AMERICAN AS
PRIMA DONNA
Opening of the Grand Opera
Season at the Metropolitan
in New York.
TRIUMPH OF MISS FARRAR
EVERY SEAT IN THE GREAT
HOUSE FILLED.
TRIUMPH OF MISS FARRAR

New York Nov. 26.-With Gounod's
Romeo ct JuIiette' as the premier, and
Introducing three singers new to the lyric
stage Of America. the grand opera sea-
son opened tonight at the Metropolitan.
The audience was, if possible, larger and
the subscription sections of the house
even more brilliant than ever before.
Decidedly the feature of the opening
night was the first appearance in grand
npera in this country Of Miss Geraldine
Fsrrar, the young American soprano and
prima donna of the Royal opera house
of Berlin. Miss Farrer was the Juliette
role in which she had won her laurels
In Berlin and elsewhere in Europe. Some
eight year ago Miss Farrar, girl Of
Is. sang on trial one afternoon in New
York as novice among aspiring vocal
lists. Since then she has developed into
the most popular of American prima DON
mas in Europe, and a generous endorse
ment of that verdict was voiced in an
American audience tonight.
French Romeo.
Charles RousseIliere, for several years
one of the leading tenorS of the Paris
opera, was the Romeo, in which part he
has been received with much favor by
the critics in his own country.
Charles Simard. a baritone, and also
q Frenchman, took the part of Mer-
QUITO.
Both are new to the lyric stage in New
York and both to a minor extent shared
in the triumph of Miss Farrar.
Those who reappeared in the cast to-
night We're: Pol Plancon, as Friar Lau-
renee; Gourmet. as Capulet: AIuehlmann,
as the Due de VerOne; Miss Josephine
Jacoby. as StephanO the page. and
Jacques Bars. as Tybalt Miss Neundorff,
Gertrude. and BOque, as Gregorio,
completed the cast. Samuel BOVy, a
French conductor, held the baton for the
first time in this country.
Triumph of Miss Farrar.
Never perhaps before in the history of
the house has Gounod'S tuneful master
piece been sung under auspices more
grateful. to the audience and TO the ar
fist New York was there in her fun
glory, and before the end of the beau
tfful balcony scene the old house blaZed
with color from orchestra TO the tOpmOst
gallery.
But there was one feature essentially
new. Before the first act was over Miss
FaTrar had won her house. which brought
her back again and again at the fall
Of the courtain. 1t was not until the
end OF the balcony scene. however. that
the lrlC mph of the American girl, re-
turned 10 her own people. was fully felt.
With every seat in the great house filled,
the audience waited without handicap,
deeply intent upon solo and duet. until
the curtain dropped. Then indeed the
young artist had cause to feel that il was
into warm American hearts she had 50
quickly sung her way. She was recalled
fully dozen times and at each recall
pages carried upon the stage great flo
caf pieces and clusters of American Beau
ty roses. They came until the prima
donna and Mr.. ROuSsellere. her Romeo.
stood before a high bank of roses. and
still the audience called. 1t was a grace

The Field of Sports

AS betting proposition the fight
does not promise much. This is owing
principally to the fact that under the
law no decision can be given. About
all the betting that is being done is on
the possibility of knock out before
the scheduled distance is reached.
Weeks ago the match was made, and
since that time the two men have been
working hard getting into condition.
If the reports from their respective
training camps are to be relied upon
and the fighters are in the splendid
trim they are claimed to be, 1t is hard
for any one to draw a line between the
pair.
Both boys feel confident of victory
and are figuring on winning in the
same way-that is, by a knockout
blow. McGovern is confident of treat
ing Nelson in the same manner he did
Tommy Murphy. However this may
be, it is certain that if McGovern is
in his old-time shape Nelson will meet
the toughest man he ever faced, and
he will have his work cut out to win.
The same feeling of confidence per-
vades the Nelson camp. I'm in
splendid trim for this fight" said
Battling today, "and won't have any
excuse to offer if lose. expect to
round"
Jack Michigan, the regular club
referee, will officiate.

CONSUME MOST SUGAR
AMERICANS USE HALF OF THE
WORLDS PRODUCT.
Value Of That Brought Into United
States During 1905 Was About
$3.50, oo,ooo-Largest
Among Imports.

Westinghouse more than $780,
600 worth Of merchandise brought into
the United States during the last year
more than $15O.0OO,OO0 worth was
sugar. Sugar formed by far the larg-
est single item in this largest importa-
ton which the United States has ever
made in any year.
TIE value Of sugar brought into the
country during 1905 will far exceed
that Of any earlier year. Statements
just prepared by the department of
commerce and labor, through its bu-
reau of statistics, show that during
the IL months ended with November
1t was $14S,575,345, of which $51, 14S,-
256, or more than one-third of the
total value, was from the noncontigu-
GUS territory of the United States, and
1t is clear that the figures of the re.
naming month of 1905 will bring the
grand total considerably above $780,
100000, while the highest figure in any
fiscal year prior to 1905 was $127,-
100000 in 1894, when an unusually
large quantity was brought into the
country in anticipation Of change
in the tariff on that article.
The United States Is increasing its
consumption Of sugar steadily and
rapidly. Sugar producers at home are
increasing their output Of both cane
and beet product, but even this is not
keeping pace with the increasing home
demand, and as consequence the
quantity brought into the country
grows from year to year. It has dou-
bled in the last Is years, while the
population increased only so per cent.
The annual average importation dur
ing the five-year period ending with
1885 was 1,0S1,149 tons, and during
the flve-year period ending with 1905
the annual average was 2,106,043 tons.
despite the fact that the production
at home had grown from 176,035 tons
in 1885 to approximately 100000 tons
in 1905, the exact figures for the full
year being not yet available.
The United States is the largest
sugar-using country in the world,
though the per capita consumption in
this country Is not as great as that
in the United Kingdom. The total
consumption in 1904 aggregated 2,767,-
900 tons, making an average consump-
ton for each individual Of about rs
pounds for the year.
Cane sugar is foAning at present
larger proportion of the worlds sugar
supply than was the case during the
period from 1890 to 1902. In 1890 beet
sugar supplied 63.7 per cent. of the
worlds product; in 1900, 69.7 per cent,
and in 1902, 629 per cent, but in 1908
1t fell to So per cent. and in 1905 was
only SIG per cent. of the total.

ECCENTRIC "BLUE MAN" DIES
Dyed Missourian, Who Kept Store,
But Refused to Let Customers
Inside, Succumbs.

Columbia, Mo.-James F. French, s.
years old, of Ashland, died here OF
heart failure. His skin and hair were
as blue as indigo, the result Of an
overdose of mercury taken more than
20 years ago.
For 20 years he conducted general
store at Ashland, but for ten years has
kept It locked, and no one but himself
has seen the inside of it. Customers
would hunt up "Blue French" when
they desired an article apd he would
go into the store at the rear and fetch
the article. He absolutely refused to
sell to some people. He would have
big sales of certain things and would
stack the goods on the porch in front
of the store.

Best sulphur from Japan.

Look in Japan Tor good sulphur.
The yield of sulphur from Japanese
ore is probably the highest in the
world. 1t reaches 50 per cent. in the
north, where ore Of less than 80 per
cent. is rejected. In Sicily 20 per cent.
ore is considered workable. Japan's
output has grown frcm 10000 tons in
1900 to above 10000 tons in 1904, and
is likely to grow still further. Domes-
tic consumption takes only a quarter
of the output, the consuming indus
tries being the manufacture Of
matches, for which there are numerous
plants, Of explosives. and Of chemi-
calls. Exports amount to $4,000 or 49,
, 900 tons per year, the western coast
of the United States and Australia be-
ing the largest consumers. The process
of extraction is still primitive, and In
northern Japan snow interrupts activi-
ties for five months every year.

The Newspaper Man.

He seldom is handsome or natty,
And has none of the charms Of the
dude,
Is oft more distracted than chatty,
And sometimes unbearably rude.
He courts us. then Sights us and
Erieves us,
AS much as he possibly can:
He kisses us, loves US and leaves us,
The perfidius newspaper man.
Our mothers won't have him come call
He's no earthly good as catch;
His morals (they say are appalling;
He's rollicking, reckless, uncaring;
Lives but for the hour. the day;
He's dangerous, dubious, daring
Not fit for husband, they say.
But somehow we girls are forgiving,
Perhaps he but needs us the more
Because he goes wrong in the living
And knows the old world to its core
So we pass up the dude and the
schemer,
Who lead in society's van,
And cherish the thinker and dreamer
Enshrined in the newspaper man.

BEATEN BY MANY STORMS.
Big Freighters Had Almost Seaseless

they tied up to their piers at the Bush

taxable signs of the beatings they had re-

The Swat, a British vessel, left Calcutta
on October %, and two days later got her

for forty-eight hours her decks were con-
