Italian Method Of Singing.

1t is an acknowledged fact that the
greatest singers the world has produced
have been those who have been taught
in the old Italian school, and the very
few really eminent singers now before
the public, such as Nine. Trebelli, Mr..
Sims Reeves, Nine Adelina Patti and
one or two others, are all of them pro-
fcient in this method. 1t is lamented
that whereas, at the present time, there
are naturally as many fine voices in the
world as ever, there are very few really
great singers. Passing over many of the
causes OF the present deterioration of the
vocal art, such as the influence
of the Wagnerian school and the
decline of Italian opera, which are
more or less irreleva to our
object, We will give the foremost
place to that which is certainly the chief
among them-namely, the want of an
obligatory course of thorough training i'll
the mechanism Of singing before the
higher part is reached, and the almost
total extinction of the long line of great
teachers, not only in this country, but in
Italy itself. The Italian maestri of the
past considered that it was absolutely
necessary for singer, if he or she in.
tended to become eminent, TO dovote 81
least from five to six years. study to this
great art. As rule, the first two or
three years were employed in forming
the voice and in teaching the elementary
exercises and solfeggi. after which the
pupil was allowed to sing ongs, ballads
and operate pieces. The highest aim
it would seem, of the majority Of our
young singers, in their earnest desire to
begin to earn livelihood for themselves,
is to acquire at the end of six months
study under an Indifferent teacher a
knowledge how to sing half dozen bal,
lads tolerably well, after which they
usually consider themselves accom-
plished artists. The public, which is nc
longer in touch with really great singing
applauds them, and they 60 the rounds
OF England and America with their linn
tied repertoire, and, fortunately for them
selves, but unfortunately for true art
are able to make fair living. Greatnes;
they can never achieve, because great
ness in singing, as in every other art
can only come with patience, time anC
hard work.-TSaturday Review.

Terry,s Credits.

SAN Francisco, January 30.-Judge
David S. Terry will on Friday make a
demand on Sheriff Hale to be released
from the Alameda County Jail, District
Attorney Reed having decided that he is
entitled to thirty days, credits for
good behavior. The Sheriff is in
quandary, as United States Dis
trict Attorney Carey's advice is to the
contrary. The Sheriff will probably,
however, allow the prisoner his freedom.
1t is stated that when this is done, Terry
will Immediately be re-arrested on GRIM

Higgins Visits Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 30.-General
Harrison had q number of prominent
visitors to-day, the chief Of whom was
Hon. Anthony Higgins, Senator-elect
from Delaware. Higgins spent over an
hour in consultation with the President
elect. He suggested the name of Gen
eral James H. Wilson, of Wilmington,
Del, for Secretary of War. Louis Alt
heimer, of Pine Bluff, Ariz., a wealthy
planter, came to endorse and urge the
recognition of General Powell Clayton
for a place in the Cabinet. A sad acci.
dent marred his visit. for he is next-door
neighbor and bosom friend of the Hon.
John B. Clayton, who was assassinated
last night at Plummersville, Ark. The
news reached him early this morning
General Harrison was profoundly af-
fected.

A BIG Law SUIT.
The sanity of the Seller Clearly
tablfxkled.

FRESNO, January 3O.-In the cele-
brated land case, in which the wife Of
jeremiah Clarke, now insane, sought to
have set aside contract given to He'll
bron ct al, in May, 1880, to purchase
Laguna de Tache grant, "a 900 acres at
So per acre, any time before
1894, on the ground that Clarke
was insane when the contract
was made, the defense to-day practically
settled the question of Clarke's sanity by
producing thirty.three letters written by
him at short intervals from July, 1879,
to October, 1881. One letter was dated
April 26, 1880, four days before the con-
tract was made. All the letters show
that Clarke was perfectly sane at the
time. The grant is now worth So ,000, 900.

Los Angeles people no longer need be
at loss as to where to 60 for the re-
freshment of the inner man. Mr.. Thos.
J. Cuddy, the whilom Chief of Police
of this gay burg. has opened place o.
refreshment on First street, just west o.
Spring, which answer all demands fully.
1t is oaeAof the most costly artistic re-
sorts in The land, and it is presided ovel
by prince of good fellows. Here il:
little acrostic some literary friend OF
royal Tom wrote for the opening last
night:
TELL me where's the snuggest bar
Here or elsewhere? 'Tis not far,
On First street, just from Spring street west,
My word, you'll find of drink the best,
And swear such wine was never poured
Since Noah got as full's Lord.
Just one sample will convince
Cuddy treats you like a prince.
Unto all the "Chief" does give.
Drink, "by which man E,ay live"
Drink from grape and drink from grain;
Hou cannot help but call again.

Business men are. now enjoying brisk
business, and so are thieves. for we read OF
another bold daylight robbery in our city.
A man in Lawrenceville was foolish enough
to have 81, 300 in gold coin and lot Of
jewelry in his house, and yesterday some
sharp thieves relieved him of any further
care of them. He seems to have had more
faith in his house than he had in banks. 1t
be had been wise he would have secured
safe in the burglar-proof safe of The SAFE
Deposit Company of Pittsburg, and he would
to-day have been in possession of his gold.
Why is it that people do not take warning BY
the experience Of others? 1t has been dem,
onstrated again and again that money ana
other valuables are not safe IN our resi-
dences. A safe in the vault Of The Sale
Deposit Company of Pittsburg can be had a.
q small expense. The peace Of mind and
sense of security are worth all it costs to get
this protection. People should ponder these
matters IN their minds, and act promptly:
Don't fail to get safe at The Safe Deposit
Company. of Pittsburg at once. Run no risk

Order From Portland.


Order From Portland.
The westinghouse. Electric Company re-
ceived an order yesterday from the Willamette
Electric Company. Of Portland. Ore, Tor q
plant with machinery strong enough to supply
l0,O00 Incandescent lights and 100 arc lights.
The plant viii be located II miles from Port
land. at Willamette Falls, and water power
will be applied to generate the electricity.
This will be the first plant erected where the
current has been carried so great distance
and special machinery is required TO accom-
plish the work. By the use of ordinary volt
age too much wire would be required, and the
cost of the plant would be greatly increased
This is overcome by using heavier wire ana in-
creasing the strength of the current by tne
use of the machinery TO be used at Portland
1000 volts can pe generated in single current
or double the strength Of the heaviest ma
chinery used in this locality. A branch station
will be erected in the city of Portland, where
the electric current will be regulated ana re-
generated to the ordinary power Anotner
peculiarly about the plant VIII be the ma
chinery used to supply the arc lamps useo IN
lighting the city. 1t will be the hrst macnne
put out with sufficient capacity to supply iUO
lamps. 1t will be built on the principle OF the
new arc lighting machine brought out oy tne
Westinghouse Company two weeks ago.
The entire plant, when completed and reaoy
for operation. will cost the Willamette Com-
pany about 500 900.
