This production i grcntly differ ent from nnythiiij; heretofore under taken by our homo intent, mid it rendition indieated that our loeul nut ftlrtnitft nrc tmly vercntile. Thu text of Queen Esther is purely fnrrcd, the stupe effect peetneulnr nml tlio costumes mo-l effective. The htnjc groupings of the dews and Pen-inns were most Oriental, and particularly lovely was the flower chorus by tlio children, who adapted themselves to the situations most naturally. The adult choruses, conijwsed mostly of our younger set, were un iisunlly piod, and the gestures onsj and prnccful. Particularly com mendable, is the work of committing so long n score to memory in the Miort time that they have been re hearsing. The title juirt wns assumed by .Miss ivn. UHlin, wuo lMwt-cssen n mot pleasing lyric, soprano voice, and who snnp in splendid form. Hct personality was well suited to the chn meter. Kinp Ahnsucms wns acceptably re ceived by Mr. Howsc, the director of the production. Miss Ethel Guthrie took the pnrl of Zcrcsh. Sho shows much dramatTe nbility and ships with nn understand ing far beyond her years. Her dance wns particularly prnccful ami plcns inp. The pnrt of Monlceni, taken by Mr. Fletcher Fish, wns sustained with splendid understanding of the need of the character, and topvthcr with the mako-iip and his splendid robust tenor, left but little (o be desired. Herbert Alford, ns Hainan, the king' counselor, fitted the part, which ho enacted in a splendid man lier and snnp in unusually pood voice. Miss Icta C'hildurs pave her part in a most acceptable manner. She has n sweet, miiicxiling soprano voice, Mrs. Whipple, ns the prophetess, acquitted herself very creditably. Tho herald, scribes, princesses, uuecn's attendants, etc., nro well worthy of nolo nud enacted their parts most acceptably. This.spleudid entertainment will be pivcn npain tonipht at the Pnpe the ater. All who have not attended should do so tonipht. Our younp musicians deserve cncouropcmcnt for their splendid efforts. FAUSnilNG TO PAGE FRIDAY (Han Diego Tribune) "Faust" as presented by tho Now York grand opera company last evcnlnit at tho Sprockels theater, wan a delight and a surprise to all music lovers. Tho company which came here unknown and practically unheralded on account of confusion of orders for advance "paper," num bers bovcu, and alngs the opera In such a smooth and easy manner that tho choruses aro not oven missed. Chevalier Salvatore Giordano sang tho part of "Faust" and Is possessed of u beautiful volco of that round Italian quality which Is smooth and oven through tho wholo register. Giordano sang lu Italian as ho has been In America but two years and huu as yet not mastered tho English very well. Miss Nora U'Argol as Margucrlto was dollghtrul, with a magnetic per sonality, a clear enunciation and n wcll-traluod voice. Tho duet, be tween Faust and Margucrlto In tho third uct wuh very well sung, and Miss D'Argel showed ability to act in tho jowel song.

Tho raising- of nngom pints in the Foiled States is now a demonstrated muh'css nccordinp to n rHil just tiuhlished bv the Fuited Stales de partment of aprieulture under the title, "The Atipora ("oat." Farmers' Hnlletin oT'l. Tho iudn-try. says the bulletin, is indeed so well e-lnblishcd hero that grower need not be incon venienced by tho action of South Af rica in prohibitinp the cxHirtution of Angora, for the quantity of piod blood in this country is already suf ficient to meet all romiircmcnts. It the opinion of experts the best Amer ican fleeces now equal any prown in South Africa or A-in Minor, the or- iptul homo of the Anpora. Mohair (tains In Vat no It is Niyinp more ami more, for the value of the fleece or mohair is in crensinp steadily. Formcrlv the ue of mohair depended so lnrgely upon the prevnilinp fashion that its price varied widely from year to year. This condition, however, is rapidly chanpinp ns new uses for mohair are continually found, from automobile tops and table covers to dress poods and curled false hair, and today the prower is assured of n reasonably steady market. The price of course varies with the quality, the very best fleeces briupinp on nn nvcrage from 12 to ." cents a siund. The weight of a fleece has a very wide raupc, but in lnbl) the avernpe for Oregon wns found to be 3.7 jwiunds, nud for Texas l.So. On account of the prcatcr bent, however, and the dam ape of sheddiup, Anporns In the southwest are frequently shorn twice a year a fact which must be taken into consideration in all calculations. Two Clippings Drawback Tlrs practice of clipping twice n year is in many ways a dam hack to the industry, since it lends to lower the uvcrupe pradc of American mo hair. Mohair as good as auv can be, and is prown in this country, but tho nvcrnpo quality is nut today consid ered to be as pood ns the foreipn. About '2,000,000 pdtiuds are unuually imMrtcd Ordiunrilv this is blended and spun with the domestic product. Six inches is the shortest length of fleeco usually desired, and because of shearing twice u year, much Texas and New Mexico mohair falls bcliw this standard. Where the fleece is nllowcd to grow for twelve mouths, I he nverapo Icnpth is 10 inches, and in the best flocks it is not unusual to pet ." to 20 inches. Itomeo, the sweepstakes buck at the r'l Paso show in 1010, is nn example of what is iosiblc. His fleece weighed 18 pounds, measured '2Q, inches in Icnpth and sold for $115. Such fleece is not of course the product of ordinary commercial conditions. It implies n considerable amount of care and crsoiiul attention. The birth late is approximately (si per cent', but in well innnaped (locks this bus risen on occasions as high ns 120 per cent. Since the kills aru not hardy, it is obvious that this means skill nud industry diiriup the breeding season. The beM met hods of enriup for the flock nt this time aro discussed in some detail in the new bulletin. Otherwise the manage ment of Angoras does not differ greatly from that of sheep.

Deplores Vlcjous Tendency Dr. (llaildcu declared what he re ferred to as a tendency of some newspapers toward ''habits of oxag peratiou'' nud the exploitation of crime, vice mid scandal, lie outlined four great tasks for American jour nalism in tho performance of which he said it tn'ght nid in purifying and invigorating public opinion. First To tench people to avoid exaggeration and violent speech and to cultivate moderate and rational modes of expression. Second To resist the tendencies which substitute the mob mind for the deliberate habit. Third To hold the ipular judg ment firmly to the truth Mint charac ter and manhood and not money and IMipularity arc the central value of human existence.

"I know o some newspaiiers,'' said Dr. Gladden, "that are doing much to bring to earth a reign of good will. They aro disposed to dis ceni the pood ami rejoice in it; thev cultivate gracious sneech and kindly judgment of their fellow men. And yet, I fear that it is true that in col lecting mid presenting the news of the day the habit which so largely prevails of fixing the attention of i'il of society, of keeping the seamy side of lifo uppermost, of exploiting crime and vice nud scandal, furn ishes to quite too large nil extent the common notion of the function of journalism.

Tho recent charge ' Oenoral nianquct that tho Americans woro breaking tho armistice caused Gen eral Kunstou to confer with his legal adviser, Colonol Porter.

The resignation of Mr. O'Onrn ns pathologist nt Mcdford will not mnko any material ehnngc. In the torvlro rendered by the weather bureau nt that plnco In tho future, nud It Is thought that unnecessary npprohen slon has been felt because tho weath er bureau contemplated (ho removal from Mcdford of a few unnecessary Instruments.

It Is hoped that when tho local In terests rutty uuucrstaiid tlio ar rangements that have been made by tho weather bureau Tor furnishing them with forecasts and frost warn ings they will be entirely satisfied therewith. Very respectfully, D. F. HOUSTON. Secretary. DEATH TO AMERICANS PA HIS, May 12.
