MUSICAL MENTION.
r
Three hundred and seventy-five women
met at tho Ohio State University, Satur
day afternoon, to give to Mrs. Oanfield
and Mrs. Milne who leave Columbus
Boon a farewell reception. Mrs. Can
field's becoming white costume received
its finishing touch when Mrs. E. L.
Kurtz presented her with a lovely star
shaped pearl pin. from the board of
directors of the City Federation. A fine
copy of Greuze's picture, "La Cruche
CaBsee," were givon her by the ladieB
who wero associated with her in the
managomont of the rocont public 6chool
art exhibition; and every woman present
signed her name in a book, bound with
white vellum, with a monogram in gold
on the cover, which was preeontod
momonto of Mrs. Canfield's life
work in our city.

KICKERS.
A. recent article in an exchange on
Summer hotels may be applied to other
purveyors who escape well deserved
criticism by answering all complaints
with remarks about "kickers."
"More familiar than all these excuses
and explanations of the exasperations
and frauds that Summer hotels inflict
upon their patrons is the dictum it
has become a very fetich among boni
faces that complaints come only from
pooplo who 'ain't used to anything at
home.' Under the shelter of that trite
phraso the hotel-keeper calmly and de
fiantly ecattors insomnia, malaria, dys
pepsia and nervous prostration among
hundreds of innocent men and women,
to say nothing of plucking their purses.
No matter what the aggravation of the
complaint may be, the landlord invari
ably falls back on that handy whine
that the don't havo no trouble except
with folks who ain't used to anything
at homo.' I remember hearing a man
inform tho clerk of a Saratoga hotel
that rho coiling over his bed had be
come water-soaked by the defective
plumbing in the room above and was
liablo to fall at any moment, and the
clerk promptly turned to a companion
and mumbled something about fellows
who 'ain't ueod to anything at home'
and who 'puts on lugs the minute they
got with respectable people.' In similar
vein I recall the remark of a college
Bophomoru employod bb clerk, during
hjis vacntion, at a Bar Harbor inn. A
woman guest complained of the im-
Tho coming of tho Bostonians had
boon anticipated by a largo number of
peoplo who havo enjoyed previous per
formances given by this popular com
pany. A fooling of regret was exper
ienced at the omission from the list of
Bingers of the namo of Eugeno Cowlos
who was always a favorite. It iB not too
much to say that McDonald, Barnabee,
and Jessie Bartlett Davis wore enjoyed
last night as much as they wore ten or
more years ago when the company pre
sented "The Bohemian Girl" in this
city. Mr. Broderick, president of the
brigands and Mr. Lavin, secretary were
both fine, the lattor having a most ex
cellent tenor voice. Mr. Hawloy's face
was not an ideal one for a lover in the
part of Alvarado, but his singing and
acting wero good. Much, porhaps, too
much; had boon oxpocted of Victor
Herbert's opera by those who had not
previously beard Tho Serenade, conso
quontly it was disappointing. Tho
music much of it is bright and catchy.
The serenade which gives the title to the
opera will be heard doubtless more or
less, and the song sung when Dolores
entered the convent, an obligato with
chorus was really very pretty, but the
plot was uninteresting and lacked in re
finement. The BostonianB are worthy
of a better medium for the display of
their talent, and Victor Herbert a bntter
libretto around which to entwino his
musical conceptions.
