From an interview with Miss Kel-
log in the N. Y. Herald:


From an interview with Miss Kel-
log in the N. Y. Herald:
Patti has retained, wonderfully
we'll, her popularity, her youth, her
lovely voice during her extended oper-
attic career, and when | heard her
lately she charmed me more than l
can tell you. Not having seen or
heard her in a long time was anx-
ious to avail myself Of the first Oppor-
tunity; and was early in my box
that l might not loose a moment OF
the occasion to which | had been
looking forward The opera was the
Barber Of Seville, and | watched
anxiously for her coming. Would
she look the Patti of old? Would she
have altered greatly Would she
seem still nore the woman and less
the girl of the old days? There she
was at last and was agreeably
disappointed. The same pretty
figure, trife larger, perhaps, but still
very, very pretty, and, to my mind,
just right in its proportions; the same
interesting face, with hardly touch
of time upon tia little touch about
the mouth, perhaps; just little line
drawn at each side, but still the face
bright in girlish sweetness | always
found in Adelina PATHS features.
Her manner was exactly the same as
ever, as bright and lively and engaging
as when she was with us in America,
and her acting better and more fin
ished by ripened experience and prac-
tice. / was delighted with her, and
settled myself back in my box in
thorough contentment."
"And her voice? Had there been
any change there?'
After hearing her in several operas
this was my opinion: She sang more
dramatically than | ever heard her,
and in the medium register her voice
was fuller, rounder, broader, hut its
agility was not quite as perfect-mind
you, moi lacking in absolutely fine ex-
ecution, but not as astonishingly per-
feet as before. 1t was not that she
failed to make as brilliant effects, as
graceful and clear cut fortunes,
but simply that she varied them with
view to aiding their perfection. For
instance, some difficult fortunes which
we're difficult ascending progression,
she now took in the more easy de-
scending progression. But still she
was, in my mind, the greatest living
singer, whom no one in Europe or
America can successfully rival to-day.
There is no one like her, in the even
ness, precision, clear cut brilliancy of
her vocal execution, and she has still
about her voice that birdlike sweet
ness that is one gifts most charm
ing characteristics"

energetic and worthy young men,
have formed a partnership and gone
into business at No. IL West

every possible variety ofgoods made Of

Mr.. Dixon is we'll known as one Of
the most reliable and go ahead young

cessful business. They can sell goods
at factory prices, and being the only
rubber firm in Memphis, no doubt
will make grand success. They
have our best wishes.

The New York Commercial Bulle-
tin says it is learned that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad will be
completed to Newport News by Octo-
Der lst, with branch to Yorktown.
The breach will connect the steam
boat landings with the encampment
grounds on Temple Farm.
1t is intended to make Newport
News a port for shipment Of merchan-
disc to Europe, and the completion Of
the road to that place is the fist step
in the scheme.
Mr.. Hatch, of Fish & Hatch, stated
to BulletiA reporter Thursday, that
in order to obtain the necessary steam
transportation across the ocean, the
Chesapeake and Ohio are now nego-
tiating with the White Star Steam
ship company for that company to run
line of steamers to Newport News,
which Mr.. Hatch claims is the finest
port in the country, and in every way
fitted for the terminus Of the road
and the transfer of freight to ocean
vessels. The negotiations are net just
yet finally completed, however, and
until they are no further particulars
can be given.
Mr.. R. j. Cortis, agent of the
White Star Steamship Company,
stated to the reporter that the negO-
tiations, if there were any, were con-
Quoted with the company on the other
side. He had been informed by one
of the railroad men interested that
Newport News is a large and fine port,
and that the railroad was anxious to
have line of steamers connect with
it. Mr.. Cortis thought that if the
line was started to connect with the
road the principal merchandise car
ried would be cotton and tobacco, and
perhaps a little grain. He stated that
the White Star Company had recently
built two new steamers, which could
be run to Newport News if it was de-
eided to establish a line to that port.
The New York correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Ledger says the
trunk railroad people in that city ex-
press more or less concern at this an
nouncement, believing it will have an
important effect upon railroad inter
ests centered there. The cotton and
tobacco trades OF the South and
Southwest, it is believed, can be
drawn to the Chesapeake and Ohio.
and it is expected also that this road
will attract no inconsidersble share Of
Western grain, it having recently
effected connections with other lines,
which will give it access to Cincin-
natl, Chicago, st. Louis, etc. The
Baltimore and Ohi,, adds the CORE
spondent, will probably be the first of
the trunk lines to experience the
effects Of this new competition.
