ADJUSTMENTS.

Music from the souls of the great ar
lists was interpreted and understood at
the Grand Opera House last night. The
celebrated Banda Rosa, which has just
come to this country and is better
known in Italy as the Red Band of
Severe, was here and showed itself a
formidable competitor for the laurels
of our beloved Sousa.
The house was large and apprecia-
tive. From the very first there was a
disposition to applaud Bandmaster
Sorrentino and his men, and the sweet
little girl virtuoso-Carlotta' Stuben-
rauch-received an ovation that has
seldom been paralleled in Wilmington.
Much against her custom, the hand
somely- dressed Italian maiden had to
come back for the third time and play
her magic violin.
Nine. Margaretta ven Vahsel, digni-
fed woman with fine mezzo-sopranC
voice and the marks of much culture
was also enthusiastically received.
The band itself is a wonder. Every
detail-even to the spick and span ap
pearance of the men, and the costly
novel and beautiful instruments, hai
been arranged with a keen view t
pleasing the public. When the bant
was not playing it was a picture; wheI
it did play, it was a dream.
1t IL perhaps in their operate selec
tions that the band excels, and there i
nice regard for dynamic light ant
shade and obvious feeling for rhythm
in their playing of Massenet's Scene
Pittoresques, "Mefstofele" and from
, "Cavalleria Rusticana," Carmen,
"Traviata," 'Pagliacci" selections, et'
Mr.. Sorrentino and his proved thei
ability to grasp and to convey the dra
matte significance Of such music.
None quite so well as young Italian
catch the feverish unrest, the frettin
! rhythms. the reckless contrasts and tn
! dramatic intensity of such favorit
numbers as Mascagni's surcharged pre-
2 lude For the moment all these thing
were in Mascagni's blood, and for tt
. moment it is in theirs.

Electric Power In Africa.

Attention was recently called in this
column to the proposed use of the cat
aracts of the Nile for the generation Of
electric power At a meeting of the
Institution of Civil Engineers in Lon
don a short time ago. Professor Forbes
reported that he had been consulted
about another similar enterprise In the
dark continent" This was a PROPOSE
ton to employ the Victoria Falls Of
the Zambesi river in supplying electric
power to the gold mines in Matabele-
land and the Transvaal.He thought the
scheme was not SO chimerical as it had
at first appeared to him. In his opin-
ion "the distance over which power
might be prontably transmitted by
electricity was not far short of 1000
miles"
