MISS FLORENCE HERE.
New Songs For Her and
Sembrich-Another Big
Ticket Sale.

The sale of single festival concert
tickets began at Steinert's, yesterday
morning, with a rush, and kept it up
all cay AT the close of business the
receipts amounted to about $1,000, which
establishes another new record in fes-
tival sales. Still, there are good seats
left" Thursday evening is the favorite,
as usual, but Friday evening, when
Faust" is to be given, is running
good second. If popular interest and
preparation count for anything, this
should be the banner festival
Miss Evangeline Florence ran up
from Boston yesterday to see President
Bent and arrange for the inevitable
cuts in the soprano part of The Crea-
ton" 1t turned out that the English
do this music somewhat differently
from Americans in the matter of cuts.
Miss Florence is enthusiastic over the
festival, and speaks in high terms of
the reputation of the institution abroad
During the day and evening she was
the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur M.
Stone at their house, $50 Main street
In addition to Liza Lehmann's En-
dymion" aria on Thursday afternoon,
Miss Florence will sing a waltz song.
All, che assorta," which used to be
special laNoflte with Garcia, for Whom
it was written. To all intents and pur-
poses, this is novelty, for it has nor
been sung recently.
Nine. Sembrich is also set down for
an extra number on Friday afternoon.
Besides "Ah, fors lui," she will sing
the Strauss waltz, "Fruhlingstimnen
Voices of SPRING., for which words
have been written by Richard Genea
1t is full of bird notes, and gives fine
opportunity for exquisite vocalism.
The festival chorus rehearsed in Me
chanics hall last evening, and Will sing
there again on Friday evening, thus
gaining extra opportunities for the
members to familiarize themselves with
the place Never before have they
worked with such good spirit upon
Faust" which is by all odds the most
difficult music they are to sing this
year. They have acquired many fne
points that never have been attempted
here

Do not get scared if you should hap
pen to see this sight on the street at
any time, 1t is only a poor policeman
trying to get to his signal box on time
to ring in a duty call, and if they never
hustled before, they will have to hustle
now. Chief of Police James NJ. Dren-
nan has carefully looked the city over,
and had the boxes placed so that it
would keep a policeman busy all the
time walking between them.
The good, old days of old. when there
were no police signals, have passed,
and now guardians of the peace will no
longer wear out their coats between

the shoulders, leaning against build
lngs. In several cases, the officers COM
plain that it is next to impossible for
them to get around to the boxes, and
are thinking, on account of the orders
they received, whether they would ring
in duty call or chase a murderer first.
The cops" are also thinking of the
cold days and big snow storms ahead,
and when the mercury is chasing
around the zero mark, how nice it will
be to be pulling out their watches all
the time. A wrist watch for every
member Of the department has been
suggested, but the genial chief of po-
lice only smiled when he heard the sug-
gestion, and there it will rest.
