IN REMEMBRANCE.

Baby's gone but still there fingers
A fond memory in each heart.
We shall miss her oh! so sadly,
As from us she drifts apart
Jesus called her and she answered
To his ever lasting call;
Earth is passed. her gain IS heaven,
Asleep in Jesus, that IS all
With our deepest sympathy.

New York, Feb 24.-(Special Cor respOndence of The Republcan.)-Of all expensive things in this, the most expensive city in the world, grand opera music is apparently the most costly, from any point of view. The expense of attending a single perform ance may run as high as S10 for a single seat or $100 for a box, with other incidental expenses in propor- tion. It is no uncommon thing for a single audience to represent fortunes amounting to more than billion dol lars, while the value of the costumes and jewels worn not infrequently eX- ceed S10000000 The cost of produc- ing the operas which attract such an audience is said to be at least $200 a minute for each performance. Just how this remarkable figure is achieved is best instanced by the salaries paid the singers, among whom even those of little fame are paid at far higher rate than the president of the United States. list of these salaries, the first of it's kind made public, has just been compiled by one of the organiZa- tiOns producing grand opera here. The list includes one singer who receives $2,OOO for each of fifty performances, or $100,000 for about 100 hours sing ing: two who receive 1,500 a night; one who receives $1,000 for each ap- pearance; four who receive $500 each; some who get $500 apiece. while there are more than twenty other singers who although they occupy minor roles, receive from $25O to $500 each time they appear. The contracts for the more prominent vocalists provide for a certain number of performances at the rate of two a week, and the artists are paid whether they are called upon to appear or not. As a result of this condition more than $60,000 has all ready been expanded this year for serv- ice not delivered While the salaries of the singers form the most impor- tant in New York's S200-a-minute music, there are other extraordinary expenses. The five musical directors receive altogether about $125,OOO season in addition to which there are other expenses which constitute nearly one-half the sum total Altogether the figures reveal the fact that New York has the most expensive music in the world. which in the cast of grand opera, is dispensed at the cost of about $3 a second, for which the public pays about :4 a second.

From present indications the fight which Governor Hughes started by the declaration in favor of direct nomina- tions. which he made in his speech at the Hotel Astor. the governors official New York residence on the occasion of the dinner of the Hughes Alliance will become as bitter and will attract as widespread national attention as his struggle with the politicians last spring over the subject of track gambling Already the opposition to the governors plans has enlisted the support of many of the party man. agers who helped to elect him last fall after being forced against their will to place him in nomination. Those who are opposing the governors plans have started a so-called campaign of education and are attempting to arouse public sentiment against direct nomi- nations by citing the recent election of eX-Governor Chamberlain to the senate from oregon, and other in stances in which they claim that this system has worked to the disadvan- tage of the dominant political party. Very soon, it is expected, the governor will begin his own campaign which is likely to consist of one of his cele- brated appeals to the people" which have worked so effectively in previous cases. Then the fur will begin to fly in good earnest. Even those who hate the governor most sincerely-and they number a great many by this time admit that he is a good fighter and that they are certain to have "a run for their money" in any attempt to block his proposals. What the result of the contest will be nobody is vet able to predict, but it seems to be

HIS ton as during his past.
 It seems probable that the supreme court will eventually be called upon to settle a case involving one dollars worth of cake, and that the govern ment may find itself the defendant in a suit to recover equal damages. What promises to be one of the most notable contests in the history of queer law suits has to do with an ordinary cake shipped to this city from Italy. While seemingly insignificant, this matter has already upset the local custom house, raised complicated points in connection with the tariff and now be- comes so involved in the resultant red tape that it is believed only the SUI preme court can settle it. Incidentally, the case affords an interesting illus tration of the custom house rulings and charges to which so many New Workers object strenuously. The cake in question was ordered from his home country by an Italian resident in this city for his Christmas celebration. Up- on its arrival here he received a bill from a firm of custom house brokers
  not include the cost Of the cake. The bill contained the following items: Appraisers fees, 62 cents; carriage, 50 cents; custom house blanks, 15 cents; custom house brokerage. g., and duty on cake. S1 The orderer of the cake looked the matter up and refused to pay. The only references in the tariff schedule are to non edible cake, which pays 20 per cent ad valorem, and to salt and nitre cake. articles used in manufacturing. which must pay SIPS a ton. This being the case the pur- chaser could not understand why his cake should be dutiable. and refused to pay the dollar in question, while raising an additional complaint as to the other charges. The innocent cause of the trouble is still in the hands of the custom house and there it will remain unless the courts within the next eighteen months uphold the con tention of the purchaser. Failing such action. about July, 1910. Uncle Sam at the New York custom house, will off cially sell said cake at public auction to the highest bidder.
