Imnortnnce of the Librette
Brander Matthews in Munsey's.

BranQer matthew's III MuilSSy ..
The ordinary operagoer is likely to
treat the libretto with calm contempt.
He Is prone to assert that nobody cares
about the words, and he does not reflect
that behind and beneath the words is
the supporting structure OF the story.
After all. an opera is a play, 1t Is a mu-
sic-drama, and the plot is as important
In play the words of which are to be
sung as in a play the words of which
are to be spoken.
1t is true, of course, that in an opera
the words may not be heard distinctly.
and perhaps they need not be seized
with certainty, since the emotion they
set forth is more amply conveyed by the
music. But the musician cannot express
emotion musically unless there is emo
ton for him to express, unless he has
characters immeshed In series of situ-
ations which evoke vivid and contrast
ing sentiments for him to translate into
music. As the music-drama Is drama,
IL must obey the lows OF the drama:
1t must represent a conflict of contend
ing desires; 1t must be carried on by
characters firm of purpose and resolute
in achieving their several aims. These
characters must be sharply Individual
lied and boldly contrasted, and the plot
in which they take part must be at once
strong and simple, calling for an elabo-
rate explanation and moving forward
steadily and irresistibily. 1t must have
a lyric aspect, lending itself naturally
to song; and It ought also to afford OPP
portunity for the spectacular effects ap-
propriate to the large stage of the opera
house

upon him.
There, Judge, that's what I did," said

AM ERICANS HAVE
VERY GOOD TIME

London, December 24.-(Special.) y
The officers and men of the American
battleship fleet are having the time
granted to- every possible man and
fully 1000 men are ashore for Christ
mas In England and as many more in
France; most of them are In London
or Paris. The louisiana, Kansas, South
Carolina and New Hampshire are off
Weymouth. The Virginia, the Geor
gia, the Nebraska and Rhode Island
are at Gravesend. The rest of the
American warships are at Cherbourg
ana Brest. The men have been granted
leave of absence till Tuesday and the
officers until Wednesday. The divisions
in British waters will leave Thursday
and join the other divisions off Best
on Friday. The combined squadron will
sail for Cuba. The difficulty of diff
ferences of language in France has
made friendship making there slow but
the BONN omie of the American sailors
insured a cordial Christmas hospital
ity.
In England most of the men made
friends who invited them to partake
Of Christmas dinner on Sunday. The
majority fraternized with the British
soldiers or sailors and will spend
Christmas either in barracks or private
homes.
Most of the men on leave have found
their way to London. They were seen
on Christmas eve in every principal
thoroughfare usually with British sol
diers or sailors. The World corres-
pondent stopped a group of New Hamp
shire men with British packets upon
the Strand and asked them If they were
enjoying themselves. They replied:
Its great. We are having the time
Of our lives"
Questioned as to their impressions
| of Christmas celebrations in England,
their spokesman said:
ITS all right, but we would rath-
er be home. We cannot tell why. We
arc thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Ev-
crybody we meet is trying to make US
feel as much at home as possible. Some
Christmas shows in the shops are very
fine. I guess it's because oul people
are there that we would rather be
home for Christmas"

FRUIT IN JAPAN
Very Little Formerly Grown, But Now
1t Is Even Exported

From the Japan Maya zine.
The use of fruits in Japan was until
recently limited to the upper classes
and the cultivation of fruit trees was
not carried on as at the present day.
though fruits growing wild in field or
forest were gathered and offered for
sale. A few fruit trees were grown by
househ olders in their home gardens for
private use, but little attention was
paid to their cultivation.
The principal cause for the slow de-
velopment of fruit culture in Japan APP
pears to have been the climate. The
climate being warm and moist, there Is
luxuriant growth of vegetation, pro-
ducing the exquisitely beautiful land
scapes for which Japan is so well
known, but on the other hand few ad-
vantages for fruit culture exist. In or
der to obtain satisfactory results, great
expenditure is necessary.
Fruits which have been cultivated
from ancient days extensively enough
to be grown In orchards or vineyards,
are oranges, pears. plums and grapes,
and great attention was paid to the
different varieties OF each, though the
plum was chiefly cultivated and priced
for its blossom and large plum gar
dens abound in Japan, valued for their
beauty and attractiveness during their
towering season, which Is in snowy
January.
Such trees as the persimmon, peach,
loquat ounce, Japanese apricot and
plum, Jujube and gilman are often
planted around the home or along the
footpaths In rich fields but these are
for the most part seedlings and no spe-
cial attention is paid to them. except

FIGHT FOR FORTUNE
LEFT BY MRS. EDDY
Heirs Are Planning to Enter
a Legal Contest
GRAVE CRISIS AHEAD
chusetts Governing Money Left
to Church IL the Basis for
the Contest

New York, December A-(special.)-
Mary Baker Glover Eddy, the founder of
Christian Science, has left as a legacy
to the cult she created the gravest crisis
In Its history.
She did this unknowingly, of course
when in her will she made the mother
church her residuary legatee and be-
queathed to 1t the bulk of her estate,
which conservative estimates tx at close
to 100000.
No doubt remains that the heirs of Mrs
Eddy, her son. George w. Glover, and her
adopted son, DR.. e. J.. Foster Eddy. have
reached a final decision to fight for pos
session of this fortune.
1t Is already certain that former United
States Senator William Il. Chandler and
other distinguished counsel representing
the heirs, have determined upon a line
of legal action which will raise unique
Issues and arouse international interest.
Mr.. Chandler today fatty refused to
make any statement and refused to affirm
or deny the accuracy of the report cir
culated as to his plan of campaign in
behalf Of the Eddy heirs.
But several other distinguished lawyers
have been consulted in the preparation
OF these plans and the information comes
from absolutely authoritative sources. Not
only will the will of Mrs. Eddy be at
tackled as Illegal under the statutory laws
of Massachusetts, but there Is every
promise Of a separate proceeding. which
will be directed against Christian Science
q nnf ofpak a.
policy.
The lawyers fer the Eddy heirs did moi
have far to look for their proposed at
tack upon Christian Science leaders will
They found in the revised law of Massa-
chusetts Of the year 1902 section OF
chapter 81. 1t reads:
1.-THE income of the gifts, grants, be-
quests and devises made to or for the
use of any one church shall not exceed
$1,000 year exclusive of the income OF
any parsonage land granted to it or fol-
the use of the ministry"
That Is all there is to 1t, a brief. plain
unclouded provision of law that had been
hidden away among the Massachusetts
statutes for more than half a century
but which were re-enecated eight years
ago.
Probably not more than a dozen per-
sons resident in the state of New York
knew of it's existence. Obviously 1t was
unknown to Mrs. Eddy and the advisers
who aided in the drawing of her will
which was executed only one short year
after the re-enactment of the statute
The heirs see in this law a sure legal
bar to the inheritance by the Christian
Science church of Mrs. Eddy's vast es-
tate.

This sum was exacted by a treasury Of
