balls were unknown at that time
in New England history. The Swed-
,ish king now appeared as Ricardo.
count of Warwick, governor of
Boston, and the authorities having
no objection to the assassination OF
an English governor, the opera was
produced with great success at
Rome in 1889.
Beautiful Arias. y
Ever since that day the opera has
held secure place in the affections
Of all music lovers. There are few
operas in existence today with so
many beautiful arias for soprano,
tenor and basso.
There are four acts and five big
scenes requiring all that il magnifi-
cent in the way of production and
there will be incidental dalfces per-
formed by the Opera Corps de Bal
let. The music will be conducted by
Teohlo De Angels, the new Italian
conductor of the Chicago Opera as
ISOLATION, who has for many years
DCSH SOHuuIlol DIT tIlC SOllS tdilLl,
Rome.
In brief the story Of the opera is
as follows: Ricardo, count of
Warwick, governor of Boston, loves
Amelia, the wife of his secretary and
intimate friend, Renato, Creole.
Amelia also loves, but is anxious to
cast off the unhol.y passion and
visits Ulrica, a negro sorceress. 1t
so happens that the governor has
gone in disguise to visit Ulrica, be-
cause she is suspected of witchcraft.
He overhears Amelia's confession,
and follows her when she is told
to gather certain herbs beneath the
gallows. Here in this weird place,
he clasps Amelia in his arms. But
Renato, the husband, enters to warn
him of conspirators. He hurriedly
covers Amelia with his cloak, and
before leaving requests Renato to
escort the strange lady home with
out attempting to learn her identity.
But they are both surrounded by
conspirators and Amelia is revealed.

Girl Gave Tramp 81
Bill and in Return
Is Willed $4,000

Usage, Ia, Oct. 1l.-(Special.)-
A legacy of s6s,0OO has been left
Miss Sarah Lindley, a 24-year-old
clerk of this place, because she was
kind-hearted enough to be touched
by the plea of a tramp who appealed
to her for 81.
This was nine years ago when
Miss Lindley was visiting the farm
of an uncle, near Nora Springs, Ia.
The tramp came to the door and
begged a meal, eating it in moody
silence. She inquired the reason for
his sadness, and he explained that
his wife had-deserted him and since
then life had held nothing for him.
He lacked money to hunt for her,
he said, but thought it would be
some satisfaction to locate her, even
if she would not return to him. Miss
Lindley felt moved by details Of his
story and pressed him to take 81
bill, which was all she could spare.
The tramp thanked her with tears
in his eyes and went his way.
The matter was forgotten, but re-
vived startlingly few days ago
when Miss Lindley received word
that a man named John Brunsiek,
living in a small Minnesota town,
had died and willed her his entire
fortune of $65,000. The letter was
addressed to Miss Sarah Lindley,
Iowa." which is all the address the
tramp had remembered, he having
gotten the name from neighbor
after the girl had given him the 81
that day nine years before.
Miss Lindley declares the legacy
has inspired her with no particular
plans for the future, either to get an
automobile or a husband.

ROMANCE MINGLES
WITH WAR TRAGEDY
Entente Men Wed Russian Women
Despite All Obstacles
LYCEU3T THEATER.

Copenhagen, Jan. /. Correspond
ence of the Associated Press -Ro-
nance was intermingled with tragedy
in the trying days when the foreign
colonies were attempting to get per-
mission to leave Russia. Arrests
searches and threats of execution
were relieved by marriages between
men of the Entente powers and Rus
sian women.
The Bolshevik government would
not grant Russian citizens permits to
go abroad. Consequently foreign men
who hoped to leave Russia shortly
could not hope to see their sweet
hearts for an indefinite period, pos
sibly never, If they left them in starry
ing, disrupted Russia, where food is
denied to persons not regarded as
''class-conscious Workmen" and all
persons not in sympathy with Boil
shevism are dispossessed.
Many officials of the French and
British colonies married in the last
trying days of their stay in Moscow
and Petrograd, but the wedding Of
Captain w. L. Hicks, military aide
to Bruce Lockhart the British diplo-
matte representative in Moscow, was
accom- plished in the face of greater
obstacles perhaps. than those OF
other Entente citizens who managed
to marry between Jail sentences and
searches.
Captain Hicks was one of the French
and English officials who were held
as prisoners in the American consul
late general at Moscow. He was en-
gagged to marry Madame Melinina,
but dared not leave the American
premises to marry her. Most of his
official associates were in prisons
charged with ntra-revolutionary ac-
tivity and in danger of execution.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1919-01-25

Russian priests refused to perform
the ceremony in the American con-
sulate, as the orthodox church re-
uuires that marriages be celebrated
in church.
Major Allen Wardwell, of the
American Red Cross, who was look
ing after the interests of foreign
prisoners, interceded with Bolshevill
officials, but Peters, the head of the
commission for the SUPPRESSION of
contra-revolution, was firm in his re-
fusaI to grant Captain Hicks immuni-
ty if he left the American property
and walked into the Russian church
which stood in an adjoining court.
When the hour for the departure of
the British officials from Moscow ap-
preached the situation became des-
porate.
Finally one of the Lettish women
who was guarding Captain Hicks be-
came interested in his plight and teie-
phoned to Peters, addressing him in
the Lettish tongue. Her appeal was
needed. She assumed responsibility
for the delivery of the English officer
at the train which was to carry him
out of Russia. A priest was hastily
engaged and the party stopped in an
orthodox church on the way to the
station, where the ceremony was per-
formed just half an hour before the
bride and groom started for England.
