AT THE HOTELS.


used TO be that one would see an opera
fitted together. the book set to the music.
Nowadays. II one desires TO present an
opera. and takes It 70 a manager, he Is
told. oh. never mind about the music;
let's see your book"
Musical opera Is becoming mere Sc
date. more realistic. II is not hodge
podge In which the words are scattered
between the music. The book IS taken
first, and the music Is skilfuIly inter-
woven in IT, The actors do not now rush
In upon the scenes in drOves, as they
used 10 do In the best OF the operas.
the chorus comes in naturally. as
quietly as they would ii life. There is not
at one instant an almost entirely clear
stage. and at the next one the same stage
filled with dancing girls"
Concerning Tom Jones" produced for
the first time in this city on Monday. Mr..
Savage said that he hardly felt quail
fed TO speak at length on such a sub
ject, inasmuch as be didn't write il. He did
say, however, that tom Jones" seemed
10 remind him OF a quiet English field.
with a brook purling through IT, The
scenes are so natural such true depic-
tiOns Of English lfe that he has found
ii a contrast 10 others Of his plays.
Washington. said Mr. Savage. is. I
believe one Of the very best cities in the
country in which to try out a new play.
Here you have such all national au-
diences. Il is always q satisfaction %
me % find that a play is well received
here. and I regard il as a most hatter-
ing indication Of success IN New York
Mr.. Savage said that much Of the work
Of mOlding TON Jones" is still 20 be
done. He attends the performances each
night, he said, and thinks continually
how each scene may possibly be bet
tered. As the whole play passes through
his mind. he picks out portions per-
haps only one small incident, finds that
il is possible 20 make IL better, and then
makes the change.
Emil Friderichs. Of Elberfeld. Ger
many. and his son-in-law. Capt. Brett
enbach. Of Danzig. Germany, were
az the New Willard last night Mr..
Friderichs Is an uncle Of Mr. Oskar
Erbsloch. the pilot Of the balloon
PommeFn. which engaged in the re-
cent race at St Louis. while Capt
Breitenbach, who Is an officer in the
Fifth Grenadier Rediment. Is a brother
Of the minister of railroads Of the Ger
man empire. Mr.. Friderichs and Capt.
Breitenbach have just returned from
tour Of the United States. extending as
far west as Denver When asked what
they thought Of America, both Of them
said "dee-lighted. with the correct Presi-
Dental accent The Rocky Mountains
and Niagara Falls both impressed them
very much.
Il am very sorry 10 see that Senator
Bailey has been dragged into the lime
light again in connection with the Wa
ters-Pierce OIL Company" said E. V.
Hustled. Of Dallas, Tex, last night az the
New Willard
Senator Bailey may have been in
voIyed with that corporation and with the
Standard Oil Company. or he may not.
but he was in a fair way al one time 10
become the Democratic nominee for Pres
ident. and now this chance Is exceedingly
slim. I DO not know where the South VIII
find a man superior 20 Senator Bailey, in
spite OF ali the outcry against him. u
the South could decide on some such
man. there would be far greater chance
OF the Democratic party winning a na-
tionaI election than there has been in
many years"
Mr.. Bryan. according 70 Mr. Hustled.
will very likely once again shine in the
fierce white light that beats about a
Presidential candidate. as he is still the
strongest man that has been mentioned
in this connection. West Of the Missis-
sippi River. Lewis Stuyvesant ChanleT.
Mr.. Hustled said. is not well enough
known 10 figure largely. unless ne con-
ducts a whirlwind campaign 0f publicity.
which probably would not count much
any way.
That the Democrats Will ever consider
William r. Hearst. Mr.. Hustled thinks, IS
extremely improbable. for outside Of a
few cities he has practically no popular
fly. Mr.. Hearst will according 70 Mr.
Hustled. be found in the ranks Of those
who support the Nebrsskan when the
/ final showdown is made in the national
convention.
Even with Bryan as the candidate OF
the Democracy, IT IS very likely that if
I President Roosevelt viii consent 10 run.
/ the question OF who viii be the next
+ President viii have been settled long
/ before the time for election And It
won't be settled favorably foT the Dem
I ocrats,' he concluded

( ring, Of 81. Louis, az the National last
night. 1t may seem 70 Americans at

/ entertain the Secretary. but I do not
/ believe that a wiser investment could

given AR. Roots visit. both in Mexico
and the United States. cannot help but
/ have a good effect in the two countries

4 spects The large amount Of American
capital invested In property in Mexico the
( constantly increasing number Of Ameri-
cans who so 20 that country 20 live and
work. make il imperative that the reia-
tions between Mexico and the United
States be OF the best.
Mr. Root was everywhere accorded
every mark Of respect and honor. and i'm
pressed the Mexican people with the fact
/ that the United States desires that in all
WAYS the relations between the two na-
tions be carried on 10 the advantage OF
both"
Mr.. Warning said that all the countries
south Of the United States are awaken
ing TO the fact that this government has
no interest in them other than the most
friendly. and that everything that can b
done TO retain lasting peace among
them is now being done
