also a personal friend of John 1).
Rockefeller and In a position to know
of his affairs, tin* latter proposes
soon to make a princely cift to New
York City. It will amount to at
least $50,000,000 It will he part
ly charitable and partl> educational.
The Herald will add
“This man sab! t’- tt when Mr.
Rockefeller was conferring with his
son at I .tike wood. N. .1.. a tort night
ago. the meeting was not for tin pur
pose of discussing any immediate
gift but was on the subject of Mr.
Rockefeller’s will, which document
tin* oil king was then completing
witp the aid of his son and his law
yers.’’
It was said that this document will
astonish the world when it is made
public. It will. It is declared, do
nate no less than $250,000,000 for
charitable and educational purposes,
and it will he so bestowed that the
benefit therefrom will almost he pet

The manner In which these be
quests will he bestowed Is said to In*
maim educational and charitable.
While there are some contributions
for religious purposes it is stated
that Mr. Rockefeller does not think
it necessary to extend any great fi
nancial aid to churches. To his man
ner of thinking, the churches are
growing stronger and stonger and
there is no danger that they will ever
need any great financial assistance
rrom any one man.
Mr. Rockefeller, however, is said
to be much in favor of the growth of
education and to the furtherance of
this great end he has done much in
his will. He believes that education
will make this country the greatest
In the world and that every cent con
tributed toward that object will help
to make better citizens and better
Christians.
As to the charitable bequest, it
was said some time ago that Mr.
Rockefeller had in mind building
model tenements for the poor, such
as have been erected in some Ruro
pean cities.

success he enjoyed during his one

So called "Musical Comedy," un
der the false badge of “Comic Opera"
iw a misnomer, it has its place and
its following, lint there Is as much
difference between It and comic

night.
'Every effort to raise the dignity
»’f light or comic opern 1ms mot with
the cordial support of the best critics
"f the American press. It Is a com
mon past time, that of "dead catting
the critic with opprobrious speech:”
' et it cannot ho denied that every
meritorious comic opera presentation
during the past few years has met
with their cordial support. With
hardly an exception they have prnis
* d that which was worthy and un
mercifully flayed that which was
lacking in dignity, merit or worth.

lo run counter to public taste.
There is no species of the drama,
which is more worthy the attention
nd support of a cultivated mind
Mian comic opern of the right sort,
'fet, every time that the serious
drama has met with failure, the cry
lias gone up that a depraved public
taste has preferred light or eomlc
opera instead. There |s trust and
there is untruth In the statement
that the public has nearly always
nreferred opera to tragedy. That the
reason for this preference lies in a
vitiated public taste, is unworthy of
n sensible man’s attention. From the
time of Shakespeare, the "good old
times" as they were called, to the
oresent. the theatre-going public has
not supported representations of the
more exalted drama except w'hen
presented by great artists, artists of
great dramatic abilities who were
able to properly portray classic char
acters.
