CARMEN SYLVIA" IN MOURNING.

Prince WIed, whose death has placed in mourn
ing the courts of Bucharest, of The Hague, Of
Stuttgart and of Stockholm and who was the
brother of Queen Carmen Sylvia of Rumania,
bore a name and title that not wholly un-
known in America, for General Prince Maximilian
of Wied, granduncle Of the prince who has Just
died. was one of the first scions Of European roy
atty to become sufficiently interested in the United
States 70 visit It otherwise than refugee
as a foe. He crossed the Atlantic in 1881 and
spent couple of years touring all over the
Union and taking part also IN extensive scien-
tihc exploration Of the trans-Mssissippi region,
an expedition in which he bore the largest portion
of the expense. He made prolonged stays in New
York, Philadelphia, Washington and especially
Boston, and his description of the Fourth Of July
celebration at Boston IN 1892 published not
long ago in this country. Indeed. I understand
that e more extensive record of his American tour,
translated from a German work which he wrote
after his return to his home at Neu Wied, is in
cluded in the series Of EARLY Western Travels
published some time ago by the Arthur Clark Com
pany, Boston.
The late Prince wied was for many years presi-
dent Of the PrussaIt House of Lords, and was the
chief Of of those sovereign houses OF Ger
many whose thrones swept out of existence
along with the Holy Roman Empire by the First
Napoleon Just a hundred years ago. He leaves
a widow, who is princess Of the reigning house
Of the Netherlands and who comes next in the
line cf succession to the throne of Holland after
the Grand Duke or SaXe-Weimar and Princess
Marie Of Reuss and her sons; that is to say. her
chances Of ever becoming Queen OF Holland
extremely remote though excluded. Her eld-

MUSIC.
AT THE METROPOLITAN OPERA.

There was return to admired work in the
standard repertory at the first subscription Thurs
day at the Metropolitan Opera House last night
The opera AIDA the singers in the principal
parts those who long ago won favor in them and
have held It. Never was that favor more ernphati-
cally expressed than after the Nile scene, which
sung and acted with superb intensity by Nine
Gadski. Signor Caruso and Signor Scott. The
representatives of the other roles were Nine
Kirkby-Lunn. Amneris; NJ. Journet, Ramfs, and
Mr.. Sfuhlmann. the King. Mr.. Ferrari conducted
and called TO share the plaudits with the art
lists mentioned IN the scene which marked the
highest achievement Of the evening. The firm
hand with which he guided the forces merited such
recognition. The character Of Radames Is one
which Signor Caruso chose for his extraordinary
trtumphal tour in Europe in the fall To discuss
his performance would be only needlessly to re-
iterate praise. So. too, with Nine Gadski's sing

appearance this season. 1t Is pleasurabe duty to
say that her voice opulent IN volume and
beauty and that she sang with thrilling effective

THE VoLPE ORCHESTRA.

In view OF the multiplicity Of symphony concerts
in New York which make appeal to the patronage
of the public the reason for the existence OF the
Volpe Orchestra must be palmer to fits leader, its
members and its promoters than it can be TO the
ordinary observer Of the citys musical activities
This fact, however. need not stand In the way OF
a proper appreciation of it's doings. It began
confessedly organization Of amateurs who stud
led and played primarily for their edification
and secondarily for the entertainment Of their
friends; it has developed into incorporated body,
made it is said. largely Of professional play
ers whose labors have hitherto been IN the humble
ranks Of the profession Its first concert Of this
season was given In Carnegie Hall last night. The
programme presented was In all respects dignihed.
though 1T might again be deplored that for the
third time since the season opened a conductor
chose the grotesque bit Of decorative music from
Griegs Peer Gynt'' suite, that which accom-
panies the pursuit Of the hero by the trolls
in the hall of their king, to do honor to the
memory OF the lamented composer. The concert
opened with Mozart's Symphony in 2 fat Zone OF
the three written by the composer in his great
symphonic year,. which followed by Beetho-
ven's "Leonore No. g. overture. Then came the
Grieg excerpts ('Aase's death preceding the scene

violoncello concerto IN D minor played by Jean
Gerardy, and finally Tschaikowsky's overture

OF vgor and precision in the playing Of the band
the latter quality particularly noticeable in the
strings. but a deficiency of balance between the
choirs. and OF adjustment of nuances consequently
lack OF clarity In the exposition OF the thematic
material For instance. the simple. reiterated

there was much to commend In the playing Of the
band, which was enjoyed by an audience quite

The fact seems to have dawned upon Mr.. Roose-

and the pulp from which it is made should be ad-
mitted free of duty then American papermaker
should be assured of free wood the raw material or
their industry. Hence he will recommend that
pulp and paper from Canada be admitted free, but
only upon condition that Canada shall refrain from
imposing an export tax on wood coming into the
United States.
That Canada will do nothing of the sort is plain
She Is engaged in building up home industries
under protection of her tariff, and has gone far
beyond anything ever attempted in the Unlltu
