country, "and 50 hot What weather you do

want to say how much like America and how
much I want to come back again. But not in
concert. No, no. It is too hard work, and the
season is 50 long and so hot.r
Frau Materna's husband then said: 'AEe have
had wonderful season. My wife sang hftysfixe
times, and sang as well at the lastcenc as at
the first. She ism perfect health and pleased

Mr.. Locke, the business manager of the com

both financially and arfistieally. Our gross ex-
penses have been in the neighborhood Of S225,

We gave seEentyfanr concerts and
did not have a single alteration of the
programme TO make. Materna sang
fifty-ive times and Nilsson sixteen Our largest
receipts and our greatest artistic triu1nphs were
in Boston, Chicago Cincinnati Pittsburg Indi-
annapolis and Buffalo. OF course We did well in
such places as Detroit and Minneapolis. Mater
ma Searia, Winkelman, Theodore Thomas and
Emma Ouch sail in the ElbR for Europe on
Wednesday AT present Mr.. Thomas has made
no definine plans for next season. / think the
prospect for German opera here next season is
favorable, but of course it is such gigantieeen
terprise that many things have to be taken into
consideration. Mr. Thomas returns in October,
and about November hope to have some def

MaeLeod.s Farewell.

John Macleod, who has many warm friends on
the L., N. A. & G. system, in retiring from the
SUPPLEMENTARY of the road has issued the fol-
lowing farewell to the officers and employees Of
the road: ''In retiring from the management of
the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago railway,
take this means to express my appreciation of
the devotion and zeal with which you have
guarded and advanced the interests of the com
pany during the time we have been associated
together and to thank you for the valuable as
sstance rendered me during this period Hoping
you viii give to the new management the same
hearty support you have given to the old, and
main, very truly yours. In this connection 1t
is proper to state that Mr.. Macleod confirms
the statement made in the Journal in February
last to the effect that he had rendered his resig
nation He did so, and has remained until this
time at the special request Of President Roosevelt
ME-. Mccullough Pleased With the Outlook.
j. N. Mccullough, vice president Of the, Penn
sylEania line, west Of Pittsburg, has been MAX
" pleased with the prospects. Mr. Mccullough
remarked yesterday that he was feeling more
cheerful over the outlook for railway inter
ests than at any time for two years past.
What pleased him most was, however, that so
large per cent of the roads were paying their
July interest, as that would tend to make Rnan-
cial matters more stable, and would create re-
neved confidence incomnereial circles generally.
Another thing which pleased him much was that
business was improving on all divisions of their
system and he found that majority of the rail
road men spoke of business as increasing with
them. 1.-THE important point with the railroads
now is 2 he added sis to maintain rates and
large tonnage The whole tenor of Mr.. McGul-
loughs talk was Of a very hopeful character.
