HAMMERSTEIN SELLS OUT. The Metropolitan Company Takes Over Its Only Rival and Will Appear in Phiadeiphia’s New Opera House. New York, April 28.—After a four | years’ struggle that has cost him all his time, some of his health and cer tainly a large share of his fortune, Oscar Hammerstein has gone out of the grand opera business for good. It took a very bad operatic year to do the job, but no one man can stand up against the opera deficit in its present day form. Even the millionaire direc- tors of the Metropolitan Opera com-| pany are jarred by the yawning dif- ference between outlay and receipts fnto which they are forced to peer every spring. So it fs a wonder that Oscar was able to stay in the game 80 long. Hammerstein received $2,000,000 for his interests. { The announcement of his retirement | was made in the following statement: from Samuel Untermyer, who conduct: | ed the negotiations: “An agreement has been reached between Oscar Hammerstein and Ed- ward T. Stotesbury, of Philadelphia, | by the terms of which Mr. Stotesbury and his assoclates acquire the Phila | delphia Opera House property and, Mr. Hammerstein retires from the field of opera in the cities of New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere. The | Manhattan Opera House will be de-| voted by Mr. Hammerstein to other | purposes. As a result of four years’ experience Mr. Hammerstein finds that the production of opera on the scale on which it has been his ambi tion to produce it has become increas ingly difficult year by year. The ex- actions of the artists, musicians and others brought about by the rivalry between the two opera houses has grown almost beyond control and has | been the occasion of such advancing prices that notwithstanding the gen: erous patronage accorded by the pub- lic each of the houses has been face to face with a deficiency. “Mr. Hammerstein is satisfied that it is in the interest of the opera-going public that these exactions shall be kept within bounds unless we are to be deprived of opera and that the only way to accomplish that purpose is to! have one opera house instead of two. | As the Metropolitan company has what amounts to a subsidy through its | stockholders. it can perhaps better | fulfil the public need.” The full significance of the transac. tion becomes plain only when it is: known that Mr. Stoteshury, who has’ been the most generous supporter of Mr. Hammerstein's Philadelphia enter | prise. hag heen added to the board of | directors of the Metropolitan Opera | company and that the future Philadel- | phia performances of the Metropoliten | Opera company will be given in the! Philadelphia Opera House, built hy i i | the result of a gas explosion at the Mine Explosion Kills Eighteen. Eighteen miners lost their lives as Youghiogheny & Ohio Coal company’s mine, at Amsterdam, about twenty miles from Steubenville, O. The place is practically inaccessible, but from the mrager reports the rescuers had a terrible time with the survivors and relatives of the dead men. One woman threw herself into the shaft. She is said to have fallen di rectly upon the body of her husband, who with eleven other miners died at the bottom of the shaft, overcome by the deadly after-damp before they were able t~ reach the open air. There were but twenty-five of the night shift of machine men working when the explosion took place, Seven of them were taken alive from the shaft, but before the rescuing party could return for the balance the deadly damp rolled out of the mine and drove the rescuers, made up entirciy of min. ers, back tr the surface. e———————— Accident In Colliery In Wales May Result Fatally to Men, London.

April 28.—That Mr and Mrs. Edward Callahan, found dead in bed at their home here, may not have died from asphyxiation by in haling burned gas fumes, as at first supposed, is the bellef of Coron-r Fouthwick and Police Chief Wingate.
