The Levy Concert Company will 60 to-day

Thence they will go to Columbus and Gin
cinnati. Mrs. Schaarschmidt is still at the
Hotel Anderson, where she will remain to-

musical studies.
Mr.. Levy said yesterday, at the Hotel
Duquesne, that he was sorry the quarrel had
become public in Pittsburg. He blamed
Mr.. Frank Wright for the trouble between
himself and Mrs: Schaarschmidt. Mr..
Levy said: "Mrs. Schaarschmidt sang with
us three weeks. Our season began October
2, and she left US at Williamsport on Satur-
day evening, November 9. 1t is not correct
to say that she severed her connection with
the company. She was discharged. The
whole cause of her discharge was that letter
from Wright. That gentleman appeared
first at Washington on Sunday, November
8. did not know who he was, and do not
know yet. 1 never heard of him before that
time. He did not have anything to do with
making her contract, which was entered
into last summer. never spoke one word
to the man.
"The first intimation I had that Mrs.
Schaarschmidt was dissatisfied was when
Mr.. Slayton, who runs the theatrical bureau
in New York, came on to see me. She had
written to him that she was unhappy.
When Mr.. Slayton came to our hotel he
came to my room. I was ready to do any
thing reasonable to make matters pleasant,
and sent for Mrs. Schaarschmidt to come to
our room. She refused to come. We al
ways treated her we'll.
THEY WERE KIND TO HER.
1--WE took herYith us in the carriage when
we drove to the concert hall every evening,
and showed her all sorts OF attentions. Of
course, 1 know that she did not like it be-
cause I gave my wife the chief position on
the programme. 1 think almost any man
would do that. Once when we were wait
ing in the depot for train, and Mrs.
Schaarschmidt was sitting with us, Mr..
Wright came in, and led her away to a
remote corner, as if she were too good for US.
81 did not like this man Wright follow
ing Mrs. Schaarschmidt around. She told
my wife that she had not got her divorce
yet. After she left US at Williamsport she
went to New York. She came on here to
sing before the Pittsburg people for $780,"
Mrs. Schaarschmidt and Mr.. Frank
Wright were seen in the parlor of the Hotel
Anderson. They expressed much regret at
the publication of the trouble here, and
blamed Mr.. Levy for starting the matter.
They said that they did not desire any
further controversy. Mr.. Wright explained
that he lives in New York, that his business
is to import cutlery and firearms, and that
he was in Washington and Baltimore on
his own business when he met the Levy
company there. He said: 1T happens that
I have business calling me to GreenviIle,
and am on my way there. Luckily came
to Pittsburg just at this time when Madam
Linde needs friend"

Perhaps that is why Mr.. Levy was afraid
of you?''

my own use. %
Perhaps he was afraid of your sample
case?"
"Oh. perhaps; but haven't my sample
case with me. sent it on to Greenville."
''Can you tell what these insults were to
which Madam Linde was subject?"
sit would be too long story. 1 would
have to tell you about q great many little
things, but which were very annoying to a
sensitive person. 1t was a constant perse-
cution."
"What about Mr.. Levy's statement that
Madam Linde told Madam Levy that she
was not divorced?"
'Mr. Levy is mistaken, that is ALL"
"Did you notice Mr.. Horne's statement
that Madam Linde said you had acted the
fool?''
"Oh, pshaw! That's nonsense. don't
believe Mr.. Horne said anything OF the
kind"
Mrs. Schaarschmidt said that she did not
believe that Mr.. Horne had said such a
thing; that Mr.. Horne was her friend, and
that she certainly had not said anvthinp of
