ADJUSTMENTS.
Mad for Love of Della Fox.

Improvising weird melodies on an mag
mary piano, frantically swaying an mag
mary baton as he conducts an imaginary
opera, August Bauer, until recently regard
ed as one of the brightest of young New
York musical managers of stage produc-
tons, passes the hours in the insane pa
vilion at Bellevue Hospital. Infatuation
for Della Fox, the little member of the
big comic opera triumyirate, is said to be
responsible for his mental arrangement.
Bauer is a graduate of German and Italian
music colleges. He has conducted the or
cheStra in grand opera productions IN winch
Lehman, Scalchi and other renowned stars
have appeared-always with success. He
has been a hard student and composer of
some ability.
Up to the time of the recent opening of
THE Wedding Day. at the Casino Bauer
showed no traces of madness. The opening
night he sent for box. railing TO get II
he haunted the stage door He followed Miss
Fox from the theater and Swallowed her
home She became afraid of him, and COM
planned to his friends. Bauer was warned,
and promised to cease annoying the actress.
In a measure he kept his promise, but he
took a new tack.
He haunted the quarters of the Witmark
music publishing house. in West Twenty
eighth street. For hours he would stand
around the rooms humming stage airs, and
when allowed to get at a piano he played
weird melodies. He ran to Waltzes and
marches in his compositions, never playing
the same twice. 1t was found impossible TO
keep him away, and an appeal was made to
his family.
Bauer was kept closely confined to his
home for several days, but his actions were
strange that he inspired fear. He has
never been violent. though it is feared he
may take a turn in that direction. His
brother thought it best to turn him over to
the authorities. In the insane pavilion he
groups his fellow-unfortunates into
choruses and tries to force them to sing
his disordered compositions. over some of
the patients he exercises considerable pow
er because of his ability as whistler.

Anna Held sailed for Paris on the st.
Paul this week the same steamer that car
red "Oom jack Gowdy. The charming
French singer has made a great hit in this
country with Evans and Hoey in "A Parlor
Match" Her engagement, originally for
three months was heightened to thirty
two weeks. The business done during that
time was more than $4,000, and Miss Held
takes back with her $4,000 of American
money. She goes to the Vaudeville Theater,
Paris, but will return in November to make
a starring tour of this country on her own
account in an English farce-comedy.
About the same time Cleo de Merode will
be in the height of her career at Roster
& Balls. You know" she said, as she
arched her brow, "Merode was declared the
most divine creature on the Partisan stage.
In fact, she took the first prize but-what
ees it you Americans say? Oh. yes; There
are uzzers," and Miss Held laughed merrily.
"Of course, | don't mean to say that
Merode is not clever in a way, or that she
is not pretty. but--well, just wait and see.

how those contests are generally decided"
In addition to Captain Gowdy, Anna Held
will have for companions on the steamer
