of those artistic falsehoods given publicity
to-day that they may be denied tomorrow.
She will sing In Boston, as have just COM

Patti should say anything she is reported to

isn't like her," There has been, during the
entire festival a rumor that for certain
causes Patti was liable at any time to refuse
to sing; in fact il was said at first that she

least, il was limited to-day that she had re-
belled and had refused to sing tonight All
these statements Col. Mapleson branded as
false. Patti appeared in Faust" tonight

TESTIMONY OF A Sr0NECUTrER WHO WORKED
ON THE CAPITOL TERRACE-WHY HE LEFT.
Thomas j. McNickle. who was on the stand in
the Clark investigation yesterday afternoon,
said the stone used In the Capitol terrace was
not marble but limestone. He referred con-
temptuously to the work on the wall, saying
that 1t would make good cellar wall where It
would not be seen. The lines, he said, were
generally bad, and the material wretchedly
poor. Since the investigation had begun an at
tempt had been made to doctor the work, but
the more it was "dOctored" the worse 1t became
There was no remedy, he said, but to tear it
down and rebuild it. On cross-examinatiOn the
witness was pressed to state the difference be-
tween marble and limestone, and said the diff.
ference was that lime could be made out of
limestone and not OF marble. The stone used
In the Washington Monument was generally
of the same Character as that used in the ter
race wall. He declared his willingness to say
the terrace wall was crumbling to decay. 1t
was shown also on the cross-examination that
the witness had worked for the contractors on
the terrace, and left after having o difficulty
with them over stone which he had spoiled
iq cutting.
