Two Unfamiliar Operas.
'Pique Dame" and "Mermaid" Said
to Be Hare Production. .
THE Russian Grand Opera com
pany, newly arrived from a tour
of the far east, will open its en
gagement at the Heillg tomorrow
night with the Tschaikowsky dra
matic opera "Pique Dame." Thurs
day night, "Carmen" will be given;
Friday night, "Mermaid"; Saturday
afternoon, "Pique Dame," and Satur
day night, "Rigolctto." Two of .these
operas are well known in this city
"Carmen and "Rigoletto" but the
others "Pique Dame" and "Mermaid"
are not familiar.
In the Tschaikowsky opera "Pique
Dame," the story is written by Alex
ander Tushkln, according to a legend
that circulated at tho time of the
Russian empress, Catherine the
Great. The plot begins in a summer
garden at St. Petersburg, where a
group of friends meet, and among
them is Herman, a young officer. He
tells his friends about his love for a
wonderful girl, whose name is Liza,
the fiancee of Prince Elezky. Prince
Tomsky tells the group about the old
countess. Liza's grandmother, who
knows three magic cards with which
she always wins. At Liza's home,
there is a party before the wedding.
Girls sing old Russian songs, and
Liza's governess comes and says these
songs are out of fashion. She sends
the girls home. Liza remains alone.
She thinks about her engagement
with a man she does not love and
about the stranger she loves. Her
man comes in through the open door
of a balcony. He speaks to Liza about
his love. Herman goes to the bed
room of the countess and asks her to
tell him the secret of her winning
combination of cards, threatening her
with death if she refuses. The
countess, in fright, falls dead. In a
vision, the countess tells Herman the
secret, "Three, seven, ace." Think
ing that Herman is mad, Liza throws
herself Into the river. Herman has
bad luck at cards, and he takes his
life.

POSTAL FORCE IS TAXED
DELUGED WORKERS GETTING
OUT FROM UNDER.
Hundreds of Thousands of Christ
mas Greeting Cards Feature
of Holiday Mall.
Several hundred thousand Christmas
greeting cads and letters have been
mailed in Portland within the last
few days, flooding postal workers
with an assortment of odd-ehaped en
velopes which it Is necessary to can
cel by hand. To wade through the
pile many clerks have been on duty
at the postoffice for 17-hour shifts.
Yesterday saw all of the mail re
ceived up to midnight Sunday dis
tributed and today will see mail de
liveries back to normal, said Post
master Jones last night. Letters
parcels and cards have been cleared
up In good shape and, though many
packages still are being received
through the mail, they will be deliv
ered promptly.
"The public apparently heeded our
advice about mailing early, so far as
parcels are concerned." said the post
master, "for packages appear to have
been mailed about a day earlier than
usual. Christmas cards have nearly
swamped us the last few days,
though, for many were not put in the
mail until the last minute. The vol
ume of incoming business may ex
ceed that of last year by nearly 15
per cent."
Although the mall was decreasing,
the force of extra men and extra
trucks was not reduced yesterday.
There are still plenty for all clerks
and carriers to do. Besides, the first
signs of the second holiday rush. New
Tear's mail, made their appearance
during the day, and lots of people who
got Christmas cards from people they
didn't send any to made haste to
make amends by dispatching New
Year's greetings Immediately. An
other factor In the load which the
pOBtoffice has to carry and which also
made itself evident Is the volume of
"thank you" notes sent out immedi
ately after Christmas and, although
Postmaster Jones didn't read any of
them, he said the character of out
going mail indicated that a large
number of these had already been
sent by prompt, grateful and con
scientious persons.
