MUSIC ANDTHE DRAMA

The last week of the season of theMoulton Company at the Clunie Opera-hcuse, commencing to-morrow, Mondayevening, will present the famous organ-ization in an especially strong bill, con-sisting of three one-act plays, and in ad-dition to this, the performance will havea sensational aspect in the appearancebetween the acts of Alex Mclvor Tyn-dall, the "wr orld famous mind reader andhypnotist," who will give some of hismysterious mind reading and occulttests. The bill to be presented will con-sist of the charming one-act play "TheBaron's Wager," in which Miss KateDallas and Lester Lonergan will appear.This gem of dramatic art was a strongfeature of the famous actors Felix Mor-tis and Richard Mansfield. The artisticability of Miss Dallas and Mr. Lonergan

will have ample scope in this play. TheSecond bill of the evening will be thewell-known comedy "A Game of Cards,"which the distinguished English actorsMr. and Mrs. Kendal gave a prominentplace in their repertoire on their firstappearance in this country. The fourcharacters in "A Game of Cards" willbe played by Miss Fanny Yantis andCharles Gibney, Lester Lonergan andHarry Stockbridge. The versatility ofthese capable artists has been well dis-played during their stay at the ClunieOpera-house and the charming comedy

Will be presented in an artistic and capa-ble manner. The best of the three playsof the bill will be "Two Jim Dandies,"which is as full of mirth and laughtera> an egg is of meat. In this mirth pro-voker the comedian Arthur Moulton,who has become very popular here, willappear, accompanied by Miss Rose Stu-art, Miss Helen Harrington, Miss LilianClayes and Messrs. Stockbridge and"William Sellery. The plot of "Two JimDandies" revolves around the adven-tures of a father and son who take eachother's places in paying their attentionsto two ladies. The duo become mixed upin their adventures, the father payscourt to his son's sweetheart and theson gives his attention to the lady whomhis father proposes to make his secondwife. The result can be well imagined.The triple bill will give every memberof the Moulton Company a chance to bem m at their best. The performancesof these clever comedians should drawbig houses for their farewell appear-ances.

In addition to the dramatic portion ofthe entertainment the sensational andnovel feature of the appearance of Tyn-

dall between acts in his "occult mani-festations" will give spice and variety.There are none livingwho have provena greater puzzle to scientists than hasTyndall, if all told of him is true. Hehas mystified the two continents, we aretold. Telepathy, mind reading andhypnotism to-day are chief subjectswith which science is interested, andthese mysterious matters form the basisof Tyndall's work. This week Tyndallw ill present his famous tests of findingsi hidden pin, unraveling a murder, Ir-ving Bishop's test of finding a word ina book (which caused his death) and anumber ofequally weird and mystifyingthings. This will be Tyndall's last ap-pearance ln America, as he leaves short-ly for India to carry out his plan ofbeing buried alive for thirtydays, whichhe tried to do In Chicago and in LosAngeles recently, but was prevented oneaefa occasion from trying this unheardof feat by the authorities, who lookedi:pon it as suicidal. As many requestshave been made to Tyndall to give onecf his sensational blindfold carriage

drives while he ls here, he has con-sented to do so, and to-morrow, Monday< .--rung, will carry out this remarkablefeat, starting from the opera-house at7 in the evening. The test will be Incharge of a committee of well-knowncitizens who will see that the oft-re-peated assertions of collusion have nochance of being carried out. Tyndall

declares that he is the only man living

able to carry out the test of the blindfoldcarriage drive, and is prepared to offer$1,000 to any one who can do the dan-gerous feat under the supervision ofthe same committee. It has been done,however, here and in San Francisco,and successfully. It is to be regretted

that the clever Moulton Company doesjiot play here longer, for their perform-ances have been of the most delightfulcharacter, and Itwill be a difficult thing

for the management of the opera-houseto secure again so fine an organization

fts the Moulton Company that will play

to such prices. There ought to be made

en effort to secure the continuance of|he troupe In Sacramento.

» * *A well-known manager was seated In

hir- office when his messenger brought

lti» a card which bore the Inscription,

* Mr. W. Shakespeare Sheridan. Drama-tist," or some similar name. On the card

\u25a0Was scrawled in pencil. "What about theIt tier I wrote you three years ago?"

* W. 11, that's the first Instance of apatient dramatist I have ever encoun-tered," remarked the manager. "Most

of them demand replies before the Ink

The young man was bringing to bearell his limited attainments as a contor-tionist in his efforts to see around thetall, wide hat worn by the sweet girl

In front of him.The young woman whorn he was ac-

companying saw him and pitied him.Then a knowing smile passed over her

face and she leaned over and whispered

loudly enough for tha girl with the bighat to hear:

What a lovely hat that girl in frontcf you has on?"

He looked fierce, but said nothing, and

the owner of the hat stared straight

ahead with a pleased expression.

"What a pity Itis," the young womanwith the knowing look resumed, "thatshe doesn't know it isn't on stright?"

The girl in front made a convulsivegrab and shifted the hat to one side.Then it didn't feel right and she shovedit away over on the other side, only tohear in the commiserating stage whisper

behind her:"Poor thing, she'll never get it

straight now."It was too much. The girl in front

reached up with a resolute band, undi3the hat and laid it in her lap, while theyoung man cast a glance at his compan-ion which s ;ts eloquent with undyingladmiration and eternal gratitude.

* * *Professor Gevaert of the Conservatory

of Brussels recently gave an interesting

concert of old Greek music in that city.

The programme contained all the frag-

ments that have been preserved, in-cluding the two hymns to Apollo dis-covered recently at Delphi. The songs?wt re accompanied after the ancientGreek manner, the instruments taking

the same part as the voices, with anoccasional interlude and primitive har-monies consisting erf a fourth, fifth oroctave. The (instruments used were aRoman buoina and two tibiae or auloi,resembling bass trumpets and oboes,which Gevaert had made to order aftermodels preserved in the museums ofNaples, Pornpe.li and Roane. They wereblown by professors of the BrusselsConservatory, and the entertainmentwas greatly appreciated by an Invitedaudience. At another conservatory con-cert Gevaert produced the complete

score of "Rhelngold."see

Joseph Jefferson was once asked tospend a week with a Scotoh peer.Among the guests was a brilliant andhearty lady, who was the daughter ofan Earl. "I suppose," said Mr. Jeffer-son, "there must have been somethingin my American manner that amusedher, for she made a dead set at quiz-zing me. I did not detect it at first, andanswered some of her absurd ques-tions about America quite Innocently.

She kept her face so well thait I mightnever have discovered this but for theidiotic grin upon the smooth face of oneof her admirers, and then I felt that,for the honor of my country, if she madeanother thrust at me, Iwould parry itif I could. I had not long to wait, for,emboldened by her late success, sheturned upon me and said, 'By the by,have you met the Queen lately?' 'No,madame,' I replied, with perfect seri-ousness, 'I was out when her majesty

called upon me.' She colored slightlyand then turned away, and never spoketo me again, but I was revenged."

* * *The London "Daily News" says thatM. Jean de Reszke is at present rebuild-ing in most ornate and luxurious stylethe old castle of Skrzydlow, where heand his future bride will in 1807 takeup their abode, and he is also buildinga summer residence at Borowna, whileEdouard will, after his brother's mar-riage, move to the estate of Garnek. Attheir estate of Chorzenice the brothershave had a slice of good luck In discov-ering a rich mine of cement. It is curi-ous that their old associate, Dassalle,who has retired from the stage, ls nowalso amassing a fortune as a maker ofcement.

** * sGerman opera is a much younger

thing than Italian opera. The Italiancities had opera in their own languageearly In the seventeenth century, where-as the Royal Opera in Berlin did notproduce an opera in the German lan-guage until 1788. There had been Ger-man opera at an earlier age at Ham-burg and other cities, but it did notamount to much. Even Mozart wroteonly two of his operas to German lib-rettos, and Weber was the first to wina decisive victory for German, opera,with his "Freischutz," of which theseventy-fifth birthday was celebratedin Berlin a few weeks ago.

* * *A Paris paper relates the followinganecdote of the famous opera composer,Auber. He often said that he wouldgive all the laurels of his later years ifhe could be restored to youth. Once,when old age was under discussion, heexclaimed: "Yes, it is annoying to growolder day by day, but so far no otherway has been found of livinglong." Oneevening, at a soiree, KUg Otto of Greecesaid to him: "I hear you have writtenanother opera." "Iconfess I have beenso indiscreet," was Auber's answer.When he was a very old man he at-tended the funeral of a friend. On re-turning, he remarked to his companion:"Ifear this is the last time of my goingtc a funeral as an amateur."

* * *According to Berlioz, the origin of thethe leadership of the "concertmeister,"or first violin, in an orchestra arosefrom the deafness of Beethoven when"the musicians, in order that they mightkeep to gether. eventually agreed to fol-low the slight indications of time which

| the concertmeister gave them, and notjto attend Beethoven's conducting stick."jEvery amateur knows, moreover, thatjuntil a comparatively recent period thejconductor himself played a violin or satat the piano, to indicate the tempo. SirGeorge Grove thinks that Spohr was thefirst to use a baton, at a Philharmonicconcert in 1820. There is, however, atradition that Henrich Albert used aconductor's stick in Germany as earlyas the first half of Lite seventeenth cen-tury.

THE DESPISED RICH.Respectfully Dedicated to Disgruntled

Anarchists.A touching incident occurred in New

York last winter.A little boy a!>out 10 years old was

standing before a shoe store on Broad-way barefooted, peering through thewindow and shivering with cold.

A lady riding up the street in a beauti-ful carriage drawn by a pair of horses,observed the little fellow in his forlorncondition, and immediately ordered thedriver to 'haw up and stop in front ofthe store. The lady, richly dressed,alighted from her carriage, went quietlyto the boy and said:

' My little fellow, why are you lookingso earnestly in that window?"

"I was just asking God to give me apair of shoes," was his reply.

The lady took him by the hand andwent into the store and asked the pro-rrietor if he would allow one of hisclerks to go and buy her a half a dozenpairs of stockings. The proprietor as-sented. She then asked him if he couldgive hi F a basin of water and a towel,and he replied "Certainly," and quicklybrought them to her. She took the lit-tle fellow to the back part of the store,and, removing her gloces, knelt down,washed those little feet and dried themwith the towel.

By this time the young man had re-turned with the stockings. Placing apair upon his feet, she purchased andgave him a pair of shoes, and tying upthe remaining pairs of stockings shegave them to him, and patting him onthe head said: "I hope, my little fellow,that you now feel more comfortable."

As she turned to go the astonishedlad caught her hand, and looking up inher face, with tears ln his eyes, an-swered her question with these words:"Are you an angel?"

MIDNIGHT MYSTERY.

The Haunted House on the Bluff atYokohama.

How a Party of Americans Solveda Mystery Which Puzzled

the Natives.

(Special Correspondence of Record-Union.)

PORTLAND (Or.), July 23.?The fol-lowing story, whose authenticity isvouched for by the narrator, a jolly,

bluff old sea Captain, was told me notlong ago.

In the city of Yokohama, on a steepbluff overlooking the harbor, therestands a large, somber-looking grayhouse, four stories high in front and,being built on a hill, is only one storyin the back, so that the windows of theback bedrooms are very easy of accessfrom the ground. The house alwaysbore an uncanny reputation, standing

silent and untentanted for years, thegrim custodian of secrets which wouldnot bear the light of day.

The sailors passing it in their shipslook upon it in fear and trembling, andwhisper shudderingly of the fearfulcrime committed within its walls.

The story goes that some years agoan English family, consisting of thefather, a quiet, elderly gentleman, hiswife, son and daughter, rented thehouse in spite of the uncanny stories.For almost a year they lived there un-disturbed by either spook or hobgoblin.Christmas Eve while thoy were assem-bled in the sitting-room, around theblazing hearth, a noise was heard up-stairs which the father went up to in-vestigate. As he did not reappear hisson went after him.

Going up a steep narrow staircase thedoor at the head of the stairs leadingto the bedroom occupied by his motherand father, and which was partiallyajar, was violently slammed almost inhis face. For a moment surprise over-came him, then summoning his courageto his aid, he opened the door and stum-bled over the body of his father lyingjust within tho door, his throat cutfrom ear to ear, while the bedroomwindow/ opening on the road was wideopen. All investigations proved fruit-less, and the family soon after returnedto England.

The Japanese are a superstitious peo-ple, and it was not long after this thatthe house gained the reputation of beinghaunted; strange lights carried by un-seen hands were seen to flit from roomto room, unearthly cries were heard,and sometimes the clanking of heavy

chains. Not a native ln the city couldbe induced to pass the gloomy oldhouse after nightfalL

One day a party of Americans heardthe weird tales, which gained in horroras they were circled from Hp to lip, andthey decided to investigate the mystery

for themselves.Accordingly one Chrismas Eve upon

the anniversary of the tragedy, they be-took themselves to the house. Armedwith a large hamper of refreshments tokeep up their courage, unlimited cigarsand, of course, the inevitable pistols,they ensconced themselves ln the sit-ting-room with the door ajar.

The house was so near the water thatthe bells on the ships, chiming out thehours, could be distinctly heard. Thefore part of the evening passed awaypleasantly enough in Jokes and story-telling, when just as the bells tolled outthe hour of 12 the sound of a scrimmage

wras heard ln the room above, the veryroom where the old man had been sofoully murdered. For an instant they

looked at each other terror-stricken,then without a word one of them seizedhis pistol in one hand, the lamp ln theother, and led the way up stairs, closely

followed by his companions. Just asthey reached the head of the stairs thebedroom door was violently slammed,blowing out the lamp; some one produc-ed a match and relit it; then the leaderpushed open the door, and as he did sostumbled over the body of a man, lyingjust within the threshold. As he fellhe instinctively put out his hand tosave himself, when to his horror, hefound it was reeking with warm, hu-man blood. Thereupon he promptlyfainted.

With characteristic energy the Amer-icans set to work to probe the mysteryof the haunted house to the bottom. Thedead Jap was turned over to the au-thorities, who identified him as belnsone of a band of robbers who for yearshad succeeded in eluding the vigilanceof the police. A watch was set aroundthe house, and before long the wholeband was caught. At that time the lawsof Japan were very strict In regard torobbery; in fact, it was no unusualthing for a thief to be put to death.Before the execution one of the num-ber confessed that it was he wr ho hadmurdered the Englishman, afterwardsescaping from the open window. Itseems that the Japs were away on oneof their annual robbing expeditions anddid not know that the house was renteduntil their return. As usual, one ofthem entered through a back windowto see if the coast was clear. Hearing ancise down stairs he stooped to listen,and before he could make his escapethe old gentleman was in the room.Well knowing the consequence to him-self should the alarm be given, he ac-cepted the only alternative and killedthe old man where he stood.

After the family vacated the housethe thieves again made it their ren-dezvous, well knowing they would notbe disturbed by the superstitious na-tives.

The night the party of Americansmade their investigations the thieveshad just returned and had with them asick companion. Hearing the voicesand the sound of approaching footsteps,as some movement of theirs attractedthe attention of the party down stairs,they murdered their helpless companionand fled.

Thus was the mystery cleared away,but to this day the natives will not be-lieve, and the house is stin under aban, shunned by all, gloomy, desolateand deserted. BESELENA.

To Drive Flies Out of Stables.A correspondent gives to the "Rural

New Yorker" the following method ofdriving flies from the stable: Take oneounce of camphor gum, one ounce ofcorrosive sublimate, one pint of oil ofturpentine; grind the sublimate thor-oughly, put into a strong bottle, andadd the camphor gum. Pour on thetupentine and shake occasionally. Itshould be fit for use in thirty-six hours.Heat a piece of iron and drop a fewdrops on it in the stable. Flies maybe driven out of the house In the samemanner by dropping a few drops on ahot stove lid. By following these direc-tions every other day, I think anyonewill soon be rid of flle3.
