Suicides in Paris

Suicides are still increasing owing to
the gloomy views which so many French
people continue to take of life NJ. Mons.
81 years old. a dramatic author of minor
reputation, and formerly manager of an
American theatrical agency, was found
dead in his rooms at Montmartre one
day last week. His friend, Mademoiselle
de Bergue, lady artist, who lived with
him as his wife, had also expired. Ac-
cording to the usual custom, they had
suffocated themselves by charcoal
fumes. Mons recently fell ill, and he
was told by the doctor that an operation
would be necessary. Rather than sub
init to the scalpel he preferred to COM
init suicide, and Mademoiselle de Bergue,
unwilling to face dismal and lonely fu-
ture. followed his example. In another
part of Paris two younger people, Louis
Pasquier and Marie Ramona were dis
covered last night to have had recourse
to the inevitable charcoal. They wanted
to marry, but their parents objected for
practical reasons, so they determined to
go to the undiscovered country together
The pair left the customary letters for
their friends and the police, the girl
merely writing: Il follow Louis to the
tomb" In another instance a man,
crossed in love, Tilted by the woman
whom he adored, and on whom he had
lavished his money jumped over the
high brick viaduct in the Buttes-C -Chau-
mout, and was promptly killed.-Pars

is possible for such sympathy and con-
sideration to exist, and I am thankful
that it does; but 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

nonpariel. The Sun, Press, World and

Advertiser gave 1t few sticks of proper
treatment. The Times alone gave the

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 its 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 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 a higher order than that of
'El Captain and the composer preserves
his characteristic swing and dash in all
the numbers"

Pattee and Geo. A Caswell. There is a
perennial charm about a 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 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 1885, 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 Of the season.

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 moro 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
concert. Not even the fact that SeidlI

critics against the American composer
