among friends, and although their success,
both in New York and San Francisco, has
been equally as great in ''Sweet Lavender"
and 'The Marquise," they prefer to be
welcomed back in 1.-The Wife, which will
be given exactly as before, with the ex-
C ption of an entirely new wardrobe of the
LADIES of the company; therefore there will
be no danger of the enjoyment of the piece
being weakened by that most dangerous Of

The company will arrive here Tuesday
morning direct from San Francisco, resting
until the engagement commences Thursday.
It will be surprising and perhaps not
very welcome news to many of our musical
reade IS that the little hall above Coalter
& Snelgrove's music store, so long known
as stephens music hall, is Stephens no
more, and that in all probability the excel
lent musical organizations which have had
their birth there and made the city for
blocks around resound to the strains of
Mendellssohn, Mozart, Verdi, Bale, Done
zetti, Flotow and other masters, under
Stephens direction, will no more be heard
there. He has given it up, and that means
giving up his classes also, as it is not his
intention to hold forth elsewhere, for the
coming season at least In explanation of
this move he writes: SIN anticipation of
giving up my class work this season,
carefully finished up my obligations to all
my classes. The juvenile classes, owing to
my i'll health, did not have complete term
for their last, but as they were
only charged for half term,
and only lacked couple OF
lessons Of a full term, feel that 1 have
fulfilled my duty by them. The 'Ernani'
opera class had all the schools due them.
| Elijah the same This left only the gen
eral duty devolving upon teacher to do a
in his power for his art and his pupils to lie
considered. This have tried to do, aud l
feel that it is best to discontinue my classes
for the present, leaving an open field for
others who seem to think my classes have
been disastrous to their prosperity in the
past Successful as l have been in my
labors l also am far from satisfied with the
scope of my work Too much work to &C
complish so little To advance as we
should, my students must take up more
massive works. As this necessitates mas
sive numbers, q large hall, etc, we must
wait until opportunity favors these condi-
tions. In the meantime a most important
work calls for my attention-music in the
district schools. This consider the foun
dation of progress in the future, and l am
eager to do it well, especially as l see an
interest taken in that direction that says
now is the time My university labors
are closely connected with this and of
course claim my first attention, as the
| fountain head of musicalinstruction in the
schools and that means to the masses.
There is proper channel for all things,
and when our musical instructors are
| turaed into theirs they will be far more
effective than they have been heretofore.
regret sincerely only one thing, that l
shall not have the pleasure of assoclating
unsteady and socially-so much in the
future with my many and much loved
! students as l have in the pAst.n
