Memories of the Opera.
The Old Academy of Music Seen With
the Eyes of a Girl of Is.

To THE New YORK HERALD: When /
was girl of 10 was able through the
courtesy of n dramatic editor of THE
SUN who was friend of my fathers
to see and hear the cream of the dra-
matte and operatlc productions OF the
New York stage. Sometimes 1 was
coached and sometimes 1 was left to
founder and reach my own conclusions
as to the greatness and finish of some
OF the actors and singers.
The description of the boxes in the
old Academy OF Music you printed De-
cember % brings back very vividly the
shock experienced when attending the
opera Martha" sung by Clara Louise
Kellogg. The very extreme decollete
gowns and the very large arms exposed
by some of the ladies of fashion seemed
unnecessarily prominent to my young
eyes.
The wonderful Parepa Rosa was one
of the artists / was privileged to hear /:
another was Christine Nilsson, over
whom musical New York went mad.
/ was also introduced to the Arcadian
Club, which, IL l recall correctly. was
composed OF both literary and artistic
people. The Otto sarony and his wife
were prominent figures the evening
attended. 1t all seemed like falryland,
although I felt afraid OF the loving cup.
l lived in Greenwich Village, and a
young girl friend and I took frequent
walks on Fifth avenue Saturday after
Moons, making Goupil's art rooms our

Chile's New President.

After the most exciting political
campaign in the history Of Chile, AR
TUBo ALEssANDRI was inaugurated as
President OF that republic last week.
He is n self-made man OF Italian de-
scent. still in his early forties, but he
has already played an important part
IN the public life of his country. He
enters the Presidency an avowed
champion Of the workers, who regard
him with almost fanatical faith and
enthusiasm.
President ALEssANpRI's election was
made possible by a coalition of the
so-called radical and labor groups,
and some anxiety has been felt by
conservative Chileans in regard to his
administrative programme. The au-
nouncement of his Cabinet, however,
does not seem to justify their fore
bodings. 1t is body of able men.
The portfolio of the Interior, which
is considered the Chilean premiership,
has been given to Senior AGUIRRE,
president OF the radical party, a man
OF intellect and leader in the move
ment for popular education. Sefior

Public Works, was originally a work.

Many reforms are expected to be
introduced by President ALEssANDRr.
One of the first measures in his pro-

Nine. Van der veer's Recital.

Mime. Nevada Van der Veer, mezzo-
contralto, gave song recital yesterday
afternoon In Aeolian Han. This artist is
we'll known as an oratorio singer. Last
season she was heard in her first recital
here given by herself. The programme
included ancient Christmas carols. mod
ern French and Russian songs and n
song heard for the first time, entitled
Dreaming Time" by Strickland, which
is dedicated to Nine. Van der Neer. The
songs were all evidently much enjoyed
by the large audience. In her delivery
of them the singer used her fine voic,
with skill, her diction, especially in Eng
lish. was good and her phrasing excel
lent. A number especially effective was
Schubert's THE Omnipotence." which
was sung with piano and organ accom-
paniment.

Porto Rico Is Orderly.
Senator Feliu Expresses the Islands
Desire for Civil Control.


To THE NEW YORK HERALD: I have
read your editorial article relative to
the reorganization of the national Cab
met, In which you advocate the trans
fer of the Bureau of Insuar Affairs,
now in the War Department, to the De-
partment of State, and since we in Porto
Rico are still under the tutelage of the
War Department desire TO make a few
remarks which to my mind strengthen
the action you suggest.
Porto Rico Is enjoying a civil govern
ment since 1900, when the so-called
Foraker act was passed by Congress to
give US an opportunity down here to
prepare ourselves for the responsibilities
OF self-government In 1917, on March
2, Congress liberalized the law under
which we had conducted our government
ganic law commonly known as the Jones
act, and at the same time made us citi-
zens Of the United States.
Now. since the Inauguration OF the
first civil government in 1900 our gov
ernment has run in perfect order. We
have had ten elections for the designa-
ton OF all elective public officers. or one
election every two years up to the one
held in 1917. since which year they take
place every four years These elections
always have been preceded by heated
and spirited campaigning. in which our
local parties have taken part enthusiasts
tically and yet complete order and peace
always have prevailed, Notwithstanding
our Latin origin.
Our people are law abiding, respectful
OF others rights and property to the
point that the holdups in highways so
commonly reported in other countries
are unknown to ourselves. In all OF the
twenty years of civil government the
military has never had occasion nor ne
cessity to interfere in any manner or
for any purpose.
Whatever law breaking occurs in the
island is of the common everyday type
in any orderly continental community.
We have our labor and capital disputes.
Strikes are called, the labor agitators
go around calling upon their comrades
to join In their movements, and they
have had their clashes, just as it hap
pens on most OF these occasions. yet the
Government has never had to call upon
the soldiers for assistance our police
organization has at all times proved
to be more than sufficient to handle
every such occurrence. Why. then.
should we be still under the guidance of
the military department Of the national
Government
We do not want 20 be controlled by
the military any moro. In fact we have
never. since can remember. looked
upon this arrangement with satisfaction
and our efforts and demands have al
ways directed themselves 10 securing a
change TO some civil department, where
we can get proper cooperation in our
labors to get ourselves ready to enter
the Union. and get over at the earliest
date possible this dependent condition
under which we are constrained to live.
Again, this condition is without prece-
dent in Europe itself. over there the

Arms for Home Defence.
The Sullivan Law Called Worse Than
the Eil IL Attacked.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Has not
the farce Of pretending to protect law
abiding citizens by deterring them from
buying firearms for legitimate home pro-
lection been carried far enough? What
over evils may attend unrestricted pur-
chasing of firearms, they are as nothing
compared with the calamity OF prevent
ing or deterring citizens from obtaining
the means of self-protection.
Repeal the sullivan law. foisted on
the citizens OF the State of New York
by the master mind OF the cheapest gall
lery playing type of Tammany politi-
clan. Give the citizen at least the chance
OF a rat in a trap-an alternative to
being shot down in the streets IL he Is
not armed. and to being sent to prison
IL he is armed.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take tablespoonful of Salts if Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-
Meat forms uric acid.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the urine
is cloudy, full Of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia- water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a lit
tie occasionally to keep the kidneys
clean and active.-adv.

PALESTINE ADOPTS NEW COS
TUNES AS WELL AS NEW WAYS
OF CARRYING WATER

New York, May 1.-The pictures
que water carrier Of the Holy Land,
gliding gracefully along the streets in
her colorful costume, with a vase OF
water balanced on her head, may soon
be but a memory in Palestine.
Water carts are now Being used IN
Jerusalem as sanitary measure, Whlch
threatens to drive the 'fellaha," for
centuries an institution in the Holy
Land, into oblivion, according to re-
ports received by the Zionist Organ
ization of America.
Commenting on the passing of this
picturesque figure, the Palestine
Weekly, English edition of Hebrew
daily published in Jerusalem, bravely
places her in the front rank of world
feminity for beauty and grace in the
following glowing terms:
1.-The Arab woman has the most per-
fectly upright carriage in the world.
Her bearing is far more graceful than
the mincing walk of the Parisienne,
more truly feminine than the man
nish strike of the athletic English girl,
more natural than the sinuous move
ments of the Spanish maid. Nor has
the ADVANCE of lessons from fash
ionable professor or caIsthenlcS,
though the pupils of an expensive Eu-
ropean Academy of Department might
we'll envy her instructive polse ana
unstudied elegance, as barefooted, but
11nfalterinsly she glides with a motion
that is veritable poetry over the
rough and ill-made roads and field
paths, not changed in the tiniest detail
in garb or gait from her ancestress
of 200 wears ago."
In addition to the introduction of
water-carts in Jerusalem. the water
sunnlv system installed by the British,
and the cleaning out of cisterns car
ried on by the Zionist Commission,
are also threatening the existence of
this picturesque water carrier.
