 There is a possibility that lovers of music may never have another op- portunity to listen to the great and renowned pianist. Ignace Paderew- ski, who won such praise from every critic, and who has entirely captured the hearts of his American audiences, and, the announcement of his threat ened paralysis, caused by a blow on the back of the neck, received in a railway accident has caused the deepest apprehension and concern, throughout the musical world
 At first the accident was not con sidered serious, as he only suffered a slight pain in the back of the neck;
 but continuation by a specialist, Dr. Francis F. FronZac. who is an old friend of Paderewski, disclosed the fact that the pianist had suffered so severe a shock. that there was dan ger of his becoming a hopeless par alytic. Dr. FronZac ordered a long and complete rest for the musician, with the warning that paralysis would be certain to ensue, unless his advice was acted upon instantly. and obeyed for at least six months. TEis resulted in the cancellation of Pad erewski's engagement in Boston. and notices have been sent to managers throughout his planned Canadian route, to the effect that he would not appear there during the present year and PaderewSld is now on a steamer en route for Switzerland, where he goes for complete rest and quiet and the most scientific nursing and en- tire absence of worry or irritation of any kind are necessary if he is again to delight his audiences at the piano. Unlike the traditional mu- sical genius. Pederewshd is not hedged in by narrow prejudices and but is described as possessing self control. He is also a man of wide culture, a polished and genial companion. brilliant in table talk. and thoroughly alive to the af- fairs of the world. In a word, he is the successful man, great artist and a rich man combined. He has succeeded in arousing the enthusiasm of the most cultured audiences in the world, besides giving pleasure and delight to those of less musical and simpler tastes, which proves him a great artist, of great and well balanced poetic tempera- nent, and according to the best crit les, whose genius has not been sur passed since the days of Chopin and LisZt.
 Mime. Schumann-Heinck. who has laid aside Grand Opera. for Comedy, l and who is now starring in Loves Lottery" is making quite an inno- yation in comic opera, when she in- ] songs like Mendelsshon's 'The Lord is Mindful of His Own," in the course of the opera, as was the case at the Powers Theater. in l Chicago, last week. Her idea is to l elevate musical comedy; but 1t is l like the old story of put l ting the profane parrot with the l preachers good parrot to reform it, l resulting in the degradation of the | good parrot.

 Funny" Frank Daniels is now playing in New York in a new mu- sical comedy, Sergeant Brue." It is well that he has had the good sense to discard that Impossible "The Office Boy" for it was almost too much to ask of an audi ] ence, to sit through a so-called mu- sical comedy, with no music to rec ommend it, and with, little wit, ex- cept the little "spouts" furnished by Funny Frank"
 Owen Hall has supplied the plot for Sergeant Brue." and Liza Leh- mann, famed for her Tn a Persian has supplied the music. Quoting an exchange. Sergeant Brue" is quite popular in New York and bids fair to rival Tn Persian Garden:
 The lines are very bright and reach that place where the laughs are con cealed. and the music is excellent the klnQ that mdheS you IluSle. Oue or two of the songs got as many as five encores, and one of them, My Irish Molly, O." sung by Blanche King, might have been sung till mid night if the orchestra leader had been willing. Saturday After Two" was another hit, and an exquisite song called ''Dearie" (by Clara Kum- | mer) was sung exquisitely by Miss Sallie Fisher For I Was Born on Friday, a Most Unlucky Day" sung by MT. Daniels. caught the house, but no doubt the funniest tning in this very funny show is a trio-a jail | birds lullaby-wherein three crooks, | one dressed as a very young army | one as a clergyman and one | as a waiter, sing of the comforts of | prison. Put Me in My Little Cell' | they warble sentimentally, while the | soldier looks delighted and boyish. | the waiter most darkly criminal and | the person mingles wonderfully in | his expression smugness and villiany. | This trio, of course. were recalled
