Jean de Reszke has shown his pet
tincss at last. Being singer of more
than ordinary talent-geniuS, in fact
it was believed that he would finally
break out in some way or another. For
a long time he disappointed his critics,
and seemed to be man. But the 9th
er day his musical instinct, with its
consequent jealousy, broke out, and he
bitterly and alphabetically declared he
would never sing with Nine. Nordica
again. Do you hero wOrshippers want
to know why this greatest of tenors
will not permit his tones to mingle with
those of the grand soprano? We'll,

Professor Joseph Smith, the talented
organist of St. Clements church has
presented the McGinty band with a
score, that of the MaXimillian Robes
pierre overture by Henry Litolff and
arranged by NJ. c. Meyrelles. The
boys will attack it at the next rehear-
sal. The overture is what may be
called "a corker." 1t is very heavy
music, and Judging from the looks of
the score, the woodwinds and the tubas
have a decidedly thorny road to travel.
The tuba parts especially are richly
ornamented with arpeggios in six
teepths, so that when the bass players
are through they will feel like taking
Il trip to Catalina island to recuperate.
However, the composition can be
learned, and the public will come to
appreciate it's massive magni6cence
ere the season is over.

But speaking of bass drummers re-
minds me. Theodore Thomas has a
bass drummer that is a bird. In one
number on a program rendered not
long ago, he had sixty three bars rest.
Now in these sixty three bars the
tempo changed about five times, the
latter part of the rest being in II s
time. This bass drummer went out for
sixteen beers, and kept the time in his
head 50 we'll, that he returned in time
to strike just right 10th note at the
close of the last beat in the last meas
ure of the sixty three bars rest. That
fellow was of an arithmetical turn OF
mind.

Lately a cycle race meet was given
in the City of Mexico and among the
entries was a chap who called himself
Scott. After the races were over it
developed that Scott had WOO every
race he was in, and now some of the
Mexican boys think they have been
played by ringer who entered under
an assumed name. He was new ar
rival in the city, but the high eleva-
ton did not seem to affect his speed
and mind. The Union Cyclists club
talks of an investigation.

Miss Ellen Beach Yaw did not die
after all, as the dispatches had it not
long ago, from over exertion in climb
ing up to her super high notes. She
still lives to sing clear above any one
else, and takes the Eiin altissimo with
the same ease that other singers take
the octave and half lower. Miss
Yaw's voice rolls up from the middle G
to the highest note ever sung by hui
man voice with the smoothness of q
stream of pearls. Her method is alb
solutely natural. The mouth simply
opens and the sound clears from it with
equal simplicity. There is no climbing
after these high notes, except on the
part of the electrified hearing of Miss
Yaw's auditors. This phenomenon is
at present singing in east Texas. The
following cut gives in the way of COM
parson, fair idea of the number of
musical stories to which Miss Yaw can
elevate her lovely jaw.

Armand Customary, the singer,
dropped dead the other night in the
Metropolitan opera house and in full
view OF the audience, while singing the
role of Trist tan in Martha. But so quiet
was the matter kept that but few in the
house were aware what had occurred.
The real name OF the deceased was Ar
mand De Castene. He was born in
Paris in 1850, and appeared in this
country for the first time in 1879 with
Max Strackosh, when he played French
opera in New Orleans. He was known
for many years as the Black Mephisto
in Faust.

The overture to Tannahanser will be
on the McGinty stands at the next
practice, and the band has improved
so this winter that it is believed there
will be no trouble, such as there was
before when the oboes flute fell over a
precipice, as it were, and which SO dis
gusted the management that the over
ture was laid away to slumber for six or
eight months. But Mr.. Rhom berg of
the second Illinois, infantry band at
Chicago, has now been given the second
oboe chair, Sr. Rosalio Fernandez has
returned to play flute. and Joe Gooson
will pickle the piccolo. So
everything looks lovely. An E fiat
clarinet player is badly needed, as it
was found necessary to let the late
performer on that instrument out for

Was there ever in the world, says the
Musical Courier, nation so blindly
slavish to the power of a name as the
American has allowed itself to become?
This is the foreign artists first excuse
for laughing at US, and there is right
in it. In the presence of a loudly
echoed name, we Americans allow a
heavy blind to be drawn across our
mental vision: we allow our ears to be-
come hopelessly stuffed all power of
Judgment hOpelessly suspended, and at
the close of any performance, good,
bad, middling or eXcrable-tOo often
the latter-we applaud vOciferously,
and show the most spasmOdic delight,
all for the sake of the individuals name.
Who know best and think most about
the delightful way in which the Amer
leans allow themselves to be humb ugg-
ed, and who chuckle unctiously behind
doors about it? Why the artists them
selves of course. Il sang disgraceful-
w." an artist mi ght address to conf
dant, but it went just the same. It's
the identical result no matter what l
give these Americans. They fete and
applaud me Just the same" It's all
true. Once we get the wool pulled
over our eyes and our ears filled with
good, round, resonant name we will
not permit ourselves to see straight or
hear anything but the magical name.
SO let the artists chuckle. There S
lots Of meaning in their chuckle.
