This new work will be a distinct departure from the traditional subjects hitherto employed by librettists aud composers.

They both belong to Paris, where originated Iho free theaters as well as the "White Theater," and various other eccentric establishments devoted to the drama in one form or another.

Frank Losee has been engaged to impersonate, a confederate colonel, and Millie iSackett" for the part of an aged negro "mammy." The other roles will be in competent hands, and a thoroughly excellent scenic outfit is promised for the new drama. Henry J. Braker has sued the Connecticut Indemnity company of Waterbury fir the amount of an insurance policy held by him on the life of the late Alexander Herrmann.

The insurance company contend that no proofs of death have been filed, that the plaintiff has declined to sign affidavits of such proofs, aud that the claim cannot be settled in the circumstances.

This week "Our Regiment" and "Pink Dominoes" will be presented in he order in which they are here named. "Our PeWment" is one of the famous Daly comedies, "The Tassing Regiment," renamed. It is a very clever and amusing play and the company is entirely at home in it Ralph Cummings has in it a light comedy part that suits him perfectly and in which this accomplished actor will have fine opportunity to still further demonstrate his talent and versatility. "Pink Dominoes" is one of the first and one of the funniest of those rapidly-raoving farcical comedies of intrigue and complications that 'are such favorites with modern audiences. French in its origin it was first played, some twenty years ago, in England, at the Criterion theater, by Charles Wymlham and his company and ii Lin 1 ii ti r.k ater, New York, then its "palmy days.

It is saij the' undertaking can be successfully carried out with a loss of only a year. The other new scheme is a theater devoted to the production of dramas intended in treat of the condition of women in France and to raise the stmdard of their present situation. This means not so much the right to the suffrage as the freedom of women from all social and legal restraints which are imposed on them and not on men. Several plays wMj this purpose in view have been acted at the free theater already.

Tbi i.lan, like the other, is still in the air, and may remain there. Now that Yvette Guilbert is ready to be married, she declare that she will never again visit the United States. Her health has been poor since her return to Europe, and she attributes the fact to the fatigue of her last American trip. She is not likely, moreover, to attempt Camille, and so one of the most picturesque onslaughts contemplated on that familiar heroine has been averted. So long as sho remains on the stage Yvette will sing her couplets and remain unique in her own field, lu seems, however, to havo been true that she was under contract to Dr.

Max Schilter to act in serious dramas some day or another; but that business compact was broken with very little difficulty, aud there were no forfeits to be paid on either side Her contract with Marchand of Paris comes to an end in the year 11XH, and that the date which the singer has fixed for bin- retirement from public life.

Sarah Bernhardt was lately anxious to get jKises.siou of a play by Jean Richepin called "Iii Marty re-." It was accepted at the Theater Franca is some time ago, but the author grew weary of waiting for the production, and demanded that the manuscript be returned to him for Mine. Bernhardt. use.

Tlur nratter was compromised by a promise to act the play early next autumn at the Theater Franca is. Not only the actors, but the authors as well, fr-qnently grow weary of the deliberate methods of The house of Muliere. The latest play at this theater had rather an unusual ex'rieine. It was refused at the Odeon. afterward accepted at the Francais, and then, after three years of delay, produced with great care and expense.

It has seemingly succeedM fairly well, but made no profound impression. The fate of "Frede-pnde" was exactly the reverse of that which "For the Crown" and "The Vagrant," two of the most successful IKM-tie dramas recently given in Paris. They were tth rejected by the Theater Francais and later given nt the Odeon. Alfred In Bout, the author of "Frede-gonde." is a member of an old and wealthy French banking firm. He is, moreover.

one of the active mem Iters, and this tragedy in verse was written during his moments of leisure. That the playwright whose plays are g.Ktd need not wait for years for recognition is proved in the case of Theodore Burt Sayre. Mr. Sayre is only twenty-three years etld, and when he began storming the manager's rtals for considera tion of his pliys he possesM mo influence and was without friends in the profession. William Lackaye, however, has just purchased from him a four-act romantic drama which will produced early next season The play deals with, the adventures of a young Irish officer in the time of Napoleon, and will, it is said, give ample exercise to Mr.

Lack-aye's abilities ltoth as comedian anil us an emotional actor. Another of the products of Mr. Sayre's pen. "The Wife of Vil-longhby." was produced with success nt the Lyceum theater last season, and will lie played on the road next season as one eif the stock companies' permanent repertoire plays. A leading New York manager is giving very favorable consideration to still another of Mr.

Sayre's plays. "I have never exjterienel great difficulty in having my plays read," said Mr. Sayre, "except, of course, when I In-gaii to write. It didn't take the managers long to discover that my first efforts were not what they wanted, and I don't blame them for not rending them through. I believe that most of the talk about the difficulty of of getting a hearing cetmes from writers whcse dramatic work, through lack of experience or some other cause, shows on its face that it is not available."

Florrie West has finished her season with Tony Pastor and will sail for England in a few days. Miss West is popular on both sides of the ocean and is sure of a hearty welcome when she reaches England.

"Trilby," which lately had its first authorized iTf ornia nee in Berlin, is said to have met with rather a cool reception. The play succeeded famously with the public in Berlin, although the critics were mournful over it. The monument to Mrs. Siddons will soon be unveiled in Faddington in London. Henry Irving will preside.

Why might, we not have a star course of pedagogical concerts, graded so as to minister to the pleasure of the children, and at the same time giving them the opportunity of hearing music which is beyond their ability to perform? This is a work which the devotees of art in the school room might undertake. It would do as much for the aesthetic development of our children as will the decorating of the walls of the school rooms." Calve, it seems, disappointed her Indianapolis audience badly on the closing night of the May Muh'ic Festival in that city.

It seems that her voice began to lau her before th close of her allotted numbers, and, in response to loud demands for an encore. dio excised herself with a neat little speech. It the privilege, apparently, of prima donnas a well as pugilists, to make up in oratory for all other deficiencies.

About this time each year there is a large crop of bicycles called high grade," best on earth," which are forced by the public down to a price where they belong.

This is really not a reduction in the legitimate business. It is simply cheap bicycles being compelled to be sold at a cheap price, and the sale of such bicycles does not in any way affect Victor prices. If you can get only one or two years service out of a bicycle you may be sure that was all that was put into it. You cannot draw blood out of a turnip, but there are thousands of deluded victims of low priced bicycles who think they can get $50.00, $75.00 or $100.00 worth out of a $20.00 machine. When you pay $100 for a Victor you are getting what cannot be bought for less money.

You are getting from six to ten years of service and a good second-hand value at any time during that period you may want to dispose of it for a new mount. Why waste your money on rubbish You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." If you cannot afford to pay $100 for a bicycle, get a '96 Victor or Victoria, which costs only $75. Being fitted with '97 tires and handles makes it the nearest possible blood relation to the latest model. "The Victor Store" is a favorite resort for buyers of Kodaks, Cameras and all photographic goods, Bicycle Suits, Sweaters, Hose, Shoes and Sundries, and Baseball supplies.

Francesca Raberg, Miss Camille d'Estree, Miss Mary Reichardt, Bernard Rank and Adolph Philipp." About twenty years ago an English music publisher, in an interview with Brahms, suggested to him the advantage of having his music issued in England simultaneously with its publication in Germany. Brahms declined the proposal on the ground that he would then have to write two letters instead of one each time a iew work was issned. The place of meeting was at Hamburg, the birthplace of the composer, where he was temporarily sojourning.

Iu order to show that there was "no imimosity," Brahams was ex-ceolingly cordial and friendly to the English publisher and his companion. He not only took them, round to see all the sights of the aity, but insisted upon paying every expense attending this "personally conducted" excursion. The tenor Tamagno, who was not a success in New Y'ork, is receiving a night at German opera-houses. Further food for thought for those who think that America alone is called upon to pay dearly for great artists may be found in the fol-Kwing, also coiiied from London Truth: "The announcement that M. Paderewski will accept engagements for private parties thw season (at So.OiK) an evening) is a new departure, so far as he is concerned, though, con-sidering the large fees gained this way, it will astonish nobody.

The artists of the opera have, with two or three exceptions- the most notable being Mme. Patti and M. Jean de Reszke always ton available to accept (for a consideration) the "invitations" of wealthy hostesses. This sort of thing costs the hostess money, and indeed at one party last season, for a by no means ideal quartette of vocalists, a fee of a thousand guineas was demanded and accorded. To obtain the services of artists who rawly appear at private parties, and thereby to get a function talked about in society, larger sums would willingly be paid.

Even the rank and file who happen to be in the swim command heavy fees. One eminent English tenor (not Mr. Lloyd) earns more in a month of the fashionable season than in four months of the autumn, with the musical festivals thrown in. A thousand pounds has been offered Mme. Patti to sing in a private drawing-room, and now that, thanks to rapid fortunes made iu speculation, millionaires are lecoming rather a drug in the marker, the fee of eminent artists for private parties will further increase."

The house is modeled on the American plan, which is far more modern than the English in many good respects, and it seems to have greatly London play-goers.

One writer in that metropolis goes into ectasies over the fact that it is a strictly no-fees house, and again because "the management runs its own bars and dispenses good drinks at thirty-three per cent, less than the other West End houses."
