TO FILE J.F. DRYDEN'S WILL
Document May Be offered for
Probate This Week.

II is expected that the will OF John F.
Dryden. president Of the Prudential Life
Insurance Company. will be offered for
probate this week in Newark, as the law
provides that this may be done any time
after ten days have elapsed since the death
of the maker OF A will.
The will. it is said, was executed only &
short time before Mr.. Dryden's death. The
value Of the estate is only guesswork' but
It is said by some close friends OF the for
mer Senator TO be approximately $4,000
He was a heavy stockholder in the Fidelity
Trust Company and the Union National
Bank.
Mr.. Dryden's successor as president OF
the Prudential Will probably not be elected
until the annual meeting Of the company
in January. Undoubtedly Forrest r. Dry
den will succeed his father 10 the presi-
dency He is now first vice-president.

Tragedy" at the Opera.
Paris. November u.

Paris. November 81.

~ NJ. Camille Saint-Saens on the lines
~ the late Louis Gallet's poem, was pro-
6-.a5 for the first time in Paris last
.,,b- a+ the National Academy Of Music.
The French critics have now confirmed
the success already obtained at Monte
Carlo. where "Dejanire" was brought out
last March. The fuling feature Of De
ssrjre" is the superb, almost sublime de-
,a,ouynent Of the chorus. The leading
character Of this work is not the jealous
oueen Deianira. nor her husband, Her
cr'es. nor the delicious maiden lola, with
whom Hercules is I'm love; nor the de-
voted friend Of Hercules. Philoctetus'

There is much i'm common between

The technical resources of the author Of

Impression that he lacks dramatic spon-

uiration 70 the classic perfection Of his
music. but are not thrilled. They DO not
"vibrate" when Hercules. in the second

pr.t.nder 70 Bulgarian Throne.

King Ferdinand Of Bulgaria has lately
becoue involved I'm a very disagreeable at-
fair. which has created much bad blood
against him. not only among his subjects,
but also amonS several Of the reigning
houses Of Europe Il may be recalled that
his predecessor on the throne at Sofia,
nauelv. Prince Alexander Of Battenoerg,
left a son and a daughter by HIS marriage
with the Darmstadt actress Johanna Leis-
niger. whom he married i'm such an oX-
rraordiuarv fashion on the very eve Of the
date appointed for his wedding al Windsor
Castle 10 the Kaisers sister Victoria OF
Prussia. now the wife Of Prince Adolf Of
Schaumburg-Lipp This son, who bears
the Christian name Of Assem-. attained his
majority i'm January last, and bears the
title Of Count Hartenau. which his father
secured from the late Grand Duke Of lieSse
when he abandoned the style and name n
Prince Of BattenberE on marrying Nile.
Iseizinger. whose parents were the valet and
cook of a dear old general on the retired
list Of the Austrian arny..making his home
at Fressburg. where she was born.
Whereas. King Ferdinand. in spite Of all
that he has done for Bulgaria by means Of
statecraft. by CIeverness Of administration
and by vast sacrifices Of his own personal
fortune and that of his mother the late
Princess Clementine Of Coburg, has never
been able I'm his near quarter Of a century
Of reign to secure any hold on the affec-
tions Of his subjects who alternately ridi-
cule mis- foibles or donOmce his poliucies,
the memory Of Prince Alexander Of Batten-
berg who died as Count Hartenau and as
major general in command Of the 11th In
fantrv Brigade Of the Austrian army at
Gratz. is still cherished in the hearts OF the
Bulgarian people who can never forget that
he not only fought for their liberation from
Turkey I'm the ranks Of the Russian army
in 1871 but that he also reigned over them
for the first eight years Of their indepen-
dence and in 1855 led their army TO brill
liant victory iu the battle Of Slivnitza, and
in the subsequent engagements, near the
lDragoman and Zaribrod passes inflicted
overwhelming defeat upon the Seryians and
forced King Milan 10 flight
The Bulgarians all know, too, that Il Rus
sia forced him TO abdicate it was because he
had resented Muscorite interference i'm the
administration Of Bulgaria as calculated 70
/ impair her independence. and one Of the
very first things which the members Of the
Sobranje AZ Sofia did after the election Of
/ Prince Ferdinand OF Coburg TO the throne
was 10 vote unanimously an annuity Of So
( 600 q year for life 10 their former ruler.
