MKHIT IX FERK0R3IA'GE Part of the Music Like Vsrag.

ncr's and Sonic of It Composed for Popular Ear. Jlr. Campanlnl may not have come to New York to show us that our operatic repertory was not the only possible one, but ho has certainly shown us Just that. The generous outpour of novelties has been pYCeerlcri nnlv rln.i nl nnlll. staccatl.

Two In week one French and one Italian make a record, tho Puccini three nic In effect one I opus. The novelty last night was the "Lorelei" of Alfredo Catalan), a composer born at Lucca In 1R54. He died In Milan In 1893. Mr. Qattl-Casaxza has produced his last opera, "La Wally," brought forward In Italy 1R92.

"Ui Wally" was flret performed at the Metropolitan on January 6, 1909, nnd had four presentations In that season. Then In company with Puccini's "I Villi," produced In the same season, It retired to operntlc limbo nnd has enjoyed there the peace of endless silence. It was Impossible that the legend of the Iorelel liould escape opera. Liszt made a little one out of Heine's verse, nnd fnr back In tho '50s theatregoers In this country hung breathless on the spectacular glories of the "Naiad Queen" and thrilled when "there spoke the spirit ot Rupert, tho Fearnaught." Every little German boy knows that the Lorelei was a maiden who was disappointed In love, threw herself Into the Rhine and became siren very danger' oils to any Ulysses from Oberwesel or Rlngcn. They can show you her rock If you ever go to Germany.

The story of Catalanl's opera Is built on the legend. Walter Smitten With I.orrlel, Walter, betrothed to Anna, meets l.nretci and Is smitten with her charms. When she learns that he Is engaged to another lady she swoons, while one llet-iiiniiii, who loves Anna, Invokes Father Rhine's vengeance, I.ortlei makes her appeal to the Rhine maidens and they tell her that It Is a case for AlbeHch, who, as every one remem'bers, had become lord of tho Rhine by the simple process of stealing the gold. Lorelei swears fidelity to Albcrieh and Is tianefornied into a regular chromolithographs siren with golden locks and the golden comb with which to comb them. When Waller and Anna are solemnly marching to church to be wed they are met by Loreel, who exercises her new lure on R'oKcr with the result that he lllngs away Anna and rushes Into the siren's arms.

The lady pops into the Rhine, leaving the disconsolate swain behind. Anna Is so shocked that she dle.s, and In the last act we witness her funeral. trailer takes his turn at being shocked and swooning. J.orelcl mounts her rock and does a little more "vocal alluring. Hut now the Rhine daughters warn her to be faithful to Alberich, and so Walter heaves himself Into the river.

He meets his Just reward In a cold water death. What the Mnalc Shows. The music of "Lorelei'' shows that Catalan! at tho time of Its composition loved the Rhlneland anil the early styl of Wagner. The story lias all the familiar features of GerniHn legend, and Its undercurrent of lachrymose sentiment is of the type so vigorously condemned by Romain Holland In the piges of "Jean Chrlstonhe." For such a maid. Vn's romance tho pompous manner of "TannhaeuseiV which frequently obtrudes ItselT, is as suitable as n.

four- I teen Inch eun for the Fhooting of but- 1 here lire, however, some pleasant productions of Catalanl's own. Lorelei nersclf has a themo which enters with the opening of the overture and never quits her till the end of the opera. There are a wedding march, a wedding celebration by chorus nnd orchestra, a funeral march, two charming ballet numbers and several effective. If conventional, solo passages. The Rhine daughters nymphs In this case execute the ballet, led by Sylvia Tell, a very ung and pretty ballerina.

In thus translating the guardians of the gold Catalan) has at least widely parted company with Wagner. Indeed It Is rather In Ills Ht grandiose style than In melody or construction that the composer seeks to lesemblo Wagner. There Is an excellent bit of cantilena for the tenor and a Mowing duet for him jand tho light soprano In the second act which aro quite Catalanl's own. They I have not much style, but they are made for the popular ear. As a whole, how-jever, the opera Is not one of distinction.

It is theatrically conceived In certain scenes, but the long choral soporific of tho second act would put any irigic Idea to sleep. The performance bad merits Florence Macbeth as sang well, while Anna Fitzlu I.orrlel labored vigorously with music which overweighted her. Ale.ssandro Dolel was a tolerable HVilffT. Mr. Rlmlnl as Hermann and Vliglllo Lazzarl an Forloln wero the other principals.

HARKNESS ESTATE SUED FOR $5,000.000 Kentucky Wants Back Taxes With Heavy Penalty. ftprcial Despatch to Tuc Six. Lrxington-. Feb. 13.

Racked by the State Tax Commission, RevenuA Agent Walton nyar and County Attorney Hognti filed suit here to collect' taxes ot more thno 5,000,000 from Sirs. Florence S. Harkness of New York, widow harry Harkness. John W. McMlllcr (of New York, executor of tho estate.

Is iiiuuu I'm ij io tuc atjiiuit. nip petitioners hold that Mr. Harkness at the time of his death, January 23, was a legal resident of this county, in that his father, L. V. Harknera, also deceased, owned the Walnut Wall stock farm here, and that Harry Harkness.

with his sister, Mrs. McComber of California, and Mrs. Lola Edwards of Pittsburg, continued to own It after L. V. Harkness died.

In the petition back taxes are sought on the MO.000.000 estate for three years, with a 20 per cent, penalty for default, The claim of the Kentucklaus grows out of tho fact that the Harkness heirs, after L. Harknesa's death, when cited for taxation In Kentucky and New York, accepted Kentucky as their legal residence, thereby enriching Kentucky $288,000, but costing New York more than that In loss of Inheritance tax, Harry Harkness was seldom In Kentucky, but his father spent much of his time here Just 1 before he died and after his wife had died In New York.

In the evening at Carnegie Hall the Philharmonic Society's regular Thursday concert took place, with Mme Loulso Homer as the soloist.

The popular contralto sang first Cosar Franck's "La Procession" and the recitative and aria "Azael" from Debussy's "The Prodigal Son," and later she gave the "Jeanne d'Aro" air of Tschalkowsky. She was heard to much better advantage in tho Franck air than In the one by Debussy. In the latter her tone quality was far from satisfactory. There was a. novelty for orchestra In the programme entitled "The Fountains of Rome," by Ottorlno Reapighl.

The composition, tecently published, had been sent to Mr. Stransky by the Italian Government for performance by the Phllharmolc Orchestra, and last night the work received Its first American hearing. Resplghl. born at Rologna In 1S79, Is now professor' of composition at the Lyceum In Rome. He han composed works In various formr.

Including three operas. In his symphonic poem. "Fontane dl Roma," according to the composer's note on the score, he has "endeavored to ex-press the sentiments and visions sug-geted to him by four of Rome's contemplated at the hour In which their character Is most in harmony with the surrounding landscape, or In which their beauty appears most Impressive to the observer." The poem has four sections, designated as "The Fountain of Vulle Glulla at Daybreak." "The Triton Fountain In the Morning," "Tho Fountain of Trevi at Noon." "The Villa Medici Fountain at Sunset The composition depicts the series of pictures by means of good orchestration, which Is modern, but not of extreme coloring. The effects are mostly well managed, and this whether they be In gentle pastoral scenes or of Neptune's chariot as drawn by sea horses. Througfi all tho Idea of moving water Is never lost.

The poem Is not of any great originality, but It Is Interesting. It was admirably played by the orchestra. The remaining numbers for the orchetra were "Tragic overture, which opened the conceit, and Kallnnikon's first symphony, which cloed It. In the afternoon the Symphony So-clety at It regular subscription concert in the same hall repeated twb numbers heard at its concert of las: Sunday, Cesar Franck's prelude, choral and fugue, orchestrated by Gabriel lierne. and Reethoven's fifth symphony.

Within the next few months more than a dozen French and American' productions are scheduled for the London The suggestion has heen advanced In some quarters that this wholesale Importation of foreign plays nnd plavers is due to a lark of Rrltish stars.

IT HAS MITE P.0XES HERE Money Given to Aid Blind Girls Said Not to Have Iicaclicd'Tlicni. The New Jersey State Hoard of Charities esterday requested Stato Attorney-General McCran to Institute quo warranto proceedings to revoke the charter of the Golden Rule Alliance, a New Jersey corporation with headquarters in 75 Fifth avenue. New York. Is alleged Hint the Rev. Edwin C.

Hol-man has used ille alliance for Ills own profit. The alliance appealed for tho bll'il by means of mite boxes In public piaces. and thiough young women solicitors. It Is alleged that $19,600 was collected nnd that 117,214 was expended without giving any relief to the sightless. Investigated lis- Kllrnr.

The New Jersey proceeding Is based on an Investigation of the alliance by District Attorney Swann. It Is charged that the alliance did not comply with the laws affecting charitable organizations, that Its books and records were flagrantly inadequate and that no site has been picked for the home for blind girls, which was advertised as one of the aims of tho alliance. It Is further charged that the Rev. Mr. Holman sup-piled Incorrect Information regarding the alliance and that members of the corporation as reported by him deny knowledge of Its affairs and disclaim responsibility for its operations.

District Attorney Swann said last night that tho alliance was Investigated three months ago by Edwin P. Kllroe. Assistant District Attorney, as part of a general inquiry Into charitable organization. "Wo notified the reverend gentleman that he would have to quit," said the District Attorney. "He is a very persistent fellow He beggsd us not to give his enterprise any publicity and sent people to us to plead for him.

As late an to-day he notified us that he did not intend to quit and would fight the New-Jersey proceeding. We warned him that he would do so nt his peril." The District Attorney said that the case was one of a large number that should strengthen the demand, for a law that will give some authority power to hold charitable organizations to regular and accurate accountings. The Golden Rule Alliance was Incorporated In New Jersey In December. 1312. It was Investigated In 1914 by District Attnrnc Whitman and the New York State Hoard of Charities.

The Rev. Mr. Holman was examined In the District Attorney'" office. He then had a parish in Franklin Furnace, N. J.

"For Chnrtty nnd Profit," It was asserted nt that time that the Golden Rulo Alliance wac an offshoot of the International Sunshine Society: that Holman left the society, where he had heen a collector on 30 per cent, commission basis, to form tho alliance. It was alleged that Fanny J. Crosby, the blind rlter of hymns, was president of the alliance, but that its aff.ilis were wholly in the hands of Holman. the treasurer, and Mrs. Mabel F.

Holman. The alliance was Incorporated "for charity and profit." Holman wa asked about the contradictory term" He explained that he bail learned through experience with the International Sunshine Society of t'ie troublesome features attending the ue of funds collected for the blind In a pinflt making venture such as the Sunshine Society's Hensmhtirst sanitarium Holman snld that It wa the Idea when the alliance wa incorporated to use funds collected for blind In building a home for blind The funds would be but temporarily diverted, ex-plalnedand ultimately the blind would benefit through tho return of profits from the home. The examination convinced the minister of the unwisdom of combining business and charity in the manner he pro posed and he promised to havo the papers of Incorporation changed. During the first Investigation It was said that the alliance was receiving JI30 a month from mlte boxes in New York. One of Ilolman's collectors was arrested in Newark In 1913 and was discharged whon Holman promised to remove tho society's boxes In Newark.

Thritecn soldiers blinded In battle, on the French front sat around a table in tho Debarkation Hospital No. Grand Central Palace, yesterday afternoon and listened to the grentest blind man of the war, Sir Arthur Tcarson, the noted London publicist, who has been a godsend to the.

sightless Tommies of Great Britain. Ho gave them heart to heart talk, as one man who has been blind for several years and has won tho victory over the bnndlcap to men who are Just realizing that they will never see again. He said "First of all I want to tell ott this thing Is nothing approaching half so bad as It seems to you nt the present moment. You have Just lost your sight, otherwise you arc ordinary, sound, human beings. We keep the Idea of ndr-mallty before us.

We say we have no blind, Just normal men who do not sec. Need FlRhtliiR Spirit. "You do not want this idea of 'patient resignation' that people talk about. You want lighting, kicking spirit. You want to set your lives over again and you wrll bo amazed to find how quickly things will come to you.

Myself, I find myself doing things easily, automatically that I wouSl not have attempted two years ago, "And then, ot course, you get more in the use of the other senses. People seem to think If you lose your sight you can hear better. You use your sense of hearing more, that is all. "The great thing you fellows have to do Is to keep a bright, cheery, optimistic view of life. You must mako up your minds that you are Just going to get along with your lives without the senso of sight nnd you will succeed.

I am talking about what I know, not what I guess at. What you have got to do is Just to Insist upon doing every single, mortal thing for yourselves. When I lost my sight I dismissed my valet. "No man loves his wife enough to want to go shopping with her. When a man shops he wants to buy something." Sceptic! When a wife comes with her husband into one of our stores, it's a challenge to salesmanship! Never any doubt as to who's to be pleased! Helps keep peace in the family, too, to know that the lady has the privilege of changing her mind! Money is simply on deposit until she's absolutely sure that suit, overcoat, hat, shoes, shirt, whatever it is, is just what she wants him to have.
