Colonel Mapleson's Story of the Cast
That First Sang the Opera
Carmen" In the United
States.

The cast that first sang the now
celebrated opera Carmen" in this
country consisted of the world famous
tenor, Italo Campanini; Del Puente,
the baritone, and the American stars.
Minnie Hauck and Alwina Valeria.
They sang the opera and scored a
great triumph therein under the direc-
ton of the late Col. James H. Maple
son, the operate impresario; and one
of the most amusing stories Of the
troubles of an impresario that Colonel
Mapleson ever told me related to this
famous Carmen" cast.
II had seen the opera in Paris"
said Colonel Mapleson, land deciding
that it would be a great success in
London and the United States, made
arrangements to produce it in both
countries-at Drury Lane, in the early
summer, and at New York's Academy
of Music in the autumn. Then I sent
for Minnie Hauck, Alwina Valeria,
Campanini and Del Puente.

sometimes to run the gauntlet of awk.

day, what is an equinox"
Father-"Why, er-it is-ahem! For

rived from the words equine and OK

Minister Pierrepont Convinced John
Russell That There Was Prece-
dent In Reception Given
Napoleon III.

When the world became aware OF
the fact that General Grant was go
ing on O. world tour, our minister to
the court of st. James was Edward
Pierrepont, who two years before, had
been appointed encouragement by
| President Grant. He and General
Grant were warm personal friends,
and it was this friendship more than
anything else which caused him to do
all he could to see that Grant would
be received properly when he visited
England.
Making an appointment with John
Russell, secretary for state in the
British cabinet, Judge Pierrepont
| brought up the question as to how
General Grant would be received off,
cially. He found Lord Russell very
cordial and anxious, apparently, that
the reception should be worthy Of
General Grant But" added Lord
Russell, ST am not at all certain as
to the appropriate official procedure
for his reception"
What, in a general way, had you
thought of, Lord john" politely asked
Mr.. Pierrepont.
"Well," was the reply, II will an
swer your question in what Is said to
be a characteristic American way, by
asking you another: What do you
think the general character Of the re-
ception should be?"
THAT, of course. is for you to say"
countered Minister Pierrepont, land |
feel sure that you must even now be
entertaining some idea of what would
be appropriate and sufficient recogni-
ton"
You are right" confessed Lord
Russell. 'Tt seems to me that General
Grant should be received as the most
distinguished private citizen of the
United States and one of the great
military commanders of the worlds
history.
"Oh, no." replied Mr.. Pierrepont,
bluntly, that won't do at ALL"
well, them" said Lord Russell.
Tell me what seems to you would be
an appropriate official reception"
The reply was instantly given. Gen
eral Grant should be received with all
the honors that you are accustomed
to bestow upon any one who has serv-
ed as a ruler of a great nation. He
has been not only a great general, but
also president of the United States
for nearly eight years"
But" protested Lord Russell,
there isn't any precedent for official
recognition Of that sort"
IF precedent be necessary, Lord

Grew Tired of Playing Colonel Sellers
to Big Houses and Paying Most
of the Receipts for
Royalties.

Some years after John T. Raymond
who died In 1885, had made his great
historic hit as Col Mulberry Sci.
lers in a dramatization of Mark
Twain's book, 1.-THE Gilded Age" a
character according to one authority,
shat became completely identified
with his own breezy optimism" I met
him one afternoon as he was enter
ing the old Willard hotel in Washing
ton. He beckoned me to one side.
II have made up my mind to buy
play written by David D. Lloyd, a
Washington newspaper correspondent

called For Congress Mr.: Lloyd read
1t to me this morning, and | am going

close my present contract"
Why" said, what do you want
with new play, Mr.. Raymond? The
Gilded Age ought to be good for ten
years yet. 1t has given you national
reputation, and should be making you
rich"
The comedian smiled dry sort of
smile.
ooh, that play has given me a repu-
tation, all right" he said, "but reputa-
ton is not milk and honey, and that's
why am soon going to be done with
The Gilded Age forever, yes, forever.

Sellers to packed houses and finding
out, when figuring up accounts, that
I have made just about enough to pay
the expenses of my company and to

Everybody has supposed that you
were making a fortune out of the
play" said.
Mr.. Raymond struck the familiar at
titude Of Colonel Sellers in the play,
when that worthy, in describing the
eye-wash says, There's millions in it,"
"Oh," exclaimed Raymond, with up
lifted hand, there's millions in it
there's millions in it-but they are for

Why England Honored Grant

John, I can call one to your attention.
"Indeed?"
1.-The reception, Lord. John, England
accorded to one who was an ex-presi'
dent of the French Republic and ex.
emperor of Transcription III
when he came to your shores an
exile"
Lord John Russell's face went in
stantly blank. Slowly he recovered
from his establishment.
"Mr. Pierrepont," he said finally,
you are right. General Grant shall
be received with all the ceremony and
etiquette properly appertaining to one
who has been the ruler of great ma
ton"
And In such fashion Citizen Grant
was greeted and entertained some
months later by the representatives of
the British government.

Then came the fourth and last chap

when, one week after his young wife
had tried to kill herself he went to q

himself in the head.

When the news of her husbands
death was taken to Mrs. Bauduy she
tried to Kill herself once more by
leaping from a window, and was bare

And so ended the career of Louis

which made these three beautiful
