< ]. r. Fitzgerald of the Fitzgerald Music
oompany writes The Herald as follows:
~In Justice to little Paloma Schramm,
as well as to myself, l. beg to correct,
with your permission, through the col
umns of your paper, misapprehension
on the part Of the press of Los Angeles
and many of the friends of this child
musician. Much anxiety has been shown
by those deeply interested in Paloma s
future. lest her strength be overtaxed
or that she become otherwise artistcaily
mnrred. as a result of the tour upon
which 1 am about to enter with her. l
can readily understand, from humanl-
tartan and artistic point of view, how 1t
is possible for such sympathy and con-
sideration to exist, and I am thankful
that it does; but 1 would like to state
that it is not, and has not been, my pur-
pose to prolong the trip over sixty days,
and that shall studiously avoid book
ing little Paloma for more concerts
weekly than she may be amply able to
give. In going to New York city, 1t is
my intention to remain but very few
weeks. and then return to Los Angeles
with Paioma, where she will resume her
studies with Herr Becker. The child's
parents will accompany her, thus assur-
ing every possible comfort to the little
flower upon whom all Southern Califor-
mia may justly hold claim"

A New Haven, Conn, dispatch of De-
cember 2Sth, says: John Philip Sousa' s
new comic opera, The Bride Elect re-
ceived it's first presentation on any stage
at the Hyperion theater tonight and
scored an instantaneous success. Par
ticularly at the end of the second act,
which closes the march, 'Unchain the
Dogs of War was the audience demon
strative in it's approval. The march, a
typical Sousa one, sung with magnifi-
cent effect by the entire company, was
encored again and again, the entire cast
being called before the curtain and fin
ally Mr. Sousa had to respond with a
short speech. In The Bride Elect Mr..
Sousa makes his bow as librettiSt, and
he has told a novel story in a most in
teresting manner The scene of the
opera is laid on the Island of Capri, in
the bay of Naples and the play relates
the trials, struggles, passions and in
trigues of two petty >potentates. There
are many novel dramatic situations in
the book, and Mr.. Sousa has also pro-
vided lyrics of unusual merit. The
music is of higher order than that of
Eel Captain and the composer preserves
his characteristic swing and dash in all
the numbers"

w. w. Workman, A. A. Hubbard, S. H.
Pattee and Geo. A. Caswell. There is a
perennial charm about lot of jolly
college songs sung by lot of jolly COL
lege boys. They are generally whole
some nonsense and they go with a swing
and an abandon that make their spirit
infectious. The lively, rollicking college
songs are not the only style of music
which the Stanford club renders. 1t
rises to a higher plane and sings the
high-class music with a precision and
fine shading which come only from long,
diligent practice. The glee club has
been singing four years and has made an
enviable reputation by the performances
it has given during vacation time in the
coast states. The mandolin club is play
ing its fourth successful season. The
press and musical critics in every sec
tion accord it the warmest praise. The
club needs no introduction in this city.
Society and the theater-going people
have pleasant recollections of the sue
cessful engagement here in 1895, and all
who heard them then will embrace the
opportunity of hearing them again. A
big house will greet the combination.
The engagement will be one of the social
events Oh the season.

New York is apparently suffering from

we will all drop our halos and fly to that

insult, to the transcendent genius of
Ysaye to say that he is playing too often
hereabouts.
"At almost every concert he lunbers
forth and shakes his jovial locks at us.
The critics are growing dyspeptic and
more than half their recent tendency to
berate him for inaccuracy must be due to
a natural reaction against inccssant

The deplorable decadence of criticism
in that portion Of the New York press
which is controlled by commercial con-
siderations, is demonstrated by the fol-
lowing from that brilliant censor, "The
Criterion"
Musical criticism as it is managed in
New York. is even more pathetic than
dramatic criticism. When even the
trashiest farce by an American play
wright is performed, it is sure of space
MT least. The most ambitious musical
work is practically sure OF complete
neglect Last week the representative
organization of American musicians the
Manuscript society, gave an important

\ King Killed by a Reef Bone.

Sir Walter Besant in the Pail Mall
Magazine: The king who died in this
house was that young Dane who APP
pears to have been an incarnation of
the ideal Danish brutality. He dragged
his brothers body out of its grave and
flung it into the Thames; he massa-
cred the people of Worcester and raw
aged the shire, and he did these brave
deeds and many others all in two short
years. Then he went to his own place.
His departure was both fitting and dra-
matte. For one so young it showed
with what a yearning and madness he
had been drinking. He went across
the river-there was, | repeat, no 9th
Ell house in Lambeth except this, so
that it must have been hereto attend
the wedding of his standard bearer,
Tostig the Proud, with Coda, daughter
Of the Thane Osgood Clapa, whose
name survives in his former estate of
Clapham. A Danish wedding was al
ways an occasion for hard drinking,
while the MINISTRIES played and sang
and the mummers tumbled. When
men were we'll drunken the pleasing
sport Of bone throwing began; they
threw tie bones at each other. The
fun Of the game consisted in the acct
dent of a man not being able TO dodge
the bone which struck him, and prob
ably killed him. Archbishop Alphegc
was thus killed. The soldiers had no
special desire TO kill the old man; why
couldn't he enter into the spirit Of the
game and dodge the bones? As he did
not, Of course, he was hit, and as the
bone was a big and heavy bone, hurled
by a powerful hand, Of course it split
open his skull. One may be permitted
to think that perhaps King Hardacnut,
who is said to have fallen down SUD.
denly when he ''stood up TO drink"
did actually intercept a big beef bone
which knocked him down, and as he
remained comatose until he died, the
proud Tostig, unwilling to have 1t said
that even in sport his king had been
killed at his wedding, gave out that
the king fell down in a tit. This, how
ever, is speculation.

Fruit Juice Shoe Polish.

Baltimore American: Orange juice Is one
of the best dressings for black shoes or
boots, Take a slice or quarter OF an
orange and rub 1t on the shoe or boot;
then, when dry, brush with a soft brush
until the shoe shines like n looking glass.
This Is an English recipe. Another fruit
dressing is for tan shoes, the inside Of n

shoe, thoroughly, wipe off carefully with n
soft cloth briskly, Patent leather shoes
should not be polished with backing.
These are the hardest kind OF shoes e

cold weather without heating, or they will
crack as soon as exposed to the cold air.
