Publishers Press.I

Rome, Jan. 26.-It developed today
that following the audience which his
Holiness granted Mgr, Kennedy, rec
tor of the American college yesterday
at which the latter presented the
Pope with Peters pence sent by Bisa-
op O'Connor, of tn Newark, \. j.
Diocese to the amount of $1,000, the
Pontiff was stricken with a severe
fainting spell which made ii neces-
sary for him TO have medical atten-
dance. The condition of his health is
causing considerable worry to the
Vatican attendants but he declares
to see physician unless it becomes
absolutely necessary.
The French Clerical troubles have
greatly preyed upon his mind with the
result that he refused to eat at times
and in fact, he confessed to his ply
sicians lately that he eats but one
meal a day.

Sensational German Opera
"SaIome" Forbidden the
Boards in New York.
WAS GIVEN LAST TUESDAY
SCENE IN PLAY PARTICULARLY
REPULSIVE is WHERE SAIOME
KISSES THE DEAD HEAD OF
JOHN THE BAPTIST.
Publishers Prcss.1


New York, Jan. 26.-"Salome," the
sensational opera by Richard Strauss,
the German composer, which had its
first performance i'll this country
| Tuesday night at the Metropolitan
opera house, may never be repeated
in this city, it was declared today, at
least at the Metropolitan. This is
the edict of the board of directors of
the Metropolitan opera.
Mr.. Conreid received in his mail to-
day a letter from the board of direc-
tors, signed by the secretary of the
board, protesting in vigorous terms
against repetition of "Salome'' on
the grounds that the opera, based on
biblical story. and carried out as
it is with disgusting and sensational
realism, offends the publics sense of
decency.
The Most Offensive Scene.
1t was stated before the meeting
of the directors that the scene in the
opera where Salome receives the sew
cred head of John the Baptist and
kisses the dead lips is the one
against which the main objection is
made. In the original play by Oscar
Wilde this scene is much more re-
pulsive than in the opera.
All the musical critics in New
York, however, have declared that
the accompanying music by Strauss
even heightens the grewsome effect.
Salome is the opera of Richard
Strauss founded on the story of
Oscar Wilde. 1t tells the story of the
luStful love of SalOme for John the
Baptist
Story of the Play.
HerOd, the King, is smitten with
Salome, who is the daughter of Her
odias. now Herod's wife, but previous
Salome flees from his gIances to the
terrace, where she hears the voice of
John the Baptist prophesying in his
prison.
Demanding that John be brought
out for her to see, she conceives
violent passion for him and declares
that she will kiss his lips. But the
prophet sternly repulses her and fin
ally curses her, returning to the els
tern that is his prison.
John is confined in a cistern in the
palace of the king, and there Salome
calls to him and tells him of her love-

says that she may have anything of
him if she will perform for him the
dance of the seven wells. This Sa-
lone does. and the King, carried
away by his passion, cries out that
her wishes shall be granted.
Then Salome demands the severed
head of John, that she may kiss in
death the lips that were refused her
in life.
The head is brought to Salome. and
she kisses it pasionately time and
time again. The King, Mortified at
Salome, orders her death, and the cur
tain falls on the maidens dead body.
Salome, Tuesday night was sung by
Nine. Fremstad.

~ Than Promised Earlier.
The reports on the wheat crop in Ford
county, like the other counties In the
wheat belt ere Conflicting, 90 that It ID
impossible to get anything like an ac-
curate estimate. There is no doubt that
: lot Of wheat has bean caught BY the
frost Of a little over week back. Some
fields are said TO have spots where the
frost nipped the wheat, while In other
portions Of the field 1t appears to be un-
hurt. The acreage is large in Ford coun-
ty and there will be q lot Of wheat. Some
individuals will be hit pretty hard The
wheat from all prospects will be worth a
good price, and Ford county, from all
that can be learned, is 10 as good con-
dition for wheat crop as any other
county in the Kansas wheat belt. Several
men have reported within the last day or
two that they will have fine crops Of
wheat, and claim that the damage from
the late frost Is being overestimated.
There is no doubt however, that the frost
has done lot Of damage. and will pre-
vent the county from showing the un-
usually heavy yield Of wheat promised
earlier in the season. II the crop had
not been nipped In places BY the frost,
the yield ln Ford county this year would
have been something remarkable.

spects and convey the good wishes of the

that he had never enjoyed visit any
place more than he did the one to this

lighted to hear that Mr. Reeves, at whose
