The House Jack Duffy Built.

TO THE New York HERALD: Your
correspondent is mistaken about the
old wire sign over the shack where old
ale was sold in Columbus Circle in 1875.
AS a little boy I always remember read
ing the wire sign "rhis 10 the house
thr. Jack Duffy built
Regarding the square which IT, was
proposed TO name for Theodore Roose-
Welt, wonder how many remember
catching little perch with q bent pin for
q hook in pond where the Natural His

The Pool.

A pool of rain is In the street
A lnpid looking glass
Which images with clarity
The pretty feet that pass
The buckled pump. the natty boot.
The modish oxford tie.
And Mildrcd's slipper smartly strapped
With heels absurdly high.
She pauses at its edge to see
Her lovely face therein.
The dancing eyes and smiling lips
And dainty dimpled chin.
The crystal surface mirrors, too,
The azure sky above
Thus one small pool of rain, behold
Reflects both heaven and love.

Ii occurred to Dumas to write Twenty
Years After" but not to Mr.. Gatti-
Casazza. Otherwise he would not have
given la Boheme" at the Metropolitan
Opera House last evening. but would
have saved it for a grand Christmas
and anniversary celebration next Mon
day. For it happens that la Boheme"
was first performed (the date is incor-
rectly given I'm at least one book) at
the Metropolitan on December 25, 1901.
II had been given earlier elsewhere. but
those previous performances need not
count. So far as this town Is con-
cerned the opera was born twenty years
arc next Monday evening. and one year
he~~r will come of age.
,tcro memories rise when the first
.c.ropolitan cast is recalled. but they
cannot all be recorded. But think these
over: Nine. Melba as Mimi. Miss
Occhiolini as Musetto, Albert Saleza as
Rodolto, Campanari as MaroeIto, Gill
bert as Schounard, Journet as Colltne
and Dufricl1e (the original Paris DGn-
cairo in "Carmen") as both Benoit and
Alcindoro. Melba needs no history, but
some operagoers will not recall that
Saleza was the best Romeo and Faust
after Jean de Reszke.
The late Mr.. Caruso sang Rodolfo at
the Metropolitan for the first time at a
matinee December 5, 1903, with Nine.
Sembrich as Mimi OF the cast that sang
with them only one is still active, Miss
Estelle Liebling, the Masettu, lately

1t was spirited performance, with
flashes of real musical beauty, and there
was much delight over the racconto.
"Mi chiamano Mimi" "Quando me in vo

the third act.
The audience was large.
The sixth week of opera started with
brilliant audience and for many mem
bers of parties in the boxes the per-
formance prefaced several later enter
tainments which in the aggregate formed
one of the most active nights in society
this season.
One Of the most frequente5 Of the
parterre loges by the box callers during
the intermissions was No. 2S. where
Mrs W. Bayard Cutting entertained
Miss Iris Cutting, her debutante grand
daughter, who arrived recently from
England. Other guests OF Mrs. Cutting
were Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph III. Choate.
The guests Of Mrs. Richard I. Wilson

Cures for Snoring.
In the East Sleep on Your Back ;
In the West Do Not Do So.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A per-
son afflicted with snoring should make
sure that his nasal air passages are
free. When he retires he should lie
on his back, with extra pillows to
push his head forward and force his
chin against his chest. That will close
his mouth and force him to breathe
through his nostrils A little practice
will soon make it a habit. and he will
learn to sleep with his mouth closed
without being on his back with his head
pushed forward with pillows. and he will
be cured of snoring / have tried it on
myself. CHARLES LEROY,

Mrs. Siddons's Father.
The Great Tragic Actress Not Link
i'm an Interesting Chain.

TO THE NEW YORK HERAID: The ac-
count Of "Mrs. Siddonss Father" which
YOU reprinted the other day from the
London Times has awakened no little
interest among theatrical folk. That
account leads the reader to believe that
one Charles Murray, son of Sir John
Murray of BrouGhton, was the father
ct Mrs. Siddons, "who became SO fa-
NOUS" Mrs. Siddons. according to the
London Times's article, was introduced
to London at q benefit performance
given on May IL, 1898. for her father
In which Miss Murray, as she still was,
took the part of Perditn, and on Sep
tember 13, 1902. she appeared on the
London stage as Mrs. II. Siddons.
From this It might be supposed that
the actress mentioned as Mrs. FL Sid
ions was really the truly great Mrs.
Sarah Siddons. IT is difficult to recall
at this hasty- writing any English ac-
tress playing in London. September ID.
1902, as Mrs. II. Siddons
The great tragic actress Mrs. Sarah
Siddons was born in the year 1855.
She was the daughter of Roger Kern-
bic. a player and manager. who In 1853
Sarah Siddons was the eldest of Roger
Kemble's twelve children. She married
William Slddons, member OF her
fathers strolling company at Coventry,
England.
On November 26. 1873, Mrs. Sarah
Siddons was engaged TO play at Drury
Lane Theatre by David Garrick. Again
engaged by Garricl in 1882. she played
Lady Macbeth, her greatest role Desde-
mona, Rosulind and Ophelio.
Mrs Siddons retired from the stage
in 1912, but appeared now and then III
aid of some worthy charity. Her last
appearance was on June 2, 1919, for the
benefit OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Kemble.
She died in London on June s. 1891, and
was buried In Paddington Churchyard.
The Charles Murray mentioned by the
London Times as the father of Mrs.
Siddons was born in 1854, whereas Roger
KembIe. the father OF the great Sarah
Siddons, was born In 1921. Charles
Murray's death occurred 100 years ago.
that Is. in 1921. at the age of 67 years.
The great Mrs. Siddonss father. Roger
Kemble. died IN 1902. at the age OF 81
years.
Mrs. Siddons's sister. Elizabeth Whit
lock appeared at Drury Lane as PoTtid.
Visiting America she had the honor of
appearing before President Washington.
she left the stage in 1907. and died on
February %. 1886.

OVERRIDING the Holiday.

Whatever the inherent merits OF
the proposal TO honor BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN by adding another holiday
to our already overloaded list of ex-
cuses for stopping work. this Is as
bad a time to put forward such sug-
gestion as could be imagined. With
ten or dozen weekdays in each
year on which work comes to a dead
! halt in celebration of some anniver-
sary or other, the country even now
is losing millions of labor days every
hour Of which is of incalculable value
in the formidable struggle to get back
into that normal production which
must be attained if we are to keep
up with the procession.
What would BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
that great evangelist of the Gospel
of Toll and Thrift. say about the pro-
! posal TO loaf for a day to show re-
spect Cor him? What would be Poor
Richards opinion on the propositions
/ that eight hours is the limit for a
days work and five and half days
constitute work week?
If, now, the suggestion were that
! January II, the sage's birthday, be
commemorated by every American
citizen doing full days work, an
eighteen hour days work of the kind
FRANKLIN did, in one day, that would
be honoring Ben FRANKLIN in way
which beyond all doubt would have
his hearty approval.
America is not suffering alone from
the holiday mania. In France it has
! become something of an epidemic.
The French go us one better i'll ere.
ating loafing Gays They have what
they call "the bridge" If yesterday
was holiday and tomorrow ia to be
one, then to-day, the bridge between
the two days of idleness, is holiday.
This discloses masterpiece Of logi-
cal reasoning. How in the world did
our holiday makers overlook it?
! But even in France there is a
growing revolt against the perpetual
seeking OF excuses for knocking off
work. An indication OF this was
given in the French Parliament
when it decreed that Armistice Day
should be celebrated on the following
Sunday. thus merging the civil and
the religious holiday into one. Com
menting editorially on this and refer
ring to the fact that the holiday
mania is extending even to the
schools, the RerNe des Deur Mondes
says:
at is time to put an end to these
dangerous notions To exile France
from the taste for work is not only
to go against the traditions OF
laborious people but it is to miscon-
ceive the harsh conditions or exist
ence which are beginning for us, and
which. with even more certainty,
await our children. In the world
which we are entering the only SAL
walton for one and all is in work and
by work 1t is the law. Let us ac-
cept 1t resolutely instead of trying to
dodge it by trickery. 1t is scrvitude,
If you wish to call it so. But servi-
tude itself, such a servitude, has its
grandeur
This is sound doctrine, every word
Of 1t, and it is as applicable to us in
America as it is to the people of
France. All proposals for new holi.
