It was a gratifying entertainment throughout. even though it unfolded nothing strikingly remarkable. The San Carlo Grand Opera Company was a genuine de- light, and music lovers of the National Capital owe a large debt of grati- tude to Fortune Gailo. who. against tremendous odds, has fought for grand opera for the people at large, rather than ior the fortunate few, and who, today, is re ng the ?l,mr!v'h of the critics and public ever where for his wo ! accomplishments. § Mr. W ington must needs go to New York or to Baltimere o indulge its craving in the operatic line.

This is due to the fact, it is said, that the newspaper notices recorded his passing as that of William H.

I always emphasize it. She cares not a rap about a mere man. He is not a necessity by any means.
