One hears with qualification that a

of the late great fnancier, has the dispo-
sition which will make wealth in her
hands a blessing to others besides herself.
A personal friend says of Miss Gould:

THE MOZART TROUBLE.
Mr.. Cahill, the Lessee of the Academy. ES-
plains His Position.

Tie application for a receiver for the
Mozart Association, an account of which
appeared in The Times of yesterday,
created considerable comment yesterday,
and In all circles the matter was dis
CCssed.
Captain John A. Coke, counsel for the
trustees of the bohdholders. told me veg
terday afternoon that there was nothing
new in the case and that there would be
nothing until next Thursday when the
case would come up before Judge Lamb
in the ckancery court. Then argument
would take place for the appointment OF
a receiver.
In speaking of this matter last evening
Mr.. Ed Hamilton Cahill, lessee Of the
Mozart Academy, said / rather think
II the public understand my position and
my rights they would see that the pend
ing proceedings in the chancery court will
not Offset my tenancy.
IL has been stated that IF a receiver Is
appointed to take charge, and use the
funds accruing for the liquidation of debts
it will be the receivers prerogative to place
whom he pleases as his agent to conduct
the affairs Of the playhouse"
am advised by counsel that he pre-
roeativc of the receiver, should one be p
pointed will be TO conduct under the or
ders Of the court Of chancery the affairs
OF the Mozart Association for the interest
OF all concerned. and | do not believe
that a receiver or the court will Gust
tenant who SQUIRT of competent jurisdic-
tion has said Is not in default. but is le-
gaily in possession under his lease. | refer
to the recent action brought by the board
of governors of the Mozart Association
against me In the hastings court in this
city, and the verdict of the jury and judg-
ment OF the court In my favor.
1t is said that the appointment OF a re-
ceiver will terminate my lease. L am ad-
vised by counsel that instead Of termin-
ating my lease. the appointment OF a re-
ceiyer will fortify my rights. which | am
prepared to maintain regardless of inii-
yidual prejudices.
This is a very serious matter to me. and
/ would not ask you to state my views so
fully but for the fact that certain state
ments have been made and have appeared
calculated to do me great injustice.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Feb. A.
The intermediate examinations IN the
Academic class closed last Saturday, and
the regular Rotations. etc, were re-
sumed on Monday. The plan first prac-
ticed this year OF suspending lectures for
two weeks. into which all the academic
examinations are compressed. has proved
eminently successful The establishment
OF a new Chair Of English Literature Is
a great blessing to the University. since
the present course is dry and uninterest-
ing.
The recent death Of A. Lacy Ewing was
one of the saddest that ever occurred
here. He was from New York, and was
a graduate OF St. Johns College. Md,
and first visited the University as n
player on the college football team, and
in the summer Of 92 took the summer
course In medicine, entering the regular
Medical School last fall. He was in
every respect a thorough gentleman, and
en1eared himself to all his friends and
associates. The funeral procession ac-
companying the body to the railway sta
ton was one Of the longest ever seen
here. The hearse was preceded by the
honorary pal-bearers from the Medical
class: following were the members OF the
Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity Of which the
deceased was one: then the faculty and
students. numbering probably 400 The
cause OF death was a stomach trouble
which rendered necessary an operation
which was performed by DR.. Mcclure. Of
Richmond, and which led to the compli-
cation of diseases that Immediately
caused death.

funds for the Worlds Fair was success
full beyond expectation. The Opera-House

ment, Of Listen to My Tale OF Woe"
The singing of Miss Otey and the perform
ance of the Mozart Club received unani-
nous praise.
The concerts given by the Glee Club
have evidenced how abundant the musical
talent is this year and how well II has
been utilized. The Glee Club has beauti-
full songs and sings them remarkably
well, showing the effect Of faithful work.
