Sembrich, the Prima Donna, In the Cast of the Latter Opera-Had To Put Up Guarantee
 of $5,ooo.

The Grau Opera Company will appe,<r at the Auditorium on the night of We'd nesday, October 2s This date was finally decided upon last Saturday when Messss. Boyies and Edwards the new 1essees and managers of the Auditorium called upon Grau's r. -esentative in New York for the purpose of discussing the de- tails of this engagement.
 Both MT. Boyle and MT. Edwards arrived in Birmingham yesterday. The following statement was given to the press:
 gro make assurance doubly sure the managers while in New York arranged through their bank a guarantee of $5000 for the opera company, which was in effect to put up the amount required to bring this attraction to Birmingham.
 '"The books for ticket subscription will be opened at the Auditorium on August 15. Subscribers will have choice of seats. As previously announced the price for the best seats in the orchestra and dress cir ele will be S4, which is $1 less than win be charged in Atlanta, Nashville and New Orleans. Other seats will be s3, Gall lery prices will be $2 and $1
 To Select the Opera.
 The opera to be presented here will be either Faust or Lohengrin. This ques- ton will be decided and proper announce ment made before the subscription books are opened
 If Faust be the opera the cast will in- clude sembrich, Homer, De Reske or Piancon, Campanari and Marcm or Dip pei. For Lohengrin two casts have been submitted. One includes Gadski or Flames, Schumann-H Heink, De Reske, Bis pham, Blass and Dipple. The other, Flames, schumann-Heink, Bispham, De Reske, Muhlmann and Dipple. r
 For Faust with Sembrich as the prfrna donna (Margarierte) the management will have to pay Grau $5750-s75o above the guarantee and for Lohengrin without senrbrich but with Gadski or Flames. s550s. -esf As
 The company carries two hundred peo- pie. The chorus will number between . hundred and thirty and hundred and forty and the orchestra will number nearly fifty. tftt
 Expect Big Houses.
 'we expect a six thousand or sixtysfive hundred dollar house." said Mr. Edwards. '~We are only aiming to come out without a. loss and 1t will take over six thousand dollars to do that; but Birmingham being a musical and an amusement loving city we feel perfectly safe. But for the great seating capacity of the Auditorium we would have to charge more for tickets, As 1t is opera goers surely cannot com plain of the prices we have announced"
 Mfr. Edwards said further that the man. asement would be glad to have an express sion from the Birmingham people as to which of the two operas would take the better here, or in other words which they preferred. He was enclined to think that on account of Sembrick being in the cast Faust would be in more demand than Lohengrin. But he said all he wished in the matter was for those who were going A.. t.,,xx aa,fc to houa th air ohaira

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
1 was somewhat surprised when read
an editorial in the Journal of Jan. IA. max
ing unjust charges against the State
Poard of Health. I am sure that any
one who understands the motives Of the
State Board of Health could not criticise
or bring unjust charges against them,
for its members are honest. upright ci,f-
zens whose self-sacrifce and labor in
the cause of public health show them to
be worthy of trust and confidence. They
certainly are quite as likely to desire the
economical and right administration Of
State affairs as any newspaper, and are
as worthy TO be trusted. When it is consid-
cred that the members of the State Board
Of Health work without pay and ask for
none, and make considerable self -sacri-
fee 10 serve the State, these insinuatiOnS
that were made seem all the more unjust.
This State should have laboratory Of
hygiene with which TO enforce the pure
food and drug law; to make sanitary iE-
vestigations to further the health and haI-
plness of the public; to attend to stream
pollution, and save the stream and also
the valuable industries which pollute the
streams. All of the states bounding In
diana have State laboratories of hygiene,
as have all the progressive States. In this
respect we are at the tail of the process
sion. The suggestion of the Journal that
the laboratories OF GuTuue University De
used. is crude and impracticable. The Pur-
cue laboratories are teaching laboratories,
fun of students every hour of the day.
Teaching laboratories are equipped for
teaching and are not disable for research
work. The professors have all their time en-
gagged in teaching. How could they give any
time or thought to other work? The Pur-
Que management would oppose any effort
to saddle upon the school anything but
teaching. Indiana will do well to follow
the experience of other States in this mat
ter. and not try experiments suggested by
newspapers. The members of the State
Board of Health are practical SCIENTISTS
l know IL. and the medical profession, to a
man. recognizes 1t; then why should they,
honest, exemplary citizens as they are
not be able TO determine what is the best
for our State? The people of this State
have a right TO demand that those who
furnish them their food and drugs shall
not impose upon them. To demonstrate the
satisfaction existing. take the medical pro-
fession in this State; you do not hear OF a
complaint against the State Board of
Health. while in some States IL is COM
mon thing. BROSE 8. HORNE, NJ. D.,

John f. MiIler's Success.

The current issue of the Railroad Ga
zette has this to say of John +. Miller,
late general superintendent of the Pam
handle:
THE crcwning achievement, perhaps, Of
Mr.. Miller's career was his work in re-
building eleven miles of track of the Penn
sylvania Railroad that were completely
washed out by the Johnstown flood The
officers of the Pennsylvania lines west OF
Pittsburg were accustomed TO wash-outs
and emergency work. and this devastated
tract being on the western slope of the
mountains, its repair naturally fell TO the
officers of the lines west of Pittsburg. who
were in position 20 reach the ground more
promptly than their colleagues from the
east. The amazing rapidity with which the
Pennsylvania Railroad was restored after
the flood is a matter of history, and 1t is
also a matter Of history that Mr. Miller's
personal energy and direction were pre-
eminent in the restoration. 1t is told of
him that when he initiated the steps toward
replacing a portion of the track so abso-
lutely annihilated, even the line of the
right-ofway was obliterated, one OF the
engineers wished the work deferred until
the bounds of the right-of-way could be
ascertained from Philadelphia. Mr.. Miller
replied, oh, let's get the track built first.
and he built it, During the strike of 1894
at Chicago Mr.. Miler's influence with his
men contributed in a large degree to quell-
ing disorder and the resumption of traffic
and his personal efforts are credited with
averting an incipient strike at Cincinnati i'm
mediately afterward. No small part of Mr.
Miller's influence with his men has been
due to his fine tact and to the real kind
ness of his nature. He is good whip, and
has said that the way to get the best re-
suits out of men is like getting speed out of
horses-that Is, they must be given the rein
when in action. and be made to feel the
responsibility; they must be directed, but
their individuality not stified. This prin-
ciple is one of the elements of his success
during the long career which he has just
ended hap0mQ president

RAILWAY FREIGHT RATES
PUBLISHED TARIFFS MUST HENCE
FORTH BE STRICTLY OBSERVED.
Violation of Instructions VIII BE Fol.
lowed by Dismissal of the Offend
er-General and Personal.

The traffic officials. without exception,
state that their orders are positive that
traffic rates be strictly maintained. The
traffic manager of one of the Indianapolis
systems had his freight representatives
on all parts of the system at his head
quarters on Monday, and stated to them
that he cared not what their competitors
did. he wished them to strictly adhere to
the published tariff rates. and If they got
into any trouble by deviating from the in
structions he should send by circular that
they need not look to him to help them out.
that they might as well make up their
minds to hunt some other position. These
instructions are also given the representa-
tives Of the fast freight lines. The more
conservative OF the freight officials seem
now more confident than at any time in
the last ten years that freight rates in all
directions are to be maintained. IT is stated
that at Chicago and Kansas City, where
breaks In rates are usually first made, the
new century opens with unusual features.
In every line of traffic the roads are main
tanning rates. At Chicago and Kansas City
the usual tactics are being resorted to to
create belief that some line is favoring
them in rates, and routes that have car
ried the bulk of packing house products,
grain and other freight, are now being ig
nored. turning the business over TO some
one of the competitors of the lines that
have been favored In the past. Shippers
who have been shipping heavily over the
Chicago e. Great Western, the Santa Fe,
the Chicago & Alton, have now turned
their business to some competing line. but
there seems to be a determination that
there shall be no cutting of the published
tariffs on any class of freight now NOV
ing; but the routings of the business are
closely watched by the freight men in the
hope that some sign OF rate decentralization
may manifest itself. The sanguine reader
must not conclude from the foregoing
truthful statement of existing conditions
that the millennium has dawned, but the
may regard 1t as a promising augury.
