 Whatever may be said of Adelina Patti, she is still the greatest living singer before the public. With the voice of a bird, she etill charms the thousands who are listen ing to her enchanting strains. There was some fear that this, her fare we'll tour, would suffer financially on account of the stringent money market; nevertheless, wherever she Is announced to appear the theaters and music halls are not adequ uate to hold the crowds that clamor for sdmis- sion, as it Is known that this is her last tour in America. In Philadelphia an au dience of over 5,e00 paid to hear her at the Academy of Music. The following Is an extract of what the Philadelphia Times had to say of the Diva's reception: "rhe universal and unfailinE power of the finest art was freshly demonstrated last night in the immense audience that crowd ed the Academy of Music to hear Madame Patti; that hung upon her every note and that stood cheering and waving handker- chiefs when the concsrt was over and that would not go until she had come out and sang again for them. It was the same fas- cinating personality, the same peerless singer they had heard SO often. If there was any change apparent 1t was that she was in fuller voice than when here last"
 The sale of seats opens at box office of Hyperion theater on Monday. Prices $1 50, g, s, A.
