One of the absurd allegations brought against
his former native land by William Waldorf Astor
is that the people over here think that only by
a miracle approaching the impossible can rich

So far all efforts to get the American
Liner Paris of the rocks near Falmouth,
England, have proved unavailing. and fears
breast the ocean wave. This calamity
would be a matter of deep regret beyond
the borders of the United States. As one
of the two fine vessels, the Harvard and
Yale, which did good service in the late
war with Spain, she is most pleasantly re-
membered by all patriotic Americans. So
few ocean steamships of the merchant
class carry the flag of the Great Republic,
thanks to our navigation laws, that it is
sad thing to have one of them perish
in its pride"

The Princeton students having mobbed circus

thought they could not well do less than hold
up an ice man and destroy his wagon. Higher edu-

A prominent characteristic of the new
school of operate composition is the good
quality of the music, notwithstanding a
tendency to suit the popular taste. 1t is
because of this fact that the double bill
of "Cavalleria Rusticana" and II Pagli-
acci" will never fail to please the treas
urer of theater Furthermore the COM
posers of this modern class of composition
full melodies that fairly good singer who
had any schooling at all must needs be
successful with their execution, provided
that he combine with a good voice a
knowledge of dramatic defamation. In
both the above mentioned operas human
passion is exemplfed, and not unless a
vocalist is able to infuse the temperament
of the italian into the arias can he expect
to be successful
The performance of "Pagliacci' must be
ranged among the very best ever wit
messed in this city. The sensation of the
evening was Barron Berthalds Canio.
Thus far last nights work was the best
Berthald has done this season. The Tonic
of Mertens was also received with many
signs of appreciation, which were merited
in every respect. Anna LIGHTER sang ad-
mirably and received her share of the
ovation Another surprise was Mr.. Zani,
who sang Tonic as it has been rarely sung
here before. The orchestra and Max
Hirschfeld must not be omitted when the
various shares of compliments are dis
tributed, for their work was beyond re-
proach
This evening the double bill will be re-
peated, with the following cast: Avedano,
Salassa, Wanrell, Fornari, Schuster, Zani,
