In reply to hypothetical questions re-
garding the convulsions of Col. Thomas
H, Cnrisman and Margaret Swope, DR..

toms. said the witness.
Judging from his investigation of
the tragedies. said the Psychologist. he
did not believe Colonel Swope died
from apOpleXy or uraemic poisoning, or

duced what was purporTed to be strych-

several novel features for which negotia-

competent theatrical judges that this
form of outdoor amusements at night on
the league baseball grounds will prove

STORIES OF THE OPERAS.
"II TrOvatore."

Most Of the story of II Trovatore" is
preliminary to the action. and the opera
itself is really a series Of melodramatic
pictures in sequence to the history Of
what has transpired before.
The old Count di Luna. now deceased.
had two sons. One day their nurse dis
covered a gypsy woman in the chamber
near the cradle of the younger. Supersti-
tion accredited gypsies with malevolent
powers. and as the child's health began
Ia fail soon after, the woman was sus-
pected Of witchcraft and burned alive.
Her daughter with her own child in
her arms. witnesses the execution, and
out Of revenge kidnaps the counts
younger son. rushes with him to the
stake. but being driven mad by the sight
hurls her own child into the flames in
stead Of the son OF di Luna. Realizing
her terrible error she keeps the counts
child as some partial consolation for her
loss. and brings him up as Manrico, the
troubador.
ManricO, by his singing. wins the heart
Of Leonora. Countess Of Sergaste, and
as the young Count di Luna is already
a suitor for LeonOra. the two brothers.
unknown to each other, are rivals, Azu-
cena. foster mother Of Manrico, sees in
this rivalry a chance for revenge. She
tells him part of his history. Meanwhile,
I,eonora, to whom Manrico is reported
dead. is about 10 take the veil. and he
rushes away TO save her. The count ar
rives at the convent for the same pur-
pose. but Just as he meets Leonora, Man
rico appears and is chosen as the favored
lover.
The counts soldiers, however. capture
Azucena, and when di Luna hears that
his successful rival is the gypsy's son he
condemns her TO the stake. Manrico
tries 10 save her. but he. too. is taken
and sentenced to be beheaded. Leonora
offers herself 10 the count as the price Of
freedom for the captives; but determined
to remain true to her lover, takes poison.
She hastens to Manrico in prison. an
nouncinE that he is TO be set free. Too
late he sees how dearly she has paid for
e when, after sweet assurance of love
and fidelity. she sinks dead at his feet.
The count. realizing that he has been de-
ceived. orders Manrico's execution. He is
led away. and in a most dramatic climax
Azucena leads him to the scene OF the
execution. and as the AK falls she Kisses
into the counts ear that he has murdered
his long-sought brother.

A London interviewer gives this pen
picture Of Maurice Maeterlinck: For an
hour the greatest OF our younger Euro
pean masters. the poet and philosopher
who has won the heart and stirred the in
tellect OF worldwide audience, talked
upon many subjects with that simplicity
and modesty and ease which are charac-
teristic of all distinguished minds. He is
a man who never talks for effect. never
seeks 10 create an impression. In his
strong sturdy Flemish features there is
a solidity which disdains any kind of
posing Out Of his sympathetic. kindly
eyes there shines perfect sincerity. Like
all true mystics, he is straightforward
and direct Of speech. Like all great
artists. he much prefers letting his work
speak for him TO talking about himself.
