1t has been the custom to have the distribution
Of gifts held in Of the theatres. but for the
last two or three years the crowd has been so
great that there has been positive danger to the
children and this year it was planned to have it

BAYREU1H INTERESTED.
Coming Production of "Parsifal" in
New-York Is Eagerly Awaited.
WAGNER USED AN AMERICAN PIANO

Bayreuth. Dec ALI Bayreuth is deeply in
terested. naturally, in the coming production OF
''ParsifaI' in New-York. Born with a mighty
reverence-an almost worship-for Wagner. there
is no native of the home town but thinks in his
heart of hearts that the beautiful theater erect
ed by the Master in 1876 is the only fitting
place to hear that work in which his genius
shines out with consumnate briIIiancy. Here
every detail has been given careful thought;
every part OF the scenery and staging is cal
culated to combine in exquisite whole. The
tender soul music is clothed in just the right
setting: the wonder Of the symbolism loses
nothing in the surroundings: and no false light
is permitted TO obscure the authors interPreta-
ton. And Nine Wagners fear that the ATneri-
can mind may fail to the religious drama
with the reverence which accompanies right
understanding. and that Mr.. Conried may not
present it with that sympathetic care IL receives
in Bayreuth pervades the heart Of every true
10y er of that opera where WaGner's strong soul
is concentrated in a superb, mind-avakening
swan song Yet there is an undercurrent OF
faith that the apt Western temperament will
grasp the philosophy; that the moral lessons il
teaches will sink into the American soul TO bud
forth into the perfect flower OF true sympathy.
and that the understanding discussions
about the blasphemy of the drama will be
hushed by the power OF reality. A new develop
ment lies in Wagner for all who do not know
him And America is beginning TO feel his in
huence. think, and 10 appreciate niH II IS
tine-high time. Wagner always appreciated
America He admired the nervous energy and
enterprise of the people. He even composed
this greatest OF his works on an American
piano. All those years, as ne drew the souls
~ Kuudry Of Amfortas and OF Parstfal out OF
the tangle OF mythology and nodded them IN in
the strength and grandeur Ct his own unique
rnantaltty-au those years, as he worked on the
score OF .'Parsifal.'' he used a Sleek piano. In
snffA Of the long famed pianos Of his beloved
bavaria and OF an innate preference for the
things OF his own land he acknowledged the
supremacy OF that far-distant new world. and
nrodted by his appreciation He enjoyed the
Frnits of YOUR efforts. We ask you now 10 enjoy
the fruits OF his and 70 receive this creation
which Ne most cherish, and which We have so
long and jealousy guarded, in an appropriate
spirit

THE STRIKERS STATEMENT.

Trolley Company Which Pays It's Help
 231A Cents an Hour.
 The strikers executive committee is- sued their 193d daily statement this af- ternoon, as follows:
 s'It will be of local interest to hear what the Rev Joel T. Tucker, pastor of the Richmond, Va East End Baptist church had to say in recent sermon in which he took occasion to refer to the trolley strike down there. He said: T believe when employees of great cor porations learn that they are not get ting their proper wages and that the corporation is making great money out of them they are justified in asking for more money. And want to say here in regard to street car men, if there is one of them getting rich, I don't know it. If there is one buying a house. don't know it. Yet chal- lenge any man to bring to me class of men that has served the city better than our street car men. Many Of them are sons of our very best citizens. When beefsteak gets to be IS cents a pound and a chicken such as good hearty man could eat two or three of, sells for 25 and 28 cents apiece. and their homes and doctors bills to pay and many other difficulties in life, ne cessity at times drives man to do what he does not want to do. I be- lieve that the one great sentiment of the city ought to be to-day to say to those in authority that this question should be submitted to arbitration
 Ut will also be of local interest to know what the Detroit Trolley Go has agreed to do with its employees in an agreement dated July 3d. The com pany agrees to employ only members of our union. Nine hours constitutes a days work. All conductors and motormen to receive B F cents an hour, and no single trip to be consider ed less than one hour. We did not ask for nearly so much here in Waterbury. Why should we not be compensated as we'll here as like workers are in De- troit? An agreement just entered into by the Scranton, Pa, company and its men gives the men an increase of forty per cent in wages and shorter hours. Boss Farley was in Scranton trying to bust things there, but he utterly fail- ed, judging from the above informa- tion.
 About 2:45 yesterday afternoon Deserter Miles Booth added another accident to the growing list, on East Main street, near Orange street. An elderly lady, who was alighting, was thrown 'twister' by the premature ringing of the bell to start. No note, of course, was taken of the accident and the empty car sped on. We under stand Booth has already received one call from Superintendent Wales for similar accident He ought to have heard the one he got from the passen- ger he upset yesterday"
