Music l San Carlo Company in “Rigolette.” In presenting Verdl's opera “Rigoletto” at the Auditorium last evening the San Carlo Opera company not only equalled its trlumphant success of the evening be- fore fn “Alda,” but, if anything, exceeded It. The audience was practically of the same proportion of the opening evening, | attentive, courteous and enthusiastic, and in the instance of the well known “La Donna e Mobile” and the famous quartet waas cordial in applause and enthusiastic in the reception of the well known gems. Mme. Bdvige Vacarl as Gilda looked pretty, acted with a sweet innocence and simplitcy and sang divinely. Her voice is of an opulent velvety quality, not over heavy, but of good carrying power, and of a clearness and beauty in its great exquisite high notes of the *“Caro Nome' in the second act with ease and bril- liancy.

For the week receipts, while very much larger than a_year ago, are smaller than last week. There has beén a good buying demand, but prices at all points have shown more or less weakness, this market in common with others has eased off. At the close of | the week it is safe to quote all kinds of killers, that is, cows, helfers and :llt:::l. as 10@15c lower than last week's Stockers and hl‘dqu have been in very lHght supply all week for that reason they have held fully steady with the close o!qlnl aook. uotations on cattle: Good to cholce beeves, §7.76@8.10; fair to good beeves 75, common to fair beeves, $6.3@ 7.35; Kood to cholce heiters, u'hYus £00d 'to_choice_cows, .00G8.50; fair to good cows, $5.25G6.00; common to fair :‘?wl " 2%; good t'fl cholce feeders, to the dramatic power of her acting. “Caro Nome' was heartily applauded and encored. In her other solo work she was entirely adequate, and the duets in the second aoct both with Rigoletto and the Duke were artistic and convincing to a |} degree. Bignor Antola in the title role created a vivid impression of this difficult part. His acting throughout was intensely real- istic, for at no moment did he depart from the character represented. In his to |singing as well as his acting there is a - | freedom and ease which alded him to give free rein to the many moods and stress of feelings depicted. He was especially effective in the third and last acts when he was torn by many emotions. The final duet between Glida and Rigoletto was one of the finest bits of interpretation of the evening and left a vivid impression with the audience. Bignor Agostinl as the Duke was like- °, wise admirable In his part, singing the role of the profiigate nobleman with a whimsical insincerity of manner, but wheh was most sincere, and with a wealth of vocal power and fluency. His acting was full of life and energy and his volce of excellent quality and even brightness. He instantly won favor with his first solo, which Increased to the climax of the part in “La Donna e Moblle” and the quartet. Stella De Mette as Maddalena charmed both with her acting and her warm con- tralto, which added so much to the beauty of the quartet. Natale Cervi as Mon- terone made the most of a small part, as aid Pletro di Blasi and the other members of the cast. Mr. Angelin's influence was felt throughout the opera, the orchestra playing with excellent ensemble and beauty of tone. The dramatic situations were clearly indicated and expressed un- der his baton. The scenery and costumes preserved the balance of excellence which ‘was displayed in the rest of the presenta- tion. This opera is one of the most tuneful of the immortal Verdl's, containing a continuity of musica] interest and melody. It is handicapped by a lbretto with low mora] tone and not in any way in keep- ing with the great beauty of the music which clothes it. With the exception of Glida, and a certaln amount of pity felt for the wretched Rigoletto, there is not much of sympathy to be felt for any of the characters presented, and but for the music there is slight Interest in the text. The fourth act, with its many dramatic situations, i perhaps the strongest. HoM AL GREENWOOD DID WELL AGAINST HEAVY OPPONENT CRAWFORD, Neb., Jan. the Sporting Editor Omaha Bee: Referring to the article in The Omaha Bee which appeared January 2 regarding the ten- round bout between Al Greenwood and Tommy Smith in this city, In which Greenwood clalms he got the worst of the popular declaion, T wish to say that, as far as Greenwood is concerned, he was Pitted against o. man heavier than him- self and, while he put up a clever fight, he was outwelghed and outfought, The management endeavored to get Montana Jack Sullivan of O'Nefll to go against Smith, but was unsuccessful and had to take a lighter man. Smith's showing here against Green- wood was a great surprise to the many fans who had witnessed some of his pre- vious work, many voicing the opinion that Smith is capable of going against the best in the state.

WATER TURNED ON Rules Are Polud in Water Office So that Renters May Read Them. LANDIORDS RAISE BIG HOWL Water board rules on how to met water the wall, This was announceq by F. D, Wead, of the Metropolitan Water board, at the last Real Ewtate exchange This action s the result of an agh when it water to the landlord to ask him to sign a guarantee of their water rent. The rules of the board is that you that you rent regularly, will pay your water or that you must get you will pay it. This guarantee, it the landlord slgna it, makes him liable for the payment of your water rent if you “fly the coop” without paying your bills. Object to Guarantee. Real estate men doing a rental busi- vs objected to signing t holding that it is no more Incumbent on them to guarantee a ten- ant's water bill then it is to guarantes his grocery bill or his meat bill, or his coal blll. Nevertheless a constant stream of ap- plicants for water is moving from the water board office to the various real estate offices with application blanks asking that the real cstate rental man sign the guarantee. The realty dealers have become sick and tired of this, “The water board sald you must slgn this before I can get water,” ia the com- mon expresslon of the peopls, when they come into the office of the land- Then the rental man fs always foreed to explain that the alternative is the payment by the tenant of a $1 deposit, which will get them water immediately. The Easiost Way. The real estate men insisted that the clerks in the water board office were simply doing things the easiest way. ‘That Is when the tenant objected pay- ing the §3 guarantee, they simply handed him a sllp and asked him to get his rental man or landlord to sign, without explaining to him that this amounts to & gusrantee. ‘When half the members of the Real Batate exchange had poured out thelr vindictiveness on F. D, Wead at the ex- change meeting some weeks ago, Mr. Wead agreed to take the matter up with the board and the result is that some of the sets of rules are now posted in the water office, so that all tenants may read.
