Spiders as Pets.

As spiders are for the most part banished
from every room where they are likely to hear
music, opportunities are very seldom afforded
of Witnessing their behavior under its influ.
ence, but occasionally people are met with
who do not share the general antipathy lS
these interesting and ill-used little creatures.
A few years ago the writer had conversation
about spiders with the waiter at Messrs. Bof.
fms well.known dining.rooms in Oxford. This
man had pet spider which lived in the sit.
tlng,room of his home, and he SAID that he
could always induce 1t to come out of its hole
by whstllng. The little creatures web was
carefully preserveH from injury, ana at the
time this interesting circumstance was related
to the writer, the spider was regarded as a pet
of the family. Similar cases might perhaps
be furnished by observant lovers of the animal
world but unfortunately very few people seem
to be aware of the spiders partially for music
If experiments were made with different kinds
of instruments by skillful musicians, it Is cX-
tremely probable shat very interesting results

MAX MARETZEK MISSING.

IIE DISAPPEARS FROM A ST. LOUIS HOTEL.
FINANCfA. FMnAER ,ssMENTs REPORTED TO BE
THE CAUsE-MR. MAREIZEK NOT sEEN SINCE
THURSDAY MORNING.
ST.. LOUIS, No. Dec. G.-Max Maretzek the man
agcr and director of the Maretzek English
Opera Company, performing at the
Grand Opera House in this city, has been missing
since Thursday morning. When last seen he was
pacing the rotunin of the Lindel Hotel In nervous
manner and remarked 10 n friend that be
would go out and take walk. Since that
time he has not been seen. nor are his whereabouts
known. Financial embarrassment is supposed to
bc the cause Of his disappearance.
he news of Mr. Maretzek's disappearance
had not become known to any OF his
friends TO any managers or musicians
not OF his personal acquaintance, last
night. Mr.. Maretzeks residence when in this
State is on Staten Island; but he occasionally
sleeps few nights at time at the home of one of
his two daughters. at No. 81 Fifth-avc. She
is married to Mr. Lindsey, WHO is connected
with th- City Bank of this city. Late yesterday
afternoon she was unaware Of her fathers strange
disappearance at 81. Louis At ; p. m. in company
wish her husband she went to Planteld, Nj,
TO pass the Sunday. Size was then apparently
in coed spirits and undoubtedly had had no rews
of a depressing nature from her father. Mr.. Maret
zell's other child also daughter, was at his home
Staten Island last night Madame Mare eek isin New
Orleans with the Strakosch Opera Company. She.
as is well known, il excellent harpist and she is
playing that instrument in the orchestra of the
opera company.
The dispatch announcing that NT. Maretzek was
missing stated that Financial embarrassments
are supposed to have caused his disap-
pearance." His friends IN this city do not
believe this to be the true reason. They state that
Mr. MaTetzek had none of his own money at stake
in the opera company enterprise; that all its ex-
penses were paid by capitalist Of this city. Dis
appointment over the lack Of success of the opera
company, they soy. could not have caused Mr.
Maretzell to abandon his associates.
The Company was known as the Max Maretzcb
English Opera Company. 1t sang "Fatinltza,'
III. VI. $. Pnafore,' the Chimes of Normandy"
"seepy Hollow" aud the bohemian Girl"
Ii was organized during tho Summer, and
early in tine Autumn went to Baltimore and
there sang "Pinafore' Returning to New-York,
the company appeared at the Academy of Mu
SIC, and sang chiefly Mr Maretzek's opera oi
"Sleepy Hollow" The attendance was not
good, and 1t is said that the perform
ances did not pay expenses. Later the
company appeared for one week at the Park Thea
tTc, in Brooklyn. Here again the receipts, II is
ported. not great as the disbursements. On
November 10 the company started on a Western
tour The chief Singers were Mrs. Florence Rice
Knox, cOntTaltO; Miss Annie Montague, soprano
Miss Rachel Samuolls, soprano; and A. :. Hatch,
tenor. The company first appeared in Chicago, and
is reported 20 have had good success there The
past week it has been in st. Louis, and apparently,
judging by the dispatch. has had poor houses.
