II is II matter OF profound congratu-
lation TO those who are DESTROYS Of
keeping in touch with the best con-
temporary thought that it is not an
imperative duty to read the three Or
four thousand so-called American
novels that appear every year. Also
in the matter Of magazine reading,
while formerly one or two magazines
represented the best OF American
thought and culture in their pages,
the reader of to-day must pick and
choose from half dozen magazines
and supplement his gleanings from the
great daily newspaper.

Speaker Elder
sm-Haylng read your protest against
womenS suffrage, containing the asser-
tion that "when the laws Of nature
should 80 change the female organiza-
tiOn az to make Il possible for them TO
sing bass" you would then be quite
willing for such bill TO become a law,
we the undersigned, Immediately began

berlng how slight concession "a change

However, In our practice we have dis
covered that "bass' ls not 80 desirable a
musical quality as you seem to imagine.
In fact, without the aid Of the soprano IL
is very monotonous, indeed. We have
found that no really great musical pro-
duCtlon has ever been written consisting
Of "bass" alone. IL ia Of about as much
use as the solid foundation Of house 10

Is not always the sign Of even superior
physical strength sometimes quite the
contrary. We respectfully recommend
10 your notice the science OF acoustics,
which demonstrates that the vibrations
Of sound multiply many thousands Of
times in direct ratio, as they ascend the
the scale. Hence, 10 follows that the So
prano voice must have a greater com
mand Of the tension and flexlbillty Of the
vocal chords, and the singer must have
more scientific knowledge, whether nat.
ural or acquired, than can possibly be
used by the singer Of ''bass."
Now, we have become tired Of listen.
ing perpetually to the dull, monOtonous,
growing "bass" notes Of "bass" (baseP)

that the perfect and triumphant anthem
Of harmonious government requires the
higher, sweeter and purer notes OF the so-
prano. We are Of the opinion that all
future successful statesmen must and
will learn to sing soprano aa we'll

that our deiunct Senatorial Representa-

Fine Suite of Rooms.

Meeting with Mr.. i. l.. Stinson on the street,
a reporter questioned him about the improve
ments in his offices. He stated that business
had grown so much that it became absolutely
necessary to enlarge his quarters in the Safe De-
post building, Front street. "But come up and
take a look round"
On the first floor over the Merchants bank,
occupying the entire frontage and other portions
of the building, are situated five rooms, each
ranged for their special purposes; medical ex-
aminer's room replete with all conveniences:
adjoining this is Mr.. Stinson's private Office.
This apartment is particularly bright and at
traetive, and deserving more than passing at
tention; handsomely framed portraits OF Presi-
dent Mr.. Richard A. McCurdy and Vice-Presi-
dent Mr.. Robert A. Granniss, of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company OF New YORK, together with
other works OF art adorn the walls. The
decorations are very pleasing and artistic.
Passing through into the general office under
the supervision of Mr.. J. X. Conway, here is to
be found everything in the way OF comfort and
utility in aiding the clerical staff connected
with this great company. The walls are decor
ated in terra Gotta in pleasing contrast TO the
dark and pale blues OF the private once ana
medical examining rooms.
The wants of the agents have been wei con-
sidered, for adjoining is coy private room tor
their special use where clients may be inter
viewed and the secrets of life Insurance ex-
pounded Passing on to the next room, which
is GeyOteu 10 the uSt q! agcuts auu seheha sup
plies the latter are kept in a large handsome,
specially constructed cabinet so arranged and
indexed that any document or printed matter OF
the apparently unlimited assortment can be
had at a moments notice. Every facility for
conducting first-class life insurance business
has apparently been provided for.
The furniture throughout the suite is OF hand
some dark antique oak, upholstered in dark
green leather. The carpeting in each room being
rich and appropriate.
The general excellence of this popular COM
pany is well deserving of firstclass quarters, as
it is their custom OF conducting business in a
business-like manner, whilst, at the same time,
extending every possible courtesy to their
patrons
Great taste and foresight has been exercised
in the selection and arrangement OF these unique
and replete rooms, and we feel sure that a visit

st. Paul roads will be completed. The
Vanderbilts have long been anxious to se-
cure fOothold west of the Missouri river.
and gain an independent outlet for their
system of roads to the Pacific coast. 1t il
not likely that they will be content with
only the Union Pacific, but that they mean
to acquire other important railway sys-
TENS west of the Rocky mountains. The
contest is said to be now in progress be-
tween the Vanderbilts, Chicago, Burling-
ton e. Quincy, and the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, for the possession of the
Denver d Rio Grande road, with prospects
that the vanderbilts will carry off the plum.
If the Vanderbilts succeed in getting the
Rio Grande it is believed their next move
will be TO secure control of the Southern
Pacific, and there are no serious obstacles
in the way of their getting it. With thi,
road in their control. the Vanderb;lts will
be able to dictate terms to all other lines,
so far as through traffic between the At
lantic aud Pacific is concerned. Gould is
probably interested in this scheme. and
has an understanding with the Wander
bits and DrexeI. Morgan & Co., whereby
his railroad interests in the West receive
ample protection.
NEW York, Aug. 29.-With regard to the
report that Jay Gould has retired from the
control of the Union Pacific and that
close combination between the Union Pa
ciic, st. Paul and Northwestern will soon
be consummated. nothing definite in the
way of information or denial could be
learned here today. but it was generally
understood that Pierpont Morgan and his
friends have recently bought large blocks
of Union Pacific stock. and that most of it
was for Vanderbilt account
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Charles Fl. Coaler,
of the firm of Drexel, Morgan &c Co., said

curities of the Union Pacific railroad be-
ing placed in the hands of his firm. He
further said he knew nothing about Jay
Gould's REIMBURSEMENT of the road and

spirit in the management.

tria, at Mayerling, on the 30th of January.
1903. Ihe pamphlet was suppressed by the
austrian imperial family. The pamphlet
Tells the story in so circumstantial a man
ner. packed by autograph letters, as to leave
no doubt as to its value as historical docu-
ment. An important feature is the famous
part played IN the tragedy by no less a
parsonage than niece of the empress of
Austria. The pamphlet accuses her of
being. not only an intermediary, but a
olackmaiier as well. Briefly summarized
the story Is: The Baroness Marie Yet
zera; then La years of age, fell in love at
hrst sight with the crown prince. and FIRE.
quentiy met him in social, ordinary way.
Finally she entrusted her secret to Count
tess Larisch, the empress of Austria's
niece, and this lady at once undertook to
act as a go-between, while taking advan-
tage OF her knowledge of the state of
affairs to levy blackmail on the prince.
At one time the mother of the girl su,-
pected something amiss, but the Countess
Barisch was ready with plausible tale.
At last the girl fed to Mayerling. by pre-
arrangement with the prince, and few
hours later her death was known by the
emperor. but not by the distracted mother.
who IN vain implored the chief of police
and Count Taafe, the Austrian premier.
to cause search to be instituted for her
daughter. The truth of the double sui
eide. or murder and suicide. is at
last definitely established by this
publication. The pamphlet shows
that the princes mind had long
been given TO thoughts of suicide.
but Marie did her best to dissuade him
from this. 1t was not until hope for both
of them fed that she resolved to share his
death. For the first time is stated the in
dignities offered her dead body. How she
was carted away in sitting posture be-
tween her two uncles. even a coffin being
denied her relatives when moving her;
how her mother was prosecuted and Wilt
he'd; how everything was done to lay the
blame on the girl, forms narrowing story
as told by the mother. The alleged false
hoods circulated about her are exposed and
the daughters dying message given.
