SEMBRICH WEEPS AND SINGS.

There was a combination of love feast
charity and music festival in Carnegie
Hall yesterday afternoon when Nine.

benefit Of the chorus and orchestra Of the
Metropolitan Opera House. The orchestra
musicians lost their instruments in the
great fire after the earthquake and the
chorus singers lost their clothes. The
recital of yesterday will help to repair these
losses.
Nine. Sembrich herself escaped from the
wretched city with scant attire and lost
numerous handsome costumes. The bril-
liantly jetted one she wore yesterday after
noon with a picture hat surrounded by
an old rose feather looked as if it had Just
arrived from Paris.
When the singer appeared before the
large audience she was received royalty.

1.-THE Tale of Two Cities that is being circulated by the New
York Telephone Company is only partly told. There are seven
thousand towns and cities in this country that have two telephone
systems, and in these towns and cities the independent companies
have lower rates and better service, and the frantic efforts that the
New York Telephone Company are making by advertisement and the
false pretenses under which they are circulating petitions in an effort
to perpetuate their monopoly and maintain their exorbtant RATES
are walls of DISTRESS. The New York Telephone Company that is
now appealing for aid of the public have never paid the City of New
York one dollar for their valuable franchise, and they are charging
the City of New York Three Hundred Thousand Dollars EVERY
year for phones.
We offer the City free service for the full period Of our franchise.
This item alone will save the taxpayers Seven Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars. In addition to this we offer over Three Million
in cash for the privilege of paying tribute to the New York Telephone
Company, who own the Empire Subway. The corporation counsel
has charged the New York Telephone Company with robbing the
City of over Six Million. Dollars through the Empire Subway,
which they own. Less than 20% Of the great business interests of
New York and not 1895 of the residents now have telephones,
because of the prohibtive prices charged. The automatic service
which we propose to install is giving perfect satisfaction everywhere.
It's a secret service which does not get out of order. More than
one hundred thousand users recommend it to New York. Are you
for the monopoly or for the people?
