Ths late Elena Bunt, whose name has re.
centiy ben revived by the ault of, her aon
against the Spanish crown. not a Bo
hemian, but a pure-blooded Spaniard. She
vii educated musieully In Europe and came
to Maw York City In 173, at the very out
sat of her career. She sang at the Acad
emy of Music In October of that year, ap
pearing flrat aa Slebel In 'Taunt." Later
ahe ssng Aiurena and the regular con
tralto repertoire. Pauline Lucca wan the
tar of the troup. Mme. Ban returned the
next season to Europe and her only other
appearances In this country were made
when Max Maretrek. the Impresnarlo of the
company, brought the singers back for a
brief season In the spring.
Her vogue In Europe soon spread and she
was engaged at the Theater Realo. when
Alfonso XII met her. She continued to
sing and made a notable Carmen, a role In
which she was especially beloved In the
French provinces. Her royal lover grew
Jealous, however, of the few hours that she
are to the stage and Insisted on her re
tirement Bhe lived quietly In Madrid and
there her two sons were born.
Phe was enriched by him and thore was
an ample allowance made for her eons, who
were educated In Tarls. Elena Bans liter
ally gave away every cent that ahe pos
sessed. Her spartments swarmed with
Impoverished actors and singers, players In
the orchestras where she bad sung, formor
servants or old friends, who came to beg
of her. None went away unrewarded.
Bo long as the king lived she could not
know want and her Improvident gener
oalty did not matter. When he died, how
ever, and It was suggested she would be
better beyond the frontier, not a cent was
left. With only a trace of her former
beauty and voice left she started to give
concerts In the French cities that had
once applauded her so much. It was futile,
however, to attempt to revive the old-time
cordiality of her admirers and she soon
" ceased singing. Ten years ago she died, in
circumstances contrasting strongly with
those In which for a period she had lived,
but by no means In poverty.
Frieda Hempel In London.
Frieda Hempel. who succeeded Oeraldlne
Farrar at the Royal opera house In Berlin,
has repeated In London the great sucoess
she mads at her first appearance. It
seems that Mile. Hempel was engaged two
years ago in Berlin on the condition that
she go for a few seasons to some smaller
theater to acquire the necessary routine.
Bhe went to Stettin, sang there for two
seasons and Is now to be permanently In
Berlin, with occasional visits to Stettin.
Her grt success In London was made
as Evechon In "Die Melsterslngcr," -which
was sung without cuts and began at 5 In
the afternoon. There was a long Intermis
sion tor dinner after the first act. Mme.
Melba has been in such poor voice that
aha has not dared sing owing to a cold
contracted on her return tourv from this
country. Her place In London has been
taken by Mme. Donalda. As Blgnor Caruso
appears In the Italian operas, the audiences
have been as large as usual.
Katherlne Flelscher-Edel has reversed
her New Tork experience and met with
great success in the Wagner performances
at Cnvent Garden. She Is to return there
next yesr. Helnrlch Knote Is among the
Wagner . singers at Covent Garden this
wear, filenor CamDanlnl Is conducting the
Italian operas, There were three cycles of
the Ring conducted by Hans Klcntcr.
Waaallv Safonoff met with great success
at the concerts he conducted for the Lon

Hauptmann'a "The Sunken Boll." com
posed by a youthful compatriot named
Vladimir Mettel.

Verdi's old work U revived there next October.
Arthur Frledhelm, who Is well remem
bered here as a piano virtuoso, has com
posed an opera, "The Dancing Girl," which
has been produced with success In Lelpsto.
The German emperor has given $2,000 to
tho society which looks after the preserva
tion of the house at Eisenach In which
John Sebastian Bach was born. More than
110.0(4 has been raised for that purpose.
So great Is the ambition of Germans to
be admitted into the singing societies of
their country that there has been estab
lished In Berlin a school In which men
are trained In choral singing so as to In
crease their chances ot being admitted.
Slavers In Prance.
The lot of the singer is harder in France
than In any other country. Nowhere else
Is their helplessness In the hands of so
called agenta so great. A case recently
tried In a Paris court showed much of this
unhappy stats of affairs. A.yqying man
with a fine tenor voles applied to a teaoher
for Instruction. By the terms of his agree
ment he was to pay this Marseilles teacher
0 out of the receipts ot his first sngage
mont, then 10 per cent of what he received
every week and to take Instruction from no
other teacher. He was also forbidden to
accept any engagements without the con
sent of his teacher. After a short tlms
the professor died and the tenor, having
applied to Albert Carre of tha Opera
Comlqus, was told that he had a good
voice and ought to study, but sang so badly
that an engagement was at the present
tlms Impossible.
Ths widow of his flrat teacher brought
suit as soon aa he had obtained an en
gagement. She demanded the 1600 and In
addition tM f r his breach of contract In
going to another teacher, who finally en
abled him to secure an engagement. The
court decided in favor of tha young
ainger.
Paul Dukas aems to hava composed la
"Ariana at Barbe Bleu" ths most success
ful work that the Opera Comlque has pro
duced la some time. Maeterlinck has
written a beautifully poetlo text on the old
legend of Blue Beard, and Dukas' soore Is
said to be a revelation of th moat modern
school of French composition at Its bust.
Gworgetts Leblsno, who la Mm. Maeter
linck In private Ufa, had th leading rol.
Th laat of Andrl Measager's operas to be
sung at the Comlque was "Fortunlo,"
founded on De Musset's "La Chandller."
Ons of the first artists engaged by M. Mas
senet for the opera when he became co-
director was Mary Garden, the American
soprano. Th French government has voted
a large sum for repairs necessary In the
grand opera.
The season of the Theater de la Monnale
ended with two performances of "Tristan
und Isolde" In German, which Felix Mottl
went from Munich to conduct. Carl Bur
rlan and Marie Wtttlch of Dresden sang
the leading roles. Burrlan waa recently
decorated by th king of Saxony. So pop
ular are the operaa of Wagner In Brussels
that th seats for these performances were
sold out weeks In advance, although the
prices were doubled.
Luigi Manclnelll's "Franceses Paolo"
will be produced next season at La Scala.
Another Italian conductor who has an
opera ready Is Maestro Maacheronl, who
waa conducting last season In Madrid.
"La Peruglna" Is the nam of th work
he has Just completed.
Regina Pacini, who shares with Reglna
Plnkert the title of being the queen of
coloratura singers In Italy, has Just mar
ried and retired from the stage.
Pletro Mascagnl has been traveling
through Italy to conduct performances of
"Arnica," which he has rearranged. He
has been received everywhere with great
enthusiasm, for his country people have
not forgotten his first opera. There waa
little success, however, for "Arnica."

THRILLING TALE OF THE SEA
Trne Story tbat Makes the Efforts
of Flctloneers Item
Pany.
In the world's great srlst of news there
ar tales of th sea and Its dangers al
most every day. In on weok not' long
ago there were printed three stories of
shipwreck that rivaled Poe's "Narrative of
A. Gordon Pym." One ship burned on
Lake Michigan, and five of the crew died,
fighting to the last. Another ship went
down with all hands on board off the
lonely coast of Lower Java. Stilt another
became a waterlogged derelict In mid
ocean and her crew lived for a week upon
one barrel of soaked biscuit and a single
gallon of fresh water.
Stortea of this sort bob up almost every
day. When- they tell of ordinary ship
wrecks they receive a few lines qt ths
bottom of a page and the reading public
passes them unnoticed. It Is only when
something unique or extraordihary occurs
that the black-tread type calls attention
to It. These honors were nccorded a few
months ago to the adventure of Paul
Soldier, a Hungarian sailor, who fell over
board from the high bridge of the ocean
giant Carpathla while the ship was 200
miles from land, and after swimming
about for eight hours was picked up by
another vessel and safely returned to his
sorrowing relatives. Thus Soldier told his
own story:
"I fell asleep leaning on the rail on the
starboard side of the ship at the highest
point of the deck. I woke up all of a
sudden, with water all around me. I had
fallen forty-five feet. I am used to the
water, but there waa something awful
In coming to the surface and seeing the
cabin lights of a ship disappear In the
night.
"I heard a rattle, so I knew that they
were lowering a lifeboat. The big ship
stopped when It seemed almost out of
sight. I might have shouted, but I rea
soned that they would find me and I
would be wasting breath that I might
need.
"I had on all my clothes. Including an
overcoat. They begsn to b-r me down.
The current must have carried me, for
the ship got farther and farther away and
th boat was out of sight altogether. I
knew I must get out of my clothes. First,
I got off my shoes. I had to let myself
sink each time I unlaced a bit of the
strings, and I would struggle to the sur
face for air. Finally I got off my shoes
and I was almost exhausted.
"What did I think of? I am an atheist,
and I found myself asking If I believed In
God. I knew I was near death. My
friends used to tell me that when I was
rtear death I would see God as they saw
Him. I argued with myself, but I could
not believe.
"Then I thought of what the people on
the ship were thinking of me, and It gave
me Joy to Jthink thsy were sorry for me,
because I thought all must think me lost.
"I shivered In the cold. I thought of
sharks. I talked aloud. I fell asleep yes,
I fell asleep. That sounds funny, and It
scared me as I woke up with a stars as
the wiater came Into my nose end mouth.
I don't know how long I would sleep at
time. It probably was only a minute.
but It seemed half an hour. I would wake
up talking about the sharks. After a while
I fell to thinking of my wife and child. I
didn't .know where they were, men i
wondered If I were going to die, and I was
sorry because I could not go to sea a;aln.
"The time passed quickly. I suppose 11
was because my senses were so numb ffn
the cold. After a long time I saw a ship.
I could almost have cried for Joy. I must
have been In the water six hours then. I
was naked and cold and my legs and arm
were so tired. I rolled over on my alls and
watched the ship as I swam In the cold.
It was awful. I would nisasure the die
tance and the speed of the ship and
would look at the stars.
"I think I must have lost my head .
eral tlmea. The ship seemed to ba coralng
and then going. Finally I thought Bryant!
right In front of It and I shouted with aQ
my strength left. My shouts war heard,
I saw men leaning over tha aide. Then
saw a boat drop Into the water, with mea
at the oars. They came to me and held m
up. They dragged me Into the boat and
when we got to the side of th ahlp I
climbed up the rope ladder. I surprised my.
self In doing that.
"Once in the cabin I got some hot whl:;ky,
and after a time I told them my story. ,
They could not bellev m at first, bm
when we met tha Carpathla at Gibraltar '
they did. I had been la th sea eight J
hours." Baltimore Sun.
