The Tisits of Parepa-Eosa, Christine Xilsson' and the Pattis. HOW WACHTEL ELECTRIFIED THE TOM IHiUl'tUI rOB THE DisrATcn.i Adam would be an old man now if lie were living. And being old, he would never hare done telling us how much better the apples were in his young days than any apples that are raised now. The ejes of old age become long-sighted, bat the far-away things they look upon are the things that have been. I am not old. Far otherwise. Bat there is jost frost enough upon my head to set me thinking very pleasantly of the time when the weather was all summer sunshine, and when never a raven croaked among all the birds thataang to us. How many of those song-birds there were; snd how the music they made echoes among the notes of to-day, causing many of them to seem but feeble enough twitterings Some re jcent events have called up more than the usual number of recollections connected 'with old-time musical experiences in Pitts , burg, and a disposition to gossip about them has been provoked. An event of signal importance occurred when old Masonic Hall was still the place where Pittsburg's best and choicest thronged "to hear music and oratory. Here, not so 1 very long after the war had ended, came Jlsdam Pare pa to reveal to us how much of heaven's music a woman can carry in her throat. Only a little blowing of trumpets herald ed her coming. She was so far unknown that many mnsic-lovers debated among themselves whether it would be worth ' while to go and hear her. That question was never asked again. The first golden notes she uttered assured us (hat one of the - world s greatest sincere hud come among us; and lone before the last note had sound ed Parepa was a Pittsburg favorite. And that meant a great deal. Uot only were the people her admirers; they were her iriends. For a more lovable, womanly woman is rarely seen, ou the stage or ott it, than was Parepa. THEY LAUGHED "WITH HER. Kot one in the audience appreciated more keenly than she the funny possibilitiesofawk wardness created by her immense size. Bnt she never was awkward. When little Carl P.osa, who was the violinist of the troupe, led her upon the stage in answer to a recall, the audience tried not to langh at the absurd nwctacle. But Parepa realized the ab surdity as fully as any of themjand she sent far down upon her diminutive escort such a smile of good-natured appreciation that everybody laughed with her. Mobody ever lanehed at her. Later, when she sang here in opera, the same genial spirit of appreciative humor saved many a scene from the wreck of ridi cule. Nothing could be much funnier than the attempt of Susannah to personate the Countess in "The Marriage of Figaro", when Parepa was Susannah and sweet voiced little Bose Thersee was the Countess. But the ponderous maid appreciated the fun bo richly that the audience only enjoyed her appreciation or it She married her little escort of that first evening, and was known thenceforth as Hadam Parepa-Eosa. Theirs was a happy married life, but it ended far too soon. These many years Parepa has been only a memory. Bnt who of us would exchange that memory for much gold? There may have been singers who gave us better art, "bnt has there bea one who gave us better xnnsic? Hot in Masonic Hall, but in Library Hall, where the Bijou Theater now is, was Christine Nilsson heard in her first Amer ican season. Those who were young then will remember that first concert night when they are old. The exquisite art, the bril liant execution, the melodious sweetness and the pretty audacities of the splendid Swede were not things to forget And when she gave the mad scene from "Hamlet," which was introduced as a concert number, she produced at least one impression that would not readily depart. To see Ophelia raving melodiously in a gown of scarlet silk, and tearing her hair with such methodical mad ness that not a diamond in the multitude of gems which crowned her was disturbed, was something to remember indeed. But it was only afterward that it seemed incongruous. Christine Xilsson could have made stranger things than that seem consistent and har monious while her audience listened to her. XILSSON'S GREATEST TRIUMPH. Tbeclimaxof her triumph was when she eang, in prettily oroKen .English, "Xiie Old Folks At Home." If Stephen C. Foster bad eTer seen, with the bodily eve, the Suwannee river I doubt if he would have written that song; for the stream is not one to get homesick lor. Bnt he did write the ballad, and Pittsburg loved it and was proud or it And when this great singer sitlg it with tender pathos she had her au dience at her feet, and raised a glad commo tion ot applause which must have thrilled even her heart with triumphant pleasure. In later year, while crossing the North ern part of Florida, I happened in a railroad car :n which all the other passengers were members of a minstrel troupe, passing from Tallahassee to Jacksonville. As the train crept upon the bridge across the Suwannee river every one of those men, by a common impulse, began to sing; and ttie song they Bang was "The Old Folks At Home." They sang it perfectly, and I, listening then to the song in the place Foster had written .nbont, thought of that other time when I had heard it sung in the place where Foster had written it And to this dav I nm nnt qnite snre but I liked the minstrel rendering the better! Annie Louise Cary, if memory is not in fault, was heard here for the first time with Xilsson; and the singer from Maine fairly divided the honors with the singer from Sweden. Her triumphs were genuine and well-won. Is there any contralto like her to-day? A PITTSBURG FAVORITE. ,Long before any of these singers were heard in Pittsburg, Caroline Bichings was t 'Reestablished favorite here. English opera ' 'owes to her a debt which should insure a jjionnment to her memory; perpetuating, ' o"t the pitiful tragedy of her death, bnt the really noble achievements of her life. No monument is needed, however, to recall to members of this generation the delights afforded by the "Bichings" Quartet" Caroline Bichings, Mrs. Seguin, Castle and Campbell those are names to conjure with, even now. Nobody who heard them in he old days, forgets how delightfully they gave ns "Martha," and "Maritana," and "Fra Diavolo and "The Bohemian Girl." But the adopted daughter of Peter Bich ings was bereft of the support of her old al lies. Mrs. Seguin, Castle and Campbell went over to Parepa Eosa when she organ ised an English Opera Com pan r, and the zLt i it.!. .. r i !i! l't. 3 , piucnj iuuc nuiuau juiuiHim recraitea ner little army anew. I do not recall who were her contralto and her tenor, bat Henri Dray ion,, a phenomenal baritone, appeared in 'CsniDbeirs old place. ,A week, splendidlymemorable in the mu sical annals of Pittsburg, came to pass in the opening season of the tuneful war that ensued. Both the rival organizations ap peared here at the same time. The Bich ings troupe sang at the Opera House; the other, I believe, at Library Hall, or was it the Academy of Music? Never before did Pittsburg experience a week of srfth music madness as at that time. Managers declared that no other city in the country would give to opera companies such eager and enthu siastic support as the Smoky City gave these two "com nanies that week. Both houses were packed to the last inch of standing! room every alght It ww a musical cam paign, and party feeling ran high. On the same night of the week both com panies gave the old favorite "Martha." And on that nightmany people bought seats in both houses, remaining a part of the evening at one place and then going lo the other, that there might be a better opportu nity to judge between the rivals. It was said that there was an almost complete ex change or audiences between the two houses that night Those were times worth remem bering, indeed! -THE TWO PATTIS. Carlotta Patti, too, awoke enthusiasm here when she first appeared. There were times afterward when she was heard at a dis advantage so far as her audiences were concerned. But at her best she was one to rave about "With a voice of marvelous brilliancy and sweetness, capable of higher notes than any other singer; with a per fection of execution almost unrivalled, and with the best of artistic methods, it needed only that she should be freed fromher lame ness to become at least the dangerous rival of her sister. But Carlotta was lade to such a degree that it was painful to see her move across the stage. So Adelina reigned n nnppn. and holds the ecenter stllL But Carlotta would be a queen, too, and she refused to sing in an English provincial town where she had been announced as "the sister of the great Adeline Patti." She felt herself to be the great Carlotta Patti, who would have made the family name im mortal if the more fortunate sister had never been heard of. As to Adelina Patti, she belongs to the present as much as to the past, and is not a subject for reminiscence; although I remem ber the time of her first appearance in New Xork, and more years have come and gone since then thau she would care to count, I suspect And alter her appearance the critics scolded her for taking liberties with her music, and gave her much good advice, which itis to behopedsheprofitedby. Then.as now, the past was better than the present; and Mali bran and Grisi and many more were casting their shadows upon Adelina Patti. Does anybody now remember Brignoli? Surely no swetter tenor than he ever thrilled the smoky air of Pittsburg. In listening to him one almost forgot that there was any other kind of melody thau the melody of his delicious voice. He sang "O Summer Night," and a winter night seemed impossi ble. He sang "Good-by, Sweetheart! Good-by' and who could remember that the singer had a wife who was none too happy? He lost his good looks; he became fat and was not pleasant to look upon; bnt still his voice maintained its spell, and he charmed people almost as of old. But not for long. He became less and less of a real ity, and then less and less of a memory; and now there is a whole generation of concert goers who know nothing whatever about him. And Theodore Hableman. He was another tenor who made Pittsburg captive in days gone by. He was handsome enongh to make an evening fairly satisfactory if he had bnt stood upon the stage without opening his mouth. But it was no part of his business to keep his mouth closed. He could sing in the most ravishing manner, and be could act well, beside. So, with his handsome face and figure, his delightful voice and his dramatic ability, he was very near to being the ideal operatic tenor. To see and hear him in "Fra Diavolo" was SOMETHING TO REMEMBER, Bnt it was in "La Dame Blanche" that Pittsburgers seemed to like him best, be cause in that he sang "Bobin Adair." One felt, in hearing that song, that nobody else ought ever to try to sing it. And it may be doubted if anybody else ever did sing it quite so perfectly as Hableman sang it Tnen there was that man with a skyrocket in his throat Wachtel the man who seemed to have no top at all to his voice. He came here heralded by the New York papers as "the steamwhistle of the gods," and he took the town by storm the first night He ap peared here first in "II Trovatore," and be fore the audience had caught a glimpse of him he had electrified everybody in the house. In the serenade behind the scenes he leaped far aloft with a single clear, piercing hum; niucu 0CCWCU in uavc wiuga, y rrrga it soared. No previous Mdnrico had addressed Leonora in that way and from such a height The audience caught its breath and broke into tumultuous applause; and the tuneful ex-coachman had achieved success before his hearers had looked upon him. Bat it was not as Manrico that he created most enthusiasm. It was as the Postillion of Lonjumeau, cracking his whip in miracu lous fashion in perfect time with the rollick ing, dashing retrain he sang. That was a mingling of melody and mechanical skill which captivated everybody. A man who had been crowned king over all these, but whose crown had long since been jostled off by cruel time, came here in the vain hope of regaining something of bis former kingly state. Broken in fortune by some unmerciful disaster, the great Mario came forth from the seclusion where he had dwelt among splendid memories, and des perately strove to win some provision for his last years. In his prime wealth had come at his faintest call, and it was hard if he must now call in vain for bread. But he heard no echo of the former plaudits from the audiences he tried to sing for. It was beyond measure pitiful to hear the poor old man striving in vain with cracked voice to make people realize that Mario, one of the greatest tenors of the world, was singing for them. It is not a pleasant recollection. Perhaps, after all. Pittsburg has gained more enjoyment, taking one year with an other, from the musical talent at home within its borders than from the occasional visits of world-famous singers. Music is at home here, and -appreciation of it is the normal state of mind. But it was only with professional singers that this gossip pro posed to deal. James C. Puhdy.

THAKESGIYING DAI ON THE AGEKCI icoasEsroKSKKCE or tux dispatch, j Redrock, Oiae Agency, L T., Novem ber 27. General Gardner, special , agent, and D. M. "Wood, the new agent for the Ponca, Pawnee, Otae and Tonkawa tribes of Indians,passed through Otae en route to the Pawnee agency, with $21,500 in hard money and scrip, with which to pay the Pawnees their annuity mouey. The train was quite imposing, with the Indian policemen, three abreast, riding ahead to clear the road of lurking banditti. If they had. only had camels instead of the independent Govern ment mules, and horses of Pharaoh's lean kind, we might have thought we were in Egypt, when Jacob and his family made a final visit to Joseph. One of the horses dropped dead on the journey. The poor thing died in the harness, either from over driving or exhaustion caused by ill usage on previous occasions. But it was in good hands when it passed away to its haven of rest, and the matter can be easily "fixed up" with Uncle Sam, whereas, if a subordinate had been so unfortunate an investigation would have been necessary. General Heath, an ex-rebel general, who was an inspector during the last administration, killed two horses during a flying trip through this part of- the country. He received a telegram to report as quickly as possible at two certain points. He reported, but horseflesh and Government money paid the penalty. General Gardner is only a special agent now, bat wants his old place as inspector. He will have that or nothing, he says. He is the best inspector in the Indian service. He is rather rough and uncouth in his man ner, but frank, honest and outspoken. He is no respecterof persons; dealingout justice without regard to party, friends or any in fluence they may possess. Not so with some others who" seem to have sympathetic ears for all the ladies' troubles and trials, and who will allow themselves to be buttonholed by them, magnify trivial affairs into moan tains, give verdict accordingly, thereby causing great disturbance sometimes. One of these nice, pliable inspectors who agrees with you in everything, then agrees with your adversary in the same man ner; one of these "yes, yes" men in speaking of the qualifications of an Indian school su perintendent said: "Shouldn't he have a sweet, amiable disposition?" "Certainly he should, but accompanied by grit" There is such a thing as BIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION. A corps of disinterested, lazy employes will not improve the sweet, amiable dispo sition of an interested, zealous, energetic superintendent He will occasionally dis play the indignation of a Moses. And if there is one place above another to try men's souls, and women's, too, it is to be in an Indian school and be interested and see such a neglect and shirking of work by some of the employes. The governing of the Indian children very often is but a drop in the bucket compared with the control ling of the employes. But this is only the case where there is a lack of interest and real love for the elevation of this people. The Pawnees have 1376,000 for the sale of their lands in Nebraska invested in United States bonds and in other securities, on which they receive annually S per cent in terest Then they have $14,000 accrued interest, besides $10,000 appropriated r by Congress. The. tribe is decreasing fast: In 1885 there were 1,380; to-day tbey number but 762. At this rate, unless they soon be come civilized sufficient to take their lands in severalty and attend to the disbursement of their own money, the conscience fund in the United States Treasury will be largely increased. The $21,500 they received will be equally divided, the babies receiving as much as their fathers and mothers. The trains of Pawnee wagons en route to Arkansas City will join the innumerable caravans of dis gusted boomers, and the road will be kept dusty and (he school children's necks stretched to see the sights as they pass, equal to a circus almost The trader's store will reap some oi the harvests of the $21,500, but the greater part of it will be deposited with the Arkansas City mer chants, who will be very accommodating with "John" and his dusky wife and babies. They will come borne saturated with per fume, loaded down with silk handkerchiefs and cheap trinkets, smuggled firewater in ternally and externally, sold to them by de signing, mean white men. This is the way they spend their money. It is "come easy, go easy." The Otoe Indian children are now study ing the "Child's Health Primer," an excel lent little book just suitable for their minds. "We had a lesson a few days ago about the nerves, and the effect oi alcohol and tobacco , upon them. LITTLE INDIAN TOPEES. At the close of the recitation the question was asked how many in the room had tasted whisky or alcohol? Seventeen boys and five irls raised their hands. "How many have een drunk?" was asked. Five boys raised their hands. The question seemed to weigh upon their minds, for as I passed through the dining room several hours later one of the large girls called to me and told me very confidentially that little Katie Carson was drunk the same time John De Boin "was. The children are not to blame. It is given to them by their parents, and their parents are not wholly to blame, it is sold to them in a prohibition town by mean white men. The root of the trouble lies'at the door of this civilization we are offering to them. "We must educate them to be strong enough to resist the evil. "We cannot keep our loved ones or those in whom we are interested free from the evil that is in the wbrld. It is here, and, overcome, works in us and for us great good. Thanksgiving Day is almost over. The gray light that still lingers on the horizon makes visible the few lonely Indian graves on the hillside. Just one is marked by a simple marble slab that bears his name, age and an anpropriate verse of Scripture. It was bought with the last annuity money one mm, came alter uu emancipated lorm was laid away in the grave. One year ago he was merry with the rest of us. The fawn, with its large, magnificent eves, that has been a pet with us all summer, but 'sold to the Indians yesterday for their Thanks giving feast, has gone the way of all living, and the lean, hungry Indian 'dogs are feast ing on its bones to-night. The six foolish wild turkeys that ventured too near civiliza tion yesterday mourn the loss of the largest and gayest of theirnumber, and its feathers, with those of other tamer fowls, bedeck the Indian boys' bats. And so life is evermore fed bv death, and all seems strange and lull of mystery to our finite minds. , Bedbied. Until January 1 our store will be open evenings. M. J.
