one of the highlights of the French op-

sleep by the Metropolitan Opera Co.
and presented last evening at the Met
ropolitan Opera House with a strong
cast and stage settings that have never
been surpassed in Philadelphia. The
opera was first staged in 1885 and is
therefore we'll along toward it's Tooth
anniversary, but has been practically off
the boards for long time so far as
the present generation of operagoers is
concerned.
AS is frequently the case in the re :
vival of old operas, the singing, the
acting and the stage settings surpassed
the actual music of the opera. LA
Juive" is pre- eminently spectacular
and the music is dramatic and dcclam-
atory rather than melodious. In fact,
considering that the opera was com
posed in day when melody was the
main thing, there is a surprising lack
of this essential operatic element in
Halevy's work. Halevy was not a
great melodist, great harmonist or a
great orchestrator, and yet it must be
said for him that "IIa Juive' is orig
inal, for it has none of the character
istics of the operas of Donizetti or

La Juive" was produced year be-
fore Meyerbeer's first success was

composer has put into it. Caruso ap-
peared in a new role, that Of an old

as to singing and acting. The opera
seldom gives him a chance to exhibit
the wonderful lyric singing in which he
is at his best, but the great duet in the
fourth act with Brogni and the succeed

singer was obliged to respond to at least

The inhabitants of Azerbaidjan are
Persians, Armenians, Kurds. Tartar

the fact that it contains Mount Ara

The public endorsement of local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong

SO. Telling ones experience when it
is for the public good is an act of
kindness that should be appreciated.

Merely a Good Story.

Wars produce many stories of f1c-
ton, some of which the oftener they
are told the more they are believed to
be true. The Civil war was no ex-
ception to this rule. and the story of
the apple tree is one of these fictions
based on a. slight foundation of fact.
There was, indeed, an apple orchard
on one side of the hill occupied by the
Confederate forces. Running diagonal
ly up the hill was wagon road, which,
at one point, ran very near one Of the
trees, so that the wheels of the We
hicles had on that side cut off the
roots of the tree, leaving little en-
bankment. General Babcock, of my
staff, reported to me that when he first
met General Lee he was sitting on this
embankment, with his feet in the road
below, and his back resting against
the tree. The story had no other foun-
dation than that Like many other
good stories, 1t would be very good If
it was only true.-Memoirs OF

INCREASE IN WATER RATES
PROTESTED.

Property owners of both Charles
Town and Ransom are seriously in ear
nest in their protest against the pro-
posed increase in water rents for the
two towns. Notice had been publish
ed that the Charles Town Water Com
pany would make application to the
Public Service Commission on Sep
TENDER IA for authority to increase its
rates.
The councils of the two towns went
on record in opposition to the propos-
ed increase at a joint meeting on
Thursday night, August 26. This
was followed by mass meeting of
the citizens of the towns at the Court
House Tuesday night of last week
The Court House meeting was largely
attended, many ladies being in the as
semblage
Attorney James M. Mason, Jr., was
called to the chair, and Attorney
| Frank L. Bushong was elected secre-
tary. ]. B. Brazier offered motion
to ratify and confirm the resolutions
adopted by the councils Of the towns,
making those resolutions embody the
sentiments of the mass meeting. They
were adopted as follows:
That the President of the Board of
Health be directed to take such steps
as may be necessary to have the State
Board Of Health to send a representa-
tive to examine the source of water
supply as to its purity and sanitary
conditions, ETC., or otherwise have the
water examined. The expense if any

| Second. That the Mayors of Char
les Town and Ransom jointly appoint
a committee of three to employ rep
resentative to appear before the Pub
lie Service Commission and make a
protest against the increase in the
rates of the Water Company, after
making proper study of the question.
The Water Company will petition
| the Public Service Commission for the
privilege of advancing fiat rates for
| consumers who use small quantity
of water. For consumers using large
| quantities of water, it is proposed to
install meters and make the charge
according to the volume used.
The proposed new rates will become
effective October / if allowed by the
Commission, and will be collected ac-

GOVERNOR coRNwELL WILL
NOT CALL AN EXTRA SESSION.

Acting presumably on the advice OF
the Attorney General, Governor Corn
well has decided not to call the Legis-
lature in extra session to amend the
election laws of the state so as to en-
able women to vote under the recent
ly ratified Anthony Amendment Ex-
isting law is ample to provide for the
change that the amendment makes in
the status of women.
The situation will give the regis
trars and election officers all they can
do. If they can accomplish the work
that will be imposed upon them with
out turning gray over night, life
pension ought to be given them. With
the aid of the Attorney General and
others, election officers may survive
the ordeal, though when the election
is over all will realize that they have
had a new experience.
Women Of voting age may be regis
tered along with the men on the regu-
lar registration days the latter part of
October and ratification of the amend
ment does not necessarily mean the
converting in extra session of the state
legislature, according to Henry Nolte,
assistant attorney general
"All that is necessary for the women
to vote is the registration of the wom-
en- voters of the state" said Mr. Nolte.
"Of course as the present law stands
on the statute books of West Virginia
only male citizens over the voting age
| ard of sound mind and who have re-
sided within the state for a year are
entitled to vote This would indicate
that it would be necessary for the leg
| islaature to act, but no doubt, the case
of Neale against Delaware, decided
| by the supreme court of the United
States will be the governing factor and
by analogy the female voters will be
bread in along with the male voters.
| Of course, it will be necessary for all
women who will be permitted to vote
| to register, but the registers sit for
two days to register all voters. This
may give. sufficient time to register
| the women who are entitled to vote =
| Mr.. Nolte questions whether it will
| be physically possible to register all
| the new voters in the three days al
lowed by law before election. If not
he says, it will be necessary that the
legislature be convened in extra SEES
sion to amend the registration law SO
| that an opportunity would be given
for the proper registration of all the
voters men and women alike.
Zone effect of equal suffrage will
be to make women eligible to appoint
ment as notaries public, an innova-
| ton that will be of great service in g
business way" said secretary of State
Houston G. Young. He also stated
that there are 313, 465 females in West
Virginia q years of age and over, the
estimate for 1920 of the National
Womans party, which made the esti.
nation from the figures of the 1910
| census.
