can people. It Is claimed that a declaration formally adopted by Congress will settle forever the question of foreign agpresslon on the American continent. The relets concerning the Ilrltlsh flying squadron stirred up the friends of the resolution, and they decided that if the reports that It Is bound for Bermuda were confirmed efforts should be made 'to call up the Davis resolution and pass It through the St-nate as soon as possible, even to the displacement of the silver bill. It is eaid by men prominent In foreign affairs in Congress that England could not make a greater mistake than to send lier Wleet to Bermuda. One of the most pronounced, advocates of the American doctrine sc'd to-day that the American people were slow to rise, but that they would resent with their whole strength anything that could be construed Into a menace. Continuing, he sail that In the Transvaal and other troubles the United Ktates had refrained from'adJlr.g to Great Britain's embarrassments, but if the great fleet assembled at Portsmouth was to be sent to waters adjacent to America. Instead of serving to make the United States hesitate In the matter of a declaration and enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. It would have the opposite effect. The United States, by the Davis resolution, he "aided, would make it very clear that under no circumstances will any violation of the Monroe doctrine be allowed. . It Is agreed by all Senators that the most important part of the Davis resoluion is that which asserts that the United States shall be the sole Judge as to whether the Monroe doctrine has been violated In any arbitration or agreement or in the 6ettlement of a boundary dlsputebetween a foreign government and .a government on the Ame-ican continent. It is pointed out by those who favcr tils part of the resolution fiat it meets the criticism made to the portion. of the President's message rtatlng that any agreement made between Great Pritaln and Venezuela could not be . objected to by the United States. The extreme advocates of the Monroe doctrine a3 interpreted by the Davis resolution say tliat thL is necessary in order to prevent any de facto government which may be In power jn 37 ;0uth American country for a snort time from bartering away a portion of Its territory. It was al3o stated in this connection that the tirr.e may arrive when Ppaln would agree to sell Cuba to KnRland, and Congress should proclaim in advance that such a sale or cession would be contrary to the Monrce doctrine and ran act unfriendly to the United States on the part of the country making the acquisition. : The Davl3 resolution will be presented to the Senate on.. "Monday. It may be that It will not be called uo for several days. There U no doubt that It will be debated at length whenever brought before the Senate, as it is understood that considerable opposition will Ie manifested to it. and treeiallv to . that part which makes the United St4es the judge of the validity of any arbltr tion or agreement. It is asserted fcy the opponents of the re3olutIon that such a declaration !s bound to lead to entanglements. The Davis resolution Is framed to cover not only the care of Venezuela, but also that cf Honduras, which, it is said, will soon engross the attention of the world. In the Hondurasease It is sail that the claim of Great Ilritain goes back as far a3 the time of Charles I, when a grant to cut mahogany v.i3 given to some wood shippers. AX I2XCMSIIMAV9 PLAX.

Horr Sir AY I limit Dm Voeax AVonld Settle the Itonudnry Dispute. NEW YORK. Jan. 18.-A apectal to the World from London says: "Knowing the deep interest you take In maintaining the good understanding between thl3 country and America. I have no hesitation In sending you thei following letter from Sir William Des Voeux. who Is a man of large experience, and was lately Governor of Hong Kong. He spent a year in Venezuela and therefore knows the subject thoroughly. JOHN PENDER. "As the- desire appears to De now general on both sides of the Atlantic for our amicable settlement with Venezuela of the boundary t question which has recently received such Importance I venture to make a suggestion Which, besides other advantages, may tend to facilitate and shorten negotiations. We learn from Caracas that any proposal . for settlement will be referred to Washington for approval. Venezuela, as she has a perfect right to do. has thus practically chosen the United States government to act, eo to speak, as her attorney in this matter, and as she has broken off diplomatic relations with us it might bo well rhat she should do formally what apparently -ehe has done already, informally authorizing the United States government to act on her behalf. Such an : arrangement : would probably be satisfactory for us as providing us with a civilized and stable government with which to negotiate, while our acceptance of it would go far to conciliate feeling in the United totates. if one or more negotiators were then appointed by the United States and an equal number by Great Britain they, actuated on both slJes by an earnest des.re for peace and honor and with the whole case before thm, might be expected to CO4.t,veryl q?ly to a definite agreement. This might, of course, be made subject ' .to the ratification of both governments concerned, in which case Great Britain would in all probability not withhold ratl"S5ifIoIL ?.f What haJ been thus arrived at, whiie If enczuela did so the United Statrs. being satisfied that we had done all that could In reason be expected of us. would leave eaezuela to the consequences of her unreason, or. better still, as Hnally settling thn question the negotiators might be fnven plenary powers. In which the United states would naturally undertake to enforce any unanimous conclusion, as Venezuela has In the past proved, so impracnave modified her pretensions. In consequence of recent events It seems probable that without some such preliminary arrangements any attempt at settlement would be useless, and any sug.PSt!on for-that end are premature. I nave the honor to be. sir, your obedient servant. WILLIAM DES VOEUX." ; The Rikndnc Opened. STOCKHOLM. Jan. IS. The Riksdag was opened to-day by King Oscar In person. In the speech from the throne hl3 Majesty tald he heartily desired that all causes for discord between Sweden and Norway should be permanently set aside. In view of events on every side which made it more necessary than ever before for the security of the liberty and independence of the Scandinavian peninsula that both nations should hold fast together. The King added that the large surplus In the treasury would permit of the adoption of the proposed grants for ships and fortresses to be provided for national defense and for the maintenance of the country's neutrality in the event of warlike developments. Kanlts Measure. BERLIN, Jan. IS. The oleomargarine and Kanitz bills In the Reichstag both touch American Interests. Count PoJbielski's chief argument against the oleomargarine bill was that stearine and cotton-seed oil are Imported largely from America to adulterate oleomargarine, thus rendering it unfit for food. He therefore urged that a heavy Import duty be placed upon it. While discussing the Kanitz government grain rronoroly bill several of the Agrarian speakers dwelt upon the impossibility "of competing with the products of American cheap land and demanded government protection. o i'ltlnintum to Chlnn.

DEATH OF M. FLOQUET FRBXCII STATESMAN, LAWYER, AND A JOURNALIST IX HIS YOUTH ,

Gained Great Notoriety In 1S07 by Shontlnir Vive La Poland!" nt Czar Alexander and Napoleon III. PARIS, Jan. 18. M. Floquet, who was at one time President of the Council "of Ministers and also Minister of the Interior, is dead. . - Charles Thomas Floquet was a politician, a lawyer and a newspaper man, and in each of these capacities earned a reputation. He was born In St. Jean de Luz, in the Lowjr Pyrenees, Oct. C, 1S2S. He stuiied law and was early in life called to the Parisian bar, where he gained his first laurels. He was outspoken to a degree, and this characteristic marked his wholo career by exciting incidents, to the list of which his encounter with General Boulanger added another. He first found a field for the ventilation - of his advanced opinions in editorial writing. He was connected with the Temps, the Siecle and other newpapers, and was successful In bringing each of them to the censorious notice of the government by the freedom of his pen. His ardent republicanism guided his choice of the causes which he pleaded in the court. After the assassination. In 1870, of Victor Nolr by Prince Pierre Bonaparte, he succeeded In getting damages for the murdered Journalist's family. He also successfully defended Cournet when he was tried at the high court of Bloi3 for participation in the Communist plots cf 1370. , But the greatest fame, or notoriety, of his legal career was achieved In 1S67, when, during the visit of Czar Alexander of Russia to the Palais de Justice in company with Napoleon III, M. Floquet suddenly confronted the royal pair as they passed, arm in arm. down the corriior, and with the cry of "Vive la Pologna, monsieur," procured for hini3elf a brief Imprisonment, but a lasting renown among many of his countrymen. M. Floquet followed this audacious act by heading a subscription to buy a "revolver of honor" for Berezowskl, a young Pole, who fired at the Czar in the Bois Ue Boulogne. M. Floquet was assistant to the Mayor of Ptris during tne terrible siege, and after the fall of the empire he devoted himself wholly to the liberal politics of France's new era. He was sent to represent the department of the Seine in the National Assembly, and votsd against the peace preliminaries. Shortly afterward he was arrested on the charge of intriguing with the commands. Cleared of this he was sent to the Paris Municipal Council. He became Its president, and In 1576 was elected to the Chamber as dtputy for the Eleventh Arrondissement of Paris, and he at once became remarkable as one of the stanchest opponents of the reactionary and monarchlal designs of the Due de Broglie. M. de Fourton and General Rochefouet's "Gouvernement de Combat." In LS3 he had a brief tenure of office as prefect of the Seine, succeeding M. Herold. In October of the same year, having resigned his prefecture, he was sent to the Chamber of Deputies as the representative of Perplgan, a town in the department of the Eastern Pyrenees. In April, l&C. M. Brisson having accepted the premiership, M. Floquet succeded him as president of the Chamber of Deputies, and was re-elected at the general elections of November. In April, 1?S3, he organized a new cabinet, at the head of Which he remained ten months and one day. He was for some months previous the subject of diplomatic conferences between Paris and St. Petersburg, and it was then an open secret that if the Czar had not withdrawn his opposition M. Floquet would not have been honored with the trust which President Carnot then placed In his hands. M. Floquet was a man of great eloquence and a shrewd politician and diplomatist. As president of the Chamber of Deputies he was popular with all the groups and exerted great influence without incurring risk of exciting political resentment. He was an energetic presiding officer with keen perceptions and commanding dignity of manners. lumen M. Hopkins. LANCASTER. Pa., Jan. 18. James M. Hopkins, an old-time ironmaster and politician, who was the last man living who figured conspicuously in the famous Christians riots, died at h!s home at Conowlngo, this county. James M. Hopkins was eighty-five- years old. In 185S he ran for Congress on the Democratic ticket ; against Thaddeus Stevens, and gave the great Commoner the hardest fight In the latter's congressional career. The first conflict and bloodshed under the fugitive slave law, passed by Congress in ISol, occurred at Christiana, resulting in the death of a Maryland slaveowner named Edward Gorsuch and the wounding of a number of his party. Castner Han way, a Quaker, and thirty-seven others who assisted the slaves were arrested for treason. Hanway alone was tried and acquitted. Mr. Hopkins was one of the 1ury, and It is believed was the last aurvl&r of those who were connected with either the riot or trial. Col. Henry Stone. BOSTON, Jan. 18. Col Henry Stone, superintendent of the outdoor poor.Uied to-day as the result of a stroke of paralysis suffered a few days ago. He was sixty-live years of age. Colonel Stone was a native of Maine. He was engaged in newspaper work from 1S52 until 18.10, a part of the time in New- York. After the war he settled at Nashville, Tcnn., and was appointed chief of the police commission, in which capacity he was called on to handle the troublesome Kuklux episode. In 1S70-72 he was connected with the Census Bureau at Washington. After he, had charge of compilation of "Poor's Manual." In 1SS1 he went to Boston and was appointed on the State Board of Lunacy and Charity by Governor Ames. was a member of the Loyal legion of Massachusetts and of the Grand Army of the Republic and other organizations. Robert G. Itemnen. NEW YORK, Jan. 18. Robert G. Remsen, son of Henry Remsen, private secretary to Thomas Jefferson, died to-day. Mr. Remsen was president of the Patriarchs and the originator of that ball. He was director In a dozen leading financial companies, among! them the Manhattan Savings Institution and tho Knickerbocker Trust Company. Henry B. Chandler. NEW YORK, Jan. 18. Mr. Henry B. Chandler, an early resident of Chicago, and one of the former owners of the Chicago Times, died at the residence of his son-in-law, Col. Charles S. Diehl, at Yonkers, this mornlnsr. BICYCLE TIKES. Some Ideas of Inventors Which Have Ileen Patented. Washington Pest. Although acknowledged to be an enormous advance over solid tires, the one bad quality of pneumatics, liability to puncture, is to such an extent an offset of their good ones that considerable of the advance is still prospective. Numerous punctures of the same tire, and frequent changes from one to another In the search for a tire that will not puncture, have led to unusual activity among mechanics who have devoted themselves to improving the bicycle. In consequence, inventions of almost every nature pour into the Patent Oillce so that where at one time one room was sufficient for all wheeled conveyances, engines, wagons, cars and all, that space Is now given up to the bicycle alone. Tires, of course, came in for their share of attention from the very first, but recent months have fairly flooded the office with Improvements in that feature of the wheel. At first James T. Hoit, to whom this particular branch of bicycle improvements has been assigned, co.iflne I himself to the study of the material of which tires were made, as both the manufacturer and the rider thought that some flexible, tough material coulJ be obtained that would obviate the only undesirable quality of the new tire. But after a few months an inner tube c-me In for attention, and then conflicting r!a!ms for new ideas for ianer tubes led those who watched the development of the wheel to th'nk that this was the solution of the oroblem. When It had been discovered that even two tubes were not sutficlent. some inventors came forward with tires made with one large tube and a semi-circle of smaller ones In the bottom of the tire, so that when the tire encountered any substance that would have formerly punctured It only one of these small tubes wculd be cut and the rider might proceed uninterruptedly until the tube could be conveniently repaired. Strangely, however, this Invention did not seem to commend itself to those who determine the practical value of such inventions, so. like the dozen of tire compositions ofer?d, this device was quickly discarded. The resources of the inventor, change In material, change In form and change in construction, seemed now to be exhausted, but the Inventor found new ones In tho proposl-w tion to construct armor for tho tire. There I was originally a fiat strip of tin burled in

the tire, but this Involved the contact of about twice as much rubber with the road as is now the case. Then came a series of plates folded one within the other, like oldfashioned armor: then a succession of plates like the scales of a fish, and these were all to be so built In the tire as to make practically no additional noise. There have been offered as materials for this armor, besides these plates, catgut, rawhide and compressed cotton or hemp. To the clerks in the Patent Office the use of cotton seemed the greatest improvement, though another tire described below Is the favorite among the manufacturers. Held tightly in place between strips of hard rubber, .compressed until almost as tough as Iron, absolutely noiseless, and- yet so light as to be almost no additional weight, cotton' would seem an almost ideal protection. Nor Is such a plan infeaslble, for the inventor has organized a company which makes and guarantees these tires for use. on any road. In exhibiting the tire recently the inventor rode up and down two planks covered with tacks and barbed wire without puncturing his tire. : The tire that pleases bicycle makers Is not an improvement on the one now in use, but a plan to make punctures practically harmless. The Invention consists of a self-mending apparatus that punctures may be remedied soundly with no delay other than' the time required for the inflation of the tire after repairs are effected. In the inner tube, along that side of It nearest the rim. Is placed a narrow rubber tape, covered with wet cement. When this tire is punctured the rider simply pushes its outer edge against the tape and the cement fastens It closely over the hole in the tire. The rider then inflates the tire and the break is remedied. The possible obpectlon that the tape would interfere with the inflation of the tire Is met by a series of cuts that enable the air to pass through it as well as on both sides. This last invention is the only one that has met with much of a reception from the manufacturers, and for this one the possessor of the patent right has been given $50,000 and a royalty in proportion to tha number of tires sold. While this may not be as much of an advance over the old solid tire as some of the other Inventions specified, it is certainly the least expensive and the one most likely to appeal to riders as a class; for the patrons o? the manufacturers have been so frequently deceived by what seemed invulnerable tires that they are now suspicious of anything of the kind. ST. LOUIS SELECTED

INDIANAPOLIS SOT ' CONSIDERED BY THE POPIX1ST COM3IITTEE. National Convention of the People Party to Be Held In the Mound City on July 22. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 18. After a session of two days, the Populist national committee adjourned sine die this afternoon without having selected a place to hold the next national convention. A meeting of the executive committee, however, was unexpectedly called to-night to consider new propositions presented by the Business Men's League, of St. Louis. After discussing them for some time the committee decided to hold the convention in St. Louis, on July 22. When the national 'committee reassembled this morning Chicago was the first to present dts claims, the speakers in behalf of that city being D. M. Fulweiler, of Arkansas; Dr. H. Taylor, Eugene Smith and F. J. Schultz. S. Heisler and H. O. Snyder spoke for Kansas City, Kan. Harry Tracey Deledy and Mayor Holland spoke In behalf of Dallas, Tex. Wnen they had finished tho committee went into executive session to consider the propositions of the various cities. One purpose of the executive session 'was the discussion of attacks made by various newspapers and Populist State committees on Chairman Taubeneck and other officers of the national committee. Mr. Snyder, of Kansas, presented a resolution on the subject which, after considerable discussion, was adopted with only three dissenting votes. The resolution declares the national committee has entire confidence in the wisdom. Judgment and integrity of Chairman Taubeneck, Secretary Turner and Treasurer RaAken and each of the members of the executive committee, and urge Populists throughout the Nation to Immediately line up to the support of the executive committee with liberal contributions to sustain its work in the coming campaign. When the committee reassembled, at 2:30 p. m., the question of referring the matter of selecting a place of meeting to the executive committee, with instructions to act within ten days, came up and aroused much discussion. It was finally decided in the affirmative and the contesting cities were requested to present new propositions to the executive committee. The national committee then adjourned. Other matters will also be acted on, . principal among which will be framing of a call for the national convention. Thl3. however, will not be given out until a report is received from the special committee as to the intentions of the Bimetallist League in regard to the holding of its national convention. The call will be made public from Washington, probably not later than the 22d inst. The executive committee met to-night and selected St. Louis, as stated above. Clnlmn to Have Ileen "Bled." NEWARK, O., Jan. 18. A sensational suit has been commenced here by R. F. Ford, late 'doorkeeper of the Oiiio Senate, against ex-State Senator George Iden, for $110. Ford claims that Iden secured the position of 'doorkeeper of the Senate for him and then compelled him to pay him all over $13 per week of his salary. The suit has caused quite a sensation here. This evening the sheriff received a summons from Franklin 'county to be served on Iden to appear beiore tne grana jury Monday. Another Fruitless Ballot. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 13.

The second congressional di3trlct Republican convention was held at Woodvlllo to-day. A split occurred on election of temporary officers and two sets of delegates,' one favoring Reed and the other McKinley, were elected. Webb Flanagan, of "What are we here for" fame, is leading the McKlnley forces. THEY ALL GO TO3IONTE CAnLO. Mecca of Foreign HuMoands of American HeireKseM. Chicago Record. It is a peculiar but not altogether surprising fact that when scions of the nobility of Europe wed American heiresses and return to the Eastern hemisphere they invariably drift either during the course of their honeymoon or shortly afterward to Monto Carlo for the purpose of indulging in the satisfaction and excitement of gambling without any fear as to the consequences, since if they have bartered name and title for cold cash they think It only right that they should be at liberty to squander it as they please. As soon as Prince Hatzfeldt married Miss Huntington he made his way to Monte Carlo and tempted fortune at rouge et nolr and trentr et quarante with stakes of a magnitude to which he had never previously been accustomed. The same may be said of Prince Colonna, who married the daughter of Mrs. Bonanza Mackay: of the Due de Dino. wno married the divorced wife of Mr. Stevens, of New York, and of Count Castellane, who married Miss Gould; and now it appears that the Duke of Marlborough, on reaching Europe, made straight for Monte Carlo, where he was seen at the tables daily, on one occasion playing side by side with one of his cousins, the Marquis of Camden, with whom however, he never exchanged a word. The two had never previously met, and, although they were aware of each other's Identity, not having been introduced, they Ignored each other's presence. The Due de Dino was playing at the same time, and astonished ever; cne by the size and recklessness of his stakes, which, since he is penniless, naturally come out of the pocket of his American wife. "Good MomlnB" In Samoa. Robert Louis Stevenson. In St. Nicholas. I had to go down to Apia five or six different times, and each time there were a hundred Black Boys to say "Good morning" to. This was rather a tedious business: and, as very few of them answered at all, and those who did only with a grunt like a pig's, it was several times In my mind to givo up the piece of politeness. The last time I went down I was almost decided; but when I came to the first pair of Black Boys, and saw them looking so

comic and so melancholv, I began the business over again. This time I thought more of them seemed to answer, and when I got down to the tail-end where the carts were, running, I received a very pleasant surprise, tor one of the boys, who was pushing at the back of a cart, lifted up his head and called out to me In wonderfully good English: "You good man always say good morning." It was sad to think that these poor creatures should think so much of so small a piece of civility, and strange that (thinking so) they should be so dull as not to return it. , X EW.

"What we need In New York," declared the newspaper woman, with fire In her eye, as she crossed oft the ninth Mrs. Smith from her list In her vain search for Mrs. Smith, who was the president of the new political' club and whose address nobody knew and whose husband's first name nobody was certain of, and whose own name was. not in. the directory "what we need is a business woman's directory or a reform agitation on the quesMon of identity whereby women over twenty-one years of age will demand that their names be put in the directory 'Mary Jane Smith," or will discard the Mary Jane forever and be known solely, socially, publicly and privately as Mrs. John Henry Smith. "Why, there are hosts of men who are only known as the husbands of their wives

'who figure in the directory in plain letters. and their wives, who are the women or affairs, with broad interests, do not appear in the volume. - Some of the names of business and professional women are in the didectory, but in thoe-cases it Is usually because the woman is a widow or unmarried. Now, I like the retributive idea of Mr. What's-hls-name, . who married Olive Schrelner. adopting her name. Nobody knows who he is.

CALVE WILL BE HERE

THE GREAT CAHMEX TO APPEAR AT THE 3IAY Ml'SIC FESTIVAL. Fran Klapfsky May Be Secured Xordlca a Certainty Close of the DumroscU Season. The Indiana May Festival Association will have' the great Calve the peerless Carmen as one of the principals for the May festival this year, as the directors have received a satisfactory. reply to the offer which was made the manager of this celebrated singer. Calve is conceded to be the greatest Carmen known to the operatic world, for she is a native of the romantic land that produced the real Carmen and has the temperament and fire of the character. There Is no other woman in the world, perhaps with the exception of Pattl and Melba, that commands so large a salary. When Calve left the Abby, Schoeffel & Grau Company in New York, several years ago, she announced, as a result of a quarrel with Eames, that she would never return to America, but this fall the impressarlos smoothed over the ruffled spots, and, with the additional balm of a fabulous contract, brought her back. It is settled that Nordica will appear at the Indiana festival indeed, a festival would hardly appear complete without her, so popular and well liked is she In the State. A few weeks ago the Cincinnati festival management, in making a contract with her, tried to Impose the condition that she should refuse to sing in Indianapolis, which, It Is admitted, is outstripping the Queen City annual affair. Mme. Nordica, however, refused to comply with the request of the Cincinnati people. It is not Improbable that Frau Klafsky, who sang the role of Elizabeth in Tannhauser Thursday night, may be engaged. The festival directors were In negotiations with her manager, Walter Damrosch, the last week and a satisfactory proposition has come from the prima donna. Klafsky is one of the greatest Wagnerian sopranos in the world. The Damrosch season of Wagnerian opera closed at English's last night with the largest attendance of the three nichts. Every seat down stairs was taken. Elliott Schenck, Mr. Damrosch's assistant, conducted the orchestra In the place of Mr. Damrosch. The feature of "The Melsterslnger" was the magnificent work of Emil Fischer, who has been heard In Indianapolis several times before, but never at so great an advantage as last night. Wagner could not have had in mind a more capable artist or a man better qualified for the role of Hans Sach than this famous basso, whose display of fine voice was accomDanled by admirable acting. The jovial shoemaker has much of the attention of the audience during the opera, indeed, he is the life of it. It is quite probable Mr. Damrosch will bring his company to this city next year if be concludes to make a tour. The, Melsterslnger Lecture. There were several hundred at the Propylaeum yesterday when Mr. Damrosch began his talk ori "Die Melsterslnger." He took the listeners back to the old town of Nuremburg, in which the scene of the opera of the Melsterslnger Is laid. Wagner was a devoted student of the old legends and In his studies he took particular pleasure In Nuremburg. This is one of the few places which retains the old-time quaintiiess. There has been an act passed by the burghers of the town that any one who builds a new house must do it on the old-time architecture, with the jutting windows and peaked roofs and all the picturesque outlines. The streets hall be kept crooked and this town, by this act, will -probably be one of the great picture places of the world In coisequence. One of the old customs was the formation of a group of singers, who were called the mastersingers. They were a group of men, artistic and literary. They were the guild of singers. The chief of these was Hans Sachs, a shoemaker. The masters of song had a . lot ol rules of poetry and music and when the tests came for admittance to the group of singers those who entered for trial had to observe all of these old laws. .The idea of never having progress Is said to have been seized by Wagner as a main point in writing this opera, the only comic opera he ever wrote, to take his revenge on the musicians who spoke of him as being crazy when he introduced a new form of composition and threw over all the old t-et of rules. Wagner wrote this opera as a rest for the heavy work of the "Nieblungenlied." It Is entirely different from "Tannhauser" auid the "Lohengrin," which were the two preceding the performance of last night. There are melodies in it, chorals, an oldtime waltz and several other musical figures which one can "catch" and which are not as elusive as the motifs in the heavier operas. In this old town of Nuremburg lives the goldsmith and his lovely daughter. There Is the town clerk and there are other villagers, apprentices and others. The next day, "St. John's day," there is to be a trial of mastersingers and the one who makes the best poetry and music and sings the best Is to have the goldsmith's daughter fcr a wife. The scene opens in the church. The daughter and her maid are' there and leaning against one of the pillars Is Walther. There is a flirtation between Walther and Eva, the daughter. Eva tells him of the trial to take place the " next day and he decides to enter the lists. They fall desperately In love at sight. Eva afterward tells the- nurse that he reminds her. of the picture of. David and his harp and shield. The song of this "Harp and Shield" is an old-time folk song of the country. It Is superbly interwoven by Wagner into an old-fashioned polyphonic qualntness. Musicians have said that Wagner did not understand counterpoint because he did not follow their rules, but he was such a master that he has taken three and sometimes four songs and had them all going at the same time, and yet all in the most perfect harmony. In whatever Wagner does in this way he shows no scientific display, though it seems to come perfectly natural. The Mastersinger Is a quaint picture of comedy with a fine sentiment. However, in it all there seems to be a fling at the musicians. Mr. Damroscn said: "You may study the Mastersinger and never know all of Its wonders and beauties. I have conducted it many times, and yet it is ever appearing as a new thing. With years of study one can find different new thlng3 in this opera. There are many fine bits of comedy work in the opera, and in every scene the music aptly fills out the sentiment. The outcome is that Walther sings the prize song and wins Eva. Throughout the whole lecture Mr. Damrosch entertained the audience as well as Instructed, and any one who missed the lecture, even if not hearing the opera, missed a treat. It was as Interesting to the student of literature as to the musician. DAILY VITAL STATISTICS JAN. 18. Deaths. Maria Gakstarter. seventy-six years, 22 Ketcham street, acute bronchitis.

Edward Smith, a 'egro, Tried to Injure, a Little White Girl. Edward Smith, a negro, attempted to rape little Nettle, the ten-year-old daughter of Mrs. Mary Mason, a white woman living at the southwest corner of Sixth street and the canal, about noon yesterday, so it Is said. The little girl and one of her companions were playing in the backward when Smith enticed the former Into the stable and made Improper propositions to the child. In her innocence she did not understand his words and was not frightened until the scoundrel grabbed her In his arms. The little one struggled and screamed, and her companion, who witnessed the struggle, ran and aroused the neighbors. Hearing the children screaming, Smith became frightened and dropped the girl to the floor, afterward running into the alley. A man who was passing saw Smith running and gave pursuit, but was unable to overtake him. One of the neighbors telephoned for the police. Captain Splan, of the detective force, dispatched two of his men to the house and patrolmen were also notified to join in the search. The mother gave Superintendent Colbert an accurate description of the negro and the police tope to capture him. Smith keeps a team A horses in Mrs. Mason's stable and was there for the purpose of feeding them yesterday. The child has seen Smith very often and was the more easily Induced to enter the stable, as she thought she had no reason to fear him. The mother was terribly excited over the affair and implored the superintendent to arrest the negro and send him to the penitentiary. He assured her every effort possible would be made for his apprehension, and she left the station house pressing the child to her breast. If Smith had been taken in the neighborhood it is likely It would have fared hardly with him, as it is reported talks of lynching were freely Indulged In. No trouble of that sort is apprehended by the police in the event of his capture, however. aBSHBBBBHHSBBSMSSSHSBBBBBBSSSBBSSSSHBBBSiBBSBBBBBBBSBBBV CITY NEWS NOTES. Mrs. John E.

The stock of leaf tobacco and cigar on hands is almost completely ruined and the loss is estimated at about $300. The Are wis kept confined to the room occupied by Wolf sua and did not reach the upper stories. "Monk" Wilson, saloonkeeper on Virginia avenue, was one of the flrst of a large crowd of people attracted to the sene. At that time smoke from the cigar store had crawled upwards and filled the entire building. A number of people occupying the upper floors were asleep.

He aroused the other sleepers with considerable trouble, as most of them were stupefied by the smoke. No one was seriously effected by the powerful fumes of the burning tobacco, but had it not been for the timely assist ance rendered results might have been mors serious. Pentdons for Veteran.

Anything that cures dyspepsia lifts about half the weight of misery that crushes mankind, and womankind. The trouble with most of the so-called dyspepsia -cures, is that they don't cure. They give only temporary relief. Indigestion usually extendi all through the digestive tract, from the stomach clear down to the large intestine ; the liver too is frequently involved in the trouble being torpid and inactive. For a thorough, radical, permanent cure you must have the w hole digestive organism set tight. Not violently Btirred up. but regulated. Doctor Tierce's Pleasant Pellets will do it They stimulate the digestive juices of the stomach ; invigorate the liver and help it to actively secrete the bile ; and act gently on the bowels to promote a regular healthy movement. This means a complete and lasting cure of digestive troubles. The " Tcllets " are not a severe cathartic. They act on the bowels naturally and comfortably though surely. The dose can be regulated to your needs, and when the "Pellets" have done their work they can be discontinued. You don't become a slave to their ue, as with other pills.
