the Roles of Hanse and Grete1 the First English Version.

advice. At the early age OF 8 years Miss
Douste-in company with her sister, who is
also well-known musician - visited the
United States in professional capacity, and
so enamored were the ladies of Boston of the
sisters musical talents that they formed
"Douste" club, which is still a lourishing in
stitution. Miss Marie Elba. who created the
English role of Hansel, is the daughter of
Danish clergyman. 1t was her intention to be
pianist, but the conductor of the Stockholm
opera, after hearing her sing at Copenhage
when she was in her eighteenth year, induced
her to go to Stockholm TO study. This she did,
and after remaining there year she made her
debut in "Lakme." The young debutante
made such an impression that she was called
before the curtain no less than fifteen times.
Both these young prima donnas contributed
largely to the success of 'Hansel and Gretel,"
for though the plot of the opera is simple the
music is intricate. The latest news respecting
the opera is that it is to be produced in Italy
this coming winter. The musical paper
Trovatore, speaking of 1t says, "'Hsnsel
and GreteP is the best product of musical Ger
many since Wagner left of writing"
A curious piece of news is contained in the
Monde Orphanique: "A new instrument has
just been introduced into the orchestra OF the
Royal Opera at Dresden. 1t is known as .
war horn,' and is no other than the horn OF
an African antelope, perforated with great
address. Its mouthpiece is of metal, and ex-
actly resembles that of a trumpet. Its natural
scale gives i've notes-ut, sol, Ut, mi, sol-Rnd
1t appears that its sound is much more ma
1estlc and penetrating than that OF any metal
horn. William H. in his quality as musician,
has interested himself very much in the new
instrument and has given orders for its MIRO
ductlon into the army. 1t is stated at Berlin
that the new war horn will supplant the reg
ulation clarion of the Prussian army. Its
length of nearly a yard and half will
astonish the soldiers, and those who are of
the Hebrew faith will be able to imagine
themselves in an old synagogue, for it seems
that the antelope's horn very much resembles
the old religious horn of the Israelites (scho-
pharl. 1t is to be hoped that, musically speak
Ing, 1t win give more melodious results" The
parallel between metal horn and one Of real
horn seems rather doubtful from the stand
point OF acoustic science. In any case, admit
ting that the projects of William II are we'll

army adopting for its signals the ancient war
horns Of the indigenes of Kassai.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

The average hotel proprietor and clerk will
tell you these days that it beats the world how
many loungers there are at the hotels, who do
not stop there, and who are in no way con-
nected with the hostelries. Many of these peo-
pie kindly have their mail come in care of the
hotels, and it is good part of the clerks JOB
TO answer inquiries from these "patrons."
The hotel people call men of this class
"ehair boarders," because all they do is to hold
down the chairs at the hotels. Not few of
them have divers schemes on foot for winning
a useful dollar from the guests.
All the principal hotels have their full
quota OF the chair-boarders. There are no ex-

needs a larger volume of redemption
money, and the Republican party believes
so too; but the Republican party knows
very well that the reconciliation of silver
would not add a single dollar to the vol
ume of money employed in current opera
tions unless commerce sanctioned the re-
monetization. Hence it is that the Re-
publican party proposes to make commerce
a party to an agreement to open the minis
to silver, and hence it is also that Senator
Wolcott and all other sensible students of
the science of money are supporting Major
NJ cKinley.
1t is very true that the Bryanites are
aiming at the RECOMMENDATION of silver,
put they propose to defy commerce and
the law of trade and arbitrarily legislate
values. That would do very well if laws
could be enacted which would oblige COM
merce to accept values that were created
by law, but it so happens that commerce
in the matter OF fixing values is law
unto itself, and it is superior to any nation
or people. 1t follows, Il en-, that If silver
were remonetiZed in opposition to the
wish of commerce, commerce would make
a distinction between the money it APP
proved of and that which it did not APP
prove Of, and very naturally it would carry
that which it did approve to countries
that were in harmony with it, thus leav-
ing the nation issuing the other kind OF
money upon the basis of that money. To
avoid such calamity to our home and
foreign trade, Senator Wolcott, free
silver man, urges the people of his State
to aid the Republican party in its effort to
remonetize silver upon basis that will
make silver dollar the equal of a gold
dollar the world over.
