British Metropolis Still Crowded
With Sightseers From
America.
LONDON, July 6-Paderewski's
only concert here this season was
given last week, and while st. James
hall was full, there was good deal
| Of paper flying about, and his star
seems somewhat on the wane. Ro-
seminal, who is here also, seems to
have eclipsed him 1t is reported
that, as a result of several confer
ences, Paderewski and Sauer have
signed an offensive and defensive al
/ lance in connection with future
American tours, and have parceled
out the country. Sauer was under
contract to go to America this year,
but it is now stated that he will not
go, so as not to interfere with Pader-
ewSki. The latter in his turn is re-
ported to have agreed not to visit
America the following year. In con-
nection with Paderewski, it is stat
ed, by one who knows him intimate
ly, that the length of his hair is al
ways graduated according to the
countries he visits. In sober, class
zeal Germany his hair is quite short;
in France. a little longer; England is
treated to a still further display,
while in America the longest period
! is reached. 1t is certainly a fact
that his hair in England is much
shorter than it has ever appeared in
America.
Under the management of Henry
Abbey, Sarah Bernhardt has made a
new departure in touring the Brit
ish provinces. Since the close Of her
London engagements she has been
doing the outside towns in a special
palace car train of the Midland rail-
way. Her season ends tonight at
Manchester. The innovation in the
way of travelling by special train has
excited much comment in the Brit
ish press.

A PHENOMENAL SUCCESS.
The success of 1.-The Passport" has
been, so great at Terry's that mon
ey has night after night been re-
fused in all parts of the house. The
management has therefore been I'M
der the necessity Of securing a larger
house. The SALISBURY theater,
which has for so lohg been without a

during the coming week.

production OF ''Trilby."
INDEPENDENCE DAY.
If proof were needed of the pres

States who attended the Indepen-

This is as it should be. The day
brings no bitterness of memory to
