Charming Opera Sung at the Carroli:Club
Auditorium.


The charming opera of Alvin Gray
was sung for the first time in this city
at the Carroll Club Auditorium last
night in the presence of a cultured and
critical audience, which was very lib-
eral in the bestowal of appreciative ap-
plause upon the performers. The story
OF the opera is very interesting, the
scenes being laid in New England. The
music is tuneful and catchy.
The opera was sung under the direc-
ton of Prof. Sebastian Rafferty,, leader
of the choir of ST. Joseph's Cathedral
and the proceeds are for the Cathedral
music fund. 1t was the most preten-
tiouS musical entertainment yet given
by the choir of the Cathedral, and it's
success reflects great credit upon Prof
Rafferty, and all who participated. The
members of the cast all acquitted them
selves very capably, both in their sing
ing and action, and solos and choruse,
were both heartily encored.
The opera Of Alvin Gray will be re-
peated tonight, and these who have
not seen and heard it should not lose
the opportunity to witness the final
performance. There has been a heavy
advance sale of reserved seats.

GERMANS TO WITHDRAW.

BERLIN, September 1.-THE private agi-
tation- against the exposition is beginning
to find vigorous expression. The Vossische
Zeitung says this evening that number of
the largest German firms have pledged
themselves to withdraw.
The Berliner Tageblatt says the Berlin
council at it's next session will consider a
special motion to withdraw the Berlin
municipal exhibit.
On the other hand, the correspondent of
the Associated Press learns on the highest
authority that the German government
considers the Dreyfus case now under all
the conditions, done with and does not in
tend to relinquish official representation at
the exposition.
The official responsible for this assurance
adds that it should be borne in mind that,
despite the Dreyfus case, the official rela-
tons between the two governments had
steadily improved during recent years.

ally those in responsible positions whose
opinion would be valuable are reluctant to
express adverse comment because of the
national aspect of the case. The feeling is
general, however. in favor of Dreyfus and
strong sentiment has developed against
the injustice which. according TO the pre-
vailing belief, he has been subjected to.
Some of the officials express fear that this
sentiment Will have a serious effect on the
Franco-American treaty when it comes be-
fore the Senate, as that instrument has not
proved very popular and the present feel
ing may turn the tide against it.
