n. !. PAYS 81 PER
SECOND fOROPERA
WHILE THE COST OF PRODUC-
TION FIGURES ABOUT $500 A
MINUTE FOR EACH PERFORM
ANCE.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Of all ex-
pensive things in this, the most ex-
pensive city in the world, grand OPP
era music is apparently the most
costly, from any point of view
The expense of attending a single
performance may run as high as $40
for single seat or 500 for a box,
with other incidental expenses in
proportion. 1t is no uncommon thing
for single audience to represent
fortunes amounting to more than a
billion dollars, while the value of
the costumes and jewels worn not
infrequently exceeds $40, 100000.
The cost of producing the operas
which attract such an audience is
said to be at least 5000 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 a far high
er rate than the president of the
United States. A list of these sala-
ries, the first of it's kind made pub
lie, has just been compiled by one
of the organizations producing grand
opera here. The list includes one
singer who receives $4,000 for each
of fifty performances or 100000
for about 100 hours singing; two
who receive $500 a night; one
who receives $1,000 for each per-
Torrance; four who receive $500
each; some who get $500 apiece,
while there are more than twenty
other singers who although they oc-
cupy minor roles. receive from $3.50
to $500 each time they appear. The
contracts for the more prominent vo-
calists provide for certain number
of performances at the rate of two
week, and the artists are paid wheth-
er they are called upon to appear
or not. As a result of this condi-
ton more than 100000 has already
been expended this year for service
not delivered.
While the salaries of the singers
form the most important item in
New York's 5000 minute music,
there are other extraordinary ex-
penses. The five musical directors
receive altogether about $125,000 a
season, in addition to which there
are other expenses which constitute
nearly one-half the total sum. AL
together the figures reveal the fact
that New York has the most expen-
sive music in the world, which, in
case of grand opera, is dispensed at
the cost of about So a second, for
which the public pays about 81 a
second.

For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most per-
sistent and disagreeable cough,
which invariably extended over a
period Of several weeks and caused
her many sleepless nights" writes
Will J. Hayner, editor Of the Burley,

cough again put in an appearance
and my wife, acting on the sugges-

The result was, indeed, marvellous.
After three doses the cough entirely
disappeared and has not manifested
itself since" This remedy is for
