Anions a" th "revivals" of the las,
season or two In the icalm of light
upera, none has been more adequately
ilone than has "The Chimes of Nor
mandy." Nor, by that same token, does
it occur that any Is more worthy of re
lal than this old friend. To most of I
those who at In tho crowded pit of the
Rvandels last nlsht the performance was
more like n premier; for, although moro
than a generation has passed since
I'lanquette's delightful operetta was tven
to the world, it has not been very much
ieard In America for at least a quarter
if a century. Other things have occupied
i he minds of the public, and noisier and
far less tuneful entertainment has been
mrrvshed at the theater, until a full gen
cation of theatergoers has grown up who
irver heard the full score of "Tho Chimes
if Normandy."
Messrs. Aborn have richly bedecked the
three acts of the piece and huvo provided
light liberally for its presentation in
other ways- What was said last year
nbout the matter of adding vaudeville
stunts to the genulno attractions of "The
lluhemUn dlrl" upplles equally well to
this. The music, tho story, the Bltua
nons of "The Chimes of Normundy" are
sufficiently entertaining in themselves,
and now, as In days gone by, "good wine
needs no bush." But the extra features
of tho bill are such as intght properly ne
introduced at fair or fete and nrr easily
tolerated because of tho "atmosphere"
they create; and that Is part of the staKe
inanaBcr'H buslnesi In these days of
real" things at the theater,
enthusiasm for the opening perform
ance of the local engagement Is easily un
derstood; the music was carefully played
by the orchestra under the direction of
Mr. Arundel; tho singing wus splendid n
nil ways, and the whole moved with a
celerity and finish that was enjoyublc.
Most interest in the affair centers
around Herpolette. an ideal role for a
soubrctte, and miss Bradford proves very
nearly an Ideal In the part. She Is clever.
Chlo. sings very well, dances gracefully,
nnd enhance the part greatly by her per
onal beauty. Ah OermaJnc, Miss I,eon
Is also most deidrable. Her voice Is of
beautiful quality, and In the last act last
night rani, out with remarkable power
and melody. Mr. Major lyoks the part of
the marquis, acts well, and uses Ids
magnificent baritone voice most effec
tively. Mr. Hayden's Urenlchlcux affords
much of the comedy and a goud share of
the music, Uis pure tenor voice going very
veil with the store. Mr. Wolff's Oaspard
may be fully praised by saying It waa Just
sui'h a performance of the part as lias
inado him the greatest Gaspard of all

First Train Ever
Run Into Macksburg
Makes the Journey
C'ltKfcTON, In- Jan. S.-(Spcclal.)-The
first train over the new Creston, Winter
set & Des Moines railroad to Macksburg
left Creston Tuesday morning, earning
officials of the load and trustees of the
different townships along the right-of-way
which have voted taxes for the build
ing of the road. The line, which IS twenty-one
miles In length, was completed on
the evening of December 31 and Tuesday
morning farmers and people along the
line gathered at Stacksburg to welcome
tho train, the first one to enter the town
in the fifty years of its existence.
negular passenger nnd freight traffic
will not be commenced for some time yet,
as there is still considerable construction
work and grading necessary to put Its
right-of-way Into shape. Irregular freight
traffic, however, will he commenced at
once. A quantity of freitrht Is now on
hand nwaltlng transportation and Presi
dent Ulchard Brown today secured per
mission from tho Stato Railroad commis
sion to handle It.
Terminals, both In Creston and at
Macksburg, together with switching faclll
ties and yards, will lo constructed at
once. The details will bo decided upon
at a meeting of the board of directors of
tho road, which will be held In Creston
today. Tho present Creston terminal Is
In the extreme eastern part of tho city.
To arrange a more adequate terminal It
Is proposed to build directly Into the busi
ness section and operntu cars to the city
limits by gasollne-eleetrto motive power.
This is one of the question. tho directors
will pass un. The questions of shops and
roundhouses, together with new stations
along the line, will also be constdored.
Construction woik on the new road com
menced September 1. The cost of the road
Into Macksburg was POO.OO). This waa
met out of the proceeds of the sale of a
lluO.tiOO bond Issue, J173.COO of which is held
by the Iowa Bond and Security company,
a local coriMiratlon. and from the sale of
JlW.ttW worth of stock, and also from
taxes voted the road. The company was
capitalized at IW.OOO. The officers are:
It. Brown, president; C. K. Wilson, vice'
president; M. V. Harris, second vice presi
dent; A. S. Lynn, secretary, nnd W. W.
Walker, treasurer. Practically all of the
stock Is hold by Creston and Macksburg
men and farmers living alonjr the Inc.
It Is not expected that the work of ex-
"tluu s"ira ii ana an
of the sum must be raised before work Is
commenced. The (entire proceeds from
the sale of stock ajid bonds at tho present
time has been utilized.

Lonely In Life's Afler
niMin, Who is Anna Warrington? And why
should one care who sho Is, anyway?
Well, shn was once a beautiful woman
and her face was made Immortal by a
great painter In a picture that Is one of
tho, most romantic ever painted. It Is the
portrait Of a kiss. The artist was Carolun
DurAn Ahd Anna Warrington was the girl
receiving the kiss. It' I a beautiful pic
ture.
And Anna U'arrlngtonT
She Is an old. old woman and lives
alono In a little English village, poor and
plain ahd .unknown.
But forty years ago, how different'
Ye.lt was forty yeara ago that the beau
tiful lilts, picture was pointed.
,. be&uwui woman is reclining in her
lover's arms and receiving tho kiss full
on the mouth. And how ardently does
the lover hbld her, one strong hand be
neath her head, the other against her
walt, clasped over by her own little, soft
hand and her arm flung about hla neck
in the abandon of loving, and thi two
beautiful faces together.
And that woman was Anna Warring
ton. She Was In the full glory of her charms
wheli She posed for the famous kiss pic
ture, ahd It is said that the reason Duran
painted It with such exquisite tenderness
was that he was at the time passlonatel)
In lov with his beautiful model. The
lover Ih the picture Is almost a portrait
of Dilran In the days of his youth.
When she found she was getting too
old to pose she went to work as a de
signer at M0 a week and life turned
prosaic and colorless. It dazed her a lit
tle. Her life a short time ago had been
filled with marvelous promises. But that
was yoilth, and somehow llfo had not
maue good. Why could one not always
be like the girl In "Le Baiser?" she asked
herself. Life was so beautiful then, and
Anha Warrington never dreamed it would
be, could be, anything else.
And now she Is all alone and Durnn Is
pii old man and has forgotten, New York

sham, tho attorney general, toward the
Application of (llinrles 1. Hyde for par
don. The nltorney gencinl aaked me to
re.iicHt Judge Klllott to withhold Hyde's
commitment slxtyt days ponding the con
sideration of tho application for pardon
bv the president.
"1 legarded the request ns an unusual
practice. It had not been accorded to
other persons convicted in the district
during my term of five nnd a half years,
in which thero' has been n great many
convictions, nnd I felt that Hyde wus en
titled to thn same treatment accorded
other persons convicted of crime. The
cae from the beginning baa Involved a
very great struggle. When Hydn was
convicted and tho conviction sustained
by JudRO Klllott and the United .States
circuit court of appeals, I felt that tho
cause of Justice had accomplished some
thing of a victory and In view of the
fight Hyde, because of his Immense
wealth, has been nble to make, thn final
determination of the rase in thn courts
estuhllHheti llui fact that all persons, re
gardless of wenlth or Influence, received
the snino treatment.
"it Ih a complete refutation of the
charges sometimes made thnt tho courts,
nnd especially tho federal courts, favor
those with money. Hydn has been dealt
with throughout as an ordinary parson
uecused nnd convicted of crime, nnd I
could not agree with the attorney gen
eral that his commitment ought to be
withheld by the court pending the con-shb-rutlon
of his application for piWulon."
