"naif TTaathpr " whlph -will be seen at 4he Academy; of Mualc Saturday i night. Is a reversion to straight op-j era, the music by Reginald De Ko-; ven, book by Charlea Klein," author of David 'Warfleld'a success. "The Music Master," and of "The Lion and the! Mouse,", and lyrics by Charles Emer-I son Cook. The tory Is interesting1 and the thread of the plot is more closely followed than lias been usual of late. Mr. Cook's lyrics are sing-j atlo and clever and Mr. De Koven'a jnuslo is always satisfactory. There are at least a dozen musical numbers, all pleasing and many of them up .to the very best work that De Koven has ever done. Possibly with the in tention of surpassing his notable "Robin Hood" music, De Koven was most ambitious in his writing for the "Red Feather" score and he re- Millt is a glorious offering of solor. du ets, madrigal, marches, choruses and ensembles. In staging the opefla, the Zlegfeld Opera Company spared no expense in giving the piece the richest of mountings that could be Secured. For the prima donna role Manager Jos. M. Galte has engaged Miss Cheridah Simpson, a singer, of recog nized ability, who is an artist of alto gether different calibre from the usual run of comic opera stars. She h-as a splendid voice and a charming stage prcw-nce, Is a clever actress and is a very -welcome addition to the all too whort list of capable singers In light opera. Particularly pleasing are her entrance hoi.i, "To Call Thee Mine." and the song "Garden of Dreamff." In the company, which Is one of the largert on tour, there are a number of well-known comedians and a large and well-sehoole-d chorus. A feature of the looa.1 presentation will be the augmented orchestra. A special mr -Inee for ladies and children will be given Saturday afternoon. "PARSIFAL." A play as broad In Jt.s Interests as humaniiy Itself. Elaborate and spec tacular In production, fweird In its portrayal of the elemental passions, absorbing a a dream of the .highest good, yet keen and intense In its ap peal to the Individual; such Is tne description of the Wagner wonder drama which Charlotte l-j again to set; In Ms new English dress at the Acad emy Monday, October 7th. It Is gen erally conceded to be a condition of dramatic rt that human Interests must be paramount, and this condi tion has been complied with In the translation of "Parsifal." Abstract Ideas und poetic fancies are mude real 1n the characters and experiences of living persons. The faith that good shall be the final goal of 111, forms the legend wrought out to certitude In the action of the play. The futility of low cunning, cr-aft, duplicity and all the unlovely brood of the nether 'world, when opposed by the nobler Intelligent which compre hends, but disregards them all.

' A guileless fool In the eyes of the foolish not by wraih, nof by cynic ism, nor by cheap worldly wisdom, but by pity enlightened. - An it.jnortarl Parsifal" Is a tre- (mendcus enterprise; the scenery is on a iavish scale and tne Illuminations and eleciric effects form a striking feature or the production. An aug mented orchestra of twenty musicians will render the soul-stirring strains of "Parsifal" us an -accompaniment to the-wondrous text. ,. The hour of commencement will differ from that of the former cus tom, the long dinner Intermission hav ing teen eliminated now permits of giving the play at. one sitting.

The correspondent believes that a change ha taken place In puhllo'sen tlment with regard to the proposed bond issue for paving the streets. Six months ago it was not a popular measure, but with a full vote it would probably now be carried. With the burnt district.

Its capacity is ' 25-.000 spindles and 800 looms, one-half npw running and the remainder to be' soon installed. A striking feature In its archl.ecture is the smoke stack, 157 feet high, of concrete. It looks eolid enough to be standing there on - the 28th of September, 2907, unless t an .atnquake topples It over. The Vic tory Manufacturing Company will, about the flrsc of the coming" year, build a 1-arge print mill. Ten years ago Superintendent Jones was a schoolboy at Drewry's Military Acad emy.
