lable) at the Metropolitan opera house
after one performance. Although this
one event brought $4,000 into the the
ater's Golfers, the directors cannot see
that the art of the opera justifies its
so-called violations of the moral code,
and they have called it off. How much
the fact that this 100000 went to Herr

SO.
"Salome" was written by Oscar Wilde
for Sarah Bernhardt in French. She
never produced it, Strauss, the most
eminent composer living, took the book
and wrote an opera with 1t for a text.

many liberties with the biblical YER

John the Baptist. who repulses her
very warm advances. When he refuses
to share her bed she declares for re-
Venge, and when he declines to let her
kiss his lips, which privilege she pleads

John is confined in a cistern and she
dances before Herod and 'Herodius the
dance of the seven wells" This terpsi-
chorean revel Is about "the limit" She
appears garbed in seven tenuous and
transparent wells and in the course of
her gyrations sheds one after the 9TH

much to the imagination in this epi-

anything she may demand, and she
asks the Baptists head. Ii is finally

Mrs. John 3. Henderson. backed by

name of Sixteenth street to Avenue OF

and her allies are concerned, the change
has already been made

Henderson gives her address at 220o

When Mrs, Henderson was asked tor
day why she, the Emmanuel Baptist
Church and others had combined 70
make Avenue of the Presidents a real
fact in the nomenclature of the city, she
said:
Name Sanctioned by Custom.
1--WE have tried again and again to
have Congress pass an act to change
the name Of Sixteenth street 70 Avenue
of the Presidents. We have decided
that Congress will never give the thor
oughfare a name not sanctioned by Gus

+ a custom TO call our street Avenue of

{ After We have called il that for some
/ time Congress will see the strength Of

that day the tax was repealed. In the
Law there was a provision that the tax
was not due or payable until a year
after the death. Many large estates
have opposed the collection of the taxes
on deaths during the year preceding
July 1902 for this reason. Last fall

ALWAYS HAS GOOD CROWD.
Binnard Stock Company Grows in Fa-
vor With Every Performance.

While owing to the band concert,
the audience at the Orpheum last
night was not as large as usual, yet a
good crowd greeted the players and
it was certainly an appreciative one.
Every good bit of acting was quickly
taken up by the audience, which was
not slow in letting the actors know
they appreciated their efforts. At the
matinee this afternoon the largest
crowd which has yet appeared at the
daylight performance, greeted the
players and showed they too, could
enjoy a good performance.
The actors are all keeping up their
parts we'll and it is perhaps the most
evenly balanced cast of any play yet
put on. Everyone of the company is
a favorite with the audience and
Manager Binnard is to be compli-
mented at his good fortune in picking
up a company such as he has.
Next week the stock company will
be strengthened by the arrival of La
stage since the age of five and is con-
sidered one of the brightest stars on
the vaudeville stage today. She will
appear III speciality work.
