Now York , Nov. 21. The opening of the grand opera season In New York , came with n rush of folk and a crush of money nnpioccdented In the his tory of the Metroplltan opera house a sensationalism not at all to be accounted for by the fact that Gluck's ancient opera , "Armlde , " was to be presented for the first time in this country. Whatever the beauty of the opera , it has no pretense , theaterlcally , to splendor. The audience , however , supplied that quality In high degree. It went further. That part of the population of New York which for generations Inis found It easy to keep In steady glow a blaze of opulence and that oth er part of the population tvnlull has Just found itself able 10 have money to burn , swept down upon the Metro politan In silent limousine cars and Jolting , talkative taxlcabs so that the glittering vehicles were In line for blocks In all directions. Perfumes from Jeweled coiffures and rosy shoulders flooded the street. Traffic policemen grew hoarse. The ticket speculators can remember ho other such Eldorado. The gloved hands of women's oscorta reached out feverishly to snatch Orchestra chair tickets , Haunting in return for every single one of them a $100 bill. In other words , late , comers last night paid for an orchestra seat the price of a diamond ring , a suburban real estate lot or an operation for ap pendicitis. Money , red , yellow nlld green , was shunted swiftly Into the clutches of the speculators for Stall box seats at $ r > 0 a sent. In the onrush of those who would be there Iho "dress circle , " ordinarily aVallabto at $3 a place , went aeronian- Ing till you couldn't sjt In one of those retired nooks unless you had a $26 bill towipe across the eyes of n sixl'e- walk vendor of goldenly precious 'pasteboards. There were many hundreds who passed the speculators In scorn and lined up nl the Metropolitan box of fice tts sk for seats nt Tegular prices , bul MK5 came back liumbly to be- sceeli favors of the pariahs of the plnyi/onoes. Some crumpled together nt tlie price demanded and went Instead - stead to a vaudeville show. But the majority administered obesity cures to their money rolls. For the llrst time In four years tin Metropolitan stands this season as the sole homo of grand opera. The rankt of society and near-society that broKt and were serried by the advent o Ilammcrsteln and his Manhattan liavi closed again to a solid army. Society hud to be there , even If It quit tin 'horso ' show to get there. And near so ciety was oven under greater necos slty to show itself. And the hypno tized onlookers and worshippers o the bedlamonded population must alai needs be there , even at cost of weefc of scrimping. Those secure In their holding 'O ' subscription boxes or who had mn < 3 reservations otherwise did not heei the injunction that the somewhat loni opera would begin at "sharp" ' o'clock. The celebrated "tllamoni horseshoe" of the Metropolitan boxe had not been completely forged untl 9:30. : There was a noticeable change I the house program. In It was prlntt last night the "argument" or plot c the opera. This enlightenment hn never before been offered on a Metre polttan program. The opera house seems to have h ( gun the richest season It has eve known from a monetary viewpoint. The subscriptions already recorde 10nl roach $800.000. _ WOMEN THE DRINKERS NOW. Is iy New York.

"Onco It wild a rare thing , " ho said , "to see women drinking at dinner. One rarely over saw ono drinking In hotels , and a unman would not think of entering a saloon. All this has changed to an ( .larmlng extent. "At a dinner glvon not far from liGi'o , tin ) comiauiy being made of per- noun wliOKo names you would recog nize who attoud church , ono woman drank so much Unit she tried to climb n pillar in the loom while the drunken guests cheered , "A woman member of one of our most prominent families gave a dinner for her women friends In this city. While half liuovlcnted and smoking n big cigar she hurled a plate at the but ler's head. " Carter to Supreme Bench ? Helena. Mont. , Nov. 21. Friends of United States Senator Thomas H.

This time he set nc definite period to the fast but deter nined. to go without food as long as lie was well. He does not now know when he will resume the habit of eat Ing , though it is probable he will tak < Ills first "square meal" for four week ! on Sunday. Mr. Juniper has attended to bis reg ular duties at the postofflce , movet about actively in all bis cm-'tomar ; avocations , and accomplished the prl mary object of th fast by losing neai ly a pound of flesh dally.

A party of friends returning from hunting trip to Montana invited hir to an elk dinner the other day. Mi Jumper attended , nnd desiring to tast the flavor of elk meat , took a portlo of the meat In his mouth and chewe it , but spat It out without swallowin the food. 45 Race Horses Are Burned.

For all construction and repair work done by the company In excess of $25 , an estimate must bo made by the en gineering department , who estimated the work of moving the poles from Norfolk avenue to the alloys on both sides of the main street between the biltlgo east df First street to Seventh stioot at $15,000. The moving of these poles Is not an easy task. Now poles must bo set In the alloys ; now cables must bo run In and connected with the switchboard , then one by one the terminals at sub- sci liters' stations will be changed. Not until all this work Is done and the now line tcfatcd out satisfactorily can the old poles and lines bo moved from Norfolk avenue.

In two years from now the location of a building may bo greatly changed as far as the tele phone business is concerned. Norfolk Team Is the Best. Letter to Omaha World-Herald from "Fair Play" at Stanton : "In last Sun day's World-Herald appeared an ar ticle stating that the Ponder high school had won the championship In football In this part of the state. It further stated that the Stanton team won from the Norfolk team , but , as the Stanton team played a second team played a second team at Nor folk , wo believe that the champion ship belongs to the Norfolk first team , which is far superior to other teams in this part.

Some counties south of the Platte haxo lost population and will tnus lose repre sentation. But all 'will get the rep resentation they deserve under a fair re-apportionment and that is what wo want. The Amendment. The constitutional amendment re lating to the franchise that was sub mitted at the last election was defeat ed. This result emphasizes the disas ter that has 'come ' to nearly all the measures enacted by the legislature of 1'JOit. It Is probable that the work of no session In the history of the state ever suffered ucli reversal in one way or another. This amendwont proposed to compel foreigners to perfect their citizenship before being allowed to vote. It would put an end to voting on a mere declaration of intentions to become a citizen and this would re quire a residence of not less than fout years. A democratic legislature sub mltted H nnd at the primaries the dem' ocrnts were the only ones who re turned a majority against making It r party measure. All the other parties- gave It a majority of their votes. If was significant that during the cam palgn another measure put througl the last session was adversely dls posed of by the supreme court Thlf was one establishing maximum ratei ted for life insurance companies. Tin court hold It was not a proper sphere of legislation ; that it invaded UK sphere of private enterprise nnd tha competition must regulate rates. The wonuer Is that In splto of th < y- character of the legislation of the las session another democratic sessloi has Just boon elected. Such actloi no could bo Justified had the republlcai party boon proving recreant to It In trust But none will deny , we think ill- that the republican session of 190 illrk rk gave the state the largest amount n 15. good legislation of a kind that.hn ino jjtpod the test of the courts , that eve ' and greatest work of real political re form In Nebraska was then bognn. Wo will not attempt explanation. Wo are llko the pumpkin hauler , the ond-gato of whoso load came out at the summit of a stoop hill and per mlttod the pumpkins to go chasing ouch ether to the bottom.

Sioux City Journal : The Nebraska law logulatlng Insuiaiico rates with in the state has gene to Join the bank deposit guaranty law on the consti tutional scraphonp. As In the case of the guaranty law the Insuniiici ! sin- tuto haw boon declared In violation of the federal constitution. The law now iioiiarud Invalid was enacted by the legislature of I'.lOfi. ' H declared It to bo the duty of certain state olllcors to tlx the maximum rates on premiums charged by any fidelity or Insurance company > rms ; acting business In the state. U also provided that any olllcer or ngonl of such company violating the law might be judged guilty of a misdemeanor. There was a provision for the revo cation of the charter of an offending corporation. The law applied to for eign as well as domestic corporations nnd its constitutionality was tested In the federal court. The question In controversy , ac cording to Judge Mungcr , who hoard the case , was whether the law was In conflict with the fourteenth amend ment , which provides that no state shall deprive any person of liberty or property without duo process of law. In his opinion Judge Mnngcr conceded that the liberty to outer Into contracts Is not unrestricted , but Is subject to restriction under the police power of the state. In regard to the Insurance business , his conclusion Is that the business Is not of a sufllclcntly public nature to come under the police pow er. Judge Munger goes on to say : "If the state may llx the amount of. compensation for which an insurance company may lawfully contract for furnishing such insurance the state may dictate the price for which nil other commodities shall bo sold in cluding the price which may bo paid for labor. This cannot be done. The fourteenth amendment protects the right of those engaged In a purely pri vate business to llx the price nt which they will sell their services or com modities.

Rbferended Laws Cause a Big Expense Account. Mitchell , S. D. , Nov. 18. Since the election bills have commenced to be filed with the county auditors a great howl has gone up all over the state concerning the excessive expense that has boon incurred for tlie vote on the laws that were roferended and the amendments to the constitution of the state. In many counties the print ing bills have reached large sums. The roferended laws and the amendments to the state constitution were required lo be published 111 throe papers of the county four weeks , and these made about f out t pen columns of solid matter tor , and charged for at the legal rates luis umdo the sum extremely large Abide from that the printing of the ballots for the' referondcd laws ani amendments entailed a large expense In this county , Davison , the printing and publishing of the laws cost UK county $1,9'80 , and this Is one of the smallest counties in the state. Ii larger counties the expense would b < proportionately larger. The countlni of the amendment ballots also In creased the expense of the electloi judges , as in many cases tlie worl l was not completed until nearly nooi the day following election.
