AMERICANS IN GRAND OPERA.
There Are Few of Them Because
 They Won't Sing in Chorus.

Opera-goers would have to discard their opera glasses and lorgnettes for telescopes to find the Americans on the Metropolitan stage. There are only about ten in all, and they are in the chorus, says the New York Times.
 Of this dearth of Americans a mem Der of the executive staff at the Metro politan said:
 Americans with operatic aspira. tions are not content to go into the chorus. They must be at the top of the heap and have the principal roles or nothing. The result Is we have no professional chorus people. In Flu rope the chorus man or woman makes 1t regular profession. Generation after generation in a family often goes into 1t. They know the reper. toire. which Americans do not So there is nothing left to do but to bring the chorus people from abroad. In the course of time, 1 suppose. this will bS corrected. MT.

GORDON MAY SUCCEED LEE.
Is One Of Three Being Considered for
Honor.

New orleans.-Although the greater
part of the day which witnessed the
death of Gen. Stephen ID. Lee, command
er-in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, has been given up to mourn
ing throughout the entire South. the
close approach of the Birmingham re-
union has made it imperative in the
minds of many at the headquarters of
the veterans here that the choosing Of
Gen. Lees successor should now be dis.
cussed.
So far but three names have been CON
sidered as possibilities. These are Gen.
w. A. Cabell of Dallas, Texas. command
ing the trans-Mississippi department of
the United Confederate Veterans. and
since the death of Gen. Lee, the lieu
tenant-general commanding the organize
tion; Gen. Clement A. Evans of Atlanta,
Ca, commanding the Army of Tennessee
department, and Gen. George w. Cor
don of Tennessee, commanding the Ten
nessee division of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans.
Since the death OF Gen. Lee there are
still living two officers who held COM
missions as lieutenant-generals in the
Confederate army. These are Gen. Alex
ander P. Stewart of Tennessee and Gen.
Simon Bolivar Buekner of Kentucky.
Neither Gen. Stewart nor Gen. Buckner

lie won the unique distinction of
earning the highest commendation in
each arm OF the service, and so great
was the value placed on his ability by
the president of the Confederacy that in
recommending his promotion from one

the position from which he was trans
ferred would feel the great loss of his

Since the war, in addition to edu-
eating the minds of the youth of the
South, like his great namesake. he, as
was the case with his predecessor, bent
his efforts to healing the wounds left by
the conflict, and there is something Pc

death was brought about BY his efforts
in this direction.
