law II. E. Krehbiel, who has made an
English version of the work, may be able
to copyright his version and thus afford a
little protection to the opera, but IL looks

plOna was always made the occasion Of an
enthusiastic demonstration. This time the
eminent violinist preferred TO travel lin
cognito' and arrive Unexpectedly. The rea-
son of this was that the Liberals had
claimed him as one of their own and profit
ed by his renown and influence, and this
had led 10 a fight between them and the

these demonstrations
