A VOLUME OF ESSAYS.
M
* EANS" is the title of a volume of es-
says by Ernst Wagner which has just
made its appearance. The subjects in detail
are:
"Means in General," "Flowers,"
"Light," "Physical Beauty," "Age," "Mu-
sic," "Ideals." Each and all of them abound
with spiritual and intellectual suggestion and
are fraught with thoughts of an uplifting
tendency interesting and strengthening to
those who endeavor to catch the soul of the
writer. His essay on "Music" is delightful
in spirit. He pays just tribute to the influ-
ence of music as a factor in life's better-
ment. To quote any part would be an in-
justice to the writer, so perfect is the struct-
OPERA PLANS.
D EFORE sailing away for his summer
vacation in Europe—his first vacation
in many years—Mr. Maurice Grau gave out
some information about next winter's sea-
son of opera. This information was posi-
tive as regards the dates and the duration
of the season, but rather vague so far as the
constitution of the company is concerned.
The entire season is to consist of twenty-
six weeks, divided into three periods. The
first, covering eleven weeks, will begin at
Montreal, Canada, Oct. 7th, and will take
the company across the continent to San
Francisco. The second, also of eleven
weeks, will be the New York season at
the Metropolitan Opera House, commencing
on Dec. 23d. The third, of four weeks'
duration, will take in Boston, Chicago, and
two other cities.
The company—in all probability—will be
made up about as follows: Sopranos:
Mmes. Calve, Eames, Gadski, Sembrich,
either Ternina or Nordica, Susan Strong
and Fritzi Scheff; contraltos: Schumann-
Heink, Olitzka and Carrie Bridewell; tenors:
Van Dyck, Tamagno, Dippel, Salignac and
Saleza; baritones: Scotti, Campanari, Bisp-
ham, Gilbert and a Wagnerian singer—
Van Rooy in all likelihood; bassos: Plangon,
Edouard de Reszke, Blass and Journet.
Operas that may be expected in addition
to those that are fixtures in the repertoire
include Verdi's "Otello," Rossini's "W T illiam
Tell," Mozart's "Magic Flute," Meyerbeer's
"Prophet," some works in which Calve has
not appeared here heretofore, and one or
two of the older Italian school, with Sem-
brich as the prima donna.

ure. We cannot refrain, however, from one
word picture:
"Listen to the music falling from the keys
of an organ, played by a spiritually-minded
master; gossamer-like light steals through
the deeply stained windows; perfume of the
lily fills the air; the congregation sits in ec-
stacy. The cathedral is buried in the shade
of oaks, but still they have a clearer vision of
heaven than if they were in the presence of
the full orbed splendor of the sun."
This little volume, very neatly produced
by the publishers, the F. Tennyson Neely Co.,
is overflowing with such delightful metaphor,
and as J. B. Basland, one of our leading edu-
cational authorities says: "It causes the read-
er to wonder whether Emerson has found a
worthy disciple in this Western writer."
Mr. Wagner is a native of Delaware, O.,
and graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan Uni-
versity in 1899, receiving very high honors.
As his writings demonstrate, he is a lover of
books, art and nature. The volume under
discussion, which was written shortly after
his graduation, should meet with a large
measure of appreciation and praise.
I O11N LUND, conductor of the Pan-Am-
^
erican Orchestra, is a well-known musi-
cian, who came to New York from Germany
fifteen years ago to assist at the Metropolitan
Opera House, and went to Buffalo in 1887,
to conduct the Orpheus Club of that city.
Mr. Lund for a time kept alive a series of
symphony concerts in Buffalo, but interest
finally died out. The Pan-American Or-
chestra comprises fifty players, recruited
partly from local musicians and partly, it is
reported from the New York Philharmonic
and Boston Symphony orchestras. The con-
cert-master is Eugene Boeger, who was at
one time first violin under Theodore Thomas.
The concert programmes will make a feature
of music by American composers.
