Madame Sembrich Entertains
 Birmingham Girls at Her Villa

Madame Sembrich, the famous opera singer, entertained recently at her villa in Dresden Miss Lily Drennen and Miss Alice Fallon of Birmingham. Miss Drennen sail ed for America a few days after her visit to Madam Sembrach, and is spending the month of July at her home in Birmingham She will sail for Dresden the latter part of August Miss Drennen is a pupil of Laura Rappoldi Kahrer. one of the most famous teachers in Europe, and whose husband the great Rappodi, is one of the finest vio- linists of the day.
 In Dresden Miss Drennen has charming apartments with Frau -. When Carrie Bridewell went to Dresden she applied for an apartment in the same house with Miss Drennen. Miss Bridewel was accompanied by charming looking little woman, whom she introduced as Frou Somebody and who was quite interested in Miss Bridewell se- curing as delightful apartments as could be found.
 How do you like Madame Sembrick," asked Miss Bridewell of Miss Drennen a few days later, who opened her beautiful brown eyes in amazement, as she replied that she did not know the great singer
 O." said Miss Bridewell, that was Madame Sembrck whom you met the first day that came. She preferred, you know, to remain incognito, and she had my prom ise not to introduce her as Madame Sem brick. She is too well known in Dresden to continue assumed name successfully, but wherever she is able to do so, she trav- els incognito. But she wants to entertain you at her villa, and 1 have an invitation for you to come tomorrow evening"
 Miss Drennen was quite distressed at the consciousness of having ignored the great Sembrick on the occasion of their first meeting, for she was so delighted at seeing Miss Bridewell she had almost forgotten the presence of the Frau, to whom she had been introduced, and whom she did not ex- | pect to see again.
 When Madame Sembrick, in a white dotted Swiss tea gown appeared radiantly beautiful at her villa the following evening, she would only allow laughing reference to the previous meeting, and when later on she sang for her guests there was no longer any formality; for while an incognito could not disguise her charms, Madame Sembrick singing in her own beautiful villa in Dresden had completely charmed the group of American girls, as she had done vast audiences grand opera nights in New York.

THAT BOND ISSUE
 COMES UP TONIGHT
The City Council Will Meet in Adjourned Session to Consider That and Other
 Questions of Importance.

The City Council will hold an adjourned issuing $269 900 of city bonds to take up the unpaid interest coupons which have been accommodating since August, 1895, will be the principal subject of discussion.
 Mayor Drennen and Aldermen Alatman, Kerr and Moore are now in New York for the purpose of selling the bonds, and a re- port is expected from them. It is proposed to make the bonds bear per cent and run l for thirty years, if such can be placed otherwise they will bear AZ or per cent, The contract with the bondholders, which ment in 1895, provided that half the an- nual interest on the bonded debt of the city should be withheld by the city for period of five years, the deferred payments to bear interest ,and ,also that at the expiration of the contract, August IS, 1900, the holders of the unpaid coupons should either receive cash for same or gold bonds bearing per cent and running thirty years.
 It is to avoid the necessity of issuing per cent bonds that the council now has committee in New York endeavoring to dis pose of bonds at a less rate of interest.
 The stockade question will hardly come up at the session tonight. In fact, it is not likely that it will be seriously considered again for some time.
 The proposed contract with the Consoli- dated Electric Ligbt Company, which was accepted at the meeting of the council last week, will probably not be called up until the next regular meeting.

ROMANCE OF "FLY-POSTING"
Some Triumphs of the Genius of the
 Poster

From the London Express.
 What on earth is fy-posting?" one can hear the ordinary man ask when he sees the heading of this article. Certainly the term conveys very little to those not in the know.
 This is the explanation:
 A 'fiy-poster" is a gentleman who salles forth at night with a paste pot, brush, and a bundle of bills He is employed by a theatrical manager, a tradesman, news paper proprietor, or other person who wishes to advertise his wares in striking and novel way.
 Why, then' asks the ordinary man, docs the 'fly-poster haunt the night like a moth or bat?'
 For this reason: The fiy-poster is an ille- gitimate practitioner of his profession. It Is not his business to stick his bills upon recognized places where bills and posters may be found. He is essentially a night bird.
 It is upon places forbidden to advertise ments that it is his business to besmear with them. Upon doorsteps, front doors, statues and public monuments he sticks his wares
 To catch the fy-poster himself is not easy. His life is spent in evading the min lives, his name is hidden quantity; he escapes and is not.
 This much being explained here are some true facts about the volatile, willy and we'll paid f1yposter:
 One morning Lord Roseberys butler found pasted under the letter box of the Earls house in Berkley Square a brightly colored placard announcing the forthcom- ing production of penny weekly paper

Sembrick and a charming party of other friends spent a summers day togetiier at a popular rendezvous just out of Dresden. and the day was brought to a close by a gay little evening at the Sembrick villa, which Miss Drennen says is extremely ar tistic and exquisitely furnished, and where the great singer and her family, that in- cludes her husband and two sons, have been spending six weeks of the summer. Madame Sembrick is of medium height, and dresses quite simply. She is a great linguist, but with her family she converses in the Polish tongue. She is of Polish an- cestry. Her mother is quite an American girls ideal of a grande dame.
 Miss Bridewell is a frequent guest at the Sembrick villa. She will remain in Dres- den until the autumn, when she will make her operatic debut in San Francisco. Miss Fallon will remain in Dresden indefinitely She is studying with great success under Orgeni Another Birmingham girl in Dres- den is Miss Annie Roberts, who went abroad year or two ago with her parents, MT. and Mrs. David Roberts. She has been in Dresden all winter and she is to be d pupil of the great Orgeni the coming sea- son.
 Miss Drennen left Dresden somewhat un- expectedly She had worked too steadily, and the physician suggested a visit to France or England. Miss Drennen replied that she preferred the Alabama hills, and she sailed a few days later from Bremen. She was a passenger of one of the iil-fated North German Lloyd liners that was later destroyed by fire at the New York piers.

the performance was financially and pleas- urably success. The players caught tho spirit of the occasion, and the performance was most credtably rendered. Additional to the play, Destiny the pleasure of the performance was increased by the spe- cialties of Frank Hall and Miss May Pfaff. Before the last act MT. Davis intro duced w. E. Jordan, president of the so- ciety for which the benefit was given, who very modestly expressed his appreciation of the public patronage.

 One bright summers morning the keeper of one of our famous London parks, upon going to open the gates, found that the iron railings were stamped for a hundred yards on each side of the gate with pleas ing adjuration in white to buy '-s choc- olate,' and no one else's.
 In this case the policeman with his in- dia rubber shoes" was no match for the fly poster with his india rubber stamp. But 1t is in theatrical circles that the ingenious fly poster earns his richest rewards and achieves his most striking triumphs A year or two ago certain company whose name, for obvious reasons, cannot be men, toned here, was on tour in the provinces. At the time the manager was certain genlal soul not unknown in journalism, and well liked also, in the" profession. lie engaged the king of fly posters to ac- company him on his travels. This gentle man was marvellous in his resources and rapid in his actions. His two greatest ef- forts are still preserved in the annals of fly posting
 At the time Plymouth, the Queen of the West, had just provided itself with a town clock gorgeous erection, which was the Joy and pride of the townspeople.
 Strangers were brought to see it. the vest was agitated; the garrison itself was gay.
 The company came to Plymouth, and the hy-poster saw his great, his memorable chance. Late one stormy night, when the wind howled over the Sound and Hung a sonorous voice from Drake's Island to Rame Head, the pastepot and the bills of the play were carried to the square. A ladder was in waiting, the policeman on his beat was watched out of sight, and the deed was done.
 Plymouth was excited next morning, and the theater was full the next night
 But enterprise itself can overreach its own endeavor. The hy-poster, having less taste than eagerness "came a cropper'' in Exeter city.
 He came one morning to the Genial Soul who tells the anecdote with an air of pride not unmingled with apprehension.
 Drive round by the cathedral, sir" said he, "and fink you'll SC a bit of orl right!'
 This the Genial Soul straightway did To To his horror he saw that the very doors and gate posts of that august building were covered with advertisements of his per- formance
 An apology was at once printed and cir culated, but the theater was empty all the week.
