Miss Mile Pottcieser.

The portrait presented today to the
G o e readers is that of a young
lady distinctively a st. Paul girl. Miss
Mile Pottgieser, the niece of the late
lamented artist, Charles Pottgieser,-
was born and reared in the same old
homestead now occupied by the fam
lily on Wabasha street. She is only
seventeen years of age, but shows a
remarkable talent for all branches of
music and is quietly pursuing her
studies for the purpose of entering into
the professional field when fully COM
petent to do so. Miss Pottgieser re-
ceived her primary instructions from
her uncle, who stood without a peer as
a pianist. She soon developed fine
qualities and is at present mastering
the difficult compositions with the
same vigor and clear perception which
always marked the playing Of her
tutor. AT present she is also carrying
on careful studies in voice culture and
violin. Her family have great hopes
for the young lady's future, and her
mother has concluded to take her to
Europe for an extended course of stud
les as soon as her present preliminary

OF Chicago, the well-knoWn vocalist,
in letter just received, says: 1.-THE
Lullaby is muSicianly and available,
showing much tenderness in the mel
ody and pleasant coloring in the har-
mony. [ doubt not that the piece will
strike singers in general as it does me,
viz, as piece Of genuine art"

Aleman will manage the tour of local
artists which is to take place in the

After a. long absence Nine. Sem
brich will return to this country
next season with the Abbey-Grau
Opera company. AS Nine. Melba
cannot be here during the earlier
part of the season, the presence of
the distinguished Sembrich will in
a measure make amends for the
absence of the other great artistic
Nine. Sembrich has been singing re-
Gently at London with the aggrega-
ton Of great and renowned artists
who have made the season there so
brilliant. She made her first appear
ance at the Royal theater at Athens
at the age of eighteen in the title
role in Lucia" Since then she has
sung in the principal opera houses
of both the old and the new worlds.
Her early musical training was OBJ
tanned from her father, who was a
wandering musician of the Bohemian
type. Subsequently she entered the
conservatory at Lemberg, her birth
place, and finally she finished her
musical studies under Signor Lam
peril at Milan. Nine. Sembrich is
not onlya great singer, but a finished
pianiste and violin player. Her re-
turn to this country will be pleasant
news to music lovers.
And while speaking of the Abbey
and Grau opera combination it may
be well to state that these impress
sarios have secured another very
valuable member in the person of
