The eternal and infinite answer to} the finite and temporal questions of] the why of sin and pain is held most surely in Wagner's great music-drama of "Parsifal," played at the Grand, on Tuesday night, by a company which has few tryingly weak points and many notably strong ones. "Kun dry,' Miss RNeating; "'Parsifal," Mr, Connor; "Gregory, ' Mr. Guthrie; 'Antortas," Mr. McKee; Sir Gurne- mang, Mr. Murry; the main players, all with hard and trying parts, so did their work that at fo tune was the development of the theme marred. This was borne witness to by the quietness of the audience, to many members of which the story of the quest and thi warding of the Holy Grail, stood not even for the merest symbolism, Most people know a brief outline of the drama's history. How that Wag- ner wrote it, never meaning that in should be played and sung outside of bis own Beyreuth, where men and wo- uwen, specially fitted by the purity of their lives, might enact the story of the redemptive power of love How | that after the master's death, and the copyright had expirad that i riedd brought it to New York, and put it, on .there, despite i / Con-| the protests of] and how thou-| sands heard it, and the papers teemed | with eriticism favorable and unfavor-| able, So much for the way we, on| this continent, have been given the privilege of witnessing it. { The story itself fastens round 1 Holy Grail, or the cup used by Lord at the Last Supper, and spear ensanguined by His blood, which | coming from Joseph of Arithmathea,| are kept in the castle of the Grail, | guarded by Tintorel and his knights. | On the death of Tintorel, his son, | Anfortas, is charged by Gregory, the the | the! its priestly chaplain, with the care of the Grail, and to him is also given the sacred spear. Self-confident, Anfor- | tas goes forth to battle with Kling-| sor, knight of rankest pagan land. | He firat falls a vietim to the lures of Kundry, a woman who has been curs- ed to the work of leading men to destruction, and then, in combat with Klingsor, loses the sacred spear, hit not before the evil knight has used it to wound Anfortas with a wound that will not stanch, In deep contrition for his unworthi- ness Anfortas returns to the castle of the Grail, were to hear the prophecy that he must suffer till a guileless fool, enlightened by pity, shall come and heal him. Parsifal, the shepherd hoy, deeply loved by, and deeply lov- ing his mother, is brought among the knights, and on being chided for having killed a harmless swan, in sorrow for the suffering he sees: he has caused, breaks his mighty bow, which none but he, in the great strength of his unsullied manhood, may bend, and thus pity dawns with- in him. Hatred and fear of this "guileless fool" fills Klingsor's mind, and he seeks to tempt, through one of his knights, the lad, still a shop- herd, to join his standard. Parsifal will have none of the evil knight, and clad in his shepherd garh, wrestles with Klingsor's armed and belted fol lower, and overcomes. Again a deep flood of pity sweeps over him, and he stoops to raise the vanquished knight, and seeing this Gregory again recalls the prophecy of the guileless fool. and the part he was to play in the healing of the king's grievous wound Kundry, in the meanwhile, is sent to allure the shepherd lad, not = yet sent forth to search for the lost spear. They meet, and to the soul of the man comes the inspiration to the at- tainment of greater heights of holiness which only love can bring, and. in the soul of the woman; too, is born the love, which growing and strengthen- ing at last bursts the chains of evil by which Klingsor has bound her. There are many beautiful scenes. One when the king, besought by his knights, shows =the Holy Cap, sight of which he has selfishly withheld, lest he, looking upon it, might be kept longer uving in his pain. Again, when after easily putting aside the seductions of many flower-crowned lovely maidens, DParsifal is once more tempted by Kundry, and over MODERN METHODS They Have Improved a Standard Remedy. In the seventeenth century a wave of excitément swept over England and France when the medical profession discovered such wonderful curative ele ments in the cod's liver. In the eighteenth century cod liver oil was @ and used extensively by physicians in this country, but it was found to be adulterated to a great extent, and the uscless heavy oil which enveloped the medicinal ele- ments, a great hindrance to its medi cinal value. In 1865 a famous physician from The Hague went to Norway and after two years of experiment and research pro- duced a light brown oil from the cods' livers which was said to be move val. taste and odor was so repulsive that it frequently caused such nausea that it made it un .

Into the castle garden walks, one day, a knaight in shining mail, the visor of his silver helmet lowered, and in bis band the mystic spear, blood-tipped. Hastening to refresh the visitor Kundry, the pénitent, sees the face of Parsifal, and to hoth comes the thought that this is but the cul mination of sacrifice. Humbiy bathes the knight's feet, asking for giveness for the curse she laid on him when she herself was writhing in the grasps of Kligsor's evil will, while he, on his side, deplores - the fail ings of the ten years gone. Behind them, wise through age and goodness, Sir Guarnemanz tells them that pain having done its work the joy of love may be theirs. He then. vests Pagsiial in the robes of warder of the Holy Grail, and bids him accomplish that for which he had pledged himself, and heal the king's wound. Clothed in his white robes, and holding the spear, Parsifal holds out his hand to Kundry, who moves away. "Unworthy, oh, my lord !"" she 'says, but turns, at last, obedient- lv to him at the command, "Come."

"The Great Divide," the most strik- ing dramatic success the American stage has seen for a guarter ol a cen- tury, will be played at The Grand on Thrsday, April 23rd. No drama of recent years has commanded so much attention as "Ihe Great Divide." Fon nearly two entire seasons it attracted crowded houses to the Princess and Daly's theatres, New York, having been presented in the metropolis more than 500 times. The road tour was directed by Henry Miller, whose name is inseparably linked with the suc cess of the play. The cast was select. great care, and the produgtion which will be seen here is an exact duplicate of the New York original. "The Great Divide' has been pronounced by many critics to be the "long awaited 'Great American play." No other drama has so well reflected the manhood, the freedom, the. honesty, and the indo- mitable spirit characteristic of the people of our great country. With the first two acts laid in Arizona. and the third in Mmssachusetts. "The Cowboy And The Squaw." P. H. Sullivan announces the initial performance of his latest comedy- drama, "The Cowboy And The The Cowhoy and The Squaw.' The Grand Opera House, Saturday. at Friday and Squaw," to take place at the Grand on Friday and Saturday, April 24th and 25th, with a matinee on Satur- day afternoon. This piece is said to depict life in the far west with' so much realism as to almost carry one away into the land of the cowboys. It tells of the true love of Bronco Bob for an eastern maid, and the many trials he is foreed to endure in order to keep her out of the clutches of a rival cowboy. The great climax of the third act is declared to be so daring and hair-raising as to carry the audience off their feet in excite ment. It is a rpce between a wild steer, to whick?Brouco Bob has been roped by his opponent and a wild bronco which is ridden by a faithful squaw, and who finally succeeds in cutting the ropes and thereby releas- ing the victim: This scene is worked in full view of the audience and is said to produce the greatest effect { W { { ON EXPLOSION AT LIGHT WILL SUBMIT REPORT PLANT LAST YEAR. -- Will Be Presented to Council at Kext Meesting--Business Before Light, Heat and Power Com- mittee. The regular heat and power meeting of the light, committee was hald on Tuesday afternoon. The chairman, Ald. Givens, presided, and also pre sent were: Alds. Elliott, Couper, Chown, McCartney, McCann and Man- ager Folger. Mr. Gildersleeve, manager of the Kingston Milling company, wrote as iollows i "Having secured water power from Kingston Mills, we wish to transmit same to Kingston, for manufacturing purposes, and herewith beg to apply for permission to eater the city on same terms and condi- tions as grantédito "J. M. Campbell, December 19th, 1904." Ald. Chown favored the remewal of the lease, and considered that the in- terests of the city would be well guarded. Ald. Elliott was anxious to secure some information concerning the matter, before amy action was taken, and on his motion, it was decided that no action be taken at present, but that Mr. Campbell be gsked to explain the delay in the developing of power from Kingston Mills. The Colgnial Engine Co., 1ad., Mon- treal, wrote, offering to install a lighting plant for the city. It was decided that in view of the recent im- provements, the committee was not in a position to consider any such offer, In regard " to the examination of streets where gas maine had been in- stalled, Mr. Campbell reported that the city engineer had suspested wait- ing until the streets had been scrap- ed. When the work was completed, the inspection would be made, and a report submitted. My. Folger reported on unfinished extensions, and the committee will re- commend that the work be gone on with, which will include répairs to concrete tank, guide roller on upper left of new gas holder, as well as other work. The members were unani- mous in the opinion that the work should be gone on with as soon as possible. Superintendent Folger brought up the matter of the sale of some of the second hand machines. Mr. Foléoer was given power to advertise and re ceive bids on the same. Another matter taken up was that of tenders for repairs to the cas generator. It Las undergone very little repairs since it was installed. It was estimated that 2600 would he required to make the negessary re- pairs. The chairman was instruetad to get prices on hew generator, and also a figure on the cost of the. re- pairs. Mr. Folger was asked to submit a report to the council, recarding the explosion last year at the light plant. The matter was under discussion at the last council geting. Cataraqui Cemetery Needs. When next the board of directors of Cataraqui cemetery meet there are one of two small facts that are worthy of their consideration, A grave tent would be a great help to those engaged in burying friends and relatives, especially on a wet or a hot summer day. A telephone in Su- perintendent Nichols' house would also be a great benefit, too. Thesa things are suggested to the cemetery company directors. It is said that the directors are considering the gues- tion of erecting a bell over the cemetery gate to be tolled as a fune- ral enters.

Englisn Girl. 19.30 o'clock, un evening, in the western part of the! city, an incident occurred that was| decidedly interesting and unique. Very | little noise was made and the trouble! was witnessed by only one or two | people who happened to pass by. Iti seems that an English girl and her! fellow were walking along, slowly, asf they sometimes do, when they were accosted by another chap, who duime) ed that the fellow had "cut him out." | The boys had some words, and at | some stages of the game the joined in. Finally the bovs decided to | fight it eut, and, like the plot of a| western melodrama, thé lady decided | to let the victor eseort her home { For some minutes the serap lasted, | and. it was a good fast contest.

Host Harris furnish- ed an excellent menu, and after full justice had been done to the good things prepared by him, the following toasts were drunk 3 "The King"; "The Profession," proposed by Dr. Morrison and responded to by J. Stead; "The Year," proposed by R. J. Ellis, with response by J. J. McCann; "The La- dies," proposed by J. E. Galbraith and response from O. W. Murphy and H. N. McKinnon. The singing of "Auld Lang Syne" brought the happy gathering to a close. BUSINESS MEN The Year a Pleasant { Much Interested in This.

Notice of a new counterfeit United States $5 bill has been received in this city. It is a very dangerous one, and would be readily accepted by tradesmen. The most notable defect is that the paper, instead of being of a steelblue, is rather white, giving the front of the note a washed or faded appearance, and the feather plumes around the Indian head. where they should look white, have the appear ance of being seratched with an eraser of a knife "blade, but this work was done onthe plate from which the bill was printed and not upon the paper. The back of the note, although too dark a shade of green and of rough engraving, presents the most danger- ous part of it. Your Stomach Is All Right.

Belleville Intelligencer It has come to light that the council will be compelled to reconsider its estimates for the present year ow ing to a mistake having been made. It is alleged that the cily treasurer, in making out his list failed to take into account one item | of about $5,000, namely. amounts pay- able in connection with granelithie walks. The addition of this sum the city's revenue will, we are told, 'enable -the--souncil to lower. the tax rate between 'one and two-mills, so that the rate will probably be in the neighborhood of twenty-five and a hall mills, instead of twenty-seven. to Keep This Date.
