And mly'st thou ever bless
Thy parents hearts with love
Until from earth God calls thee
To dwell with Him above.

CINCISSArI, March 8, 1905
Ma. EDITOR The tragedy, or rather
suicide, at st. Xavier College las not in the
least cured the propensity Of the Cincin-
natians for tearing down buildings. Yes
tsrday morning, upon awakening about Z
O'Clock, was startled by seeing the image
Of man in the glass in my room. Upon
examination, found it was a laborer en-
gagged in the demolition Of fine mansion
which stood towering on the N. E. corner
of Vine and Third streets, the entrance to
which was reached from Third street up
flight of thirty or forty steps. You proba-
bly, remember the building. 1t was an
elegant brick, two stories high, with mas
sive Ionic columns in front, and would be
deemed palace almost in most any other
place but Cincinnati. But such is the
spirit of improvement here-such the na-
mia for FIVE story stone fronts-thst this
ancient heritage must give way and be dis
uantled. When the rubbish is removed
the bank of earth on which it stasds which
is more than twenty feet above the level Of
Third street, will be cut down and remov-
ed, and after that they will sink a cellar I
some ten or twelve feet lower, and in few I
weeks q massive Eve story stone front ,
block will be seen looming up on the spot
This is but a sample of v hat is going on all 4
over the city. +.
A new feature in this fast city is the
street railroads, which traverse the city 10
all directions. These are now run by horse
power. but last night the experiment was
tried of running them BY locomotive. aud
1t proved q complete success. The loco
motive is the invention of Mr.. Latta, of
this city, and is another triumph of Gin
einnati genius. II makes no more noise
than the rafting Of the car, enables the
train to stop more readily, and turns the
corners without any trouble or risk. Twas
i'm the city and saw the first ground broken
for the lines of railroads, and again I was
here and had the pleasure of seeing the
first locomotive attached to the car on the
road. These roads, by -the-way. are great
inatitution, and a cheap one
saire: was in the city when that young :
man and his wife, to whom he was never J
married, committed murder and suicide, in
which case both the murdered and the sui
eide got well; and on the night OF my ar
rival this week, two shocking murders
were committed. / take it as good omen
that wherever / go the Democratic party
decreases.
The sensation of the week has been the
advent of Madame Gazzaniza, in an Ope-
ratio Concert at Pixies Opera House, assist
ed by Signor Tamaro and Mons. Chenal.-
Through the kindness Of your old friend,
Glenn, of the Gazette, was enabled to
work my way, and see and hear. The Ma
dame is petite. piquant and pretty, with
not so good figure as Piccolomini, but
prettier face. Her voice is swee: and clear,
possessing great volume .aSd compass

Madame GazEanixs was "Andante from

Tonight went to see Mrs. F. B. Conway
as Camille Gautier," in which character q
she is far superior to Dora Shaw, especial J
ly in the 4th and 5th acts. She was well u
sustained. and particularly SO by her hus-
band, Mr.. F. =. Conway. as Armand Du- p
val. Many parts were rendered BY both
characters with thrilling effect.
