GRAND OPERA IN new YORK
Music Is One Hundred Years
Old in America.
A METROPOLITAN AUDIENCE
They Show Historic Groups of
Faces From the Senate
and House.

So small thing as the turning out Of
the gas by the gas man, who was sleepy
and wanted to go home, put a stop to
the Fluctuations of the season after the
last performance of the grand opera
last spring.
Tie touching off of the gases this
autumn is the signal for its commence
ment. The Metropolitan Opera House
is once more ablaze with light. Light
not alone from the gas mans efforts, but
bright rays from the sparkling eyes OF
the beautiful women present and the
flashings of the Jewels they wear.
THE HOME OF oEPRA.
No city in the world has the facilities
for grand opera which New York boasts
Not Paris, nor Berlin, nor any of those
who have been for thousands OF years
in the very home of grand opera. New
York builus hotels iOr opera -goers, she
provides elegant carriages to convey
them back and forth, she has built the
finest grand opera house in the world
and her citizens spend a fortune anna
ally TO bring the sweetest singers of the
world here. This year the subscriptions
FOR the boxes amounted to sou, 600 more
than last year. What q fortune truly
must be the whole sum which New York
provides annually!

In the old days a musician who played
a false note might expect to be set upon

orchestra. In the first moment of wild

Yet, with all the apathy OF the New World,

York is today the greatest home of grand

HENRY CLAY WAS RATIFIED.
But Rememberedn q Quotation That Did
as Well as the Missing.

In the early twenties of this century
Mr.. Clay was appointed by the legislature
of Kentucky a commissioner to Virginia TO
ask of that state that commission be
appointed to make definite line or de-
marcation between tue two States. Upon
his arrival in Richmond he was received
with great courtesy byfts smostdiStlnguished
citizens. He said that his profession, pol
tiles. and affairs of government had oc-
cupied his time so exclusively that he was
aware of kno wing little of polite litera-
ture, or the favorite publications OF the
day. This prompted him to ask an old
friend whom he knew to be literary
man to select some lines to introduce
when addressing the Legislature, as
quotation expressive or his feelings 10
the State of Virginia, as his birthplace.
His friend suggested n stanza from Scott's
Lay of the Last Minstrel, which he highly
approved, and memorized.
The day appointed for his address found
the galleries, halls, and every available
space crowded with eager, expectant aud
itors, and many beautiful women in bright
attire gave brilliancy TO the scene. He
held the attention of his audience with
entire success until he came TO the part
where he meant to Introduce the quota
tion. Then his memdfy failed him. The
shock was appalling for q moment. He
stood rigid and pale before thousand
watchful eyes, in his mind only blank,
before him a turbulent sea of upturned
faces. With characteristic gesture he
threw up his hands to his forehead, and
in his most sonorous tones recited the fol-
lowing words:
"Breathes there man, with soul so dead,
Who never 10 himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land,''
concluding his speech amid deafening
applause.
Every one present had supposed that he
was overcome by emotion, and none but
the friend who had selected the quota
ton for him perceived the cause of his
momentary panic.-Louisville Courier

She Eats Her Own Hash.

One of our best short story writers once
gave a few domestic hints in a housekeeping
Journal which graphically Illustrated the
danger in unbrided economy. Her remarks
happened to be upon the theme OF using up
remnants. She seriously advised the gen.
eral house wife to do as she did-make
periodical incursions upon the refrigerator
and whatever was found there, whether.
fish, fowl ur vegetable, to mix together in
some cummodious vessel and from this un.
appetizing compound to make 'croquettes,"
as IL hash would not be too polite name
for such a mess. A little later ON the
