PARSIFAL.
O ye who dwell on the
shore sarrtd to the virgin sorid.ss of
the gulden nhit f tn where the
Orr-eks meet In fHmou council
KKin dhnll the Klorlmm voire ot the
flute go up lor you a si In rr nuiidlns;
with no harsh strain of grief, but
with surh music us the lyre maketh
to the god! SOPHOCLES.
Bo much has been written of l'arslfal,
nd the opinions put forth by celebrated
crltlrs, and those of humbler degree, have
been so varied, that one who hat seen and
benrd the great sacred music-drama at
Bayreuth, In the heart of Its historic and
wonder-laden atmosphere, feel entitled to
a word or two of comment.
The flrat sensation at the trnnsplnntlns; of
Parsifal to other and unsympathetic place
Is one of sorrowful regret. It means the
breaking of a" great tradition; there art ao
few traditions left In this twentieth cen.
tury world of ours that the destroying of
one of such beauty and deep meaning can
not help but grieve us.
But looking farther out across the horl
son sentiment, the progressive element
merges. It Is the old philosophy of the
Boer war, and the pith of the White Man's
Burden. Few people, of course, could be
come familiar with Parsifal, as long a Its
Sole place of performance was at Bayreuth:
o, as England reiched out for the gold
f elds, Mr. Conreld went forth for thla won
derful work.
I cannot In my mind reconcile the rest
lessness of a great American city with the
reverent atmosphere, and peaceful, calm
frame of mind which are necessary parts
ef the perfect whole.
Necessary Preparations. '
Parsifal should be undertaken In the
tumble, worshipful spirit of the old pil
grims. Due preparation Is absolutely need
ful to feel and appreciate Its beauties. One
must he saturated with tbe religious feel
ing and approach Wagner's divine revela
tion as one would come to the communion
table Itself. After It Is finished, from the
Inmost soul come the words, "Lord, what
muslo bast Thou provided for Thy saints
In heaven, when Thnu affordest bad men
surh music on earth!"
The singers, whom I was fortunate
nnugh to hear in July, 1RSS, were among
the greatest who ever attempted the roles.
Van Dyck was the Parsifal, then In the
glory of Ms powers. Combined with a
beautiful voice, he bad a youthful, buoy
ant presence, and a singularly sensitive
face. He carried out Ideally the sense of
mystery.
Frauleln Malten sang Kundry. the part
ef the woman who "when a young maiden
riad seen the Savior on the path of His
passion and had laughed at Him. As a
penalty for her act she Is doomed to live
forever, longing for death, and seducing
to sin all men who approach her. Only
If a, man Is able to resist her allurements
can she be redeemed from her curse."
Malten burned the part Into one's memory.
The gradual change and awakening from
the hideous bondage to freedom and light
was tremendous.
Everybody knew and loved Theodore
Ttelrhmnnn. Most will remember him aa
Hans Sachs, sitting In his doorway, gray
nd kindly, watching over the fortunes of
Eva and Walter. His Amfortaa was a
masterpiece of dignity and beauty. The
trlcken king, full, of grief at Ma downfall
nd loss of the CI rail, and racked by cease
less suffering In consequence of his sin,
had In him a worthy Interpreter. , Reich
mann's voice wss one to conjure with deep,
melodious and filling every corner with Its
woetness. These characters I remember
with great distinctness. The others seem
to have faded with the years.
The orchestra also made a deep and last

fulness is destroyed, and he becomes a burden to himself and an object of pity to the rest of
mankind. Contagious Blood Poison is the most annoying, humiliating and degrading of all
diseases. It is as treacherous and elusive as the serpent. Under the mercury and potash treat
ment all external evidences of it may disappear and the victim misled, be buoyed up by false
hopes of a cure, while the disease may
even then have fastened its fangs in
some vital spot within the system,
where it is doing its destructive
work unseen. Mercury has arrayed
against it thousands upon thousands
of physical wrecks and chronic inva
lids who have been dosed for years
and their systems saturated with these
powerful drugs, only to be harassed
by constantly returning symptoms
and confronted with unmistakable
traces of blood poison years after. As
long as your blood is tainted with this
awful virus you are a source of infec-
tion and danger to all who come in contact with you, and your children will carry in their veins
the same dreadful contagion. As long as there is life in the serpent there is danger in its
fangs, and so long as any signs of Contagious Blood Poison remain there is danger of infection.
Safety lies in crushing out the life of this loathsome disease and killing the serpent, and no
remedy known does this so thoroughly and permanently as S. S. S. It is an antidote for this
peculiar virus that spreads through the system, defiles the blood and contaminates all healthy
tissues and threatens every organ and part of the body.
S. S. S. contains no mineral of any description, but is guaranteed entirely vegetable, and we

charge, and mail you a copy of our home-treatment book telling all about Contagious Blood
Poison, its different stages and symptoms, and a lot of interesting information about this formid

ing lmprelon tipn me. The whole great
body of men and Instruments was under
a double screen and arranged upon steps,
which descended a long way under the
tng, as Into a kind of cave, the noisy
Instruments at the back. The arrangement
whs that of an ordinary orchestra exactly
reversed. Nothing could be seen. The
effect was simply one of exquisite sound
coming from no visible source. The whole
field was dedicated to the exquisite delight
of listening, the house being absolutely
dark until the beginning of the act.
The visitor Is steeped In the atmosphere
of the little town before climbing the long
hill to the Festival theater. Very early

beauty-loving mad king of Bavaria, who '

his long-cherished Ideals.

old place. Graven above the entrance door
Is this Inscription: "Here Is where my Imagi
nation has found peace. This house shall

week during the senson gives entertain
ments to which she Invites her personal
friends and a few of the happy elect. Fa
mous artists gladly give their services, and
precious are the memories of the hours
pussed In the house of the Master.
In the grounds of the estate, In a spot se
lected by himself, Wagner Is burled. I
gathered an Ivy leaf from the place where
he lies.
The tomb of Abbe Liszt must not be for
gottenrather his body rests In a little
chapel, which Is continually filled with
wreaths and cards and fresh flowers by his
worshippers. Llsit was the father of
Coslma Wagner and had come to visit her
when his last sickness overtook him.
Daughter of LIsxt, divorced wife of Hans
von Bulow, faithful wife and widow of
Richard Wngner, Coslma Wagner Is a
woman of marvelous personality and power.
Bhe has carried the Bayreuth plan on her
shoulders since the death of her great hus
band In the face of every obstacle -hlch
has arisen. The transplanting of Parsifal
has been to her a heart-breaking uffalr.
Diverse Views of Critics.
The critics seem to have gone mad over
"Parsltai." The difference of opinion and
thu general pandemonium inuke uno lung
to slop one's ears. ,
There Is Albert Lavignac, the great vag
nuilan authority. To lam Wagner Is al
most a Ood. He says: "Before this co'.os
sal genius and his gigantic work we must
bow with uncovered heads, but remain
mute, since silence is, In some cases, the
highest and most eloquent form of venera
tion. We look at the sun and watch
It In Its course, but we never think of con
gratulating It on its power, nor that Its
glory would In any way be augmented by
the addition of our mite of personal appre
ciation." Of Wagner's work he declares "Parsifal"
to be "the masterpiece par excellence of
the new and complex power which lis
labored to create; there the fusion Is com
plete. The composer and the dramatist
are at last one, and emotion attains the
hlshest powers."
On the other hand Is that somber-hued
scholar, Nordau, and his followers, who
affirm that "Parsifal" Is the crowning
folly of a madman and a degenerate, the
work of a falling mind and antagonistic
to every Christian principle In Its concep
tion. Spectacular, blinding by the magnlfl
ccnoe of Its production the reasoning pow
ers of the men and women who witness
It. They call Wagner'a work the product
of mysticism and claim that he has only
one essential constituent of Cramatlc en
dowment viz; a picturesque. Imagination.
Ha never reproduces normal life, but re
sorts to gods and deml-gods, cemons and
spectres, and launches mysterious desti
nies, curses and prophecies, fatal and
maglo forces. In Walhalla, where deeds
and motives need not be explained, lie
revels.
Rays Nordau: "In his graphomanlacal
muddle he concocted certain theories,
which expressed so many fits of aesthetic
delirium. Most Important of these are the
dogma of the leit-motif and of the unend
ing melody. It was not vntll Wagner had
passed his 40th ytar that he began to know
the Intoxication of universal fame, and In

The worst disease the world has ever known, and the greatest scourge
to the human race, is Contagious Blood Poison. One drop of the virus of
this loathsome disease will pollute and vitiate the purest and healthiest
blood, and within a short time after the first little sore appears the system
is filled with the awful poison ; the skin breaks out in a red rash, the
glands of the groins begin to swell, the throat and mouth become ulcer
ated, the hair and eyebrows drop out, and often the entire surface of the
body is covered with copper-colored splotches, pustular eruptions and sickening-looking
sores and abscesses. Many a man has been cut down in
the prime of life, or his health so impaired by this vile disease that use

To the lover of Wagner and his work
this criticism seems little short of desecra
tion, and still It Is well to know both sides
of an argument.
The rare pleasure In store for Omaha
people In the visit of Walter Damrosch
and his orchestra, when he will explain
the score of "Parsifal," looms delightfully
near at hand. That he will hare a rousing
house to greet him Is my sincere wish.

he hurried In to breakfast one morning

"They are as clean as can be," replied
Dick, evasively.
"Son," persisted his mother, "I want
you to answer me. Have you washed
those hands with hot water and soap?"
Dick was forced to confess that be

A Russian Bear Story,
There are two kinds of bears in Russia.
Here is a true story of one: Two girls,
aged 6 and 13, wero attacked by a huge
bear and the younger was carried off,
while the elder, terror-stricken, fled home
and gave the alarm. For three days the
Inhabitants of three villages sought In
vain for the lost child. Finally a cordon
was drawn around an extensive tract of
forest and the searchers closing In dis
covered the bear and her booty In a dense
thicket. The child was perfectly un
harmed and reclined In a deep mossy
couch made for her by the bear. She
had gotten over her first fright and had
subsisted fairly well on nuta and other
forest fruit brought to her by the gentle
monster. The freakish but kindly dis
posed animal was summarily killed by the
villagers. New York Press.
I am compelled by a sense of gratitude to tell
you of tbe great good your remedy baa done
me. Among other symptoms I was severely
aSlloted with Rheumatism, and got almost past
going. The disease got a firm bold upon my
system; my blood was thoroughly poisoned
with the virus, as characterized by the usual
symptoms. I lost In weight, was run down,
had sore throat, eruptions, splotches and other
evidences of the disease. I was truly In bad
shape when I began 8. 8. 6., but the persistent
use of It brought me out of my trouble, safe and
sound, and I have the courage to pnblioly tes
tify to the virtues of your great blood remedy.

Easter trad with retailers has been only
fair, taking the country tributary to this
market as a wnole. luo aemuuu was bel
ter Ui laiier half of the wek and tbe
reason that It was not busk the eariy part
was the cold and stormy weatner. 1'ha
general opinion is ttt wuh tliu advent of
more seined wtather mei'Uianis will ex
perience a better trade atler faster thau
Uiey uld before.
in a Hnoieli way trade last week was
ot very sanstactoiy proporilona. Intra
were nut many buyers in me city, but that
was to be wipeoled. Traveling men. how
ever, picked up quite a few orders on the
road, I or immediate shipment and they
also met with good suooeas In lauding su
vance business tor fall. All things coil
siuered Juubers say they have no cause
for complaining ahout the present situa
tion, in tact, taking the month of March
as a wnole ail previous records have been
broken in a number of lines, and the total
volume of bualiios transacted In Omaha
cuiupares very iavorably wlUi Marco of
luBt year or of any former year.
There have been no startling develop
ment during the week under review so
far aa the market situation is concerned.
Values are sitli on the same firm founda
tion they have been for some time past
and good, strong, healthy markets are
luukeu for In the future. The tendency of
prices la undoubtedly upward rather than
otherwise, aa wUl oo seen from the changes
noted below. . t ,
Collections are reported aa being none
too brisk. With more soitled weather,
however. Jobbers expect a big Improve
ment In that line und aa a result they
are doing no worrying.
Advance iu Price of Sugar.
Wholesale grocers report business aa
being In a very satisfactory condition. All
seuonable and stuplu goods are moving out
tieely and sales are largely in excess ot a
year ago. The market is nrm on prac
tically all lines. The sugar market. In
laci. Is a little higher, an advance of 6
cents per luu pouiius having gune into ef
fect last wee. Haws are aiso quoted
strong, wltii me demand unusually ueavy
for tins season of Uie year.
In Uio line of cereuis the only change
since lust report Is a stronger teellug nil
lolled oats. While prices nave not ma
terially advauced, slill conditions are
favorable lor higher prices iu the near
future. Outs suitable tor milling purposes
are very scarce und hard to obtain and
In addition to that spot oats have ad
vanced i coins per bushel. This lias
strengthened the market on rolled oats
and an advance all ulong the line would
cause no surprise.
The market on cheese Is strong, end
October-niaue goods ure hard to get, stocks
being pretty well cleaned uu. Umburger
and brick cheese are quoted higher than
they were a week ago.
There Is a very good demand for prac
tically the entire line of canned goods,
Wlilcll Includes both fruits and vegetables.
Gallon pie peaches, which are quite an
Important tactor In the canned goods
trade, are becoming exceedingly scarce and
holders on the coant have advanced their
lueas 26 cents per duxeii and In some cases
even more. Corn and tomatoes are un
changed so far aa quotations go, but ths
market Is strong, with the demand active.
There is a brisk movement of dried
frulis. and particularly is tl.la true In the
case of apples, peaches, prunes and apri
cots. L'nder active trailing apricots have
advanced Kt't cent, while peaches and
apricots are strongly held at full prices.
In tact there Is every Indication of higher
prices on these lines. The market on
prunes, however, continues weak in spite
of the heavy consumptive di-mand. It
seems that the pressure to sell Inferior
grades In the northwest has greatly de
moralised the market, with very little
chance of Improvement In the near future.
The rumor la persistently heard that a
combination ot rice mills In the south Is
being formed, with John W. Oates as the
chief promotor. If this combination Is
brought about, as Is expected. It will re
sult fn all goods being sold through a cen
tral selling agency. This will, of course,
eliminate the cut-throat policy of sellers
which has resulted In ruinously low prices.
It la reported that the CMj.lial stock of this
corporation will be $1,500,000. Local Jobbers
sav that no matter what the outcome of
this agitation may be. It will be well for
merchants to carry rather liberal stocks so
as to be on tbe safe side.
House Trade olet.
There were comparatively few dry goods
merchants iu tbe city last week, uui not
many were expected, as they are too biuy,
just before taster, cariug fur ihe needs of
llielr customers to couie to market. I rum
ail reuurls received It Is learned, however,
mat business was only fair Iu llie country,
owing to the rains and cool weather, it
neeus warm weather to make taster trade
brisk. A good, steady demand, though, is
expected from tbla lime on, and ttulu Job
bers and retailers have no fear of trade
not coming up to their expectations.
Traveling men for local huuses are still
meeting with Kood success In their cam
paign r tall business and have more or
ders on their bunks at the present time
than they ever had before at Ibis season of
the year. The upard tendency of the
market, together with tbe outlook for a
siarrlty of desirable lines, no doubt ex-
f its Ins In a large measure their wllluignets
o buy early.

is nothing particularly new to report.
Prices are firm all along the line, but quo
tations on leading staples are JuBt about
the same as they were a week ogo. Job
bers are very confident that cotton goods
at present prices are good property and
that the merchant who falls to place his
order for fall goods at an early date
will find that he has made a mistake not
only on account of prices, but also owing
to the limited assortment that will be of
fered him late In the year.
Shortage of liarb Wire.
Hardware Jobbers report the demand as
being very brisk for practically all sea
sonaule goods. Bales In fact are consider
ably ahead of last year and some state
that they are selling more goods than ever
before. It seems that stocks In the coun
try were rather light this spring, owing
to the fact that merchants were afraid to
buy even staples last fall for fear of a
reduction In price. But now that the
tendency of the market Is upward rather
than downward, they are stocking up very
freely. The greatest difficulty being ex
perienced jy jobbers Is the same old
trouble of shortage of supplies. Even barb
wire Is short and wire cloth, poultry net-
ting
and many lines of steel goods are
not coming forward rapidly enough to
meet the requirements of the trade. A Job
ber who has Just returned from an eastern
trip said that In conversation with a rep
resentative of the United States Steel com
pany he learned that the sales of wire and
nails made by that corporation during
the month of March broke all previous
records. '
The market is practically the same as
It was a week ago. There have been a
few changes, but they are not of enough
Importance to be worth mentioning. The
general market Is In the same strong,
healthy condition that It 1 as been for
some time, past and the outlook Is con
sidered most encouraging.
Fair Demand for leather Goods.
Wholesalers report a very fslr demand
for leather goods, considering the time of
year. It Is also understood that the de
mand Is picking up with retailers and that
prospects are nrlght for a very success
ful season. Traveling men for locsl houses
are Just starting out with their fall sam

The Milks' Emulsion Co., Terre Haute. Ind. :
Uectlemen: As I often tell my friends, Milks' F.mulslon saved my life. And I
feel that the least I can do would be not to confine such strong evidence as I can offer
to my acquaintance alone, but to give it lo you for publication If you see fit. In the
winter of loi and lfctf I suffered a severe attack of pleurisy. Being manager of a
la rue retail shoe store In Dayton. O , at that time. I found it ImiKisslble to remain
away from the store long enough to receive proper medical attention. This resulted
la my being compelled lo give up my position In the spring. After a rest, t esme to
Terre Haute and acoepled a position wilb tbe J. H. Walsh Shoe Co. My old trouble
soon returned and, atler a great deal of doctoring, the pbysicians here advised aa
operation, and, upon opening my side, they removed one quart of water and pus,
which wss due, the doctors said, to a aeglccled case of pleurisy. After tbe first opera
tion my health continued to fall, until I ss an object of sympathy from all my
friends. It reduced me from a strong athlete of one hundred and eighty pounds to
one hundred and thirty-six pounds. Physicians told me I had lung trouble and in
order to save my lite I must leave this climate and go to Colorado. By this time I
hadn't sti-cogta enouuh left to make the trip and deoided the best place for me would
be with my parents at Hamilton, O. My friends snd co-employes, who took me to
tbe depot, were fearful that I would never make the trip home alive. After a few
days' rest si home, my father took me to a noted specialist at Cincinnati, where I
was again operated on snd received treatment, but was finally compelled to return
home without being benefitted By this time I was thoroughly discouraged and ready
to s-ive up all hope, having undergone four operations with the knife. In thut nmny
months. About that lime, however. Miss Kathryn Koach, itO South Fifth street.
Terre Haute. Ind.. sent me s package containing- a box of Milks' Emulsion, which
Miss Koach wrote me bad been highly recommended to her by friends In Terre
Haute. After using the first box. I felt greatly benefitted and wrote Mist Koach to
send me two more ooxes by mall at onoe. Hy the time I had used the three boxes ot
Milks' Emulsion I felt stromr enough to leave for Terre Haute, where I arrived about
September I. lvot. I continued to use your Emulsion and improved so rapidly that It
was omy a short time until I was able to return to my duties with the 3, B. Walsh
Shoe Co. I bave not undergone any more operations and my lungs and entire system
are as strong aa ever. I have gained over tweuty-Bve pounds Iu weight and feel as
healthy as 1 ever did. I feel it my duty to suffering humanity to explain what a
godsend Milks' Emulsion has been to ma No man can appreciate my feelings for
this truly wonderful remedy uuless be baa at some tune been able to turn back from
the very brink of the grave
Wishing you tbe success you so richly deserve. I remain,

ples of foot wear, but they have been out ,
scarcely long enough to do much business
as yet. It Is thought, however, that they
will land a good many orders right fiom ,
the start.
The rubber goods trade Is moving alnng
In very satlslactory condltien. The rain
and mud has helped the retailers sell mn i
ot the stonk they have on hand und has
aino Improved the demand for mackin
toshes, raincoats and that class of goods.
With the rormal amount of rainfall next
month a brisk demand for all kinds of
rubber goods is expected.
Fruits nnd Vegetables.

nrnv H . i .i n In U rittt anrt at that tirtr. '
meet with ready sale. Oranges are also so
cheap as to be very popular.
Receipts of poultry have been very light
and as the demand has been in good shape
prices hove been higher than for some
time past. Butter has not shown much
change and eggs are also selling about
where they were a week ago.

"Tales of Mystery" and marking a

few
changes and corrections.
"These will soon be forgotten," he said,
"Nevertheless," he added, hi !p curling
with scorn, "fifty or sixty years from
now everybody will be reading a lot of
clumsy imitations known as the Eherlook
Holmes stories and hailing them as some
thing new and original In the way of de
tective yams!" Hastily brushing his suit
of faded black he wont out to see if he
couldn't borrow a quarter from some
body. -Chicago Tribune.
