CURRENT COMMENT


The Opera Repertoire
The selection OF operas with which the
Metropolitan enriches this scant year in
Philadelphia has notably bettered within
the last two weeks. Heaven-sent Mozart
was sung this week; "Madama Butterfly"
is announced for Tuesday. But the re-
Prospect Of the four early weeks Of the
season is not gratifying-'Tosca," Clio
conda," 'Lohengrin" and "Aida"!-and
leads to the question of blame.
one flies out at institutions first In
these merry reforming days; but Is tho
Metropolitan at fault? The year will
press hard upon the management even
in New York; obviously this is no time
for experiment, Nor is it a time for edu-
cation. And the established fact Is that
Philadelphia will not support novelties
Last year the Metropolitan. in the face
OF past experience, put on Boris Gudo-

With the expense Of production reach

New York, and passing that mark for
Philadelphia, there is precious little room
for blaming Mr.. Gatti- -Casazza. The
blame, II there Is any, attaches closer

Those apart who cannot afford opera,
there are still n great number OF music

Exact County Areas
Are Being Computed
tFrom a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Nov. 12-(Special.) -Esti-
matSs by the State Board OF Agriculture
indicate that there are 7,O74 square miles
in Nebraska or in round numbers 49,2OS,OOO
acres of land with water areas deducted.
The areas of the counties of the state
have never been determined. The figures
of the map publishers and the estimates
of the census takers do not agree and in
fact the federal figures vary'widely when
the various census returns are compared.
However, there win be exact figures on
this subject in about a year. Robert Har-
vey, surveyor for the commissioner Of
public lands and buildings is making a
township survey and in this manner fix
ing the size Of the counties. He deducts
all lakes and rivers. He has completed a
number OF the counties, but the figures
in hardly any case agree with those here
tofore published.
When this gigantic task is completed
the exact size of any county in the state
can be obtained from the official report
of the commissioner. Until then estimates
must be relied upon in considering the
areas OF the counties.

NEW YORK. Nov. lS.-The New York
Stock exchange probably will resume
regular business with the beginning OF the
new year, unless unexpected obstacles
are encountered. This statement is made
on high authority and is the result Of a
series OF conferences recently held be-
tween officials OF the exchange and lead
ing financial interests OF the country.
II appears to be the unanimous opinion
Of the financial community that nearly
all OF the difficulties in the domestic
