STORY OF COL. MAPLESON.
How the Famous Impresario Carried
q Prfma Donna In His Arms.

How the Famous Impresario Carried
a Prima Donna In His Arms.
That al impresario's lot is not a
happy one the m~isadventure in this
story gives abundant evidence. The
late Colonel J. H. Mapleson, the famous
operate impresario, related that the
first performance Of "Lohengrin" in
New York city gave him great deal of
fatiguing work to do, and it was nearly
Z on the opening night when he sat
down to dinner.
He a scarcely begun when he was
summoned to the Everett House, where
the prima donna, Nine. Gerster, was
stopping, says the New-York Journal.
He found her insensible from the result
of taking chloroform for a toothache.
The manager was in despair. He flung
open all the windows and by the aid Of
soda water and sal volatile succeeded in
bringing the singer to a state of semi
consciousness. 1t was then 7:15, II
ruin was staring him in the face. Be-
fore the astonished family he flung a
shawl about Nine. Gerster and carried
her bodily (she was no lightweight to
the carriage. Borne into her room she
swooned over her dressing table.
While efforts were being made to
bring her to. Mr.. Mapleson directed the
stage h~airdresser to fix her hair. 1t
was twenty minutes Of 8 when Ardit1
and the call boy entered the room. and
both looked upon the case as hopeless.
But the orchestra began to play, and
Nine. Gerster was finally stood up On
her feet in a half unconscious condition.
How an I sing when my hair is not
fxed?" she murmured in a dazed way.
She was Informed that this had been
done While she was in the gwoon. Mr..
Mapleson led her toward the entrance,
| and, half supported by her attendants,
h made her appearance on the stage.
Colonel J.. II. Mapleson's optimism,
his ignorance of the value of money,
his expressive smile, his portly pres
cry other country where opera lovers
icongregate.
AS far back as 1875 Colonel Maple
son led operate enterprises here. He
introduced to the United States many
singers whose fame was and is world
wide. In his long career he directed no
fewer-than $500 operate performances
and 3,7OO concerts. He was fond Of
telling how, in 1860, he first gave AIDE
lima Patti an engagement. She agreed
then TO appear four nights without pay,
the understanding being that if he ap-
proved her she should have a regular
engagement.
after those foul nights" Colonel
Mapleson would say, II agreed to give
her 5000 a week, and she had to sing
six nights a week. twenty-five years
later I was paying her $4,000 a night"

DINNER AT 500 A PLATE.

artificial Pine Forest at DelmonfcoAS
Scene of a Choice Feast.
+ The red room of Delmonico's trans
formed into a miniature bower IN a
pine forest was a few nights ago b
scene Of one of the most remarkable
dinners in the history of that mo
hosiery, says the New York Evening
World.
The name cards for each of the ten
persons who attended were painted on
oak leaves and the menus on squares Of
white birch park about ten by "
inches in size. The wines were all Of
the rarest and most expensive vintages,
and the eatables correspondent. The cost
of the dinner amounted to not less than
800 for each of the covers laid, n
the bill was footed by Mr.. George Eeye
of New York.
For the transformation of the room
hundreds of pine boughs had been
brought from the woods, and these
were so adjusted Upon the walls, ceiling
and floor of the apartment as to COM
pletely conceal the original interior. In
visible wires were strung through them
and connected with hundreds Of small
incandescent light globes which peeped
out from the green boughs on walls and
ceiling. Each globe was shaped like an
orchid and shone with a pale green
light which lent reality to the sem
hlance to the rare woodland flower.
Over the crash that covered the floor
had been strewn pine boughs, tangles
of thick woodland, moss and bushels Of
autumn leaves in all their rich tints Of
scarlet, yellow n gray. A round table
eight feet in diameter made of unfin-
fshed oak rose from the litter of moss
and leaves, and it's stout legs We're COM
pletely covered with green and gray
moss.
Ranged around the table were the ten
chairs, each Of which. especially built
for this occasion, was made Of black
birch boughs fashioned in varied rus
tic designs N with the bark left on
the surface. The center Of, the table
was a III of m~aidenhair fern and a
quantity of moss and oak leaves. Twen-
ty OF thirty small electric globes were
arranged in the midst Of these, and in
front Of each cover was a cluster of
thirty of the rarest of natural green
orchids that the florists Of New York
could provide.
Mr.. Heye's guests comprised DR.. and
Mrs. Gannt, Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison,
Mr.. and Mrs. Battles, Mr.. Hart, Mrs.
Heye and Mr.. Joseph.

A Bfsexua1 Pronoun.

A correspondent comes forward to
ill a few of the gaps in the English
language, says the London Chronicle.
He notes the a~wkwardness caused by
The lack Of a bisexual pronoun to cover
"him'' and cher and the rest. Web,
The word "Eurasian," made up Of Eu-
o p and Asia, gives the clew. Why
not commingle "he'' and .'she" and
make "heesh?' And thinner" is the OBJ
Rious resultant of "him' and "her,"
while ''his'' and cher" precipitate into
Ashizzer." What do you think of this
sentence, which illustrates the new
English: "a writer is annoyed when
heesh finds hizzer work treated as pub
lie property, rather than hizEers, and
instead of being credited to thinner is
pirated by papers by which heesh is
MOI remunerated."

WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.
A Short Session Held Monday kiGht-councll
man Reed To Hold Over.

The city council held a short session
Monday night there being but little
business to transact. Councilmen Dom
aid, Weed, Reed, Hall and Sinclair were
the only ones present.
A petition signed by large number
of the citizens Of the third ward asking
that the resignation of Councilman Reed
be reconsidered was presented. The cit
liens in that ward thought that as he
had made good member Of the board
he should not resign at the present time.
Council recinded its former action and
now Mr.. Reed will continue in the Office
to the end Of his term. which is for q
year yet.
Councilman Hall made motion that
the water and light company be notified
to change the position of the street light
at the corner of Yakima and Natchez
avenues. The light at that point is in
such position that it does not give good
service. The motion was carried and
the clerk was directed to notify the COM
pany accordingly.
A petition was read signed by four or
five citizens Of First street to the effect
that they did not consider the bid for
grading the street from Chestnut toWal-
nut streets as too high. Bids for the
work were opened and the contract let
E. c. Burlingame 4 Co. bid was $l.15
per lineal foot and that of William Nc.
kivor 80 cents. The lowest bidder got
the contract.
Councilman Sinclair brought up the
matter of the repairs to the headgate Of
the city ditch. This had been up before
the council once before and the city mar
shall was notified to make such repairs
as were necessary, but no report had
been made on it. Marshal Boyle report
ed that he had made the repairs and the
question was dropped.
The bill Of 500 OF c. NJ. Hauser for
making the repairs about the city hall
as would be necessary for the keeping of
the new fire department team in the
building, was reconsidered. 1t was
among the bills in lump at the pre-
vious meeting, but was rejected and an
itemized statement asked for. The
statement was made and the bill ordered
paid.
The resolution over the contested
piece of land was deferred till the next
meeting night. The committee having
the matter in charge said they had OPP
ened correspondence with the railway
company, but had not yet received an
answer.
The next meeting of council will be on
the first OF January. This will be the
present councils last meeting night.
On the following Tuesday the new
board will meet and organize for the en-
suing year
