The programmes of Samuel A. Baldwin's

Victor Maurel announces that by specialarrangement wiih Miss Rita Saechetto, ofthe Metropolitan Opera House, a depart-ment of interpretative dancing and pan-tomime lias been organized at the VictorMan:.] institute, which will be under thesole direction of the premiere danseuse.

This music, which Vienna heard as earlyas 1872 ihas several striking episodes,among them its picture of the calm sea andof the mad dance thai culminates inSadko'B ripping off the strings of his dul-cimer.

"Sadko" is a musical tableau, written in

lSriT and revised in IS.C. Itis Op. 5, and is

dedicated to Balakirew. The legend onwhich it is based runs thus:

The- ship of Sadko, a dweller in Nov-gorod, has stopped in midocean. Chosen bylotj Sadko has thrown himself into thewaves as a sacrifice to the Sea King. Theship then continues on its course.

Left alone riinons; the waves. Sadko. withhis dulcimer, is drawn down by the SeaKinp into his submarine realm. He findshimself in the midst of a joyous festival.The Sea King is marrying his daughter tothe Ocean. The King, having commandedSadko to play the dulcimer, begins todance, and all the rest follow suit. TheO can begins also to execute a cumbrousdance, uniil it crushes and swallows up theships. Then Sadko tears away the stringsof his dulcimer, the dance ceases and thesea regains its calmness.

The picturesque Russian le£<>nd »f\u25a0 Sadko." as sot forth in music by Rimsky-

Korsakow. will be a novelty ai the lastsubscription concert of the .season, onThursday evening, March 3, under directioncf Moclest Altschuler. at Carnegie Hall.New, also, will be Glazunow's violin con-

certo, to be played by Mischa Elman, the

Russian virtuoso. By request Mr. Elman

will add Tschaikowsky's "Serenade Mel-ancoiique," to bs followed by the thirdsuite of Tschaikowsky, for orchestra.

As Mischa Elman is to start for Pittsburg

the same evening, the concert will begin

punctually at 8:15 o'clock. Klman was the

first to play the new Glazunow concerto inRussia, where he studied it with the com-

poser. This concerto is in three connectedmovements, and is said to reflect conserva-tive tendencies.

Contractors to Start on LastSectio n To-morroic.

Work will start to-morrow morning onthe last of the six sections of the Fourthavenue subway now contracted for. Strangeto say, the last of the sections to be placedunder way is section No. 1, which Mrs be-tween the end of the new ManhattanBridtre and Willoughby street, along theFlatbush extension. The contract for thesection has been set to J. P. Graham, whohas sublet it to Smith, Scott & Co. Thecontractors have built a double track tram-way running down to a dock beneath thebridge, where the dirt will be dumped intoscows.

The Fourth avenue subway, after yearsof delay, starred on November 13 with acelebration which was held under the au-spices of a committee of South Brooklynproperty owners. A feature of the meet-ing, which wa? held above section No. 2.which runs through the Flatbush avenueextension from WMoughby street to Ful-ton street, and thence to Ashland Place,

was the digging of the first few truckloadsof dirt. The contractor. William Bradley,l:;is continued t<> work on the excavation.He has kept an average of ISS men there,

and has so far removed 36.000 '>f the 800,000

cubic yards thru he must dispose of. Itis roughly calculated that 3.000,090 cubicyards must be excavated in riigaing the sixsections of the subway from the bridgeto a little beyond 42d street and Fourthavenue. The building of the sections, withthe pipe galleries, will cost 06,000,000.

While public attent on has iiwn chieflyattracted to the work on section No. 2,

which is just off the, shopping district, thecontractors have nut been idle elsewhere.Each contractor has his own especial ar-rangement for disposing of the dirt. Thedirt from section N<>. 2 will go to Gov-ernor's Island, where it will be used to fillin ground for the government.

BROOKLYN SOCIETY

-Among the persons who were arraigned

before Magistrate Nash in the Flatbushpolice court on

•--.a: waa one who

bore the questionable distinction of hav-fny once l*?en a Lincoln murder suspect.

The prisoner was Edward McCall, of No.2(17 Vanderbilt avenue. Detective Findercharged him with having violated the ex-cise law. When asked ifhe ad ever beenarrested before, he said that he had beenarrested once.

In I'v-'s he explained, be was an actor,

Wh^n President Lincoln -.vas- assassinatedhe like a number of other actors, was ar-rest«-d as a suspect. Aft«»r the death ofJohn WHSces Booth he was released. Mr-Call returned to the •-.-•' and remainedthere for several years. Later he madehis home in th*» Flatbosb section off Brook-lyn and was prominent for a time in thej«!iti--s of the section.

MeOali told the magistrate that he hadnot been arrested since his release fromprison, nearly haif a century asro. He washeld In Jl.'M> bail for Special Session?, whereiiwin be decided whether or not he is to

have an opportunity to compare the prac-tica! workir.es of the penal system ofCivilWar days with those In vogue to-day.

The Emmanuel Baptist Church willcharge no regular pew rent from to-day.

Hereafter pews will be regularly assigned,

as formerly, but the pewholdexs will pay

what they feel they can afford, end notwhat they have contracted to pay. The

Rev. Dr. John Humpsume, pastor of thechurch, explains the \u25a0• mm for the change

in the financial system as follows:"We believe that we will attract to the

church people, who do not feel able to rent

a x*ew. Then. too. we think it is moreChristian, as the church should be for all,and xnanv of our member* find it hard to

meet our*pew rents. There is in the planboth principle and policy, as our congre-gation is n<it wealthy.**

the owner. The trails, doors and parti-

tions of the building are to be of hollow

irCaeesof the building will be of stucco. In

the walls the hiocks must be of vitrifiedday. In the basement and first floor theMocks must be ten inches thick, and they

n-IUEt be eisrlu inches thick in the upperportions. The blocks at the floor, whichwfll be laid between concrete peams, must

1* eight inches thick aim n \u25a0,laati r will
