During Mrs. Bergen'a residence In Brooklyn she appeared at many of tho concerts given by Mme Murlo Cello, In Carnegie haW, New York. She has also acted as soprano soloist in several Catholic ohurehes In this city. Last season Mrs. Bergen "was on the professional stago for a short time, when she took the part of the countess In the "Fencing Master." The "Fencing Master" was not the success its promoters had hoped for arid, a good many of the members of the company walked home from Kalamazo, Mich Nella Bergen's career with DeWoIf Hopper and "El Capitan" has thus far been rer markably successful one.

All over the country the prima donna has been praised by th public and the press. "El Capitan" has been booked at two Brooklyn theaters and Mra. rsergen irienas win soon nave an opporuir. nlty to hear the young singer in her new role. BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

Short History of the Plattdeutsche Volksfest Vcrein of Brooklyn and Vicinity How the New German Hospital Came to Be Built. The German hospital has become an established fact. With the acquisition of the magnificent pint of ground at St. Nicholas avenue, Stanhope and Stockholm and the rap Id growth of the erection fund, the United Plattdeutsche societies sec their long cherished plan rapidly taking form. A review of the origin and growth of this charitable project is interesting, revealing as It does the energy and perseverance with which thU purpose has been pursued since Its inception.

Kidgewood park and the old Myrtle avenue park, which was situated on Myrtle avenue between Hamburg and Knickerbocker avenues, was particularly keen, George Grauer, tin.)

A meeting of reporters for the High School Recorder will be held next Tuesday afternoon.

The high school debating society, of which Frank M. Tomlln, '97, is president and "Walter E. Hope. '97, vice president, will soon begin work for the year. Last spring the society won the cup of the Long Island Inter scholastic Debating league, and its members will do all in their power to retain the prize during tne coming season.

st of the be debaters are back Girls' High School. The delay and friction usually Incidental to the practical work of a great organization were noticeably absent from the opening of 6 the accustomed opening exercises, which consist, in addition to the reading of the scriptures and the singing of the Lord's prayer, cf musical selections, varied by kindly words from tile principal, the chairman of the committee and such distinguished guests as chance to be present. The attendance pupils was remarkably iarge and the appearance of the assembly room emphasized the fact that hundreds of candidates will vainly seek for desired admission to the schoo i. The girls sang with great spirit "America," "Home, Sweet Home," "Tho Star Spangled Banner" and many other patriotic airs. The principal, Mr.

Patterson, spoke directly and forcibly to the point In saying: "Vacation Is over. Work begins this morning, and begins promptly. Books will be distributed to day. so that you may have them to take home with you to night lest you might feel lonesome without a big lead of books to carry. lou would not know you had been to school.

I Largely thro ugh the efforts of our chairman Mr. Gates, vacation has been lengthened two weeks. But mat means not less work, but less time in which to do the same amount of work. A certain amount must be done, and no less than If the school year were af the usual length. There is.

therefore, not a moment to lose. You have had a good time all summer, and there is no way so easy to get over being lazy as to hegin work all at once. This is the morning to do it. We are all glad to see you back again, and you are to be congratulated upon being on time." The iast words caused a little merriment, as Mr. Gates had reached the platform several minutes late, but on rising to speak ho expressed his surprise that the school had so promptly assembled and explained his slight tardiness from the fact that ho had assumed that there would be more or less delay In beginning the regular routine oif work.

He fully agreed with the principal that as mu' work must be d. although the time was less in which do it, and enlarged upon fio fact that there Is no time but present time. Nature forces occasional rest upon us, but tk.ne never goes back. We can never oatcVi up if wo once leave anything tind'itie. We may try to learn to day the lesson that should have been learned yc.ter.lay, but we should really bo learning a new one.

The gins high school is as much as any ether a training school for teachers. and the conduct of its pupils in such as might be expected from those who expect to become tc.ioherr, in the future. The principal called special attention to the lap; point made by Mr. Gates, saying: "Im agine yourselves teachers jind act as you i would like your scholars to act. Thereby you will save much time and labor for your teachers, giving them the opportunity to do more for you and give you more cf wCiat you come here to get." BRIDGE HAMPTON BEAMS.

BROOKLYN PRIMA DONNA. Nella Bergen, Who Is With DeWoIf Hopper in "El Capitan," Is an Eastern District Qirl Will Sing at Local Theaters. It Is not generally knoivn that Nella Bergen, who jus: now Is winning fame and money as the prima donna of De Wolf Hopper's "El Capitan" opera company, Is a Brooklyn young woman and that she has lived the best part of her twenty three years In the Fourteenth ward in the eastern district. Such however ia the case and Nella Reardon Bergen Is admired by hundreds of friends in that section of the city. Mrs.

Bergen is the daughter cf Police Sergeant John E. Reardon, who attached to the Nineteenth precinct. The family home Is at 181 North Fourth street, where the Reardons have lived for the past dozen years. Nella Bergen began her early training in South Fourth street public school, and when 17 years old began to sing as soprano soloist in the Church the Transfiguration, at Marcy. avenue and Hooper street.

Her voice NELLA BERGEN. Prima Donna of Kl CapUa.n Opera Company. had already shown great possibilities, and a year prior to that time she had studied under lime. Salvotti of this city. After completing a course with Mme.

Saivotti she stud led with Mme. Murlo Cello of New York. While Mrs. Bergen was carrying on her studies she appeared in several Brooklyn amateur productions. She took small parts In the operas "Pinafore." and "Patience," which were put on In the Academy of Muslo some five years ago.

About the same time Mrs. Bergen secured a place as a chorus girl with an opera company headed by Annie Plxley. As will be remembered Annie Pixley's venture with comic opera was not very successful and Mrs. Bergc n's engagement only lasted six weeks. She had a Bimilar though shorter experience with the "King Kalico" company.

Mrs. Bergen was beginning to tlink that She could not look for success on the stage when her father suggested that she seek an engagement with Patrick S. Oilmore. That was in tlie summer of 1S92, and Gii mora's concerts were one of the attractions at Manhattan beach at that time. It was on a Saturday afternoon that Sergeant Reardon and hl3 daughter called on GUmore at Manhattan beach.

Miss Reardon, for that was before her marrriage, presented her letter of Introduction to the great musician, and after he had read It hastily, bo said: "You ought to bo ashamed cf yoursel'f coming here and bothering me on a busy day like this. How am I to know that you can sing? Come back at 4 o'clock and perhaps I may be able to talk with you." Gllmoro had spoken so gruffly to Miss Reardon and her father that It was evident that he little suspected they would return. He was thcrofcre very much surprised when the Reardons again demanded an Interview at tho appointed hour. "Well, I will give you ono chance," said Gllmore after questioning Mis3 Reardon fcr half an hour. Ho then briefly introduced the young singer and she inarched nut on too stage.

It was midsummer and tho audience was a lavtfe one. Miss Htard'jr. tang Meyerher's "Robert le Diablo" In a manner which completely captivated tho audience. She was cheered and applauded for several minutes, while Gllmore personally congratulated the young wtroan again and again. Miss Reardon sang as an encoro "La Julve" and followed that with "Annie Jjaurle." Gllmore engaged Miss Reardon for the remainder of the season.

That was her first successful professional appearand and Glim' to was so pleased with the young singer that ho persuaded her to appear at his Jubilee. Miss Reardon did not complete her engagement, however, for It was about that time that she was married to James D. Borgen and as a result her pro fee slonal career was cut short for a while. Since Mra. Borgen was married sho hao 1 I W.

Horels, recording secretary Georgo. A. aenmenourg, financial sum Hunken, treasurer. In January, 1S94, the society contributed 51,000 to the German hospital and supplemented the same by a. like subscription In October of the same year and a donation of $100 In November, 1895.

The festival held in Ridge wood park a few weeks ago was relied upon to net a handsome sum for the pet scheme of the Plattdeutschers, but was handicapped by the excessively hot weather, and fears are entertained that the financial results may not come up to expectations. IN LOCAL SCHOOLS. Last Monday tho doors of the boys' high schcol were thrown open for the fall term. Many of the old faces were missing, but the hundreds of new scholars completely filled the places left vacant by last June's graduation. Over one hundred applicants for admis sion had to be turned away on account of he scarcity oi room.

The appearance of the school building has beea rauca beautified by the asphalt pavemer. which was laid on three sides of the school i rlnrlnw 'ho elimmor ,1 ffi 11 1 rwf lOir. lug recitations amid the rumble of carts on the witnout is now done away with.
