KINGSLEY TREATS OF
DIE MEISTERSINGER'
SECOND WAGNERIAN RECITAL
DRAWS GOOD HOUSE
Lecturer Reviews One Hundred Years
of Grand Opera, Accompanying
Comments with Brief
Piano Numbers

Increased attendance and intense in
terest by the audience shows that the
opera recitals of Bruce Gordon Kings
ley have caught public favor. Last
evening at Symphony hall the subject
was Wagner's celebrated "Die Meister-
singer" and was prefaced by a short
talk on the last one hundred years of
grand opera and the effect produced
by the Wagner operas. These remarks
were interspersed with short piano
numbers illustrating the motif of the
operate compositions.
Mr.. Kingsley at the piano also rem
dered complete ''The Meistersinger
Overture and 1.-THE Flower Garland
Chorus both in most excellent man
ner. The principal vocal numbers were
given by a quartet composed Of Miss
Rose Zobelein, soprano; Mrs. Robert
Adams, contralto Ellis Rhodes, tenor,
and Francis Chapman, basso.
The numbers when to Thee Our
Savior Went" and the Sachs choral
number deserve special mention.
"The Prize Song was given by Mr..
Rhodes and was the gem of the even
ing. "Pogner's Address was rendered
by Mr.. MonetZ, and "Beckmesser S
Serenade" received careful considera-
ton by Mr.. Chapman.
Other piano numbers worthy Of men
ton were 1.-THE Summer Night Re-
frain'' and "The Dance Of the Appren-
tees The dramatic portion Of the
opera was discussed from the stand
point Of the scenic investiture and the
dramatic action as given at the Met
ropolitan opera house. This added
much to the enjoyment of the evening.
The combination of lecture, vocal and
instrumental numbers gives an auditor
a concise and complete idea Of the
Wagner composition.
Next Sunday evening the subject
will be Tristan and Isolde" The solo,
lists will be Mrs. Helen Newcombe Hoff,
Ellis Rhodes and Miss Helen Golf.
Special piano numbers will be rem
dered.

JUMPS FROM WINDOW TO
ESCAPE FANCIED ARREST
Receivers from Spree Only to Become
Victim of HaIucination That
Officers Are Seeking
His Life

Laboring under the delusion that he
was being pursued by detectives for an
imaginary murder, Joe Meier, 40 years
old, a ranch hand, leaped from the
third story window of his room at the
Santa Rosa house, Fourth and San
Pedro stretes, early yesterday and es-
capped with a sprained right ankle and
a slight shock. His loud cries brought
assistance and he was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital. On his arrival there
he became violent and it was necessary
to strap him to a bed.
Meier has been working on an orange
ranch near Porterville up to three
weeks ago. Since that time he has
been in Los Angeles. Four days ago he
went on a spree, and since his recov-
cry from that he has had the hallu-
cination that he is being pursued by
officers for an imaginary crime.
''They took my clothes and shoes
from my room,'' said Meier, so that /
could not escape. Then they tried to
get into my room to capture me. /
heard them coming, and as 1 would
rather die in an attempt to escape than
be killed by them / jumped from the
window"

FOR EDUCATORS
WANT FAV0RITE TEACHERS TO
GO TO SEATTLE
TOTALS IN CONTEST SHOW MANY
CHANGES
Orange County Enthuses Over Its
Candidates for Honors in The
HeraIdrs Recreation Trip
for Young Women

AS bargain week in The Herald's ed
ucatiOnal contest ends tonight all
friends of teachers must put forth their
best efforts today to get ballots for
their fayorites.
Friends OF Orange county teachers
during the past week have exerted spe-
cial efforts in connection with bargain
week to get a big vote for their choice
of educators in The Heralds contest for
the trips to the Seattle Yukon Pacific
exposition.
AS a result the vote of the county of
sweets and beets shows a decided
change.
Persons living outside the county seat
seem determined the laurelS shall not
go to the biggest city without a hard
hight, consequently they are working
assiduously to bring the banne4 vote to
some OF the younger teachers in Ana
helm and Orange city.
AS no one knows what a day or a
night will do in the way of changing
results, the contest is uncertain, and no
one should become discouraged because
one contestants vote is low and anoth-
ers high. An annual subscription is a
potent factor in changing the leader
ship.
The trip with it's two weeks of sight~
seeing and pleasure means much to the
winners.
Educational Value Great
The educational value Of the exposi-
ton will be great. AS its name implies,
1t was designed to exploit resources Of
the United States and Canada that were
acquired when these young countries
stretched their spheres of influence and
pushed their frontier lines to some of
the few remaining virgin fields of trade
and commerce.
If the visitor to the fair seeks infor-
nation regarding Alaska he can find
out everything there is to learn about
1t by few hours study in the Alaska
building. Every feature of that great
north country will be exploited, from
working models of the mines that send
their millions in gold to the outer coun-
try to the little flower that lifts it's head
to greet the midnight sun.
From that great part of Alaska that
reaches into the tempered zone of the
Pacific current to the ice fields that
lose themselves in the barren wastes of
the top of the world, will come men
and material to tell the story Of the
land of gold.
Hawaii, too, and the Philippines will
tell their stories. Their natives will
come to give demonstrations Of their
handicraft.
Canada will exploit that part of her
great empire that pushes between the
severed portions of the United States
on this continent

 Peabody, however, was thinking quickly. He was never beaten until .hc last vote was counted OH a roll aall. He knew that, no matter how ap- parently insurmOuntable an opposition was, a way to overcome it might often be found by. the man who exercises strong self control and a trained brain.
