JOHN QUINE HEARD
FOR FIRST TIME
Young BARITONE Holds His
Initial Recital at
AeOlian Hall.

The field Of the song recital is indeed
crowded. but there will undoubtedly be
room in It for John Quine, barytone who
was heard for the first time in Aeollan
Hall yesterday afternoon. II is a pleas
ure to welcome young singer who Of
fers so much toward the enjoyment OF
lovers of lyric Interpretation.
Mr.. Oulre's programme was uncom-
mon In character and arranged with
good judgment. Naturally II began with
early airs. but even among these the
singer found It possible to place one
rarely heard, namely the invocation of
"Orfeo," from Jacopo Peri's "Euridice."
beautiful example of the "stile par
lante" with which the Florentine coterie
introduced modern Italian opera to the
world.
French and English songs OF variety
and melodic charm occupied much OF the
recital. Mr.. Qune has a voice of good
quality. tending a little toward dryness.
but none the less capable OF delicate mu-
steal meditation and pleasing express
sion. His technic. though not yet per-
fected Is far advanced and his tones
were generally free and susceptible of
fine dynamic graduation. His pronuncia-
tion was admirable. especially In the
purity OF the vowel sounds.
But still moro important were the
young singers style and taste He de-
rlivered each song with a nice sense Of
its musical character, and in his inter
pretative methods he displayed apprec!a-
ton and a knowledge OF effect. Mr..
Qulne Will undoubtedly he heard again
and should attain good position in his
chosen field

expressed the belief that the matter was
slight and could be adjusted.
The Governor was told by Chairman
Bowling that after IL was thought that
everything regarding the milk contro-
versy had been adjusted a question
arose regarding a milk station in New
Hampshire, and that the representatives
Of the distributors asked that they be
given until tomorrow morning in which
to confer with the distributors.
Under the terms of the agreement
first reached to-day the producer would
be paid 1901 a hundred pounds OF milk
in January, 1884 in February and ss.31
In March. In March the S3.31 rate
would apply to producers within radius
of $50 miles of New York. while pro-
ducers In the $50 mile zone would be paid
s3.23. The producers had insisted on
1901 for milk In January, and the best
previous offer of the distributors for that
period was s3.63.
After January 35 the distributors
would take all the milk the dairymen
sent, and from now until January rs
shipments would be limited only by the
number of cans available.

'0BERON' REPEATED
AT METROPOLITAN
Weber's Fairy Opera Is Heard
With Demonstrations of
y Pleasure.
A BRILLIANT SPECTACLE
Beauty Of Music Is Alone Suf-
ficient to Win Popular
Favor.

webers fairy opera, ''Oberon," was
repeated at the Metropolitan Opera
House last evening. The audience was
Of large size and It's demonstrations Of
pleasure showed that the revival had
met with substantial favor There was
ground for DOUBT whether the loosely
jointed story, the episode nature of the
action and the lack o. dramatic con-
tinuity in the music might initiate
against the success OF "Oberon" In a
time when concentration OF purpose
plays so large a part in the acts of the
lyric drama.
Such doubt has been obliterated ~
the reception accorded to the work, and
Mr.. Gatti-Casazza's Judgment in making
the revival has been justified. The
beauty OF the music is alone sufficient
to account for the pleasure of the public
II Is music of n type quite different from
that of the present popular style of OPP
era and also stimulates interest The
music. too, Is admirably performed un-
der the direction of Mr.. Bodanslsy.
Furthermore operagoers have learned
to enjoy stage spectacle and in this
"Oberon" is most brilliant The Incl
dents permit the most liberal exercise
OF the scene painters fancy, and Mr..
Urban has given to the settings Ills
most bewildering conceptions. The cast
Is good one. though not OF exceptional
distinction. Miss Ponselle, Miss Gentle,
Mime. Delaunois. Mr.. Martinelli and Mr..
Althouse are the principal figures.

NEW TERMS ARE DRASTIC.

London, Jan. 16-The Central News
declared that as q result Of the Allied
discussions in Paris the whole aspect
of demobilization has undergone a
sudden and vital change, this being
shown in the drastic conditions de.
manded of Germany for a renewal OF

"On authority of an unimpeachable
character" says the Central News, 1T
can be stated that situation exists
In Europe under which war may break
out again at any moment. The Allied
war council has arrived at decision
which means that the British people
have mistaken the appearance OF
peace for reality. This decision means
that the new British ministry must
revise the whole scheme of army de.
mobilization.
"The decision is that Great Britain,
in proportion to it's military strength
must maintain an army of occupation
on the Rhine for many months. If thr
rapid increase in demobilization re
Gently were continued there would in

There is a hubbub in the national
senate over the election expenses of
Senator-elect Newberry Of Michigan,
whose seat is being contested by Henry
Ford. Newberry's expenses in the pri-
mary were $l76,00O sworn to, and very
likely more. It was like Gas Addicks in
Delaware of old. It is such a scandal
that the republican lieutenant governor
Of Michigan, elected on the same
ticket with Newberry, is recommending
legislation to put an end to such posi-
bilities of disgrace. A real investiga-
tion in Minnesota a few years ago
would have shown something interest
ing in senatorial election.
Some folks seem to think it makes
for unity to call George III a German
king, and they apparently want to apol-
ogize for what happened in 1776. Eng
ishmen must have their own opinion of
such Stiffness. George III belonged to
house called to the throne by the de-
liberate will Of the English people. He
was more of an Englishman than Will

No president who was more soldier
than anything else was a success. The
qualities of military leader are not
necessarily those which fit man for
civil executive office. The great soldier
Grant was conspicuously one of the
weakest of the presidents. The service
may bring out in a man qualities of
courage, willingness to sacrifice, and de-
votion to duty, which are valuable quail
tiles in every servant Of the people,
and which it is possible to have and to
develop outside Of military service. The
underlying fact, however, with refer
ence to military men and office, high or
low, is that office is considered in the
nature Of reward and recompense for
service. The people are naturally and
properly grateful and this is one way
of showing it. The war was not long
but there. were many in the service. Fol
lowing the example of the Civil War
soldiers, there will be plenty of as
pirants for office who have worn the
uniform.
