or two orchestras which could visit the
various universities, normal schools and
nigh schools would do wonders toward
giving California boys and girls the
same opportunities for musical educa-
ton that they now have for obtaining
education along other lines.
Music teachers have not, as a rule,
the time to teach music; in reality they
must perforce be piano teachers, voice
teachers or teachers of whatever par
tcuIar instrument they profess. They
lament their restrictions in this respect
as deeply as do the pupils; and both
master and student would hail with
delight the possibility of having re-
c1talS, lectures and concerts as part of
the regular scholastic work Of the year,
which should give the student a broad
appreciation of musical art in all it's
forms, either in solos, concerted work
or chamber music.
Mr.. MetZger, however, found his eff
forts in furthering this cause single

made appeal to Charles Farwell Edison.

LUCIA SUITS OPERA
COMPANY PERFECTLY
D0NIZETTPS WORK GIVEN Elk
CELLENT RENDERING
Zavaski Is Heard to the Greatest Ad=
vantage, and Battain Interprets
Role of Edgardo in ADJ
mirabIe Tone

The Lambardi opera company could
not have been more happily cast than
in Lucia di LammermOor," DoniZetti 6
melOdious opera, which was given at
the Mason last night Astounding as ii
does in beautiful solos and duets, and
with one harmonious trio and the still
uncomfortable seXtet, the work is well
within the powers of the italian sing
ers. The performance was one of the
best of the week, and there was very
little to ,criticiSe about it. There was
almost perfect agreement between JAG
cal and his musicians and the singers
on the stage; the orchestra was more
successfully subordinated to the others
than before, and the prompter had lit
tie more to do than mark time with his
foref1nger.
Eugenio Battain again demonstrated
his right to praise of the highest for
his most satisfactory Interpretation OF
the role Of Edgardo. His voice has re-
covered it's purity. married the first of
the week by cold, and his acting was
fully as good as in 'Rigoletto" and
of Lucia at the climax of the second
act was performed with apparent aban-
don, yet without any sacrifice of tone.
1t electrified the audience and brought
out wild applause.
Tamanti Zavaski sang the trying
arias with all their familiar decora-
tions and embellishments of trills and
runs and long drawn-out cadences with
the finish she has shown in her other
roles. Her voice seems more flexible
than it was in "Rigoletto," and the
notes rippled from her lips clear and
pure. Her pianissimo passages in
"Verranno la SulpAure'' were executed
so sweetly and delicateIy that the au-
dience sat hushed and almost breath
less throughout A little more ease Of
manner and less precision of gesture
would add much to Madame Vavaski's
performance.
The familiar sextet, as usual.
brought forth rapturous applause that
demanded an encore, which was
granted. AS at previous performances
the company shows rather poor judg-
ment in the granting of encores. It
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-01-03

never seems to occur to it that con-
tinued applause can be met in any other
way than by a repetition of the part
sung, no matter how greatly it may tax
the singers voices, and regardless of
the fact that it spoils dramatic effect.
Last night, after the tremendous climax
of the second act, the applause con-
tinuing, the entire chorus had to be
rounded up on the stage-that is the
way it looked, SO awkwardly did they
f1le Inland then the principals came
in and Edgardo repeated his denun-
citation of Lucia. The result was an
anti-climax.
Giuseppe Pimazzoni was very salts
Factory in the role Of Henry Ashton.
His baritone solos were heartily ap-
plauded- Artidoro Mauceri was better
cast IN the part of Raymond than as
Captain Zuniga in Carmen
There will be four more performances

SALE OF STATE SCHOOL LANDS

The sales Of public school lands
Of the state this year will bring over
$780, 900 to that fund, making the
total amount loaned to the different
counties and in deferred payments
100000.
When the constitution was
adopted the minimum selling price
OF the school lands was placed at
$40 an acre. Those who were pes
simistically inclined opposed this
minimum on the ground that most
OF the lands would not bring that
price. Since the first sales the
average selling price has increased
from year to year, until the sales
this year were at an average OF S42
an acre. When all the lands are
disposed Of the state will have an
educational fund OF about 500, 000,-
600, the interest upon which will be
devoted to the maintenance Of the
schools, and which will be practi.
cally sufficient to maintain them
without local taxation.
The sales reports the present year
are shown by the following table,
which is an indication OF the demand
for South Dakota lands. 1t should
be remembered that the prices were
for absolutely raw prairie, and that
improved lands in the same vicinity
are held at from $40 to $40 an
acre more.

The company levied assessments on
its tornado business of 81, TAI ;78 to
pay total losses of about $3.50. 90. The
company was examined two years ago.
and its attention called q that time
to the fact that it was violating the
law in several particulars. The viola
tions still continue. The records of
the company are in poor shape and
numerous complaints have been re-
ceived from policy holders. The re-
port has been referred to the attorney
general for action.
Fire losses for November in Mime
sofa amounted to $3.50, 600 compared
with $246, 900 for the same month in

TALK OF A JUDICIAL CANDI.
DATE.

The Minneapolis Journal states that
there is already some talk among the
members of the. bar in the Seventh
judicial district over successor to
Judge L. L. Baxter of Fergus Falls.
According to the Journal, Judge
Baxter has signlfied, or rather in
dictated, that he will retire when his
term expires two years hence In dis
cussing the matter of q probable
successor to Judge Baker, the Journal
says:
There seems to be much sentiment
for Sen. G. j. Gunderson, of Alexan-
dria. but it has been pointed out that
he is Negligible. All members of the
senate a re-barred from being elected
governor or judge in 1910, because of
the ills passed at the last session,
increasing the salary of those Offices.
Under the constitution they are not
eligible to hold Offices whose salaries
have been raised until q year after
their legislative term expires A likely
selection for this place is G. G. Houpt,
present United States district at
torney. His home IS in Fergus Falls,
also the residence of Judge Baxter,
and his standing in the district would
make him formidable candidate

USE OF SIlCkfRS LEGAL
Supreme urtHoldS Vote,
Has Right to Place Them
on Ballot

The supreme court holds that a
voter has a right to use s.stickers'' in
casting his ballot for candidate for
Office whose name does not appear on
the printed sheet.
The question arose in the appeal Of
T.. O. Homlne, OF Yellow Medicine
county, from the decision OF the dis.
trict court of that county which
declared Oscar g. Shortum elected
sheriff, as the result Of last falls
election.
Homme and Snortum were candi-
dates for the republican nomination
for sheriff and Snortum won bv q
small majority. At the election
Homme supplied his followers with
'sticke1s, which they placed in the
blank space opposite the title OF
sheriff. The return of the county
canvasslng board declared Homme
elected, but the lower court hold that
the :'stickers" were not included in
the law which provides that a voter
may write any name he CHOICES IN the
blank spaces on the ballot
The supreme court says that it is q
constitutional right which every voter
has to vote for whom he pieases, and
that the statute must be literally con-
strued. The conclusion is that the
word write" includes any mode Of
writing words or letters.
