NINE, BISHOPS FAREWELL
The First Annual Music Festi-
val Comes to an
End.
An Undertaking That Loses Money.
but Has Good Artistic
Results

| At the matinee of the California Music
Festival Association in Metropolitan Hall
| Nine. Genevra Bishop proved
that she is as great mistress of operate
music as she is of oratorio, and that as a
| lyric singer the beauty and llghtness OF
| her touch is marvellous.
In the grand aria from ''Der Freischutz"
Nine. Bishop beautifully expressed the
various emotions which succeed each
other in the heroine's mind-the hope,
other songs, being varied in character,
were equally we'll rendered. Bach s
| ''Eyermore Lost to Me-" a touching
lament was as sweet and sad as LA
| Zingara" was bright and dashing.
Bernhard Mollenhauer evoked warm ap-
plause for his playing of Leon d. Saint
! Lubin's violin fantasia in Lucia Di Lam
mermoor," which was extremely well rem
| dered.
Miss Cook who accompanied Mme
Bishop, played several pianoforte solos
charmingly.
The Etude by Rubinstein and LISTS
Rossignol were especially brilliant. Ho-
II. Howe, the Sea" bright and breezy
little composition, and is Not His
| Word" Qrom the 'Elijah"). The latter
suits Henley's voice and he sang very well.
! There was much better attend ance
| last night than on the opening evening
and no doubt if the festival could be pro-
| longed for several days it would attract
large audiences. Unfortunately. how
ever, last nights was the closing per-
| formance, and there will be no chance of
hearing Nine. Bishop again this season
as her bookings compel herito continue
her tour at once.
Mime. Bishop was in splendid voice
in 1oct irhr III l.,
complaisant in responding to encores
She sang Chaminade's "Sleep, Little Rose.

Like Flower" with exquisite expression,
and she was equally at home in an aria
from Massenet's "Cid." By special re-
quest one OF Nine: Bishops encores was
Il Know That Ny Redeem er Liveth."
The chorus repeated it's former success
last night. 1t sang "Ail Men Praise, y

"Stabat Mater" in which Nine. Bishop
gave the solo and Remember Now Thy
Creator" short cantata by J. Hamilton
Howe, who conducted.
Mr.. Howe's cantata contained some
very attractive music, and it was crisply
and effectively sung by the chorus
Homer Henley rendered the solos and the
quartet was sung by Miss Grace A. Sabip,
Mrs. Homer Henley and Messrs. Gran
dali and Henley. Mrs. L. Murdock, the
accompanist TO the association, did ex.
cellent work, and Henry BIetherick made
the best of the poor organ
Miss Cook played several piano solos
with good deal of virtuosity, par:icu-

The Yellow Flag Floats
Over the Oriental
Steamship.
Arrives at Vancouver With
Two Sick Cinnamon
on Board.
Passengers and Crew Ordered Into
Quarantine for Fourteen
Days.

VANCOUVER. B. c., April 2s.-The
Canadian Pacific Railway Company's
steamer Empress of China arrived in port
yesterday floating an ominous yellow flag,
as signal that there was smallpox
aboard. In spite of this fact the steamer
Maude, having on board the usual crowd
OF hotel runners, newspaper men and
Government officials, put off to meet her.
DIR. Watt, the Government Health Officer,
mounted the deck OF the big white liner
and motioned the crowd back. No one
but J. A. Fullerton, representing the Can
adian Pacific Railway, was allowed on
board. Watt is a new appointee OF the
new Government, and he at once showed
that he meant business by telephoning to
Victoria that the crew, cabin passengers
and coolies must be kept at the quarantine
station for fourteen full days and comply
with the law as far as fumigation, baths
and change of clothing is concerned, and
any one coming in contact with the
steamer would also be detained.
This news caused great CONSERVATION on
board, as more than 1000 passengers
some of them titled aristocrats, and
proud-would have to be housed in small
quarters, like stock in pen, the accom-
modations being inadequate at the sta
ton, while the big ship was fumigated
from stem to stern. One dignitary, the
Marquis of Bredalbain, an English Priyy
Councillor, is compelled to submit to the
common fate with the motley crowd.
All are victims OF an accident, for in in
specting 700 Chinese who boarded the
steamer in the Orient the doctors were
most rigid IN their examinations, but
two succeeded in passing their prac-
ticed eye-two in which the germs of dis
ease were lurking.
The China is loaded to her fullest ca
pacity, and has On board ITO cabin pas
sengers, crew of 200 and some 700 China.
men-200 bound for Victoria and the rest
for various destinations on the mainland.
DR.. Watt states that the steamer can
not proceed to her distributing point In
Vancouver until every man of the crew is
replaced by fresh one, and even then
not until three days have elapsed. This
is serious problem for the Canadian Pa
cific Railway to solve. The crew cannot
be replaced in that time, and those two
sick Cinnamon are responsible tor more

"REMINISCENCES OFTHE WAR

of the war; Indeed, before the
war so eccentric was be that lie
was called "Crazy Jack" at the
Virginia Military Institute. No
body seemed to understand him.
But so it has been and ever will
be: when We ordinary mortals can't
comprehend a genius we get even

| remember we'll how uneasy
some of the Confederate Generals
were when placed under Jackson's
command in early 1862. wellE
didn't like it, and Dick Taylor
didu't ike it. They were afraid
Jackson would lead them into
some awful scrape or other. Aud
when Ewell, with his division, was
lying near Gordonsville in late
April, 1862, bat subject to Jack
sons orders, Ewell and Taylor
were very anxious to get from un.
der him. Either to go down to
Joe Johnston at Yorktown, or
have some General sent to the Val
ley who would rank with Jackson u.
So at Taylor's instance. he was
sent to Richmond by Ewell to see
Mr.. Davis, his brother.in-law, and
Mr.. Benjamin, then Secretary of
State, but recently Secretary Of
War, about getting away from
Jackson. But while Taylor was
gone Jackson ordered Ewell to

Ridge toward Charlottesville;
thence west by rail past Stanton
to Buffalo Gap, aud thence north

where lie struck Milroy. But
there We were for a few days at
Swift Run Gap, without hearing a

may have known where he was,

Meanwhile, Taylor returned from
