ADJUSTMENTS
"Salnme"

A highly creditable performance of
Massenet's "Salome" was given at the
] Jefferson theatre last night by a. grand
opera company headed by Joseph +.
Sheehan. The opera was sung in Eng
lish and while the company is not half
as large as advertised. the opera is very
we'll staged, affording some striking
pictorial effects of brilliant coloring In
seven scenes and the performance de-
serves unstinted praise. The vocal
strength of the company is quite up to
the grand opera standard and the prin-
cipals are well equipped, although def.
cient at times in histrionsm.
Mr. Sheehan Is himself tenor of
note and standing in the musical world.
He sang the role of John the Baptist
and acquitted himself In most able
manner. His voice Is robust yet en-
tirely flexible and under excellent con.
troll. Many Antoinette LIE Brun as Sa-
lone sang and acted we'll. Charles
Swickard as Herod. Harold J. Gels as
Phanus as Phanuea. Lawrence Wallace
as Vitellius and Mile. Lydia Sturtevant
as Herodias were others in the cast
who deserve favorable mention.
Mile. Sophia Benucci introduced some
dances of the oriental sort. incident to
the story of the opera, but did not pres
ent the usual "Salome" dance in which
the head of John the Baptist Is used.
Miss Benuccf is very unusual dancer,
sinuous and supple to a startling de-
gree. but there is nothing at all often
sive In her dancing.
The performance last night was con-
scientiously done, both by the princi-
pals and the chorus, and was listened
to with appreciation by an audience, In
which there were doubtless a large
number of persons who We're lured to
the theatre by the spell Of the "Salome''
dance.
There will be a matinee this after
noon and performance tonight, which
will end the engagement.

die aged nosro, Wash Brown. was found
dead In the railroad cut at the Railroad

that the negro had been murdered and

by some that he was known to have some
money on his person last night. When
found there was no money in his pockets.
Another theory is that he fell from the

There are only two classes, those de-

Jesus Christ came to the world to

no use to you if the theme of Christ

Antioch church, 10 miles north of Green's

this convention may make the necessary
legal security to procure funds for the

were made nearly century ago the title

The Philippine Question.
These are all matters of vital do
mestic concern, and besides them,
outside the charmed circle Of our own
national life which our affections
command us, as well as our con-
sciences. there stand out our obliga-
tons toward our territories over sea
Here we are trustees. Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippines. are ours, in
deed, but not ours to do what we
please with. Such territories. once re-
garded as mere possessions, are no
longer to be selfishly exploited; they
are part of the domain of public con-
science and of serviceable and en-
iightened craftsmanship. We must
administer them for the people who
live in them and with the same sense
of responsibility to them as toward
our own people in our domestic af-
fairs. No doubt We shall successfully
bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian
Islands to ourselves by ties Of justice
and interest and affection. but the
performance Of our duty toward the
Philippines is a more difficult and de-
batable matter. We can satisfy the
obligations Of generous justice toward
the people Of Porto Rico by giving
them ample and familiar rights and
privileges accorded our own citizens
In our own territories and our obli.
cations toward the people OF Hawaii
by perfecting the provisions for self
government already granted them.
but in the Philippines We must go
further. We must hold steadily In
view their ultimate independence and
We must move toward the time Of
that independence as steadily as the
way can be cleared and the founda-
tions thoughtfully and permanently
laid.
