his sister. Mrs. Benjamin Fessenden, were
at his bedside.

PLAN FOR OPERA TICKETS
Management 1nvents a Scheme
TO Thwart Spectators.

A new plan TO prevent seats from faIilns
into the hands Of ticket spectators is to
be tried at the Metropolitan Opera House
for the first performance Of Puccini's new
OPERA The Girl OF the Golden West on
Saturday evening The plan originated with
John Brown. the business controller of the
opera company, and Earle Lewis, the treas
urer.
Each purchaser OF a seat for the per
Torrance will be asked for his name He
will not get q ticket. but he will be told
70 give his name at one of the four en-
frances eff the opera house on the evening
of the performance and that when he does
SO the eaternan Will hand him his ticket IN
On envelope. He must then pass directly
into the house that he will have 10
chance OF selling the ticket on the sidewalk
Mr. Brown. in discussing the plan yester-
day said that the spectators had raised
f,,nd of $4,000 expressly for the initial
,e-for-nance Of The Girl OF the Golden
west and that the opera company was
determined TO prevent tickets from falling
into their hands
We intend TO protect tie public said
NJ F.-ov-n The doors Will be opened at
e.s5 o'clock. and We hope in order to expe-
l7ite matters that the public will arrive as
early as possible. The new plan is a little
more complicated than the usual way. but
we feel that its beneficial results viii be
worth the trouble.
of course, the subscription seats for this
performance have already been sent out,
but so far we have heard Of only two Of
these getting into the hands Of spectators
They ara demanding SO each for these TWO
seats. Luckily we know the person who
was responsible for these tickets falling into
the hands Of specuIa tors

forty years an educator in the public

FAVORS SIMPLE HARMONIES
Humperdinck Thinks German
Music Will Take Middle Ground.

Engelbert Humperdinck the German
composer. who arrived yesterday on the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse 10 superintend
the production OF his new opera, 'K6nigs-
kinder said that he had finished the in
cidental music TO Maeterlinck's Blue Bird
and that it would be played at a perform
ance of the play in Berlin about Christmas
time
Il love the simple. naive folk tales and
am no adnlirer of blood and murder said
Mr.. Humperdinck. II even hated to burn
the Witch in 'Hasel und Gretel' Music in
Germany to-day has two tendencies. a radi-
cal and reactionary one. think middle
ground will be found that in the end will
prevail. Richard Strauss in his latest
opera, The Rose Cavalier, has returned TO
melody and simple harmonies and in the
future I believe that he will have a large
following.
''As TO my own opera, 'K0nigskinder,'
which will have its first production shortly
at the Metropolitan. those who have heard
the incidental music 10 the play will be
able TO follow the opera. The main themes
are the same. ! am now at work on d

An amusing incident occurred during M.
Humperdinck's interview. Enrico Caruso.
who might have been famous as caTica-
turist had he not become a tenor. heard OF
the projected interview and secreted him
self behind some Of the newspap apermen. He
had armed himself with a pad and a pen
ell, and while Mr.. HuInperdinck was talk
ing the tenor drew a number of sketches
of the composer. Finally some one asked
the composer if he had ever heard Caruso
sing.
yes. indeed replied Mr.. Humperdinck
er+h,siasticaIIy "A beautiful voice"
Though the composer spoke III German.
Mr. Caruso heard him, and broad smile

and the next moment Mr.. Humperdinck,

arms affectionateIy around the tenor.

mention OF these lakes. From this il will
be seen that there is nothing new under the
