Max Maretzek.

Max Maretzek, the celebrated impressa-.o, was
born in MOravie June %, 1925. From his earliest
childhood he was surrounded by musical Influences
of the highest order. His youthful career in
Europe as musician was what might have been
expected from the surprising talent ne early mani
tested. The then emperor of Austria took friendly
interest IN the bright young virtUOsO, and ercOur
aged him in person TO develop the ability re had
already displayed IN composition. Among his
early friends M. 1IaretZek numbered Won Balow,
List, Wagner, OTenbach, Strauss, land many of
the greatest lights Of the operate procession.
Coming to America i'll 1S4S, he became cutie in
love with the country which received him with
open arms He decided to remain i'll the States and
has been here ever since, constantly and success
fully engaged manager and conductor o. grand
italian operate enterprises in the seaboard cities
In 1S49 Mr.. Maretzek opened at the Aston Place
theater, New York, producing for the first time in
this country many of the operas that have since
become familiar to all Americans, and it may be
said that nearly all the new creations OF the great
maestri have been first presented to public by
him. Later he took the Academy of Music, New
York which if the writer remembers correctly,
was built principally to furnish house adequate
to his proper rendition OF grand operate works.
Nearly all the native artists who have achieved any
degree OF greatness, have been brought out under
the auspices of Max Maretzek. After Theodore
Thomas left Cincinnati, his baton fell to the sub
ject of this sketch AS composer Mr.. Maretzek's
greatest and most popular work is his fine Ameri-
can opera, "Sleepy Hollow the plot OF which IS
familiar to readers of Washington Irving and to
all who have seen rip Van Winkle.'' As a maestro
impressario and gentleman, his adopted country
has reason to be proud of Max Maretzek.

BaldanZa.

Ernesto Badanza, the great tenOre, is q native Of
Bologna, and is now thirty-two years of age He is
scion of famous italian musical family. His
father was distinguished tenore, and the teacher
of his celebrated son. In addition to the train
ing received from the elder Baldanza, our prirna
tenore studied under the best of the italian macs
tri and made his debut, at taking principal
roles, and grasping at one step the highest round
OF the professional ladder, which envable position
he has held with ease and great honor ever since.
Baldanza has sung in all the principal theatres OF
Italy, Malta and Spain, in which last he was
gagged to replace Tamberlik on the retirement ,e
that veteran tenore. Family affairs recalled,
to Italy, where he offered the position ofprin
tenore in the Royal opera, but he was anxious
see America, and came out to this country und
engagement to Strakosch. Baldanza made his de-
but in New York with the great Litta in lucia and
was declared by the united voice eff New York.
Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago, the best Edcardo
that ever graced the lyric stage of the United
States. After fourteen years of triumph in Europe
and this country, Baldanza determined to take
rest and retired to his elegant villa refusing all
offers of engagement. But the managers never
allowed him a moments peace, and finally he con-
sented to make one more engagement in company
with Hauk and Litta, under the direction of mis- old
friend Max Maretze1. Baldanza is regarded both
in this country and abroad as the greatest living
tenore and st. Paul is to be congratulated upon the
opportunity to hear him, which will be offered
during the grand opera festival week.

Bereghy, the world-renowned basso, is a cadet of
noble Hungarian family. At an early age he be-
came aA officer of the Austrian army, and was sent
to join his regiment, then stationed in Italy. Here
he studied with Trapotti in Padua, and later with
Franciscina in Vizenca. These studies were Dy way
of amusement only Once when in Vienna, DR..
Schmidt, the leading basso of the Imperial opera,
advised Capt. Bereghy to go on the stage. His
arstocratc connections objected and he hesitated.
At this time the Prince Macmillan, warm per
sonal friend, started for Mexico, and the young
Chevalier Bereghy went with him as aide-de-canp
to the newly created Emperor OF Mexico Bereghy
fought with his beloved master through those dark
campaigns, ending in the betrayal and murder of
the unhappy prince, and afterward returned 70 his
native land. Bereghy then entered upon his operat-
ic career, scored number of successes at the
leading European capitals in leading roles, and
then started for America, whittier his reputation
had preceded him. He embarked in business, in
tending to become merchant, but the tempta-
tons OF the stage were yet strong, and at the call
of the great impressario, Maretzek, he again gp-
peared before the public under his present engage
ment with Litta.

country competitors, but the eyes of the
citizens are on them and if they allow the
honors to be captured on their own
ground, without a gallant struggle, they
will disgrace the city. They must prove
themselves soldiers as well as gentlemen
and social good fellows. The rules of the
contest are not stringent and it is difficult
to find an excuse for company G., D, or E
showing the white feather. The friends of
the guard will be at the armory to watch
the outcome and Maj. Myrick, Col. Law
son, Capt. Blunt, and Lieut.. Tully, of Fort
Smelling, acting as judges, all concerned

Fire Bugs Abroad.

About 11:3O o'clock last night while
patrolling his beat, Officer Casey discov-
cred what was an undoubted attempt at
incendiarism, in the cluster of frame
buildings situated on the south side of
Fifth street below Jackson, and owned by
j. 81. Pomeroy.
Observing bright light in the rear of
the building occupied as machine shop,
he made an investigation and found that
the building was on fire. About the same
time fire was discovered in the
rear of the building occupied down
stairs as a show case factory.
Mr.. G. G. Miles happened along at this
time and few buckets of water from a
neighboring house sufficed to put out the
flames. An investigation showed that a
pile of combustible material had been
placed in the rear of both buildings and
set on fire. The timely discovery of the
villainous attempt no doubt prevented 8
big fire

This great baritone has for ten years disputed
with everybody the title of First baritone of the
operate stage.n His career has been one of trl-
unphant success in all the leading roles of his part,

THE SOCIAL WORLD.

the members of the fashionable world
are to be congratulated. The season OF
self-denial, of fasting and respite from the
vanities of the world has come to close.
Easter dawns with its stupendous hope, and
Christendom rejoices in the change. The
advent of the Easter festival, with its his
toric associations and memories, has
double significance. For the religiously
inclined Easter comes with the hottest, ten
derest memories; for the vain and worldly
it signalizes the renewal Of fashionable
designations.
All alike may join in the glorious hosan-
nah, and Christian and heathen; Jew and
Gentle alike embrace the event as an oc-
casion for unwonted display. Next to
Christmas the festival of Easter Is more
widely observed and celebrated than any
event of modern times. 1t is made the
occasion of exchanging offerings and
whose eye has not been charmed, or sense
of the beautiful not been gratifed by the
many beautiful Easter offerings displayed
during the past week in the shop windows
of st. Paul.
Then Easter is notable for the general
popularity or prominence of the humble
and meritorious egg. AS an article of
both ornament and diet, the little spheri-
cal becomes elevated to the top perch of
prominence, and ii Is astonishing what an
immense deal of pleasure and delight may
be obtained from the egg. Time was
when an egg was only the product Of the
common fowl, tos be sized up and eaten,
but things have changed. The egg, once
so modest and unassuming has become
quite aesthetic and when tucked out in its
Easter clothing, it is as gay and pretty as
Diana's earrings.
Like all the world on this day, it puts
on its gayest attire and has place on the
mantle or what-not of every fashionable
parlor. Nothing shows what may result
from humble beginning so much as the
elevation of the egg. But cui bono? Do
not all OF Us this morning shine forth in
new apparel that rivals the lilies of the
field? Does not the Easter gown and bon
net excite more admiration and envy, too,
mayhap, than did ali The conquests of
Alexander or Cesar? And the music and
the flowers to-day, that viii add their
charm to the church services! Whole col
ums might be written about them in just
praise.
But life is short.We shall all go to church
this morning like good people and sing,
and admire and look to our hearts con-
tent.
As will be seen By what follows a num-
Der of interesting events are announced
for the coming week, when it is expected
that spring viii be upon us in dead earnest.
Madame Rumor has half a score of en-
gagements and weddings on her tongue.
but they mostly await the month of flowers.
There are a great many things that go to
make up a good, lively spring season, and
the indications just now are very promis-
ing. An unfailing sign is the presence on
our streets these lovely afternoons of the
baby carriage; how fond and interesting a
thing to the average bachelor is baby
carriage with the lovely cherub cooling in
side and the lovely mother doing the tan
dem act.
Another sure sign of spring is the advent
of the summer hotel clerk, and the young
man who is anxious to backset his winter

An InterestinO Event,

The competitive drill and social assem-
bly, at the armory next Wednesday evening
promises to be the event of the after Lent
season. 1t is for the benefit of the armory
building fund and under the auspices of
the Emmett Light artillery. For the in
fantry prize drill, companies from Winona,
Faribault and Minneapolis are entered and
are coming to capture the first honors in
the new st. Paul armory. Will the ST.
Paul boys let them do it? 1t is said the
st. Paul companies are weakening, and
