Cl0SE OF THE
oPEPa SEASoN
BY ASHTON STEVENS.

Melba's is an unforgettable lesson in
the possibilities of the human voice.
The enthusiasm was in proportion with
the crowd and the occasion yesterday
afternoon, and after a prolonged ap-
plause Melba sang song from
Martha"
There is little else to tell, except that
Ceppi was in the pink of voice and
sang a splendid Edgardo and that the
good old sextet went twice, IS usual.
The "Pagliacci" performance was good,
but not as good as before. Pandolf1ni
had his own part of Canio and acquit
ted himself with honor. BE Vries had
his own part of Silvio, but sickness
was still thick in his voice. Bensaude
again furnished an admirable prologue.
Chalia's Media was impressively dra-
matte. but her singing was inclined to
be harsh and stringy. This was Chalia S
second appearance during the season.
I think she suffered from underworld.
All in all the season was a great sue
cess. Mr.. Ellis will go on record as
one irnpresario who kept his word, as
well as mortal could, to the last letter
And we did the rest with pomp and
generosity We are sure of him and
he is sure of US. and San Francisco Will
be writ in capitals on his map for fu-
t11re seasons. And now we can pack
m our spectacular clothes and go back
to the old things-the Bostonians, the
TivOli. the Chutes, and Morosce's,
where comic opera will reign or ruin,
commencing next Saturday Light.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF
HENRY C. LATHR0P
WAS RECENTLY OPERATED ON
FOR DROPSY.
Mrs. Stanford, the Sister of the Pa
tient, a Close Attendant in the
Sick Chamber.

Henry c. Lathrop, the brother of Mrs
Leland Stanford, is very i'll at the Stan
ford residence, corner of California and
Powell streets, with small possibility of
recovery. For years he has been suf-
ferer from dropsy, and since his return
from Washington, on the 18th inst, has
been confined to his bed. So serious has
been the condition of the patient that
Mrs. Stanford has been in constant at
tendance in the sick chamber.
A surgical operation was performed
yesterday by DR.. r. H. Curtis the family
physician, and at late hour last night
Mr.. Lathrop was resting easier. Mrs.
Stanford stated that she believed the
patient would rally as the tapping opera
ton appeared to give him considerable re-
lief. DR.. Curtis made several visits dur
ing the evening and expressed himself a.
hopeful for the best results.
Mr.. Lathrop is unmarried and has made
his home at the family mansion for a
number of years.

Within recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

the minds Of managers. Once again
we can pose opulently as the impre-

The farewell performance Of yester-
day afternoon, which consisted of the
double bill of Lucia" and "Pagliacci, ="
was notable for a crowd nearly as large,
but better policed, than that of last
Monday night, and for the remarkable
singing of Melba in the title part of
Donizetti's masterpiece. Almost any
six singers can make a success of the
Lucia" sextet, which sings itself, so to
speak; but only a wonderful soprano
can lift the part Of Lucy, in fact the
whole opera, to success at this time of
day. Mr. Grau has elected to exclude
this, as we'll as other equally undrama-
tic works, from his future repertories;
and 1t is safe to say that Melba is per-
haps the only active singer of the day
who can make the work acceptable to
a representative American audience.

SURPRISING qualities of her voice and

heard Melba sing on several other occa-

not real, it might illustrate any phase
of mind and mood better than it does
those of poor, demented Lucy; but it
runs the gamut Of birdie vocalization
and spells ridicule for the seeond-rate
singer who attempts its difficulties. In
this capricious bit of Donizetti Melba
reaches the superlative Of her tone and
technique. She shames the flute that
accompanies her. This mad song Of
