A new and attractive Idea at Washington Pork on the Delaware, successfully begun last evening, was the appearance of a grand eborns aud a number of the principal singers from the Grand Opera House, this city.

The latter Includes Slguora C. Vlclul Bag-getto, soprano; Miss Delia Nevlnin, mezzo-soprano; Slgnor A. Baggetto, tenor, and Sig-nor S. Nunzlato, baritone. Accompanied by the Llberati Baud of sixty pieces they will sing to-night the second act from "Lucia dl Laiumermoor," Including the celebrated anvil chorus.

All the above singers will be heard In solos. There will be no charge whatever to hear the operas. The combination Is characterized as one of the strongest that could be made in the realms of music. There will also be heard the- following soloists In the Liberal! Band: P. K.

Mntus, formerly of the Royal Austrian Court Orchestra at Vienna; Master Walter Le Febre. saxophone soloist; A. Walker, horn soloist; F. Steinest, clarinet, and Signer Ermiuo Gian-none, euphonium soloist. KING CHARLES OF ROUMANIA LEONIDAS' INCOMPARABLE 50 PERFORMING OOGS AND CATS The only reports which have reached thlg city during the past week apropos of the forthcoming winter's opera season are in effect that Charles A.

Ellis will not be the imprcssnrio, and that Melba will not visit this country. The advices which reached The Times from Europe last March and which were published about the middle of that month. In effect that thlB great eolorature soprano was annouueed for "guesting" appearances In Germany and In consequence thereof would not sing here seem to have had the foundation of fact. Melba'B Individuality and art have been prominent factors In the success of the last few opera seasons here. In fact, It may be said thut she was alone In her Identity with art in all of the performances which she graced, and while she may be missed during the conUug season the disappointment will in part be nssuaged through there being no necessity for the return of Houdouresque, Toronta, Itonnard, I bus and those other disappointing elements which the past two seasons forced upon the toleration of the opera patrons.

With the absence of Media and her company from America the operatic affairs of the city rest where they were prior to the season of IfStt-tHI, during which Ill-fate, consequent to mismanagement, met the most ambitious undertaking for the establishment of a permanent grand opera season which this city evel promoted. Those artistic results which have been attained since then during each season demonstrate most plainly that the large guarantee of that season was. In Its expenditure, prolific of nothing but absolute waste, and the Injury to the enterprise and generosity which incited its creation was fatal. Since that time the different seasons of opera which have occurred, even though characterized with many individual triumphs and isolated success, have done nothing towards the advancement of music or the establishment of a permanent opera other than to prove that grand opera may be made a remunerative undertaking if properly managed.

Than these clever fun-makers the vaudeville stage possesses no abler tenin. Ralph Bingham, who will tell several new stories, is the only monolo-glst. save Ezra Kendall, who has appeared at Keith's for two consecutive week. His triumph hns been of the most pronounced and overwhelming character. Caufield and Carlton, Mattie Vlckers, George W.

Day and Curtis G. Morse will also present laughable specialties. Gertrude Mansfield and Caryl Wllber will be seen In a sketch which scored a hit at Keith's New York bouse. Henri French, who has no superior ns a Juggler, and whose trick bicycling created something of a sensation last week, will further sturtle the assemblages. No dog show ever held In Philadelphia has contained more varieties of canine than does Leonldas' troupe, an aggregation embracing twenty-six different breeds, gathered in all parts of the world, and Including benrliouud.

The acquisition of these passports and the fact of traveling second class were not alone sulHolent to overcome all further diltlculties and dangers, for on reaching Salzburg a customs official gruffly demanded my name. To my horror I had forgotten It. Luckily, Von Werner, with great presence of mind, flung himself Into the breech by insisting on paying duty on some cigars and so diverted the intruder's attention until the Odessa merchant refreshed his peccant memory with a furtive glance at the passport. After a tedious Journey, during which he was continually exposi'd to the danger of recognition by persons whom he met and knew, linsiusch, where they were to change to a steamer and proceed down the river, was reached.

As the prince was to step ashore the master of the steamer stopped him to Inquire why he should land here if he wanted to go to Odessa. I replied that I only proposed to spend a few minutes ashore, and hurried forward. As soon as lie touched Roumanian soil liratianu approached obsequiously and with hat in hand begged that his Highness would deign to enter a waiting carriage.

KALITZ AND HIS BAND OF 55 WASTER MUSICIANS Come and see the New and Dar.Kltng MCEMC KiUBOAl TlSXEl THE BATTLE OF ELSA RUEGGER, VIOLONCELLIST graphic, but Just a record of the struggle of his kingdom to lift herself to a place anions European nations, and of the con-flirting intluences which were applied in order to attain success. We have In English an edition edited from the original with an explanatory Introduction by Sydney Whitman (Harpers), which, if in an abbreviated form, will lie found entirely satisfactory to those who cannot follow the (iermc.n orinlmil. Naturally, the volume is I defense of the Crown, but there are Introduced into It a great number of letters from the brotherhood of KlnRs ami the eminent Ministers which oust stroni! sideliKhts upon the movements that elevated the principality to a lilnudoni, and also reveal some lntcrestinc characteristic! of their writers. Amonjt these are the Queen of England, Napoleon Klnif William of 1'russla, Hlsninrck and others.

We have referred to these points simply to Indicate the scope of the book, ultliniigli it may he said that they really show how little potential the crowned heads of Europe were in shaping the destiny of liotmiania. The Fabian policy of Prince Chariots in withholding his mobilized army from giving support to the Russians before Plevna, anil until the Cznr had given guarantee that his demands should be compiled with, is the one exception shown In this record. It was thus that Rouuianla was elevated to a place with the powers of Europe, and tlds, apart from bis service in the field, where be proved himself a good poidler. Is the one act of the Klug's life that commands high respect. The most Interesting chapter In tho volume tells the story of pro-Semitic agitation in the East and the resistance to the Jewish demands for equal rights.

It was upon this question that the Western nations with high philanthropy made such earnest protest, and despite the opposition of Russia finally secured for the Moldavian Hebrews something approaching fair treatment from the government and king by whom they had long been oppressed. The King takes constant opportunity to define and defend the positions on thU question, from out of which lie was forced one after another to retreat. He declared that the Jews he'd mortgages on the greater part of the estates, and thut as uiiiversa' providers they had monopolized tho trade spirits. They had In times of famine and scarcity been always ready to lend money to the heedless laud-owners and peasants at exorbitant rates, and had thus acquired a hold upon them which could not lie shaken off. Even the bitter hatred with which the Moldavians regarded the Jews and the violence caused by that feeling were powerless to prevent the constant immigration of Jews from Poland and Southern Russia, where they experienced a far harder lot than In lioumanla.

It Is pointed out by the regal apologist that the Jews were aliens and strangers by reason of language, custom and religion and desired to remain so; that they refused to send their children to the public schools, although entitled to do so free of expense: that they controlled trade and practiced usury; that they were dirty and altogether undesirable from every point of view to the state. Nevertheless, when Sir Moses Monteflore began his earnest crusade in Europe and enlisted for the Moldavian Hebrews the sympathy of the civilized world so much pressure was brought to bear upon the Crown that the oppressed Israelites were advanced step by step to a relation to the state which, if not entirely satisfactory, is far removed from the one in which It was sought to restrain them. The whole history of the legislation and the correspondence with crowned heads Is given In the v.luine and to It the reader must turn for details. King Charles cannot refrain, however, from giving a part. Ing thrust when he says with bitterness In his concluding Ilin-s on this subject: "One must know the villagers of Moldavia to be able to Judge the noxious influence exerted on the rural population by the Jew and his adult rated brandy.

In Poland and Hungary the Jew Is to this day forbidden and rightfully, too to keep a village public house. On the other hand, it is a pity that in Koumnnlti Jews may not hold licenses for the sale of tobacco, as they now have become the most arrant smugglers." This Is the last slap by the King. The rest of the volume extols his reign, but there are some letters vlilch are worth preserving. One was evoked by a letter of sympathy written to the unhappy mother of the Blain Prince- Imperial by the King. Chiselhurst, August 13.

Yon recall to me the days of happiness, and by recurring to the' present, you share my illimitable grief. Everything lots fallen from me, and only two tombs are left of all I loved. I rest near them, and here my Isolation seems less great. I have known both extremes and the want of stability of human fortunes. We are wrong in not fixing our eyes beyond this life and on that one where nothing changes and where we shall rejoin those whom we love to all eternity.

EudENIE. The volume Is singularly barren of personal Incident and if it were not for the title and an occasional lapse of the writer Into the nee of the third person its authorship might be questioned, but there Is one Incident which reveals much of the personality of the writer. When he was summoned to his Principality it was necessary to cross the Austro-ltavarlnn frontier at Salzburg. He traveled In mufti with Councillor Von Werner and stopped at Zurich on the afternoon of May 11, 1WK1. to arrange about passports.

Von Werner telegraphed a Swiss official, whom the Trlnce's father had already asked about the passes, to arrange a meeting at St. Gallon, but, as this official was not at home at the time, a delay of twenty-four hours occurred, which Prince Charles spent In writing to the Emperors of Russia and France and the Sultan of Turkey. The Prince and Von Werner occupied themselves also with erasing the marking of the Prince's linen and reducing the baggage to the smallest limits. "The following day the prince obtained his passports under the name of Karl Hettiu-gen, traveling on business to Odessa, and at the prliicd1 request note was made on the Alley" fame, will be the vocalists, and J. H.

W. Byrne will furnish the Instrumental music. Athletes dancers, will also contribute to the diversified programme. The first number of the Anglo-Saxon Review carries out all the promises that wore made for It. which Is saying a good deal at the very outset.

It Is the most ambitious attempt yet made to render permanent through the form In which it Is put forth much that would otherwise be and generally Is ephemeral, und it bids fair to be successful. The cover of the volume Is' at once attractive, even before one learns from a note by Cyril IMvenport about It, that it Is careful facsimile reproduction In green leather, stamped In gold, of an old French book executed in 104 for James King of England. In an Introductory by the editor. Lady Randolph Churchill points out that such a book will do very well to keep on the drawing room table or to receive a place of honor on the library shelf. It Is a big book, twelve Inches by seven and a half, and an Inch and a half thick, paged at the bottom.

Its binding and press work, by John Lane, are most artistic, and In view of all this and of the matter of the volume there Is nothing like an apology for the price, which is a guinea. The editor says very frankly that the ilrst object of the publication is commercial and "tho Anglo-Saxon Is not disposed to think lightly of his wares, or set low values on his effort, for otherwise Ills green-and-gold brocade would soon be threadbare." As for the text. It appeals from first to last to cultivated people, but beyond that quality it Is full of variety, broad In scope and not too grave. Henry James and 011-bert Parker contribute to the fiction of the number and tltere is a rather long drama in verse by John Oliver Hobbes. Hie centenary of the battle of the Nile, August, 1W8, Is celebrated in a poem by Swinburne.

Doubtless of greatest Interest to Americans Just at this time "will be found "Some Consequences of the Last Treaty of Paris," by Whltelaw Reld. This article, touching as It docs a burning question and setting forth the views of the administration which ahleved the treaty, partakes more of the quality of timeliness than anything else in the number, while at the same time It deserves as much as any to be permanently preserved. Lord Rosebery has some pages of enlightening comment on Mr. Parker's Sir Hubert Peel, In which he deals delightfully with a theme that Is peculiarly his own. In "A Modern Woman, Horn lti-tV' Elizabeth Rohblns writes lightly, and entertainingly of Ltidy Mary Wortley Montagu.

These are only a few of the good things in the number. The only Illustrations are portraits beautifully executed photogravures. The frontispiece Is a picture of Oueen Victoria from the marble bust by Edward Onslow Ford, K. A. There are also portraits of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu from a miniature, one of George Washington, from a Gilbert Stuart painting, now In the possession of the Earl of Itusebery, with an accompanying note by Lionel Cust: another of Sir Robert Peel, Anne of Austria, Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke and Georghina, Duchess of Devonshire.

Just so long as they are financially successful, and if for next season in the absence of Molba, we "re given a series of performances by the Grau Company equal In point of merit to those which supplemented last wluler's subscription season, the change could be welcomed with enthusiasm.

Elsa Ruegger, the violoncellist of Swiss nationality, possesses that art and tnl-cal education which claims a recognition in Europe equal to that of Leonora Jackson'. Like this brilliant American she has established her reputation In all the great musical centres of Europe, and comes to America In the fall with the Indorsement of the Riverside Mansion. Riverside Mansion, at the entrance to Wlssahlckon Drive, Is situated In one of the most pleasant spots about the city. It is popular among road men and bicyclists, and It Is a great resort for all.

She began playing In public at the age of 11 years, but it Is only within the past two seasons that she had earned a prominent place. During the past week lovers of Instrumental music have been constant In their attendance at the concerts being given by the orchestra under the direction of Frits Sclieel at Woodslde Tark. The remarks written last week served to attract a great many who heretofore had been unacquainted with the unusual talent of the man and the high competence of the musicians he directs. The different programmes given during the past week were excellently built, though sometimes light In character, and the manner of their presentation had the benefit of a week's association of conductor and men. Considering the fact that the greater portion of even the most difficult compositions receive no previous rehearsal, the result attained by the conductor 16 remarkable.

Whether the absence of any previous Introduction to the public of Seheel's ability and reputation was a premeditated omission need not be debated. If his managers adopted such a course with a view of having the public discover him from his work, their method has been a success, for the musicians which now attend every concert have pronounced upon him. He now stands in their estimation exactly wUereTHE Times placed him last Sunday. He is one of the few the very few conductors who may be spoken of unqualifiedly. The Tschalkousky Symphony of last Monday night had a beautiful reading, and It was part of a programme which was replete with musical Instruction and pleasure.

The Handel "Largo," given by way of encore In contradistinction to the trashy conceptions which trndltiou has established for such occasions at park concerts, carries Its own testiinouy, and supplements the evidence which the construction of his programmes afforded as to his musical taste and discernment.
