VARIOUS MUSICAL. NOTES.

The most important features of the
program was the first performance in
this country of four new songs by
Brahms, entitled Four Series Songs.
The texts of these compositions are
taken from the Bible and are really
uncommon both in spirit and form
They are sort Of a modernized oratorio
in condensed form, and it is claimed
will certainly take a place among the
highest art products of their species,
as they possess rare dignity, beauty
and newness.
Mr.. David Bispham, the popular
baritone of the Metropolitan opera
house, and kinsnlan Of Rev. Clarence
Bispham of Trinity, gave his first song
recital Tuesday night at Carnegie ly-
ceum, with the assistance Of Mr.
Charles Gregorowitch, violinist; Miss
Marquette Hall, mezzo soprano, and
Mr.. Victor Harris, aecompanist. 1t
was a very pleasing affair, and was
heartily enjoyed by a numerous and
kindly disposed audience. Mr. Bisp-
ham sang them admirably fine. His
defamation was up to his usually fine
standard, and his coloring admirable.
He sang also a group of German songs,
old and new, and six songs by Ameri-
can composers, some of whom We're
present to play the accomplishments in
person, which added very materially to
the interest in the event. Miss Hall
gave genuine pleasure. Her good
voice and cultured style make her a
welcome participant in any concert.
Mr.. Gregorowitch, a Russian artist of
renown, played several selections all
with beautiful tone and faultless tee
nique.
The stage for the occasion was ar
ranged in drawing room fashion, and
produced a decidedly homelike effect.
The delightful entertainment was
brought to a close by the singing of
four duets by Mr.. Bispham and Miss
Hall Several New Haven people were
in attendance.

to. The company includes Bertha
Waltzinger, Adele Richie, George G.
Boniface, jr., Henry Norman, Joseph
Sheehan, Alice Barnett and others.

Grand Opera House.
Jim THE PENMAN."


There will be fine play finely pre-
scented at the Grand opera house the
last three days this week 1t is one,
Judging from the edict of the American
critics, that stand head and shoulders in
popular interest above all other Eng
fish importations every brought to this
country. It's author is Sir Charles
Young and its name Jim the Pen
man. The play has been seen here
before, therefore is no stranger to the
local theater devotee. The company
presenting it this year is equal to its
predecessor, in some respects superior.
It will delightfully."- present this notable
play.
Frank C. Bangs, the man of many
parts, is, according to the critics, CIV
ing a, rendition of the part of Ralston,
such as has never been given. Mary
Edith Rice has essayed to wear the
mantel of Agnes Booth in the part of
Nina, and it fits her with admirable
grace. The part is so entirely within
her power that her forcible perform
ance is almost matter of course.
Edward Emery, as Captain Redwood,
always an admirable actor presents in
this a study so fine, so true, SO consist
emit in all it's details as to set criticism
a na1lght. 1t is in the introduction
and treatment of this character more
than any other part that the author
displays his fine dramatic sense, which
in Mr.. Emery's hands is most skilfully
expressed.

day evenings next week the doors of

THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
Free Silver and All Will Be Reafirmed by Nr
 ginia Democrats Today.

Roanoke, Va, Aug 10-The democratic state convention which assemblies in the count house here tomorrow at noon, will be one of the most remarkable bodies of the kind gathered in Virginia for some time. The membership consists of I 40S delegates, most. of whom will be present The convention will nomlnata a governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and adopt platform of principles upon which the contest i.lls year is to be waged.
 It.is conceded that J. H. Tyler will be nomfnaia.d for governor on the first bal lot and by an overwhelming majority. His opponent will be State Chairman J. M. Taylor Ellison.
 The city is crowded tonight with dele gates and leading party men. Among the latter here are United States Sena- tors Daniel and Martin; of the candidates for governor Major Tyler and MT. ElH- son and those for lieutenant governor and attorney general and of the congress sional delegation of the state.
 At a meeting tonight of the state com mittee, MT. G. D. Letcher, of Lexing- ton, was chosen temporary chairman of the convention. Other temporary officers are: Secretary, Col John Bell Bigger, J. s. McDermett, sergeant-at-arms.
 The convention will reaffirm the Chi cago platform and make the free coinage of silver the overshadowingS issue.
 The most interesting feature of the pro- ceedings promises to be the attempt to adopt the primary plan for the nomina- tion of democratic candidates for the United States senate in this state. This proposition will be advocated by some of the most prominent leaders. It will, how ever, meet with decided opposition in equally prominent circles.

THANKING THE GOVERNOR.
Birmingham German-Amercan Union Approves
 the Back Tax Law.

Montgomery Ala, Aug. 10.-(Speeial)- Governor Johnston was today Sn re- ceipt of communication from RiNhard H. Fries, secretary of fl1e Germa n -AnASri- can Union at Birmingham, in which he enclosed copy of resolutions passc1 last Friday night commenting the legisla ture for having enacted the tax commission law providing for the payment of back taxes. and approving the action of Gov ernor Johnston in his enforcement of the law and commenting him for his able and conscientious discharge of duty with out fear or favor to any one.
 GovernOr Johnston sent letter to Mir. Fries thanking him and the German American Union for the confidence they had placed in him, and saying that he had done nothing but his duty, and that he proposed to do it at all times, believ- ing that by his enforcement of the law he had contributed much to reduce the burdens that had fallen upon those who had been making fair and just returns, and at the same time wiping out the de- ficits, maintaining the credit of the state and improving the public school system. The governor also said in his reply that the property that had escaped taxation was of character that was not visible and that there had been also injustice in many instances in not equalizing the value of visible properly not returned. The governor in concluding his letter says he has not found a single man in the state whose property has been assessed at more than it's fair value. and if such there be he would be glad to as far as
 possible aid in correcting the injustice, if any iniustice had been done.
