MML CUTTER-SAVAGE Who Will Slngr the Music of the First Flower Maiden 1n the "Parsifal" Concert. t About the Home Life . of .Two Great Singers Wrlt.rD escribes tHe Dwelling Places of Madame Sembrich and SchuinannHelnh rADnrapnvnWT nn mu?iral vyiviii-k;i w.i I topics for the Chicago RecordI TT 1,1 I sn art n 1 n i n ? way, of the home life of two of the world's greatest singers Madame Sembrich. the toprano, and Madame Schumann-Heink, the contralto. The eoprano, he says, dwells In Dresden, on the Canaletto Strasse, and the contralto lives half an-hour's Journey from that city, in a fashionable suburb known as Koetschenbroda. In Villa Tene, No. 1 Meissen Strasse. Continuing, he writes as follows: Mtne. Sembrlch's husband confesses that the Dresden mansion cost marks. It Is said that the singer, who has been pru dent, has a fortune of $2.000.000. so that the house is not an extravagance for her. It Is situated in the center of a large park and overlooks beautiful walks and fountains. Mme. Sembrich is fond of outdoor life, and she Is never happier than when walking about her own garden glvim; directions to her gardeners or lending a hand in trimming a plant or watering a pet rosebufeh. The interior of the hous Is beautifully decorated. No singer, with the exception of Mme. Pattl, has received so many decorations and wreaths as Mme. Sembrich. On the walls of one room are huns ribbons that were attached to wreaths and decorations. In another room she has placed all her gold wreaths. There arc more than twenty of these, from Emperor Wilhelm I of Germany, the Emperor Frederick ("Unter Fritz"), the Czar of Russia, the Grand Duke of Weimar, Count Hofburg. Anton Seldl and his orchestra, and others. Mme. Sembrich has a large collection of paintings. Including many portraits of royalty and great musicians. In her music room is an American grand piano. She also has a fine library. The queen of song is an early riser. She studies an hour before breakfast, which consists of eggs, fruit, toast and coffee. Immediately after breakfast, providing the weather is at all propitious, she drives to King Albert's Park, where she walks for an hour. Returning home, she sees her servants and gives directions concerning the housework. Dinner Is served at 2 o'clock. At night a cold supper is served at 7. Mme. Sembrich lives as the rich in her station live. Everything about the house is done elegantly. She and her husband often dine at the restaurants of Dresden. Both have many frlend3 and many visitors, and everyone likes them. They do a great deal for charity. They have one son, now nineteen years old.-.IIe cannot sing at all, and is an art printer.. Mme. Sembrlch's husband is Prof. Wilhelm Stengel, who was her teacher In Vienna.' She has studied the violin and the piano, and plays both instruments exceptionally well. In Europe she Is as much a . favorite as in America, and she can earn imctlcally as much In the old country as she can on this side of the Atlantic? In Berlin she is idolized. In the hous of Mme. Schumann-IWnk everything is more homely. There are eight children In the family, and all save one are at home. Mme. Schumann-IIeink is the typi cal German housewife, taking as much pride in her linen closet as she does In her beautiful voice. She Is happiest when she is at home, with her children about her and presiding at her own table. Her home is in the midst of a park In the little suburb with .the big name. All about there are mountains, for the village is in what is known as the Saxon Switzerland. In the summer time the entire family, including the mother, go about in their bare feet. There is no hint of style In the house. It is a ca3e of early rising and early to bed, and plenty of physical exercise. Mme. Schumann-IIeink does little with her voice when she is at home. She has entire charge of the family, and with eight children, the youngest only four, there is always plenty to do. The youngest child, by the way, was born In America, and bears the name of George Washington Schumann, f In explanation of her hyphenated name it may be added that the singer was married twice. Her second husband. Herr Heink. was" formerly stage manager at the Stadt Theater, In Hamburg, where he met her. She was then Mme. Schumann. After the German custom, she added his name to her own. Mr. Heink had two children when he married her, and she had one. Together they have five more. The children all love one another, and there Is never a semblance of misunderstanding. Mme. Schumahn-Helnk is fond of America and things American. This is due, in a measure, to the fact that her real prosperity began when she came to this country to sing. Her house Is furnished almost entirely with American articles. She has not only many souvenirs and bits of bric-a-brac, but also has an American tea service, china service, bathroom, and even an inhaling machine, which she shipped across the water. She also has an American piano In her music room. All the children in this family are musical. They have been strictly and religiously brought up. When the mother is away, the eldest daughter, now seventeen, keeps things in order about the house. The family has the American breakfast food habit, the first meal of the day never being complete without some kind of cereal with a patent name. One odd feature of the house Is the part set aside for the use of Mme. SchumannHeinle's mother-in-law. She is rather old. and in order to please her there has been reserved for her a sitting room, bedroom and kitchen on the second floor. She has her own servant, and can live all alone if she cares to. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? The Milks Emulsion Company, of Terre Haute, Ind., are out with an offer to rure the worst case of Stomach trouble or Constipation in existence, or money re'funded, and to start you off they agree to buy the first bottle for you. from your druggist and present it to you free of charge. All you have to do I? to write and ask j them for an order on your druggist 'for a j free bottle, giving your name, address and : particulars of your cae. I This looks to us like a pretty gonvl prop- ! csition. The fact that nil druggists handling Milks' EmuIMon are requested to guarantee every bottle they sell. Is a sure Indication of merit. Otherwise the Milks' Emulsion Comimny would soon go out of K business, and we notice they have come to J the front very fast since placing Milks' dnulslon on tho market one year ago.

HE New York Symphony Orchestra's exposition of Richard Wagner's last mudc drama, "Parsifal." will be given on next Thursday evening at Tomlinson Hall.

T Walter Damrosch, the conductor, has selected the essential parts of the score of the music-drama, and these will be reproduced, in concert form. Between the numbers, Mr. Damrosch will deliver connecting and explanatory remarks. There are eight soloists with the orchestra and besides these the male chorus of the Musikverein will assist, singing the "Processional" of the Knights of the Grail, from the ttrst act of 'Parsifal." The complete programme follows: Act I Prelude Orchestra Processional of the Knights of the Holy Grail and the Invisible Chorus Male Chorus of th4 Musikverein, Mmes. Harmon-Force, Cutter-Savage. Wheeler, Crawford. BloomfieM and Kennedy and Orchestra. Amfortas's Lament and the Divine Prophecy Mr. Archambault and Orchestra. Act II. Parsifal and the Flower Maidens in Kliiis;sor's Magic Garden Mmes. Cutter-Savage. Harmon-Force, Wheeler, Crawford. Bloomnld and Kennedy, Mr. Beddoe and Orchestra. Kundry's Song Mme. Harmon-Force and Orchestra. -Act III.Good Friday Spell... Arranged by WllhelmJ Mr. Mannes and Orchestra. Defiance of Amfortas Mr. Archambault and Orchestra. Tarslfal Becomes King of the Grail and Heals Amforta's Wound Finale Mr. Beddoe and Orchestra. The principal soprano of the company, Mme. Harmon-Force, has returned to this country after several years abroad. She is a pupil of Sbrlglia, of Paris, and Randegger and Georg Henschel, of London. After many successful European appearances, she is making her first American tour. Mme. Harmon-Force is, of course, a dramatic singer, for she has the part of Kundry. A colorature soprano, Mme. Ruby Cutter-Savage, sings the music of the First Flower Maiden, in the second act. Her repertoire embraces the best of the old Italian and French arias, and In the East she Is a prominent figure in the oratorios and cantatas of festival programmes. Francis Archambault, the baritone, is a Canadian, while the tenor, Daniel Beddoe. is Welsh. Mr. Mannes, who will play WilhelrnJ's arrangement of the Good Friday Spell for solo violin and orchestra, is concert master of the New York Symphony Orchestra, first violin of the Mannes Quartet, and an active and successful virtuoso. The company gives a performance at the French Opera House, New Orleans, this afternoon, and will play in several other Southern cities before arriving in Indianapolis on Thursday. On next Saturday and Sunday it will give concerts In the Auditoriuhi of Chicago and then it will turn east. The tour will end at Washington, on May 8, and the company will then have given a concert on every day since April 4. The success of the elaborate enterprise Is due to the widespread interest in "Parsifal," and the company's clear exposition of It. Mr. Damrosch is among the foremost Wagnerian conductors and is a believer in "opera in the vernacular," so the excerpts from "Parsifal" that are sung will be in English translation. The orchestra has its full quota of sixty players and in organization is the same as at its Sunday afternoon concerts at Carnegie Hall, New York, all last winter. . The subscribers to the concert will have first choice of seats. They will be served to-morrow, at the Starr piano store. The general sale. will begin at the same place on Tuesday morning and continue until the hour of the concert. The manager, Ona B. Talbot, has been notified that the smaller cities of the State will be well represented In the audience. Lout Mntinee Muslcale Concert.

Vladimir De Pachman. the great Russian pianist. Is Just announced for an American tour next season, which will commence earlv In October, continue until Anril or Mav. (.and comprise between eighty and one hun-

dred concerts. Mr. De Pachman has not been heard In this country since the season of for the ocean voyage is a very serious ordeal to him. But he has been touring Europe continuously and last year he gave many concerts in England. The success of his latest London recitals indicates that he has never been In finer form, and American audiences will know what that tneans. His tour on this side will open with orchestral appearances and recitals in all the large cities, which will keep him in the East and middle West unil Jan. 1, whan h will proceed to the Pacific coast. His manager sends word that the great pianist will give a concert in Indianapolis.

Musical otes. The leading soprano for' the May festival, at Cincinnati, to be held May 11, 12. 13 and 14, is Mi:ss Agnes Nlcholls, of London, who has never sung in the United States, and who will sing nowhere else this season except at Cincinnati. She has earned her position as the lirst oratorio soprano of England, particularly by her earnest work as a Bach and Beethoven singer. At the Cincinnati festivals she will be heard In the Bach B minor mass, on May 11, and In the Beethoven "Missa Solennls" and Ninth Symphony on May 14. At the afternoon concert. May 12, she will sing the aria by Weber. "Ocean. Thou Mighty Monster," and "Isolde's Death," from "Tristan and Isolde." 4 Henry W. Savage's English grand opera company will show a larger profit this year than ever before, and the Indications multiply that the organization is everywhere accepted as a fixed American institution. Next season two new and massive productions will be added to the present list and the company itself will be somewhat enlarged. It is Mr. Savage's policy to perpetually add to the strength of his grand opera forces, although he seems to have about reached the limit in this year's combination of singers. Wagner's full name was Wilhelm Richard Wagner, and he himself shortened it. Mr. Huneker tries to prove in his "Overtones," recently issued by the Scribners, that he has no right to his last name, being, in reality, of Jewish descent. Robert Grau announces that his experience of thirty years had led him to believe that he could afford to pay Patti $5,000 a concert on her American tour this season. He made a mistake, which, however, he says, cost him only $3.000. Next season he is going to reverse matters by bringing forward Miss Nina David, a singer totally unknown, but who, he avers. hrs a voice with the "greatest range in the world," and "who will bring forth many dear works of the old Italian and French schools that have had no exponent In their proper key for years. The debut Is to be at Carnegie Hall, New York, on Oct. 17. Ysaye returns to this country next season to play fifty concerts under the direction of his former manager, R. E. Johnston. His first appearance will be at Boston with the Symphony Orchestra, Dec. 2. The Metropolitan School of Music has outgrown its present quarters, occupied so long by this institution, and on the first of next month will remove to the building at the southeast corner of Illinois and North streets. The board of directors of this school is made up of the following members of the faculty: Oliver Willard Pierce and Mrs. Flora M. Hunter, of the piano department; Edward Nell, at the head of the vocal department; Leslie E. Peck, the new teacher of band instruments, and Hugh McGibeny, at the head of the viodn department. The Metropolitan School was established in lS.r6 and is the oldest school of music in the State. It has a faculty of twenty-one teachers, all branches of music being represented. The new quarters are Ideal and the school bids fair to continue Its old success. The annual public concert of the Muslkverein will take place at the German House on the evening of May 13. The Musikverein will be assisted in this entertainment by the Apollo Club of Muncie, which will augment the male chorus to 100 voices. The full orchestra of fifty-five instrumentalists will be heard and there will be two good soloists, who will bo announced later on. The Central College of Music announces that the next artists' recital, under the auspices of that Institution, will take place on the evening of May 11, instead of next Tuesday night, as had been originallv planned. The visiting artist will be Miss Anna Nichols, the celebrated violinist. 4 The beautiful Easter cantata, "The Risen King." by Schnecker, will be repeated at St. Paul's Episcopal Church this morning, under the direction of the organist and choirmaster. C. H. Carson. The vested choir of forty voices will be heard and the soloists will be Mrs. Josephine Bremmerman Edmunds, soprano; Paul Jeffries, tenor; Mrs. Aquilla Jones, contralto; Everson McHatton, baritone, and Miss Grace Cunningham, alto. The violin obligato to the principal soprano solo will be played by Miss Edith Stanton Brown. At the evening services a special programme will also be given. D. H. Baldwin & Co., the piano dealers. have arranged to give a piano recital next 'Friday evening in their new warerooms. which have recently undergone many Improvements. The recital will be in charge of Hugh McGibeny. the violinist, of this city; Miss Mary Conrey. a leading soprano of Cincinnati, and E. E. Roberts, a Cin cinnati pianist, ine programme win De a very attractive one. 4.4 A feature oft the special musical service at the Second Presbyterian Church this evening will be the singing of the aria. "With Verdure Clad." from Haydn's "Cre ation." by Mrs. Herbert Thorner, the gift cd soprano, who has recently come to In dlanapolis from New York. f 4 4 A piano recital will be given at the Propylaeum next Wednesday evenlug by Clarence Veeder Nixon, untier the auspices of the Metropolitan School of Music. Mr. Nixon's programme will be made up of compoi tions bv Chopin. Handel. Mozart. Mendels söhn. Von Weber, Liszt, Homer N. Bartlett and Henry Holden Huss. 4 4 4 A piano recital, under the auspices of the Sprankle Studio of Music, will be given at the German House next Friday even ing. Many of the' students of the school will participate in the Interesting programme that . has been prepared. Mrs Lei'ah Lovejoy Howard will be the special vocal soloist. Pretty Girl in a Crowded Street Car The crowded Indianapolis cars are responsible for a good many things first and last. They were responsible for the deep embarrassment of a very pretty girl the other night. Two young men had something to do with the embarrassment, too. but the crowded car was chiefly responsible. The pretty girl was sitting near the b3ck of the car. The aisle was already crowded and when the two young men entered it was even more crowded and there was no vacant strap to afford a brace for the newcomers. The car started with that disconcerting Jerk which is the preliminary to the movement of most cars, and, as a consequence, one of the young men sat down in the pretty girl's lap. The pretty girl flushed rosily and her eyelids fluttered In confusion. The passengers around smiled sympathetically srme of them enviously. The sympathy was for the pretty girl, the envy for the young man. The young man was as embarrassed as the pretty girl, evidently. So soon as he could pull himself together he removed himself from his unconventional attitude and fronted the pretty girl, lifting his hat with an abject gesture. "I beg your pardon," he said, in a tone of regret. The pretty, girl was still obviously embarrassed, but she wanted to soothe the young man; That is usually the way with a woman. "Oh. not at all." she said sweetly, but nervously. "I didn't mind It's all right." Then the second young man took the center of the stage. His tones were clear cut. "Well, all I've got to say, Tom, is that you were an idiot not to stay there she says it was all right." The pretty girl blushed helplessly, the first young man grew even more confused; but the rest of the unfeeling passengers laughed.

'( " - . v. J FRANCIS ARCHAMBAULT The Basso Soloist of the "Parsifal" Concert. liow Women Obtain Leap-Year Privileges New York Globe. It is to St. Bridget, of course, that the women owe their leap-year privileges. St. Bridget, so the story runs, asked St. Patrick for a year in which maids might, with perfect propriety, woo. St. Patrick first allowed his fair pleader one year in seven, but she finally succeeded in beating him down to one year in four. Whereupon St. Bridget, ungrateful creature that she was. immediately turned around and asked St. Patrick himself to marry her, and the good man could only make his escape by compromising on a kiss and a new silk gown. In which there is a suggestion for the .adies: Marry me. or. If not. a new' gown, Said the girl with a terrible frown. But the man. undismayed, Ciave his purse to the niall. And told her to hie to the town. The London Spectator thinks it is a queer reflection that, whereas it is the instinct of most men and women to laugh at the notion of women proposing, whenever the greater poets and prose writers have writ ten on the theme "Woman Proposes," they nave generally produced some of their best work. The most celebrated instance is, of course, the scene in "Twelfth Night." "I am not what I am." Viola pleads. "I would you were as I would have you be. she is answered; and a moment later Olivia has broken her reticence with a "cry of the heart:" A murderous guilt shows not Itself more soon Than love that would seem hid; love's night is noon. , Cesario, by the roses of the spring. ny maiaennood. honor, truth and everything. ijove inee so. mat. maugre all thy pride. .ur u nor reason can my passion niae. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause. ror that 1 woo. thou therefore hast no cause; Hut rather reason thus with reason fetter. Love sought Is good, but given unsought Is Detter. There Is also Mrs. Drownins's "Ladv Geraldine's Courtship," which title is suf ficiently explanatory; and in the Spectator's opinion, the strongest chapter in that old favorite, "John Halifax," is that in which Ursula March decides to tell John herself what he has chosen he will not tell her "It was but a low. faint crv. like that of a little bird. But he heard it, felt it" knew, in short, that Ursula March was asking him what St. Bridget asked of St. Patrick long ago. and without any kiss and silk gown alternative. And the most de lightful case of all although the Spectator does not mention It is "The Courtship of Miles Standlsh," ending with Pricilla's u hy don t you speak fur yourself. John?" But while we are on the subject of 'Woman Proposes." it is perhaps only fair to quote a few stanzas found in the Lon don Truth on "A Warning to Bachelors." inspired by the fact that the Mail has been daily devoting Its columns to the discussion of the question, "How should a girl propose In leap year? If you know maidens fair to see Heware! Hevrare! If bachelors you still would be Take care! Take care! For, as the Mall each morning shows. Spinsters, about with Man to close.

If you want to find out what cowards the majority of men are, all you have to do is rob a passenger train. I don't mean because they don't resist I'll tell you later on why they can't do that but it makes a man feel sorry for them the way they lose their heads. Big. burly drummers and farmers and ex-soldiers and high-collared dudes and sports that, a few moments be fore, were filling the car with noise and bragging, get so scared that their ears flop. I opened the door of the sleeper and stepped inside. A big, fat old man came wabbling up to" me, puffing and blowing. He had one coatsleeve on and was trying to put his vest on over that. I don't know who he thought I was. "Young man, young man," says he, "you must keep cool and not get excited. Above everything, keep cool." 'I can't," says I. "Excitement's just eating me up." And then I let out a yell and turned loose my forty-five through the skylight. That old man tried to dive into one of the lower berths, but a screech came out of it, and a bare foot that took him in the breadbasket and landed him on the floor. I saw Jim coming in the other door. and I hollered for everybody to climb out and line up. They commenced to scramble down, and for awhile we had a three-ringed circus". The men looked as frightened and tame as a lot of rabbits In a deep snow. They had on, on an average, about a quarter of a suit of clothes and one shoe apiece. One chap was &ltting on the floor of the aisle, lookinc: as If he were working a hard sum in arithmetic. He was trying, very solemn. to pull a lady's No. 2 shoe on his No. 9 foot. The ladies didn't stop to dress. They were so curious to see a real. live train robber, bless 'em, that they just wrapped blankets and sheets around themselves and came out. squeaky and fidgety looking. They always snow more curiosity ana sand than the men do. C. W. Kriel, st le distributer for Wilkle Collins, 10 cent cigr, Tom Benton, 5 cent cigar.
