mastery of the art of bel canto.
/ Clarence Eddy, the eminent American organ
! ist is giving successful recitals in London.
| Among other works that he has played for the
| first time in the English capital is new sonata
from the pen of NJ. Guilmant. Tile work is
| dedicated to Clarence Eddy, and in dimensions
| and construction is without doubt the most
| imposing composition for the organ which M.
| Guilmant has yet produced. In form it
| resembles one of Widor's organ symphonies
rather than the sonata of the stereotyped pat
| tern, as it has FIVE movements-an allegro,
adagio, scherzo, recitative and ohorale and
| fugue. It's principal interest to musicians
| probably lies in the scherzo, which displays a
boldness and fire that NJ. Guilmant has never
surpassed.
| There is a movement on foot toward insti-
tuting season of grand opera in Philadelphia
| next winter at the Academy of Music under
the direction of Gustav Hinrichs. Hitherto
the Quaker City has contented itself with the
operate crumbs that have fallen from the
New York table and these have not always
been the most plentiful or the best. The man.
agement will require a guarantee fund of
$50 900 before undertaking the enter prise.
About $50 900 has already been subscribed.
One OF the chief attractions at the Lower
Rhenfsh festival held this year IN Cologne
was the performance of Heine's "Pilgerfahrt
Mach Kevlaar," by Humperdinck This short
work. written for tenor and contralto soil,
chorus and orchestra, is delightfully."- fresh.
Unlike Humperdinck's operas it shows the in
huence OF Schumann rather than of Wagner.
The famous old Tonhalle, familiar to periodi-
cal visitors to Zurich, has just closed its doors
forever after a solemn performance of Han
dels "The Messiah But "le roi est mort,
Alpine Quay, is to be inaugurated in October
three days.
Professor Reinecke, who last month entered
upon his seventy-second year, will, 1t is under
stood, shortly retire from the conductorship OF
the famous Gewandhaus concerts, which he
has held for thirty-fye years, his predecessor
in the office having been julius Reitz, who
himself succeeded Mendelssohn.
Mrs. Reeves wife of the distinguished Eng
lish tenor, Sims Reeves, died recently at Upper
Norwood, near London. The deceased lady,
who was in her seventy-ffth year, was we'll
known in her youth both on the lyric stage
and the concertroom. Her maiden name was
Emma Lucombe.
| Humperdincks s'Hansel and Gretel has been
performed in the Swedish language at the
| Royal Theater in Stockholm with enormous
| success-and still the American production of
this operate sensation tarries.
| An Italian novelist has furnished Mascagni
with hbretto from Zola's "Nana," which will
| probably be the composers next opera.

OPINIONS OF EDITORS.

BY the provisions of the Wright law thou.
sands OF acres have been brought under Guilt
Walton which would not otherwise have been
developed for decades. More than $50, 900 900
worth OF bonds have been sold, and are now
held all over the United States and in Europe.
The prosperity of the entire San Joaquin Val
ley depends to very large extent upon the
constitutionality of the Wright law, and Judge
Ross decision will bring CONSERVATION to
thousands OF people, not only in California,
where the cause of irrigation is of paramount
Importance, but in the East and in Europe,
where the bonds are held.-San Jose Mercury.
The electrical boom promises to convert
California into rival of Massachusetts, as
manufacturing State. The amount of water
going to waste in this State is more than equal
to that which falls over the Niagara cataraets
1t Is lar easier to utilize, is widely distributed
and can be used over and over again in its
course to the valleys. All that is needed is
for Californians to arouse themselves to an
appreciation of this source OF wealth and to
utilize it.-Stockton Independent.
From the report of the Street Superintendent
OF San Francisco it appears that cobblestone
pavement is still being laid in that city, some
1885 linear feet OF street having been put down
with that horrible device during the past year.
We did not suppose that even In darkest Africa
tnere was q city which had not discarded cob
bles, and to find that the metropolis of Cali
fornia is still using them, even to small
extent is almost paralyzing Oakland En-
quirer.
1t is announced that there is to be new de-
parture in the way OF conducting the Mechan-
les Fair at San Francisco this year Heretofore
it has been too much display of Eastern
products, but this year it is to be a display of
California manufactures and productions, and
the methods of their manufacture or growth.
The idea is good one, and good will come of
it if carefully carried out.-Tulare Register.
The cry "oregon for Oregonians" is all right,
but what the State wants, needs and must have
is more Oregonians. The population of the en-
tire State is less than the central valley of the
Willamette is capable of sustaining in peace,
happiness, luxury and wealth. We want more
people-new people-new blood.-Salem (Or.)

Walter Hume Long, the new Troy President
of the British Board of Agriculture, comes

newly introduced Virginia weed.
The truth about the Democratic party is the
SO long as it was out of power it was able to
conceal its ineficiency, but soon as it was
put in control of public affairs, its melancholy
lack OF capacity was disclosed, and it began to
go to pieces.-Astorian (Oregon).

THOMAS OF NEVADA Webs.
Marriage of a Popular Young
ASSemblyman at the
Palace.
The Bride Is Miss May James of
OroVille, a Graduate of Mills
Seminary.

There was a quiet wedding at Che Palace
Hotel last evening that will interest great
many people about the State. The groom
Der of the Assembly from Nevada County.
He was chairman of the Committee on
Mines and Mining in the Legislature and,
although one of the younger members, had
a great deal of influence in shaping legis-
lation. He was fluent speaker and made
many warm friends among members of
both political parties. Mr.. Thomas is also
the secretary of the Debris Commission
and interested in mining at Nevada City,
1t is more than likely that he will be
chosen by his constituents as State Sena-
tor at the next election. He is now serving
his second term as a member of the AS
sembly.
The bride was Miss May James, daugh-
ter of William James, well-known CAPT.
talist and landowner of Butte County.
Her residence has been at Oroville. She is
eled extensively and is altogether charm
ing and accomplished young lady.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. j.
Sims OF Nevada City, an old friend of the
groom. Evan Morgan of Oakland acted as
the groom's best man and Miss Maud Nor
gan was the bridesmaid.
The large apartments in the Palace were
tastefully decorated with ferns and flowers
and potted plants. There were present
only the relatives of the bride and groom
and few very intimate friends. The
wedding was a quiet affair, owing to the
TACT that the groom's mother is ill.
After the ceremony and congratulations
the party sat down to an elaborate wedding
supper.

CITY OWNERSHIP.

Congressman Mcguire Says Street Rail-
ways Can BE Conducted by the
Board of Supervisors.
The action of the Society for Practical
Progress in taking up the municipal own
ership of public utilities, such as street
railways, gas, electric lights and water
works, has attracted the attention of many
thinking PEOPLE in San Francisco, among
whom is Congressman Mcguire.
Il am in favor" said Mr.. Mcguire yester-
day, "of the public ownership and opera
ton OF every enterprise OF general utility,
which If left to private control must be-
come monopoly. As the business of sup
plying water and light to city are in that
category am decidedly in favor of having
them owned and operated by the City.
am opposed to the public operation of any
productive or com mercial enterprise which
is not within that category
Mr.. Mcguire also stated that it would be
an easy matter to revoke the franchises of
the several street railway companies
should the City see proper to do SO. 1t
was only necessary to condemn the prop
eerty and then have the court place Yalua-
ton on it.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Billy Harrington, q wellknown Republican
politician, dropped into the nightly Iroquols-
Pepper gathering in the Hobbies of the Baldwin
Hotel last evening to get some pointers. "This
solid eight in the Board of Supervisors is too
many for me- he said. "You know, short
time ago the board was about to appoint six
clerks to do some work for it while sitting as a
Board of Equalization. That made one clerk
for two Supervisors, and so they were divided
off in pairs and each pair allowed to name one
appointee l went to see A., one OF the
members of the solid eight and asked him to
name friend of mine. very sorry, he said,
but can't do anything in the matter. You
see B. and had the naming of one clerk. We
shook dice to see who would have the place
and B. won. If it wasn't for that would name
your man in minute"
$50, knowing B. very WE'LL" continued Har-
rington. II looked him up and made the same
request. Very sorry he said, but can't do
anything in the matter. You see A. and had
the naming of one clerk. We shook dice to see
who would have the place and A. won. If it
