give only two concerts in Manhattan and
one in BROOKLYN. The Manhattan con-
certs will be given at the Waldorf-As-
toria and at the Metropolitan opera
house on October 20 and q respectively
The programme to be played at the
Academy will include some of the we'll
known Strauss compositions which, it is
said, this orchestra renders in a style
peculiarly its own and as the great COM
poser intended they should be interpreted
The programme, too, will enable the
Strauss orchestra to exhibit some of the
musical versa tility which has been at
tributed to it, for the Academy concert
will include selections from the works of
Rubenstein, Wagner, Ambrose Thomas,
Reinecke and Of the conductor himself
There will be a novelty introduced In
the shape of new waltz, composed by
Herr Strauss, and entitled welcome to
America" Altogether, the concert at
the Academy on the 22d is expected to
be one of the great musical events of the
season.

Opera in English at the Metropolitan
opera houses in New York seems to he of
doubtful success. The difficulty of find
ing singers Of first rank who have been
trained In English appears not to have
been overcome. The only artist In the
Savage-Grau company that has been re-
ceiyed with anything approaching enthu-
siasm on the part of the critics and re
viewers is Clarence Whitehill, g. new
conner, whose inpersonation of ''Mephs-
topheles' in Faust was delightful sur.
prise. Many Of the ladies and gentlemen
heard in the Castle Square productions
here last winter are members of this new
company. Much was expected of Joseph
Sheehan, the tenor, whose popularity
with Castle Square audiences, not onry
here, but in Chicago and New oYrk, was
exceptional; but he was distinct disap--
pointment in the larger house. The
critics were unanimous in declaring hiS

IL would be an excellent thing for the children of Arizuna if the next legislature were to revise the present school laws, and do it thor. ely from beginning to end. The present laws were good for the past years, but they are now found in- adequate to meet the demands ot the present. Tney were useful, but their usefulness is largely gone with the old conditions fer which they were enacted.
