The mpa is of sufficient
size and strength TO satisfactorily present
the pieces II has undertaken, and from
the reception accorded the players at the
two performances Sunday 1t is safe to
venture the criticism that they proved
not only acceptable. but also meritorious.
Among them is Jacob Frank, who APP
peared in Omaha some time ago and made
many friends; also his two children,
Beckle and Abe, who are quite clever for
their age; and Madam Fannie R%einhart.

Reinhart appearing to good advantage in
the role of Avigdor, a masculine part.

emotional acting. This evening the original
production of the "Kreutzer Sonata" in
the translation of which Blanche Walsh
starred successfully last season, will be

CAMPANINTS FUTURE
Singers Discuss Possibility of His
Chance to Metropolitan.

Although both Oscar Hammerstein and C1eofonts
Campanini seemed overcome with retcence yester-
day. It remained evident that the contract between
the two-conracts in operate circles are generally
given out as for five years duraton-had not been
signed At the rehearsal of "Princesse d'Auberge'
last night Signor Campanini seemed as calm as
ever and Mr.. HammeTstein did not seem at all
unhappiIy affected by the publication OF the fact
that SgnOr Csmpanini would conduct no operas
for him after the close of the present season
Mr.. Hammerstein is determined TO be the boss
of his own establishment, and that determination
has been conveyed to Signor Campanini IN no IN
certain terms. Mr. Hamnerstein has come. to the
conclusion that French opera, such as has no place
elsewhere in Manhattan. is a decided asset. If he
has decreed that French opera which has been so
successful as produced at the Manhattan, shall be
large feature Of the bills next year. he fans 70

LEGATION was made that his contract with the Man
haitian was for five years. but In this. the third
season Of the Manhattan he is far away from New
York earning livelihood BY singing leading tenor
parts at La Scala in Milan. The public might be
interested in discovering also for how long periods
the contracts OF Mr. Zenatelo and Mr.. Constan-
tho Mr. Hammerstein's leading tenOrs are to
hold good. But there is secrecy, even among ar

AS for Mr. Camp7nini's future, 1t may be recalled
that more than a year ago Otto h Kahn. a promi-

AN IPASCIBLE FAMILY.

Lord Durham is very aggressive and irritable
not TO say cranky and may be said TO have inner
tied these peculiarites from his grandfather, the
first earl who enjoyed the reputation of being the
most ouarreIsoue man the House of Commons
On this account he was shipped on 10 Canada as
its first Governor General and when he declined TO
remain there any longer and came home he was
created In hot haste peer Of the realm prior to his
arrival IN order to prevent az all costs his re-
entering the Commons and making life impossible
there for the Cabinet Of the day
Inasmuch SIS the present lord Durham has ever
since his schooboy days been renowned as the bet
Ter tempered Of the twins. it may readily be i'm
aRined that when Freddie LambtOn comes into the
family honors and jnheTits the titles and estates
he VIII worthily maintain the traditions OF irascl-
bil!ty Of his ancestors. The present lord, with all
his euickness of temper. is very kind hearted and IL
IS owing TO this odd mixture that he Is often de-
scri5ed as a twentieth century and English coun-
terpart Of Don Quixote de la Mancha- He makes
his principal home at Lambton Castle in the County
Of Durham, situated a height overlooking the
river Wear Half Gothic. half Tudor, the castle
almost disappeared about sixty years ago beneath
the surface of the ground and the fact brought
to light that the Lambtons Of the reign Of Queen
Elizabeth and Of King James, in their greed FOR eX-
tracing from their mines at the least possible
cost had wholly neglected to make any provision
Cor the support Of the which had been
worked beneath the castle Indeed, the latter stood
upon what was virtually empty coal mine-a
fact which had been allowed pass into oblivion
until attention called thereto by the sinking or
the foundations. The whole mine thereupon
bricked up at a very heavy cost and the castle
made entirely safe.
