FIRST ON AMERICAN STAGE
"6eeear's Opera" Caused Some Con-
troversy When 1t Was Produced
at New York In 1851.

The first musical play presented
upon the American stage was 1.-THE
Beggars OPERA" by John Gay, which
was produced at the Nassau Street
theater in New York I'll years ago,
A considerable proportion Of the 10,-
900 people then comprising the ,popu-
lation of New York attended the per-
Torrance, although there were not
few who protested against the god
less affair" and threatened to "have
the law on it"
The Murray & Kean company, a
band of comedians who went to New
York from Philadelphia, was respon-
sible for the production. 1t was a
benefit performance for Thomas Kean,
who personally called on the leading
citizens and sold tickets. The per-
formance began at 6 o'clock and was
over at 8:45. A harlequin dance,
pierrot dance and "The Drunken
Peasant were presented as entertain
ments between the acts"
1.-THE Beggar's Opera" was long
popular, and some of its lines are still
quoted, among them: "How happy
could 1 be with either, were t'other
dear charmer away i''-Chicago Jour

She Was Used to II.

A boy on bicycle whiZzed around
corner and knocked a woman down.
She must have been built of something
more durable than bones, for before
the boy could right his wheel and get
off it she had scrambled to her feet,
and seeing his intention of first aid,
remarked:
"Thank you, son, I'm real obliged"
The youngster was awful sorry, and
was saying So in the honest way
boy has, when she Interrupted
That's all right! This makes the

OF INTEREST TO ALL IRISH
In Region Adjacent to French City Of
Cannes St. Patrick Received
Religious Training.

"For true appropriateness Cannes
might better be chosen for discus
sion Of Irish affairs than for an at
tempt to solve European financial
problems" says a bulletin of the Ma
tional Geographic society, in regard to
the French Mediterranean winter re-
sort. meeting place of the allied su-
preme council. Cannes has it's tie
with Ireland" the bulletin goes on to
explain, because it was In a monas-
terry on one of two little islands just
off the Cannes shore that st. Patrick
received the religious training which
fired him with missionary zeal and led
to his conversion of the Irish.
"St. Honorat founded, in 40, on the
smaller of the two islands which
bears his name, the monastery in
which ST.. Patrick studied. 1t was one
of the fountains of learning and mis-
sionary effort during the Middle ages.
According to a legend, the island was
infested by snakes and st. Honorat
miraculously drove them out-an ex-
ample which his follower, St Patrick,
is supposed to have put to good use in
Erin.
I'm spite of its many letters Cannes
is properly pronounced as single syl-
liable, like the English verb cam"

Jews of New York.

There are 100000 Jews in Greater
New York-nearly 80 per cent of the
entire population, observes Foreign
Language Information Service. This
number equals the total population of
Philadelphia, or Detroit and Cleve-
land put together, or Buffalo, San
Francisco and Pittsburgh combined
or twice the population of Boston.
The 100000 are distributed as fol-
lows: East side of Manhattan, $4,000;
Harlem, $4,000; Bronx, 311,000; VIII

park, $4,000; Queens, $4,000; Rich
mond, 5000, and scattered. $4,000.
This population supports u Jewish
theaters, 5000 grocery and delicates-
sen stores, 300 stationery, cigar and
candy stores, 2,4O0 meat shops, 500
drug stores, 700 shoe stores, 275 hard

Ask Much of inventor.

The helicopter, machine capable
of vertical flight, with which British
inventors have already attained par
tial success, has caused plans to be
made by the government for $780,
600 competition open to the world for
a further improved design: The con-.
ditions, which if met would make the
helicopter practical and revolutionize
the science of flying are: 1t must be
capable of rising to height of 1000
feet under its own power, carrying
one man and one hours fuel supply.
1t must be able to remain stationary
over ground object for half hour
in a wind up to 20 miles an hour.
1t must be able to land safely in any
wind up to 20 miles an hour without
horizontal motion, and with the en-
CINE cut off, and must be able to main
tain horizontal flight at a height of

CALLOW YOUTH IN DISCARD
Statement Made That He Has Little
+ Real Chance When Middle Age
Goes A-Wooing.

Miss Marcel1ne Stokes is a social
worker of Chicago. We regret that
Miss Stokes does not give her own age
along with an academic discussion of
affinities, observes the New York Tele-
graph, However, her views are inter-
esting. She informs us that this is
an epoch of the middle-aged beau );
that young girls prefer as husbands
H'hard-boied old men to half-baked
youths" The fiapper's heart beats
responsive to the male person of forty
dve. ut startles me-" she exclaims,
and we are not surprised. A great
many things startle the lady or the
gentleman who contemplates matri-
mony merely as an interesting study.
We are fain to believe she is more
than half right, at that, and there are
reasons. Young women of a generation
or so ago did not come in contact with
the matured unincumbered man of
fOrty-fve. The girls were at home
doing homework. Now they go
abroad they encounter the veterans in
business and elsewhere and naturally
they make comparisons. And when
are made the callow
youth gets the worst of the analysis.
That is all there Is to it.
The girls are wiser and more selec-
tive than their mothers or their grand
mothers were.

named Burus; it seems to have been
one of the earliest homes of feminism,

SOME THINGS WE SHOULD KNOW,
IF WE Do NOT.

We accept the blessings that come
with the services of the public util-
tiles as though they were mama;
something that had just dropped
down from the skies.
We r-sometimes--at the
marvels they perform for us.
But do we know
That every mile of wire that is
strung; every electric lamp that
burns in our home; every bit of
electric power that turns our factory
wheels; every gas main extended,
every street-car rail lead bringing US
pleasure and profit, represents bor-
rowed money?
The new construction by the util-
tiles does not come out of earnings ?
That we have delegated trustee
the responsible head of the public
utility company that serves us-to go
out among the thrifty individuals or
to the banks, which are the deposit
cries of those who save, and that this
trustee has borrowed money for us
upon which we are obliged to pay in
terest ?
That unless we make the credit of
our trustee GOOD ne won pc aDle 10
borrow any further, and if he can't
borrow for US, he cannot build further;
that we ourselves determine just what
our electric light and power, gas,
transportation and communication
services shall be =?
That it is only we-the public
who win when he borrows for us;
that his return is only in the wage
that is paid him for running the
property that gives us service?
That when we make his credit good,
so that he may borrow and build for
US, we not only receive returns in
the way of services that mean in
creased convenience, prosperity, high
err standard of living and better
health, but that for every dollar he
borrows and spends as our trustee he
adds many dollars to the value of
every bit of property, whether invest
ed in the home or business, and puts
wages in the pockets of the worker,
through the development brought to
local industry.

Dear Sir: / have submitted your

GAME IN ARCTIC ABUNDANT
Hunters Have Had the Best Season
They Have Enjoyed for the
Last Twenty Years.

According to mail advices from
Nome, Alaska, this is the periodic year
of abundant wild animal life in the
Arctic regions.
Early winter, with tremendously
large ice foes in the Behring sea,
gave the natives of Kutsebue sound
the most profitable polar bear hunting
in 20 years More of these animals
have been shot or killed to date than
for many years combined. Only In
exceptionally severe winters does this
nomad of the Arctic abound so far
south. Accordingly Northwest Alas
kans prepared for long, cold winter.
The white king of the northern
regions is a combined hunter-sailor-
hobo. He has no fixed habitat, but
goes where game is most plentiful,
coming down with the ice pack from
the North when the seal, walrus and
whale move.
Unlike any other animal, the polar
bear keeps to the ice, and will seek
shore only when cut off from open
water. 1t is the best swimmer Of the
animal world. Loose-j ointed, I'M
calmly, silly looking, with a skin that
fits badly, the creature Is, however,
very fleet footed.
No game laws will ever guard the
great polar bear, for he lives In
region little frequented by human
beings and keeps entirely out of sight.
Every 20 years or oftener a severe
winter will induce them to travel 1000
miles southwark and thus become the
victims of the long distance rifles of
the hunters.
