Notable Clergy and Society News From The Era
The piece notes Judge William P. Ballinger of Texas as a brother-in-law to U S Supreme Court Justice Miller. It covers Abiel Leonard's consecration as bishop of Utah and Nevada and his upcoming move to Salt Lake City. It mentions Chauncey M Depew’s public dining show, Henry L Southwick’s new post in Philadelphia with a $2800 salary, and Bishop Williams of Connecticut as a diligent worker and educator. Kate Willard visits the White House, with operatic ambitions and mezzo soprano talent. Howard Gould’s typhoid illness delays the Atalanta’s voyage, with plans likely to head west once he recovers. Dwight Moody, exhausted from day’s work, is awakened by a noisy hotel parlor German and calmly asks the dancers to stop, then sleeps.

Wagner Opera Meets Luxury Cost in New York Met
In New York the Metropolitan Opera faces higher assessments as German Wagner opera is sustained as a luxury for the very rich.

Wagner’s tetralogy, Die Walküre and Siegfried praised for singing, acting, and stage craft, while Die Gotterdaemmerung draws acclaim for dramatic power and beauty.
