With this concert the Star Course

satisfied or not. We venture to say,
however, without fear of contradiction,
that everyone is greatly pleased.

The Chicago Opera Festival.

At the Chicago Opera Festival, com.
mencing April 6, Col. Mapleson's company
will join forces with a home chorus, and
opera. The Exposition Building is being
altered into q vast opera-hall to accommo.
date some 5000 persons. and the Festival
Association promises splendid perform
ances at popular prices $1.O0, $500 and
$3.50. This company has the advantage
of having among its solo singers the great.
lima Patti. 1t is announced that she will
sing six times-most likly in "Semira-
mide," "~Traviata,' "Martha," "Lohen-
grin" and " Aida" Nine. Patti promised
Wagner that she would appear in some of
his operas before the close of her career as
q public singer; and it is understood that
she makes her first appearance in "Loh-
engrin" at this festival. Miss Nevada will
make her debut in opera in Chicago during
these performances. The criticisms that
have been made upon this singers efforts
in other cities all agree in stating chat she
voice, which has been cultivated to a great
degree. Mme. Fursch-M adi, the dramatic
prlma-donna, is one of the most reliable
artlsts OF the company, and much may be
expected from her during the festival.
NINE. Scalchi is so great a %favorite in the
sion of pleasure to all lovers of the Italian
school of singing. Signori Gianninni and
De Ami, the new tenor and baritone, have
been universally commended for their
splendid singing wherever they have sung
during the season.; and their appearances
at this festival will be one of it's strongest
features. The repertoire includes "Loh-
engrin," Wagner; "Huguenots" and
"L'Africaine," Meyerbeer; Faust" and
"Mirella," Gounod; der Freischutz,"
Weber; Martha" Flotow; "Aida,n eli
Trovatore" and "Traviata," Verdi;
"Semiramide," Rossini; and 81 Puri-
tani," Bellini. The Chicago chorus OF 800
voices, under Mr.. Pratt's direction, are
learning the leading choruses of these
operas. and will appear with Col. Maple
sons singers. In a reception performance
which was given by the chorus a few even
ings since, the ensemble number from the
second act of "Aida" was sung with great
effect, and the effort indicated that the
home singers will be an attraction in the
various representations during the festival.
Special attention is called to the fact that
complete arrangements for heating the
auditorium. by steam have been made, also
that elegant opera chairs will be furnished
by the American Store Stool Co.. for the
parquet and dress circle.
Season tickets (good for IA perform
ances), $500, $24,0O, $4,000.

An incident occurred a few miles
from Norristown the other day, within
Montgomery County, which fairly ri
vailed in righteousness the imaginary
experiences of Max Adeler's Consho-
hocken married couple who celebrated
their IRON wedding, and whose friends
presented them with two hundred and
fifty pairs of flat-irons, which had been
bought at the liquidating sale of a foun-
dry's stock.
The materfamilias, VINO may be des-
ignated as Mrs. Smith, is a garrulous,
good-natured lady, who retails her tri-
ais to all sympathizing visitors. Her
principal grievance lately has been the
rapaciousness of a colony of rats that
took possession of the house. Figura-
lively speaking, the family have had
rats for breakfast, rats for dinner, rat
for supper and ats for a night-cap
bedtime.
All her triends-and she has many
had heard about her rat troubles wheL
she gave a dinner-party. About twenty
people were invited. The first arrival
got out of a carriage and also took out
a bag.
"My dear Mrs. Smith, how do you
do? You are much troubled with rats,
and so anxious for a good cat, that I
thought would bring you a couple of
cats. Here they are," and the bag be-
ing opened a Tom and a Tabby leaped
forth and ran around the yard.
The second guest brought a cat. The
third brought a couple of cats. The
fourth brought a very young kitten.
The fifth brought a new family of kit
tens. The sixth brought a bag full of
back-alley cats from Philadelphia.
whose appetites, accustomed to fat
sewer-rats, might be expected to result
in the humiliation of scrawny little
country rats in almost no time. The
seventh guest brought two quiet old fire.
side cats. The eighth brought a beau
tiful Maltese. In short, every one Of
the twenty guests brought at least one
cat and generally several. +
The host and hostess began to look
dubious when the tenth guest arrived.
On the fifteenth arrival they began to
wonder which would eat most, the
guests or the cats. On the nineteenth
they meditatcd killing some of the cats
to feed the other cats. On the twentieth
arrival they felt like putting some rat
poison into the food of the guests.
Persons in want of cats can inquire of
anybody in that part Of the country

Much of this kind of work can be
done during the fall or winter, and in
this way considerable time can be saved
when spring work is to be done.
While it of course is more desirable
to have corn, cane or potato land somc-
