First Time She Really Sang
_ $ Parepa-Rosa in Gilmore’s Peace Jubilee Was Heard Above the Cannon, Organ, and Great Orchestra Chorus of Ten Thousand. Recently 1 told in the words of the late Patrick Sarsfleld Gilmore, the greatest bandmaster this country has ever produced, the story of the roxiantic ' courtship of a great prima donna of the sixties and the enties. Parepa-Rcsa, and Carl Rosa, who, at height of Parepa’s fame as a grand opera singer, was looked »pon as one of Europe’s great violinists. Today 1 tell in Mr. Gilmores own words the story of the manner In which he secured Parepa-Rosa as the soloist for his National Peace Jubilee of 1869, which was held in Boston, and which was one of the great musical festivals that won for Gilmore international fame as a bandmaster. "I began to lay plans for the peace jubilee a year or two after the close of the Civil war," said Mr. Gilmore, whose band, during the war. was the most famous of all the musical organizations on the Union side. “At first 1 had just a vague idea of a celebration in song and music of the restoration of peace in the United States. But the more I though of the idea, the more it expanded, and at last —having tn the meantime received every encouragement from my Boston friends md obtained financial guarantees against loss from some of the merchants of that city—l decided to get together an orchestra of one thousand pieces and a chorus of ten thousand voices. I soon found that all of the musical societies of the United States, at least of the larger cities, were only too glad to co-operate with me. Then, to give the jubilee a decided novelty, I worked out a plan for using artillery as a part of the orchestral accompaniment, the cannon to be placed outside of the Coliseum and to be discharged by electricity exactly as the organist would touch a particular note jpon the organ’s keyboard when he wanted a special effect. “Well, do you know that all the while I was planning for these large effects it never occurred to me that I had forgotten that I ought to have a soloist who had a voice powerful enough to be heard above the salvos □f the cannon, the organ, the great orchestra and the great chorus. When f did think of it my plans were far advanced and I was in grave anxiety least I should be unable to secure a soloist. But one evening, as I sat
Confusion of Names and Fame
When E. P. Rce Produced “Barriers Burned Away,” the Admirers of A. 3. Roe Rejoiced That He Had Resumed Writing. The name of E. P. Roe and many of the novels that bear it are still remembered by the world at large; but how many readers of today axe there irho would have their memories stirred by the mention of the name of 1. S. Roe? Yet, in his day, A. S. Roe was as popular a writer of fiction as EL P. Roe was in his, and thereby hangs a tale of confusion of names ind reputation and coincidences. A. S. Roe and E. P. Roe each be; .•ame a writer of fiction by chance, as it were. Until E. P. Roe wrote for a friend, the editor of a religious paper, the serial Jailed “Barriers Burned Away,” he had not the slightest Idea ;hat he had any gift for fiction writing. A. S. Roe started out In lite a marchant; he lost his fortune, gained In trade, through his too great generosity in endorsing the notes of his friends. Having nothing else to do he thought he would write a story. His first novel, published in the early fifties, bore the title, “I’ve Been Thinktag," and it had an enormous circulation, at least for that time, it was. properly speaking, in modern book terms, a “best seller.” Year after year, following this first pronounced success, A. S. Roe published novels, and each was widely read; It was a, “best seller." He stopped writing about the year 1869. and great was the regret among his following. But some three years later many of the novelist’s admirers could be heard saying delightedly that he had taken up writing novels again, and then they would tell how much they enjoyed reading his latest book. “Barriers Burned Away.”. They were, indeed, so glad that A. S. Roe resumed writing fiction, and they hoped he would keep on; and it was freely told about by A. S. Roe enthusiasts how their favorite author had been inspired to i eturn to the field of fiction with his oew novel' by something he had seen while on a visit to Chicago shortly after the great fire of 1871. Indeed, even after E. P. Roe—who. following his unexpected success, produced successful novels regularly year after year, as A S. Roe had done before him —had written several Immensely popular books, the confusion of names and reputations still persisted. But there were other coincidences in the careers of these two men besides
K- *“ listening to Parepa-Rosa singing an aria from Meyerbeer’s opera of ‘Robert the DevilX the thought suddenly came to me: '‘TMere’s your soloist. That woman haVa voice that would soar above any combination of voices and instruments, no matter how many.* “So I sought out Parepa-Rosa and told her what my plans were—that they called for a great dramatic soprano whose voice would soar above a chorus of ten thousand and an orchestra of one thousand. She replied that she had never yet had an opportunity to let her voice out to its full capacity, that she believed a chorus of even ten thousand voices could not drown her own. “ ‘But,’ said I. ‘I am to have twentycannon placed and discharged by electricity as an accompaniment to the orchestra.’ “ ’Oh,’ she said, delighted, ‘that would be like singing on a battlefield.’ And she added: ‘Mr. Gilmore, I will siflg for you as your soloist if you will promise me one thing—your musicians must discharge the cannon on the beat of time. If they do that I will make my voice heard above the cannon. But if they come in out of time then all is ruined.’ “1 was bold enough to make the promise, and at the first day’s performance I escorted Parepa to the center of the stage. There were thirty
Echo of Old Naval Sensation —
“Retribution” That Overcame Alex<jer Mackenzie for Hanging Three Mutinous Apprentices, One of the Secretary of War’s Son. Some ten or twelve years ago I was the guest at the country home near Tarrytown, N. Y., of the late C. C. Clarke, then vice-president of the New York Central railway system and for many years the right hand of Commodore Vanderbilt and his son. William H., in the financial administration of that system. Mr. Clarke was anxious to show me some of the historic spots in Tarrytown and in its vicinity and, especially Sleepy Hollow, still redolent with the traditions of Washington Irving, and also td point out to me the spot where the three pickets of the Revolutionary army had captured Major Andre. As we were riding along the highway not far from the point upon
those of name and rapidity of production. A. S'. Roe cultivated a little farm in Connecticut not far from Hartford, the state capital, and he turned to it for recreation between novels. E. P. Roe, after his first novel had revealed his real genius, took up fruit culture on a small farm at Cornell, N. Y„ near West Point, he having been the pastor of a Presbyterian church not far from the Point when he took up experimental novel writing. Moreover, the novels of A. S. Roe were almost as popular in England as they were in this country. So, too, when E. P. Roe began to write, his novels speedily gained a great hold on the British reading public. And for many years the prevailing impression in many an Englishman's mind was that the novels of A. S. Roe and those by E. P. Roe were the work of one and the same man. (Copyright, 1911, by E. J.

Soon after the president’s order was issued to the effect that no information was to be given a congressman by any employe of the government, and only heads of the departments could furnish information. Dr. Wiley met a member of congress. “Good morning, doctor; how are you this morning?” was the greeting. “I can’t tell you,” promptly responded the doctor; “you’ll have to ask the secretary.” One of the best examples of his quickness of repartee is the exclusive property of the women of the bureau of chemistry. They all call him “the Big Chief." Once a petite young woman of the bureau met the doctor as he was passing along the corridor to his office. “Good morning. Big Chief,” she said. “Good morning. Little Mis-Chief," retorted the doctor. Further Statistics of Interest. With strawberry shortcake and chicken pie as their favorite dishes, American husbands are making a bid for fame.

thousand people .there. She stood before them smiling, awaiting the introduction by the orchestra and then • the chorus. At the exact moment she began. Her voice was like a melody , from the heavens. Her song rose: pure, clear and exquisite above all that vast combination of sounds. Nc i other thing did the vast audience pay , heed to —it was the song of that woman, triumphant over that vast combination of instruments and voices and cannon, that taught them what | the human voice Is capable of. And when it was all over and Parepa had retired to tumultuous applause she told me that for the first time in het entire life had she ever really sung." (Copyright, 1911. by E. J. Edwards.

the side of it where the monument , erected and commemorated to the I capture of Andre stands, Mr. Clarke I suddenly told the driver to rein in the horses to a walk. “It was about there," he said, pointing, “that Alexander Slidell was killed. I presume, however, that you do not know him by that name, yet he was a brother of John Slidell, who was a member of the United States senate, representing Louisiana, and who was one of the two commissioners of the Confederate government who were taken from the British mail steamer Trent by Captain Wilkes at the beginning of the Civil war, an action which almost brought about war between England and the United States. “Alexander Slidell, better known as Alexander Mackenzie, was the cause of one of the most sensational incidents in the history of the United States,” Mr. Clarke continued. “The name of Mackenzie he legally assumed. It was his mother’s maiden name, and it Is my recollection that he assumed it at the request of one of her near relatives, an uncle. It may be that a promise of inheritance caused him to make this change in surnames. At any rate, he was an officer in the United States navy, and in 1842 was in command of the brig-of-war Somers. “Upon that brig were a large number of apprentices; they practically constituted the crew. One of them was a son of John C. Spencer, who was at that time secretary of war in the cabinet of President Tyler. “When the Somers was in midocean, returning from the African coast. Commander Mackenzie heard that a mutiny was brewing. He instantly investigated and had three of the apprentices arrested as ring leaders of the alleged conspiracy and court-mar-tialed on the deck. They were found guilty and were hanged from the yardarm. One of them was the son of the secretary of war. “I remember wall what a tremendous sensation the news of the execution created; I was then 20 years of age. Mackenzie was himself court-martial-ed, but it was found that he had acted strictly in accordance with the rules, and he therefore could not be convicted. But if he was acquitted ty court-martial, he must have suffered agonies, in view of the fact that the American people almost to a man turned their faces agfiinst him. He was told publicly and privately that there would be awful retribution fir him. “About four years later, during tile Mexican war—in which Mackenzie took part on land, by the way—came the report that the brig Somers had sunk in midocean with the loss of a large part of its crew, and in public and private it was said that retribution for the hanging of a mere boy was begun. Two years elapsed and then one day—about six years after ; the hanging of young Spencer—Mac, kenzie, who had retired to Tarrytown was out riding horseback along this road; that was his only recreation. Suddenly the horse shied—no one I could tell at what—and threw Mac- . kenzie over his head. They lifted I him from the ground a few moments ■ later; his neck was broken. And once • again it was said by the superstitious: » ‘Retribution for the hanging of young ’ Spencer—the final retribution.”* ■ (Copyright. 1911. by E. J. Edwards. AU I Rights Reserved.)

MULL GLEAN Place Is Always Topsy-Turvy During Recess. It Is One Sure Sign That Congress la About to Meet When Cleaners and Decorators Get Busy in Big Building. j Washington.—“ Clean up" is always I the slogan at the Capitol just before ■ congress meets. Thwre are then busy . house-cleaning scenes from end to I Jud of the massive structure, and it |.is a sure sign that congress soon will ibe here. When congress adjourns at i the end of a session a large force be- j I tins with promptness to dismantle the I meeting rooms of the senate and ! bouse. Their first function is to take up the carpets. The bare floors give the stately chambers, throughout the recess. a forlorn appearance. The carpets, meantime, have been cleaned and packed in moth balls. In the sen- ] ite the desks of the vice-president i and minor officials are given a solemn ■ appearance by beiiig draped with lini»n dusters. Every scrap of paper is i removed and theye is the general efi feet of a deserted house. When congress is about to recon- ' vene there is the bustle and confu- ; sion attending the work of placing the ! big rooms in order for the statesmen, i The floors are littered with rolls of carpets, each bearing a tag designating its geographical location. The mahogany desks at both ends of the Capitol, dingy looking as a result of neglect during the congressional vacation. are in the hands of polishers who make them shine like mirrors. An adoriiment this season in the minority room, the headquarters of the Democratic senators in the senate office building, is a magnificent curai°n at a big arched window. From he floor to the top of the arch is 25 eet, and the window is nearly 10 feet ligh. The inner side of the drapery is if green silk plush. and side | turned to the street is a rich silk | fabric of modest lavender hue. The house restaurant has behn rear- i ranged completely, and the ceilings . ornately decorated. A number of the [ rooms of committees and members of ! both branches have undergone re- : decoration and during the process'the ■ dusty furniture has been stacked up ■ in adjoining rooms. A large collection ! t>f discarded furniture has been in a i capacious circular room on the ground 1 floor in the main line of travel. But | that is all gone now. and while there has been much dirt and confusion, everything has been made spick and span for congress. A Real When it comes to making money, there’s a modest brick building under the shadow of the Washington monument that lays it over any trust. It is officially known as the bureau of engraving and printing. It is Uncle Sam’s factory for turning out national currency, national bank notes, postage stamps, internal revenue stamps, bonds and other things of value. Director J. E. Ralph tells about :hem in his annual report to the secretary of the treasury. -He tells about the production of 67,114,500 sheets of United States currency and 11,526,526 of national bank notes. Postage : stamps ran up to 97,521.708 sheets, containing a total of 10.045,785,207 stamps. Os the higher-priced postage stamps there were 42,992 at $1 each, 697,787 at 50 cents and 16,092,089 at 15 cents. The more common twocenters, with George Washington’s likeness thereon, mounted up to an output of 5,130.249.018. There were .printed 84.011,264 sheets of revenue stamps, 65.000 sheets of United States and Panama bonds, and so on in other hundreds of thousands and millions. In conection with an investigation by the postoffice department it became important for the postmaster general to know how' many postage stamps Ralph had on hand. A count was made that disclosed 1.311,319,607 stamps in the bureau vaults, and the number corresponded to the last onecent stomp with the record in the books. The count of postage stamps suggested a verification of all balances In the bureau. It was done, and showed 2,056.047 sheets of blank paper and 31,166,600 sheets of printed work in various stages of manufacture, these results agreeing with the official records. The face value of these sheets was $470,828,732. U. S. EYE ON BIG CANAL. With every disposition to encourage the investment of capital in the development of the Isthmus of Panama, the government is resolved that it will not permit the issue of concessions by the Panama congress that will in any degree tnreaten the business of the canal. Attention has been drawn to the subject recently by the , passage of a law in Panama granting a concession to a company to construct a railroad entering the city of J Panama from a mining country to the ; southward. It has been alleged that the concession is so drawn as to per- ( mit the construction of extension of Ines of road that might cross the I sthmus and so prove to be an active ompetltor for business with the anal. There is already a project under r way tor ’ho construction of a railroad , entering Panama from David on the I north, hut this, is regarded desirable : because it will form part of the great Intercontinental railway system to the development-' of which the United
States is committed. If It can be shown that the projected southern road can be likewise made available; as part of this system, and that it can- I not be turned into a cross road between the Caribbean and the Pacific, it is probable that the state ment will make no objection to the concession. A careml inquiry is be ing made to ascertain the facts. The canal has been extended to its full width and about half of its complete depth at the Atlantic entrance* Here the bottom of the waterway will' | be 500 feet wide and the depth will be j 41 feet. From deep water as far im j land as the old French canal, or about I five and a half miles, the entrance has I been widened to the required 500 feet | and a depth of at least 20. feet haa : been reached over that distance. A ■ fleet of dredges is now clawing awaj | at the bed of rock to excavate the re ■ mainiug 21 feet. This width of 500 feet and depth o! 41. feet ultimately will extend froa deep water to the Gatun locks, a dis- I tance of seven miles. The minimum ' width of the canal will be 300 feet in ; Culebra cut and the maximum width 1.000 feetdn Gatun lake. The usable width of the locks of the canal, however. will be only 110 feet. The graves of persons buried during the last half century on Flamenco, or Dead Man’s island, in Panama bay, at the Pacific entrance of the Panama canal, must give way to ramparts to protect the waterway. The bodies of ; 31. some of them victims of yellow fever decades ago, have just been i transferred to Ancon cemetery. The island will be' strongly fortified and the war department is making preparations to begin the work in order that it may be finished simultaneously with the opening of the canal to the commerce of the world. Officers and sailors of the United States navy who fell victims to yellow fever years ago contributed a large percentage of the total number buried on Flamenco. Many members of the crews of the U. S. S. Lancaster in j 1861 and the U. S. S. Jamestown in 1867, who died of the fever while those vessels were in Panama bay. were interred on the island. It will never be known how many bodies were buried there. The condition ot | the tombstones and markers, which | I have been removed, is such as to lead | to the conviction that many others I have long since disappeared, leaving j unmarked graves. HURRIED BY HIGH COURT. The staid old Supreme court of the I United States has the members of the | bar on the run. It all results from a i reform that is “reforming.” Instead > j of hearing argument in only 75 cases ■ before the holidays, as was done last i year, the court promises to have pre- ' seated to it before the Christmas recess this year twice that number. Indications are that the court will dis-, pose of half as many more cases this year as it did last year. Lawyers with cases to be heard are being caught unawares and many are hustling forward briefs now that they expected to submit during the winter. The change in pace is generally credited to Chief Justice White. His most patent rule in this direction is regarded to be the one recently adopted reducing the time for oral arguments before the court. Instead of four hours for each case, as in the past, only three hours is given to the most complicated eases and those 1 : arising under the so-called criminal i appeals act, those certified from the circuit court of appeals and those involving only the point of jurisdiction, a mere hour and a half is accorded to the hearing. The hearing of more cases is ex; pected to result in the court eventually catching up with its business so that cases will be heard comparatively soon after being docketed instead of waiting from two to three years: When that time is reached, it is bej lieved the number of cases taken tq the court will be reduced materially because no longer would persons appealing gain a respite from advers* judgment for several years. One result of the increased numb< of cases taken under consideratio probably will be shorter opinion! It is predicted that memorandum opii ions “by the court” rather than ex } tended decisions by a member of the tribunal will become more common as j a result of changed conditions. AUTOS FOR THE ARMY. Dashing down the avenue in Wash ington a squad of artillery army mules made a picturesque procession. A tired army officer who was looking on called attention to the fact, in a pa» thetic, reminiscent way, that in a few years the army mules would be no more. “No more, I said,” he fairly chucks led. “Those confounded autos are supplanting everything that has legs They’ll soon be having a cavalry squad of goggled cyclists and heavy artillery astride automobiles. There’s no telling where this thing will stop.” “What a picture it would be to see a military parade, with the cavalry dashing by with a honk-honk and the gatling guns astride a red-devil racer, while the brass band was stowed away in a sight-seeing auto, trying tc preserve the dignity of Barnum’s early processions. Then fancy the bespectacled orderlies scouting up and down the line—not on prancing charg ers, no, sir—but in scooting airships, flying their signals amid the dazzling whirl of propellers. “Yes,” concluded the old veteran turging at his goatee, “you may as well go on and dream things, for yov can’t tell what will happen in these crazy days. Everyone’s daft, sir, ex cept my few old cronies, and even they’-e beginning to act strange.”
iN HONOR OF RICHARD WAGNER Statue cf the Celebrated German Composer to Be Placed in a Cleveland (O.) Parkt, Cleveland, O. —A notable addition to the beauty of Edgewater Park, at Cleveland, will be a statue of Richard Wagner, the celebrated German composer, whose music is of that enduring greatness which denotes the mas ter. The sculptor of this fine piece of . work is Herman N. Matzene. He has j given us a figure eight feet high, rep- j ■OjB 1 w %tatue of Richard Wagner. resenting Wagner in a characteristic attitude. The pedestal ot the statue plays an important part in this case, for, owing to the short and sturdy figure of the great creator of the Niebe- I I lung drama, careful study was required I ! to so proportion the finished work | that Wagner’s lack of height should i hot seem exaggerated by comparison I with his Edgewater Park’ surroundings. Several models were made and I discarded before the simple design ' and harmonious proportions of the , final statue were evolved. The result , 's worthy of praise and will afford ' pleasure to thousands of the great i composer's admirers. ' FLOWS 250 GALLONS A MINUTE j Well Gives Abundance of Artesian Water for the “Short Grass” Country of Kansas. Topeka, Kan.—At Richfield, Morton county, this state, are two artesian wells. The first of these, of which a picture accompanies this article, is 592 feet deep and flows 250 gallons a minute into two ditches, one fchtering a field of alfalfa, and a young grove of cottonwood and maple trees, and the other irrigating the garden of E. M. Dean, who drilled the well. Another well, drilled after the first one, is 595 feet deep and flows three hundred gallons a minute with a pressure of 40 pounds. It is believed that Kansas Artesian Well. «n underground lake or river of water Underlies all of south west Kansas at «. depth not yet penetrated by any of the wells that have been put down. The town of Hugoton, in Stevenson •.ounty, has appropriated SIO,OOO with which to sink an experimental well to a depth of two or three thousand feet. Others are prospecting in Morton and Stanton counties. Granddaddy Flea Is Caught. Los Angeles, Cal. —Mrs. E. Manning, the “champion jack smelt catcher of Long Beach” captured the grandfather of all fleas in- Long Beach by capturing a monster that weighed one pound and three-quarters and which measures ten inches across with his legs stretched out. The flea is believed to be many years old. Dies of Hen Roost Shot. Norristown, Pa.—Hamilton Kild son of a farmer sheriff of Montgomery county, died in the hospital here from gunshot wounds inflicted by Alvin Haines, a Plymouth township farmer. Before his death Kile admitted that he was in the act of stealing chickens from the farmer’s hen roost when be was zhot.
W. L DOUGLAS’ TRUST PLAN Manufacturer Thinks Government Should Obtain Publicity by a \ License System. Large business organizations have come to stay. We cannot go back to old conditions. We must meet world competition. Large concerns can produce goods at lower cost than small ones. Germany favors large corporations. The method of the present national administration Is to dissolve the great organizations and make them smaller, which is a backward step. There should be no limit to a corporation doing a large and legitimate business, such as would be possible under the licensing plan which 1 favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former governor of Massachusetts, in the Boston Herald. Prejudices against corporations !' merely because they are big, perhaps. ' must be done away with. They give i labor better returns. They cheapen i product and thus benefit the consm- | er. They give opportunities to small ; Investors who get returns otherwise i unattainable. They employ able young men who have no capital at all, but who receive handsome salaries for their ability and service. In place of the Sherman law it Is py opinion there should be a department at Washington to grant licenses to ail manufacturers and corporations in this country who do an interstate ! Commerce business. The law should be made so clear, plain and definite that it could not be misunderstood. It should require all rapital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly statements should be given to the public and certified by a public accountairt. There should be a board of examiners in each state to look after these corporations just as our national banks are watched by the national government. They should have the right to enter the offices and examine the records of all the directorates of these companies.
