While carefully avoiding the pitfali OF
comic opera to which Victor Herbert.
'Natoma" came so perilously near, he
fas produced work that at least must

path Tor English opera that may be
followed by himself and others to the
highest pinns,cle Of success.
A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE MAIN
PLOT OF THE STORY.
SO many years have passed since
Richard Mansfield presented the Rostand
drama here and made IL familiar to
playgoers that brief word about the
story may not be out of place. The
principal character. Cyrano de Bergerac
poet and soldier. philosopher and swag-
gerer gallant and hero. is cursed with
an enoriuUis nose. lie is in love with
his cousin Roxanne. u beauty and a VIII
but fears that his personal disngure-
ment will make hopeless the task OF
winning her. After a successful bout at
fence with one Of her obnoxious ad-
mirerA DE Guiche. he Is about to de-
clare his love to her. when she confides
In him. that she loves Christian, a new
recruit in his Gascony Cadets. Hence
forth he devotes himself to helping
Christi ms suit, prompts him what To
say and sing In a serenade OF her. gets
the pa T. married. and while or at tho
war writes Christians love letters for
him every day.
In IN end Christian discovers Cyranos :
love for Roxanne and that the latter
loves MIN only for the intellect which
Is Cyrano's. not his. lie gets himself
killed. and In battle that follows
Cyrano IL wounded. In the play, many
years elupse before the death of Cyrano
in the presence of Roxanne and the dis
closure OF their mutual love: but in the
opera MIR. Henderson brings about the
ending only a few hours after the battle.
Mr.. Gattl-t,asazza has mounted "Cy'
rsno" sumptuously and effectively. The
Interior of the theatre In the Hotel Dc
BourgoEne. Ragueneau's pastry shop. a
square In the old Marrais. Paris. and the
camp before Arras. and convent gar
den, the successive scenes, are well
painted and set. The costumes are rich
and tasteful and the bearing or the
! actors of old time courtliness. These
no doubt, had much to do In arousins
the interest OF last nights audience. al
they will with succeeding audiences, fol

LITTLE HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN
AND MUCH REMEMBERED.

Mr.. Damrosch. through his long asso-
ciat!on with the opera and concert
stage. is conversant with the works OF
most composers. "Cyrano" shows that
he has forgotten llttlo and remembered
much. In a recent Interview Mr.. DAM
rosch was quoted as saying that he was
no longer q h!dcbound adherent OF
Wagner: but the influence of the Master
still Affects him. No doubt the assmi-
lation OF haunting memories OF THE
Nibelungen Ring Is unconscious. as Is
that OF strains from the older COM
pOsers and of the moderns such as
Debussy and Puccini. The interrnezxo.
for which there was voAferous de-
mand for repetition. 10 which Mr.. Hertz
would not yield. cannot fail to make one
think OF the Meditation from M.issaiiet' $
"Tha!s." for instance. hut II there Is
ottle originality or spontaniety about
Mr. Damrosch's music. he has put to-
eether an admirable piece of Joiner
work--a bit of musical cabinet -making.
20 to speak-that Is highly to his credit.
The orchestration Is happy and pleas
ing. and strong enough without beng
obtruslve. What the music for the
singers lacks Il more lyric quality. A
few good. plain tunes would be well
come.
One thing, at least. Mr., Damrosch has
accomplished: lie has effaced the mn
he ppy memories OF Mr.. converse's The
Pine OF Desire" AMI OF Prof. Parker's
Mona" and OF Lord Howard De Wall
den's THE Children OF Don" which
MIR. Hammers;ein produced at his Lon

nrst public hearing last night at the
metropolitan Opera House before O
capacity audience that made the oc-
casion gala one. Not since the

the Golden West" has there been
shown such enthusiasm. There
were curtain calls too many TO count
a'ter every act, in one OF which Mr..
GattiCasazza was persuaded 10 ap-
pear-a very rare thing. There were
fnnumerablc flowers sent ND on the
stage, some In simple bouquets and
others In gorgeous set pieces that
drew exclamations of "Ah," from
the women all over the house. Fin.

One could not fail to be- reminded
OF the joyous nights at the Manhat.

BRYAN and RADISHES.

Secretary of State Bryan is early
riser. says the Washington Star. More
over he not only rises early, but he goes
out early. He mounts his saddle horse
many mornings at o'clock and even
earlier and hies himself out to the cool
lanes and shady bypaths of Rock Creek
Park, Soldiers Home and enviTons for Il
brisk canter in the delicious GOODNESS of
the day before the sun dries off the dew
and gets in its Scorching work. Punct-
uality being one of his virtues, he is al
ways back for breakfast.
On the way home, whether alone or in
company with some boon companion, the
secretary's fancy often turns lightly to
radiSheS-white radiSheS, not the little red
variety, but the long, crisp white ones.
Sometimes he stops at one of the nearby
markets to get supply of these faVoriteS
of his. More often he pulls his horse up
beside passing huckster wagon-indeed,
he seldom passes one of these vegetable
carts without hailing the truck vendc-
with the query:
ANY white Tadishes this morning."
If there should happen TO be radiShes on
that particular wagon the premier of the
nation loses no time in argument, but
speedily effects a purchase.
Recently one of the political sages Of
the capital city happened along while Mr..
tizer and he has since been busy evolving
a theory to the part this humble little
vegetable has played in the career of the
great commoner. While he is not ready
to give his solution to the public, he says
that fondness for radisheS may not be
an Indication of political success and pre-
ferment.

LIGHTKING'S HAVOC.

Il had a few fatherly words with them

promised to behave themselves and avoid
trouble. and 1 was easy in my mind till
next morning. Then the foreman came to
me to report.
" Colonel. Yuba Jim was struck by
lightning yesterday and isn't able to turn
out this morning. 1 guess Wen have to
give him two or three days Off
" Where was he hit?' asked.
" In the shoulder, but he's doing well.

Dan Scott was also struck by light
ming, sir He had thumb taken Off
THAT was a curious stroke, but he can
lay up for day or two.
And Big Jim was hit sir, continued
the man. with an impassive face. He got
two holes in his hat and a stroke in his
leg. 1 do believe we shall have to have
the doctor for him.
The lightning must have played all
Yes. sir. and Tom white-he also got
hit. He got a thunderbolt through the

That's another curious thing. That

Damage suits against railroads, it
seems, are not so common as they
used to be. The eastern and western
lines of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railway are in the states of Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Ok
lahoma. Colorado, New Mexico and the
Panhandle of Texas. In these nine
states only 121 damage suits were filed
against the Santa Fe during the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1913, according to
a statement made by ]. d. NJ. Ham
ilton, general claims attorney for the
company. OF these suits, Mr.. Hamil-
ton says, SO were for personal injury,
10 for livestock killed, six for fire
damage, and seven of a miscellaneous
nature.
Asked how he accounted for the small
amount of litigation, Mr.. Hamilton said
it was because the company tried to
'tote fair with it's employees and pat

ENFORCING 2s-HoUR LAW.

Santa he Tells How Much and How
Often to Feed Live Stock.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company has issued a bulle-
tin about the enforcement of the 2S-
hour law for livestock in transit, show
ing the results of an investigation by
the United States bureau of animal in
dustry of feeding, watering and rest
ing animals in course of interstate
transportation.
THE amount of feed which should be
given to different classes of stock" the
bureau of animal industry finds, var
les with the length of time between
feelings and the weights of the ami
mails For each "a hours the ration
for horses and cattle should not be less
than Ia pounds of hay to each hum
dredweight of animal; for sheep, not
less than 112 pounds of hay to each
hundredweight of animal, and for hogs,
not less than one pound of shelled
corn, or it's equivalent in ear corn or
other grain, to each hundredweight- OF
animal for periods greater or less than
"a hours the ration should be greater
or less, respectively, in the same pro-
portion.
The only practicable methods for
railroads to transport animals, other
than hogs, without unloading during
each period prescribed by the statute
for rest, water and feeding, are in
palace or similar stockcars and with
emigrant outfits. There are cases in
which exceptional facilities complying
with the law make unloading unnec-
essary; for instance, specially equipped
cars conveying show animals and
bIooded stock
