MUSICAL GOSSIP.
Tt Is now stionirlv suspected that the
tepoit of the death of Ellen Beach Yaw,
the phenomenal .sopiano, was simply
an ndvei Using dodge, and that Hing
hamtoii was selected by the slngei'a
li lends as a piopei out of the waj.
ulace In which to die. The scheme was
n good one, foi It took the outblde vvoild
neatly a week to get news fiom the
"Pallor City " The Blnghuinton Hei
ald gives ollkial inloimation on the
subject as follows:
"We obseive that out of town con
tempoiailcs have been publishing the
lepoit that I311en Reach A'aw "butst a
blood vessel In her tin oat while hing
ing In Hinghainton and died almobt ln
stantlj " This would be highlv linpoi
tant infoi iimtlon if It weie Hue, which
foitunatcly it Is not. Mlts Yaw has
not been In P.lnghamton In about eight
months. It has been tepoited that she
died eailj In Deceinbei in Los Angeles,
California, but bhe was billed to sing
in Seattle December 1!G, and It Is only
fall to piesuine that if she sang theie
on that date, she could not hive died
eaillei In the month at Los Angeles
Miss Yaw lb piobably alive and in spite
of lepoits to the contimj, may be cn
jojing excellent health. We tiust that
she Is."

havo appealed with Jean de Res?ke as
A'asco di Gama and Jean Lassalle as
Nelusco Hut she decided not to sing
the lole. "I have studied it and re
heaised It caiefullj," Mile Calve said
to a Sun leportei, "and bought the
most beautiful costumes, but I am
fiank enough to say that I cannot at
tempt the yait. I have not tho povvel
to sing the music I am vei sonj,
but I think It better for my reputation
to give up the pait now than to appear
In a lole In which I could not succei d.
I have vvoiked ovet the lole ab earnest
ly as I evei did over any In my lepei
tolre, and I give It up slmplj because I
know that I cannot sing it I have the

llcv. Joseph IC. Dlon Is evidently In
utgent demund by the Fiist Buptlst
congregation of Uiooklyn. The New
Yoilc Tribune of recent date says:
"The First Baptist chutch of the East
ern dlstilet, foitnetly In chnige''of the
Rev. Dt. Daniel Eddy, has sent an ul
timatum to the- Ilev. Joseph IC. DKoii,
of tho Ponn Avenue Baptist church in
Scianton, Pa, giving until Febiuaiy 1
next foi Dr. DKon to accept or de
cline the call leceiitly extended to him.
This places Di. DKon in a pccullat
position. Ills fiiends nay that he was
In hopes of having tho time extended
foi s.evetal months, In oulei to ninke
It easier for lilin to sever his lelations
with the Scianton chinch. Di. DKon
accepted a call to the chuicli In Scian
ton shottly aftei the death ot Dr. 13ddy
last year, going theie on Septembet 1.
Befoie he left he was Infoimally told
that the "lucant pulpit In the Flist
chuicli was his If he would accept It.
He wanted to accept, but as he had al
lendy accepted the Scianton call, ho
could not see his vvuy clear. Then ho
tried as delicately as possible to get a
leleaso ftoin (the Scianton ptople, but
they weie uppaiently steadfast In the
belief that Di. Dixon was an acceptable
preacher, and would not iclease him.
Now comes the imputative demand fiom
the Brooklyn chutch for a decisive an
swer. It is likely that Dr. Dlxoh will
lepeat his lequest to the Scianton
church to lelease him. The Flit chinch
pulpit Is a desirable one. The chuicli
Is at Leo avenue and Keai stieet. It
was organized In 1839, and Its- piosent
inombeishlp Is about live-bundled. The
Sunday school has a inombeishlp of 3SS.
The chinch has SOO bluings and the
chapel 700."
Di. DKon declines to be intei viewed.
In lesponse to a lepoitei's Inquliy lie
assumed the evasive and would neither
alllim oi deny the ttuth of tho New
