That is What Caused the Spit Between
the Well-known Gilbert 4 Sullivan.
The row that finally rupturel the firm
of Gilbert & Sullivan is said to have been
all on account of q carpet. Their busi-
ness has always been done on IL sharing
system. expenses of oil kinds being charged
against the receipts. and the profits divided
between Gilbert, Sullivan aud D'Oyly
Carte, their manager. While Gilbert was
in India, just after the production of The
Gondoliers,' Carte purchased some
new carpet for the theater, and
when Gilbert returned he objected
to the expense. Carte maintained that til ,
purchase was j%ustitiable aud the two ap.
pealed to Sullivan, who sided with Carte,
and the result has been q dissolution Of
partnership. Gilbert is now looking for a
composer to collaborate with, aud it is
said that Alfred Collier will be the new
partner, or at least that he will c%ollab0rate
with Gilbert in a new opera with which
Horace Sedger will his occu-
pancy of the Lyric theater. Sullivan DOES
not want q partner, as be declares that Ii.
will confine himself hereafter to grand
opera. This combination Of circumstances
will necessitate q change of policy at the
Savoy theater after the run of The Con.
doliers' is over. D'Oyly Carte's new
theater is expected to be ready in the fall
for the production of Sullivan's grand
OpeyA "Iyanhoe."

iselglans Afraid of Germany.

The visit Of the king of the Belgians to
London proves to have been not solely for
the purpose of attending the unseiing of
the prince consort's statue at Windsor, al.
though that was it's only osteusible object.
II is developed by close inquiry in circl, s

Leopold is anxious in regard to the coa-
tinued independence and autonomy Of
Belgium. He believes that war be-
tween Germany and France is imminent,
and he fears that in the general alteration
of the map of Europe that will fcl.
low, Belgium will be absorbed by her big
nelghbor on the east unless she can find
strong friends to support her claim to con-
tinucd Independence. There is no doubt
that England would go to amy length re.
quired in order to prevent such M increase
of German territory and power rs would
be involved in the acquisition Of either
Belgium Or Holland, toward both which
countries the German statesmen are sus.
pected OF constantly casting greedy eyes.
The result Of the kings trip to England,
it is believed, will prove to have had a
highly beneficial effect upon tie future
position of his country.

"a welding Present by Cincinnati Ladies'
Resented by the Musiciam.
Since Theodore Thomas recent mar
riage there has been q decided GOODNESS
between the great musician and the SO.
clety leaders OF Cincinnati. Some Of the
most prominent and wealthy of these
ladies are patrons of the college of music
and the annual festivals under it's auspices.
AS the festival is just now in progress,
these strained relations are all the more
apparent and unpleasant. When Thomas
married Miss Fay, in Chicago, last
week the society ladies thought they would
be doing a neat act in sending the couple
a handsome wedding present. A commits
tee was selected and a pretty sum sut-
scribed. 1t was finally decided that the
gift should take the shape of a very artis.
tic piece of bronze. Tue figure was nearly
life size and represented an old darby
dreamily listening to the strains of u
plantation melody. as he played
it on q banjo. The present was
forwarded to Chicago to take it's
place among the other wedding gifts aud
the committee were warmly congratulated
on the happy way they had performed their
duties. 1t bore a tag with the names of
the fair donors. Tue ladies anxiously
awaited some acknowledgement of the
gift. but none came. Mr.. Thomas
and his bride arrived, however,
and the ladies. although slightly
mifed at his oversight, extended
the usual social courtesies. 10 their
surprise these o%vertures met with a very
noticeable manifestation Of displeasure on
the part of Thomas. 1t was apparent that
he was angry about something, mud the
matter became the gossip of society. To-
day it WIS learned that he regarded the
present as u direct insult and intended tn
recall ths days when he was u "nie.ei"
minstrel performer. He refuses to accept
explanations. Society is horrited aud tile

forth i'll the call, is to consider what action
IL best to be taken to further the cause
of irrigation and to secure ~ special
sessions of the Legislature to provide such
amendments to the constitution as will en-
able the state to accomplish IL general sys-
tenn of irrigation by means of artesian
wells. The convention Is called thus
early in order to give time for the prepara-
ton of such amendments so they may be
voted upon at the election in
November. There is no question as to the
benefits to be derived from n thorough
system of irrigation. but in view of the
fact that the state is IN no condition, finan-
cially. to bear the expense that is certain
to occur from q special session of the
Legislature, and the further fact that the
matter of irrigation is already
being carefully and Systematically
worked by private individuals
and companies, it would seem that the
experiments now being made should be
fully tested and the state relieved from
any expense in that direction for the pres
ent. Give encouragement to the irriga-
ton enterprises 10Y under way: await the
report of the United States commission
now investigating the subject of irrigation
throughout the a%rtesian basin; form COM
