Wludy City.
Matorna sang In the Thomas concert
at the Auditorium last vseek and we
went to hear her. The music was all
Wagtersan, save the first uumoer
which, to our liifluite delight, proved
to be none other thau Heel hoveti
wonderful fifth symphony.
One must become accustomed to
Wanner before It l possible to appre
ciate ' hit tenipestoua melodies; tne
lieavy clang and clash I rather trying
to the nerve oi an uruiuij
who doe not know enough and care
enough to follow the theme through
all the clamor of a full orchestra.
Wagner Is great, no doubt of that; but
when it comes to a question of great
ne nature fur surpasses hiru. Wuen
one has listened through long slum
berotis afternoons to the nuiidofthe
surf, the splendid harmonies played by
0 1 Ocean upon sliver sands, and
hfard the myriad voice of wind and
wuvesand alghing pines at night, lu
some lonely cabin ou the edge of the
world, one is very sure to find in man
made innslo eomo eweet note want-
'"ftut I was going to tell you about
Muterna. And Materua It beloved by
the iuulcal people or Chicago. 1 he
vast Auditorium, was Oiled to the
foyer in evidence of their aflcotiou.
The beautiful fifth symphony was
followed by "rarllal.'r Wagner's last
opera, which ho uever yet been beard
iiimiu any stage outside of Bayreutu.
Tlie terms of the composer' will for
bid lis production uutil hlseonSleg
Wed atiain'e his majority. The pre
lude reminds one somewhat or
Lohengrin, and when It was ended
Muterna appeared and made her way
to the U In dor's platform amid enthu
slaslli: aplause.
Materna! She Is well named. She
might moll erlhe whole human race.
Her weight, ovoirduiols, Is not wbove
300 pounds, 1 think; her yellow satin
gown wa tisi short In front by several
inches and tight, so tight that poor
Materna was compelled to lift herself
liilteoutof It every time she drew a
full breath. Hut then she sang sang
as few women can sing. Her voice i
rlch and strong, iisauy voice must Le
that aspires to Wagner. In this con
cert adaptation of Parsifal she, of
course, iinpi rsouates "Kuudry," the
wicked temptrefe, who is sent to lure
the hero on to ruin. At first Parslful
listens to her tender and passionate
pleading; but he Anally repulses her.
It was a long series of vocal athletics,
but Materna saug spleudldly through
to the end and seemed none the worse.
1 can not suy as much for some of hei
audience. The third act, the "God
Friday Spell," proved rather trying,
and we were immensely relieved when
It ended in a triumphant and deafen
ing clush iu which all the Instruments
of the huge orchestra Joined.
The most enjoyable number, aside
from the symphony, was the "Hide of
the Vulkyiles," from the opera of "The
Valkyrie." It l as wild and weird
and suggestive as anything ever
plsyed in coucert.
Materna came on again at the lust
and sang the death song of liruuhllde.
Of course It wa magnlllceut. It rnusi
have been because everybody said so.
I am, as I before remarked, uot edu
cated to a liking for Wagner, and it is
duesoltlr to this lack of a musically
cultured taste tint 1 am prompted to
prefer the scream of the sea gulls, and
the shrieking of the wind iu a tempest
to Materua's spleudid voice.
There I at O'Urieu's, on Wabash
Avenue this week an exhibition lu
black and white that is by fur the
most Interesting I have ever seen. II
It Hetiton is th prince of cartoonists.
Ills work Is exquisitely charming and
bright; but never coarse in any -ingle
line. In this collection uf original
drawings, some hundreds of them,
there is uot a dull orstupiaoit. ins
work as seen in this exhibit proves
hiiu not only the first and best of car
toonists, but an artist as well.
There has been much said and
written about the Dore gallery which
seems to be traveling around the
world In March of a piiichaser. We
have only recently seen these paint
ings. From what I knew of Dore's
style I did not feel drawn toward this
exhibition: but I was not quite pre
pared for the reality or It. The mam
moth canvasses All four rooms iu the
south wing of the Art Institute on
Michigan Avenue ana evury ot:e or
these looms Is a chumlier of horrors.
There was one picture that fascinated
me. it is cauea -ccce noiuo- and
represents Christ standing iiimiii the
steps ot the Pnetorium clad In the
purple robe and crownea with thorns.
It is the robo that is so dreadful. As
it fulls about the feet of the divine flg-
ure It seems alive with color, se ins to
creep and quiver; It Is like the life
blood of some- fashly slain victim;
anything more fearfully fascinating
surely wa never put on canvas.
"Come," I orled to thoso with me,
"let us get away rroiu this awful
thing." Hut In the uext room we
came uoon "llie urisiteii rcrpeiu," a
worse horror, If a were were possible
It ha been rumored that Chlmgo
might be persuaded to buy this Dore
gallery of paintings. She should;
they will harmonize well with her
abutniios, the city's pride.
After all Dore wss a woudcrrul not
an artist but something very nearly
approaching one. One uiijht call hiiii
a deformed gen I in, a distorted, lurid
genius.
it was a reiier to emerge irotu tins
baptism of terror aud to rest our tired
and stricken eye upon something
sweet and pure; s- we went down
stairs aud looked at the flying Mercury
lu luouze. li turned to tie only a
plaster cast treat"d to a coat of bronze
paint, inn wnai oritv inenying
Mercury Is always a delight to the eye
and a satisfaction to the soul no matter
whether In bronze, marble or plaster

Editor Guakd:-Io your Issue of
March 6th you are pleased to statu
that the W C T U iiud a "live meet
ing," also "disagreed upon the tnon
ageinent of public schools." For the
benefit of the public, we will clve you
the truth. The W C T U always havo
"live meetings." We discuss no dead
Issues. We leave those reinuins for
the friends to inter. Our questions
are all or vital Interest. Among them
"school ailulrs" stand prominent, not
local merely, but general. The fact
that every state iu the Union, except
three, have a Scientific Temperance
Instruction !law on lis statute books,
and that this I the wotk of the
Woiuens I'hrlsilan Temperance Union
emphasizes the fact. We are not
antagonistic) to teachers, but are fellow
laborer with them in the Immortal
work of character building
The regular meeting of March 4th
was conducted In the usual quiet, yet
earnest manner, the program ;having
been formed some time liefore. The
discussion was conducted in a Chris
tian spirit and courteous urinuer by
our W C T U women. The wi s object
was to interest and gain Information
on the sullied of "school affairs." If
there were any that "disagree!," it
was those to whom our courtesies were
due, os guests. The Indies of our
organization aio Christian women of
culture who do not stoop to "wranglo"
aud "qusirel," even when v.e limy
dilter In opinion.
The W C T U docs not hold "private"
meetings, as It is not a secret society,
nor does It ufllliuto with such orders.
W feel It a disgrace to our intelligent
public that this statement of the work
and aim of of our well known order is
deemed reccssary. Ttie meetings on
March 6th and Gth at Mount's hall
were called by one not a member of
the W C T U, "to the women of Eu-
fjene Interested lc clvio afttkirs," and
tave no connection with the W C

You is for a pure press and a pure

der investigation for sometime by ofll
cers of that Institution, and the matter
hus been traced to the door of a few
dirty political rlngsters who do not
hesitate to stoop to anything, who con
ceived this pluu for the purpose of iu
luring the standing of the American
Protective Association, but their ob
ject has been thwarted.
