COMING OPERA SEASON.
An Interesting Interview with Mr
 Damrosch.
Americans Not i'rejudiced Against American Artists The Concert Field Is Occupied by Foreigners
 This season-New Operas.
fcopyright, 1887.

New York; Walter Damrosch and his partner, Charles A. Ellis, have con trol of the operatie field this year. They expect a particularly successful season, and they will give in addition to the German operas, which were the first MT. Damroseh produced. Italian and French operas and opera in Eng fish.
 It is noteworthy fact that with Fery large organization prepared 10 give opera in four languages, Mr. Dam roseh has among his singers only two Americans. Taken in connection with the fact that the only American of note in the concert field this winter is Mme, Nordica, this does not seem to promise well for the development of musical art in the United States. Mr. Dam roseh, however, denies 6hat there is any prejudice in our great cities against American singers or composers.
 "So far as the managers are con cerned' said Mir. Damrosch, in conver- sation with me a few days ago, we would rather do business with native artists if we could obtain them. Why2 Because they are better business peo- ple-they have more respect for con- tract than the foreigner. The foreign artists look on a contract as thing that should bind us and not bind them. They want everything their own way. We get along much better with the
 mericans."
 You have had some disagreeable ex- perience with your German singers?'' l suggested.
 Mr. Damrosch smiled. No more than every other manager he said. But this talk about prejudice against Amer jean artists on the part of the public is absurd. Look at the great success made by Miss Ella Russell when she was here last winter. Of course, an artist must have established reputation be-

 Is the musical taste of the American people improving?"
 Undoubtedly. In Chicago. for in- stance, il would be impossible that the people who have listened to the classic al concerts which have been given there for many years, and to the oper- atie productions, should not have their musical sense heightened, their ear for harmony developed. The experience of the people of other cities with con- cert and opera has created a taste among them also for the higher grade of music
 Yet Wagner alone does not prosper"
 Nr Damroseh shook his head If it did," he said. 'I should give nothing else. But Wagner is not suited to the American life. The people of this country dine at six or seven o'clock. To go after. that to Wagner opera, which lasts till midnight, and then to get up at seven o'clock and go to work is too much to expect of man more than once a week at most"
 Do you think it possible that Mr. Grau could carry out the idea with which he is credited of making a second Bayreuth of New York, and bringing people from all parts of the United States to hear adequate productions of all the Wagner operas here?"
 T see no reason why it should not succeed" said' Mr Damroseh.

fore she will command attention. The same is true of composers. But the works of Mcdowell. for example, are accepted in this country to-day as read fly as the works of foreign composers. No, you may set it down that the com poser who talks of prejudice does not write acceptable musc.'
 Do you think that your own opera. The Scarlet Letter. had a fair triai?"
 ''l think it was most generously re ceiyed both in Boston and in New York, considering that was obliged to entrust two of the principal roles to foreign artists. The chief criticism of it was that it was not strong dramatic ally. This season 1 propose to present it adequately, with Krauss in the tenor part and Bispham as Chillingworth Both are fine artists, and the test the opera will receive will show whether it possesses stability"
 Twill you present any other works by American composers ?"
 Not in opera. The Oratorio society will present a new work of Prof. John Parker, of YaIe-St. Christopher which is still in the manuscript. Ihaye no doubt from the character of the work that it will be fayorably re- ceived."
 There are two American singers in our opera company this winter-Miss Barna and Mir. Bispham. Miss Barna was heard here some years ago as Miss Barnard, of California. That was before she had been abroad and made her reputation. She is to sing the Brunhildes. and am studying the parts with her new. She has a fine voice and strong dramatic qualities, and l am quite sure her countrymen will give her merits warm recogni- tion. Mir. Bispham is Philadelphian who has already made himself we'll liked in this country in both concert and opera. None of our other principals is American, and our chorus is com posed entirely of Germans. We had to have chorus hich could sing in Ital- ian, German and English. Neither an Italian nor an American chorus could have done that. We bring a few 1taI- ians over to lead the Italian choruses, but most of our chorus people will be recruited in New York;
 What is the outlook for opera in Ameriea?"
 Tt was never better" said Mir. Dam rosch, with some enthusiasm. q think the time is not very far distant when every large city in the United States will have it's own opera company. Philadelphia virtually has one. We play there a season of seven weeks. New York has an opera company. So has New Orleans. Chicago will have one before many years, I think, and Boston certainly will. We play an ad- ditional week in Boston this year. Washington is too small to have per manent company. We are to go there

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one Way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an iilflamed condition of the mn cous lining of the Eustaehian Tube. When this tube gets inilared you have a runbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases of of ten are caused by eataIrh, which is nothing but an unframed condition of the mucous surfaces.

 Yes, and reckon we might as well make up our minds to pay for 'em.
 The conversation was becoming per- sonal, and before it got too much so and I would be placed where it would be decidedly embarrassing, 1 broke in:
 :" Now, look here, brethren,' said |, you don't have to worry about what you are going to pay me. You don't have to pay me cent unless you want to, and am not here to get money for my work. Still, 1 have to live, and I'll agree to this-every time you get lick in my sermon while l am here you just pay me nickel, and if l don't hit you at all it won't cost you a cent. Now, is that fair? Is it a bargain ?'
 "They agreed to it with great una nimity, and I went ahead with my preaching, doing the best 1 knew how and praying for strength to tell the truth to the people and to help them to be better men and women, and 1 kept it up for week and was ready to start in on the second week, when one of my men came to me behind the little log meeting house where was reading my Bible.
 So you're going to preach another weekf' he said, anxiously.
 "'Yes,' said 1.
 "'Well, for the Lords sake, Brother Hudson,' he said, in the most pleading tones, T wish you'd quit and go home. You've hit me so many liclss already that I'll have to sell the only pair of mules I've got and yoke of yearlin' cattle to pay you what l owe you al- ready, and if you stay another week I'll have to give up the farm and put a chattel mortgage on the old woman and the children

LBxINGToN's NEW FERRY BOAT.


Lexington is soon Il have a new ferry
boat that will be one of the best that has
ever been stationed at this place. TIE
boat is being built by the Lexington
Transfer and Coal Company and is to be
constructed in first-class style. Mr.. A.
w. Eaton has the contract for building
and says he will have the boat ready for
business in about eighty days. The boat
is to be 31xSS feet on deck and is to be 3A
feet deep. The ferry boat that we have is
large enough to cross all of the trade that
they have at present but this is the dull
season in this business and they are to
have the new boat on before the traffic
opens up this fall. The men who are
working on the boat are old experienced
boat-builders and they say they have
never yet had as fine a lot of timber to
work with as they find in Lafayette
county and also say it is superior to the
famous oak lumber found in Arkansas.
