With the applause of London. Berlin

capitulated. The Strausa opera bouffe.
In which Bernard Shaw's "Arma and the
Man" (that most amusing of satires on
warring; Bulgarian baa been turned about
and made over Into as good a libretto as
one may reasonably expect, la undoubt
edly to have such a success locally as no
other musical clay has had.
The Chocolate 8oldler" Is superlative.
In everr resrject. musically. llbrettlea:
ly. productively and certainly so with
regard to the cast, taken Individually
and collectively. .
Oscar Strauss has found In Shaw's
pleasantry material for real opera bouffe
and around tne xew incidents in mo io
of the choeolate soldier of fortune,
"Bluntschle." the Swiss captain of Ser
vian troorje. he has composed music
solendldly new. In no way reminiscent,
that sparkles and talks, dances, ro
mances, lanshs and leaps In continuous
melodic rhythms.
Score Is Tuneful.
It Is music that 1" not only of great
charm, but moves at times In massive
fiUdlty. a bulwark of tunefulneA
Throughout lta score runs a decided cur
rent of humor that Is most fitting to the
cynicism of the Celtic author of Its lln,
and the orchestration Is characteristic of
the Eastern Balkan regiona In which the
scene of the opera is laid.
ru-gtnnlng In exquisite serenity and all
nuletness with Nadlne retiring In her
bedchamber, the action and music be
come with the entrance of "the chocolate
soUiler" mora and more animated and
full of fire until the denoument at the
finals of the second act Is reached, when
a wonderful culmlnative climax Is de
veloped, that In volume and lrapreswtre
r.ess can be apthr and artistically com
pared to the finale In the second act of
the grand opera "Alda."
This one splendidly dominant part of
Ptrauo opera would authoritlvely give
to It the success It haa thus far achieved,
but It posnesses many other musical
cumbers that breathe individuality and a
po-ttlve genius for combination.
"Sly Hero" I Motif.
The arhi. "My Hero." the motif of the
entire score, the rousing march move
ment, barbaric In color and grotesque,
whlrh Massakroff and his Bulgarian sol
diers sin, the several duets and finally
the "Letter Song." In the third act. are
all of particular strength and beauty.
An opera bouffe such as Strauss' with
Its rich musical score demands primarily
men who can act also; it calls, too,
for an orchestra of nearly grand opera
proportions, and It requires a tnusienl
conductor who ran dominate and ho'd
ticrther all these elements collectively
as well as separately, for the adequate
and harmonious expression of the whol?.
The singers who are with the Whitney
Opera Company at the llclllg are of
such uniform excellence that one Is con
strained to name each individual In or
der to mete out half justice to their
ttuttral art and histrionics.
It Is difficult to conceive of anyone
superior to Antoinette Kopetsky In the
role of the Bulgarian coquette, Nadlra.
Iter beautiful, clear and high soprano
voice Is of grand opera caliber and she
l an excellent target for any discrim
inating eve. In the highest degree she
pussexea the sest of art.' the liquid
pre of song, and the mentality of
music, and with the progress of the
fPra her lovely person expresses, all
these things.
rjigllsh Is Perfect.
The young Miss Kopetsky Is said to
have come from Prague, but her Eng
lish is exquisite and perfoct. the most
difficult numbers in the score being
given by her with a virtuosity that
make them absolutely effortless. Her
technical ability as a songstress does
not Interfere with her dramatic sense,
and her pantomime Is a delight.
Krr aria. "My Hero.- In the first act

the last session, permitting Western
States to relinquish scattered school sect
tlons in forert reserves and take In ex
change equal and compact area of forest

bill would have passed the Senate at the
last session and become a law, but for
the objection of Senator Heybum. who
maintains thla exchange would be un
constitutional. Senator Borah has al
ways taken the opposite v'ew and haa
fa-ored the passage of the bill. .
Senator Jones of Washington and' lev

that these exchanges be authorized, so
their respective states can g've up scat

ketable becauae of their Isolation, snd
take in exchange compact bodies of sim

not oppose the bill If provision Is In
serted to the effect that no such changes
shall be made In Idaho. This plan. Sen
ator Jones thinks, should be followed.
but It Is understood Senator Borah will
not be willing to consent to any such
amendment, but will favor the passage
of the bill as it came from the House, so
Idaho can benefit along with other West
ern States.

Ten Improvement Clubs In Portland
to Tie Asked to Aid Promoters In
Making; the Occasion a Suc
cessInterest Is Keen.
Peninsula boosters till this week begin
earnest work in preparation for the reg
ular annual "Rose Planting day." which
Is to be celebrated on February 12
Washington's birthday.
A number of novel features hare al
ready been taken up. Among them Is the
unique Idea of having a boy and girl
selected from each of the 10 improvement
clubs affiliated with the Peninsula Rose
Festival Association. The little girl will
bold the rose bush In position while the
lad from the same district will have
charge of packing the earth around the
tree. In connection with this plan J. H.
Kolta. who Is taking the lead In the ar
rangements, will ask that each of these
clubs furnish the particular variety of
rose bush which it desires to plant on
this occasion.
It has been thought better to set out
only a small number of select varieties
of roses on the annual planting day and
then, later In the season, the entire park
tract, which s to be made a rose garden,
may be dedicated to that purpose. ,
The occasion is to be made an event
of state-wide importance, for among the
prominent speakers to be invited to de
liver addresses at the celebration la Gov
ernor West as the representative of the
stale. Mayor Simon will be requested to
speak on behalf of the City of Portland.
President Hoyt will appear for tbe Rose
Festival, as will also Secretary Emmet
Drake.
The Portland Rose Society, which has
had general charge of former Rose
Planting days, wU be represented by
Mrs. Dr. A. C. Panton, president of the
society.
Inasmuch as Seattle has recently or
ganised a rose society. President Sher
brooke will be asked to be Portland's
guest on that day and speak on behalf of
rose culture in Seattle.
Rev. Spencer S. Sulllger, of Vancouver,
Wash., one of the most noted rose fan
ciers of the Northwest, who recently re
turned from abroad, will be asked to give
a short talk on rose shows and culture In
England, where he attended a number of
National floral expositions.
The Peninsula district has a band of
40 pieces which has furnished music at
many of the recent floral festivities and
this organization will furnish a pro
gramme of popular numbers during the
roe-plantlng ceremonies.

Xew York City Cliambcrlaln, Missing;
88 Days; Ierlares That While on
Florida Houseboat He Did
Not Know of Sensation.
NEW YOrhv. Jan. 15. Charles H.
Hyde, New York City's Chamberlain,
missing for 38 days, arrived from Flori
da this afternoon and alighted from his
train, jaunty, calm and smiling.
Of tbe closing of two banks con
taining 800,000 in city funds, of which
he was a custodian, he would say noth
ing. Of the graft Investigation, now
adjourned, he talked more freely.
Briefly, as far as he was concerned.
It was "all bosh." The Merrltt com
mittee, it will be recalled, tried for
more than a month to subpena Hyde as
a witness, others having testified that
he was at a meeting where a 1500,000
corruption fund .was raised in an at
tempt to defcaVTUe anti-betting ouis at
Albany.
Hyde Makes Denials.
All this and more Mr. Hyde denied.
The committee had ample time to get
him before he left New York, he said,
and he remained away solely on account
of his health. Passing most of his
time on a houseboat, he was out of
touch with the world, he said, knew
nothing of the furore caused by his
absence, and did not learn until Friday
last of the closing of the banks.
Then, he said, he hurried back to
his duties, prepared to be at his desk
tomorrow morning, and to stick to his
Job. Suggestions of resignation he met
with emphatic negatives.
"This graft Investigation stuff Is all
bosh." declared Mr. Hyde. "I left this
city because of ill health, and for no
other reason. For three months before
I departed, the investigation committee
was in session. I was about the city
hall every day. but I never had any
suggestion from any member of the
committee, or from anybody outside
the committee that I was wanted.
Hyde Xot Approached.
"Everybody else waa subpenaed who
waa wanted. Nobody approached me.
I had no reason to assume that I was
wanted. And as to the alleged corrup
tion fund, why, I don't know tbe peo
ple they said I met with to raise the
boodle.
"I intend to continue In the faithful
performance of my duties as City
Chamberlain," Mr. Hyde continued. "I
have no intention of resigning now."
"Do you mean that you may resign
later?1
"Oh. well. I cannot say what I shall
do later.", he replied. "It is not my
Intention to resign, although I have
wanted to resign for six months on
account of the nulsUnce of detectives
and reporters."
GRANTS PASS UNCERTAIN
City to A6k Supreme Court If It Is
"Wet" or "Dry."
MEDFORD, Or.. Jan. 15. (Special.)
Whether Grants Pass shall be "wet" Is
a question to be settled by the Supreme
Court. This announcement was made
by District Attorney Mulkey here to
day. A hearing of the case will be
held before Judge Calkins at Grants
Pass next week.
The question to be settled is: "How
far does the recent home rule amend
ment passed at the November election
modify the local option law In cities?"
Josephine County voted "dry" in No
vember, but the citizens of Grants
Pass held that the amendment con
ferred upon them the right to decide
Immediately whether they wished to
countenance the sale of liquor. In the
Harrlsburg case. Attorney - General
Crawford ruled that a "wet" or "dry"
election could not be held in a city
or county which had Just voted "dry"
for two years. The District Attorney's
office will endeavor to show that the
Grants Pass election was held prematurely.

Sick Kidneys Make You
Feel Sick in Many
Ways.
It ueed to be thought that a cross,
nervous person had a "bad disposi

condition often results from kidney
trouble.
There Is a great deal of uric acid
maJe In the human body. It is the
duty of the kidneys to filter off this
uric add, but when the kidneys are
weak, the poison Is peddled about the
body by the blood, and It irritates tho
whole nervou system, causing head
ache, diriy spells, fits of "blues," neu
ralgic attacks, rheumatic pain, weak
eyesight, dull, tired days, and a con
stant inclination to worry over trifles.
You feel as if you can't stand any
noise about yeu. The little ones often
wonder what makes mother so cross
and nervous. The business man is ill
tempered with his help- and makes a
big fuss over every little thing that
goes wrong.
Another effect of uric poisoning is
dropsy, or bloating puffy pouches be

and limbs.
Kidney trouble makes urination Ir

You can't afford to neglect weak

Doan's Kidney Pills strengthen sick
kidneys, cure backache, regulate the

Mrs. A. S. Cummlngs, 244 Clackamas
street. Portland, Oregon, says: "The
public statement I gave In 1903 recom
mending Doan's Kidney Pills still holds
good. This remedy relieved me at that
time of a severe attack of kidney and
bladder trouble. I till take Doan's
Kidney Pills occasionally and find that
they prevent kidney disorders to which
elderly folks are subject. Other mem
bers of my family have also received
great benefit from Doan's Kidney
Pills."
