Wagner's own direction He oversaw the
rehearsals in the Victoria Theater at Berlin
and there gave me his commendatiop.
FIN 1888 Klafsky was called TO the Bremen
City Theater as first dramatic singer, and
in 1885 she went to Hamburg City Theater.
where the period OF her full fame began.
Thenceforward the name Klafsky was des-
tined to awaken mighty echoes in the field
of vocal and dramatic art, and she achieved
steadily triumph upon triumph. Among the
greatest of those were her visits in German
opera to London in 1892 and 1894, under Sir
Augustus Harris. Here she scored an his
toric success. But in all the principal capt.
tails of Europe the name and fame OF Kath-
arina Klafsky are well known and &C
claimed. Klafsky is not solely a great
operate artist, but an equally great con-
cert singer. with large repertory. In adj
dftion to Wagner she is mistress of the
works of Giuck, Mozart, Beethoven, Weber,
Meyerbeer, Verdi and the younger masters.

would be attracted by this feature. which
could be elaborated upon at the discretion of
the commission. Mr.. Talbot thinks that
the Indian massacre at Pigeon Roost should
have place at the exposition. These little
object lessons of history, he thinks, would
be valuable to the young people and bring
to mind the trials the pioneer settlers Of
the State were forced to undergo.
Patrick Breen, of Vincennes, believes that
the people Of the State are heartily in favor
of such celebration. From the standpoint
of solder and loyal citizen, Mr.. Breen
is in full accord with the project. He urges
that the militia from several adjoining
States be invited to attend during the cele-
bration and that the United States be asked
to send some of its crack infantry, artillery
and cavalry companies. The fire depart

L. c. Fish. of Shoals, believes that such

The two beautiful works of art "Stella"
and "The Last Rendezvous will be on ex-
hibition only one more week il this city.
The exhibition on Washington street has
grown quite popular with art lovers and
many have seen the two paintings number
of times. Stella" is one OF the most per-
feet studies in the nude ever painted and is
given unqualified praise by the students in
Indianapolis. THE Last Rendezvous is
one of the boldest subjects in design ever
introduced in a painting, and either Of the
two pictures is well worth the time to
visit, even by those who have yet to learn
the first principles of art.
