MUSIC IN THE ASCENDANT.

Io-m0rroW night Emma ADDott Will ap-
pear at the Baldwin Theater in "Ernan"
(VerdD, with the largest company she has
ever brought to San Francisco. The per-
torrance opens two weeks engagement.
GENERAL STRENGTH.
There is one thing concerning the Abbott
opera this season that the management es-
pecially emphasize, and that is the massive
strength of the company throughout num-
bers and skill. 1t is the exception in the
case Of the Abbott company that, while the
casts are remarkably strong and competent,
.he choral service is an equally strong fea-
ture, supported by the large Abbott orches-
ira, lusiy, robust and strong-yoiced body
Of perfectly trained v0caists. Too often
opera is sacrificed in subordinate parts to
the character stars. This is not the case in
Abbott opera The casts are all that can
be desired, have proved so thus far. having
won universal favor in Chicago, St. Louis,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and so on,
wherever the Abbott company has APP
peared. 1t not infrequently occurs
that 4 spontaneous encore is given the
chorus. AT Cincinnati, so the Commercial
Gazette says, the curtain was forced up
seven times on the finale of the third act III
'Ernani," and the great Crowned with the
4NhtNoN vas 4OSbbe VI lulCC
times. Even then the principals were forced
the positive strength Of the company as a
whole, as well as in part and individually.
"ERNANI,"
Which opens the season, is perhaps as sure
and severe test of the real strength in the
aggregate of this organization as any opera
in the repertoire. not excepting Anne
Boleyn" or Norma" In the cast Emma
Abbott, Mirella, AIichelena, Pruette,
Broderick, Ready and Karl will be heard in
the principal roles, supported by the entire
company, a superb chorus and orchestra
under Herr Albert Krausse. 1t is
recorded by Eastern critics that in
no other tragic part does Emma Abbott so
fully measure her fun strength as in that of
Elvira, though yocally there are not the ex-
actions, except in the aria "Ernani In
volami," in ''Ernanf' that exist in some
other OF her roles; but dramatically it is
tragic and intense. Mr.. Pruette as Don
Carlos. the King of Spain, has an iIlimitable
scope, as has also Mr.. Broderick as De
silva and Michelena as Ernani. All the
parts are well cast and good production
Gently staged" the Detroit Free Press said
of it, 'sthe abbott toilets being indescriba-
bly, beautiful" Miss Abbott's "ErnanT''
dresses are costly and among them are many
beautiful Worth and Felix creations.
NEXT WEEK
There is a most pleasing diversity in
he repertoire offered, from En-
nani' TO the simpler but exquisite "Mar-
tina, Bohemian Grip and Chimes"
Another new opera also is put on during
the week, Masked BalP' friday, in which
Miss Abbott bears the part of Oscar, page
with Worth costumes. Rose of Castillo
also is comparative new. having been
heard here only whe the Abbott company
last appeared here two years ago. Other
oneras of the week are 81 Troyatore" and

THE WONDERFUL LAMP
For the holiday season this spectacular
opera has been selected as a suitable attrac
ton. 1t is sacred to the memory of our
childhood's readings of that fascinating
street-arab Aladdin, transferred by the
magic of his uncle from making mud-pies to
gathering untold treasures in the enchanted

Loftus Sticks to u,s p,ap,

'"There Is one piece of baseball legis- lation that would like to see rushed through at the next meeting," said Manager Tom Loftus the other day. ''The sooner they give managers the right to go on the field and actively coach the men in their charge the bet ter the game will be of. It is big handicap to be compelled to sit on the bench and have plays made contrary to what you would order were you in a place where you could make your wants known. A manager is always blamed for his teams misplays. Why not give him a chance to run his team. Then, if any thing goes wrong, he can be held responsible. I hope the day will soon come when manager can go on the coaching lines and there issue hiabrders. There will then be no chance for mis- takes. The game is bound to come to 1t some day.

HOW ZULU WOMEN SEW.
Their Needles Are Widely Different from
 ThOse Used In Civilized Countries

Their Needles Are Widely Different from
 Those Used In Civilized Countries.
 The skill of the Zulu of South Africa in sewing fur is household word in South Africa, and none of the other tribes can compete with them. The needle employed is widely different from that used by the American needle woman. In the first place. it has no eye: in tho second, 1t Is like a skewer, pointed at one end and thick at the other. The Zulu woman is never without them, and carries them in an elaborate ly-decorated sheath of raw hide The thread is not of cotton, but is made of the sinews of various animals, the best being made from the sinews in the neck of a giraffe. It Is stiff, inelastic, with great tendency to ''llink" and tangle itself up with any thing near 1t. Be- fore being used 1t is steeped in hot water until 1t Is quite soft, and is then beaten between two smooth stones, which causes it to separate into fila ments, which can thus be obtained of any strength and thickness. Thus, the seamstress has a considerable amount of labor before she commences with the real work in hand. This done, she squats on the ground (for no native stands to work or do any thing else, who can possibly help itl and, taking her needle, borCS two hOloS in the edges of the rug or garment on which she is working. The thread is thon pushed through with the butt of the needle, drawn tight, and two more holes are made with a like result, the Skewer progressing very slowly compared with an American needlewoman, but fast enough for country where time is of no value whatever. The skin upon which the seamstress is working is damped with water before she com mences; and as the damp thread and hide dry out it brings the work very closely together. This Is carefully at tended to, and the work is not allowed to get dry until finished, when the seamstress lays 1t flat upon the ground, pulling 1t this way and that, and mix ing and arranging the hair for several hours, until, the skin being generally dry, 1t Is impossible to find the joint or hem with the naked eye when looking at the fur side of the garment. The stitches are very small, and, when dry, lie very fiat, and a number of curious designs are worked out in various skins, which, when finished, look slike the perfect skin of a single animal, which must have been the Joseph of the ami nal tribe, to judge from the colors in it's coat should imagine-that an hours work of a modern sewing-machine would be about equal in bulk to the work of two hundred Zulu women for the same time; but their work would be done with degree of efficacy no ma chine can ever approach.-Ladies Home Journal

AN ALLEGED DEAL

Between the Players League and Amer
 lean Ass"ciatiOn-A Series of Worlds
 Championship and Exhibition Games
 Sad to Have Been Arranged.
 The Pittsburgh Times claims that it is in position to state that not only will the American Association and Players League clubs contend for the worlds championship, but that all of the clubs in the former organization will play exhibition games with the Players League clubs at the termina- ton of the present championship sea- son. This assertion Is somewhat start ling, but nevertheless true, as Jack Rowe, eX-short-stop for the Pittsburgh National League Club and now a player and part proprietor of the Buffalo club, is authority for the same.
 The consent of the Association to en- ter into the scheme was hard thing to obtain, but after considerable trouble was secured. Strange to say Won der Ahe was the most susceptible man to attach his consent to the scheme. He firmly believes that his team will win tho Association pennant, and also that Comiskey's Chicago team will wind up the first winner of the Players League flag. Appreciating this fact, he sees in prospect a rich harvest of shekels in the contests which will occur between the team represented by his former man. ager and the architect of his baseball reputation c and prowess and his own toam, especially in the games which will come of in St. Louis. Von der Ahe aside, and his team put beyond the pale of consideration, the worlds pennant will be contested for by rep resentatives of these two organizations. The combine implies a leaving out in the cold of the National League, and a subsequent amalgamation of the two friendly baseball organizations for mutual protection.

4 Change.

There isn't as much head-f1rst sliding into second base as there used to be. The reason is well known to members of the profession. A head-first slide is meat for good second baseman. He asks nothing better. They are easy to block off. second baseman will stand right in the path on head-first slide in such way that he will prevent him reaching the base. He has nothing to fear, for If the runner comes in contact with him 1t will not be his legs that will suffer, but the runners neck or head. With feet-frst sliders it is different. The plates hurt like sixty, and no second baseman is looking for the worst of 1t. There is no attempt at a block when a runner comes down to the base with the iron plates of his shoes pointed for the bag,

OUTDOOR SPORTS.
THE CHICAGO ROW.
Why Van Haltren Threw That Bat and
 Ward Was Ordered Out or the Game.

Why Van Haltren Threw That Bat and Ward Was Ordered Out of the Game. Some League papers have attempted to make capital out of tho row at the Chicago-Brooklyn game, but no particu- lar damage has resulted. Considerable astonishment has been expressed, how ever, at Van Haltren's bat-throwing act, because Van Haltren is we'll known as one of the most gentlemanly ball play CTS on the field, and the story as related by the Chicago correspondents told only one side of the trouble
 It appears that in tho sixth inning King apparently tried to hit Orr with the ball, and Van Haltren, on the coaching line, called out: ''Never mind that, Dave. it won't hurt you" King turned to Van Haltren and in the hear ing of all, including the umpires, said: '1'1l knock your head off when you come to bat again." Thinking to pass 1t of jokingly, Van replied, with a smile: "Oh, no, Silver. you can't hurt me, you haven't speed enough"
 When Van came to bat King delib- erately threw the ball at him. Van, by falling, managed to dodge. The next, a territically fast ball, caught poor Van in the ribs. It was too much for even his gentlemanly disposition, and, almost crazed with pain, he threw his bat at the pitcher. Most of the crowd thought Kings action was an accident and blamed Van Haltren, but they had not heard the previous conversation. This story throws new light on the trouble, and while Van Haltren was not justified in throwing the bat, the onus of the af- fair must rest with King. No censure is too severe for a pitcher who inten- tionally hits batsman with the ball.
 Captain Wards difficulty with Um- pire Snyder was largely due to the lat ters inability to see through Charley Comiskey's little tricks, but Snyder was right when he ordered Ward to the bench, as Ward, in the heat of the mo- ment, made some unpleasant remarks about Snyder, which is nothing worse than Anson, for instance, has done many times to both umpires and his own players. It simply shows how much ab- sorbod and excited any man may be- come whose heart is in the sport and also is dead anxious to win.-Sporting Life,
