''PURITANI"' HEARD AGAIN
NINE. TETRAZZINI REVELS IN
BELLINI'S MUSIC.
The Eminent Soprano Discloses the Gems
OF Her Vocal Treasury Mr. COnstan-
tine Not In His Best Noice-The Gen
erai Performance Very satisfactory.

On the stage hallowed by the conse-
Grated festival play -Salome' stern
Puritans had their troubles last night
might be as scarlet their voices could
at times be as white as snow. Mr.. Ham
merstein opened the Manhattan Opera
House with Il Puritani." and the promise
made by that performance has been well
fulfilled. Last nights presentation Of
the sad old opera was interesting because
it gave Nine. Tetrazzinis admirers
opportunity TO hear her in a new role
1t requires an extraordinarily fine dis
elimination 10 enjoy this treat, because
mortals of ordinary work day dulness
are wont to think that Nine. Tetrazzini's S
powers Of Characterization have small
limits.
But the music Of Eirird gives her scope
for the exhibition of all her vocal feats
and it Is evident that these are what
people 60 to hear. She seldom troubles
herself about the plan of an aria as a
whole, but sings in a most careless and
slovenly manner all phrases which lie
in the poor part of her voice or which
fail to admit of a staccato. a MESA di
voce or some other specially, When her
time comes, as in the first big finale Of
-Puritani," she makes the most of il, and
barring her abuse of her upper tones
she does some really effective singing.
Nine, Tetrazzini has many gifts but in
one she stands entirely alone. She is the
only singer now before the public who
has her chest tones at the top and her
head tones at the bottom. This alone is
worth going miles TO study. and it is a
gift which enables the soprano to produce
vocal effects novel and astonishing In
these happy days to astonish an audience
is greater than to bring it under the spell
Of pure and elevated art.
Mr.. Constantine. who was the Lord
Arthur last night. was in very poor voice
and in his first number sang with much
difficulty and hoarse tone. But his voice
improved as he went on, and in the cir
cumstances he acquitted himself with
credit. His style is well suited 10 operas
of this kind as it has all the traditional
mannerisms and most of the traditional
graces.
Mr.. de Segurola as SIR George WoHon
INDUCED in an amount of eXpJosreness
unusual TO this good singer, but his inn
personation had dignity to commend il.
Mr.. Polese as Sir Richard +. ritz was pas
sionate. most passionate, while Nine.
Severna as Queen Henucita was very
sad spectacle indeed. The opera was well
mounted. the chorus sang eSoellently and

METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE.
Mr. Caruso and Nine. Aida Sing Principal
Parts In "ManOn."

Massenet's -Manon" was sung at the
Metropolitan Opera House last night
and that rare tenor. Enrioo Caruso, made
his temperance. singing the C<eroiier
des GrieuI. Mr.. Caruso was not in his
best voice, and at times his tones were
just a trifie shaky. But he is an artist
and he has much power behind his voice
1t is a pity that he has Of late evinced a
fondness for extension Of the medium
register and has striven to carry a big,
broad quality too isr up. This has done
his voice no good. and it has robbed his
singing of much of the crystalline trans
parency which was one Of its greatest
charms.
Nine. Aida was the Hdnon. She has
one advantage over Mr.. Caruso and
that is in the possession Of many more
registers than he. Garcia recognized
three registers and some Of the early
masters found only two. Clara Kathleen
Rogers found five some of which she
called lower thick and upper thin"

A Firemans Opinion.

Th,re is nobody or organization pf
men in Bryan in a position to better
understand and appreciate the water
conditions than the firemen. We are
an organization for the protection of
property, home and life. Our enemy is
fire. and our weapon of defense is water
feel with confidence and some degree
OF pride, that insofar as personal
bravery and determination go. there
are men in our company capable of
standing the severest test, yet the
bravest and best have been known to
retreat when the water failed to come.
The tax payers of the city, many of
them, are paying today for protection
they do not get, because the water
company does not furnish the water
and the old system of water mains
Is so limited that a fire can not be
reached and handled successfully
should it occur any great distance
from Main street. The last fire rlug
on north Main St is at the corner OF
Palermos' store south of Parkers' gill.
TO the south the last plug is at the
n1ih corner of the old brick ware
house To the west so far as ] re-
member, there are only three plugs
Masonic hall, Mrs. Cars and Sam
Wilson's residences. all within two
blocks OF Main St The east side is
very little bettr protected; the last
plug to the northeast being at DR.. Cav
tits. Hence there is much property
absolutely without protection. yet
these people pay the same percentage
for fire protection as the merchant
on Main st. pays. | am advised tn
under the present contract that the
City has with the Water company, it
would cost beyond reason to extend
the large mains TO any extent; so
there you are"
Bryan has now an insurance rating
OF End class. with the threat hanging
over us OF a reduction to Bird class,
which If done, would mean an increase
in cost of insurance 20 per cent, which
would very soon cost the citizens more
than the proposed bond issue calls for
The only solution, as see it, is for
the City to own and operate its own
water system. II would prove econom-
ical, efficient and pave the way to
greater things.
The City Council is composed of
some business men who, ] think, are
eminently capable of taking care of
the situation. vote to give them a

Shipped Car of Cattle.

Buchanan & Cloud shipped another
car of fat cattle to the Fl. Worn mar
ket yesterday. These gentlemen are
building up an extensive business
through their feeding pens. and are
making a market for the farmers hogs
and cattle every day in the year. 1t
cannot help but prove to be good
thing for the county at large, by en-
Couraging the farmers to grow more
live stock. II the farmers know they
can dispose of their stun any day In
the year they will not hesitate to 90
more extensively in the business. The
lack of market has always been a
drawback TO this very profitable in
dustry. A few hogs or a yearling or
two to sell occasionally helps out won
derfully. and there are few farmers
but what can arrange TO make this
addition to the products of their farm.
II Is worth the thought and effort
necessary 10 do it.
