II Teatro Slaslmo has laken many years to build ; It has already cost the city government about $4.000,000 , and when completed will have cost the tax payers of Palermo , In round numbers , ? 10- 000,000. This new ami really superfluous opera house Is , as all Palermltans proudly claim , the moat magnificent and perfectly appointed theater in all Europe , the Grand Opera of Paris , perhaps , alone exec-ptcd. All Palermo goes to the cpcra , from the nobility , who sit In glory In the private boxes , down to the general "rag , tag and bobtail , " who pawn their cloaks. It cloaks ( hey have , to get the price of admission to the second gallery. The New York Morning Journal Is respon sible for the statements that : "It Is doubtful It Lillian Hussell y.11 ! sing In this country next season. It Is doubtful. In fact , If she will be under the management of Abbey , Schocffel and Grau. Mr. Abbey Is said to have como to an understanding with her that should the new opera by DeKoven and Smith prove to bo not a success , their tlgree- menl will come lo an end , and Sllss Hussell will retire to the continent for a year's rest. There Is no braver woman In the world than Lillian Hussell , but Just now she seems to bo fighting against great odds , and Is costing her management a gre-at deal of money. The firm Is out on the whole en gagement somelhlng between fTo.OOO and $100,000. The rumor that Clara Louise Kellog's for tune has been se-rlously Impaired by the fail ure o Cassell's appears to have been with out foundation. The famous prlcna donna has enough and to spare , and smiles at such canards. The third "pop" concert In the Young Slen's Christian association COIITPO was given In the auditorium Tuesday evening , by Iho Slozarl quartet , Miss Boulter , planlste and Sirs. H. C. Sundorland , reader. Six hundred people pronounced It a success from first to last. The Slozarts aroused/ enthusiasm In their Sailors' Chorus , " land Maintained It with un- aballng Inlenslty through "Annie Laurie , " "Da. Ba , Black Sheep" and "Good Night. " Applause came thick and fasl. but the quar tet responded genprously with encores of an extremely popular na'ture. Of thess the "Slonkey Song" was .probably the favorite , partially on account ot Mr. Hoffman's humor and peculiar situation a.t the end of the piece. As a pianist , Sliss Boulter Is exceptionally true and conscientious. "La Castagnette" was very well received. "Eternity" was Sir. Sunderland's tenor solo. A beautiful BOHR well rendered. The cnUre theme was brought out well and the climax was an artlsllc effort showing a voice of good power and resonance. Sir. Hoffman's so'ngs created manifest Inter- esl. Tre-mendous volume , pure lones and ap- parenlly no limit of depth lent an element which Is so rare In bas-slngers. Brlgham's two songs. "The Slonarch" and "Pearls , " having had a Hoffman rendition , arc now known as they were meant to be known. Per haps the most artistic numbers on the- pro gram were those assigned to Sirs.

While "Superba" Is described an a 'spectacular production , " there Is not a single eature that the most fastidious could object o. Every attention ( o detail that might be xpectcd from a skilled and conscleitllous nanrtgement was given to the production , hero was uo btlnl of money , the very best conic nrtlsls In tua world had reo play for their crcutlvc skfU ml the members of Iho casl vore selected for their ability and prominence.

It would appear from the following little skit , published In the London Times of 1821. that all the sky rocket Journalism has not been kept up In the United States , and that this old-time conservative journal could give some ot our newspapers pointson sen sational bluff. The following Is a moving ac count of Sirs. SIddons' flrst appcaranco In Dublin : "On Saturday Mrs. SIddons , of whom all the world has been talking , ex- losod her beautiful , adamantine , soft and lovely person for the first time at Smock Alley theater , In the bewitching , melting and all-tearful character of Isabella. From the repeated panegyrics In the Impartial London newspapers wo are taught to expect the sight of a heavenly angel , but how were we supernaturally surprised Into the most awful | oy at beholding a mortal goddess. "Tho house was crowded , with hundreds more than It could hold , with thousands of admiring spectalors lhat went away without u sight. "This extraordinary phenomenon of tragic excellence ! This star of Slelpomene ! Tills comet of the stage ! This sun of the firma ment of Ihc muses ! This moon of blank verse ! This queen and princess ot tears ! This Donnellan of the poisoned bowle ! This empress of pistol and dagger ! This chaos of Shake.'peare ! This world oC weeping clouds ! This fund of commanding aspects ! This Terpsichore of curtains and scenes ! This Proserpine of fire and earthquake ! This Katerfelto of wonders ! exceeded admiration , went beyond belief , and soared above all the natural powers of description. She was na ture Itself. She was the most exquisite work of art. She was the very daisy , primrose , tuberose , sweetbriar , furze blossom , gllll- flower. wall flower , cauliflower , auricula and rosemary ! In short , she was the bouquet ol Parnassus. "When expectation ran so high lt was thought that she would be Injured by bet appearance , but it was the audience that was Injured. Several fainted before the curtail : drew up ! But when she came to Ihc scene of parting with her wedding ring , ah ! what a sight was there ! The very fiddlers of the orchestra , albeit unused to the melting mood blubbered like hungry children crying foi tholr bread and bulter ; nnd when the bel rang for music between the acts the tear ; ran from the bassoon player's eyes In sucl plentiful showers that they choked the flURei stops , and , making a spout of the Instru merit , poured In such torrents on the firs fiddler's bock that , not seeing the overtun was In two sharps , the leader of the bane actually played In one Hat. But the sob1 and sighs of the groaning audience and tin nolso of the corks drawn from the smellini hollies prevenled the mistake being dlscov prod. One hundred and nlno ladles fainted forty-six went Into flts and ninety-live hai strong hysterics. Fourteen children , flvo oh women , 100 tailors and six common conn cllmen were actually drowned in the Inutula tlon of tears that flowed from the galleries slips and boxes , to Increase the briny pom In the pit.

A Colored Woman's club , the flrst attempt at concerted literary work among the colored women of this city , waa organized on St. Vaentlne's day with eighteen members , which number has since increased lo thirty-four. The dues are merely nominal , being but $1 per year , thus putllni ; It within Iho reach of all. The sreatesl difficulty Is In getting ( .tillable rooms In which to hold lectures. The only rooms offered are the lecture rooms ot several churches. The members want to make their club strictly non-sectarian and therefore hesllalo to use any ot these rooms. They have as yet formed but two depart ments , the dep.irtmenl of political economy and the current toplo class. It Is Ihe desire lo educalo Iho members In civil government so they can use their Influence Intelligently. The club Is partlculatly Interested In the school question. There Is considerably more education and culture among the colored women ot this city than people usually think Ihere Is. The president of the club Is Sirs. Slahammltl. She was educated In Kansas City and taughl lor nine years In the public schools of that city. She Is a woman of broad thought and great refinement. She Is an Indefatigable worker for the advancement and the higher education of her people. She Is up to date and In touch with nil the leading workers and philanthropist ! ! engaged In such work. She Is also a lobbyist of no small influence. Through the agency of the club a petlllon to the legislature In regard to the social purity question was offered. This petition had 150 names attached and was the first thing ot the kind ever attempted In the state by the colored women. The club also worker for the anti-cigarette bill , but do not approve of It In Its present mutllalcd con- dllion. At the conclusion of the last meeting a commltte-B was appointed to visit the colored fire company and present to the captinn and his men the congratulallons of the Woman's club on their appolnlmcnt and Its earnest wishes that they might pass their probation successfully and In due lime become ona ot Iho most proficient companies In the depart ment. The topic for the next meeting Is "Assess , ment and Taxes. " Some good papers are ex pected. Through the efforts ot the president most of tha women hold library cards.

Already twenly-flvo persons have applied lo the "garden spot" people for land. Appli cants are being assigned to spots as rapidly as possible. Superintendent Wear Is breaking ground and preparing It for seed , and liop ° s lo have the plats ready for applicants early in the week. One great trouble with appli cants h that Ihoy all want too much grounl. .Many are not i'atlsflexl with a half acre , and demand two acres or nothing. City Engineer Deal Is surveying the ground and marking it off Into small tracts. Dr. Ensor , as presi dent of the company , has asked the county commissioners to furnl h this enterprise with 200 bushels of seed potatoes. If the request Is granted , planting will commence at once. It not , the gentlemen at the head of the comjuny will buy all the seed necessary dur ing the week. Addlllnnnl Men Put in Work. Last week a half dozen machinists were sent to Evanston to go to work In the shop on account of an Increased demand for rolling stcck , which must lie In good condition be fore going on the road. And so gradual has the Increase In business come that other shops along the system will have to be ad ditionally manned In order to bo able to take care of the equipment as it comes out of the. winter. But the Increase Is not confined to the shops , section forces along the line of the Union Pacific , particularly In the western states , having been considerably Increased during the past week or ten days , owing to the dangerous condition of the cuts on the western end of the system. In some of the cuts there Is danger of boulders becoming loosened , as the trost comes out of the ground , and by falling upon the tracks , doing con siderable damage. In view of this yearly danger , the sfctlon forces are being Increased as much for patrol duty as anything else. Kilvrr Vtmilling Oti'liratlnn. Sir. anl Sirs.
