MIR. EUGENE G. HEBBLEY, lately Of this city,
has taken hold with his usual zeal in his
new capacity as Director of the musical de-
partment OF Grove City (Pa.) College
charge of chorus of 125 voices, with whom
he is now rehearsing Ethelbert Nevin's

"RoSe Maiden"
IT will be a sad thing for our orchestral
players themselves and for our musical
interests generally, if the NJ. NJ. P. o. squab-
BILE lately revived, is to continue for any
length Of time. Trades union affiliations
are dangerous things for musicians" who
ought to be and consider themselv es artists
rather than tradesmen.
ONE day Colonel Ingersoll said to me: 'To
are you fond Of music2" 81 am, Colonel"
replied, 'ebut am no musician" "Weu,
that's silly answer" said he; "you might
just as well reply, If l asked you If you liked
cake, Yes, but I'm no cook. '"-BoSton In

THE engagement Of Eurico Bevignani as
conductor OF the Emma Juch Opera Com
pany assures its remaining upon as high an
artistic plane as the circumstances admit.
Bevignsni has made a good reputation for
himself az Covent Garden, London. Mr..
Locke will have a ballet with the troupe this
season. The repertoire announced includes
Romeo and Juliet, +" "CavalIeria Rusticana,"
"Aida," "Gioconda" and Halevy's 'The
Jewess."
Mr.. WILLIAM DAVID HOLMES, the we'll
known Pittsburger now residing in Paris,
sends for review two songs of his own COM
position, which have just been published in
London. No. !, 81 Kiss Thine Eyes," is
sprightly, dainty specimen of what the Ger
mans call Strophen-Lieder. A correction to
be Incorporated in the second edition should
be noted: the fourth bar of the song land
the same phrase elsewhere) should begin
with an eighth rest and end with an eighth
note instead of a quarter. The correction is
essential to the proper rhythm. The second
song, "Here at the Garden Gate" is more
broadly drawn: its fluent and singable mel
ody is borne upon an elaborate and effect
i've accompaniment. Mr.. Holmes maiden
efforts as q composer are distinctly credi-
table.
