yesterday. The reporters clutched az straws
10 bring forth some droll remark; suggested
subjects OF conversation that would pro-
woke laugh: but Mr. Clemens discussed
all briefly and seriously. Votes for
women" was thrown in as a fertile subject
for light comment. but the aged author
spoke with serious feeling on the efforts OF
woman 70 obtain suffrage
A suggestion Of feebleness vas observed
when Mr.. Clemens left the steamers gang
plank. He said he was not feeling as well
as usual. and complained Of a pain in his
left breast

he placed both hands over his heart But
7 am through with lecturing 7 can't do il
any more. Ny left breast is troubling ne
too much He paused a moment and then
said; II am through with work for this
life and this world"
Mr.. Clemens said he would work occasion

tracted by the prelude. which 7 consider a
musical snachronism. This prelude Is
doubtless by the composer. but Of an earlier
period. probably written for one Of his for
mer works az 2 time when his great style
had not yet fully developed.
AT the end Of the first act I have sub
stituted the we'll known sris from Glucks
'Alceste.' 'Divinites du Styx.' for the aria
di hrsvura' from 'Aristeo.' which is gen
orally given In Europe. This aria belongs
20 an entirely different school
In the last act have introduced. the
trio Amore- Orfeo- Euridice which origi-
mates from 'Paride ed Elena. the last opera

method which has been followed ever since
the opera was first staged. 7 have also
substituted the final chorus from Echo =

An these changes we're advocated by
Gevaert. the late director Of the Conserva-
toire in Brussels Vno devoted nearly all
hts life 10 musical researches. and more
especially 20 Gluck The version which 7
have adopted is based upon the version
adopted By Gevaert in Brussels at the first
