Then There Was Casey Kelly the Shoemaker, Rosey the Lawyer and at Least Half of the Eldridge 8treet Colony. The red gas meter in the dwelling Place of the Astrofsky family at No. 15 Buffolk street clicked as usual to-day, but no one worried about it. A few kind-hearted people, who read how trip- lets had been born in a barren east- Hide tenement, where there was never a @ollar to provide nourishment, proved that New York 1s not yet sold to the god of mammon. They sent what they could afford, and blessings be upon them, say the tenement lodgers of Suf- | folk street. : Great Interest in Event.

Full justice was done that sprightly musical antiquity, “The Marriage of igaro," in {ts production at the Met- ropolltan Opera-House last evening.. No apologies are made to Mozart worshippers for calling his operatic efforts antiquated. The characteristic makes them lovable. They are the anti- dote for the ultra-modern in music. From the mental stress begotten of modern orchestral device we turn to them to drink with pleasure unalloyed at the font of pure melody.

It would suffer in crude hands, but deft and dainty was the manner of its presenta- tion last evening so that every gem shone with its proper lustre. Mme. Sembrich's Susanna is one of her happiest characterizations. It em- ploys her splendid knack of vivacity and reveals her flawless vocal methods, Her tone production, always delightful, unimportant.’ Mozart wrote only for the principals and his melodies were never better sung. The popularity of the work is due to them. It is worth repeating not once but man; cause of their successful efforts.
