Water Damrosch's "Parsifaln Lecture.

Water Damrosch's "Parsifap' Lecture.
At the Lafayette Theater yesterday af-
ternoon Mr.. Walter Damrosch gave a most
interesting Interpretation of Wagner's
music-drama, "Parsifal," before an audi
ence, which although not notable for its
numbers, yet was by no means lacking in
appreciation. The recital was given for the
benefit of the firemen's funds of Washington
and Baltimore and for the Citizens Relief
Associations Of the two cities. Society cir
Giles of the national capital were fully rep
resented in the audience.
Mr.. DamrOsch discussed 'Parsifal with
intelligent understanding of the compos-
er's works and conveyed to his auditors
clear idea Of the intentions and sentiments
of Wagner in the construction Of the work
under consideration. He explained the
opera from the prelude to the Close setti~ 2
forth in convincing manner the striking
musical and dramatic incidents in the opera
and illustrated by his own playing on the
piano the principal themes Of the drama
and their development by the composer
At times the speaker was dramatically i'm
pressive In his description of the dominant
scenes and incidents in "Parsifal' and he
held the close attention of his audience
throughout the recital. The lecture was
regarded as instructive as well as inter-
esting and the speaker was greeted with
cordial applause as an evidence of the
appreciation of the audience.

THE ELUSIVE DORSEY FouLTz.
His Fame Serves as Material for a Joke
In Farawav Paris

Somebody in Paris who is familiar with
the Dorsey Foultz murder case In this city
has written few lines about the elusive
Dorsey with the evident intention of having
the police believe the badly wanted colored
man is living at the French capital.
copy of the Paris edition of the New
York Herald contained the few lines which
were in the nature of a communication as
follows:
Mr.. Editor: note the inquiry in the letter
in your last edition by Anxious" I would
say yes, and refer her to Mr. Dorsey
Foultz, late Of Washington, United States
Mr.. Dorsey Foultz gained great reputation
in Washington. and many would welcome
his return. His address Is p Rue eau
martin. Yours. CONDORCET.
The publication of the communication
caused no excitement in police circles 1t
was readily understood that the author of
it was endeavoring to perpetrate a joke on
the local officials Major Sylvester has re-
ceived so many communications about Dor
sey that the case fails to excite his interest
unless there Is some good reason to believe
that the writer knows something as to his
whereabouts.
