CELEBRATE IN LONDON.
AMERICAN SOCIETY DINES
Speeches by Ambassador Reid, Gen
eral White and Others.
London, Nov. 28.— Whitelaw B«ld, the Amor
ican Ambassador, spoke optimistically of the
financial outlook, and Field Marshal Sir George
Stewart White eulogized President Roosevelt in
Caw warmest terms at tho Thanksgiving dinner
at the American Society to-night. That the
financial depression was felt among the Amer
icans in England wan ehown by the attendance
at the banquet, which was the smallest In sev
eral years. Three hundred guests participated,
compared with four hundred at last year's ban
quet.
The president of the society. Colonel Mlllard
Hunsicker, was absent, and R. Newton Crane, a
former president, presided. Ambassador Held sat
at his rifrht at the table of honor, and Mrs. Reid
sat st his left. Others at this table besides the
speakers were the Marquis and Marchioness of
Tweeddale. Sir Ernest Cassel, Robert J. Wynne.
American Consul General at London, and Mrs.
Wynne; J. J. Van Alen. Captain Sydney Clo
man. military attache of the American Em
bassy, and Mrs. Cloman; Isaac Sellgman. Rich
ard A Wes=tacott. Deputy American Consul
General : Sir Joseph and Lady Lawrence and Mr.
and Mrs. H. Gordon Selfridge.
Mr. Reid's speech was received with great en
thusiasm. He paid:
"Some one said to me, as I was starting for
this dinner, 'You will have to be a Mark Tap
ley to-night, cheerful under difficulties.' That
was only an exaggerated way of saying that
we will have to be American as usual. Nothing
rould be more un-American than to be down
cast over temporary discouragements, or to
despair of the Republic because some of our
people, unhappily, have lost their money almost
as fast as they had made it. We 'have Been
*<jcb thing? before, and it was worse when
the country was not half so big or half so rich
as it is now. and we have not forgotten how
we came out of them."
Continuing-. Mr. Reid said he was reminded
of a motto he had seen once on a sundial,
"Transeunt Nubes Manet Coelum." which, freely
translated, means, "Wo aro In a bit of a fix.
but »c shall soon b« out of it again." "When
the clouds roll by," Mr. Reid then said, "it
will be peen that we still have the country that
Providence gave us; that we still have a people,
end that we still have the, boundless opportuni
ties which, after every reverse In the past, have
invariably speedily lifted us higher and yet
higher. Given these, what American fears the
result?
In most respects our country never has been
in a happier position than to-day. It is not
merely at peace, but on terms of absolute good
will with all the world. The whole sensational
press -was unable to make a ripple In our cor
dial relations with that great friendly people in
the Farther East whom wo had the honor of
firs* introducing to the Western World. Even
that spirited little colony beyond our northern
frontier, Newfoundland, has good naturedly
agreed to arbitrate things Instead of going to
war with us, and however this arbitration turns
out we shall, on either side of the border, take
It smiling after the habit of our race."
The Ambassador then paid a tribute to tho
new star in the flag. Oklahoma, and -said the,
next President would be the head of forty-six
ftates, with a population of 100.000.000 before
the close, of his term. Mr. Reid then related
the history of Thanksgiving Day, and eloquent
ly concluded his remarks with these words:
"The men of to-day have not lost the faith
of their fathers, and they are not unworthy
the Inheritance they have received. They have
seen clouds before, but to-day they will keep
the feast with hearts as brave and glad as those
of the Plymouth Pilgrims or the heroes of the
Civil War."
Field Marshal White In toasting President
Roosevelt, spoke of him as one whose honesty
and etrenuosity appealed strongly to English
man.
Lord Justice John Fletcher Moulton, one of
the most eloquent speakers In London, toasted
the American Ambassador, referring to him as
an example of the highest type of journalist.
He praised the restraint the American news
papers exhibited during the financial crisis In
that country.
Sir George Dashwood Taubman Goldie. presi
dent of the Royal . Geographical Society, re
sponded to "Our Guests."

recently went abroad to accept the title of Baron
Fairfax, arrived here yesterday on the White Star
uar Adriatic. He confirmed the report that be

train bearing Secretary Taft and his party to
Moscow toasts were drunk to-day to President
Roosevelt and Emperor Nicholas. In honor of
Thanksgiving the Russian passengers presented
an elaborate cake bearing Russian and American
Oaga to the American Secretary of War.
In responding to the pres«*utatlon speech
Becretary Taft said that he was impressed with
the resources and fertility of Siberia and the
appearance and the character of the people. He
prophesied a future development for Siberia
as great a.« and similar to that of the American
Western states, and said he believed that it would
become the leading section of the country in
agriculture. He waa pleased with his long
anticipated visit to Russia and was sorry that
iie could not lengthen It.

Rt noon, local time.
Ft. Petersburg, Nov. 28.— As a result of the
fact that Washington has sent a cable message
to Secretary Taft to hasten his return to the
United States, the Secretary, who is due at Mos
cow next Saturday, has sent a telegram to
Montgomery Schuyler, jr.. tho American charge
d'affaires, asking him. if possible, to arrange
the audience with Emperor Nicholas so as to
enable Mr. Taft to leave St. Petersburg on the
afternoon of December 4 instead of tho night
of December 5, as provided for in the original
schedule.
Mr. Taft says that he must catch the. steamer
President Grant, which Fails from Hamburg on
December 7. and that If he leaves St. Peters
burg on the sth oven the closest connections
will hardly permit him to reach Hamburg in
time.
The visit of Secretary Taft has given an Im
petus to the stream of Russians who come to
the American Embassy to volunteer their ser
vices for the supposedly impending Japanese-
American war. This idea has taken such a firm
hold on tliv people that a number of officers
even had made plans to organize cor-.fanies of
volunteer?. Mr. Schuyler is resorting to the
Russian press to deny the possibility of any
trouble with Japan.
The most absurd stories in regard to Secre
tary TaftH mission to Russia are In general cir
culation. As an example, there Is published
a report that the Secretary la authorized to ar
range for the stationing of two Russian army
corps In the Philippine Islands and one Amer
ican corps at Vladivostok, and that he already
has engaged a number of Russian officers at
high salaries for this service.

NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29. 1907.
THIS ACTOR A DUKE.
Can Prove His Descent from
Byron's "Don Juan."
King Alfonso is reported by a number of Aus
trian, French and English newspapers to have re
cently honored the Spanish stage by conferring
the grandezza and the title of count upon Don
Fernando de Mendoza. There is no truth in this
story, for the very simple reason that Don Fer
nando, a lineal descendant of the Don Juan of
Byron's great poem, has possessed the grandezza
by right of inheritance and of royal recognition
ever since he attained manhood, and that he like
wise owes to Inheritance the titles of Count of
Lalalng In Belgium and in Spain, and of Marquis
of Fontnnar and of Duke of Balazote in the peer
age of the land of his birth. Moreover, he is by
his first marriage a son-in-law of that famous
Marshal Serrano. Duke de la Torre, who on sev
eral occasions was regent of the Kingdom of Spain
and at one time President of the Spanish Republic,
and who, moreover, is generally believed to have
been the real father of Alfonso XII.
In the BO'S one of the most celebrated salons at
Madrid was that of the Dachess de la Torre, and aa
her young daughter Dona Ventura was passionately
fond of acting she caused a private theatre to be
constructed in one of the huge state apartments on
the ground floor of her palace, where, throughout
the season, a succession of amateur theatrical per
formances were given, in which the leading mem
bers of the Spanish aristocracy took part. In honor
of the young girl it received the name of the Teatro
Venturo. and among the principal stars cf the
masculine persuasion was Don Fernando Mendoza,
then the acknowledged leader of the golden youth
of Madrid, possessed of Illustrious birth and of ■
large fortune. Together with Dona Ventura he
gave that charming comedy of the seventeenth
century. "El VergonsoM en Palacio" (The Bash
ful Youth in the Palace), wherein the heroine, in
order to encourage her timid lover, protends to be
asleep, and in her dream discloses her love for him.
The play turned Into reality. Don Fernando and
Dona Ventura were married, royalty and all the
grandezza of Spain being present at tho wedding.
But their happiness lasted only for a brief time,
and within a couple of years Don Fernando was a
'widower.
During their married life they had both been ter
ribly extravagant. She had never known the value
of money, while he idolized her to such an extent
that It was impossible for him to refuse her any
thing, and when ho was left alone be found him
self bereft not only of wife but also of fortune.
His widowed mother-in-law, the Duchess de la
Torre, was a frightfully Imperious woman, who
coold never forget that she had been the. first lady
of the land In Spain, and who. moreover, was ad
dicted In an extraordinary degree not merely to
gambling at cards but also to gambling on the
Stock Exchange, and was consequently, In spite of
her wealth, frequently in need of money. It was
monetary questions and her imperious manner that
led to a quarrel between herself and her son-in
law. and declining -with all tho pride of a true
hidalgo to be a dependent on her bounty he set
to work to earn his own living. His successes be
fore the footlights as nn amateur naturally turned
his thoughts to the Mage, which he now Joined In
a professional capacity, and ere lone: ho had be
come the leading Spanish actor and the star of the
Teatro Bspaflol, which is the counterpart at Madrid
of the Comedle Franchise at Paris.
HIS SISTER TUB DUCHESS OF TETUAN.
Frequently thrown Into contact there with the
groat Spanish actress Maria Guerrero, who pos
sesses ell the dramatic genius an.i wonderful voice
of Barafa Bernbardt, with an Infinitely greater
amount of beauty and an unblemished character,
Dob Fernando fell In love with her ami married
her, She becoming through the union a duchess, a
marquise, a countess, a Rrande^ee and an excel
lency, while- he, through her advice «nd thank* to
her tuition, became a still greater actor. It speaks
well for the Spanish aristocracy that In spite of
their notorious pride they should never havo al
tered their attitude toward Don Fernando, who has
never bad to suffer In a social way for Joining the
stage, and who has never ceased to belong to the
principal clubs of Madrid. Naturally, he does not
make use of his titles, either for profeaslonal pur
poses or, for the matter of that. In society. Few
of the members of the grandezza do. They prefer
to be known by their Christian names and patro
nymics, with the prefix of "Don," leaving to th»
mushroom nobility th« satisfaction of flourishing
their newly acquired titular distinctions. He is
known everywhere ns Don Fernando; his wife ad
dressed aa Dona Maria, and known as La Guerrero,
while their company, with which they have visited
Paris, Cuba and the Spanish speaking republics of
America, has been dubbed with the name of the
"Teatro dea Hidalgos." They have two sons, and
are leading an extremely happy life. His brother,
Don Mariano, haa Joined him on the stage, and Is a
member of his company, only Instead of using his
patronymic Of Mendoza ho has assumed the family
name of his mother. Aguado. Before becoming an
actor he was one of the officials of the Department
of Public "Works at Madrid, and like bis elder
brother belongs to the Marirliene clubs. One of
their eistei-H is the Duchess of Tetuan. the duke
being the eldest son of that Duke of Tetuan who
was Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time of the
Spanish-American War in 1&98 and a grandson of
the famous Field Marshal O'Donnell who was so
many times dictator and Prim* Minister of Spain.
Another slater is the Comteese do San Luis. o»"» of
the most charming, popular and still beautiful
gr*>Ht ladies of the Madrtllne aristocracy.
THE ORIGINAL OF "DON JIAN.-
Both brothers, that Is to say. DOB Fernando
Mendoza. und Don Marino Aguado. the actors, and
their flsters. the Duchess of Tetuaa and the
countess of Bu Luis. are. aa 1 Lav., mentioned
above, tho lineal descendants of "Don Jus». the
hero of Lord Byron's poem, und who has furnished
Inspiration to so many bards for the last two hun
dred yars His real name waa Don Juan Manara
y Mendoza. and he was born at Seville la 1626. His
parents had shortly before moved from Corsica
to Seville. They were very rich. Tho fortune of
the Manaras had been amassed In the Orient, and
was sa considerable that when Don Mattco
Manara, Count de Lera. loaned his sovereign a
sum equivalent to $1,000,000 of American money, or
which '"an official record exists to-day, he was
able to K«k the monarch whether he preferred to
have It in gold or In silver. It Is needles* to say
that the members of the Manara family bad tor
routuries marked their way with murder and
drenched It with blood, having been the terrors of
husbands and lovers
The "Don Juan" of the poem had Inherited all
the passions of his ancestors, together with ex
traordinary comeliness and wit and cunning. It is
unnecessary for me to recall here the shocking
record of his crimes, of the women whom he
ruined, and of the, men whom he killed But at
last be met his fate. He was a little over thirty
when he met for the- first time and fell deeply
In love with Glrollma Mendoza, his second cousin-
He married her. and for five years their happiness
was complete. Then she sickened and died. So
Kreat wn» hlB grW that his mind gave way, and
he became haunted with all sorts of terrible
hallucinations. One day he met a funeral and at
tacked tho mourners, endeavoring to burst open
the coffin, insisting that (Mrollma had been put
into It alive. Another day a woman having the
pa.it and figure of his wife passed him. and sud
denly taking hold of her arm he made her turn
briskly, and then fell Into a swoon crying. "Her
face in already a skeleton."
Finally his madness disappeared, and gave way
to quiet and deep sadness, which led to his devot
ing the remainder of his life to deeds of charity.
Indeed, ho founded that order of the Brothers
of Mercy, which exists to this day for the pur
pose of bringing comfort and relief to tl*a destitute
and to the criminals, especially at the time of
their death. It was ho who took charge of the
Interment of all those who hed been put to death
by the law, or else had died destitute, in many
cases burying them with hla own hands. It was
he, too, who gave orders and directions for the
celebrated and frightful picture by Valdo Leal,
called "The Triumph of Death." which Is in the
museum at Madrid, and of which Murlllo is said
to have remarked: "You cannot look at It without
having your handkerchief near at hand." When
he died, his own body, dsprlved of shroud and
cotlin, according to his -vlll, was followed to the
grave he had dug for himself by a string of beg
gar?, of cripples and of sick, whose voices ac
cording to contemporaries seemed to cry to Heaven
for the forgiveness of the sins of his youth and
for the everlasting beatitude of a saint. He had
one son by his marriage with Girolima. who. after
he became Insane, was . taken charge of by his
parents and those of his wife, tad it U train this
son that Don Fernando, his brother, and his sis
ters, are lineally descended.
Frequent efforts have been made at Rome 'n
order to secure the canonization of Don Juan for
th« saintly character of his life after the loss of
his wife, and for his ser\lces in founding the
great religious order of the Brothers of Mercy.
But the Vatican, in spite of its good will, has al
ways found :in insuperable obstacle in the appalling 1
piece of perversity of which he rendered himself
guilty at Calvi. in Corsica, and which caused his
lovely victim, who had ignored the fact that they
were too closely related, to lose first her reason
and then her life.
CZAR AS A POET.
■While Nicholas II is Justly credited with the
possession of a number of accomplishments, only
few people outside the. court circles of Europe are
aware that he Is a poet of no mean order, and that
ha has had published, under the pseudonym of
"Olaf." a volume of verses which are character
ized by a tone of melancholy and a sort of over
whelming sense of fatalism. Several of them
have been set to music by his wife's only
brother, the reigning- Grartk Duke of Hesse, who
has caught their spirit, and who has furnished
them with strains the plaintive character of which
seems thoroughly in keeping with the words.
Others have been set to music by the Czar him
self, and the Empress, who Is a superb pianist,
and who possesses a beautiful voice. Is fond of
playing and singing them. The Czar himself sings
well, and has a good tenor voice, and
he plays several Instruments. Including the
national balalaika, a sort of Russian gui
tar, and aso the violin, of which he pos
sesses some magnificent specimens. Indeed. I
daresay some of my readers may recall the fact
that two or three years ago the services of his
diplomatics and consular representatives abroad,
as well as of some of the leading private de
tective agencies in this country and in Europe,
were Invoked for the purpose of recovering a favor
ite Stradlvarius which had been stolen from his
palace at Peterhof. Ho speaks French, like his
countrymen, with great purity and correctness.
German without any accent, while his English
is so flawless and fluent that it would enable
him to pass anywhere for a native English
man or American. I may add that he plays an
excellent game of tennis, swims and rides well,
and pulls a good oar In fact, all the courting
of his wife was done while sculling her about on
the Thames, when she was staying with her mar
ried sister. Princess Iconise of Battenberg. at the
country place which the latter had taken on the
river.
CRE-WB HOUSE FOR SALE.
Lord <~rewe, having now marrl«»d oft all his three
daughters by his first marriage, and having no
Issue by his second wife. I*ady Margaret Primrose,
daughter of Lord Rosebery, has decided to sell his
London mansion— Crewe House — and unless a pur
chaser is found between now and February It will
be disposed of in that month by public auction.
Lord Crowe bought It only about nine or ten years
ago. for $500,000. and Immediately Invested It with
his own name, in lieu or that of Wliarncliffe House.
by which It had been known for over a hundred
years. In fact, as Wharncllffe House it played
quit* an important roll in the social and political
world of England during the latter part of the
eighteenth and the greater part of the. nineteenth
centuries, and may be Bald to have enjoyed alto
gether European fame.
It Is a typical Georgian house; it was built In the
reign of George 11. before Mayfalr had become
the. centre of the fashionable world, and Is a low
pitched, wide fronted mansion, with lonic columns,
standing in the midst of spacious grounds* tho vel
vety lawns of which are shaded by majesties trees,
and I»t cut off from the busy traffic of the street
by a brick wall, fronted by a green hedge, which It
almost conceals. The latter, in connection with the
quaint looking porter's lodge, all covered with flow
ers and creepers, to the right of the great gates,
give the entire place a rural aspect, which con
trasts In a rather graceful fashion with the huge
white carved stone palace of the Duchess of Marl
borough, known as Sunderland House, Just across
the way.

BOTH SURVIVE BROKEN NECKS.
Two Montclair Men Enjoy Useful livca
Despite Injuries.
Montclair. N. J.« Nov. IS (Special).— Walter
Duryea and Ernest C. Hlnck. of Montclair, have
both survived broken necks. Mr. Duryea. who Is a
son of the starch manufacturer of that name,
fractured his vertebra while diving In shallow
water. His life was despaired of for a long time.
but under skilful surgery he regained all his fac
ulties except the use of his lower limbs. He has a
handsome homo In Lorraine avenue, where he
upends much of his time. He Is an ardent auto
moblllst. and owns a yacht. In which he makes
long cruises.
Ernest C. Hlnk ts a well known real estate dealer,
and his case is even more extraordinary than that
of Mr. Duryea. Mr. Hlnk sustained his Injury In a
manner similar to that of Mr. Duryea, and for
weeks was suspended by weights. The radical
treatment proved beneficial, for ultimately he re
covered the use of his limbs. While his muscular
movement is not entirely normal, he Is able to
move about wtth ease, and conducts successfully a
business which requires great activity.
TUBERCULAR TESTS ON STUDENTS.
Ann Arbor, Mich.. Nov. S3.— Sixty senior law stu
dents of the University of Michigan have sub
jected themselves to the new "ophthalmo tuber
culin test" to determine whether there are any
tubercular *erm3 In the body. The liquid Is pre
pared from clean cultures of the tubercle bacillus,
but precipitated in alcohol, and instead of being
injected It is dropped into the subject's eye. If the
disease exists tn the body tt will be manifested tn
eight or ten hours. Of the students treated not
one showed any reaction, while on patients in the
hospital the tests were taslly potiUve,
MI'S If.
AN IRISH SINGER OF SONGS.
The suddenness and the manner In which Mr.
Denis O'Sullivan. who gave a concert In Carnegie
Hall last night before he had had an opportunity
to get rid of his sea legs, was precipitated upon
the public of New York were more suggestive of
politics than art. Nobody was given an oppor
tunity to learn who Mr. O'Sullivan was or what
he could do. but there waa a revolutionary air
about his name, and the few announcements pro
mulgated over *b9 signatures of a redoubtable
committee suggested a fund for Irish agitation at
the least.
But the disclosures made at the concert were of
the most peaceful and amiable sort. Mr. O'Sullivan
Is a singer of songs (of Irish songs, in the first
Instance, It would appear, since the house bill
contained a note telling the audience how. in 1903.
and again In 1907. he had entertained the Irish
party in the House of Commons wtth some of the
songs that he sang last night), and one
quite out of the usual. His programme en
listed the services of the orchestra of the
6»th Regiment. N. O. N. V.. with its
bandmaster. William Bayne. and Victor Harris,
who played the pianoforte accompaniments, and
was of a singularly mixed character, put together,
very obviously, to show that Mr. O'Sullivan was
not wholly an Irish singer, but a singer of wide
sympathies and large abilities. Tet the Irish ele
ment dominated from the moment that the band
started the opening overture with the exquisite
old melody "The Coolin." down to "The Wearin"
of the Green" and Lover's "Low Backed Car."
Meanwhile Mr. O'Sullivan sang Loewe's "Glocken
thUrmer's Tochterlein" and Taub^rfs "Butzemann"
like a German, without a drop of Hibernian guile
in his constitution. The newcomer Is an artist
whose better acquaintance, the lovers of song sing
ing In New York should be eager to cultivate. His
comic mnnntr is unctuous and irresistible, and hU
command of the artistic elements of singing thrice
admirable. A better kind of music than was ex
emplified in a large portion of his programme was
the only thing left to be desired by his thoroughly
delightful entertainment.
-MEFISTOFELE" AT THE METROPOLITAN.
There wan a repetition of Boito's "Meflstofele"
at the Metropolitan Opera House last night by all
th* artists who wero concerned In its production
last week. Th* performance was excellent In every
feature, but was received with singular apathy by
an audience- neither as numerous nor as brilliant in
appearance as that of any of the other subscrip
tion nights. The circumstance scarcely calls for
comment; as a rule holidays are not brilliant af
fairs at the. Metropolitan. The notable features
of the performance were the singing of Miss Far
rar and the acting of M. Challaplne. the former
worthy of all praise, the latter the occasion of
honest wonder because of its variety, plasticity,
imaginativeness and power, and regret because of
Its unnecessary vulgarity In the Brocken scene.
The present effort to popularize Bolto's "Mefls
tofele" Is the moat extraordinary In the history of
opera. In It paradox has certainly gone mad. Not
the prlma donna but the basso Is counted on to
mako a hit, and he not so much by his singing
and acting as by a disrobing act. Who would
ever have dreamed that "Thais' and "Meflstofele 1 *
had this common meeting ground and that it would
be contested In New York by a lady from Scotland
and a gentleman from Russia? A quarter of a cen
tury ago we were listening to "Meflstofele" for
the sake of Its effort to Interpret Goethe and tha
opportunity which It gave to Mrne. Nllsson to
look like a Greek goddess and sing like a seraph.
An old record happens to como to hand which has
contemporaneous Interest. It is The Tribune's re
view of the representation of the opera at the Met
ropolitan Opera House on December 5, 1883, when,
as few music patrons will be likely to remember.
Cleofonte Campanini. now the guiding spirit artis
tically of Mr. Hamraerstein's venture, conducted a
few performances at the Metropolitan Opera House.
Read, then; »
Mme. Nllsson Is even more closely Identified
with Bolto's Gretchen than with Gounod's Mar
fuerlte. , She has fixed. In Europe especially, the
ideal Helen of Troy, and It was she. we believe,
who started the questionable practice of hav
ing one performer Impersonate Jjoth Gretchen
and Helen. Bolto has left so little of Goethe's
village maiden that It does not make much dif
ference how the part Is acted, except in the
death scene, and that in a late moment to de
velop a character. But Helen is a character
that is cut to the very form of Mme. Nllsson
reral In beauty and carriage, soul-moving in
V £ ; * <ir< ' ', in poee and gesture. She fits into
th« fairest picture that a Greek lover can con
jure up in his fancy of '-the shore of Pineus
Hindus. Clear streams and thickets of laurel
and oleander; the moon at its zenith; to the left
a Doric temple; to the right greensward and
flowers." She moved through this part of the
opora last night like a veritable Hellenic queen.
The beauty, the majesty, the puissant charm of
a perfect woman of the classic type, all were
hers. In her performance, as In that of Cam
paninl, there wore evidences of unusual Interest
«nd a firm determination to make it a success.
Ho far as success was at their command they
had it. All their scenes went with warm fervor
and deep passion, and where there were short
comings they were duo to factors like the chorus,
which, having a high goal to reach, fell shorter
of It than usual. Inefficiency In the choral de
partment was really the only cause of disap
pointment, and It affected only th« prologue,
which, while It has no place In opera at aIL Is
nevertheless the most original and striking part
of Sl*nor Bolto a creation. Slgnor Campanini was
the Faust, whom we have seen in the opera be
fore, but fired with a greater degree of enthusi
asm than ever. Not only was he sln«lng the op«-»
which he was chiefly Instrumental In glvln* to
the English and American people, but he was
singing it tinder th* direction of a brother In
whom he has a proud and affectionate Interest.
This brother acquitted himself with marked
en S &V ncln rerfect familiarity with the acore
and holding all the factors in absolute command
H. E. K.
"FAUST- AT THE MANHATTAN.
Gounod s "Faust" shares with Verdi's "AWa."
nieet's "Carmen" ar.d a few other operas a qual
ity that has doubtless contributed Importantly tr>
its enormous popularity, namely, a certain resili
ency and effectiveness under nearly any condition*
of performance. "Faust" has been UM operatic
meeting ground rf half the great Binders In Chris
tendom, and of more than that proportion of th*
poor ones, yet It Is altogether likely that whatever
the artistic level of Its presentation this work has
scarcely ever failed to give abundant pleasure to
Its hearers. It iv hard to Imagine that Gounod's
score will ever take a place among those master
works so hedged about with great tradition that
none but adepts dare attempt to perform them;
rather will "Faust" go down to remembrance as an
opera accessible to the humblest yet worthy of the
most skilful and sympathetic interpreters.
Many of last night's auditors at the Manhattan
Opera House must have heard ••Faust" given wtth
far more distinction, both histrionic and musirn!.
than It was on this occasion by Mr. Hammersteln's
singers, but there was applause enough and to
spare for any revelation that might have, been
vouchsafed. There were no features of command
ins power or beauty In this presentation, save the
conducting of Mr. C'ampunini (which had tts occa
sional limitations, as in ths evidently intentional
roughnesses of attack by the heavy strings, in the
Interludes between the stansaa of the "King ot
tfhule"). Mr. Zenatello sang with unflagging zeal,
and he often uttered tones of sustained luscloua
ness. but there was wanting in his "Faust" the
final touch of aristocratic pese and diction. Mtsa
Zeppilll. who sang Marguerite for the first ttnn
here was earnest but commonplace. In voice and
acting while Mr. Dldur burdened with too much
meaningless detail a Mephlsto that otherwise had
a trood deal to recommend it to consideration. But
the large audience enjoyed every minute and every
measure and for this the composer himself, nearly
fifty years ego. was mainly responsible.
ALBANI INDISPOSED.
Owing to the Illness of Albani. "Faust" will
be sung at the Manhattan Opera House to-night
Instead of "Ernanl." which was announced. Zen
atello will be in the cast and will sing aga'n
to-morrow night In "ATda." It Is announced
that Albanl's illness 1« not of % serious nature.

APPLICATIONS FOR HELP INCREASE.
Association for Improving Condition of Poor
Begins to Feel Crisis.
The New York Association for Improving' th»
Condition of the Pr announces that It Is al
ready beginning to fee! the effect of the finan
cial trouble through an increased number of ap
plications for relief. The dismissal of servants
by wealthy families and by poorer ones where
the housewife now attempts to do her own kitchen
work and the closing of factories are two of the
things, that have contributed to make the de
mands on the society greater.
The society finds that the new cases are- th»
hardest to deal with, for while It may help to
put a cripple on his feet by sending Ml to a
hospital, where he can get In condition to work
again. It cannot find work for the unemployed.
It cannot be said at present how much the.
financial conditions will affect the contributions
to the society. «
R. Fulton Cutting, Its president, has announced
that last year the department of relief assisted
2.655 families and over 34.000 Individual* To this
end the society has employed 23 relief visitors. 2
cooking teachers and 5 nurses. The sewing bu
