If You Knew What All That Fine
Singing Was About It Might
Not Charm.
"i notice the Metropolitan's going
to sing one opera in English this
year,” said the fat man at the cigar
stand. ' That’ll be nice. I never could
quite enjoy hearing a lot of gurgles
and googles In Dago or Dutch."
‘Don’t get all heated up In ad
vance," returned the thin man with
the straw hat. "If you think you Can
go to the opera and understand all
the words, you’re betting on a busted
flush.
' Stop end think a minute! When
the church quartet bursts into its
Easter anthem can you tell what
they're singing about? Not unless
you follow the hymn book. When the
merry, merry chorus 1n a. musical
comedy gallops down to the footlights
with Its usual tra-la-la, did you ever
absorb a syllable? No!
“Then why expect to understand
English words sung by Italians, Ger
mans, French folk and a Spaniard or
two? It won't be the real thing.
Music's th* Main Thing.
"But don’t let this Interfere with
your erijoyment of opera. The music
will be Just as sweet, and music is
99 4-6 per cent of an opera, anyway.
And suppose you could Understand the
words, you’d be sorry afterward.
"Take a. literal translation of the
libretto of one of the most popular
operas of a recent season. The so
prano has just swallowed a dose of
rough-on-rats prepared for a friend.
She pauses, looks surprised and
pained, and carols a few top notes to
express consternation.
"'What was that?' she trills, to
translate it literally. Was it water?
No, It wasn't water. It didn’t taste
like water. It tasted nasty. Yes, it
was poison. I feel it in my insides.
It gives me the trouble like the sea
sickness, only far more so.’
“Then she rushed down stage, grabs
the tenor around the knees and an
nounces:
While She Awaits “Death.''
T am dying. I am dead. I can
see visions of the little cottage where
1 was bom and where my mother
raises sheep, goats and poultry. While
I am waiting for the poison, to do its
deadly work 1 will sing you a song of
my childhood.’
“And she does. She sings It ad
libitum, with all kinds of runs and
cadenzas and hemi-demi-seml-qua-
vers. And it’s beautiful. It really is.
You'd think she were an archangel
singing an anthem from heaven—if
you didn't understand the words. But
onoe you begin, to get the drift of the
conversation grand opera becomes a
Joke.
“That’s why the great companies
stick to Italian. Every now and then
some prima donna comes out strong
for opera in English, for any old in
terview is good advertising. But you
don't notice the impresarios losing
any steep, do you? No; grand opera
in English is like watching a magician
from behind the scenes. You don't
see the magic. You just see him take
the rabbits out of the hole in the
table."

Wife’s Prayers for
Counterfeiter Vain
J. E. Echols, Given Three Years,
Says He Broke Lew to Feed
Hungry Family.
Silent prayers offered by his wife
and mother that Judge Newman
might free J. E. Echols of the charge
of counterfeiting proved unavailing
to-day In the Federal Court, and, aft
er a. plea of guilty had been entered
by the man, Judge Newman sentenced
him to three years In the Federal
Penitentiary and $100 fine.
The need of his wife and four little
daughters caused Echols to turn to
counterfeiting, according to the story
before the court. Out of work for
several weeks and with five hungry
ones st home, Echols became desper
ate and raised $1 bills to $5. He was
detected Immediately and arrested
here. He escaped, but was caught
again last week at his mother’s home
In Adalrsville.
His wife, who with their 2-year-old
child attended the trial, urged the
convicted man to be brave and prom
ised him she would provide for the
children by working In the cotton
mill, as she has for the last few
weeks.

CHICAGO April 18. Mayor Harri
son has received a letter which made
him sit up straight In the chair. It
informed him that Chicago Is being
considered as the spot in which to
build a “pyramid of labor" a gigan
tic building to cost $50,000,000.
‘It is to have several new features
about it," said the TOayor after read
ing the letter a second tim*. “and
is to be 1,200 feet high, and ” here
rhe Mayon stopped short because the
proposed height i * an even 1,000 feet
more than the building ordinance al
lows.
The proposal, which it is said will
be financed by an Eastern person of
wealth who does not want his name
mentioned until later, reached the
Mayor with a set of formal but tenta
tive blue print plans of the pyramid
and certain specifications. Acres and
acres of land in Chicago’s crowded
district figure in the proposals.
The bewildering project is disclos
ed in a. communication from Anson
M. Smith, of Now York. He deals
in securities and has an office in the
Metropolitan Life Building there, ac
cording to the letter-head. Here are
some of the proposals:
It is proposed to spend $50,000,000
in building and endowing a monu
ment to labor, to take the. form of a
great temple of an, learning and ar
chaeology.
The time of about one thousand
workmen will be required for at.
least ten years on the work.
Besides the pyramid there are to
*be constructed on the grounds—un
less by seme chance there should be
a hitch in the plans—a replica of the
Homan Coliseum, the Parthenon, the
leaning tower of Pisa; also a mu
seum for the exhibition of things his
torical, a stadium, an auditorium and
a library building.
For the benefit of tffe populace Iwo
large hotels will be placed on the
grounds.
