12 THE'lOSTSTG OSEfctTStfiCS, MONDAY, TO2E 19, 1905. if P8RSIFAL" HEMRD B THOUSANDS Concert by tones' Band the Musical Success of the Season. MANY ARE TURNED AWAY Every Bit of Space in the Auditorium Is Crowded, While Hundreds Fail to Procure Scats and Are Disappointed. Exposition Attendance, 11,904. Reduced prlcm of admission on Sun day brought yesterday exposition attendance- to 11.904. or 5000 more .than It was last Sunday. Ecglnnlnc today, TYaehlncton cities will vlrit the Fair, and Jarre crowds of visitor are expected. Excurslonletu from Belllng ham, Everett. Snohomish, Port Town send, Port Angeles and Anacortea will be on tha grounds today, together with the Nebraska lumbermen. Last night's production of "Parsifal" in the Exposition Auditorium was suc cessful, far bej'ond expectation, for over 3500 persons listened to the wonderful strains of the consecrated stage festival that were produced by Innes' Band, while fully 1500 more were turned from the doors for lack of seats. Frederick Innes, under whose leadership the music was produced, expressed himself as be ing particularly pleased at the man ner in which Portland people turned out for the occasion, and thanked the audi ence for the way In which it had honored him and his associates. The Parsifal programme has been the talk of musical circles for many days, since it was first announced that Innes and his band would undertake the rendition of several selections from The great masterpiece of Richard Wag ner. As a result, the number .of persons that applied for admission to the Audi torium last night was all out of propor tion to the number of available seats. Boxes, trunks and instrument cases were quickly brought into action, but even with the seating capacity of the house thus greatly increased, hundreds were forced to sit on the stairs or remain out of doors. Many of those who were obliged to stay out of the hall sat on the steps or gathered around the stage entrances and listened to the music as it drifted out through the windows. The first part of the evening's pro gramme numbered several well-known se lections, such, as Chopin's "Funeral March" Xrom opus 25. "Karamenol Os tow" and "The Carnival of Venice." The latter was a cornet solo by Mr. Bohumlr Kryl. and was applauded to such an ex tent that Mr. Kryl responded with two encores. Explained "Parsifal to Crowd. Before the second half of the programme was commenced Mr. Innes prefaced the musical selections with a short analy tical and Introductory description of "Parsifal." together with examples of the various motifs that form the base of the numbers that were played last night. Mr. Innes" remarks were so clear and to the point that it was exceedingly easy for the members of the audience to fol low out the motifs he had explained and to note the manner In which they were, used throughout the selections that were played. The description was also enter taining from a. historical point of view. The Vorsplel and the Good Friday Mag ic Spell tv ere produced by the entire band, and were accorded hearty applause. Fol lowing these two pieces Miss Emma Part ridge sang the Temptation of Parsifal by Kundry. her soprano notes being particu larly well adapted for the production of this selection. The programme ended with the Procession of the Knights of the Holy Grail. Portland musical enthusiasts who had 'seats in the Auditorium expressed them selves as being particularly well pleased with the production made by Mr. Innes and his band. The large size of the or ganization, together with the expert man aer in which the members performed their parts, was particularly pleasing. Gratified at Success. "My associates and I feel particularly gratified and pleased at the splendid audi ence that has honored us this evening.' said Mr. Innes last night. "I want to express my appreciation for the way In which this concert has been received by music-lovers. '"Probably a good many of the members of my audience obtained their knowledge of Parsifal from the production made by Conried in New York last Winter. I de sire to say that there were thousands who attended these productions, and went home dissatisfied, simply because they had to listen through a large amount of music that was tiresome and uninterest ing. While some of the finest notes that liax'e ever been written are in this play, there remains still many that are not so Interesting, and over which it is unprof itable to spend too much time." WITH MILITARY HONORS l'uncral of Jesse H. Ttoblnson Is Conducted by His Comrades. The funeral of Jesse M. Robinson, who was a member of Company 2, Captain C. E. McDoncll. commanding. Second Oregon Volunteers, took place yesterday afternoon at Dunning' s undertaking chapel. East Sixth street, and was con cluded in Lone Fir Cemetery. The chapel was filled with Spanish-American War Veterans, comrades of the dead man when the regiment was sent from Oregon to the Philippine Islands. The casket was appropriately" draped with an American flag, and there were many beautiful floral tributes from friends. Chaplain W. S. Gilbert officiated and spoke very tender words in his funeral discourse. Then the services were concluded at the grave with taps and military honors, as he had requested when he found that he was not to recover. HOLD SCHOOL ELECTIONS Three Suburban Districts "Will Tote on Bond Issues Today. The most important school elections outside of Portland will be held this evening at St. Johns, Estacada and in the Lents district. In St. Johns the mat ter of issuing 510.000 in bonds for the erection of a 4-room addition to the pres ent .building will be voted on. While the bond Issue la expected, to be authorized there Is some opposition to the measure on the grounds that 310.000 is too much, and some want another school erected farther north. Advocates of the bond Issue answer the former objection with on array of figures to chow that the addi tion cannot be built and furnished un der 510.000. They also point to the fact that St. Johns district has already a school population of 600. and Is growing rapidly, and that even 4 rooms will hard ly furnish room enough for next rear. In the course of a year or two they say, the district will then be In position to erect another schoolhouse farther to the northward. A director and clerk wilt also be elected. In the Lents school district it is pro posed to add four rooms and an assembly hall to the present building, and the elec tion of a director will have much to do with carrying out these plans. A tax payers meeting Indorsed the building proposition and plans were adopted, leaving a proviso that the directors may make changes in the plans then adopted. It is proposed to spend this year 56000 j uu uic ficuuui uuiiuuiK. Jinismnjj up pan of the rooms and leaving the others for future contingency. Election in the Mount Tabor districts, including No. 5, South Mount Tabor and Montavilla, is not significant. No addi tions are to be built In these districts the coming year, although in Montavilla one or more rooms may have to be put up on the school grounds. At Estacada there will be a vote on the proposition to bond the district in the sum of 55000 for the erection of a modern school, which la expected to carry. BLOWS OUT HIS ORIS LEWIS KALLICH KILLS HIMSELF IX HOTEL. Leaves No Letter to Hcvcal Why He Took His Own Life Was Volunteer Fireman. Lewis Kallich, a member of the Wood lawn Volunteer Fire Department, com mitted suicide yesterday morning in his room at the Hotel Zur Rheinphalz, on Front street, by shooting himself in the head with a revolver, and blowing out hit; brains. Little is known of the suicide, other than that he has a brother in Woodlawn, who has been notified by the Coroner. Kallich engaged a room at the hotel about 11 o'clock Saturday night, and im mediately loft the building. He returned about 3 o'clock yesterday rriorning. and going to his room, lay down on the bed and shot himself. Only one cartridge had been fired. Kallich dropped the gun by the bedside and expired. No note or other evidence was left to throw any light on the cause of the act. The only article found on the body lead ing to the identity of the man was a small silver shield bearing the inscrip tion. W. A. F. D., No. S3. Kallich was a man about 25 years old and wore fairly good clothes. The Coro ner expects to hear from the brother in Woodlawn today, and until word has been received from him no steps will be taken for an inquest over the remains. The case, however, appears to be one of mere suicide. DEATH RATE IS VERY LOW Statistics Show Portland to Be a Fine Health Resort.
