KEY BOW American! going abroad the coming sum mer must remember that thore will be no Bayreuth festival this year. In its place there will bo a Wagner festival In London In May and June, under tho dlroctlon of Jlr. Anton Scidl, and with the greatest oasts ever heard of ln the Nlbelung Tetral ogy. Two series arc to be given, but the present Indications are that Americans desiring to hear these performances will do well to arrange with London friends to have the matter attended to at once. The situation Is eloquently summed up In the following from tha London Dally News: "It Is doubtful whether tho oldest opera toer can recollect an announcement which SS excited such extraordinary Interest In musical circles as that of the two Wagnet eyries at Covent Garden. Wo first printed details of the performance and of the cast only a fortnight ago, and the house Is even now almost sold out, more than four months before tho proposed representa tions can take place. The opera box office Is, ot course, not yet opened, and so far as these performances aro concerned, It prob ably never will be. The Covent Garden subscribers have boon duly cared for by Mr. Forsyth, but otherwise the matter has been In tho hands of Mr. Schulz Curtlus. Yesterday that gentleman was able to announce that all the seats at his disposal In the balcony and amphitheater stalls had been applied for twice over within twenty four hours. Today letters of regret will be posted, with a bare intimation that If a reply be sent by return Mr. Curtlus may ■till manage to allot scats ln the orches tral stalls. Stalls are, however, being rap- Idly taken up by the libraries, and there Is no question that before next Juno they will command very high premiums." 000 Miss Alice Beach McComas, the talented daughter of Judge McComas of this city, Is rapidly establishing an enviable reputa tion for herself as a planiste. Miss McCo mas has been engaged for Plotro Marino's concerts In San Francisco. The first of these was given last Wednesday. Marino Is said to have made wonderful progress during his two years' tuition with YfßJ'e, and the critics speak of his playing ln the highest terms. At Wednesday's concert Miss McComas played Chopin's F sharp nocturne, Liszt's "Nightingale" and E mi nor "Folonalse." - 000 The legal right of a tenor to refuse to sing more than four times a week has been asserted by Broullk, who was summarily dismissed by the management of the Na tional opera at Budapesth a month or so ago. After his dismissal the tenor ap pealed to the courts of his country, nnd. us ■ result, has been awarded 25,000 francs and the cost of his action and his position with the National opera. The decision was given on tho gronud that it was Injurious to the voice to sing four Wagner operas within the space of seven days. 000 A good story is told of Brahms father, who was a contra-bass player In a Ham burg orchestra. One day the conductor re marked thut he was playing too loudly, whereupon old man Brahms retorted: "Herr Capellmelster, this Is my contra bass, I want you to understand, and I shall play on it as loudly as I please." 000 Here is what Martin Luther thought of music; I have always loved music, and I would not give away for a great deal the little that I know. I am not at my ease with those who have a contempt for music. Muslo Is like a discipline—lt makes men sweeter, more virtuous and wiser. One can be sure of finding the germs pf a goodly number of virtues in the hearts nf those who love music, but those who have no taste for it I value ns I value a stick or a ■tone. I pretend, and I declare It without shame, thnt after theology there Is no art comparable to music. When natural music Is perfected by art, we see, as fur>as we are able, tho great and perfect wisdom of God in His tine work of music. 000 From news received here last week our friends of the Del Conte Opera Co. have again como to grief, but the difference which was between some of the leading members of the company and their manag er may have been once more repaired. The Italian singers made a big "jump" from Helena, Mont., to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and tn tho latter place sang to crowded houses. They then went to Minneapolis, where the trouble occurred. Mrs. Geneva Johnston Bishop has been traveling with the company. 000 W. S. Young of San Dlcgo, who was to have been director-pf the newly organised Mendelssohn club of men's voices, has ac cepted an offer in tho east. Harley Hamil ton has been selected lo till the place, and work will commence next Thursday. The rehearsals will be held once n week in the Southern California music hall. It is In tended that the rehearsing shall be most thorough before the first concert, which will probably bo given in June at Simpson tabernacle. 000 Los Angeles may he treated to a visit from the famous Knelsel Quartet of Bos ton some time In May. The quartet Is com posed of leading members of the Boston Symphony orchestra. Their concerts in the east have attracted much attention and It is to be hoped the western tour will be consummated.

Stray Chorda . Siegfried Wagner Is at prosent ln Rome, where he Is working on a comlo opera. The libretto of It Is founded on one of the stories of tho thirty years' war. It is a fearful name, but the people nf Weimar must get used to It, for Herr Ku zynowsky has been engaged at the theater there to succeed Stavenhagen as kepell melster. Faderewskl Is 111 again with Influenza. His Illness has entirely disarranged his plans, and (or the time being his opera has been abandoned, and he has given up his tour through Spain and Scandinavia. Herr Anton Seldl has been asked to ac cept the conductorshlp of tho Royal Opera at Berlin. He, It Is said, will accept the offer If the efforts now being made to sub sidize a permanent orchestra ln New York fall. Tho fourth of the series of recitals at the Loa Angeles conservatory of music and arts was given on Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. hall by Miss Alley C. Mott, pl aniste, a member of the sliver medal class of June, '98. Earl B. Valentine, violinist, assisted. The latest freak Ift the musical world Is a "lady tenor." Continental papers an nounce that Frau Corts-Golssler has been engaged at the Royal opera, Stockholm, as a tenor, and add Ihat she Is the only female tenor on the boards. It is said that the lady proposes to visit London ln the summer. Fifteen years ago Patti used to be called the great fareweller, because she had said good-bye to the public so often. She Is now 66 years old, and farewell rumors are again circulated In England: but it Is said that she has contracts extending to the end of the century, and Intends to fulfill them. She expects to visit America once more. It will lie money ln her purse. John Philip Sousa, the famous musician and composer, has an income of $25,000 a year from his compositions. It Is said he comes naturally by his musical ability, hla father being a Spanish musician of some note. His mother was a native of Mary land and he was born In Washington, where he conducted the Marino band con certs a few years ago at a salary of $30 a week. A discharged trumpeter took lately In an Italian theater this sour vengeance. The opera was "Carmen." He took his seat Where he could be seen by his late col leagues, his brothers-ln-wind. As soon as the conductor waved his haton the dis charged one took a lemon from his pocket and began to suck It slowly. Mouths began to water. There was such false Intonation, there were so many false notes, that the uudiencc hissed furiously. A Btrungo Item comes from Moscow con corning a very wealthy Russian who seems to be crazed upon the music of "Rigoletto." According to the story, ho proposes, at a cost of $tWoll, to construct a tiny theater Where Verdi's opera ran be played by marionettes, and he hopes to Induce var ious eminent artists to sing tho vocal parts Into a phonograph so that they can be pro duced every night for his private delecta tion. HOW TEXAS GOT HER NICKNAME Suggested by the Single Star on Her Flag When a Republic Dallas, Tex.—M. S. Stokely of Dubuque, lowa, some time %f(o wrote to Governor Culberson, asking why Texas Is called the Lone Star state. The latter has answered the query in an elaborate letter, giving all the history hoarlng upon the subject. The governor states that there are only two accounts of tho origin of tho designation. One is that Henry Smith, the tirst chiel executive of the Texas republic, having no seal with which to stamp official docu ments, cut a brass button from his coat, on which was engraved a star, and used this as a seal. Another, supported by John Henry llrown, the Texas historian, and Governor Culberson, is that the lone star was chosen by the young republic in con trast to tho constellation used by the United States. The governor concludes: "The first congress of the republic of Texas met Ooctober 3. 1836, and during the session adopted a flag and a seal, which aro those now In use by the stute. The flag ts of red, whito and blue, with a live-pointed single star of white, and the seal is a star surrounded with a wreath of laurel and oak. The conclusion Is entirely reasonable and logical that the flag nnd seal of Texas were originally suggested by those flags of her revolutionary war, inspired them selves by tho American Insignia of sover eignty, and that the designation of the Lone Star state comes from the use of a single star on her standard."

MJUO riEKALDi SUINUAY ftTOKINTTHU, WIAKCW 0, lUTO THE MORALIST "Ye Must Be Born Again." An Original Conceit Written for The Herald by Kinnosuke of Japan "Way back yonder, before the Calendar was born," so began the reputed story tell er ln a bear skin (which means a hunter). The heavens and earth pricked their ears. The night was still. And a camp-fire—tho most ill-mannered of all the uncouth on earth—danced on the smiling faces of halt a dozen hunters, chuckled way down ln Its stomach, and said: Listen now, some thing good is a-coming!" Sure enough, a story did flow from the Hps of the old man, to the cadence of a mountuln stream, who sang sweetly by ln distance. This is the story: "I am awfully tired," sighed Mr. Saru, the monkey. Thun he chuckled, squawked, stormed fearfully. He culled Mr. Gya, the big snake, names. And used a vast quan tity ot unholy language—almost enough to make himself a hero ln the eyes of tho young Americans. And who can blame him? This gentleman was a monkey of family. And Mr. Qya paid him a cordial visit last night, rather out of calling hours, and made three of Mr. Sara's babies troop down the horny road to his stomach. Mr. Gya, of scaly, black hauberk, thanked Mr. Saru. And Mr. Suru said: "Not at nil. Come again. We are delighted to have you," and many other things, just to show his manners (nothing hypocritical about tbls, you understand), "and —and—and " then he shook like an autumnal leaf and hugged his wife. Now, Mrs. Saru was a dear, little creat ure, of liberal education —of wide reading— and of good memory—the help ln the time of need to Mr. Suru, as all the wives should be and are not. "Precious darling, the life of my soul, my dear, dear husband!" sobbed Mrs. Saru, the pride of Monkey tribe. Ana her hus band listened, for he knew the oracle was about to speak. "Dearest light of my heart! Suppose— suppose we become Mr. Htto, the human." "What wife! that ridiculous, naked, black-headed beast?" sniggered Mr. Saru, and hugged his stomach and laughed huge ly till tears coursed freely—lf three hours had scarcely passed sln?e the loss of their babies. But he repented. For he saw thut hurt his wife's feeling. Then Mrs. Saru—who, after the manner of all the womenfolks, was a bjg hero worshiper—expatiated like a balloon over tho merits of Mr. Hlto, the human. She told all—how Mr. Hlto had pinned Mr. Gya once wlthanarrow; howhehad chased their neighbor, Mr. Shika, the deer; how he had whipped Mr. Inu, the dog, who hud cow ered, whined, salaamed, like a coward, at his feet, and other things without number. "Well, wife, I am ready—l am ln with you," suid her husband, quite squelched. And Mrs. Saru grinned quite complacent ly. She knew—through not a few experi ments of her own—that man Is a toy of woman. "But how—how are wo to become Mr. Hlto?" "That Indeed, my dear husband, Is the point," returned Mrs. Saru. "We can walk on our hind legs and straight up, as Mr. Hlto, the human, can, only a least little bit more practice would make us stralght er." Her husband nodded assent. "Wo can laugh, and as for talking," posited Mrs. Saru, with great emphasis, "we can out-talk Hito-folks at any time." Mrs. Saru's knowledge—although a won derful woman—was somewhat limited on this point. "Now, the only thing that we differ radically from Mr. Hito is our hair," concluded Mrs. Saru. "Take off this fur overcoat, wife?" "Yes, and the tail. But we tun coll that under our seat, that is. If It hurts too much to cut It oft," said Mrs. Saru. "But, again, how are we going to take the hair off?" "Pull them off one by one," suggested Mrs. Saru. And, being a wise woman, she watched the effect of that novel process upon her husbuud. Mr. Saru caught a hair on his hand be tween his fingers and gave a jerk. "A— A—llll—ta—tata—ta!" screamed Mr. Saru, and twirled all over the place as if a mountain was about to fall square upon his head. Meanwhile his wife chuckled way down in her gullet and said most charmingly: "My darling, how womanish!" Then Mrs. Saru suggested that they should go to the sharp edge of a rock and polish off their hair—no pain in that, she assured her husband. Down they started Into the valley In the greatest good humor in the world. They tolled steadily. Now, Mrs. Saru know her husband's weakness—let none think tho same aloud in her presence, for she would die lighting against any one who thinks that her darling is not perfuc- Hon Incarnate—that his mind Is very vag abondlsh. So she would sing, lest he might become weary of that vital undertaking: "O, where are my babies? O, where are my babies? Tho winds that hang on the vines Tell mo where my babies are." "Suppose wo have a little recess," put ln Mrs. Saru, as tho twilight began to dream abroad. "No," said her husband, "the business Is too urgent." A few minutes later the ami able, the most progressive pair of monkeys rolled on the ground from sheer exhaustion und had glorious dreams. "How lovely!" said Mrs. Saru the next morning, loud enough to wake up her hus bund, and contemplated him through her narrowly closed eyelids—which is the mask a soul in ecstatic admiration takes. Thu sun was quite up when Mr. Saru heard his wife and woke, und fell vacantly perusing his fond wife. He felt stiff and sore. "If 1 am lovely, the rubbing und bruising of yes terday must have left un entirely different print on me from what they did on you, my poor wife," thought he. He did not tell his wlfo so. He showed his good breeding. He knew that It is uncouth to speak anything detrimental about the looks of women folks. All the day they worked hard. They were rather extravagant in the matter of bathing—but. it was in Japan. And then It was of downright necessity. They be- camo coated with blood and had to jump into a pond. The next day came. And they were awfully stiff. But Mr. Saru was ashamed to say so to his wife, for she lauded him to the skies for his supple graces. The work went on. Screaming, squeaking, shaffllng, shambling along, till they fell fainting at even-tide. The autumn had set ln ln earnest. The heavy frost glorified the withering earth. And moun tains of tinted loaves said to the sun every morning: "Don't we look like big coeoanut cakes? Come and taste!" A woman went out to gather her faggot one morning. She came horne —but without any faggot on her back. But with a very heavy burden on her heart. And fell across tho threshold of her hut almost as soon as her shadow did. "What's the mutter, O, Nabe?" asked her husband, as ho picked her up. She was ns cold us frost. Site shook and her eyes were rolling and aflame, ready to shunt out like a Roman candle. He put her to bed. Now, there was a superstition at that time among the hunters that a man or a woman who saw a dead monkey at any time, but especially in the morning starting out to work, shall die with the death of the .very same day. The hunter went out to see what might have happened to his wife. Knowing thoroughly well where his wife hunts for her faggot, he climbed over a ledge. He said: "Ah, I see!" The two bloody, naked monkeys, Mr. Saru and his wife—cold, stiff, grim, with the diamond fringe of frost on their eye lashes and whiskers! They were immod estly naked. The sight was so completely out of harmony with the serene beauty of the autumnal morning that it shocked the sense of propriety even In the heart of the weather-beaten and sun-hardened moun taineer. There they were, tho most aspiring mon keys that ever lived! Them the hunter tlung Into the chasm below. Hollow sounds chasing down the deep, ghost fashion. The mountaineer was sad at heart. For he knew that the star of his lovo would flicker out at the setting of the sun that day. His wife, being a pious wo man, believed with all her heart the doom thut superstition put upon her. And the pity and the outrage of the whole business is that since the day of Mr. Saru and Mrs. Suru, Mr. Hlto, the human, Is studiously imitating their bril liant exumple. "Out of Sight" "Out of sight, out of mind?" No, I am not blind; But, dear, be so inclined As to put it aright— When you're out of my sight Then I'm out of my mind, . —Judge.
