VETERANS At THE TOPIN OPERA
Jean de Reszke Has New Triumph In
Paris-And LII Lehman Has Hers.


This is the day Of the veterans in opera
Jean de Reszke has just had triumph at
the Grand Opera in Paris, where he sang
Canio in Il Pagliacci- for the first time "A
few days ago He refused to sing at all
there during the present season unless
Ieonca vallo's opera was performed. So
in spite of its unsuitableness to a theatre
of such traditions the opera had to be per-
formed, and il was great success.
Ruggiero Leoncav vallo came from Italy
to direct the rehea rsals, and only the rule
that prohibits composers from appearing <
on the stage of the Grand Opera kept him
from acknowledging the enthusiastic ap-
pause Of the audience. Delrnar, who sang
Tonic, was called before the curtain five
times after the prologue.
Jean de Reszke's success was perhaps
greater dramatically than vocally.. al
though his singing Of the music is said to
have been passionate and beautiful in many
parts And Canio was a part which many
of his admirers thought entirely unsuited
to him. When II is remembered that be
has been singing since 1874 his success in
Paris seems more remarkable than ever.
Undoubtedly he will be heard here next

been highly popular here. but NJ. de Reszke

Lilli Lehman is another veteran who has
Just returned TO the operate stage. She
appears for brief season AZ the Imperial
Opera House In Vienna. She sang Isolde
there and is said to have been in wonderful

of those who praised her SO highly that she

TIMES ARE GOOD

A. S. Thurber Tells of Progress
of the Times in Sound Cities

A. S. Thurber the we'll known manu-

extended business trip to Portland and
Sound cities.
When seen by a Teller reporter Mr..
Thurber said
Business appears good at all points
on the coast, in fact / have never be-
fore heard of such good business, es-
pecially in the Sound country as they
are having this winter. The Alaskan
business at Seattle is as big as ever,
and while no great rush is now being
made to that country, 1t is the sub
stantial business man that is entering
the field.
1.-The day of the prospector has
passed, so far as the rush is concerned,
and has been replaced with capital who
are entering Alaska to work the rich
mines there with tons of machinery.
"The new oil fields in Alaska are also
attracting attention and many people
in Seattle are becoming interested in
them.
while in Portland l had occasion to
visit number of business people, and
the many expressions l have heard con-
cince me that Lewiston is we'll thought
of at that place"
