English GRAND Opera.

Next week Henry w. Savage's English
Grand Opera Company willsopen Its engage
ment at the Columbia with Verdi's master
piece, "Othello," which with Puccini's IA
nous music drama of '"fosca'' will engage a
large share of the attention of the roper
toire. Carmen" "Lohengrin.' I'll Trova-
tore" and Bohemian Girl constitute the
remainder of the weeks program.
In "Tosca" the great Italian composer is
credited by critics both of this1country and
Europe with having set high mark in
thrilling harmonies of Sardou's stirring
drama of La Tosca" was a musical sensa-
ton In Rome at the time of its first produc-
ton at the TeatrO CONSTANT in 1899, and
repeated it's success soon after when
brought to America. Manager Savage first
produced 'Tosca" in English on any stage
during his last engagement in Buffalo. The
opera admits of superb scenic production,
the original scenery having been duplicated
by Walter Burridge, who had the Italian
models to work from. The opportunity to
hear two such noble works as "Othelo' and
"Tosca" makes the program of the week
one of unusual importance. The advance
sale of seats that set in on Monday morn
ing already indicates that the opera festival
is to be made a~society as well as musical

PATHS Washington Concert.

Adelina Patti Baroness Cederstrom),
whose name is the greatest in the history
Of song, will sing in Washington on Satur-
day, February Ii. in Convention Hall. I. E.
Sucking. one of her managers, arrived in
the city yesterday to look over the ground
and complete arrangements. He has de-
cided to open an advance sale on next Sat-
urday morning. Arrangements have been
made whereby those living in outside points
may secure their locations by correspond
ence. The utmost enthusiasm appears to
prevail all over the Pacific coast in regard
to the Patti concerts She has always
proved an immense favorite in that section
of the country, but it is evident that she
was never more so than at present. This is
demonstrated by the enormous sale that
took place in San Francisco recently, when
the box office opened for the two concerts
she gave there in the Grand Opera House.
The first day the ticket seller disposed of
seats to the extent of 81, 900 between am.
and pm, and the second day $4,000
worth were passed over the counter. This
does not count for the sale OF the cheaper
seats which raised the total to $4,000 for
the two concerts, which is the full capacity
Of the house.

T he EAT ER.
The Bispham Recital.

An audience by no means proportionate
to the merits of the entertainment offered,
but which was perhaps excusable on ac-
count of the inclement weather. assembled
at the Columbia Theater yesterday after
noon to hear David Bispham in a song re-
cital. Mr. Bispham is quite popular here,
and is perhaps the only male singer who
has attracted full house and held the
attention of his hearers at q recital. Con-
sequently, 1t was rather a surprise that
even with the bad weather his recital was
not more largely attended, His program
was an interesting one, and his audience
applauded him enthusiastically. His first
nomber, Nasce al Bosco," from Handers
Ezlo, was not given in his best form, but
his second song, Giordianis "Caro MIC
pen, arranged by Papini, was given with
exceiient breadth OF tone and splendid ex-
preston.
This was followed by DR.. Arnes 1.-THE
Lass with the Delicate Air" which was
sung by Sembrich at her recent recital and
the comparison was not so favorable to him.
als second group included two songs by
Schumann-"Der Nussbaum" also sung by
pc Sem Ho and "stille Thraenen and two
Dy scnubert-"H aiden Roesein'' and Dem
Unendlichen'- of which were well
given. and in response to the emphatic en-
core he sang Schubert's "Hark, Hank, the
a LARK. linen followed novelty in five
BlSpham prefaced with brief introduction,
telling something about the composer, the
extent of his work, his early and unfortu-
nate death In an insane asylum, and the
fact that his body now rested between
Beethoven and Schubert in Vienna ceme-
terry. The songs that he gave were inter-
esting, but require a more intimate ac-
quaintance for thorough appreciation Four
songs by Richard Strauss followed all Of
which were well received, the last, Helm
hche Aufforderung," bringing out the second
encore of the afternoon, which Mr.. Bis
pham responded to with IAN Evening
Song, also by Strauss. being a description
In tone color of eventide.
Two songs by Max Heinrich, one a set
ting of one of Tennyson's sonnets and the
other Who Knows" words by F. T.
Walker, proved highly enjoyable, especially
to those who had heard the composer who
is himself song recitahst of great merit.
A song by Charles Willehy, entitled Land
scapes," and one by Arthur Bruins, Lady
Moon" closed the program, but the au-
dience was so we'll pleased at the last one
that the applause was continued until Mr.
Bispham returned to the stage and sang
Kill kranke." Mr.. Harold o. Smith,
whom Mr.. Bispham brought here last sea-
son, was again the accompanist, and in
creased the favorable impression he made
before by his sympathetic and really ar
tistic work.

Abolition of County Courts.

The abolition of the old county court sys-
tenn in Virginia is almost revolutionary in
it's character. Throughout the state the
monthly court day. was the day for a
gathering of all the farmers and business
men Of the county at the county seat, not
so much to attend court. as to transact
private business. discuss politics and to
have a day of relaxation from work. For
hundred years they have been a part of
lifes round in the counties. and the abb
sence of court days will be sadly missed.
The terms of the circuit courts will be
quarterly and not monthly like the old
