year and a half ago their plans for
keeping the home Independently were
shattered Help had been necessary
since the father died, and mother and
daughter hoped 10 be able to make both

It is impossible for the latter to
manage alone. but she is doing what
she can at laundry work and scrubbing.
She is thrifty and succeeds in keeping
the children neat and clean. There are
three boys and a girl, all in school.
One Of the twins is crippled, but, like
the rest, he is making a good record.
They are eager for the time when their
sister can return from the hospital, but
this cannot be for months yet.
Milk is being provided for the chill
aren by others interested. The Charity
Organization Society asks for Sl6S to
make it possible for the mother to con-
tinue the home. This will meet the

Colonel Watterson expressed himself
on yellow" newspaper rs foliows:.
There is confusion in the public
mind about what is known ns the 'yrl-

Pulitzer was the third, and finally Mr..

and occupied the field OF yellow jour
nalism. As Mr.. Bennett became more
respectable and Mr.. Dana became more
fixed in his efforts, so did Mr. Pulitzer,

NEED FOR PENNY LUNCHES
Money Sought for More Coun
tiers in Schools.

II the Board Of Estimate makes the
desired appropriation of $4,000 the
New York school lunch committee will
serve penny-an article lunches in
twcnty-cight schools, instead of in
seventeen, as was done last year, i'm
Manhattan. IL
"Thc need for lunch service in the
schools" says Edward r. Brown, OK.
ccutive secretary of the committee. "is
very generally due TO the mother
going out to work. thus keeping her
from her domestic duties and prevent.
ing the preparation of hot noon meal
for the children. If she gives them n
few pennies to buy lunch they will
often spend il for unwholesome
sweets, perhaps even before noon.
"By competing with the cheap candy
vendcr and other obnoxious purvcyors
TO youth, by providing real substantial
food, it is gradually replacing these
persons, who used to infcst the school
cighhorhouds."

WILLIAM TELL"
SUNG AT CENTURY
Rossini Opera Given Here
After Twenty Years
Abroad.

ROssini'S william Tell" which was
last given in New York at the Metro
politan Opera House in the season Of
l89i-'95, with Tamagno, Edouard de
Reszkc, Pol PlancOn and Ancona, was
sung last night at the Century Opera
House before one of the largest audi
ences that has yet attended Century
performance.
The decision Of the Aborns to revive
the old work was an admirable one, as
the opera is full of arias and ringing
concerted numbers which do the car
good even in these late days. there
are, too, those who find in william
Tell" the rudiments of the later music
drama, a virtue which to the ordinary
opcragoer may not always be appar-
ent. At any rate, all can agree upon
the merits Of the famous overture, and
this was taken last night by Conductor
Jacchia at a truly terrific tempo, but
one which brought forth whirlwinds OF
applause.
The Htle part was sung by Louis
Kreidler. whose rough vocal method
was less in evidence than in the pre-
ceding week, and whose impersonatiOn
dignity. Orville Harold sang some Of
Arnold's music very beautifully and
some Of it not well at all. On the
whole. however, his voice seemed in
better condition than at any time dur
ing the last two years.
Henry Weldon's beautiful organ made
Of Walter q vibrant figure, and Lois
Ewell sang Matilda sweetly and acted
it unaffecteGly.
First honors went again TO orchestra,
chorus ard stage management. showing
that Signor Jocchia. Mr.. EURO and Mr..
Coini have been able completely to re-
organize these branchesc of the COM
pany. The chorus in particular sang
nth a resonance Of tone and an as
surance of attack which would have
done credit TO any opera house.
So. after twenty years of absencs,
civilian Tell" is with US again, and,
from the demeanor of last nights au-
dience, it was evident that many were
glad of the return.
If the Century continues to give the
performance in the spirit it showed
last night. many doubtless will be con-
verified. The cast was as follows:
