Madris has been a determined opponent of Zelays; that it was far more to Zelaya's Interest than to Madriz's advantage to se- cure the neutrality of the latter, and that the Cartago court is supposed to be an in- dependent organization, might become a member without tinding himself submissive to Zelaya except where it was manifestly for the benefit of Later came the announcement that Ma- driz would be Nicaragua's representative on the court. After what had already hap- pened nobody was much surprised that Madriz accepted the place. He was sub- sequently elected president of the court. That the court has not done much since its organization may or may not be due to Zelaya's skill in frustrating the objects for which It was established. If you ask an Estrada supporter why Madriz was sent Cartago, he will shrug his shoulders and Intimate that it was in Zelaya's In- terest. Yet it should be remembered that Madriz is Nlcaragua's foremost lawyer; that In Cartago only the ablest men could be of service to Nicaragua; and that Ze- laya is a keen judge of men and by no means 8o blind as to trust important mis- slons to incapables. When all this is con- sidered it may be an explanation of his relations with Madriz which reflects no dis- The resignation of Zelaya from the presi- Alberto dency of Nicarugua removes from Central American politics one of the most pictur- esque personalities thdt has ever figured therein.

But when the latter was sent to the east coast, six or seven years ago as governor, of the department, or state, of which Bluefields is the chief town, their and eventually paths began to diverge.

He shared thelr disgust over the meat con- cesslon, by which the sale of beef was committed to a single person. He saw that the time was at hand when this and other ished. He took the matter to Zelaya and recommended action. Zelaya promised redress, but nothing was done, and after do not owe their advancement to birth or humbly and have made their way by sheer ability and good fortune.

They center in and around the city of Leon. Leon s the | \.:g'-? town in Nicaragua and has some | manufacturing interests. The population in- cludes a large class of artisans and they make up the mass of the party. The acknowledged. leader of the liberals Is General Anastasio J. Ortis, a man of some sixty years. Ortiz led a revolution against Zelaya In 1896, but with the assistance of Pollcarpo Bonillg, then president of Honduras, he was overcome and banished. Today he makes his home in Celba. The second most Important liberal leader Is | General Paolino Godoy, now In his fifty- fifth year. Godoy began life as a tailor He also was Implicated in the revolution | of 189 and w compelled to seek refuge In Honduras after the disastrous rout of | his forces, There is also the moderate conservative party, the one which is mainly responsible | for the recent revolution: It is composed of | the better educated and most progressiv ‘element In the population of Nicaragua. | Many of its members have been educated | abroad, and there acquired notions of liberty and eniightment altogether incompatable | with the policles on which Zelaya has erected his power. It was to the moderate | conservatives that Castrillo belongs, the | Castrillo who represents the revolutionary party in Washington at the present moment. Castrillo is the son of Salvador Castrillo, minister of finance under Car | denas, and a member of the commission | which adjusted the boundary dispute be- | tween Nicaragua and Honduras. The elder Castrillo Is a man of such probity that, although Zelaya knew him well as an | enemy, there was none in whom he could | place more perfect contidence, and for that reason selected him for the delicate mis- sion which he so successfully executed. The younger Castrillo was educated In Europe, and has written a number of valuable works in French. He ranks as a distinguished author in France as well as in Nicaragua. Finally, there is the Zelayista party. It is composed of men who supported the de- posed dictator. One of the ablest of these | is Jose Dolores Gomez. Gamez has filled a score of important offices under Zelaya. A descendant of one of the old conservative families of Nicaragua, he ranks very high as a lawyer, and has done much for his country. His adherence to Zelaya is attributed, by many, to his desire to suc- ceed him as the president, an ambition which s now most unlikely to be grati- tied. The conservatives, the liberals and the moderate conservatives were, 4s may be inferred from the foregoing outline of thelr history, opposed to Zelaya. But be- cause they are enemies of the previous administration it does not follow that they will enthusiastically support any person who may be selected as Zelaya's successor, The Zelaylstas, of course, may be counted on to do all they can to embarras the new regime. To conciliate these conflicting interests, to establish harmony and to safegard the liberty of theé people, so long and so cruelly oppressed, are the difficult task which Zelaya's successor in the presidency will have to accomplish, BY FREDERIC J.

Epiphany means ‘“‘an appear- ance" And the church festival of the Epiphany is held the 6th of January, or Twelfth-Night - after Christmas. They used to have great times on Twelfth-Night. Shake- speare chose it for the title of one of his well known plays:—"Twelfth-Night or What You WilL” —— But it Is of Epiphany we would speak. This festival of Eplphany is held in cele- bration of the visit of the wise men to the litiie manger at Bethlehem to see the Infant, the Christ-child. And they came with gifts of gold and frankincense and Epiphany was because of the Appearance of the Star which directed them to the place where the young Child lay, And the story is this. It happened In Omaha. It happened in & school. It hap- pened to & choir singer. Now there Is in Omaha a certain school where boys and girls are wont to meet, and where a certaln teacher (who is & choir singer) was accustomed to go every day, and temch the children those things which belong to their welfare mind and spirit You who read, all know that some chil- Somg children are good and some are ungood—not £o bad, but just somewhat un- good. Some are taught at home, and some are not. Some are lazy and some are ac- tive. Well it happened In this school, of which we are thinking just now, that a certain teacher began fo think very hard about what she cbuld d, for some of her back- ward boys. In this school there were three boys who were not so terribly fond of study, nor of doing those things which model boys should always do. Bo this teacher sald to her three boys (as well as part of thelr vacation time to the teacher, she would give up part of her vacation time to them. And the boys did it. They promised that they would, and they did. They were punctual, they were interested, Wise Men, But this was not all.

The audience applauds because it is the prima donna, and unconsciously takes the incorrect posi- tion that whatever the prima dofina does is would not do it, That is not the question just now, how- ever. The evolution of the prima donna recital Is the thing to be considered. We can all remember when the prima donna started forth on her annual tour of conquest and glory, and with a program Which was conformed almost entirely to the grand “‘arlas" or operatlc solos for which she was famous. Arlas, or big solos, from the famous oper: usually Italian, were the offerings presented, and then “Home Sweet Home" or “Annle Laurie' or' “The Old Folks at Home" was thrown in, gratis, and the audience went home wild with delight and entranced with the sing- ing of the prima donna. Buch a program would not do nowadays. It would not attract an audience, nor would |1t satisty an audience If it had attracted one. Now we have the mmixed program. The |prima donna sings some of her famous | 808, that is, some of the big things which | | are connected with the roles or parts in which she appears. Then she sings som German numbers, a French item or two. and some offering in the English language. It will only be & matter of time until the people will demand still more of the song form, and the arla will be retired. We will then have the Song Recital. This 1s a ‘consummation most devoutly to be wished." | LDt The arla, generally speaking, belongs strictly to the opera, and it suffers by re- moval therefrom. The song-literature of the world is tre- mendous. If we were to hear a song r cltal every night from now on for a year, and no number on any program repeated, we would have only begun to gather a few flowers from the floral beds at the entrance of the garden, and the garden is wondrous lar It has always been-a difficult matte to introduce the songs of Germany France and Italy, to say nothing of Nor- way, Russia, Poland, and other countries, because of the entire strangeness of the languages. But we find & very great encourage- ment to look ahead, In these two follow- ing facts.—First, the tender recital artists to print very fair, and | torelgn songs which they sing, on the program,_and furnish that to the audience without &ny extra cost. The other en- couraging fact is the rapid spread of the study of the forelgn languages on our part, and the Increased study of our lan- guage by those who sing to us. the songs of Franz, of Schybert and of ry familiar, and then we will have Brahms, Grelg, Mendels I.tlhn.

Phe announcement on the Schumann- Heink programs to the effect that Dr. Wueliner is to make his appearance here, was greeted with a feeling amounting al- most to exultation by those who are fond of music. Dr. Wuellner has been so very much in demand In the cast, and his price has been s0 prohibitive therefore to the west- ern people, that his coming was despaired of. But by persistent work, a date has been slipped in, en the way to the coast, and so Dr. Wuellner will actually sing in Omaha on the 1Sth of January (this month). Miss Evelyn Hopper is to be sin- cerely congratulated and she will have un- stinted support. Who is Dr. Wuellnec? Well, the papers | and magazines have been s0 full of his work that it seems unnecessary to say. And vet, there may be a few who have not chanced to read of the man. Dr. Wueliner is sald to be the greatest ' interpreter of songs in the German lan- ! guage. The remarkable point is, that those who have heard him and who knew not the language, have been stirred deeply by the sentiment of the song, and that the man has a way of Interpreting which though he translates his thoughts into music, and places the music before you | | through his marvelous voice-manipula- tion, so that you get the thoughts from his music, in your own language. Is not this remarkable? And yet it Is real singing, or rather real interpreting. No one should miss an opportunity to | hear this wonder-singer. And be sure to get the songs which he will sing as soon as you can secure the program, and have sonie good German friend translate them for you: get some other good friend to play the music for you.
