A wonderful personality, h magnificent voice, endowed by nature with the artistic temperament all contributed to make of her a great woman. But withall. her voice Is wonderfully well preserved. The tone quality in her chest and medium registers Is possibly as rich and resonant as ever. Her technique is somewhat impaired. In that her tones are not emitted as spontaneously as of yore. Her singing of "Home, Sweet Home, Impresses one as much ns ever, but the arias from the great operas are lacking In their tone beauty and Interpretation. Too bad to mar the deliphtful membrance of her singing In 1884. re- a new generation wants to see Ten The old play Nights in a Barroom. drew a large audience and applause in plenty. What Is more, the applause Is deserved, for the company Is entirely capable and satisfactory. And what la still more, If there were any hard drinkers In the audience who didn't feel moved to swear off on this swearing-of- f day, they are foreordained to fill drunkards' graves. Ten Nights In a Barroom" Is horribly realistic, aa most of you will remember. There is plenty of room in It for strenuous acting and for pointing strong morals. As Joe Morgan, the drunkard, Alvin Wlckoff did a delirium tremens scene that almost had the audience looking for the xoologlcal specimens he though he saw. Florence But-limade a litte Mary Morgan that was more than deserving, and Harry as Harvey Green was a most despicable villain. ' Edgar L Schooley won high approval in the part of Sample Switchell, the audience cheering wildly when he foiled the villain, just as in the good old times gone by. The play Is put on with a close attention to detail that Indicates excellent management. Ten Nights in a Barroom" will be at the Grand Opera House this afternoon and tonight.

It being symbolical of Christ and religious In Its nature many critics agree that the environment of New York is not favorable to its production. Wagner's expressed wish , no doubt because he took the same view, was that the oitera should not be given outside of Beyrouth, the home of his operas. Many critics, on the other hand, contend that Its artistic value was great, that nothing like it has even been given In New York. From an ethical standpoint there has been much opposition to Its production. This view is shared by some of the musical Journals, the leading ministers of New York and a great many prominent musicians and 'critics. They felt that not for a money consideration should the wishes of this great man be disregarded. The courts decide that because of Its not being copyrighted in America, they had a legal right to produce it. The Opera's Composer. Richard Wagner, the composer of Parsifal," was born In Leipxig May S3, 1813, and died In Venice February 13, 1883. He wai the most remarkable musical genius of his time, who, after many struggles, attained the highest pinnacle of fame. Wagner has intro-th- e musical drama. He was not alone the musical drama, e was not alone great ns an operatic composer, but also as a poet, having written the librettos for most of his operas. From 1833, when his first opera was written, at the age of 20. to 1882 he composed thirteen grand operas besides several overtures, a symphony and other orchestral works, a cantata, pianoforte pieces and a great number of songs. Parsifal" was his last great work. Francis Wilson to Retire. The retirement of Francis Wilson from the comic opera stage is announced to occur at the end of the present season. For more than eighteen years Francis Wilson has been a leading comedian in comic opera.

California, says a big mining suit, involving the will Royal mine at Hodson, estimated to be railroad, which, when completed, make It one of the foremost mining camps In the world. The Nevada Btate Journal, published at Reno, says: Active construction work on the new railroad to Tonopah, the greatest mining (Hinp In the country, will begin In earnest this month. The road will be completed and in operation on or before June 1st. This definite information was given out by one of the main owners of the proposed line, J. W. Tropp, who came In from Carson, where he spent a few days, en route from Tonopnh to Ban Francisco. He has gone to Bay City to Join his father, A. Tripp, and perfect a few unimportant details regarding the building of the new road. In the main, eastern people, most of them residing In Pennsylvania, are interested. Messrs. Tripp are at the head of the incorporation. All the stock has been taken up and It is not on the market. The name of the company is Tonopah & Rhodes railroad. The road will be narrow gauge and will run front Rhodes Marsh to Koda-vlland thence to Tonopah. The rails, ties, cars and engines will lie entirely new and of the first quality. The ties and rails have been ordered for some time and are now well on the way to the scene of operations. The ties are of standard sixe and quality, while a fifty-foand sixty pound rail will be used. The rails have been purchased from the Southern Pacific company and the C. & C. track from Rhodes Marhs to Codaville will be used. The distance between these two points is four miles. From Soduvllle the company will construct the sixty miles of road necessary to reach Tonopah. For a distance of about five miles a grade will be encountered. From that point for a distance of forty inilea the road will he level. The remaining fifteen miles will be on a slight grade. The country offers exceptional opportunity for the building of a railroad nt slight expense. The cost of grading will be exceedingly light. The contract for the grading calls for the handling of 230.. 000 yards of dirt. Passenger coaches of the very latest design have also been ordered.

Kemp Van Ee, the latter being the present superintendent of the Royal mine, were promoters In London from 1896 to 1898. During that time they acquired considerable mining property, Including the Royal mine, located at Hodson, In Calaveras county. Brother-to- n was taken Into the proposition, Brotherton did owning a not think he was being treated fairly, so he brought suit for an accounting and for his share of the profits in the mine. The case was to have come up for trial In the superior court of Calaveras county at San Andre, but a compromise was effected and the suit has been dismissed by stipulation. Owing to the strike of the miners of the Royal, the mine has been closed down for some time and the strikers have been temporarily enjoined from interfering with the mine or the nonunion men who have taken the places of the strikers.
