NINE. CALVE HERE AGAIN.
m tPPElRS IN CARMEN" AT THE
MtNHATT.lN OPERA HOUSE.

a Large Audience Welcomes Her and Gives
Her six Recalls After the First Act
Others Of the Cast, Save DOnaIda,
Acuult Themselves with Merit.
NIme Calve made her temperance in
this country at the Manhattan Opera House
Inst night, singing Carmen in Bizet's some
what familiar opera. A large audience
greeted the soprano and observed her per-
tormance with interest. OF course there
was a cordial spirit in the auditorium and
ir the close of the first act Nine. Calv6
accepted six recalls. After that, as it began
90 dawn on the habitues Of the young West
side opera house that their favorite enter
tainment had not been improved in any
respect by the introduction OF larger and
more expensive prima donna, the enthusi-
asm gradually waned.
Nine Calves impersonation Of Carmen, so
FAR as it can be called an impersonation. is
quite we'll known to experienced New York
opera goers. 1t is. in most respects. just
hat it was when the singer was here before
IN he first act her voice seemed better than
- had for some seasons past, but before the
end Of the second act it had become harsh
and unmelodious. 1t must be confessed,
roo. that time has been more than generous
20 the singer, and she gained in physical
weight what she has lost in artistic stature.
Al her old eccentricities were present
la, night. She kept herself consistently
and persistently out Of the picture. She
was continually coquetting with the audi
enCe and introducing bits of stage busi-
ness which broke the illusion of the scene
and disconcerted her comrades. For con-
sI~tency, artistic coherency and dramatic
sincerity she evidently cared nothing. A
point with the gallery, or a laugh from the
stalls, was a guerdon TO be sought al all
hazards. Comparisons are not criticism,
bur in this instance they have not only been
invited but challenged Hence there need
he no hesitation about declaring that the
Manhattan Opera House has this season
known n more consistent and artistic Car
nan.
From these brief records it will be
gathered that Nine. Calve is and yet is
mot the same Nine. Calve she used TO be.
Her Interpretation of Carmen last night
tempts a comment similar to that of Ernest
Newman on the Symphonic Domestica"
of Strauss"it is the work of clever man
who was once genius" That the presence
of the popular soprano had stimulated
fresh interest in the West Side representa-
rions of Carmen" was manifest; but in
view of the unquestionable fact that before
the performance was half through the
audience was getting its chief musical en-
joyment from the singing of Messrs. Ancona
and Dalmores and the comedy of Mr.. Gill;
bert it seemed a pity that the soprano
had come so far to accomplish so little.
1t should be said in justice to the other
members Of the cast that with the exception
Of Nine Donalda they acquitted them
selves with much merit. Nine. Donalda
sang with an unusually shrill and unpleasant
quality of tone. The orchestraplayed well,
and Mr.. Campanini conducted with great
skill, and he needed it.

THE "RING" COMES TO AN END.
A Dull Performance OF "GOetterdaem-
merung'' at the Metropolitan.

A Dun Performance OF "GOetterdaenl.
merunE" at the Metropolitan.
Der Ring des Nibelungen" was brought to
a conclusion last night at the Metropolitan
Opera House with a respectable but not dis
tinglshed performance OF -Gotterdam-
rnerung." Mr.. Burgstaller, who had in
his hands the role Of Sieofried, was in very
poor voice, and therefore had a very hard
struggle with the music. His acting
too, was by no means noble or always
dignifed. Nine. Gadski, the BriinHhilde,
was apparently somewhat tired and her
tones had not all their natural beauty.
But her impersonation was characterized
nv great sincerity and strong feeling
for the character.
The other members OF the cast have so
oftcn been heard in the parts entrusted
10 them last night that comment on their
dongs seems unnecessary. The general
sririt Of the performance was dulled by
M. Burgstaller's disability The orchestra
played we'll and at times even beautifully.
A short chapter might be given on the
pictorial features Of the presentation,
but since these have for some years past
been a sorrowful spectacle for roasted
gods or killed men the less said now the

HAMMERSTEIN AN ITALIAN
Says BOnci. as to the Contract They Are
at Law Over.

Says BOnci, as "a the Contract They Are
at Law Over.
The pith OF Alessandro Bonci's answer
to Oscar Hammerstein's complaint in the
suit to enjoin the tenor from singing for
| Herr Conried next winter is that Mr. Ham
merstein is as to the contract between
them a citizen of Italy and that the con-
tract is therefore beyond the jurisdiction
Of any but Italian courts.
Bonci explains at length how Hammer
stein came to be an Italian. Prior to March
Is, 1908, he says, he (Bonci) had never been
in the United States, couldn't speak English
and knew nothing of United States courts.
Hence he was unwilling to sing in the
United States unless it should be agreed
in the contract that any legal proceedings
should be brought in Florence, his home
city. Mr.. Hammerstein was agreeable
he says, and this clause was inserted in the
contract as clause s:
For the above purposes Comm Bonci Sc
Iects az his residence before the law his house
No Via Mazznl, and Mr. Hammerstein. con-
hrming his renunciation OF every benefit and
right to which the laws of his nation might
eutitle him, selects as his legal domicile in
Florence Via Gallo. No. 65. and needful
legal notification shall be made to these
respective dOmIciles
Hammersten asserted in his p etition for
an lnluUCtlOu dkdlAbt LOhCl NlldJ lIlc lenOT
had agreed TO eliminate this clause when
he compelled HammeTstein to pay him
$40 600 before he would consent 20 sing a
single note at the Manhattan this season.
Bonci admits that Hammerstein paid
him the SIC, 900, but declares that this was
in the nature Of an advance. which has
neen paid back at the rate Of $500 a week
deducted from the tenors salary, Bonoi
declares that he never agreed to tho abro-
CATION Of clause 8 as a quid pro quo. II
Hammerstein had kept to the terms Of his
contract and opened his opera house
at the beginning Of last November instead
Of on December 3, Bonci says, he wouldn't
have asked for the $4,000 at all.
Bonci swears that Hammerstein informed
him and his manager, Signor Carbone, after
the first forty days OF the engagement
had expired that he would not exercise
his option to renew the contract. On jan
uary % Hammerstein wanted to make new
contract for a shorter period and at only
$500 performance instead of 81 900 origi-
nally agreed upon. Upon this BODci quit.

CHICAGO, March 27.-The prosecution in

i BIG RATS

Wahted-Rats, the gray, wharf
inhabiting variety. Inquire DR.. M.
B. Grieve, health officer.
In one last effort to apprehend
and execute the last of the large
gray. rat" Health Officer Grieve
today sends out an urgent request
that all those who have the ac-
quaintance of any rats under the
ban, entrap or capture them and
brins them to the health office in
the CITY hall, where 10 cents per
rat gill be paid.
I'd to date just $50 rats have
been received since it first became
known that a crusade was on. In
few days more it is expected that
the rat problem will be solved for
the present. What started the
health officer on his crusade was
the discovery in San Francisco
that wharf rates We're inoculated
with bubonic plague. Since the
$50 rodents were brought in, there
has been a decided lull in the rat
catching industry, and in conse-
quenee it is believed that one last
skirniish will result in the capture
of all that remain.

WHO WINS THIS GAME,
CITY OR THE w. w. p. CO.,?

At a meeting of the BOARD OF
public works, which is called for
late this afternoon, 1t is proposed
to submit to the city council
proposition to force the Washing
ton Water Power Co. to withdraw
the exclusive clause of its lighting
contract. If the company does not
concede this the board asks that a
clause be inserted to abrogate the
proposed five year contract when
ever a competing company sub
mits "a bid
The company demands that it
be allowed the exclusive lighting
privilege for five years and has re-
fused to eliminate the demand on
request Of the board. This has
nece$sitated the board asking sup

The board has secured reports
FROM other cities on prices Of light
and has found that Spokane's rates
are reasonable enough by COM
parison, so the board is making no
kick on the 81 per light rate. But
it objects to tying the city up for

the companys self-perpetuating
contract when there is prospect of
competition within a year.
|. Just how the administration is
going to help itself is not apparent.
A city plant would have solved the
problem, but the council couldn't
figure that far ahead.
The comparative prices secured
from other cities, it should be re-

steam power plants. The w. w.
