All aorta and condiOona of people were

In th Fifth Avenue hotel. New Tork, with
the determination to write a letter on the
subject for publication. He said nothing; to
Mr. Gorman about his Intention until th
fetter had been written and read by th
candidate to several friends. Then hs vis
ited Mr. Gorman's room.
"I have written a letter about that Maria

I thought I would read It to you before

So saying. Mr. Cleveland drew from aa

author never witnessed during his life

There hare so far been two productions

Emma Calve la seen here not as th
Salom of 8trauss'a forbidden opera, but as
th heroine of Massenet's "Herod! ad a." In
that work, which deals with the last days
of John the Baptist. Salome ta not so Im
portant as her mother. Herodlas. Thla
Salome is also in love with John, but ah
does not know that he la the man who la
constantly denouncing; ber mother for her
adulterous marrlaee with her brother-in-law.
The Herod of this piece, which is largely
based on th romance of Flaubert, is also
in love with Salome, but does not know
that she Is his steo-daurhtiw. her mother
bavins- concealed the facts of her paramaa-a.
The mother makes her daughter, who is a
dancing girl a-r to the wish of Herod
th. ahe dance in order to avenge herself
on John.
Th wlf of th tetrarch makes her hus
band promise her anything- she wants on
condition that she persuade the girl to
dance. In vain Salome begs that her loves-
be spared when she hears that she has)
unwittingly caused his bead to be In dang-es.
The queen compels her husband to carry
out his pro ml- ana oiooa on us spear oa
a soldier shows to cuiorne that John has
been murdered.
Bhe rushes to kill Herodlas. but learns)
that she is her daughter. Then she kills
herself.
