evening suits. Nor is IL GUS
tomary TO applaud except when the per-
formance has been unusually brilliant
and even then, under the most sensa-
tional circumstances. all marks OF APP
proval must be reserved until the end OF
the act. No encores are permitted. be-
thCN a. n
Not note is cut out OF the score, which
is given entire on all occasions. The per-
formance often begins as early as
o'clock, and sometimes lasts for i've and
six hours. People eat an early dinner be-
fore they go, have glass OF beer and a
sandwich after each act and supper when
they return TO their homes. Berlin fash
ionable society has required The postpone
ment until 1880 o'clock, but at that hour
the doors are shut and nobody Is admitted
into the auditorium during the perform
ance. Late comers are compelled 10 wait
until the end Of the first act.
People who are IN the habit OF attend
Ing the opera regularly buy season tick
cts I'm order 10 enjoy the advantage OF
lower rates. and then place on sale at
agencies maintained for that purpose
seats for the evenings when they don't
care to go. There are two or three places
I'm Berlin where strangers can purchass
such reserved seats till / o'clock on The
day OF the performance. In every opera
house there is large promenade rpcm
where beer, wine and other refreshments
are served, and II the interval between
the acts Is ten minutes or longer the On
tire audience deserts the auditorium and
goes there To gossip and take refresh
ments. AS a rule, German opera perform
ers are better singers than actors. Berlin

THE MAN FOR THE SENATE

From the northwest corner of Clat-
SOP to the southeast corner of Malheur
and from the northeast corner of Wal
Iowa to the southwest corner of Curry
&. W. Fulton is known and liked,
Perhaps no other man in the entire
state Of Oregon is more popular than
he, Since his ,arly manhood, when
his youthful countenance and frayed
trousers denoted that he was starting
at the bottom of the ladder of life to
make name for himself in the world,
Mr.. Fulton has studied the needs OF
his state, He has grown up with Ore
gon. and his interests have always CEN
tered here. He has served the pub
lie in the legislature for many years
and is conversant with the needs of
every section. He knows the people
OF the state--not alone those of promi-
nence but as well those who have not
gained distinction. He is acquainted
with public sentiment on topics of ma
tional. state and local Importance. and
his whole career has been devoted to
tile advancement of the interests of the
people of this commonwealth. When
discussions at home have taken on
nhases that were not at all times logi-
al or reasonable. he has fearlessly
pointed out the error of the situation.
He mas been the safaty-valve of his
home city and county, and his mature
Judgment has often been consulted
when the interests of the state were
vitaIly concerned. An honest desire
to promita the veal of Oregon has
placed C. W. Fulton in the exalted po-
sition he occupies.
Politically he has been liberal almost
to fault. His standing in his party
long ago entitled him to recognition,
but iii the interest of harmony he has
heretofore sacrificed mis- own ambitions
for those of his friends. He is uni
versally beloved by his party for his
fealty TO its principles and to its stand
ard d-hearers, and in the unfortunate
suuabbie of 1898 was the only dele
gate to the Astoria convention who
could bring about peace between the
warning factions. Dissensions have
damnened the ardor of other republic
ans of prominence, but MIR. Fulton has
always been found on the firing line.
He has never wavered in his loyalty
10 republicanism, nor pursued a "rule-
or-ruin'' policy. With him the wishes
