"HE performances at the, American
tbeater of The Bohemian Girl"
and now of William Vincent
wallace's mariana" make COM
PARSONS between the popular music
of our forefathers and popular music
of today almost inevitable.
At the matinee yesterday. in spite
of the old fashioned qualities discov-
cred in the old score of Mariana. the
grip of its melodies was still youthful
and vigorous. n
Perhaps the best explanation of the
longevity of these old tunes may be
found in their simplicity and direct
ness and in their sentiment-princl-
palIy the latter. The masses love SEN
timent. and the man who unhesitating-
ly gives it to them is popular. There
is Belasco, the wizard of melodrama, TO
prove it He does not touch manu-
script that he does not cram II with
sentimept-simple sentiment, mean,
flial love, devotion to duty, love OF
man and wife. love of offspring and the
rest of the sentiments which we claim
to understand and affect frequently TO
joke about.
What a contrast there is between the
subjects of the old ballads and the new,

songs of today, which delight the
crowds for few months and then are
happily forgotten, and the songs that

so our songs are sophisticated, know
ing and very wise. They deal with
subjects which would be barred from
polite conversation-the love affairs or
loosely joined negroes, their jealousies
and the like. Or else we exploit the

innuendoes and call it song People

Warren's Profession" you do not dis

melodies, as everybody knows, like

STRIKERS YIELD.
Surrender Only Point That Stood in
Way of Settlement.

Cleveland. O., May 21.-Apparently
the last obstacle in the way of settle
ment of the street railway car strike
was removed this morning, when the
employees of the old Forest City COM
pany, the original three cent fare line,
agreed to leave their seniority rights
in the hands of arbitrators. This has
been the chief bone of contention be-
tween the union leaders and President
Dupont of the Municipal Traction COM
pany. President Dupont has insisted
throughout that he would give the
Forest City men, who refused to strike.
the first choice of runs.
With this impeachment removed it
was thought this morning that an
agreement would be reached today by
which all the issues would be submit
ted to arbitration. While many law
less acts were perpetrated last night by
strike sympathiZerS, no person was
seriously hurt, half a dozen cars were
damaged by the explosion of dynamite
and one or two persons were slightly
hurt by broken glass.
President Behner and other officers
of the Garments union, visited the var
ious car barns early today and urged
the strikers to refrain from acts of
violence.
At largely attended meeting of the
United Trades and Labor Council last
night a general street car boycott was
declared. An appeal was made to all
people not to patronize the cars pend
ing a settlement of the strike.
