Ifor the 'true Italian virtuoso Veodl is the (great est of all composers and naturally no more sympathetic interpreters1' of the jmusic.

Every one of the seven yerdi ^numbers to be .played is xa manuscript ar rangement, and three of them were pre pared by Rivela himself. One of the lat ter is the fine "Ernanl" selection, open ing with (the scene where the band, is 'heard playing a march, on tho stage set to represent a ball room. Towards the end the band leaves and the last notes are heard dying away In t i e distance. Rivela then passes directly tip the dun igeon scene, where Ernanl and (his friends ere taking the oath of allegiance to Charles V., who Is plotting to recover hfe ancestral throne. The music ia graphical ly descriptive of the midnight scene, de veloping into the well known ana magnl- b'ned with absolute simplicity, makes II a Iramatia tone jpoem almost unequalod in the realm of music. Next week will bo the ktst of toe en gagement and will be signalized by a number of special programs, t he detail* of which will be announced later. Among others will be the third appearance of tho evox popular Maud Ulmer Jones on Wed* nosday evening. She will otng two dainty songs by another talented (Minneapolis girtT Gertrude pans Souci. The youn# composer is alsd a virtuoso of great talent and it is certain that she has a great fu ture before her. The songs are called "When Song is Sweet" and "Wishes."

Curti) accompanied by tho septet of principals and all the con spirators. In Rivela's arrangement solo instruments stand out in fine relief, so that the listener easily follows the scene. Another great selection is the last act of "La Traviata," the story of which is that of "Camille." The music is peffectly adapted to the sense of the story. Only a Verdi could have so well expressed in music the matchless pathos of this final situation. The scene is the chamber of Violetta, who, separated from 'Alfredo, her lover, is dyinig of consumption and grief. The exquisite prelude discovers her asleep in the darkened rocn. She wakes and staggering to her dressing table gazes at the reflection of her pallid face in a handglass while she sings the pathetic "Addio del Passato" (Farewell to the Past). She drops exhausted Into a chair a she utters the last plaintive note. Roused by the sound of boisterous music outside she totters to the window and listens to the passing carnival pro cession. The contrast of pathos and gaiety here is one of the finest dramatic touches in all the range of grand opera. Then she takes from her bosom a letter from Alfredo saving that at last he un derstands her great sacrifice for him and will return to entreat her pardon. "Too late, too late" she cries. Hurried foot steps are heard, Violetta rises from her chair with an effort and Alfredo stands before her With a loud crv she throws heiself in his arms and together they sing a wonderful allegro movement ex pressive of great Joy. Then seated side by side they sing the famous "Parigl o Cara," in which forgetting all their sor rows they project -a future of perfect bliss. But when Violetta tries to put en her cloak there breaks upon her the dreadful realization of the truth. To gether the lovers sing the despairing "Gran IDio," -strains of heart-breaking pathos, expressive in their simplicity far beyond the labored efforts of less master ly composers in whose scientific elabo ration there is fno musical inspiration. Then comes the final death scene when, - after breathing out her last wisheB and farewells, she staggers to her feet. Tho orchestra takes up the exquisite love mo tive of the first at t and uttering a last cry she 'falls dead in Alfredo's arms. Signor Palma will play the Violetta music and Signor^ Marino that of Alfredo.

When Chauaeey Olcoxt comes to the Metro* polltan for the week of Sept* 1 it will be in. a new play (written especially for 'him by his author-manager, Augustus Pliou.

Eva Tanguay, who mas the hit as the girl detectlTe la 'Frank L. Perter's "Chaperon*" company, has been re-engaged for the second season of that successful musical farce. Beverly's Mastodon 'Minstrels will $e the first minstrel, show of the season at the Met Tepolltau, opening Sept. 14. "King Dodo" is on for another ran at the tudebaker theater, Chicago, where It will hold forth until the Castle Square manage atent puts on "The Prince of iPilsen" about the middle of September. Immediately after w e close bf the Chicago engagement, "'King Dodo" will be seen at the Metropolitan. Kelety and Shannon will continue to present 'Her Lord and Master" the coming season, and will be seen at the Metropolitan early in October. -, ' , After a season of wonderful success throughout the country following the great est run ever accorded a musical comedy in Hew York, "Florodora," is once more to be given in the same magnificent style that has signalised it as the most perfectly presented play of its kind on the stage. With a big company including many well-known singers, and a chorus of beauties, ss well (as the Pretty Maiden" double sextet, it will be one of the early musical offerings at the Metro politan. As Amelia Bingham does not open her sea son in New York until about the 1st of January, she will make a tour of the prin cipal cities, and will probably visit Miane apolis early in the season. The play to he presented is "A Modern Magdalen," which scored a success in New York last spring. If all the reports that come from Chicago be true, the theater goers of this city will witness one of the most gorgeous spectacles een on the local stage for many a moon when "The Wizard of Os" is presented at the Met ropolitan. The veteran actor, Lewis Morrlaon( Will tour the country again this season with an elaborate production of "Faust." The success of Rice's "Show Girl" in New York made it necessary for the Rice Amuse ment company to equip two companies forthe coming season tour. One company will play the eastern circuit, while the other will, be sent for a tour of the west and south. Blanche Walsh will star this season in a new play by Stanislaus Stange, derived from Flaubert's "Salambo,* under the management of Wagenhals & Kemper. This same firm will directs the fortunes of the Louis James Frederick Warde combination in a revival of "The Tempest." Charles B. Hanford will toUr the country in "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Much Ado About Nothing." "The Old Guard," in which Mr. Hanford created such an impression here last winter, will be retained as a curtain raiser. Templar Saxe, the young English barytone, is the latest acquisition of the Castle Square opera company. He will be Of the "Sultan of Sulu" company. Elsie De Wolf, who met with phenomenal success In New York last season in "The Way of'the World," will present this play 'on the road this season.

THE THEATERS Mellow old brass is just now much ad mired and dieslred, and Justly so, for, apart from its quality of indestructibility and its intrlnslo beauty, it has claims above most other metals in a decorative sense. Can anything in its way ibe finer than the gleam of brass in a carved cab inet? Or consider the effect of an old ibrass mural tablet set in the Flemish Paneling of a library fireplace. I know a bachelor girl who achieved her heart's desire in the decoration of her single room. It suggested a forest vista in its commingled and harmonious tints of green. There were the needful con trasting notes in the scattered Flemish and mahogany finished furnishings,but when all was done she Hiked about dis satisfied and wistful for the missing something which should toe, tout a s yet was not. Just here a friend brought in a Roman pitcher of soft tinted old brass and placed ft on the green table. Ah! then the glen awoke and sang. The note of radi ance was repeated in a brass jardiniere for the fern and a Ibrass clock on the mantel and the harmony was complete. Minneapolis already has ..collectors of fine metals and our householders have suited themselves in selecting from these local stores. Again, many fine pieces have been found) in the homes of the Russian Jews, who bring among their household goods desirable pieces from their native land. , Most, perhaps all, the brasses pictured In this article are of such character and worth as to be of instant interest to the connoisseur. The Illustrations, fine as they are, fail to show the pieces at their pest. For the photographer's use they must be brought from the cabinet or other picturesque setting and placed In such uncompromising light as shall warrant a photograph which may be reproduced. Dr. Owre's pieces, shown in Plate A, are from the private collection of a connois seur, and are of greater interest since they represent the work of old artificers. \ To-morrow evening the Percy Haswell company at the Metropolitan will begin its fifth week in Minneapolis with a dramatized production of Ouida's cele brated romance, "Moths." It has been de dlded to give "Romeo and Juliet" also for part of the time. The repertory, as now" arranged, provides for "Moths" to-mor row* night, and also for the afternoon and evening performances next Saturday. Monday night "Romeo and Juliet" will he iproducedand will run the rest of the tyeek until Saturday. - Monday night will be a souvenir occa sion, when every lady attending wUl be presented with a silver-plated box of !o bons, each box containing a litho graphed portrait of Miss Haswell on the cover. These boxes will be found good enough to preserve as souvenirs of the engagement of the Percy Haswell com pany In Minneapolis. Both "Moths" and."Romeo and Juliet'* ire so well known that any extended de scription is probably superfluous. "Moths" is one of Ouida's best and most thrilling romances. The scenes take place in Eu rope. Vera, a young girl fresh from a convent, is forced by a scheming mother being genuine antiques in Roumanian and Russian brass. In these pieces the tint Is at once soft and fine, inconceivably su perior .to the crude, glaring yellow of commercial brass. This tint may be due to the introduction of something besides zinc and copper, which are the metals used in making brass, or, again ,it may be due to the working of the tmetals in fusing. Along the Ural mountains In Russia, Dr. Owre says, furnaces have been found containing scoria which on examination showed that brass had been made there. Some of the scoria showed traces of lead, and again of lead containing silver. Dr. Owre, himself a metallurgist, is in doubt as to whether the Individuality of Rus sian brass is due to its compounding or its o&stiiifir In this plate the wall candlesticks seen in the background, are of mellow-tinted brass, and in workmanship and design are very attractive. The large piece in the center represents a Moorish coffee pot. Though 'ibe'typd was originated long ago. Its counterparty are still in use by the people of southern Europe. The coffee, which is cooked by steam, generated in he pot by the lamp underneath, is fil tered through a succession of perforated saucers, and coffee thus prepared is said to be the finest1 in the world. The inte rior arrangement, in the cleverness of its mechanism, would do credit to a Yankee. At the left of thks coffee pot is the coffee grinder, which gbes with it. By an inte rior regulator tie coffee may be ground coarse or fine. This piece is very rare. The candlestick at the left, with a square base, is aivery old piece. It is of a shape once coamion in New England. The thumb piece at the side of ,the stick is attached to a slide which lifts the can dle up in the socket aa it burns away. The little cup near the coffee pot is an old Russian wine glass, a cast piece of brass, crude and quaint. The two can dlesticks in the foreground at the right are quite the most beautiful in the own er*a collection of nearly 100. They are the sockets of his candlesticks, spots of verdigris gather on his pieces and stay there, for he will not allow them to be polished. However, they make a brave showing ranged on shelves about his den, for the collection comprises about eighty candlesticks, several coffee pots, with samovars, flagons, fruit pans, lamps, can delabra, reflectors and other .bits of bric a-brac. utensils, much coveted, as their possibili ties for utility and as decorative adjuncts are unlimited. The mortar and pestle are unique. Their shape and size are good and they are even more than the illustra tion shows, a thing of beauty. TThe low "flat candlestick" is an heirloom in Mr. .Whitcomb's family and has an interest ing history. The samovar* was obtained through a local dealer, and connoisseurs PLATE GOWNED BY MRS.

Again, a word about the philosophy ef laughter. When the system is nerved and is making conscious or unconscious effort, the nerves that tighten the walls of the blood vessels are hard at work, and pressure in the arteries is great but a hearty laugh, as Brucke's interesting experiments show, tends to bring the blood over into the veins where there is no pressure, relieves the arteries and brings the exquisite sensations of re laxation of Test. This is favored even by the attitude of a hearty laugh.
