Questionable Honor Proposed.

A Suggestion which is meeting
with favor Is to change the name
of the Philippine islands to the Nc
Kinley islands, says the w Washing.
ton correspondent of the Tribune.
1t 1T intended to bring the PROPOSE
ton before the next congress. A
part of the scheme embraces the
idea OF bestowlng upon the differ
ent islands and provinces the name
of the men most prominently identi,
fed with the acquisition aud mana
cement Of the islands. For instance,
the members of the American COM
mission which negotiated the Paris
treaty would thus be honored Il

THE THEATRICAL SEASON

1t is with great pleasure that
the public realizes that the Thea
trical Season is now fully opened,
and that, thus far the plays al.
ready presented have been of the
best and highest standard. Great
credit is due Messrs Murray and
Bel for their untiring efforts, and
their success in getting the best
of plays to play at their Vendome
Theatre, and a glance at the list
of plays that are scheduled to
show here later, will convince any
one that the efforts made by the
management of the VeDdome
have been quite successful. TIE
coming attraction, Murray and
Mack, is not new to the theatre
going people Of New iberia, but
there are new songs, new jokes,
new faces, that it may be consld
cred a new show. Murray and
Mack opened at the Crescent
Theatre, New Orleans, Sunday
night, and the S. r. o. sign was
put out long before the hour
arrived for the raising of the
curtain. The show was a .ntin-
ued laugh throughout. Miller's
Minstrels which will appear here
on Monday next, is another good
attraction, and so is stThe Star
Boarderv here on next Wednes-
day.

The Brothers Of Pity.

Mrs Rebecca Harding Davis
tells an interesting story Of an
American boy who visited the
quaint Italian city of Florence.
The young American, accom-
paired by a native lad, was pass
ing the entrance to the Ponte
Vecchio, a bridge gray with age,
which spans the Arno. Rows OF
goldsmiths' shops cling along its
edges like branches to a ships
side, and trays heaped with cheap
rings, or jewels worth a kings
ransom, line the sidewalks.
Just as they reached it sud.
den startling silence fell upon the
crowd. Across the bridge came a
noiseless procession of men in
black gowns and cowls. The cowls
covered their faces, two holes be
ing cut for their eyes to look
through. They carried sick
man upon a bier, and passed
through the sunshine silently as
shadows. All traffic stopped te
make way for the procession; many
of the Italions muttered prayer
for thepoor burden, crossing them
selves.
When they we're gone, Tom fel,
that it was time for some mission
aIy work, and said:
"Now at home we've no time for
that foolery. The idea of those
men dressing up like mummies Il
carry their relatives to a hospital

NOT RIGHT.

In Saturdays issue Of the Grow
ley News appeared an article
relative to the Band Contest
which is to take place here on
Sunday next.
The article says the Crowley
Band does not desire to enter into
such a gambling scheme, with all
the odds against them, and 1T
looks like a scheme on the part OF
the New Iberia people to get
music cheap, etc. Easy, easy,
brother Nixon! Do you suppose
that if it was the intention of the
Park Association here to get
cheap music that they would offer
purse of 800? Do you not
know that band could be had
for the nominal sum Of $25 and do
you not believe that the Park
Association would sooner pay $25
than 500 if it was their intention
to get cheap music? Evidently
the news has been misinformed:
in fact 1T is hardly possibly but
| that If is otherwise.
The object in offering 800 fol
q band contest is to create 9
stronger interest in band circles
| and not as a gambling scheme
and we do not understand how
the News can call it a gambling
scheme" because if it was 6
"gambling scheme" it would bt
one that we could win something
at. Figure up, brother Nixon. w

Verdi AnecdOtes,


The Verdian anecdpte has been alwavs
plentiful. Paugn. Ghislanzoni, Bermani,
Barili and Checchi being among the best
informed on this head. But all they register
refers generally to suave aphorisms or
snubs administered to curiosity or incom-
petence, and has been exploited journals
tically long since. Now. there was a Verdi
known only to very intimate circle. a
Verdi humorist. and as We heard the in
stances of this unexpected incarnation we
repeat them 1t Ia well known that in the
legislature of 1861 Verdi was persuaded by
Count Cavour to represent constituency
In the italian parliament. "Only" he told

Prof. Horatio Parker the composer of

came from New Haven to conduct the re-
hearsal of the Choral Society on Monday
evening. There was a very large attendance
of the society, Numbering about hundred
and seventy. Prof. Parker made a decided
ly pleasant impression on the members.
He has very vigorous and incisive manner
and possesses large share of personal
magnetism, which enables him TO secure
from the chorus the results required by
him. His interpretations were not suhstap-
TALLY different from those of Mr.. kaspar.

or the previous rehearsals. The society ia
having two rehearsals n week and the pros
poets are that the work will be in fine shape

The membership Of the inaugural chorus
Is now in excess Of the limit of 500, and no
applicants are now admitted except special
ly qualified tenors or bassos. On Wednes-
day evening Mr. Percy s. Foster, the d.
rector, took up the setting by De Koven of
Kipling's "RecessionaT' and was much
pleased with the intelligent reading of the
chorus. A large share Of the evening was
given to the inaugural anthem by Frederick
r. Burton, Freedom, Our Queen" with
excellent results. AS the work proceeds,
Mr.. Burton's composition Is seen to present
a happy combination Of broad and simple
effects with sound principles of compost
ton.
Director Santelmann is uncertain about
the third concert of the series announced
by the Washington Philharmonic Orches-
ira. The first one was largely losing ven
ture. The second was handicapped by bad
weather and resulted in a small financial
loss. The third was announced for March

Santelmann Is also director, is rehearsing
its program for the inaugural ball and
concerts, and also the programs to be
played on its tour. which will begin March

Washington will have a permanent SYM

the city. If not some other organization

1t may not be amiss to add here a few
remarks as to the future of the orchestra
concerts by the Pittsburg Orchestra in
Washington. The Boston Symphony Or
chestra had most successful career here;
the audiences were large and Intelligent,
and Its omission of Washington from
its list was felt as a calamity by the
music lovers Of the city. These are now
looking to the Pittsburg Orchestra to sun
ply this place. at least until they can build
up by degrees a local orchestra of prores-
sionai players, promisingly foreshadowed by
the recent concerts of the Washington Phil
harmonic.
After the first Pittsburg concert It was
confidently felt that the need would be
fully supplied; after the second there has
been much shaking of the head The de-
