will sing in Elijah on Tuesday even
ing and in the miscellaneous concert on
Wednesday evening, is native of Gal
weston, Texas, but went abroad at an
early age to study at the Leipzig con-
servatory, from which she graduated

who, though a native of Germany, is a
firm adherent of the pure italian method
of singing, and under his instruction

art.

many times in public, among others the
contralto parts in the Verdi Requiem,
Missa Solemnis, 9th Symphony, Beethoven
and the Messiah and Elijah, in company
with such artists as Vogl, Gura, Eur
Neuhleu, V. Sicherer, and under the
batons of Reinieke and Moszkowslxi-

musicians in the city, such as Seidl,
Frank and Walter Damrosch, Alexander
Lambert and Mr.. Krehbiel-all of whom
have held out the strongest encourage
ment to her as to her occupying a lead
ing position among the concert singers
of the metropolis.

linemen who went out Sunday reported
that the railroad bridges were all wash
ed away and that there was not Suffi-
Gent material in Galveston to rebuild
the telegraph lines. The calves under
the channel are gone. The lines will
have to be built to the city from the
mainland.
Strenuous efforts were made on Sun
day to repair the damage to the Mexican
calve, but on account of the sea being
high it was impossible to pick up the
lost end of the calVe
Thousands of kilograms were filed at
the telegraph offices during the day with
the expectation that they would be sent
to Houston for transmission but the
captain of the only small tug available
would not venture on the trip with a
new crew, his engineer and fireman hav-
ing been lost, while tugs which might be
hired were too deep draught to go up the
bayou.

Denver, Sept. 11.-For the first time in
its history Pixies Peak was yesterday as
cended by an automobile, and John Bris-

Although he did not go clear to the top,
yet he made an assent of II, 900 feet, the
highest that an automobile has Travelled
anywhere in the world. His only COM
pany in the ascent and the descent was
his son Justus, who has accompanied
him on the western trip.
1.-The road was the worst ever saw
said Mr.. Walker today, land got worse
and worse as we proceeded When 1000
feet was made we fell in with tourists,
who told us 1t was much worse beyond
and advised US to turn back, which
proceeded to do. Going back, however,
was like coming down a toboggan chute,
and we made the distance in a quarter
less time. It was fearfully rapid work .
