WHILE visiting the Luuatic Asylum
on Blackwell's Island, Miss Loughlan,
a lady in charge Of one Of the female
wards, called a reporters attention to
pretty, air.haired girl, about twenty
years of age, who had not spoken a
word since she entered the ASYLUM, over
two years and half ago. Her name
is Lord Beekman, and her insanity was
caused by disappointment in love.
She was engaged to be married to a
young man who, shortly before the
appointed wedding day, left her and
became engaged to another woman.
The keeper and his assistants have
resorted to many expedients to make her
speak, but her strange silence remains
unbroken. With her arms tightly
drawn over her breast she sits on the
same stool and listlessly stares at the
walls the whole day long, recognizing
nobody, and seemingly unconscious
Of the presence of others The most
romantic episode in this deranged wo-
mans life is that once year a young
man comes and places a bouquet of
flowers in her hands, after which he
Immediately goes away. The name and
residence Of this mysterious visitor is
unknown.

Miss KellOgg's First Appearance.

ened girl came before a New York
audience at the Academy Of Music,
and sang for them the role of Gi1do
in Verdi's "Rigoletto" she was met
by that most awful Of all formalities-
respectful attention. Like so many
opera audiences before and since, 1t
had come to be astonished and thrill
ed; and, disappointed because it had
not been, it was sternly critical. 1t
wanted phenomenon: it had been
given fact. The Gilda, like hun
dreds ofother first attempts, was just
far enough removed from a positive
failure to be tiresome to the people
who desired a sensation. The pale
andfrightened girl struggled with the
passionate duties of the role with
very little human aid, and when the
curtain fell upon the last act she stag
gered to her dressing-room and fell
fainting among her friends.
Nature, at that moment, protested
against the severity Of the ordeal,
and was kindlier than her audience.
Indeed, the applause of her friends
had a suspicious sympathy in it.
Still, some kind ola victory had been
gained, though the world did not
know it. The girl knew it. That
was something. In all such cases,
the artists knowledge of herself is
moro essential than her knowledge
of others. This girl, coldly receiv-
ed, and fainting at the threshold of
the profession, with her own and
others natures to overcome,-drop-
ped her first tear there in the half
closed doorway Of success, and an
nounced her determination to sue
coed. 1t was the last tear that was
shed.
There was not strength enough,
SAID the critics, and, above all, Gull
ture was lacking. 1t was doubtful
if she could succeed at any time.
The very evidences of the true art
list organization, the keen suscepti-
bility, the over-wrought senses, as
well as the trepidation Of inexperi-
ence, the blush Of youth and modes
ty, the maidenly reserve, were up
held against her. But they were in
part the elements out of which she
was to build her future success.
With this ordeal entered Clara
Louise Kellogg upon her artistic..ca-
ceer. There was not a single pre-
diction made of her ultimate emf
nence. But when we reflect how
many aspirants have appeared in the
same way, and after the same re-
suits have disappeared, never again
to be heard of; when we consider
that at,this time Miss Kellogg is in
possession of an assured and honor
able position at the head of Ameri-
can singers, we can be sure of the
ability and determination, that were
hidden from the wonder-seeking
spectators in the pale and frightened
debutante in role of Gilda.

WHY AMADEUS ADVOCATED.

The Correspondcnce OF Mr. Fish and
General siclkles the Operating Cause
Prospects OF the Republfc-OpiniOns Of
. Spanish Editor.
Senior Ferrer De Couto editor OF Ell Crontsto,
being questioned yesterday as to what he thought
Of the Spanish revolution, made the following
statement
The Spanish intolerance OF foreign interference,
ne thought, was little understood by foreigners.
NO Ministry and no government would be sup
ported or tolerated for any length Of time that SUD-
mited TO foreign dfctatton or looked to any other
government Tor countenance and support. That
was the chief mistake made by the provisional
Prim and the enforcement of an Italian. That
whole movement was concocted and carried iutO
execution by men who lived by and for ONCE.
They maintained certain amount OF influence
and control with the army, but never had any
respectable following OF citizens. The exhaus-
ton following the chronic state Of revolution In
Spain alone made its establishment possible, and
its continuance in power was more due to appre-
hension OF the loss or Cuba as o consequence OF
continued revolution than to any inherent power
IN the government
A morning paper had endeavored TO show that
the advancement of Doh Hldalgo had precipitateo
this trouble. This Senior de Cout0 thought to be
totally unfounded. The real operating cause was
the correspondence between the Spanish govern
ment and Messrs. Fish and Sickles. government
only tolerabe before became intoerable when such
correspondence was received with complacency by
Spanish king. The manner in which the Spanish
people received 1t demonstrated W Amadeus the

impossbity OF his ever obtaining the confidence
oil the people, ana he abdicated.
He thought that the establishment of republic
was not tnopp0rtune. 1t was, perhaps, the best
thing under the circumstances and, II made per-
manent would lead 70 the speedy solution OF the
Cuban question. Separate State governments,
with representation to general law-making
power, he Thought might reconcile the discordant
elements In Cuba. He thought that Spaniards
generally had little confidence In repubfcs The
danger to the one just declared would, In his
days. The Carlists already in arms might crystal
lie, In opposition to republic, with the adher-
ents OF Prince Alfonso and other elements OF dis
cord, ana the Republic would be In great danger.
Prince Alfonso had powerful influence In the
army as well as among the aristocratic portion
OF the Spanish people. Don Carlos CON-
bined most OF the influence OF priesthood
and big0try. He was supported, besides by
the northern provinces forming the Old Kingdom
or Navarro. The constitutional monarchy had de-
prved these provinces OF long established priv
ileges, such as immunity from military service,
exemption from tax on tobacco and free municipal
governments. They had Joined with Carlos In
hopes OF having these privileges re-established
Failure to act In concert ne thought might weaken
the power OF this opposition, but protracted civil
should be firmly established, he concluded that 1t
would be OF the most democratic description, to-
tai abolition OF class powers and privileges. He
personally felt 80 little confidence In peaceful times
that he should continue his residence In this coun
try. He felt clear on one point, that Spanish char
acter had been vtndicated. Sixty years ago they
had put Napoleon and million of men out OF their
country at the toe or their boot and the latest for
eign ruler had followed In the same footsteps.

nary studies at the public school he studied phioso
ply at Cevera and later at Tarragona. While still
a student he took q deep interest in politics,
unfolding liberal ideas, afiliating himself among
the progreststas representing then the most radi-
cal aspirations OF the young men Of the times. The

party and among the first to adopt It's theories.
After the events OF 1912, eliminating In the bonn
bardment OF Barcelona, he separated himself from
this party, becoming editor OF the Constitutional

Department is encouraged to hope that the claims
OF American citizens pending before the Spanish
American Claims Commission would be much
sooner settled under q republican form OF govern
ment than under monarchy, and the unpleasant
relations growing out OF the existing state OF
affairs in the Island be speedily 0bllterated. 1t is
even asserted that our Minister at Madrid under
instructions from the Secretary OF State. has cx-
ciscd all OF his ability to shape sentiment In favor

for some time. Secretary Fish does not care to
