through the South, and was healing through
Texas for Mexico. The understanding was
| that Litta could remain with the company
only until her concert season should begin
here; but as the opera managers found he1
name such anattraction they projected pro-
fessional kidnapping enterprise to carry
Mile. Litta out Of the States into Mexico, and
| to that end they Systematically suppressed
her mail and all kilograms sent her. so that
| for a week her family and friends, as
| well rs her managers, were unable to COM
munieate with her. It was not until the
assistance Of the Superintendent of the Tele-
| graph Company was secured that the facts
| were made known and the opera managers
| defeated in their scheme, just in time to pre-
| vent the complications which threatened
! to compel Mr. Carpenter to postpone the
| opening Of his concert season.
The Litta concert company. which will
give concerts through tho West during the
winter, consists of five artists, and includes,
Miss Hattie McLain, pupil of Prof. I'm
derner, who was Litta's early teacher, and a
singer Of promise; Mr.. II. l.. Cleveland,
| tenor; Mr.. 3. Grove, bass; and Mr.. John
Shelton, cornetist In the concerts next
Thursday and Saturday Mr.. Carpenter has
greatly strengthened the organization by the
| addition Of the eLiesegaug-Helme String
Quartet; Louis Falk, organist; Heinendahl,
solo violinist; and Moses Adolphe Fischer,
the celebrated violincellist, who created such
sensation here last winter with the Thursby
company. The following is the program for

the first time, the ''Sprlng' and SUMMER"

of Uaytfn's .'SeaSons," and will also repeat
the great success Of the Clubs seventh sea-
son, Handel's "Acis and Galctia.'' The
management have been very fortunate in the
selection Of their soIoists for these compost
tions, Hande1's colossal bass song "Euddicr
than a Cherry" which occurs in 50 'Acis and
Galetia," being one of Whitney's greatest
concert numbers, and the peculiar quality OF
Fanny Kellogs's voice being especially
adapted for the Interpretation Of the soprano

heard compositions The determination TO
do everything that they undertake as per-

Whitney. This generous policy has met its
