STORIES OF THE OPERA.
THE CHIMES OF NORMANDY" :"

In order that patrons of the summer
opera season at the New National Theater
may become familiar with the plot of the
various operas being presented by the
Aborn Opera Company, the dramatic de-
partment of The Star Will give each week
a complete outline of the opera TO be
given during the current week. Following
is the interesting story revealed in Plan
quettes delightful comic opera, The
Chimes of Normandy"
The scenes are located in the village OF
Cornevilte. in old Normandy. The village Is
named after ancient noble family bear

absence his ancestral home has won the
reputation of being haunted. ghostly figures

whom he wishes to marry to the baili, or
chief civil officer of the district but Ger
maine Is unwilling. Jean Grenicheux. a
young fisherman, is in love with Germaine
and tells her he has saved her life.
Thus 1t occurs that in the first act OF the
opera Germaine, Jean and Serpolette take
service with the returned marquis in order
to save Gemalne from marriage with the
bailli.
In the second act the marquis discovers
the reason that has given the chateau tha
reputation of being haunted, and causes
the bells of the old mansion to ring for
the first time in years, and Gaspard, the
miser loses his reason as the result
The third and last act witnesses the COM
ing of Serpolette to the scene, claiming
that she is the marchioness, the long-lost
heiress to the title and estates. Gaspard at
this time regains his reason and furnishes

Gilbert G. Sullivans comic opera master
piece, II M. S. Pinafore," followed by
Mascagnis one-act grand opera, 'CavaI-
leria Rusticana," brought the Aborn opera
Company before Washington music-lovers
to better advantage than during any OF the
previous weeks That the splendid organi-
zation provided by the Messrs. Aborn Is
capable of handling a dual production Of
this high character has been demonstrated
beyond a doubt and bespeaks volumes for
the coming offerings promised. One detail OF
policy being carried out which is quite no
ticeable and merits commendation Is the sys-
tenn of changing the cast partly from week
to week, bringing in new artists to assume
certain roles which they have played sue
cessfully elsewhere and for which they are
particularly suited in personal qualities and
strength of voice. By this method local
playgoers are being entertained and in
structed by singers Of marked reputation
and ability, and are afforded the ADDED OPP
portunity to compare and criticlse. Inc
three new singers for this weeks opera

Big audiences continue to mark the per-
formances at the Columbia by its excellent
stock company. Both Miss Spong and Miss
Walker are held in such high esteem for
their personal and histrionic qualities that
It seems quite natural to see such leading
stars In the same cast. With the acquisi-
ton of Mr.. John Mason to the company

ting very high class entertainment 1t less

It Is pretty nearly a safe wager to bet
that If theatrical performances were ad-
vertised to begin at 10 o'clock instead of at
the customary time there would be, just as
at present, a large number Of very respect
able but nevertheless inconsiderate people
who would persist in coming into the thea
ter late to disturb other respectable and
patient people who considerably make 1t
their practice to avoid discomfort ard an
noyance to others The only possible means
of relief from this abominable habit lies in
all the theater managers agreeing to seat
no late comers until the act is ended This
rule is In force in many of the theaters Of

have their attention distracted from the

FREE
GOLD AT
ROSEBUD
At Depth of Fifty Feet. on Dream
land, Ore Containing Free Gold
Is Found

Silver is the dominant precious
metal in the ore from Rosebud. In
fact until yesterday silver was the on
.ly precious metal found in the camp.
The great amount of silver in the ore,
however, made up for the lack of
yellow metal, and those to whom
,specks of yellow prove especially al
'.ur ng, were satisfied with Rosebud.
Now however, Rosebud comes forth as
a camp containing gold in its ores
The first gold to be found in the
camp was struck on the Dreamland
yesterday at uepth of fifty feet.
The yellow metal was only in small
speeks, but the pieces containing it
were priced most highly by the min
ers and passed from one to the other
for observation. These men see only
silver ore, and they see so much sill
yer that they are sick of the white
metal, and the showing of yellow that
they found yesterday was like piece
of brown bread to the man who is
tired of wheat bread.

Activity in the Camp
GOLDFIELD, New, Feb. 19.-The
Burns lease, located on the Combina-
ton property and in the immediate
vicinity of the other properties which
have made the Mohawk famous, has
made strike which from present in
dications will place the lease on par
with any in the Goldfield district,
1t has been learned from one of the
officials that body of ore, so far
fully six feet in width, had been open
cd up. The ledge has not been cut
entirely and it will be perhaps day
or two before its exact width will be
determined The official stated that
some unusually high values had been
obtained and that some of them ran
even higher than those found in the
Hayes Monette or the Frances Mohawk
on the Mohawk, which adjoins imme-
diately on the north. The samples TAX
en- last Thursday showed gold values
clear across the body averaging better
than $136, with an assay from six
inch streak going better than $3.50.
Extension of Mohawk.
The strike, which is destined to
make the lease famous, was made in
the east crosscut from the bottom of
the 365-foot level, and was reached
after running distance of 120 feet,
or to within 16 feet of the side lines
of the Lotus Davis Sweeney lease on
the same claim, and the management
is satisfied that the lease is none 9th
er than an extension of the ledge
found en- the Mohawk. The ore is iden-
teal in character with that found on
the latter property, and through it
appear streaks of free gold and tel
| lurium.
The management is preparing to go
after the ore for all there is in it, and
by the first of the coming week an
other and bigger hosting plant will
be installed. The working forces are
to be doubled and arrangements made
to comence stopping imediately and
it is thought that the first shipment
will be sent out within the next week.

CATCH FISH WHILE ASLEEP.

Hawaiian Method So Destructive That
Law Against 1t Is Demanded.
]. M. Herring is the very appropri-
ate name of the fish inspector at Hilo,
Hawaiian islands. In a recent report
ne says that the food fishes of Hawaii
are rapidly disappearing because of
the slaughter of those not fully grown.
Ignorant natives and Japanese labor
ers are responsible. Besides using
small mesh nets they have a method
of making a catch which is thus de-
scribed by Mr.. Herring:
"The natives use a mixture or COM
bination of herbs known as auhuhu or
aka, ball of which when deposited
a, the bottom of pond frequented by
fish acts in the nature of chloroform.
putting the fish to sleep. When the
fish rise to the surface the natives
gather them up, and they are sold or
eaten like other fish.
There does not appear to be any
harmful effect from the use of this
drug after the fish are cooked. for the
Hawaiians eat fish killed in this man
ner with impunity. But the action of
the drug is the same on all fish within
the radius of it's influence, and the
young suffer death as we'll as the larg-
er fish.
"The present law provides penalty
for fishing with dynamite, but does
not cover this method of destroying
the fish,"
On Mr.. Herring's suggestion a new
protective law has been introduced in
the Hawaiian Legislature.
