NEW SUPERS IN THE OPERA.
Herr Conried Intends to Hire Soldiers and
Students This Year.

Constant difficulties have in the past
hampeyed the stage management OF the
Metropolitan Opera House, owing to the
uncertainty as to whether the supers who
had been laboriously rehearsed would show
up at the public performance for which they
had. been drilled. At the last moment 1t
had often happened that half or more of
the auxiliaries were missing and had to be
hurriedly replaced by supers absolutely
unframed for their parts. Mr.. Conried
announces his intention to abolish this
abuse and make the super department
in every way worthy Of the Metropolitan
Opera House.
Next season" said Mr.. Conried, Il hope
you will see a notable improvement. The
existing state OF affairs has become intol-
cradle and menaces the success of the pro-
duotions which am preparing, At present,
our supers compare unfavorably with those
at the great European opera houses. There

stage disorder is reduced to a minimum.
Il should like it to be known continued
Mr.. Conried that I am now prepared to
receive applications from gentlemen who
may desire to act as supers at the Metro
politan and who can count on having leisure
to attend performances Every effort will
be made to arrange the rehearsals 30 as not
to prevent the gentlemen who may be en-
gagged from attending to their regular
avocations. Preference will be given to
applicants who are educated and have had
a military training have little doubt
that there are students and militiamen in
New York who would be glad to cooperate
modestly indeed, but usefully-with me

DisestAbliShment DecOrOusly
Special Gable Despatch TO THR SUN.
PARIS, Sept. lO.-Premier Combes's
declaration OF his intention to offer q bill
oancelling the Concordat has been inter-
preted variously, but it is quite wrong to
assume that he will be bitterly hostile to
the Church. He and his party are DESTROYS
Of disestablishment, but they hope to secure
it by deoorous and kindly means.
M. Combes's programme for the next
session includes an income tax, old age
pensions and disestablishment in the order
named. The Premier ingeniously puts
disestablishment last, not because he fears
defeat thereon, but because his party is
almost unanimous on it.
There will be much opposition to the other
two measures and Nj. Combes tells his fol-
lowers that IL they defeat him on those
measures they won't get the third, on which
their hearts are set.
