FINDS PARSIFAL
A REVELATION.
A. n. WILEY SAYS NEW YORK
PERFORMANCE is SUPERB. !.
Confirms Him in the Belief that Wag-
ner Is Musical Genins-Tristan
with Ternina as Isolde and Olive
F'remstad as Brangaene Proves "a
: Rare Treat Il

A. r. Wiley, who has just returned
from a~%musical pilgrimage to New
York, willingly confesses himself a
victim of the prevailing epidemic
"Parsifalitis.' The Conriedee produc-
ton surpassed his rosiest dreams and
the music, taken as a whole, was a
revelation, altho Mr.. Wiley had stud
led it closely for years.
II recognize Wagner musical
wizard he said,- but to hear Par
sifaI' is to be rooted and grounded in
that explanation Of his genius. The
music holds you like spell. Contra
ry to my previous impression, I found
the music thoroly homogeneous. Mu-
sically, to me the great marvel is the
way the orchestra holds the listeners
during the long transformation scenes
of, the first and third acts, when Par
sifal wanders thru the forest. The
mechanical effects seem like a mir
acle and the performance is like a
journey into another land
For those of keen religious sensi-
bilities, Mr.. Wiley thought the con-
cert representation would be an un-
5alloyed delight, such as they might
not find in the opera. There is no
possibility of any Earring effect. The
music playing upon the Imagination
brings out beautiful imagery without
the danger of incongruity between the
mental pictures and the realism of
the stage. The musical representa-
ton can arouse only the highest emo
tions and is essentially religious in
the feelings to which it gives rise.

fall was hearing Tristan" with Ter

nina as Isolde ana Olive, Fren1stad as

nina as Isolde and Olive Fremstad as
Brangaene. Of this Mr.. Wiley said ::
1T had heard doubts expressed of
Miss Fremstad' s. dramatic possibilities,
and did not have my hopes raised too
high, but I Was3completely satisfied.
Y Dramatically she measured up fully
to %Ternina to tIe@extent that the part
permitted. Temperamentallys 4s she
lacked what Terminals added years
have given to her, and perhaps some
thing more; still she is not lacking
in stemperamentsfo for a. young singer
Do you think she has made good
in New York?''
"Unquestionably,n Mr.. Wiley re-
Joined, her place there is assured,
for her infinitely beautiful voice is all
that could be asked for. She has
scored heavily for a new arrival and
a young singer.
Another thing that interested me,
especially as a study of audiences, was
Carruso's FAREWELL You would have
supposed that he held the closest per-
sonal relations with the majority of
the audience. The middle-aged socie-
ty matrons about me couldn't have
expressed, or, seemingly, felt a deeper
and more personal interest in him had
he been a son to- each and every one
of them. The same feeling in greater
or less degree extends to all the artists,
and it is this proprietary interest Of
the wealthy patrons that is the secret
of the success of opera in New York
and is responsible for our. present star
system. No one who fails to please
personally can hope for a New York,
and, therefore, an American. success.

PRISON SHOE CONTRACT
Board Of Control Member Explains the
Preliminary Negotiations.

" S. w. Leavett of the state board of con-
troll has explained the circumstances of the
award Of the prison shoe contract which

to twist into the semblance Of scandal
Mr.. eLeavett says that at the time Warden
Wolfer resigned, it was expected that he
would bid on the shoe contract; but for
some reason did not do so. The board adj
vertised widely, but got only one bid. from
Roscoe II. Bronson of Saltwater ard this
was rejected. Then Mr.. Bronson called at
the office Of the board with w. 3. Jordan
of the firm that has the present contract
They submitted together three PROPOSE
lions. They would guarantee so cents a
day for 200 men, 621s cents a day for $50
men, or IS cents j day for 300 men. They
were rejected because the first price was
too low, and the other two called for
more men than the board cares to work on
the shoe plant.
The board then proposed to furnish 225
men at a guarantee Of GO cents a day The
two, bidders went apart to consult, and
soon Mr.. Jordan came out and left the Of
fice Returning soon after he said he
could not do anything with the proposal.
He left, and in few minutes Mr. Bronson
came out and said he would take the con-
tract at the terms named 1t is under
stood that he has bought the plant from
the Jordans.
No charges have been made against
members Of the board Or any employees.

Finest in the World.

A writer in the Oregonian Of Port
land, Jan IL, describing trip across
the continent, says: From st. Paul
to Chicago no road receives greater
recognition from the travelling public
than the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul. The Pioneer Limited of this
line. is one of the finest trains in
America. It is vestibuled solid, like
all first-class eastern trains. It was
the c., M. & st. P. management which
first made the innovation of lighting
Its limited trains throughout by cleo
tricity. An ingenious device on its
sleeping cars is the incandescent
lamps at the head of the bed-rests in
each section or compartment. Pas
sengers on these cars have the benefit
of this perfect light for reading while
resting in their seats or after retiring
at night. The limited trains through
out are as brilliantly lighted after
nightfan as the rotunda Of the Hotel
Portland or the business office of the
Oregonian, and for models of elegance
and comfort they are not surpassed
by any trains in the world Dining
cars are run on all Of these trains,
and the service on these cars is not
behind that df any Of the best hotels
on the continent.

NO HALF SAG GURDAYS
FOR CUSTOM-HOUSE
Secretary of the Treasury Refuses to
Modify the Recent Ruling Pro-
muIgated by Department.

Some time ago Customs Collector
Stratton wrote to the Secretary of the
Treasury protesting against the rule
recently enforced that the Custom
house should remain open daily until
4:30 p. IN. Mr.. Stratton urged that
for the last twenty-five of thirty years
in this city ii had been the custom to
close all the Offices at noon on Satur-
days, and that in the wholesale bust
ness district in this city Saturday was
always observed as a half holiday.
Assistant Secretary Armstrong re-
piled that the rule applied to all Gus
tom houses in the United States, ex-
cept in places where State or munic-
ipal law provided that Saturday
should be a half holiday. The new
rule requires the Custom-house to be
kept open on Saturdays as well as
week days, except during the months
of July, August and September.
In Massachusetts and some other
States, where Custom houses are in
operation, Saturday is recognized as a
half holiday and the order of the Sec
retary Of the Treasury does not there
fore apply to those localities.
Custom house officials here will ask
the Legislature at its coming session
to pass a law declaring Saturday a
half holiday.
