RECIPROCITY IS DISCUSSED
MIR. LIND HOPES TO SEE CANADA
AND UNITED STATES UNITED
ON ECONOMIC QUESTIONS.

Washington, Jan. 22.-During a
discussion in the house yesterday on
Mr.. Williams bill to repeal the duty
on coal, Mr.. Lind of Minnesota, spoke
for reciprocity with Canada and
pleaded for freer trade relations with
that country. He hoped to see the
two countries as one at some future
date on economic questions, and also
to see the same policy co-extensive
with the Monroe doctrine.
Mr.. Lacey of Iowa said this was not
the time to take UP the question of
reciprocity with Canada, but added
that he was not opposing the principle,
which was recognized as one Of the
cardinal doctrines of the republican
faith.
Mr.. Williams asked if the republic
cans were going to stand pat on the
currency question and on the trust
question:, and called attention to his
bill declaring over-capitalization a
public swindle. He asked if they were
going to stand pat on the postoffice
investigations; the public land bust
ness, and the ship subsidy question, or
drift along until after election. He
charged that the republican is becom-
ing party Of negation.

Salt Lake City, Jan. 22.-From a
poor chambermaid in a Salt Lake
hotel to the wife of a millionaire min
ing man is the wonderful step that
kind fortune assisted Jeanne ONeill
to take. Like some gallant prince in
fairy tale, John Oldham. a 70-year-

the little chambermaid. finally carry
ing her away to his castle in southern
California as his bride.
Thirteen years ago John Oldham
came to Salt Lake and engaged in the
mining business. With varying sue

wealth, until few years ago several
lucky strikes jumped his fortune into
the millions. Mr.. Oldham has made
his home at the st. Elmo hotel He
has remained bachelor, being COM
pletely absorbed in his work.
But one day he took note Of come
ly and obliging little woman who put
his room to rights, and who took such
good care of his belongings. Daily
meetings with her made a strong i'm
preston upon him, an impression
which rapidly ripened into love. He
began to pay court to Miss O'Neill.
For some time his advances met with
decided rebukes, but finally success
crowned his persistent efforts.
SO they were married. They left
at once for southern California, and
later they will visit the brides old
home in Scotland.

unearthly beauty. Klingsor takes the
sacred spear and mortally wounds Am
fortas with it. Thereafter he hangs be-
tween life and death, forced by his Of
flee to daily administer the cup to his
companions, but made to suffer the
most exquisite torture. His only hope
of relief lies in a prophecy hat an in
nocent one will come to relieve his suf-
fering and restore the Holy Grail to it's
full glory.
Parsifal appears in the first act as
an uncouth boy. He is discovered in
the forest by Gurnemanz, an old knight
of the Grail, who thinks he may be the
innocent" of the prophecy. lie takes
Parsifal to the great hall, but the youth
is so stupefied at the ceremony of I'M
yelling the sacred cup that he does not
understand GurnemanZ's invitation to
seat himself and is thrust from the sa-
cred dwelling.
In the second act Klingsor recognizes
in Parsifal the parsonage of the prophe-
cy and sends Kundry to accomplish
his ruin. The lad repulses kundry,
who summons Klingsor to her aid. He
hurls the sacred spear at Parsifal but
it remains suspended in the air. The
youth seizes it and traces the sign of
the cross with it, whereat the palace
crumbles and Klingsor vanishes, his
power forever broken.
The rise of the curtain in the third
act shows GurnemanZ and Kundry in
the sacred grounds OF Montsalyat. A
knight in black armor enters, and they
recognize him as Parsifal. Gurnemanz
halls him as the hero who is TO save
the Grail and anoints him king and
priest. Kundry, penitent, washes his
feet and anoints them. He baptiZes
Kundry. The three then proceed TO
the grand hall, where Amfortas for the
last time is to unveil the Holy Grail.
Parsifal, advancing with the sacred
spear, touches Amfortas' wounded side
and heals it. He then continues the
ceremony and celebrates the eucharist
as the Grail's king.
Nine. Milka Ternina, the Kundry of
"Parsifal," was born in Croatia in 1863
and made her operate debut at Leinsic
in 1883. For several years she was the
chief soprano of the Munich opera and
has been a prominent figure at the
Wagner season at Baireuth. She made
her first American appearance in Bos-
ton as Brunehild in 1896. Nine. Ter
nina was specially invited to sing at
the coronation fete of the car.

WAGNER'S PARSIFAL
sPlENDOR AND MAGNITUDE OF ITS
NEW YORK PRODUCTION.

Baireuth Performance Surpassed In
Grandeur of Scenic Effects-StOry
of the Great Music Drama-Mme.
Mike Ternina.
The production of Wagner's "Parsi-
.nl'' at the Metropolitan Opera House,
New York, on Christmas Y despite
the lawsuit of Nine. Wagner and the
protests of the clergy was without
doubt the most important operate event
that eYer occurred in America.
As given at the Metropolitan the sa-
cred music drama was the real 'Parsi-
fal, of Wagner, with every note of mu-
sic, every line of the text and every bit
of stage business as it was created at
Baireuth. Mr.. Conried's production,
however, was given in a style of splen-
dor such as Wagner never was able to
realize owing to lack of funds and the
stage perfection of today.
In the cast were Nine. Milka Terni-
ma, the Baireuth Kundry; Alois Burg
staller, the Baireuth Parsifal; Anton
Van Rooy, the Baireuth Amfortas, and
Otto Goritz, who studied in the Bal
reuth school, as Klingsor.
The story of "Parsifal" is the quest
of the Holy Grail-that is, Wagner's
version of it. According to Wagner,
the Grail has been committed by an
gels to the care of Titurel, a pure
knight. who 10 guard it has built a
wonderful temple on Montsalyat, a
peak in the Pyrenees. Here he has
gathered about him a company of
knights devoted to its service.
Klingsor, a knight, seeks admission to
the company, but because of his evil
life is refused. In rage he appeals to
the devil, who endows him with magic
powers and enables him to create an
enchanted garden peopled with houris
for the seduction of the knights of the
Grail. One by n these succumb to
the sirens until Amfortas, who had
been made king of the Grail by Titurel,
goes forth against Klingsor armed with
the sacred spear which pierced the Say
iour's side.
But he succumbs to Kundry. a wo-
man whom Klingsor has endowed with
