SEMBRIcH AT REHEARSAL
Few of Those Who Remained in the
Hall Were Lucky Enough to Hear Her.

Yesterdays rehearsal drew a large
audience, both floor and balconies be-
ing well filed. Miss Florence went over
her solos, 'Endymion" and the Venzano
waltz, and encountered the inevitable
difficulties with the orchestral score.
The remainder of the time was given
UP to The Lily Nymph" and King
Trojan" all the soloists being on hand
to take their parts. The singers often
sang with nearly full voice, and the
satisfaction of the audience was pro-
portionally full.
After this routine was ended, orches-
ira, soloists and conductors left the
hail. and the harp put on its mackin-
tosh. Most of the audience took the
hint and departed, save few knowing
ones who had taken quite a different
hint. 1t was whispered that Sembrich
was going to rehearse, and the mere
suggestion was sufficient to keep two
hundred people in the hall. This was
not what madame came out for to see,
and soon an emissary was making the
circuit of the hall, looking very deter
mined and saying with an ominous
shake of the head that she would not
sing a note so long as a person re-
manned in the hall BY persuasion and
intimidation the hall was cleared of all
save the soloists who had been rehear-
sing, the officers of the association and
a dozen others who had eluded the
emiSsary.
Then Nine. sembrich appeared. and
there was a deferential buzz of APP
plause. Mr.. Kneisel took up the stick
and the orchestra started in with
"Casta diva" 1t may be comforting to
those who went away and about their
business to know that they did not miss
any sensational exhibition. For the
most part Madame sang very. very
softly, and the orchestra was con-
tinually tripped up by some inaccuracy
in the manuscript copy of the accom-
paniment. The necessary corrections
made Mr.. Kneisel work much harder
than the soloist. "Ah fors' lui'' is
said to have gone more smoothly, but
the great singer did not often exert
herself to fill the building with her
song as she might Very few prime
dome of the first rank like to take their
singing lessons in public.

This period is known in Portugese bis
tory as the 'Sixty Years OF Captivity"
When Portugal finally gained Der in
dependence she was much weakene d,
and WAS more interested III setting the
boundaries north and south of her val
liable South American colonies; so the
Philippines remained with Spain
through laches rather than by right.
Had Portugal retained them it is more

Roman Forum Excavations.

The explorations now being carried
on in the Forum have aroused unusual
interest among the Italian public. which
is beginning to shake off it's lethargys
and to take an interest in The remnants
OF its past history. AT every new stone
that comes to light there is a rush to
the Forum to see what it may contrib
ute to the knowledge of the topography
and history of ancient Rome. The most
recent discovery is one OF the frag-
ments of large inscription at the
foot of the arch OF Septimus Severus.
The inscription is cut in the dark Ro-
man stone known as trayertino, and
dates from the end of the republic. The
inscription seems to have been cut on
two columns, and to have covered at
least two large blocks of stone. OF one
column only few letters remain, too
Little to give any certain indication of
the meaning, but it Is hoped that be-
lore long further excavations will lead
to the discovery of other fragments
The inscription on the other column is
more complete, though not sufficiently
so to enable archaeologists to conclude
anything certain concerning its real
character. 1T indicates measures of
length and breadth, and refers to build
lngs and spots the names Of which are
unfortunately on the missing frag-
mens 1t seems that the inscription
REFERS to temple Of Jupiter or of Her

Johann Orth's Shin.

The assumption that Herr Johann
Ortiz (the Archduke Johann Salvator)
might be still living, since his ship, the
Caesarea, was offered for sale at Ham
burg, seems to be quite devoid of justi-
fication. The vessel in question did,
indeed, belong to Captain Ortiz. lie
bought it in 1889, while it was on its
way home. but the return voyage be-
ing protracted he grew impatient, and
acquired another vessel, the Santa
Margherita, on board of which he sailed
from Dunkirk for the River Plate early
in 1880. Going around the Horn in
ballast to fetch a cargo of saltpetre
from the Peruvian coast, the ship and
her owner disappeared, and were never
heard of again. The Caesarea was re-
sold by the Archduke's agent to Ger
man firm, and oddly enough is now ON
its way to Hamburg after performing
exactly the same journey as that which
proved fatal to- Captain Orth.

Cost of Living in Porto Rico.

Everything in Porto Rico is moder-
ately high-priced, even with the ex-
change of silver in Americas favor,
says William Dinwiddie in his special
correspondence to "Harper's Weekly"
from that island. The American army
demands more and buys more than did
the Spanish army, and, as a result,
prices have arisen, controlled to some
extent also by the fact that the Porto
Ricans have discovered that Americans
are more prodigal with their means,
and are willing to pay higher prices.

and also at the Hotel Francois in Ponce

these two cities-the daily rate, includ-
ing twelve-o'cloclx breakfast, six
o'clock dinner, and sleeping-room. is
3d. Coffee eggs, and bread in the
cafe in the early morning are called
an extra, which brings the daily bill up
to S425 Spanish, or, at the prevailing
rate of exchange, about 500 American,
per diem. The service one receives in
return for this would. in the United
States, be considered high-priced at
$50. 1t will be found difficult to live
under $50 Spanish per month anywhere
on the island, whether hotels or private
boarding houses are patronized.
