'PARsIFAL"A GORGEOUS SCENE
Synopsis OF the Wonderful Creation
OF Wagner.

One of the beautiful features in the
spectacle of "Parsifal' is the flower
garden scene with its fascinating flower
maidens. This garden is the creation
of KlingsOr for the purpose of seGucing
the Knights of the Holy Grail from
their lives of holiness. How he sue
ceeded, for time at least, we are told
in the play. But it is in the attempted
destruction of the soul of the hero,
Parsifal, where KIingsor puts forth his
greatest efforts, and the flower garden
and its occupants are made to play
their most important part. The garden
itself is enchanting. It's luXuriant trop-
zeal plants of gorgeous cOlOrs dazzle
with their splendor. The scene blazes
with irrldescent grandeur in the sun
light. 1t is into the vortex of sensuOus
creation that the guileless Parsifal is
lured by Klingsor, intent upon his
moral downfall. And yet we see how
this noble youth is enabled to resist all
temptations that beset him. How, even
the arch temptress, Kundry, transform
ed into an enchantress of wondrous
beauty, is powerless to attract him.
We see these two arch demons, frus-
trated in their evil Vaccinations, at
last resort to violence, fearful that Par
Sifal shall escape them. Klingsor hurls
the sacred lance at the head OF the
youth. 1t fails to strike him but mir
aculously remains suspended over his
head. Parsifal grasps the holy relic
and with it makes the sign of the cross.
A loud crash of thunder and, as if an
earthquake occurred, the magic castle
crum bies into ruins; the flower garden
and all it contains is turned into an
arid waste, and Klingsor disappears
forever, Kundry is overwhelmed with
fright and horror, while Parsifal, hold
ing aloft the holy spear, springs over
the ruins of the castle and is lost to
view.

SITE OF SCHOOL is
SETTLED AT LAST
Commit tee in Meeting Makes
Decision
LAND serecreu /, Of slRAsLE
Inc udes RyIander Farm Of 200 Acres
and 6ahnsen Farm of 100 Acres
College euitdi ,gs - L. go Near the
Form go d IT PropeEty

The site of the Third district agri-
cultural college was fully determined
upon yesterday, when for the third
time the district executive committee
assembled in Americas for this pur-
pose. The meeting was harmonious,
and a desirable site was selected.
The full committee took part in the
deliberations and the choice of the
board was made unanimous.
The site selected by the committee
embraces 300 acres level farming lands,
in highest state of cultivation, lying
upon the eastern limits of the city with
frontage on the Seaboard Airline.
1t includes 200 acres owned by Mr..
| Arthur Rylander and 100 acres owned
Jointly by Mr.. Ed. l.. Kiker and DR.. P.
F. Bahnsen. OF the latter tract there
is a frontage of 40 feet on Lee street,
Immediately south of the old Price
place and opposite the Seig lands.
The college, therefore, will have two
approaches; a broad avenue leading up
from Lee street, and another avenue
from Fielder street, between the Chap
man place and Mrs. E. G. Simmons
residence.
The buildings will be located upon
high ground and will command an adj
mirable view both from the two streets
and the Seaboard Railway.
In fact, the Seaboard runs through
the west half of the property, thus af-
fording ample railway facilities.
The committee, Messrs. Daniel,
Heard, Fitzgerald, Heys and Matthews,
were pleased at this site, and so an
nounced to the local committee. The
deeds will be made out at once and
forwarded to the Governor. The price
paid for the land was $12, 900.
The committee also inspected the
Wheeler property in East Americas,
and one other in that locality, but de-
cided the lands selected as best suited
all things considered.
AS stated, the Rylander place is one
of the model farms of the county. 1t is
in high state of cultivation and has
ample buildings, besides magnificent
vineyards and orchards. Only week
ago Mr.. Rylander refused 800 an acre
for land he sold yesterday at $40.
His farm was not upon the market,
but he recognized the necessities of the
local committee and, with character
istic public spirit, was glad to sacrifice
his private interests for the sake of Sc
curing the college here, being assured
his lands would be acceptable.
And thus the vexed problem for a
site for our $4,000 college is settled
and the public well pleased.

CHOICE OF TWO EVILS.


A New York scientist, the father OF
q large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, SO the man of science went to
the rescue.
II think l can quiet little Flora he
said. There's no use humming to her
in that silly way. What she wants is
real music. The fact that used to
sing in the Glee club at Yale and sang
we'll. too, may make difference"
Accordingly, the professor took the
child and, striding up and down the
room, sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse Of
his song, when ring was heard. The
door was opened, and there stood a
girl of IA, who said:
I'm one of the family that's just
moved into the fat next to yours.
There's a sick person with us, and he
says, If it's all the same to you. would
you mind letting the baby cry instead
of singing to it?'-Success.

sANsHEE OR DEATH WRATH.
This 10 One Of the Oldest and Most
Respectable Ghosts.

One OF the Oldest and most respect
able types Of ghost is the banshee,
which may be regarded as near rela
tive Of the death wrath" inasmuch
rs It gives warning Of impending
death by uttering lamentable walls,
says Lippincott's. Some families take
great pride In the possession of such
"spooks,' a good example of which is
described by Mrs. Levey of Z Castle
terrace, London, who writes: The
night when my mother lay dying was
one OF great pain. At about nine
o'clock there came fearful wall Of a
woman's voice, as If swaying to and
fro past the windows. | ran to the
window, but no human being could
be there, as the room was two fights
UP and no houses near. She died at
1890 p m. My father and family sat
at dinner on the evening of February
4, 1868, when the same fearful cry
or wall filled our house. At eight
o'clock next morning my youngest
brother died quite suddenly. The
same thing happened on my fathers
death in 1887; likewise on the death
of my sister in 1889, and on the death
of another brother in 1890" This
'banshee seems to have been rather
out OF place in London, such wailing
ghosts (Which are not seen and can
not therefore be properly termed ap-
paritions) being especially domesti,
Gated in Ireland, where they are usual
ly associated with dilapidated castles
and an impoverished and long-de-
Ecended gentry.
