Sari was satisfying. It was beau

which are really descriptive. And,
more than all, it was refreshing.
Sari herself is a new stage type.
And that, in itself, is an almost mira

The opening was disappointing. But
the third number, introducing Racz
and Juliska, suggested the climax Of
the first act, which by the fall of the
curtain had more than retrieved it.
self. Indeed, one wondered if the
fairness of the opening were not in-
tended TO throw into relief more
strongly the several triumphs which
followed in the first part.
Sparkling and piquant, rising to
grand opera heights in the big num-
bers, yet always comprehensive and
charming, with the lyric quality that
the most unframed ear appreciates,
the music of Sar1 is in many ways
superior to the Merry Widow" and
there are few who will not admit its
charm.
In some ways Sari is a great must
cal production. That it falls short of
being really great Is due not so
much to the composer as to the pub
lie. Even in the musical production
the composer must have always his
public in mind. That he never for
gets that his public are not all train
ed musicians, that to reach out over
the footHghts and "get" the audience,
there must be more tune than tech
nique, melody as wen as merit, is
easily sensed, for In a production
where such heights are reached as
IN some of the numbers, it is easily
surTnisable that greater heights might
have been attained, had the composer
put his art before his public.
Dorothy Webb is not a Pavloa, but
she is both graceful and charming,
and her role was so cleverly devised
from the gay Hungarian holiday
gown to her bright Irritation with the
king, as to strike another note Of
originality.
Fl. w. Marsh, as Lazci, was not an
impassioned lover, perhaps, but his
voice made up for his lack of his
trionic ability. And, after all, no
great singer is ever also great
actor, It is said. Still it did seem as
if he rather directly addressed his
impassioned arias to his audience.
Juliska miss Mary Lane) has a
delightful voice, Of fine quality and
managed it well, and ]. K. Murray,
the baritone soloist, had also voice
of more than usual power and well
controlled.
Sari deserved the well packed
house, and will never lack for an au-
dience, should Savage send her south
again next winter, seems a perfectly
safe prediction.
She was fresh and winsome, gay
and gurgling, and her lines were as
delightful as her levity. And her
dancing was different. There you
have one her charms.

London, Jan. 3.-The latest
dispatches from the southern
extremity of the Russian front
indicate that heavy fighting is
continuing in the Russian army
of the General Ivanoff gaining
ground. One correspondent re-
ports that these operators began
with an offensive movement on
the part of the Austrians desig-
mated to strengthen their line,
and that after repulsing this at
tack the Russians assumed the
initiative. 1t is evident that the
Russian advance has now ex-
tended considerable distance
beyond the Stripa river.
In other dispatches it is as
serted that two great offensive

the Teutons in their Balkan OPP

Bulgaria, which, according to
these reports does not wish to
participate in such a campaign
unless it promises something
more than expulsion of the Allies
from Saloniki. In Athens anx-
ious thought is being given to

senting Germany and it's allies

so far as Greece is concerned
the incident will be closed with
the release of the consuls under

NEW MEXICAN REVOLT. BEING
MATCHED BY FRIEND OFKAISER
Captain Won Rintelen Literally Sup
piled With Money to Finance
New Revolution, Backed
by General Banquet
And Huerta.

New York, Jan. 6.-Money
furnished by Captain Franz
Won Rintelen, mysterious friend
OF the Kaiser, is being used to
finance new revolution inMexi-
co., according to information
that reached the Federal au-
thorities late today.
The man back of this new re-
volt, according to advices ca
bled to this country by General
Carranza, is General Aurelio
Banquet, who was minister of
war under Huerta.
Banquet is proceeding, ac-
cording to Carranza, under the
general plan of action mapped
out by Won Rintelen and General
Huerta, in Barcelona, Spain,and
in New York. He is largely fl
nanced, it is said, by huge sums
Of money deposited in banks a.
long the Mexican border, in Gu
Da and elsewhere by Won Rim
telen.
With Banquet is said to be a
number of former Huerta chief
tains, in Guiding one of the die
tator's sons-in-law. Banquet is
said to be either in Guatemala or
the hills of Chihuahua.
The new Federal grand jury,
which began it's sessions this af-
ternoon, will probe into the dis
position of Won Rintelen huge
funds. In connection with Won
Rintelen's Mexican plots the
government has traced large
sums to American representa-
tives Of various Mexican juntas.
United States Attorney H.

night that the government has

from Won Rintelen for use in

APPRAISERS REPORT
Booker Wahington's Value at the Age
of Six Was $500.

In the light of the recent death
of the negro educator, Booker
T. Washington, probably the
best known man of his race in
modern history, it is interesting
to say that there exists now in
Roanoke, Va, probably the only
written record of his status. as a
slave. This record is in the form
of an appraisers report on the
estate of the owner Of the boy,
"Bowker," prepared by B. N.
Hatcher, James K. Wright and
T. Holland. Mr.. Hatcher is re-
membered by many Roanokers
and was once director of a
bank in that city.
The document is the property
of S. G.. Burroughs, of Roanoke,
a son of James Burroughs. He
is near Booker Washington's age
and remembers the colored boy
as a playmate at the old Bur-
roughs homestead near Hales-
ford, Franklin county. Seven
or eight years ago when Wash
ington visited at Roanoke and
later went to the old home in
Franklin, Mr.. Burroughs went
along and the two had some
wonderfully romantic times
spotting scenes of their boyhood
frolics.

1902, he married Miss Hope M.
Christensen. The ceremony
took place in London, England.
On his return to his home in this
country he was made president
of the Hamilton Gas Company,
which position he held until his
death. He was also president
of the Vespertine Oil Company,
Coalburg-Kanawha Coal Com
pany, Gallitin Mining Company
and the Knawha Coal Operators
Association.
He was a staunch Republican
and a member of the House of
Delegates in West Virginia from
1892 to 1895. The last year of
his term he was Speaker Of the
House. He was a Republican
candidate for Congress in 1898,
and a delegate to the National
convention in Chicago in 1908
and a delegate at large to the
convention held in the same city
in 1912.
Col. Edwards was also a rec
ognized authority on mining
operators, and wrote several
books. He was also the author
Of Goal and Cokes in West Vir-
ginia," "Into the Yukon" "Thru
Scandinavia to Moscow" "On
the Mexican Highlands" and
contributed several articles on
West Virginia in the Encyclo-
pedia Brittanica.
