London has about 2,000 orchestral instrumentalists (including upwards of 700 violinists), besides more than 5,500 other teachers or professors of music; while in the provinces there are over 8,000 more. And yet academies of music are turning out new teachers by hundreds a year. London is probably the only city In the world which can boast upwards of 70 orchestral drum players.

Paris, at an yrate, is happy with only 24. London has 90 trombone players and 34 teachers of the banjo. BOSTON NO JUDGE. Arthur Nikisch, whom Boston did not like, has just concluded an engagement for life as conductor of the Gewandhaus concerts. He celebrated it by giving a concert with Paderewski, another genius admired the world over except in Boston.

The London Musical Times, relates that Mr. Nikisch, who, just previous to Christmas, conducted one of the concerts of the Imperial orchestra at St. Petersburg, aroused the enthusiasm of his audience to such a degree that at the -conclusion of the performance some of hi3 most ardent admirers literally carried the famous conductor in triumph through the hall. LISZT'S SONGS UNPOPULAR. Liszt's songs are not nearly so well known as the ought to be, though an edition with an excellent translation into English by Hueffer has been printed by Novello, Ewer Co.

A correspondent at Munich recently wrote apropos of a recital by Gura: "A special word of praise should be said in regard tohis singing of some Liszt songs. 'The Tflree which, by the way, is a -wonderful outflow of Liszt's genius, was given in a true vein by this master. Beautifully interpreted were also 'Uber Allen Wipfeln ist Ruh and the charming song 'Oh, Come to Me'." THE DANCE IN EUROPE. "The rubato," says a writer in the Musical Courier, "that eloquent weapon in the hands of rhythmic control and the pitfall of disaster where rhythm is angular or imperfect, is employed with poetic authority in the German waltz as danced in "Vienna specifically. Here men and women execute insinuatingly, ravishingly, with their feet fluctuant measures which they might never perhaps have learned to control had they begun with their fingers or a voice.

But abroad everybddy dances. They begin life with the dance, and train their steps to dance music played with a lyric feeling and an abandon which the mechanical revolution of the American dance lias slaughtered." COURT IN A PICKLE. A new factor has been introduced Into the orchestral question since women have begun to form bands. The courts at Braunschweig, Germany, are at present puzzled by a new kind of case. A tavern-keeper had, on the strength of a photograph, engaged a band of female players, but when they arrived he found they were not nearly as pretty as their pictures, and the best looking one was missing entirely.

In consequence, mine host refused to engage the band, and was sued for 5310. that tho girls were as pretty as their pictures, which the host denied. At last accounts the court was still in doubt as to what decision to render. CALVE' POOR HEALTH. Madame Calve, partly as a result of the Influenza attack which caused her to relinquish her engagement at Covent Gar den last year, again finds herself in indifferent health.

A short time ago she resolved to limit her appearances in M. Massenet's "Sapho," at the Paris Opera Comique, to two a week. Now she has been obliged to give up work altogether and to go to the south of France. She, however, hopes to reappear towards the end of the month. MADAME VERDI'S WILL.

Madame Verdi's will has been proved at Rome. The deceased lady saved a modest fortune before her marriage to Verdi, while she was still a popular operatic prima donna. Of this, about J7.500 now goes to build a hospital at Villanova, and the balance in smaller sums is devoted to various charities. ATTRACTS MICE BY MUSIC. A Paris paper relates that a Belgiain manufacturer has taken out a patent on a new kind of mouse trap in which a small music box takes the place of cheese or bacon as a bait, it being wellk nown that mice are attracted by music.

Signora Duse is reported as having spoken to the following effect In a recent interview in Rome: "I feel that I must originate something new. The present forms of my artistic activity don ot satisfy me any longer. I feel that In my mind something is dying, and that something new Is beginning to germinate. In the dramas I am playing there is so much that is artificial, conventional, old-fashioned, dead; and the fact oppresses me. I am possessed by a wish or an aspiration towards a new form of art which will harmonize more closely and more pro found ly with the bent of my mind.

I feel humiliated beneath the garb of the characters I have to represent. We must go back to the Greek conception of beauty. We must return to the ancient dramatic art The movement, the color, the plasticity of our contemporaneous art are the movement, ihe color, the plasticity of a dead art Even the language we speak is corrupted. Eternal ends, eternals truths, are only to be found in the works of antiquity. It Is only by taking these as a basis that an artist can hope to give the public a pure and healthy conception.

A return to the tragedy of the ancients is in theair, and such a movement will be followed throughout the whole world." PUBLIC WANTS BOSH. 'The Belle of New says Hugh Morton, "Is the ne piece I ever had anything to do with that I can see the quality of endurance In. Perhaps that is because it was not much of a success in New York. My pieces are utter drivel. They haven't the dramatic literary value of a circus po3ter.

I strike my standard low, and then try to write down to it. The consequence is that I'm making more money than I can conveniently spend, and Shakespeare is relegated to Mead-ville. and Chillicothe, O. The public wants unutterable bosh, with lac and musical trimmings, and I'm merely the caterer." SOUSA'S EARLY LIFE. John Philip Sousa is onw the recognized March King, and writes marches for the old as well as the new world.

He says, however, for many years a violin soloist of note before he entered the field of military band music. A few nights ago while in a reminiscent mood the noted composer recalled the circumstances of his first appearance in public at tho tender age of 11 years. "My initial bow as a solo performer was made before a audinece composed almost entirely of lunatics," remarks Sousa with a smile at the memories this evoked. "Just outsido of the city of Washington is the St. Elizabeth Insane Asylum, which is maintained by the United States government, and in my youth, as, indeed, even now, it was the custom for local musicians to give occasional concerts at the asylum for the amusement of the unfortunates confined there.

My music teacher, John Esputa, frequently managed these affairs, and on one occasion, finding himself short of talent, he sent word to my house that I should hold myself in readiness to assist him with a violin solo. I am free to confess that tho prospect of such a sudden and novel debut unnerved me. I didn't want to go a bit, but as Esputa was a martinet for discipline I knew it would be idle to protest. So I resorted to subterfuge. Shortly before it was time to start for the asylum I presented myself at my teacher's house with the excuse that I did not have a clean shirt at home, and it would, therefore, be extremely improper for me to appear in public with untidy linen.

"But, alas for my hopes, Esputa made me go to his room and do one of his shirts, which proved many sizes too llargo for a boy of 11. I remember painfully that it was wrwapped around me almost twice and the collar was pinned on fore and aft. If there was a more uncomfortable boy in the city of Washington than myself on that night he must have suffered the very ecstasy of misery. I wandered around gloomily until my number on the program was reached and then stumbled on the platform. The thought of that borrowed shirt and the i dea that I was playing to crazy people must have unnerved me, for I had not played more than a dozen bars of my solo before I forgot every note and was on the point of breaking down.

At this point I glanced hopelessly at my teacher seated at the piano to play my accompaniment and the wild glance of rage that met my look freghtened me to renewed efforts, so I began to improvise. I could hear Esputa swearing at me under his breath as ho tried to follow the wild flights of my fancy. Then the pin that held the voluminous collar encircling my neck slipped its moorings wliile the collar made a wild dash over myears. This was too much for me, and, despite the torrid imprecations of my teacher, I brought my unique solo to a suddne end witha btrong chord and then made a frantic effort to escape the scolding I realized was in store for me. But Es-tupa seized me as I left the platform and hissed in my ear: "Don't you dare eat any supper here tonight!" With this order ho left me to my fate, and all the rest of the evening I had to school myself to refuse the repeated invitations of tho asylum authorities to partake of refreshments.

That proved a very effective method of punishment, for I was very fond of ice cream in those days." IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD Solemn Requiem Jlans Celebrated, in Cleveland Ohio. Cleveland. Feb. 22. By direction of Bishop Hortsmann, a solemu requiem mass was celebrated today in St John's cathedral, this city, in memory of the dead crew of tho battleship Mine.

The cathedral was elaborately draped in mourning and the function was attended by a crowded congregation. Rev. George Vahey. rector, officiated at the mass, assisted by the cathedral clergy. Rev.

Drs. Farrell and Mylott After the absolution Father Vahey delivered an eloquent and patriotic address, telling of the brave victims' devotion to duty and of the debt of gratitude owed them by the nation. At his request the entire congregation united in offering up prayers for the repose of the crew's souls.

Mrs. "Jack" Gardner, the bizarre leader of Boston society, earned considerable fame last summer by taking daily walks in the Hub's 200 with a lioness that was fierce with everybody else, but as doclie as a child with her. Denver has a woman who not only plays with wild animals, but owns them.

Mrs. John Elitch of the queen city of the plains is the only woman on earth who is the possessor of a zooli-gical garden. It Is no small affair either, this garden, but a large and complete institution, known to every keeper of animals in the world. Mrs. Elitch not only manages the establishment, but has a personal acquaintance, if such an expression may be used, with every animal in the collection.

RUNS A STEAMER. A few years ago every boatsman on the Mississippi river would have thrown up their hands in horror had it been suggested that a woman could fill the office of both pilot and commander on a first-class steamer. Today such a post is occupied by Captain Callie French, whose career is thus described by the Cincinnati Enquirer: Captain Callie French was born in Jackson county, Ohio, in 1S61, her maiden name being Callie Leach. She was married to Captain A. B.

French, who was owner and commander of the steamer C. which was used on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and Its tributaries to tow a small boat used as a theater. She spent the greater part of her time in the pilot house with her husband, learning to handle the wheel, and proved herself such an apt scholar that in a short time her hsband suggested that she should apply for pilot's license. This she did, and stood the examination so well that in 1SSS the Inspectors at New Orleans granted her a first class license. Her jurisdiction reaches from Cincinnati to New Orleans.

Not being contented with the laurels she had gained, after patient study she concluded to apply for a master's license, which was granted to her in 1592, making her now the only woman that holds both master and pilot's license. Captain Callie French was also the first woman to bo admitted as a member of the American Association of Masters and Pilots of Steam Vessels, known as the "Harbor," being initiated at St. Louis in April, 1S93. Captain Callie French has full command of the steamer Mary Stuart, which runs in tho lower Mississippi and its tributaries. To it is attached a beautiful house boat, called the Senasation, which is fitted up in first class style as a theater.

It has a seating capacity of 600, and is a pretty and comfortable little theater, with never less than 23 first class variety people in the company. BITS FROM EVERYWHERE. One of the many American women holding prominent positions abroad is Madame Barrios, the wife of the president of Gua-temale, who before her marriage was Miss Algene Benton, of New Orleans. John Oliver Hobbes, whose "School for Saints" is one of the talked of books of the hour, is in private life Mrs. Craigie, an American by birth, who married an Englishman, but the marriage proved an unhtppy one, she now lives in seclusion in a retired part of London and devotes herself to literature.

Miss Katherine Fresco tt Wormley, has just finished her translation of Balzac's "La Comedie Humaine," numbering in all 40 volumes a colossal work, to which she has devoted 15 years of her life. Mademoiselle d'Haussoanvillc, whose death occurred last week in Paris, was the great grand daughter of Madame de Stael, but instead of shinning in literary society, as did her illustrious ancestress, she devoted herself to acts of charity and to ministering to the sick and poor. Miss Zelie de Lussanthc pretty American prima donna, has just closed a successful engagement at Lisbon, where she had tho honor of being received by the king and queen of Portugal. Lucas Malet, the nam de plume of the author of that brilliant novel "The Wages of Sin," is in private life Mrs. Mary Harrison, the daughter of the late Charles Kingsley, from whom she inherits her marked literary talent.

Madame Theresa Carreno, the celebrated pianlste, who made her appearance in America last winter with the Boston m-phony company, is said to be the most generous to her fellow artists and it is owing to her personal efforts that Professor MacDowell of Columbia college was introduced as a musical composer to the critical Berlin pubuic A new paper is about to be started in Paris, which will be entirely of feminine workmanship, both intellectually and mechanically, even the printer's devil, it is said, being of the gentler sex. Mrs McKinlev was recently seen in a box at a Washington theater, attired in a gray silk and miroir velvet costume, with some white lace at her throat, and wearing a tiny bonnet of gray velvet trimmed with violets and cream colored lace. At a recent reception given by General Porter, the American ambassador at Paris. Mrs. Porter wore an elegant toilet of black satin richly embroidered and wrought with gold, the bodice slashed with straps across a soft white mous-seline de sole front, held In place by d.a-mond buttons.
