CONRIED'S "PARSIFAL" ARRIVES.
Unwilling to Discuss His Consent 10 Sing
the Part Here-Mme. Tcrnina With Him.

Tie Kronprinz Wilhelm brought in
opera singers, Milka Ternina. Edith Walker
and Alcis Burgstaller, all of whom are to
take part in "Parsifal.' Herr Burgstaller
is to sing the title roe. as he often has at
Payreuth Nine. Ternina will be Kundry,
and Miss Walker will sing the same part
later in the season.
Herr Burgstaller, who went to the Hotel
York, asked to be excused from discussing
his participation in the New York per-
formances of "Parsifal." He owes his
musical education entirely to Nine. Wagner,
WHO took him from a watchmakers bench
in the BavaTian TyTol and had him taught
at Bayreuth. II was his consent to sing
in the opera, as well as that of Anton Van
Rooy. who also had his first opportunities
at Bayreuth, that most astonished Nine.
Wagner. Herr Burgsl aller said that he
might have some explanation to make to-
day.
Nine. Ter1ina went to her rooms at the
Savoy, which have been awaiting her for

Her new Ioles, besides kundrp, will be

Miss Walker is an American singer who
has for eight years been member of the
company at the Imperial Orera House,
in Vienna, where she sang the leading
contralto roles. She will have the roles
formerly assigned to Nine. Schumann-

HIGHWAYMEN USE A CLUB.
Fracture the Skull OF Mount Vernon Man
and Leave Him to Die.

MOUNT VERNON, n. Y. Nov. A.-Horace
Ashby, prominent young Mount Vernonite.
is in the Mount Vernon Hospital suffering
from a fractured skull, which. he says
he received at the hands Of two highway
men early this morning while he was on
his way home. Ashby's condition is serious,
and his chances of recovery are few. Cor
cner Weisendanger Of Yonkers has taken
his arte-mortem statement In which he
insists that his wounds we're inflicted by
footpads, although Chief of Police Foley
is inclined to make light Of his story.
Ashby was found at O'Clock this morn
ing unconscious in the rear OF Motifs stables.
in FIT eenth avenue. near Second street
Ashby says that while he was passing
along Second street at about i30 o'ol ok
this morning two men sprang from behind
trees near the corner OF Fourteenth
avenue and struck him on the head with a
club That was the last he remembered.
When Ashby was found only 10 cents
was in his pockets. although he wns seen
with considerable money In his possession
on Monday night. The theory has been
advanced that the highwaymenr after as
sauting and robbing Ashby carried him
to the rear Of Motifs stables to get him on
the public highway. Another Idea Is that
Ashbv, conscious, walked to Motifs place
and dropped there. exhausted.
Within the last two weeks there have
been about dozen daring robberies in

Mr. Sage said that the per capita cost
of maintenance at the House OF Refuge

less han the average for the FIVE years pre-

had hampered him by an insufficient APP
preparation and that $4,000 more was

for the same period was ga higher.
Menus for corresponding weeks at the
two institutions were compared. During
one week in July the House OF Refuge boys
breakfssted on coffee. bread, and syrup.
At Rochester there we're cereals. milk
meat and other additions. Other meals
showed similar disparities. Mr. Sage de-
clared that the boys had the very best hs
