San CARLO COMPANY
TO SING AIDA TONIGHT

Wilmington theatre-goers last night
had the pleasure of listening to the
first Grand Opera which has been
heard in this city for years, and in
the San Carlo Grand Opera Company,
With Edvigo Vacari as the prima
donna, they not only heard the first
opera in years but the best opera
in years. Donizetti's Lucia DiLam-
mermoor had a splendid interpre-
tation, one that was artistic and fin
ished and in every way enjoyable. True
the company lacks the elaborate
scenery, the large chorus and some
OF the other accessories Of the Metro
politan and Philadelphia grand opera
companies, but the chorus is ample,
the orchestra is sufficiently large, the
principals are the best ever heard
here and there was nothing left to
be desired
Edvige Vacari the Lucia, was
heard here for the first time, and
Wilmington is ready to endorse the
praise which has been bestowed upon
this artist in larger cities. She has
voice Of more than ordinary range
and sweetness. and she knows how
| TO use it to perfection. Her work
is dramatic where it should be d.a-
matte. and her splendid ability ID

LEVY COURT TANCLE
DATES BACK 10 YEARS
Taxes Lowered, ApprOpria-
tions. Increased Since 1904,
ExhauSting Balance
MONEY SPENT TO MEET
MANY IMPROVEMENTS

A man who has given some study to
the present Levy Court situation to-
day stated that in order to get a clear
conception of the history of the pres
ent condition Of the Levy Court and
the finances of New Castle county the
inquiring mind must 90 back for
period of fourteen years. to the year
1901. At the beginning of that year
when the new Levy Court went into
Office, a condition somewhat similar
to the present one now facing the
public was found Previous to that
time similar conditions had existed,
part of which could be attributed TO
an insufficient tax rate to meet the
requirements of the county.
II has been shown by the report
of the auditors that in 1882 a bond
issue for 100000 was issued and in
1898, 100000 more was borrowed TO
pay off a floating debt and in 1897 an
other bond issue for $l50,0OO was au-
thorized TO pay floating debts. so
it can be seen at a glance that the
present financial condition is not a
new one" said the student of county
affairs.
"In going back to 1901 when the
Levy Court had deiicite of SSO,OOO
to 100000 the Levy Court at that time
was composed Of five commissioners
BY an act of the General Assembly ol
1901 the number of members was in
creased to seven and the two new
members were Merritt n. Willitts and
Isaac c. Elliott, they having been ap-
pointed by Governor John Hum. The
court struggled as best it could until
! the taxes were collected.
when the tax rate for 190l-ly0;
was fixed the Levy Court came TO this
conclusion that it was advisable to Sc
a rate that would produce suficien
revenue so as to meet the deficit ant
it was finally agreed that so cent
on the $1OO assessment would NEE

peared TO shock some people. yet thu

placed on solid financial basis. Righ
here is where the interesting cOndi
ton commenced. The increase of 2
cents on the tax rate had its effec
and at the end Of the finance year tn
auditors report showed a balance o
$5O.53135
"A balance is very creditable rec
ord for a body and the members O
the Lew Court felt elated. In th

this line. coupled with her voice,
makes her work something entirely
out of the ordinary. In the scene
with her lover in the first act and in
the mad scene in the third she was
alike effective through the two situ-
ations arc as wide apart as could well
be imagined
Salvatore sciarctt as Edgar of
Ravenwood, the lover of Lucia, was
all that could be desired. With a
splendid voice which he uses TO per-
fection, pleasing stage presence and
dramatic ability, the singer had no
trouble in winning the hearts of his
audience. At all times he has his
voice under perfect control and his
high notes are especially pleasing.
A. Modesti as Henry Ashton is an
other principal with a splendid voice,
and there was not a time in the en-
tire presentation of the opera when
he was not strong and equal to the re-
/ quirements of his part. His voice is
considerably out of the ordinary and
| he has IL under perfect control Ma
| tale Cervi as Raymond, a chaplain, is
another who is entitled to more than
passing mention. He has a voice un-
der excellent control, well trained and
has a proper idea of the dramatic as
well as the vocal requirements of the
part Luciano Rossini is the Lord Ar
thur Buekalew of the piece and is on
the same high standard as the other
members of the company. Anita
Sedelmayer and Antonio Cetti also
deserve mention.
There is some splendid work by the
/ chorus, and while it is not large, II
, is ample The orchestra is the larg-
est which has been heard here IN
some time. Giuseppe Angelini is th'
musical director and both company
and chorus are directed by Chcyaliei

portions of the program.

Why Boys Leave the Farm.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside an Ohio contributor makes
the following interesting explanation
of why so many boys leave the farm:
Let me try to show that the faith
ers are TO blame for keeping in the
rut that runs back to the days when
all work was done by hand.
The trees were chopped and
cleared by hand and the land pre-
pared for seeding with the o.d-fash-
ioned crude tools, the crops planted,
cultivated and harvested in the same
way.
These ancestral farmers we're COM
PEELED to work fifteen hours or more
each day while doing this pioneering,
and the same fifteen-hours-a-day
grind has been handed down from
generation to generation ever since.
This plan OF doing two days work
in one will no longer be tolerated by
farm boys when they come TO know
that the mason, the carpenter, the
plumber and shopmen work but little
more than half of the farm day.
SO. too. are the mothers to blame.
Their sons must become teachers,
clerks, salesmen or office men-jobs
that will ALLOW white hands, fine
clothes, and q spruce, citified appear
anee. Also. the girls are too often
advised by their mothers TO marry
city fellows.
Don't do it any more, mothers,
II you could follow your boy for a
month after he reaches the city you
would shed tears of regret the rest Of
your life.
Now tell the truth. Mr.. Farmer.
Are you giving the boy the opportun-
ity you might? Remember this is the
twentieth century, not the eighteenth.
Couldn't you make life little more
pleasant?
Have a little more sociability,
give your sons a share, let them do
some Of the business. know farm
er who never would let his boys work
the team. They used the hoes. There
we're four OF them, and they all left
home before they were eighteen.
Make the boys eonfidants, ask their
advice. Make farming interesting,
dignified and honorable"
