more than that great soprano. Sem brich has greater volume. but 1t IS doubtful if she sings the role with the sympathetic touch that Miss Renny- son brings to bear upon it. Mir. Bennett, as King Henry. made a grand appearance. His fine figure tow cred above all others with royal ef- feet His voice is of rich. full. basso quality, but his enunciation was not as precise as could have been wished.
 MT. Deane we had heard last season in Wolfram. and he fully sustained the high reputation he gained in that char acter. The part of Telmarund gave greater scope. and its requirements were fully met
 Mir. Richards, as the Herald, also won the audience. his voice being of lich. full ttmbre. we'll adapted to the char acter.
 Miss Crawford invested ortrud with the proper dramatic fire. She is a new singer with the Savage Company. Her mezzo- soprano is full of depth and her lower notes were of rarely rich quality.
 The chorus was well-balanced, and some of the ensemble effects were grand. The most serious indictment of the chorus is to be placed upon the att tack. and especially in the simple little bridal chorus, which was not as per- feet in that respect as any of the oth- CTS. But. on the whole. it far tran scended any chorus work we have ever had here.
 The audience was fairly thrilled by the ensemble at the close of the first act, and 1t was full minute before the realization came that this was a mere theatrical performance. It was an impressive minute, and then the audi ence broke into a storm of applause.
 On the whole, the Savage Company of this season is far superior to the company which sang ''Tannhauser'' last season, and the artistic and genuinely musical production of "Lohengrin" will finger long as a happy memory.

Huntsville, Dec. 2S-(Special Mrs. Julia LaCroix and W. c. King, both of Dallas Village, were married fin the County Court house. The story of this couple is unusual if not romantic. They were married to each other twenty years ago, and after living together a few years. they parted and each re- married. As the years passed, Kings second wife died and the husband of his divorced wife died. They met In Dallas short time ago and the love of their youth awakened.

HE WAS NOT BREED
PAIN DENIES THAT MUTUAL GAVE
 HIM S4O,O0O.
Characterixes As False in Every Par tfcular the Story That He Allow cd Company to Write Its Own
 Report.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Louis F, Pawn and J. Rider Cady, who was employed at times as counsel by MT. Payn while the latter was state superintendent of insurance, were the witnesses today be- fore the insurance investigating com mittee. who furnished practically all of the interesting testimony, notwith-
 standing the fact that more witnesses were examined than ons any day since
 the investigation began.
 MT. Payn was called to finish his tes-
 timony interrupted by adjournment of yesterday and in reply to question, emphatically denied the report that he had received s40.000 from the Mutual
 Reserve Life InsuI ance Company and had allowed that company to write its own report of an investigation which Mir Payn had caused to be made in 1899 Mir. Payn characterized the report as absolutely false in every particular and said that it grew out of a fight be- tween James D. Wells. former vice pres- ident of the Mutual Reserve and Presi- dent Burnham of the same company.
 Judge Cady was brought into the in- vestigation by reason of his having ap- peared before Mir. Payn in the inter- ests of Prussian insurance companies seeking admission to the state. This application was denied by MT. Payn but two years later was granted. President McCurdy of the Mutual Life Insurance Company asked that this permission be held up until he could see Mir. Payn. This request was refused but MT. Payn had Judge Cady call upon Mir. McCurdy.
 MT. Hughes asked if MT. McCurdy said the Mutual Life would pay any money for a contrary decision. Judge Cady said he did not, but that MT. Me- Curdy offered him a retainer in behalf of the Mutual Life which he refused.
 The New York office of the insurance department was inquired into when Robert Hunter, deputy superintendent was called. Mir. Hunter could add nothing as to the conduct of the insu- rance department to what had already been supplied.

Mir. Dudley at the Bijou.

The production of "Dr. Jekyill and MT. Hyde" by MT. Frank Dudley at the Bijou Theatre last night was surpris- ingly good.
 There was much in the production that augurs well for the future of this young actor. Just as is the case In practically all plays that have been produced by Mir. Mansfield, the drama founded on Robert Louis Stevenson's famous novel, is & one part play and if that part is not handled in a capa- ble. convincing and intelligent man. ner, the production is farcicaL
 Mr. Dudley by conscientious work was able to hold his big audience last night with his portrayal of the dual role and the audience appreciated his effort&
 This young actor has made a careful study of Mansfield's methods and his facial expression and vocal changes were especially good.
 The supporting company was fairly good. The play will be again produced tonight.

KINGS TO SEND GIFTS.
sovereigns of Europe Will Bestew wed-
 ding Presents on Miss Roosevelt.


 ding Presents on Miss Roosevelt. Paris Dispatch fin New York World. Every sovereign in Europe. 1t is re- ported here, will send a wedding gift to Miss Alice Roosevelt. From Berlin comes partial confirmation of a report that Prince Henry of Prussia. brother of the German Emperor, will send a present and the German Emperor himself has signified his desire to do the same. The Kaiser is a great ad- mirer of President Roosevelt. and has said that he cannot let the joyous oc- casion pass without giving n material proof of his friendship. It is also res ported that the present will be accom- panied by an autograph letter. inviting the newly welded couple to visit Ber- liu.
 In London the report of the Kaiser's purpose caused the advisers of King Edward to suggest that he, too, send a present, and commands have been sent to London firms to send to Bucking- ham palace articles from which the King and Queen may make selection.
 The King of Italy is also reported to have expressed an intention to send to Miss Roosevelt a present, and Presi- dent Loubet of Franco has already given orders that the sevrss factory of porcelains select two of the most mag nificent vases for presentation to her
 The gift of the Czar of Russia will be In the shape of jewelry.
 King Alfonso, of Spain, who Is soon to be married. himself, has expressed desire to honor Miss Roosevelt by sending an antique piece of jewelry which has been in possession of the royal family of Spain for many cen- turies. The new King of Norway and the Kings of Denmark and Sweden will send presents, and the Sultan of Turkey and the King of Greece and the many minor sovereigns of Europe may feel bound to follow the example of their mightier colleagues. It is said that the Pope and the Emperor of Aus tria have already set the example.
 It is reported that Emperor William Is very anxious that his present shall reach Washington before all others.
 Nearly every present will be accom- panied with special invitation to the bride and bridegroom to visit the sender on their honeymoon trip to Flu. rope. There is no doubt here that the arrival of Mir. and Mrs. Longworth in Europe will mark the beginning of series of Entertainments at European whose soverigns will vie with each other to do honor to the daughter of the American President. as if she were the offspring of royalty. This is explained here by the fact l that just nv 1t is the desire and policy l of every European nation to stand we'll | with the American government.
