bic to her just now. Not that she is poor,
for she has earned several fortunes, but she
has always been lover of the goC>i things
of life, and it is very doubtful whether she

l was told yesterday that Mime. Janau-
schek has always been great deal of u
philanthropist, though as she belongs to
that class of givers who believe that the
right hand should not know what the left
is doing, she has never received the credit
for her thousands of charitable acts. But
it is never too late to put good person on
record, and that's why have mentioned
this.
We shall not have Padercwski with us
this season, but we shall hear pianist who
has just as horrible II name, even though
his hair be not so long. His name is Slivin-
ski-Joseph Slvinski-and he is friend,
fellow student and countryman of Ignace
Paderewski.
What pair of names!
Sllvinski will make his American debut
at the Madison Square Concert hall some
time prior TO Dec /. He will be accompa-
MED by Anton Seidl's magnificent orchcs-
ira, and he will therefore have no excuse
to offer should he fail to impress our very
impressionablc musical clique. Slivinski

mouth and by letter? And ought she not
to know? 1t is true that she has already
made several farewell tours here, but none
of them was the genuine article, while the
coming one is simon pure "a carat good

Richard Mansfield is very peculiar man
in many respects, but he is unquestionably
the best actor i'll IA wide range of charac-
tiers in this country today. Still it does
look like temerity to attempt to compete
with Henry Irving in one of the latter &C
tors greatest teriZations-Shylock
in the Merchant of Venice"-and yet that
is just what Mr.. Mansfield proposes to do.
He will put that play on at Herrmann's
theater in this city Oct. 80 and the Eng
lish tragedian will produce it on an elab-

later. A great many persons affect to be-
