HAMMERSTEIN OUT
OF GRAND OPERA
ImpreSSariO Finds 1t Bad for
Health and Fortune.

New York. April 27-After a four-years
struggle that has cost him all his time.
some Of his health. and certainly a large
share Of his fortune, Oscar Hammerstein
has gone out Of the grand opera business
for good. II took a very bad operatic
year TO do the job. but no one man can
stand up against the opera deficit in its
present-day form.
Even the millionaire directors OF the
Metropolitan Opera arc Jared by the
yawning difference between outlay and
receipts into which they are forced to
peer every spring. SO II IS wonder
that Oscar was able 20 stay in the game
SO long
The full significance Of the transaction
becomes plain only when it is known that
Mr. Stotsoury, who has been the most
generous supporter Of Mr.. Hammerstein's
Philadelphia enterprise has been added
TO the board of directors Of the Metro
politan Opera Company. and that the fu-
ture Philadelphia performances OF the
Metropolitan Opera Company will be
given In the Philadelphia Opera House.
bAAAN ~ AAalillllFl HNtlll. Alllte years ago.
Besides the fourteen performances given
there by the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, there will be a ten weeks season
by the company from the Chicago Opera
House, which will be opened next season
f. only ten weeks. and not twenty, as
H.. .nally planned
Acquires Full Control.
So this means that the Metropolitan
Opera Compar with its interests in
Philadelphia. Boston. and Chicago. has
absorbed the Manhattan Opera House.
and incidentally wiped its battling rival.
Oscar Hammerstein. of the operate map.
The Metropolitan Opera Company ac-
Quires not only the scenery and costumes
used at the Philadelphia Opera House
here. but it acquires the rights 70
Louise, "Pelleas ct Melisande.' ' .'Thais. 90
and all the composers rights to the
French operas. on which it has cast en-
vious glances ever since the operas were
introduced here by Hammerstein.
Then, some Of the most popular Of the
Hammerstein singers have been ACQUIRED
by the company, which, under the name
OF Andreas Dippel. is to sing in Chicago
and Philadelphia. Among these are
Maurice Renaud. Charles Dalmores.
Luisa Tetrazzini, and some of the prin-
ci2al artists who have appeared al the
Manhattan Opera House. They will ap-
pear chiefly in Philadelphia and Chicago.
although it IS by no means certain that
they will not also sing at the MetropoH-
tan Opera House from time to time.

ALL TO SHARE IN PROFITS.
New Idea introduced in New York
Real Estate Office.

Will real estate officers grow into the
custom of conducting their business on
shares, SO that even the smallest clerks
may become partners?
Personally I believe the time is not
far distant when all real estate Offices
doing a business of large volume will
handle their organization along co-opera-
tive lines and permit all employees to
share I'm the profits of the Office said a
New York broker. zone reason for this
is the fact that the renting men more
than all others are directly responsible
for the success of any firm.
Our Office is now organized along CO.
operative lines We believe we pay our
renting men as well as our other en-
plOyes salaries consistent with their earn
ing capacity, and, in addition, every one
in our Office, including our office boys,
porters, sign man, stenographers. book
keepers and accountants, will receive a
part of our profits. Under this co-opera-
tive arrangement our renting men will
receive that proportion of our profits to
which their services entitle them. and
payments will be made in proportion to
the success of their Efforts

WE'D AT RAPID GAIT.
Ceremony Performed in Automobile
Going Sixty Miles an Hour

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. November 10
Dashing at sixty miles an hour along the
Riverside boulevard. Miss Ella William
son, teacher. and Ervie Rudd, chauffeur,
were married by the Rev. j. A. Lewis,
The preacher stood on the steps of the
forty-horsepower touring car and the
bridegroom guided the machine with his
left hand while he joined hands with the
bride. The words Of the ceremony were
punctuated by bumps. Two golf instruc-
tors of the Riverside Club were obtained
by Mr.. Lewis as witnesses. as the cere-
mony had to be finished within half an
hour. that the wedding party might take
train.
Rudd said the automobile marriage ride
was entirely original. He denied that
they were exceeding the speed limit
1T was just little idea of our own. -
he declared I'VE thought it all out long
ago.
Miss Williamson had been teaching
school at Fortville since September. and
has not resigned her position since the
wedding. Her sister declared the mar
riage took place with the full consent of
her parents. She said Mrs. Rudd, pretty
and of the brunette type, had full bridal
outfit. The bridegroom was in a business
suit.

PLAN TO SAVE MONITOR.
Vessel Wrecked by Explosive to B,
Floate6 by Government.

The question of the salvage of the
United States monitor Puritan, which lies
in Hampton roads in sunken condition
as result of the experiments with nitro
glycerin gelatine, is now engaging the at
tention of the Navy Department. Rear
Admiral William A. Marshall. command
ant of the Norfolk navy yard, has con-
ferred with Acting Secretary Winthrop
and other officials of the Navy Depart-
ment on the subject. 1t will be necessary
10 pump the water out of the monitor
before she can be floated and taken to the
dry dock at Norfolk. 1t is not believed.
however, that the Norfolk yard has
pumps of sufficient power to lift the YES
sci and the question of seeking them else
where is now under consideration
Mr.. Winthrop denied the report that
the Navy Department was dissatisfied
with the manner i'm which Admiral Mar
shall had handled the situation. II was
impossible to move the vessel until she
had been relieved of the water she held
and the matter had been handled to the
entire satisfaction of the department, he

LARGE GROUNDS WILL
SURROUND NEW HOME
Expected That Robert McC0r'
mick Will Build Dwelling
on Spacious Site.

1t is understood that Robert McCor-
mick. who owns the eastern end of the
square on the south side OF MaSSachu-
sets avenue just west Of Rock creek.
has had plans prepared for a dwelling
to be erected there for his own use. Mr..
Mccormick has owned this building site
for some time, having acquired 1t shortly
after he sold the land on the south side
Of Massachusetts, avenue where the resi-
dence of Alexander Stewart. now stands.
II is of unusual size for residence
site as such things go in this city, as it
has frontage of over 300 feet on Mas
sachusetts avenue. with a broad extent
on w street. which lies to the south. 1t
is stated the house is to be placed so as
to have ample space about it, which will
be used for lawns and a flower garden.
In this particular it will harmoniZe with
the method which is to be followed in
the development of the balance of the
square, which extends to the circular
road to the west, bounding the grounds
of the Naval Observatory.
This land is in charge of RI. ROzier
Dulany. and during the past season he
las had il graded, but instead of maxim g
the conventional division of the land into
building lots, or. rather, plotting it off
into building sites of the usual size. he
has kept it in parcels of 100 feet front.
especially that on Massachusetts avenue,
while there is a large building lot in the
center which Will be elevated and COM
mand an extensive view.
1T is expected, with this provision for
large building lots and with the restric-
tons that will prevent the erection of
apartment houses or more than one
house on a lot. that residences of the
larger type will be erected. and that
those who want large homes will he
encouraged to consider that ample
grounds are a requisite-a detail in house
planning which has been somewhat neg
1ected in this city. where the tendency
has often been shown to squeeze large
houses on small lots
