ORDERS GIVEN To-

Evidence at Hand Showing
Deliberate Attempt to
Cause Shortage.

Direct evidence that railways are

Copies of two orders given TO B.

Leave your Z. & r. coal on
west siding Millers. Back il to

differences are OdiOus as compari-
sons, but ii is difficult to believe,
it is said. that the coal shipments
are not being deliberately held up.
II is held that possibly the coal is
being side-tracked TO make way for
other freight
Other Roads Doing Ii.
But the fact remains that other
roads are doing the same thing II
is. to be sure, possible that all have
other freight more perishable than
coal and needs the right of way.
1t is known that west of South
Bend along the c. l. * :. car after

ings II is reported that at Chicago
Junction two whole train loads have
been shunted into a siding within
the past as hours and p cars were
set of at Millers on the +. & O.
Saturday with more Sunday.
A Lake Shore engineer reported
that every siding is stored with cars
and train loads of hard coal held
until further notice
Since there's a reason for every
thing these little tricks may account
in part for the high prices South
Bend is paying with the rest of the
nation for coal and finds il diffcult
TO get it at that.

We believe republican success

ConSecrate Holiday
"PARSIFAL" CHORUS
GIVES REAL DELIGHT
Carnegie Hall Audience
Finds Reason to Thank
New England
BY II. +. KREHBIEL

The days which are devoted 10 a per-
I Torrance Of "Parsifal" every season at
the Metropolitan Opera House come
very near to exemplifying the cumber-
some definition which Wagner gave his
religious drama. On no other occasion
is a lyric drama listened 10 by so de-
vout a congregation; on no other occa-
sion does the meeting so nearly re-
semble a festival of conservation. A
pity that the pious devotion is not per-
mitted to extend over other days and
include other dramasl
"Parsifal" was performed yesterday
very much as it has been performed on
4 days set apart for it in former years
apd with many of the same people
all of those, in fact, concerned with
the principal parts. And, as on all the
preceding occasions, IL was worthy Of
record that the audience which filled
the large theatre was peculiarly IN
tent upon the musical cvangel which
was proclaimed, peculiarly apprecia-
tive of its solemn beauties peculiarly
| Indifferent to the outward things
I which on ordinary occasions are asso-
ciated with the opera.
New Singers in Chorus.
There were new singers in the chorus
Of Flower Girls, and as a consequence
some of those evidences of new and
fresh study which opera. more than any
form Of drama, must have periodically,
if II is not to sink into rut of dull
conventionality. The principal repre-
sensations Of the Flower maidens were
Edith Mason. Mabel Garrison Marie
Sundelius, Lenora Sparks. Vera Curtis
and Flora Perrin, and their delightful
singing and graceful acting, like that Of
the whole chorus of women, recalled
the moment when one of the leading
musicians of Germany sat with the
writer Of this record and, suddenly
grasping the back of the seat in front
Of him. remarked:
"Eh! now we have something differ
emil Here is atmosphere and poetry"
And no wonder; he had known only
the flower maidens of Bsyreuth-Ger-
man women to whom Wagner's costum-
err had sought to give floral charm by
dressing them in what the foreign
critics of that day called "penwipers"
-gaudy hueG skirts cut with scallops.
Yesterdays audience were made con-
scious of all the poetry and atmos-
phere which captlvated Mr.. Neln-
gartner, for the whole scene was beau
tifully sung and acted. And after a
compliment to Nine. Kurt FOR the way
in which she also sang in this scene,
and Mr. Sembach for his attention to
some of the principles of song which
German singers are forgetting more
and more every day (which fact they
will soon regret we close this record
