Not Crazy 10 Hear Patti at $40 n
Head.

New York Times November s.
1t will be seen in another column that
there has been modification in the pro-
posed arrangement of the Patti Concert
Company. The day has long since passed
when foreign artists could come to this
country and demand tribute. New York
is one of the principal musical capitals of
the world, and is not inferior in critical
taste to London, Paris, or Berlin, and the
attempt by some persons entirely ignorant
of the methods of management in the
United States to give third.ratc concerts
at prices which would be deemed
excessive for the best representation Of
opera was doomed to be a failure from the
start. While according every credit to
Nine. Patti as great artist, 1t cannot be
reasonably expected that any sane person
should care to hear Signor Nicolini and the
rest of the company of ordinary performers
who are entirely unknown at the extrava-
CANT prices demanded The whole scheme
is an insult to the musical culture of New
York. Mime. Patti is manifestly the victim
of bad management. If she will sing in
opera with proper assistance she will be
successful. In excessively ordinary con-
certs, without orchestra, and the cheapest
quality of assistance, she does not deserve
the support of the musical public.

Death of Archbishop McMnIc.

The death is announced from London Of
the Most Rev. John McHale, ID. d., Arch
bishop of Tuam. This venerable clergy
man was born in 1901, at Tubber-navine,
Mayo. After obtaining preliminary edu-
cation in Greek and Latin at q school in
Castelar, he entered as q student at May
nooth, where he afterward became lecturer
and Professor of Dogmatic Theology, hold
ing the position about eleven years. He
was then named Coadjutor-B Bishop Of Kill
lala, cum jure successiones, and cOnsecrated
with the title of Bishop OF Maronia, IN
pdrtilus. On the death of DIR. Kelly he was
promoted to the Archiepiscopal See Of
Tuam. He published a series of contro-
versial letters, while at Maynooth, on Bible
Societies, the Protestant Church in
Ireland, and Christian Emancipation.
These were under the signature of Hero
phulus," but he afterward published q Sec
ond series, under his own name, on the
same subjects. In 1897 he issued the Evil
denccs and Doctrines Of tho Catholic
Church." which was translated into French
and German. The entire series of his let
tiers were collected in one volume in 1S47.
He took an active interest in politics, and,
besides, was well known as preacher, not
only in Ireland and England. but in Rome.
Hissermons in Rome, delivered in 1882, were
translated into italian. Among his literary
works were above sixty of Moore's Irish
melodies, translated into Irish in the same
metre as the original. In 1861 he produced
"a large octave volume, comprising six books
of the HAD" with an Irish translation
in heroic metre. He also published the
Pentatcuch," with English and Irish
translations and notes and comments.

Inquiries as to the Prevalence Of Ma
IarIa In Washington.

The circular letter ordered to be sent to
all practcng physicians by the committee
of the Medical Society at its meeting Sat-
urday night, has been prepared, and is as
follows:
WASHINGTON, Nov. Z, 1881.
DEAR DooTon: In obedience TO II rcsolu-
ton adopted by the Medical Society of the
District of Columbia. n committee has been
appointed to take In consideration tho
question of the general belief In the prevail
ence OF malarial diseases in this city, and to
inquire into the grounds upon which this
opinion is based. 1t Is apparent that this
view. OF the unhealthfulncss OF our city is
gaining ground abroad, and that great In
| Jury Is thereby done to its material pros
perity. The physicians OF Washington ~ Q
alone capable of determining the truth In
this matter, and II IL their manifest duty to
arrive at some wcllfoundcd and definite
conclusion. Ifthe accepted opinion Is not
true--that diseases due TO malnrial infiucn-
ces prevail TO an alarming extent In this
present the truth to the medical profession
and the people OF the country. The com
mittee invoke your MD and Will be. glad II
you will return answers TO the following
questions on the inclosed form as early rs
possible. Yours respectfully,
HARVEY LINDSLgY. Nj. d..
Chairman.
Then follows five interrogations 4. DO
you believe that malarial diseases prevail
to the same extent as formerly in Wash
ingtonY 2. In your practice do diseases
clearly due to malarial influences present
themselves in large proportion 3. What
forms of malarial diseases do you meet with
most frequently? 4. From your experience
do you think that malarial diseases cause
many deaths, and what form Of malarial
diseases have you found to he most fatal
5. Arc fcvers, etc, due TO malarial inhuen-
ces confined more or less TO certain locali-
ties, or are they equally prevalent in all
parts of the City?u

OCEAN MAILS.
Suspension Between Sew Orleans and
HuYhha

The Withdrawal of the Morgan line
of steamers plying between New Or
leans and Havana, and the consequent
discontinuancc Of mail service between
those points, has caused considerable
discussion at Washington on the sub
ject Of better remuneration for mail
steamships and improved ocean mail
facilities. The mail between New
Orleans and Havana, via Key West,
was not LARGE bat was very important,
as the correspondence was largely Of Il
business nature. As served by the
Morgan line it was shorter for South
crn mail than by any other route.
Nearly all the Havana mail of those
sections was sent to New Orleans to be
forwarded. 1t Is suggested by the de
partment officials that the West and
Southwest would probably be willing
to pay double or triple postage to save
TIN delay caused by the necessity for
sending their mails to New York to be
forwarded, but that would not restore
the service. Superintendent Of For
eigh Mails, Blackf:,n, expressed the
opinion that Congress should provide
sufficient remuneration for mail lines
to warrant them continuing the service
While most Of the transatlantic line
make a profit of from $50, 900 to $50,
600 per annun out of the rate Of on
cent per letter paid them, many of tn
smaller lines between the United State
and other points carry 50 little mai
that the profits amount to little or moth
ing.
