PUBLIC AND PRESS MUST

BE PATIENT Council Must Also Bide Its Time in Connection with Settlement of the Franchise Questions. (Continued from Page One-) So discussion on thia matter and it wai dropped when the resolution was withdrawn. Although Councilman Weishaupt, who seconded the motion to pass the resolution refused to withdraw his second, the resolution was recorded as withdrawn. Gas Held Inferior. That the present quality of gas is inferior was the substance of the statements of Keveral councilmen They declared that step? should be taken to force the L H & P. company to furnish better gas, as It is far below the standard in heat units. The mayor admitted this fact and aid that Fred R. Charles, city civil engineer and member of the board of storks, has made tents of the gas and ilias found it to be below the standard In British thermal units. Following the discussion of the gas and water franchises Mayor Zimmerman appointed Matt Von Pein, coun-cllman-at-large, chairman of the contracts and franchises committee, to jfili the vacancy caused by the resignation of Councilman Frank Waidele, of the Seventh ward. Mr. Waidele resigned the chairmanship on account 'or his health. In making the appointment the mayor stated that when Mr. Waidele feels jtbat he has recovered sufficiently to ttake up the work as head of the committee be will reappoint him. Councilman Von Pein accepted the chairmanship of the most Important committee In council with the statement that bo would attempt to fill the position as efficiently as Mr. Waidele, although he said he was sure he could do no better than Mr. Waidele. Mrs. A. R. Tabor, of Crlder. Mo., had been troubled with sick headache for about fire years, when she began tak: tag Chamberlain's Tablets. She has taken two bottles of them and they have cured ber.

Hew This Great System Swailowe Up the Litter ef the Streets. Tbe Parle sewer system is said to be the finest in tbe world. Tbe observant visitor In tbe French capital soon notices that its people have somewhat different Ideas from ours as to the use of sewers, for he will see porters throw big bandies of paper down large openings left in tbe curb, and even rags 'and garbage. On Shrove Tuesday there is a carnival along tbe Paris boulevards. , From noon to midnight the crowd throws paper confetti in such quantitles that the broad streets are covered wltb many tinted paper snow when the last revelers leave for home. 'The visitor wonders how this mess Is 'to be cleared up. In tbe morning, bowever, every scrap is gone. If he bad tayed out late enough he would have . aeon the litter swept and washed right Into tbe sewers. Perhaps that takes him underground ;to visit them, one of the Bights of raris. There are nearly 2,000 separate .channels, some great aqueducts navigated in a boat, with walks on either aide. They carry tbe telephone and telegraph cables, electric light' wires, gas main and pneumatic letter tubes. ' Telephone Review. Her Say te.

St The Theaters AT THE GENNETT. The Aborn English Grand Opera Company, one of the best known operatic organizations in this country which plays long engagements in Boston, New York, Chicago and other of tbe metropolises of America, and which recently was in Indianapolis for a week, where it played and sang to crowded houses, appeared last evening at the Gennett in "Martha," one of tbe standard and familiar operas, with whose music almost every-one is more or less familiar. While the Aborn Company did not put on some of its more notable soloists here, since opera companies of its status must vary their castes, the principals had voices of agreeable calibre, and, in the case of Miss Jane AV ercrombie, who took the leading role, of distinction. The story of the opera is too well known to recapitulate, suffice to say it has for its setting "rural England in the time of Queen Anne," as the program succinctly describes it, with the apropos costuming and mise en scene. Miss Abercrombie, as "Martha," the center about which tbe dramatic action revolves, and, by her charming personality and beautiful voice, focussing the interest of the audience, lent realism to the presentation of Flotow's herone, with ber disdainful air, and hauteur and caprices of the fine lady. Miss Abercrombie is the possessor of a coloratura soprano of much flexibility which she handles with dexterity and musical eclat, her cadenzas being unforced and smooth and her climaxes admirably sustained. Her lack of artificiality, indeed, was noticeable and one of her charms, one which appealed to the lay public which is apt to baae its unformed criticisms on such unessentlals which are, after all, Important in effects achieved. Tbe soprano soloist, in fact, captivated her audience, especially with her presentation of "The Last Rose of Summer." Mr. Leonid Samoloff, who sang in the role of her lover, "Lionel" the part being mistakenly on the program as sung by Domenico Russo was convincing dramatically, his voice having timbre and vigor of color but being a trifle strained in certain tones, possibly by overuse. As the lyric tenor of operatic tradition, however, he made an appeal and in his solo numbers as well as those with the soprano tang with so much effect that he was recalled. Of the other two principals. Mr. William Sbuster. as "Plunkett." and Miss" Elaine de Sellem. as "Nancy." tbe companion of "Martha." the latter was the better histrion. Miss de Sellem, indeed, being a clever actress and Investing her characterization with much vivacity, ber mezzo-soprano being rich in tone. Mr. Shuster took the part of the bluff farmer consistently being the possessor of baritone of sustained quality. The chorus was not overwhelming but made an effective tonal background for the voices of the principals and their ensemble singing was equable enough. Altogether the appearance of this operatic organization in Richmond was notable In Its way and gave its audience much pleasure. It must be said, however, that Richmond Is a curious place. If you say It is not a musical and art center people Jump np and down and foam at the mouth and shriek "knocker and some Individual howla for the lime-light and says "see what I have done for the town." Why Is it then that the Aborn Grand Opera Company, of whose standing

9 CI and existence there is no reason for the person of average intelligence, who reads the papers whether musical or not, being ignorant, plays to a corporal's guard in tbe famed art center while the ten cent vaudeville is packed from pit to dome and not, be it : said, by the vulgar oafs, but also by I the alleged leaders of supposed culture? I Mr. Murray truly says he is not a ! philanthropist. He is willing, and has : tried, to bring the best that can be bought to a town of this size, and with what result? The usual corporal's guard. Be not deceived. Theater managers are not mocked. For whatsoever the public sows, that does it reap. And its certain to reap a nice harvest of theatric thistles in Richmond since, with two exceptions, every "first class attraction," either musical or dramatic that has : been here this season has not been patronized. The truth is this is the worst old fake of a town on the map in matters artistic. You can placard the country with large cards pointing the way to Richmond the "art center." But you'll have to show 'em something after you get here. . And there's nothing to show but a lot of frauds standing round shouting "Look this way. I'm IT." E. G. W. AT THE MURRAY. The "Merry Minstrel Maids" hold sway at the Murray this week to the entertainment of the audience. Mr. Billy Hawthorne, one of tbe Maids' end men, does an amusing 6tunt prior to his introduction in the role of the former, as "The Senator," who delivers a mock political speech which is funny enough. Acrobats are always interesting. People admire physical strength and "The Four Everetts" are unusually effective. They are, In fact, uncommonly good and worth the "price of admission." E. G. W. EXHIBIT OF CATTLE (National News Association) EFFINGHAM, III, Jan. 16. The exhibit of full bred dairy cattle at the ! armory in this city which constitutes one of the leading features of the annual convention of the Illinois State Dairymen's association, the opening session of which was held here today, is attracting considerable attention among dairymen from all parts of the State. The convention will continue i until Thursday and during the three jdays many interesting and instructive demonstrations of butter making and testing will be given, as well as several lectures upon dairy subjects by 'noted experts. Matter and Force. There is no such thing as a loss ot matter or force. Tbe so called "conservation' of matter and its forces was demonstrated years ago by Joule and other scentists. When, for instance, a thing "burns up," as we say, the substances that give out the light and heat are changed, not destroyed. The wood or whatever the substance happens to be becomes ashes and gas, and If we could gather up all the products of the burning wo should find that they had not lost a particle of their weight and that the form of them only was changed. The eternity of matter was a teaching of the old Greek philosophers, or of some of them at least, and the modern teaching of the conservation or Indestructibility of the stuff of the universe would seem to corroborate the ancient Ideav New York American.

Major is tbe name of tbe chief of the highly prized and carefully protected tribrt of Barbary apes that inhabit the rock of Gibraltar. There is a saying in tbe fortress to the effect that it were "better to kill the governor than Major." There are only about twenty left of this band of monkeys, which In some mysterious manner came over from Africa many years ago and claimed citizenship In Europe. They are pro tected by martial law, and any addition by birth to their number Is carefully chronicled and announced In tb local paper. The apes change theii place of residence from the highest peaks of the rock to lower and more sheltered portions and back again, according to the state of the weather. They show their sense of humor by throwing stones at the soldiers, bul they are often not seen for weeks at a time save In the early morning. - A few years ago, on account of the diwitntahfay numbers of these miw!, some apes were procured from Barbary and turned loose upon the rock Bnt resident monkeys killed them all Although so fierce to Intruders of tbeta own kind, they never attack human beings and aro greatly beloved and .New York
