DIR. NEITZEL on "sALOME."
An Interesting Lecture With Piano Illus
tr stiOns on strauss Work.

DR.. Otto Neitzel, well known in Germany
as a critical writer on music and musicians
and as a pianist and teacher, gave in Mendel-
ssohn Hall yesterday afternoon the frs t
OF a series OF lecture r~ecitals, in which he
will be heard in various cities. His theme
was the new operatic work of Richard
Strauss, "Salome," which is to be made
public later in the season at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House. DR.. Neitzel followed the
familiar method of lecturers on musical
TOPICS, e~ndeavoring to explain the dramatic
intent Of the work and the thematic plan of
the music.
He proved to be q most interesting talker.
speaking English slowly and deliberately
and generally quite intelligibly. He dis
played a most ingratiating sense OF humor
and tactfully avoided keen critical discuss
sion OF the work, which he confessed be-
lonred to the decadent school OF art. He
held a large audience in close attention for
nearly an hour before he began his musical
Illustrations. These he played himself
on a grand piano with plenty Of technical
III and with much color.
The entire lecture recital proved TO be
both entertaining and instructive. Where
ever DR.. Neitzel goes he should meet with
a cordial welcome from those who take a
sincere interest in musical art. Such a
combination Of skill in speaking and piano
playing 10 indeed rare.

What is the mystery in -Blindfoldedi'
1t would not be fair to author or reader to
reveal it here. The book is the best source.
One thing is certain, the stories are few, in
deed, which exhibit so much resource, skill
and b~ewildering inventiveness In conceal
ing the climax as one and in sBlindfolded."
And yet IL Ii 80 artfully managed, il becomes
so much a part Of the tale itself and the re-
suit of the condition il develops, that the
reader never senses the rare cleverness dis
played until with one sweep Of the arm, as
Ii were, the curtain is lifted and the whole
mystery, from beginning &c end, is revealed.
In a word, -Blindfolded" is a story Of a very
unusual quality .-Brooklvn Eagle.

BETTER Ii. n. T.. CAR SERVICE.
Increase Of Cars On Both Surface and
EIeynted Roads.

Increase Of Cars On Both surface and
Elevated Roads.
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
made the announcement yesterday that
beginning on Monday the service would be
much increased on both the surface and
elevated lines in the South Brooklyn dis
trict. The elevated trains on The Sea
Beach line are to be operated separately
from the Manhattan end Of the Brooklyn
Bridge and ON q fifteen minute Roadway.
The company says:
The Increase in population upon what has
hitherto been regarded solely as a short cut
line for the Coney Island business makes
this change possible. Many new houses have
sprung up on the Gravesend farm lands and
have begun to give the Sea Beach road a
permanent winter patronase During the
rush hours, when the Roadway on Adams
street Is at a minimum, separate operation OF
the Sea Beach trains is out of the question.
A Sea Beach car was formerly attached to the
West End Coney Island trains and uncoupled
at Ffty-eighth street. Under the new
schedule the West End trains viii be
len kthened and run independently from Park
row.
The Bath Beach and Sea Beach trains will
be coupled together in rush hours. Al
these trains branching OF through New
Utrecht avenue will run as expresses through
Fifth avenue during rush hours. In oruer 10
give a better service through this last street
at busy times a short line local train service
will be installed. running between the bridge
and Thirty-sixth street, making all stops.
The midnight service will remain I'M
changed.
The increased service, the company says,
is entirely voluntary and represents tho
limit on a double track line. 1t adds.
with a third track on Fifth avenue better
express service will Immediately be pos
sibIe." This announcement OF improved
surface car service was also made:
The new surface car service involves four
car lines and will be- put into effect imme-
diately. A line OF oars operating through
Second avenue from the Thirty-ninth street
ferry to Bay Ridge andIthenoe through Bay
Ridge avenue IL to be operated through to
Timer Park during the rush hours. while the
Thirty-ninth street ferry cars running
through Fifth avenue and Eighty-sixth street
are to be operated through TO Coney Island
throughout the day.
The Fifth avenue and Eighty-sixth street
cars running from the Bay Ridge elevated
terminal will be run to Timer Park throughout
the day. while cars for the same terminal
by the way Of Bay Ridge avenue. will stop at
Fourteenth avenue, transferring at that point
except during rush hours, when they will run
through to Bath Beach.

author OF The Upton Letters from a College
Widow" and other books and criticisms Of
scholarly character. His brother, Edward
Frederick Benson, is the author of the ir-
responsible "Dodo" and other novels. A
third son, Robert Hugh Benson. who left
the Church Of England and went into the
priesthood Of the Roman Church, is also
an author and has written Ave novels,
colored by the sentiments Of Catholicism,
which find many readers among those OF
the Roman Catholic faith.
The chief interest of Henry Redhead
Yorke's Letters from France, written in
1902, edited and published by Lady Sykes
under the title Of France 1902" lies in the
fact that the writer of the Letters" during
his first visit to France, in 1892, was intimately
acquainted with the chief figures and was
present at the great opening Incidents of
the Revolution. During his second visit
he meets the old friends again and describes
the ruined towns and villages, the starving
men for whom there was neither work nor
bread, the problem of whose existence
could be solved only by their formation into
Napoleon's enormous p%lundering armies.
Henry James's second paper on The
Speech of American Women" emphasizes
the fact that while the voice Of the Ameri-
can woman pleads in a thousand places
the cause Of culture, in schools and colleges
in clubs and societies, there is everywhere
"a serenity of Indifference to the very KEY
Of the effect of the cultivated feminine

are worth trouble when you stand or fall
