MUSIC
"Le Dome Curiose" Repeated.

SIgnor WOlf-Ferraris opera &c Donne
Curiose" had It's first repetition at the
metropolitan Opera House yesterday aIter-
noon. and tho composer was on hand to
hear II, to witness the enjoyment which II
gave to a typical Saturday matinee audi
euce. to he acclaimed as few composers
have been at our opera, ard. II his own
word is to be taken for II. 10 realize for
the first time the potentialities of his own
creation. Fully dozen times was ne called
before the curtain and each tmc the glad
some demonstration grew. As for the CON-
poser. the frank and unaffected happiness
which shone from his face and his obvious
delight In the achievement Of the perform
ers and his gratitude toward them, es-
pecially toward Signor Toscanini. with
whom he tried to share his extraordinary
honors. deserve to be set down as incidents
connected with memorable occasion. Az
ter the second act he said TO a reporter
of The Tribune: II never realized what
was in my work until to-day, when heard
1t for the first time I'm Italian and under
the direction Of Signor Toscanini. l am
too happy for Words
1t is easy TO understand Signor Wolf
Ferrarfs enthusiasm. His music bubbles
over with the kind OF humor in music
which can only find complete expression
when the original text is used. In this It
is like its most pervasive model. Mozart 9
''Nozze d Figaro" Were not such excel
lent and experienced artists employed in its
performance at the Metropolitan. and had
they not all enjoyed the inspiration which
goes out from Sgnor Toscanini's direc-
grl,, oIp -
singers trained I'm the school OF opera buffa
could do justice to the work. But Signor
Toscanini has developed so extraordinary
an ensemble out of widely differing ele-
ments that there can be as little desire to
praise an Individual at the expense Of the
rest as to find fault with a detail in any
single performance. When Miss Farrar
and Mr.. Jadlowker ravish the ears of the
listeners with their exquisitely tender song
in the second act Miss Alten, Miss Maui
bourg. Signor Pini-Corsi and their assocl-
ates fascinate by their brilliant humor In
action and dialogue. II is the fate OF Sehor
Segurola TO be compelled to labor most
strenuously 10 bring the part of Arlecchino
home to the understanding and sympathy
of the audience because Of the anomalous
attitude in which he is placed as the un-
disguised survival of one of the old masks
which when Gozzi and Goldoni wrote were
still called into reQuisition to establish
personal note between Venetian life and
the artistic stage But with all the spirit
and skill of the people on the stage, with
all the increased animation which came
, into yesterdays performance as a natural
result of the composers presence and hap
piness, the blood that sparkled most and
was ruddest was that which Signor Tosca-
mini sent coursing through the orchestra
which was madly. riotously hilarious one
moment, exquisitely tender the next and
then so effervescent. scintillant and bub-
bling that speech and action which hoated
on It could never for a moment grow slug

SUNDAYS NEW.YoRk TRIBUNE
Mailed anywhere in the United States
for $3.50 a year.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-04

In the February American Magazine there is the first of new series of articles
 on "The Man in the Cage" It is an ac- l count of the prisons of America-what the
 prisoners do and how the state in most cases fails to handle them with wisdom
 The following is an interesting extract: "The first shock of arrest and impris-
 onment Is, to the first offender the great crisis of his life. He realizes, suddenly
 and wildly, that tho state is not merely a political abstraction out of a long for | gotten school book, but thing alive | armed with jaw and claw. The effect of this is overwhelming. There lives no hu-
 man animal more penitent and plastic
 than the first offender on his first day in
 prison. On that day, of all days, the state
 can mold him easily to it's civic needs. Turn him over to a man who believes in
 the bottom good in him. teach him a trade whereby he may learn to support himself honestly when released; give him a share 1 in his earnings so that he may, even though in prison, support his innocent wife and helpless children-or, if he is | alone, save a bit of capital against that | blackest day in his whole life, the dis tant day Of liberation; in other words, give him work and hope. the two things which all men need in order to live, and you will have set him on the road to citi-
 Henshp. Deprive him of work and hope
 and you will as surely have set him on | the road to criminality.
 | "This is so obvious a truth that one
 would expect it to be the very cornerstone | of our penal system. But the melancholy
 fact is that there are not 10 prisons in
 the country today which teach the pris-
 oner useful trade, and scarcely one, so
 far as I know. which permits him to make any reasonably decent provision for his
 dependent family; and in nearly half of
 the states Of the union he is sold to a
 private trader, called a prison contractor,
 for an average of not much more than 50 cents a day. At best the contractor is
 business man; at worst, a merciless
 shaver. He has absolutely no interest,
 human or other, in the prisoner; and the
 prisoner has no rights which he need re- | spect
 "Ths is the heart of the prison problem
 as it confronts us in America today"

Giant Works in New York

This is year of great construction. The opening of the Key West railroad and of another tube under the North river at New York has been followed by the completion of the tunnel un- der the Hudson river near West Point. This tunnel is part of new water supply for New York city, and the cost of the new work will be well nigh half of the cost of the Panama canal. The source of the new water supply as in the Catskill mountain region ly- ing west of the Hudson river, and the water impounded by a great dam in the mountains had to be carried across the river. The bore under the river has been completed in years time, and in about two years more the greatest water supply in the world will be completed.
 The $375, 100000 to be expended on the Panama canal will in fact be well nigh duplicated in two great works in New York state-the new water supply of New York city and the barge canal of New York state, ex- tending from New York to Buffalo on the preat lakes state that con- tain 9,113,279 people who levy trib- ute upon all the rest of the country has few financial limitations, even if the big city does owe more money than the national government.

LOVE FOR HIS DAUGHTER

From the Westminster Gazette.
 Mr. Labouchere was a bitter, sleepless foe to cruelty to women and children. The world knows some of the abuses he cor reeted, but there are scores of others which have never come before the public eye where children and women have been rescued from torture, from vice and from deception
 The explanation of this side of his char acter would at one time have been reached if Iabby could have been seen patiently rowing q boat on the Thames at Twicll- cnham and chatting easily and consider ately with a little girl whose piercing black eyes and expression and even speech were such a startling reproduction of hls own, and whose tiny face fore positively weird resemblance 10 that or the portrait of Labby's handsome mother which then hung in his dining room. The softesi spot in Labbys heart-the most effec. tive inspiration of most of his war or wrong and cruelty-was his frank. sim pie. pathetic affection for his little daugh- ter who, now a woman grown, was pres ent with him at his death.
