How Campanini Got a Raise #

Musical Critics All Pronounced Reveil), His Rival Imported by Ma* pleson, to Be a Very Satisfactory “Second” Tenor. In the heyday of the period back tn the late seventies and early eighties when Italo Campaninl, who at 14 became one of Garibaldi’s fampus one thousand, was being heralded as the greatest living tenor and had the music lovers of two at his feet, he went to his English and American manager, the late Col. J. H. Mapleson, and demanded a Urge increase in salary. The impresario listened to his great star’s .demand with outward equanimity; he realized that Campanini’s voice had done much to make his opera seasons at Covent Garden and in America successful, but he did not propose to grant the Italian the increase in salary demanded If he could help it. So, while promising to give the matter serious consideration, he set abut planning in his own way to circumvent “Camp,” as he was called by his friends. In time reports began to reach this country from Europe that Col. Mapleson had engaged the “great tenor Ravelli, who had gained a wonderful reputation abroad with his voice.” Then other reports began tol appear that the American public would find In Ravelli another voice as glorious as Campanini’s even. These reports were judic’ously and widely circulated, so that those who were on the [ outside eagerly awated the great Ravelli’s arrival. But Campanini’s friends were quick to guess the truth—Coll Maple- ■ son was plannng to use Jlavelli in suih away as to play him off against Campanini, so that he could shrug his shoulders and say, “Oh, well, I have Ravelli,” when Campaninl inevitably . threatened to stop singing unless that extra five hundred dollars a nipjht„was forthcoming. A prince of good fellow^ —[in fact, the most popular operatic tenor that has ever vlsltetd the United Staes — Campanini had many warm friends here, and once they were “on to” Col. Mapleson s little scheme they determined to do all they could to see to it that Ravelli was not allowed thus unjustly to supplant his fellow countryman; that, Campanini should stand unapproached as the greatest tenor singer of his time until a really better fefhor than he arose.

Logan Feared Vice Presidency

Famous Cavalry Leader Was Reluctant to Accept the Nomination in 1884 Because of the State of His Health. No man ever accepted a nomination for vice-president of the United States more reluctantly than did General John A. Logan in 1884. He was even more greatly distressed that political exigencies and the imperious command of his party compelled his acceptance of the nomination than was Theodore Roosevelt in a similar L position. Roosevelt at last decided to K accept the nomination before it was made/ but Logan pleaded with his friends at Chicago until he was actually nominated to make some other choice for the honor. A day or two before the convention’s | notification committee, headed by ex-genator John B. Henderson, called on General Logan; in his modest home’in Washington, formally to apprise him of his selection as the running mate of Blaine, I was received by the General in his home. I asked him what he intended saying to the committed. “I shall not say anything much,” he said, “just a few words. It is a perfunctory performance. I haven’t much heart'for it.” And then, briefly, he added that one of the reasons he was unwilling to enter the presidential campaign actively as a candidate was the state of his health. “I have never fully recovered from the serious rheumatic trouble that affected me four years ) ago at the time I made my speech in the Senate in opposition to the restoring of General Fitz-John Porter to the retired list of the army,” he explained. “I made, a part of that speech while suffering intense pain.” “YeS. General,” I replied, “that was apparent to all of us who heard you, and it was the common remark at the time that nothihg but your inflexible will earned you through that long speech?’ When the committee did call upon Genera)! Logan, I was present, at his special Invitation, to witness the brief ceremony—he had said when extending the invitation; “It won’t be much of a scene.” It was clearly apparent that the General was not in the best of health. His complexion, always swart ay when he was in health, had a sort of pasty hue; the contrast between it and the drooping black mustache and coal-black hair was Impressively striking. As he rose to receive the committee he leaped heavily upon a chair. He listened to the remarks of the chairman aS though he was either indifferent or In a sort of a dream. And when, after a few perfunctory and formal re-

On the night that Ravelli made his debut in the Academy of Music in New York, General Howard Carroll, so intimate a friend of Campanini’s that he had visited the latter at bls home in Parma, strolled into the press room of the Academy, where the musical critics —all friends of the Garibaldian patriot—had met to talk over informally Ravelli’s debut. He wanted to be fair to Ravelli, who was, in fact, a great singer, but they felt themselves In honor bound to protect Campaninl, beyond peradventure of a doubt a still greater singer, against the little trick of his manager. “I am sure I do not know how to write my criticism of Ravelli’s performance except to say that Ravelli is great, but Campaninl is greater,” confessed one of the critics, famous in his day. Still another said: “Ravelli is a magnificent singer, but Mapleson is not acting fairly toward Campanini in using Ravelli to Camp’s disparagement, who Is much the greater singer of the two.” And so the comment went on for some time, all clearly agreeing that Campanini’s voice was by far the better voice. At last it became apparent to General Carroll, who had been listening to .the informal change of views, that the* criticisms the following morning would practically all declare that

Hero of the Federal 1 reasury

L. C. Chittenden Disabled by Signing $5,000,000 in Bonds in 48 Hours to Prevent Sailing of Confederate Privateers. Thomas C. Acton, who died in 1898 after reaching the age of seventy-five years, gained a great national reputation at the time of the draft riots in New York city, in 1863, by the energy with which he met that critical situation as president of the police board of the metropolis. After -his retirement as a police commissioner, in 1869, he became assistant treasurer of the United States in charge of the isubtreasury in New York city. Meeting him upon the street one day, I noticed that his right hand was bandaged, and asked him if be had met with an accident s “Not exactly an accident," was the

The ceremony over in a few minutes, the committee withdrew, and I was left alone with the candidate. I asked him if he were going to write a formal letter of acceptance. “Os course,” he replied slowly, and then, after a moment, he added, still speaking with solemn slowness: si lt is a great honor to be called by the people of this great republic to serve as their vice-president. It is a great honor to be nominated for that office by a great party. But I have my misgivings. 1 wish I felt in better physical health. Some have thought that I am indifferent to the honor. But that is riot so. I am not a well man. I wish my pary had chosen some one of our leaders who is in perfect health.”) Two years later John A. Logan lay dead; and I have always believed that his. primary reason for not wanting to be nominated for the vice-presidency with Blaine w’as that he knew even then that he was in the first stages of the organic disease which finally brought him to his death bed, and that he had a premonition that if he were elected to the office he would not live to serve his term.

The fossil beds of the west that have furnished such ’wonderful specimens of gigantic animals of former ages, such as, for Instance, the dlplodocus, replicas of which have recently been placed on exhibition in several of the great European museums, sometimes yield fossils, which, if not so large as the great saurian mentioned above, are nevertheless of paramount interest to men of science. During the summer of 1909 the remains of several fossil turtles were collected by members of the United States geological survey, and from a study of these Prof. O. P. Hay has been able tri describe eight new species of fossil turtles from west of the one-hundredth meridian. Take Your Choice.

Ravelli was great, but Campaninl i greater, so he volunteered a bit of advice. “The better plan, gentlemen,” he i said, “is not to mention Campanini’s i name at all. He didn’t sing in this opera. If you make comparisons, the I public will take them up. I would i suggest thaat we agree upon this ( point,: That Ravelli is a very great . second tenor. We will congratulate . Col. Mapleson on having secured so • perfect an artist, so as to make his performance the nights ‘Camp’ does not sing satisfactory. We will speak of Ravelli as the most perfectly equipped second tenor who has ever come to the United States.” ■ The idea took instantly—it was in fact a fair statement of the situation —and the next day the notices of Ravelli’s debut spoke in high praise of him as a very great second tenor, the word “second” being emphasized in practically every case. The public, after listening to Ravelli for several performances, concurred In the view of the critics: Campaninl remained unsurpassed; there were tears in his eyes when he embraced General Carroll for his timely act of friendship; and, soon after there was great joy in his heart when Col. Mapleson recognized the inevitable, paid Campanini the Increased salary which he demanded and was well worth to that remarkable impresario. (Copyright, 1510, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.)

reply. “And I am much better off than Chittenden was after he had dor ' what I did the other day, but to a much greater extent. “L. C. Chittenden; you know, was registrar of the treasury department at Washington during the administration of President Lincoln, and a very capable officer he was. We were personally on terms of friendship, and, meeting him one day in the streets of Washington—l should say it was in the last months of President Lincoln’s , life —I noticed that his right hand ■ and arm below the elbow were powerI less. I wondered whether he was in ; the Initial stages of the shaking palsy, i and knowing him well enough to do I so, asked him if that were the case. Shaking his head slowly and smiling slightly, he told me the following story—and ever since the day I heard it I have held that Mr. Chittenden was as much a hero for his country’s sake as any man who went before the cani non’s mouth in the Civil war. “ ‘You know,’ began Mr. Chittenden to me, as we stood on the edge of the Washington sidewalk, ‘when Charles Francis Adams, our minister to Great*! dßritain, protested against the British government permitting those English built Confederate privateers to sail from the ports of their construction, he was told that the ships would be kept from weighing anchor provided he deposited with the British government within 24 hours $5,000,000 in gold, so that Great Britain might be protected In case any damage suits were brought against her for holding back the privateers. Mr. Adams, as you probably know, had no idea where he could gU the necessary gold, but that afteruoc-n it was unexpectedly offered to him by a man whose name has been kept a secret to this day, that being the sole string of the loan. To this good friend of America in need Mr. Ada/ns offered as security United j States government bonds, telling him, however, that he would be obliged to wait so. the bonds until word of his deed cojld be sent by mall to Washington—there was no cable working then—and the bonds sent over. “ ‘Well, by the next steamer President Lincoln and Secretary of State Seward received Mr. Adams’ commo- . nlcatlon, and It at once became nec- [ essary to send five millions In govern- i ment bonds to Mr. Adams by the first j steamer to Europe, if possible. It ;• would sail in just 48 hours. We had ; the bonds, but they were unsigned. ““•Mr. Chittenden,” Mr. Seward asked me, “do you think you can sign five millions of bonds in less than 48 hours?” I said I would do my best, and a little while thereafter the bonds were brought to me and I began to affix my signature to them, one after another. “ ‘From that time on until the last bond was signed, just in time to catch the steamer, I did not leave my office except momentarily. I atedn the office. For hours I could scarcely see the bonds as they lay before me and appended my signature by instinct, as a blind man would. The task Involved the greatest exercise of will power I was ever called upon to exert. My head almost swam with bonds the last hours of the 48, and the last of the signatures must have had only a fancied resemblance to my regular one. But I did the work in time, and the bonds were sent by special messenger to Mr. Adams, who, in turn, i delivered them promptly to the good friend of the Union who had advanced the five millions in gold. And this’—Mr. Chittenden glanced half smilingly and half ruefully at his powerless right hand and arm—‘thia is my scar and wound, a permanent injury, received while doing my duty as a government officer.’ ” (Copyright, 1914. by E.

NATURE AS A PROPHET OF EUROPEAN WAR ' JK' ? 4 ■ >. ■ ** LUCERNE, Switzerland.—The local peasantry are much exercised over what they .regard as a certain sign that a great war is soon to break out in Europe. For the first time since just before the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 the Lake of Blood has assumed the deep red color which, according to popular superstition, presages a sanguinary conflict. This phenomenon is observed only at long intervals and is due, the scientists say, to a small Alpine plant of r* hue growing all over thj bed of the lake. The Lake of Blood is not far from this city and is attracting hundreds of tourists.

STRAIN OF AVIATION

Too Much for Many Airmen Who Have Become Famous. Many Aviators Give Way to Younger Pilots, as Wear of Fearing High Tumbles Is Too Great to Be Withstood, Rome.—M. Emile Dubonnet, the French airman, is about to give up dying. His retirement supports the contention of more than one medical authority that the nerve strain of frequent flying is so great that it forces a man to abandon active airmanship in an extraordinarily short space of time. Many airmen admit that this is so. and there is remarkable proof of it in the fact that, although airmanship is in its infancy, the earlier pioneers are already vanishing and new champions take their place. The following pioneers have already retired from active flying in public: M. Paulhan—lntends to devote himself almost entirely to constructional work. M. Bleriot—Has given up all except experimental flying with new machines of his own invention. Farnian—Has abandoned flyfor trials with newly designed machines. Wright Brothers—Fly very rarely, being concerned with constructional work. M. Roller —Retired after a bad fall tn the at Nice.

“LINE’S BUSY” CAUSES STIR Bridge Whist Player Pummels **Central” for Neglect of Duty—- " Got Hers” Also. Pittsburg.—Licensed over the continual repetition of the phrase “Line's busy” while she and her guests were j delayed at bridge whist because of an absent friend, Miss Hazel Gillen, daughter of John Gillen, prominent horseman and ice manufacturer of Fayette City, Pa., left her home and her guests to investigate the local Bell telephone exchange and the reason why she could not get telephone connections with a young worn- ; an she wanted to “fill in.” Trouble was found and plenty of it - when Miss Gillen reached the head of | the first flight of stairs at the ex- ! change. A whirlwind in the form of the much abused “Central,” Miss Lillian Usher, enveloped her and a second later both young woinen were rolling down the stairs and on to the sidewalk in each other’s arms. With their skirts wrapped about their shoulders the young worsen took a “death grip” on the sidewalk when they stopped rolling, and to the amusement of a number of men and boys proceded to pull hair and attempt to choke each other, until one man stepped forward, righted their skirts and i separated the fighters. Hair “rats." ; side combs and barrettes and one Switch, the ownership of which neither of the young women will acknowledge, littered the sidewalk. In the meantime the father of Miss Gillen was entertaining the, guests at the Gillen home, but witiin a few minutes the bridge party was broken up, when the hostess, with her hair hanging down her bacK, a deep scratch on one cheek, at black and blue eye and her evening costume in tatters, was assisted to the porch and into the hall, where a maid and her father took charge and carried the young woman to her room. She has not left the house since. Miss Usher was asked to resign. She escaped with only a few bruises and one slight scratch. The technical charge made against Miss Usher by the telephone company is leaving her switchboard ' while on duty.

M. Fournier—Ceased to fly after a number of falls. M. Duray—Forced to give up flytog after being badly injured by a blow from his propeller. Mr. Moore-Brabazon —Has relinquished flying at meetings. Mr. Cockburn—Will do no more ex hibition flying. Mr. Gibbs —Compelled to retire temporarily as the result of a heavy fall at Wolverhampton. Captain Dickson —Does not expect to fly at meetings after this season. Glen H. Curtiss —Has very largely relinquished flying in favor of construction. M. Sommers —Has become a constructor and rarely flies. Mr. Rawlinson —Obliged to discontinue flying after his accident at Bournemouth. Mortimer Singer—After a fall at Heliopolis last season, has not flown again. Mr. Grahame-White thus describes the nervous strain of flying: “It is the tension of fearing that something unexpected may happen —that the engine may fail, that a stay may break, that a controlling wire may snap. Any one of these things may, one knows quite well, bring about a fearful fall. The rush of air and the fact that one is high above the ground, has very little to do with the ordeal.” “Experience already proves,” was the comment of an international authority, “that flying will become far more easy; aeroplanes are on the eve of enormous development so far as reliability is concerned.”

CANCER CURED BY VACCINE

Dr. P. K. Gilman, Professor of Surgery, Makes a Remarkable Discovery in Philippines. San Francisco. —Cancer, the disease which has baffled medical science for over a hundred years, may be conquered at last. Dr. P. K. Gilman of Oakland, professor of surgery in the Philippine medical schools and surgeon in chief of the Philippine general hospital at Manila, believes he has discovered a vaccine which will stop the ravages of the dreaded disease. With this vaccine Dr. Gilman has cured 20 cases of cancer in Manila. In his laboratories there he has been working for three years on his discovery, and is pow ready to give to the world the fruit of his labor. He has prepared an article for publication in I the Journal of Science, a medical and scientific review published by the Bureau of Science of the United States, in which the d.etails of the cure will be made public for the first time. Dr. Gilman has been asked to demonstrate his discovery before the Royal California Institute at Havana. He hns been in communication with Dr. Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute in New York city, which was established for the study and cure of cancer, and Dr. 1 Flexner is greatly interested in the ' discovery. He has written Dr. Gilman for details. Dr. Gilman says that his vaccine is a homogeneous suspension of dead bacteria in physicologic salt solution, mixed with a preservative. It is taken from the tumor itself. In perfecting this vaccine Dr. Gilman 1 was assisted by Dr. A. F. Coca, pathologist in the Bureau of Science at Manila. If it proves to have the curative properties claimed for it, it will create a sensation in the medical world. Vaccine has never been resorted to before, surgery and electricity being the only known methods of curing the disease, these having been usea with only small success. Dr. Gilman was bom in Oakland and was graduated from the Oakland public schools. He received a degree from Leland Stanford University in 1901 and finished a three-year course at Johns Hopkins in 1905. He returned to his home in Oakland on the

HENS ATE DEADLY DYNAMITE Now Their Owner Does Not Dare Go Near Them and Is Afraid to Eat Their Eggs. Winsted, Conn. —A man who has a small farm a few miles from this town does not dare to trample on a small portion of it, and is afraid to eat his own hens’ eggs. Heavy fowls he had been fattening for Thanksgiving are immune from death for the present, so far as his killing them is concerned. Dynamite is the cause of his trouble. He opened two one-pound sticks of the explosive, into which a little frost had found its way, and after breaking the cylinders into pieces spread them on a flat stone in the sun to dry. ' He meant to use the dynamite in a lot he is clearing. When he went to get the explosive after he had drilled holes in a big boulder, he saw a flock of his hens scratching in the dynamite, and eating it as they would eat small gravel. That’s why the farmer does not dare to eat his own hens’ eggs, for he fears particles of dynamite may lurk in the shells. “Who knows where that dynamite they ate is now?” he said, sadly. "Suppose it’s got into the shells? Think I’d run the risk of cracking one of those egg-shells? Yet how are you going to eat eggs without breaking the shells?" And there’s the story in an eggshell. The puzzled farmer cannot tell by the looks of his hens which ate the dynamite; therefore he doesn’t dare to eat any of them at Thanksgiving. As for swinging heavily on their heads with an axe he shudders at the thought.

Indignantly. "Venus is the name of a pagan goddess.’ “ ‘Well, how about your own girl. Diana?’ said the man.” The Place of Honor. Farmer Hodge was of the good, o)<L fashioned school, and he always gave a feast to his hands at harvest time. It was harvest time and the feast was about to commence.

Finally my physician told nA about a year ago, that I must stop drinking coffee or I could never expect to be well again. “I was in despair, for the very thought of the medicines I had tried so many times nauseated me. 1 thought of Postum but could hardly bring myself to give up the coffee. “Finally I concluded that I owed It to myself to give Postum a trial.
