THE MgTRoPOLITAN CONCERT,
NINE. CavhlIeri Makes Her First Sunday
Night Appearance.

NhAANN
Night Appearance.
The second of the Sunday evening con-
certs his season drew a great throng to
the Metropolitan Opera House last night.
The main floor and the balconies we're
filed and if anything the crowd along the
rail was larger than usual. Many of them
APPARENTLY had conn to hear the new Italian
soprano, Nine. Lina Cavalieri, who sang
for the first time in concert last night. Her
appearance was charming and she sang
"Nenia" from Boito's "Mefstofele" with
splendid dramatic effect, her lower notes
being especially effective. She was re-
called half a dozen times but on account
OF the ironclad rule at the Metropolitan
concerts she could not reward her admirers
with an encore. After the intermission
she sang three songs, -Mattinata" by Leon
~cavallo; ~Je t'aime," by Barthelemy and
"Penso,' by Tosti.
Another great favorite whom the audience
greeted warmly was Scott, the barytone,
who was in splendid voice and who su ng
the Prologue from ~Pagliacci' most i'm
pressively. He also rendered two songs,
"Tristi %ritorno," by Barthelemy and "L'Ul-
TINA Canzone," by Tosti. Andreas Dippel,
the German tenor, gave the ari a from Cost
fan tutte," by Mozart, and the Romano a
from Meyerbeer's Les H~uguenots." Mr..
Dippel was generously applauded, as was
Nine. Josephine Jacoby, who sang a selec-
ton from les Huguenots' and the aria
-Che furo" from Gluck's -Orfero."
The orchestra. led by Samuel Bovy,
played with splendid effect the overture Of
Berlioz's Carnival Romain, the rhapsody
@Espana," by Chabner, and the -Marche
Franchise, by Saint-Saens.

Among the passengers who arrived yes
terday on the American Line steamship
New York were Mrs. Stuy vesant Fish and
her daughter. who sailed from here last
October on Eugene Higgins's steam yacht
Verona.
Mrs. Fish said that she was very glad to
get back to America. She took occasion to
boost American dressmakers when a zeal
Gus reporter asked her il she had brought
pack many Paris clothes.
~No," smiled Mrs. Fish, Il did not. l
brought back very few, for the reason that
| think that American made gowns are far
better than those one gets in Paris. The
mat erials are more durable, they are better
made and the dressmaker in this country
is to my mind more original in her ideas
than are the dressmakers of Paris. The
American woman is the best dressed in the
world because she is not bound by style.
She is original and her individuality is ex-
pressed in her garments. In Paris that is
not so. The women there are slaves to
mode. They are all Of a pattern"
The Misses Brice accompanied Mrs.
Fish.
Apropos Of the suggestion that Mr.. Hig-
gins and Calve were engaged Mrs. Fish
said il was silly.
Why, / don't think that Mr.. Higgins
ever knows Calvt, she said.
The English az investors in mining stocks
was the subject of a small talk Ivy r. f..
Glass, formerly of DeadwOOd, \. D., who
has been in England for the last two years.
Mr.. Glass thinks that the promoter of the
future will have 10 have something tangible
to hand out when he goes - London.
"You see the British public has lost mil
ions of pounds in mining shares in the
last ten years and is wary. Once London
was n good market-nOw the Englishmen
simply won take the package"
Another mine expert on the ship was j. II.
H~ildebrandt, formerly of Cripple Creek,
who has been in Africa. He saws that the
German colonies there are very poor and
are having much trouble with the Chinese
question. The corporations favor Chinese
labor because il is cheap, but there are
hard times there, and they are caused by
Chinese labor. Chinese labor, he declared,
would be the ruin of British South Africa.
Mr.. H%iliebrandt related an amusing in
cident of his trip from south Africa. His
steamer stopped at Monrovia. the capital
of Liberia, and the POStmaster-Ccneral
came aboard the ship with stamps to sell to
philatelists.
Mr.. Hildebrandt didn't care for such a
quantity as the Postmaster-Genera wanted
him To buy, but bought a few 10 put on
letters. When the Postmaster-Genera had
gone and he was about 10 write the letters
the captain told him not to mail them at
Monrovia If he wished them to reach their
destination. The captain said it was pretty
certain that the stamps would be removed.

APPEAL FOR NON-UNION MEN.
Union Members Say Cgarmakers Need
More Pay.

The Joint advisory board of the fourteen
unions belonging To the Cigarmakers' In
te%rnational Union in New York decided
yesterday to send a circular out through
the non-union factories and among the
public generally asking for better Pay for
the %non-union cigarmakers. The circular
says that in view of the unprecedented
growth Of the industry they were entitled to
higher wages. There was general pros
perity in this as well as in all other indus
tries, yet the non-union workers had re-
ceivcd no advance in wages.
This army of unorganized workers"
the APPEAL says, els at the mercy of the
employers. IGttcrly they have been al
lowei to work longer hours to make a few
cents a day more. The union cigarmakers
are paid 40 PER cert. higher han the unor-
ganized cigGrnakers. In view Of these
facts we want TO ask the PEOPLE generally
to try and get a slight increase for these
workers.

Books are the one always salts
factory solution Of the holiday
problem. But the question often
is-what book? Discrimination
in your choice is a compliment TO
your friends taste. Books not
designed merely az gift books
have the more enduring value.
For example,:
William Dean Howells' Ger.
tain Delightful English Towns
is a delightful volume on English
town and countryside. Whether
your friend plans to go abroad
or stay at home, this book will
prove an entertaining companion.
Mr.. Howells makes the best of
travelling comrades, and his ad-
ventures along the road are mar
rated in exquisite prose. The
illustrations are a beautiful feature
of the book, and make clear to
the eye each town, cathedral and
historic site which Mr.. Howells
visits.
If your friend has read "Ben-
Hur"-and who has not?-he is
bound to be int ested in the
great life-story of the author
Lew Wallace: An Autobiogra-
~phy--which has just appeared in
two sumptuous volumes. A man
who has achieved distinction on
the diverse fields of arms, letters,
politics and diplomacy must have
that in him which compels at
tention. His life, as told by HIM
self, has striking points of interest
at every turn; for eXample,-his
graphic picture of Lincoln when
an obscure young man, his vivid
stories Of the civil war, and how
he came to write "Ben-Hur."
Among books that are "worth
while" there is perhaps none
quite so novel or fresh in interest
as Bishop Talbot's new volume
My People o. the Plains.
Bishop Talbot spent twelve years
as the first missionary bishop
among the miners, cow-punchers,
gamblers, and other raw pioneers
of Idaho and Wyoming in the
early days. He rubbed shoulder
to shoulder with these rough peo-
pie as one of them saloon-kcep-
ers Hospitality screened their bars
to afford him a meeting room.
His experiences are rich in humor-
ous situations that were constantly
occurring, and his many anec-
dotes wildly reveal stage of our
early civilization that has now
almost passed away.
Both churchmen and laymen
will be interested in the account
of the growth and present organ
i~zation of St. Georges Church,
New York, with its 1000 men,
bers of all classes. The Admin
istration of an Institutional
Church describes the thorough
business system by which this
great parish conducts its manifold
charities, schools and various
other departments.

1t was a dull morning in the police court
and the Magistrate, a benedict of long stand
ing, sat in his chair looking into space. A
prisoner was brought before him and the
policeman made a charge.
Intoxicated, eh?" muttered the Court,
absentmindedly.
yes, your Honor admitted the pris-
oner.

trate.

Then what excuse do you have?" de
handed the Court, mechanically signing
the commitment paper.
A litter ran over the audience and the
Magistrate came to with "A start, CHANGING

court was adjourned, contrary 10 his usual
custom, he called the newspaper men before
him.

morning." he asked in a clearly appre-
hensive tone.

THE Police Commissioners substitution
Of caps for helmets in the cops uniform
is a boon to us illust rators, whatever we
may think of the change from the stand
point of sthetics," said a magazine artist.
Il don't suppose there ever was a simple
and familiar object so hard to draw cor
rectly as the policeman's helmet. Many
a man who could ofIhand sketch a silk
hat with absolute accuracy fell down fiat
on the helmet. Try as he would, he couldn't
strike a true TO life combination of curves
and straight lines. II you don't believe
it, look up magazine pictures of policemen
and prove il. Anybody can see that the
helmet isn't right. The artist knew it,
but he couldn't help himself. But the
German army hotel carriage man head
piece is a cinch. It's as simple as the Rollo

Some men have curious ways of guiding
themselves in their work, remarked a well
known author. Il was in n large publishing
house the other day and l became interested

and frequency of his whispered counting

IL ia without doubt the ~craZiest hobby

hope is that they will soon give il up. A
part of these idlers are social reformers

that men who employ help are regular

After September II the United States
will make citizens from the foreign ell
ements more slowly. Hereafter there
is to beno wild scramble, as in former
days, to bestow the full privilege of
electing the president and the men,
bers Of Congress upon the imm grant.
L. is good TO see such sensible regu-
lations going into effect, even at this
late date. A great deal Of our poor
American citizenship would never have
existed if sensible immigration and
naturalization laws had been passed at
a seasonable time. 1t Will now be inn
possible for one Of these newly adopted
to obtain the full rights of citizenship
in time for an election unless he shall
have taken out his papers 30 days be-
fore election day. Here is law made
not only with the intention of making
better Americans, but with the idea.
also, OF purifying thu elections.
Good, reasonable laws and pure poll
tics go hand in hand. With such law
in force it will be harder for the boss
to herd together his half informed vot
ers and keep them safely in the corral
till after the important day shall have
passed. 1t will help to do away with
gang politics.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1906.

Harmony existed in such big
chunks in the county convention
held here last Saturday, that
numbers OF persons could and did
name every candidate who would
be nominated before the conven-
ton opened, not leaving out
even the Socialists who aspired
to run as democrats. We can
nearly do the same thing for the
convention to be held next Tues
day, which is likely to be quite
as harmonious, and then the fun
will begin.

ton and the conditions existing
In the new copper camp, now at
tracing the attention of such
mining capitalists as Heinze,
Schwab and Patsy Clark, in In
20 county, California. 1t is not
an unusual thing to see ventur-
some prospectors rush into new
districts where a rumor that big
mines may be found, and undergo
all manner of hardships in doing
so, but to see capitalists making
heavy investments under such
conditions as exist in such a des-
ert place is somewhat strange.
Surely Mr.. Heinze and MIR. Clark,
if not Mr.. Schawb, know some
thing of the great deposits Of
copper in the Seven Devils district
in Idaho, and why should they
90 to such a desolate region to
make investments when such op-
portunities as this are open to
them, with all the advantages Of
accessibility, transportation, wa
ter and timber right at hand? Or
if they would read what Mine In
spector Bell has to say about
South Mountain, in this county,
or should inspect the Castle Greek
district, also in this county, they
might, and surely would find it
more to their advantageto make
investments nearer home. Mr..

The democrats in Owyhee held
their county convention here on
Saturday and put up very good
ticket, with one or two very not
able exceptions. 1t would be a
great shame and disgrace to this
county to have these exceptions
win out. Otherwise the person
mel Of the ticket is fairly good.
AS to the legislative ticket, they
have nominated two personal
friends Of Nugget, against whom
nothing can truthfully be said.
They are gentlemen. But if
elected, though we believe it
would be against their inclina-
tions, they would be bound by
party pledges to support the ex-
republican who framed the So
called democratic platform as a
means of his getting returned to
the senatorship. We are conf
dent that it is not the wish of a
majority OF the democrats OF
this county that he should be re-
turned to the senate, where his
political adroitness and his agil-
ity at turning his coat has per-
mitted him to get in for a second
term. One Of these gentlemen is
also an extensive and prosperous
woolgrower, and we believe
would rather be defeated than see
a man 90 to the U. S. senate
whose vote would possibly de
eide the question OF the protec-
tion Of that great industry by
taking the tariff off Of wool. The
other gentleman is miner, and
he would be equally averse to
seeing the tariff oil lead, an in
dustry which gives more employ
ment to miners in the state OF
Idaho than in any other state in
the union, and contributes much
toward maintaining the wages
OF miners. Ii we keep the coun-
try in its present prosperous con-
dition much will depend on keep
ing our national legislature on
the right side. As all republican
state legislators will be pledged

to vote for Mr.. Borah for the SEN
atorship, as all democratic mem

Mr.. Dubois, the selection of the
