GRAND OPERA Ho1ysE.

Friday and Saturday, is indeed well
come. A play of country life is al
ways invigorating to healthy minds,
and "Old Jed Prouty," for many sea-
sons exploited by Mr.. Richard Golden,
has proved exceptionally attractive ev-
erywhere.
The happenings in Bucksport as set
forth in this quaint bit of pastoral COM
edy, are by turns pathetic and amusing,
especially when exemplified by the
splendid company supporting Mr. Gold
en-, the majority of whom have appear
ed with mi almost uninterruptedly since
the first production of the piece. Mr..
Golden's endeavor to do full justice to
thentire play deserves hearty recogni-
ton, and it is hardly necessary to urge
the public to respond numerously to
Mr.. Bunnells invitation to the "Old Jed
Prouty" receptions.
There will be bean guessing contest
by the audience, and the one guessing
the correct number, or nearest to it.

HYPERION.

Joseph Jefferson will present "Trip
Van Wrinkle at the Hyperion on Sat
urday evening next. The sale of seats
Is now open. Prices $1.50, 81.
A celebrated critic in speaking of the
great Italian actress, Elenora Duse,
who will appear at the Hyperion on
Monday evening next in Camille, :"
says: If we are asked how Duse plays
we feel almost inclined to answer that
she does not play at all. She exercises
her art before the beginning of the
play, when she changes herself into the
mythical human being created by the
author, but then she does not play,
but fate plays on her as the pianist
does on the piano. She is there and
each vibration of fate strikes the right
key in her. Under these circumstances
1t will be comprehended that we see
her writhe in agonies actually felt, that
we behold real tears trickling down her
cheeks and know by the stif1ed and wo-
begone accents of her voice that she is
weeping. Similarly genuine is the re
Election of happiness that shines forth
from her. She thus every evening
actually lives through the most trying
situations, suffers anguishing pains, ex-
penriences mental agonies. The sale
of seats opens this morning. Prices
So, $3.50, 50, $1,5O, 81. Telephone orders
will not be received during the morning
sale to-day. Not more than ten tickets
sold to one person.

Taken in Railways.
New York, April 15.-Probably the
best feature of the market to-day was
the increased interest taken in the rail-
way issues by commission and foreign
houses. The buying by London firms
was confined mainly to st. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville, while local
commission brokers were moderate
buyers of the grangers, Vanderbilts
and Consolidated Gas.
There was only some investment buy
ing of railway mortgages, for both
home and foreign account. The adj
vance in sterling exchange had no in

equal to A@15s per cent. and was most
pronounced in Sugar.

of Him.

OF tftms
Allusion has been made to the financial
results of Sousa's compositions. O1 their
present and prospective value II Is
pleasure to quote from a thoughtful crit
icism made by w. s. q. Matthews the
distinguished musical author and critic,
taken from a recent number of his maya
zine. Music:
'.Speaking of American composers and
an American school of music. what Is the
matter with John Philip Sousa? l went
10 hear his magnificent band at its four
concerts i'm the Auditorium during the
first part of November. and all my old
admiration for this highly gifted artist
revived and increased. Sousa's band Is
probably one of the two or three best IN
the world and far the best that has ever
been heard in this country. IL Is large
and fully appointed and its personnel Is
made up of mastery players, drilled into
unity and sympathetic performance by
Sousa himself one of the best practical
drill masters TO be found anywhere. The
range of their performances is something
astonishing.
"Sousa as a composer has a rank of his
own. 1t seems wrong to tell OF IT, but
the cold fact is that the sales of his Lib
erty Bell and Manhattan Beach march
es during three months this year brought
him something over 5000. The royalties
for the year will amount to about S2oOoo
for these two pieces alone. Meanwhile
another publisher is selling round
dozen of other pieces of his with equal
success This tremendous popularity
means that his pieces have decided spirit
and originality and that they please the
public upon a large scale.
Il do not labor to give Sousa credit for
this He is not working at composition.
He is simply a new kind of American
song-bird. who sings because he feels
and has the Gift of melody. Hered-
ity and environment have had much TO
do with the case. Spanish upon his faith

has been brought up TO manhood and
