are mysic-lovers and music-l lovers
but the audience last night seemed to
be of the right kind, al. there was very
little disturbance or talking to inter-
fere with the music
The devil is always supposed to be
fascinating, and Mr., Harrison Bennett
well deserves good praise. His mag
nificent bass voice was ably managed
in the "slidy." grating music Of Me-
phistopheles, and his splendid ply
sique was Characteristic of the part
M. Maclennon is well known to
many Of us, having sung in "Parsifal"
last year. Faust was wonderfully
interpreted by Mr.. Maclennon, his
voice being smooth, full and passion
ate, the high notes Of the tenor songs
being taken with accuracy and ease.
He is thorough actor, and did not al
low his excellent rendition of his diff
cult song role to outshine his dramatic
powers.
Marguerite-every one likes Mar
guerite, and Miss Miner stirred many
hearts last night when she sang the
well-loved song, yet Once Again, Be-
loved" Miss Miners rendition of the
famous "Jewel Song,", and the several
other coloratura selections was we'll
worthy of the highest praise. She
showed an excellent control of her
voice.
Mr.. Arthur Deane, who sang the
part of Valentine, did magnificent
work, his death Song" being especial
ly fine. His work was much APP
plauded.
Miss Albright's contralto, as siebcl,
was a little unsympathetic, although
she sang the Flower Song exceed
ingly we'll.
The trio of Faust, Valentine and Me-
phistopheles, in the fourth act, was
wonderful piece of harmony, and the
executors did fair justice to Gounod's
exquisite rhythm and melody.
The choruses were all that could be
desired, and then there was the or
chestra. Never has a Grand Forks
audience been SO spellbound by an
orchestra. About fifty instruments,
truthfully harmonized, walled and
sobbed and laughed out this music If
Gounod's, until our very hearts were
full. Mr.. Emanuel is a thoroughly
competent conductor, and had the en-
tire cast of singers, as we'll as the or
chestva, just at his fnger-tips.

Tactful.

A Chicagoan was praising the late
Marshall Field.
''Mr. Field was a kindly man." he
said. HE spoke i'll of no one. And
when his opinion was asked of a per-
son, and it was not favorable opin-
ion, he would express it In such a
gentle and quaint way that its sting
would be quite lost.
"once, at dinner. i praised the
conversational talent Of man across
the table. I said to Mr.. Field:
edo you know him?'
~ have met him. the other an
swered.
Well, he is a clever chap said l..
He can talk brilliantly for an hour

Then, when l met him. said Mr..
Field, it must have been the begin
ming of the second hour"

A POLITICAL JUDAS.

Two years ago when Mr.. Duis was
making his first race for the mayor
atty he was opposed then, as now, by
a republican-Mr Lander. The Herald
at that time was an active supporter
Of the latter gentleman, and in it's
issue of March 25th, 1904, under the
caption of mon Partisanship," it said,
editorially:
-partisanship in municipal
; is kept out of the contest Otherwise
not. There is some attempt at pres
cnt to make capital out of the alleged
on-partisanship character of Mr..
Duis' candidacy for mayor. Mr.. Duis
i. democrat, and he has a right to
be. He is member of the state CEN
trail committee of his party, as he has
4 right to be. No one ever accused
him of being Indifferent to the welfare
of his party, and the fact that he saw
fit to delegate his powers to another at
the meeting of the committee on We'd
nesday, must be ascribed to desire
tc canvass On the streets for votes,
father than to party Indifference. Just
before the announcement of his can
didacy a petition was circulated for
him by democrats, and among those
who urged him to become candidate
are men Of such pronounced party
views that in their eyes republican
ism is one Of the greatest crimes on
the calendar. One of the earnest and
ardent supporters of Mr.. Duis, is B.
8. Brynjolfson, chairman of the state
central committee, and everybody
knows what sort of snon-partisan' he
is. No one denies the right of the can
didate or any Of his supporters to
their own political views, or to men,
bership in any party to which they
see fit to belong. But to apply the
term 'non-partisan" to the present eff
forts of the democrats is misleading.
Its purpose Is manifest. If the demo-
Gratis can hold together in a fairly
solid mass, and a sufficient number of
republicans can be deluded by the
'non-partisan' cry the chances of the
democratic candidate will be greatly
improved"
The Evening Times is free to con-
TESS that 1t is of the number that are
unable to see wherein the condition
Of affairs in municipal politics has in
any wise changed since the campaign
Of 1904.
Mr.. Duis is the same democratic
partisan now as then; true it is that
he has occupied the mayors chair for
the past two years. but what, If any
thing, has he done in his oficial capa5
city IN the interest Of the city that
might not or wouldsnot have been ac-
complished had the executive Office
been vacant for that period? IA fact

Old French Gallantrty.

People say that old French gallantry
is rapidly becoming thing Of the
past. Those who are prone to forget
thus our national traditions should
take to heart this little lesson from
the Hungarian poet, Jokai: y.
AT banquet given in his honor the
poet thanked the ladies present, and
ended with the words: II drink to
you, mesdames. May you live until
my hair turns gray"
The ladies were startled, and barely
l;new what to make of the strange
compliment. Then Jokai. taking from
his head fine wig, revealed a head
entirely bald my hair, as you see.."

towns on the sites of tar papered
shacks and lumber sheds; who want
the educational institutions the best
in the land, and who want the entire
state dotted with farm houses in which
luxury is the rule rather than the ex-
ception.
There are plenty of such people in
the state today, and more are COM
ing. Newer fields will attract the
pioneers but the class that gives a
community it's permanency will stop
by the hundreds in North Dakota.

Atlantic to New York on La Gascogne,

of the steamer he said:

perior to ours. The trains go faster,
the cars are more luxurious, and the
management is wiser.

checks. A friend of his, riding on this
hallway withoutAa ticket, paid his fare
in cash, matter Of, four or five dol

Augusta Teachers.

There will be meeting of the pub
lie school teachers of Augusta county
in StauntOn tomorrow Saturday
morning, at 1880 O'Clock in the office
of Superintendent E. o. Peale for the
purpose of reorganlZing the Angus a
county teachers association.
Owing to the fact that many of the
county teachers have become members
of the various civic Improvement
leagues in their respective localities
and have thus been engaged in furth
ering the efforts of these organizations
to arouse public interest in schools,
secure better school buildings, longer
terms. etc, the association has not
held formal meeting for nearly two
years. and il is most earnestly to be
hoped that there will be full attend
ance at Saturdays meeting, as this is
the only organization in which the en-
tire teaching force of the county may
meet for professional Improvement and
discussion of matters pertaining to the
school.

III. l.. LANG.
THE BIRTH OF A CITY.

Profound and peaceful was the ir sleep
And sweet the dreams that slumbsr
brought.
Each duty had been we'll performed.
And public veal was all they sought.
Thus slept some "City Fathers" throu gh
| 4 night of 10y. and festive mIrth,
Their conscious pride welled mp anew,
Each smiled at his expanding girth.
But while they slept storm arose,
1t oOre down angry, grim and black,
1t seemed to center right on those
And mark them in its very track.
And nearer came the darkning cloud,
Now Cross the sky the lightnings fash,
Then distant thunders grim and loud.
Then broke the storm with deafenins crash.
The sleepers sprang from out their beds,
Stupid with fear, and knowing not,
Why came this vengea nce On their heads,
But death they saw mus be their lot.
They fled as did the SOdomite,
Each carrying that he loved the best,
Clad only in their robes of night,
As people run who are possessed
Twas sad to see one try to save
Beloved ones, aud then some pelf.
Then midst the orm's terrific wave
Cast both away to save himself.
One took his brother on his back,
Another could not 90 alone,
But even then they left stack
OF kindred for the dark cyclone.
One tried to take trolley oar,
And one picked up W hole railroad.
"A broken shaft proved quite bar,
The railway was too big load.
A firm dragged on its iron safe
To thus insure safe retreat,
Whilst others clung to things they loved
Or which insured their bread and meat.
But still the storm came on apace,
Too fierce for human hand to quell.
1t swept the city from its base,
And caught 1.-The Fathers' as 1t fell.
And when the morning broke, there lay
A sunken city ON the PLAIN,
Dead bodies strewn along the way,
Y GU scarce could tell the number slain.
But high above the ruins stood
Another city firm and strong,
4 First Glass city, such as could
Withstand storm ten times as long,
As that which swept from sisterhood
rhe weaker city, and its throng.

virQinia Hay SINNERS Meet.

There WAS meeting of the Virginia
Hay Shippers Association Monday in
the auditorium of the 7. Nj. Z. A.
Mr.. w. Il. Ellison Of Wayuesboro. was
re elected president. and MIR. &. H.
Cohron Of Stuart's Draft, was re.elect-
ed secretary and treasurer. There was
q large gathering, representing all of
the most important shipping points ia
the Valley. The main matter under
discussion was the adjustment Of de-
murrage charges. The body resolved
to take advantage of the protection of
the demurrage rules as prescribed by
the Virginia corporation commission
which allows them the privilege Of
claiming from the railroad company
81 90 day for failing to supply cars
when ordered for loading, III order to
offset the charges imposed upon the
shipper by the Virginia Service associ-
alton
A committee WAS appointed to see if
local rates could not be reduced SO as
to increase the price of hay to farmers
to nearly points where western hay is
now sold and delivered on lower rates
than from the Valley.
