EMMA NEVADA COMING.

Nine. Emma Nevada the American
prima donna. whose name will always be
associated with that most difficult OF roles.
Anima in Bellinls LA Somnambula," Is
to visit Houston. She returned to this
country last November after a long stay
on the continent, whore she has always
been justly recognized as the leading exc
ponent OF colotura singing and a supreme
favorite in opera Her recent appearance
in New York was the signal OF a great
outburst of enthusiasm. People who re-
membered her fourteen years before. when
young and charmingly dainty maiden,
she had dazzled New Workers with the
beauty and hrllanoy of her voice, were
most enthusiastic to recognize their form
er Nevada with an added richness ana
beauty in the exquisite voice and not a
single shade OF its former brilllancy and
timbre missing.
After her New York re-entree, Nevada
turned her face westward toward Ahe land
OF tho Pacific which is the land of her
birth. During the winter she has been
singing there, creating, as she did in
New York and the East, the widest en-
thusasm by her wonderful singing, Her
visit 10 Houston will occur Monday night
April 80. She Will be assisted by her own
company.
Nvyadas voice and singing, her method
and appearance in opera have been aptly
described as those Of her predecessor
Adelina Patti, whose place she took. This
IS arcentuated by the fact that nevada
debut at her maiestys theater, in Lon
don, was IN La Somnambula," one OF
PATHS greatest roles, and yet It will pg
remembered that the statue OF Nevada
and not that OF Patti was chosen to adorn
the pedestal or the statue of the cee-
brated composer at Milan,
All singers have many romances N their

as viii be recalled, for Nevada to suffer
humiliation for her patriotism and de-
votion TO America, OF which she was in
tensely proud, a fast she never hesitated
TO assert.
Shortly before the breaking out of the
punish American war. Nevada was sing
ing in Seville. one of the leading cities OF
Spain. So intense was the hatred of every
thing American at that time that the au-
dience aroused to anger by the knowledge
that the prima donna was enc OF the
hated race, that she was Missed all over

State government has not only placed
a heavy burden on the respective de-

WiIkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE spe-

ellis 20 Investigate the bribery charges
made by Councilmen S9ntec and
Wheatley, made its report to councils
last night. Tho charges were made in
connection with an attempt to get an
ordinance through councils granting
a franchise to Scranton electric rail-
way company. Both Sdntee and
Wheatl,y claimed that they were APP
preached by parties who offered them
money for their votes. The committee
says the charges made are not sub
stantIated, and the two counclmen are
censurcd for bringing disgrace upon
the city. Councilman Thomas Is CEN
surod for playing the part Of an actor.
While the ordinance was pending In
council he would pull out big wad Of
money and show it to certain council
men. giving them to understand that
he had been "se6u." Upon beins OK
amined under oath Thomas testified
that he was only jollying the other fel-
lows, and that he was never offered a
cent for his vote. The committee says
Thomas conduct Is nothing less than
reprehensible, and that 1t warranted his
dismissal from the councilnaRic body.
Henry Scott, the night watchman ut
tho city hall, Is suspended for 60 days
for acting as messenger for certain
parties interested In the passage Of tho
ordinance through councils.
