THE GRAND OPERA “FAUST.” Kvery once in a while, and not any too often, our music loving theatre patrons are afforded an opportunity of hearing Grand Opera. Most of the times, however, the Operas presented are rather too cumbersome to meet the approval of the masses; that is to say, the imusic of Grand Opera as a rule Is Just a little above the heads of the class of people who attend the thea theatre frequently, for the sake of di version, hence the announcement that • Faust will be sung in English at the Grand next Monday evening comes with no little pleasure. The New York Grand Opera Com pany, an organization, while small irt numbers as compared with some of the others who have been heard here, makes its bid for popular patronage on Its principals, the chorus having been sacrificed for that purpose, as it is al ways quite difficult to bring together i chorus that can be wholly depended upon for harmonious results. The New York Opera Company is composed of such well known operatic lalent as Giordano, acknowledged to be not only a really great tenor, but the handsomest one on the American stage. He is the protege of Caruso, »nd it is claimed that his voice* is quiite the equal in range and quality to that of the famous tenor. Among the other members of the organization are Richard E. Parks, Romero Mal pica, Marguerite Hobert, Ethyl Peters and Madame Josephine Rondero, all of whom are well known to those who keep a mental record, as it were, of Grand Operatic events.

DISSENSIOIS IN PANKHURSTFOLD Threaten to End Leadership of Militant Army, According To Assertions of Younger Members. London. —DiascnKlons within the Pankhurxt family threaten to end Its leadership of the militant suffragette army, according to assertions by some of the younger inenxbiTs of the or ganization —known formally as the Women’s Social and Political Union. It. la said that the dissensions are rife In the inner circles of the union and that the outcome may result In crip pling the elaborate campaign which the war cabinet of the militant or ganization had planned for this year, at the same time ending the sway which the Pankhursts have exercised over the society since the Pethlck l.awrences were forced out of Its ranks last year.

They prefer their own elaborate schemes for making the lives of public men tin comfortable, and, whiln not objecting to violence, prefer to keep Its use within their own hands. The failure of the Pankhursts to give the forward command for tills new plan of cam paign has made several members of the war cabinet reHtlesa and the over throw of the i’linkhurnt triumvirate may he Imminent.

ROYAL Baking Powder Saves Health and Saves Money and Makes Better Food BROOKLYN (By Gotham Knickerbocker.) New York. —Brooklyn Is a large ex panse of territory lying adjacent to New York and on the route to Coney Island. At one time it was a city, lint now it Is u borough, having been very anxious to sink Its identity In that of New York. Brooklyn has regretted It ever since. The Borough of Brooklyn is supisised to he the property of the Free and Independent Citizenry of the Municipality of Now York, but thul Is a popular error that Is |s<r<loiialile In reality Brooklyn Is the exclusive property of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit Company, sometimes called the “H. It. T„" lint more often called tilings that it would be |sior taste to repeat here. Exploiting undeveloped territory should tie a commendable deed. Men who have opened up virgin lands have been called pioneers. The It. It. didn’t exactly find Brooklyn an un developed territory, tint It has been exploiting Brooklyn for many years, nevertheless. Ostensibly the It. R. T. Is a corporation organized to run street cars and elevated trnlim at reg ular Intervala through the streets of Brooklyn. It runs the street earn ami tralna—alao: It runs the Borough of Brooklyn hut It doesn’t run tile cars at anything resembling regular inter vals. The Brooklyn Bridge has made Brooklyn famous. Lota of people know about the Brooklyn Bridge, but they don’t know whether It runs from New York to Jersey City or to Htaten Is land. I can reliably Inform them that It does run to Brooklyn. The Brook lyn Bridge has tracks for elevated trulns and street cars, and every once In a while a street car or an elevated train may tie seen crossing It. The bridge has a wide promenade. This is for the benefit of Brooklynites, com pelled to alight from an elevated train or street cur during a block. Brook lyn Bridge has e signal system known to railroad men ns a “block system.” It Is. Every time one of the lamps lights there Is a block. The lamps aro lighted most of the time. Brooklyn ites are enthusiastic walkers, especi ally on snowy days, when the It. R. T. gives vent to an unearthly supematu ral groan and Just sort of lays down and dies. New Yorkers visit Hrooklyn a great deal, especially In the summer, when they are compelled to pass through It to reach Coney Island and Brighton Beach. This, of course, can’t he help ed, us the B. It. T. has a monopoly of Coney Island traffic. There is anoth er lino running to Coney Island, but nobody ever rides on It, because It affords none of ttie uneertalnty uni excitement attached to a trip on the It. It. T. The gambling Instinct seem* to be natural to Manhattanites. De spite all this It really Is reasonably certain that If you get on IF YOU GET ON a It. K. T. Coney Island Express, you eventually will arrive at Coney Island. I say IF YOU GET ON because that 1s the hardest part of tha whole thing, arid at the same time thi most exciting. All great football scrimmages, Mexi can war skirmishes and New York subway crushes pale Into lnslgnlfl ci nee when compared to a crowd boarding a Coney Island Express on a warm afternoon In August. Only a futurist or cubist could ever paint a picture truly representing It. Besides the B. R. T. the visitor to Brooklyn should bo shown the church es, cemeteries and breweries for which the city Is famous. Almost all elevat ed and trolley lines In Brooklyn end at a eemetery. On the way they pass breweries and churches, and In one o' two Instances, the end of the route boasts a brewery with beer garden attachment as well as a cemetery. This makes It convenient for those who visit the cemetery. Brooklyn Is not much In the manufacturing line. Its principal products are babies and rubber plants. This Is because Brook lyn Is essentially a residential city. Newly married couples who are not sufficiently well off to enjoy a honey moon mbroad to hide their / blushes from grinning friends and relatives aften move to Brooklyn, thua effect- ively concealing themselves from their old associates, although their near-r and dearer relatives may brave an oc casional visit. Usually, when the In stallment furniture Is paid for and hubby Is raised five dollars at the office, they move back to Manhattan. Besides bring a goat for the B. H. T. Brooklyn has been a goat for Man hattan for a long Mine. Brooklyn has a population of 2,000,000 persons. Man hattan and the Bronx have a popu lation of 3,000.000. When the subway was built Brooklyn got three quarters of a mile of underground and Man hattan and the Bronx between them got about forty miles of It. Brooklyn Is going to get a real subway at laat— maybe. It is being built now and si me day It will tie finished. The B. R. T. Is going to operate It. ’Nough said! MRS.
