OF the most amusing comedies OF this
sort ever witnessed occurred in St
Petersburg a few years ago. Miss
Clara Louise Kellogg was the central
figure in 1t. There was big reception
at the palace, and Miss kellogg and the
other singers had been invited to be
present. Court etiquette in st. Peters

the members of the imperial family
and their guests on such occasions may

enter by rear entrance. Miss Kellogg

For the first time in 1000 years Plau-
tus' comedy Captivi (the Captices) was
played in Boston May 16. at the Bitou
opera house. The players were stu
dents of Boston university, under the
direction of its Latin department, with
such aid from without in the making
of accessories as was necessary. They
gave the comedy in the Latin text,
with as near an approximation to Ro-
man scenic conditions as circumstances
permitted. The play is without a wo-
man character, and has scarcely a
reference to women.

After the extended and brilliant ca
reer as operate and dramatic manag-
ers, after introducing to the American
public the greatest actors and singers
OF Europe, after presenting grand op-
era on a more splendid scale than has
ever before been attempted in this
country, Messrs. Abbey Schoeffel and
Grau, controlling the Metropolitan
opera house and Abbey's theater IN
New York and the fremont theater in
Boston, have found themselves in seri-
Gus financial difficulties and have
made an assignment for the benefit of
their creditors.
Their oNeratic ventures since 1891
have given them enormous profits,
but, with two or three exceptions, tier
dramatic undertakings have been most
disastrous, and the latter have not only
swallowed up all the great gains of the
opera seasons. but have run the firm
into such debt that they find Them
selves as a firm and as individuals
practically stripped of every dollar
they owned.
The firms condition has been serious
for some time, but they had good
ground for hope that they could pull
through successfully. The crisis was
precipitated by Abbey's present serious
fitness. When the assignees have made
their report 1t will probably be found
that the sum total owned by the firm
is about 100000, but possibly may
prove somewhat less. The firm have
numerous assets, which, IL carefully
nursed and not forced upon the mar
ket, may produce 100000 or at least
Sl50,000 This does not include the sale
OF the firms lease of the Metro poi tan
opera house, for that cannot be Gis-
posed Of BY the vert act of the assign
ment il is Cancelled. They have otter
valuable properties and contracts, how
ever.
Among all the bong list of great end
lesser actors and actresses whom the
firm have managed during the past
few years, Irving and Bernhardt are
almost the only ones who have brought
profit TO the firm. The Lillian Russell
company headed the disastrous list,
WITH losses Of nearly 100000. Some of
the stars lost only few thousands for
the firm. but most of them ran UP into
tens Of thousands on the wrong side
Of the ledger. Such business could have
bLt one ending. and ii has come at
last in the complete ruin of the great
firm.
There Is hope that some arrange
ments can be made with the Metropoli-
tan directors 20 carry out the plans
already laid for next seasons opera,
and so confident are the firm in this
that Grau sailed for Europe to see the
artists who are now under contract,
and to arrange with them for a con-
tinuance OF the same until matters
here can be definitely adjusted.

After the foregoing matter was settled
at last evenings meeting the next question
taken up was a grievance presented by the
Painters Union. It was q complaint
against the contractors who are painting,
whitening and tinting the tfty-eight
schoolhouses of this City. The contract
so the complainants stated, requires the
contractors to scrape and wash the walls
and ceiling down to the plaster. In many
places as many as eight coats of whiten-
ing have been put on, one on top of an
other.
The painters state that this work is not
done, but that the whitening IS plastered
on the walls over old coats of dust and
the accumu ulated germs of disease of many
years. Special complaint was made OF
Contractor John Mickey and Architect G.
l. Havens, who. they say, should see that
the work is done properly. The painters
say they have sixty witnesses to the facts
