Iclicacics Brought to llo:m Women - Who Come f?r Yi-it in SjXH ial C ar.
Christmas came again yesterday at the Orphans' homo. It came in tho form of delicious jell;es and jarm. home made sandwiches, and other delicacies. Motherless children, dependent in a measure upon others charitably inclined, wer th" guests Tuesday ef a delegation of W. C. T. F. women from Elkhart. They came 01 strong bent upon providing th- orphanage with all tho treats front their own tables. It was a day of rare t ntertainment for tho boys and girls at the home. Likewise, it was a treat to the temperance ptople from the neighboring city. For most of thent, they told tho employ, s of the home who conducted them through th institution, it was a first visit. The special car brought the delegation to the home. Immediately exerci.u's wer held in the chapel on the third lloor. Poys and girls who accompanied their mothers from Elkhart participated in the exercises as did the orphans. After the services, the provisions were unstocked. the si eno ehaimed to tho dining room, and the boys and girls literally dived into the bountiful supply set before tin m. The W. C. T. F. women served the repast, they th'inseives dining with the' empleiyes alter the children had eaten. It made a glorious day for the boys and girls, and the Christmas aftermath was one of joyous rc-joiclt.g.

artistic manner, the audience idled but hilf the theater. Though the doubl program ef tho evening. "Cavallerla Bustieano," Maseagni, itv.il "I Pagliaeci." Iooncavallo. was much be-tter attended, the patronage was not sufficient to assure financial success. In spite of this fact. Messrs. MacHenry and Ingersoll are to bo congratulated for bringing to the city an aggregation of singers so well deserving of the appreciation which '.us not s'ovv in forthcoming from those who were foitunate enough b hear them. Nor did all the appreciation fall to the singers, for the orchestra, so ably directed by Ouiseppe Argellini, was several times given an enthusiastic ovation. In the
evening particularly was this true.
when it rendered so brilliantly tho "Intermezzo" from "Cavalleria Pustieano." "I I'agliaeri" Best. If it is possible to say that one of the operas proved more popular than another that distinction must bo given to "I Pagiiacei." the last of the three. Its intensely dramatic roles were very ably handled by Manuel Salazar as Canio. Angelo Antola as Tonio, Mario Kaestner as Nedda, Luciano Rossini as llarl -inin, and Ltligi Halle Molk as Silvio. Sophie Charlebois was scheduled to take the part of Nedda, but owing to her illness. Miss Kaestner was substituted. She is a dramatic soprano ef marked ability, whoso beautiful voice was rendered more emotionall. effective by excellent acting. The most decided hit of the piece, however, was made by Saiaxar in his remarkable rendition of the famous sole. "Vesti La Jiuba." Though the program announced G- iseppe Agostini in this part, Af-'ostini had been switched to the
afternoon program in the luca di Mantua, in which

that a repetition was demanded. auenuea uy men Agostini was most satisfactory in his' tate circles. Go
interpr tatiorl of 'Li Donna Mobile." Aldi M)risini, who appoared in the evening as '-Santuza," betrayed by "Altio." was excellent. Her voic was rich anl full, her stage presence most phasing and her histrionic cbility of a high order. Alfredo Graziana as Allio. and Anna Haa.-e as Mamma Lucia, were equally good. With but one or two minor exception the company was made up of artists whose voices and histrionic ability were all that had been claimed for th'-m. 1 1 was really a remarkable assemblage of singers, and
South I'end music lovers owe them I i
tho debt of an afternoon and evening of rare enjoyment.

SAMPLE STREET BOYS TO BUILD SKATING RINK
Fifty members of tho Sample st. i civic center attended tho meeting of the organization held Tuesday
night at the portable school. The boys of the club decided to start work em the construction of a skating rink near the school today. Tho appointment of committees to handle the affairs of the community center was pestponed until the next meeting of the club, which will be held Thursday evening. Jan. j.
It was one each for county treasurership aspirants Tuesday, with the announcement that Ed Roller, C02 N. Notre Iame a v., and connected with the realty interests here, would be a democratic candidate subject to the primaries. And another republican possibility was broached in G. A. Elliott. South Bend attorney, and ex-county chairman of the g. o. p., who is harkening slightly at least to the approaches of his friends. This makes it five up for the republicans with three also up for the democrats.
New strength is reported sweeping the state, and supporters of Col. Harry S. of Indianapolis are jubilant. However, when an Indianapolis correspondent said things stranger than the withdrawal of James Watson from the race might happen, he said a mouthful, according to a state dispatch. It seems the Hon. Jim is not so particular about the Fnited .states senatorship as it might appear. He would take it. yes, if there wasn't something better in sight. The dope seems to bo that this senator affair is onlv- a .stepping stone and that James E. of Pushville has his eyes e n a certain distant convention, to be held in Chicago, and that tho fruits he expects to seek at that time deal directly with the republican presidential choice. "Bunk," shouts a South Bend republican, and hunk it may be. but "stranger things than the withdrawal of Watson from the race" are predicted, and what could be closer to the superlative In strange
