When ever the drama of any nation becomes, in 'the idea of the public and of the oryici who is the puonc specialised, i decadent theatre.

TEST CARUSO'S VOICE WITH TUNING FORKS From New Tork Morning Telegraph. Those who were present at tha last performance of "II Trovatore" at the Metropolitan opera house, might hsve noticed a peculiar spectacle. It was a group of Italians, of all ranks and stations in society, lying In wait for Caruso's top note. Many of them were armed with tuning forks. Among them were Crlstoforo Cam pan -art, the son of the singer; his friend, Amadea Vowlnkel. of Venice, and Dr Fannoni of Naples. They all had been present at ; an earlier performance of the an me nnera. and a discussion had arisen between them and some excited Italian art patrons about the ; precise nnta that Pitman had lunr." Words had waxed high, and stiletto might have oeen drawn naa not t;nsioiuru vm panarl said, "Well ' brethren of the Mafia, next time Caruso sings Manrloo '11 bring a tuning fork ana weu set tie It." "I say he sing-a ds hign u," saia Borromeo ,di Bomposinl, and his parti sans shouted assent - j "I say he sand a B flat," said Dr. Fannonl. "I prove it by the mathemat ical demonstrasions." ''Never mind," said Crlstoforo, "next Trovatore' we bring tuning forks." Accordingly tne next peiiuniiaiiva ina fiatt lata cams with tunlna forks. and also the C naturalists came with tuning forks, "wen iix youi .mut tered cne gang to . ths other. "You'll seel' The 'two parties stood glaring at each other, wafting until Caruso sang ' Dl Vjueiia jrira. jusi aa nw avruca tha n rat nnta nf tha sons, all drsw their tunlna- forks and nodded defiantly at each other.
