She Sang S35, 900 Worth of Melody to the

New YORK, April 2-"Sing to him Nj
colini; am too tired" Nine. Adelina
Patti who has expended $4,000 worth of
melody and song on her Mexican hairless
dog, Ricca, during the last three years,
sighed as she turned from the cradle
in which the unhappy animal lay
dying on Friday night. 1t was in the
Windsor Hotel and Nine. Patti and her
husband were leaning over their pet. La
Diva had sung to him softly, and she was
weary of her long vigil when she turned
to Signor Ncolini pathetically and said,
"Sing to him. Nicolini; am too tired.
The rich voice of Nicolini broke the
stiffness of the death chamber. The hair
less dog cast reproachful look at his ialr
owner, glanced at the door, uttered low
cry of pain and shivcrcd He lay still at
ter that for he was dead dog. Madame
Patti burst into tears. Signor Nicolinl
looked little guilty, but in her grief the
songstress had no blame for him. She
had asked him herself to sing Patti sang
in "Martha" at the Metropolitan Opera
house tonight. Few of those who noticed
a mournful tinge in hor voice and her in
expressibly solemn bearing, knew the
cause of ia Mexican hairless corpse ~
ing in coffin at her apartments in the

They Robbed German Emigrants En- Route
to America

BERLIN, April 3.-Franz Lieftuchcr and
Johann Paulus have been sentenced re-
spectively to four and two years imprison-
ment at Trevee for swindling. This is
the result Of the efforts of the authorities
to break up gang of sharpers who have
for long time thrived by cheating Ger
man eingrants waiting at the various
ports on the eve Of embarking for Amer"
ca. The principal operations of Lief
tucher and Paulus were carried on at
Antwerp and Rotterdam. Their victims
were numerous, and many emigrants ar
rived in New York penniless in conse-
quence Of having encountered the crooks
before leaving port. The swindling was
generally done by sharp practice at cards
In addition to their Imprisonment which
they must undergo, the men are con
demned to lose their civil rights for i've
wears.

The total Democratic assembly gain thus

total of 81 give Wardell 1914, Brown 1917.
FINE WEATHER.
PROVIDENCE, R. L., April 6.-Forty-four
Districts: Give Brown, 1892; Wardwell,
S,305. Democrats lose three assemblymen
from Cumberland. The weather was fine,
both sides made every exertion to bring
out full vote and the election was at
tended with considerable excitement.
Individual men, especially on legisla-
tive tickets, were scratched everywhere
in the state and it must be long task to
count the votes and a late hour in the
night before the result can be known
with any degree Of accuracy.
Providence, April 6, (Midnight).-The
Democratic and Republican vote thus far
is as follows:
Governor Brown, Republican, l6,25O;
Wardell, Democrat) l6,048. The Proh-
bition vote will probably be sufficient to
defeat the election by the people. The
legislature is undoubtedly Republican.
PROVIDENCE, April Fifty towns and
districts give Wardwell, 1858; Brown,.

Industrial Notes.

Work was begun on the 1ntermont Ho-
tel last week. Contractors Baker ana
Hurd have the contract for the woodwork
and arc now wainscoating the dining room
The dining room floor, which is of poplar
is to be replaced by some hard wood, like
wise the kitchen floor.
Mr.C D. Wax, who has the contract
for papering the entire hotel, is now pre-
pairing the walls for the paper which was
ordered from New Jersey and is expected
this week.
The cleaning up of the kitchen-annex
is being done by Jesse Cobbs. This part
of the hotel is in worse condition than
any other All the floors are to be taken
up and the plaster even taken from the
walls.
The contractors will have the hotel in
shape to be opened by May lst.
Genr'l R. A. Ayers on his east trip to
Philadelphia, bought large supply OF
table-cloths, napkins etc, for the hotel.
Messrs. Suthers and Monteiro, shipped
their first car load of iron ore last Friday
to the Graham furnace from the Tate
tract.
The society editor of The World, says
that nothing will he done in New York
next week on account of so many society
people being absent at the opening of the
Four Seasons Hotel at Harrogate, Tenn,
April 10th.
Among those who are expected are: the
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, ex-
Secretary Whitney, Ward McAllister and
others of New York's 400 AS these peo-
pie pass through here, it has been suggest
ed that platform be built at the depot,
and on this be put specimens of coal, coke
and iron ore, all placarded. This would
draw the attention of travellers to this
place.
The Central Hotel is following the ex-
ample set by the Intermont. The office
has Just been newly papered and a bath
room has been fitted out and papered, adj
joining the office.
In the rear building was begun this
week which is to be an annex to the Cen
trail This building is to have bar-room,
sample room for drummers, billiard room
and several Offices.
On account of the increase in freight
business, both Of the engines were brought
out or the street railway last week.
A very great increase has been made in
the number of gardens this year. Two
years ago there were hardly halfa dozen
gardens within the city limits, now they
are to be seen on all sides. Several per-
sons here are making large gardens in the
suburbs both for private use and to sell
from. This promises large quantities Of
vegetables at reasonable prices
Mr. G. A. & A. W. Tracy. have the con-
tract to make 500 of the ''half- way-around
and again" churns which are work
ed by motion somewhat similar to BIZ
cycle riding. This is the churn which was
patented and shown on the streets some
time ago.

YOUNG LADIES DROWNED.
Little Fcur-Year-Old Niece Shares Their
Fate.

Fate.
BRISTOL, Tenn, April "A telegram
from Chas. +. Palmer, at Saltville, this
morning, announces the death by drown
ing of Misses Carrie and Matte Mussel-
white, daughters of Morley Musselwhite,
Esq, and their little four-year-old niece,
supposed to be the daughter of G. V.
White, Esq.
Morley Musselwhite lives near the old
river salt works on North Fork of Holston
river, about two miles or less from Salt
willie Station. The three were in a canoe
endeavorng to cross the river and were
drowned by the capsizing of their craft.
Miss Carrie was about twenty or twen-
ty-two years of age, and Miss Matte six
teen. The latter was subject to fainting
ing spells, and the supposition of their
sister Miss Gay Musselwhite, who is pu-
pill of Martha Washington College in Alb
ingdon, is that Miss Matte had in mid
river one of these fainting spells and pos
sibly fell overheard, which led to the
capsizing of the canoe and the drowning
of the party.
The two deceased ladies were sisters Of
Mrs. Chas. F. Palmer, nee Miss Sue Mus
selwhite, former pupil of Sullins Col
lege. Miss Gay took the morning train to
Saltyille.

This in brief is the experiece of Past

WHAT THE OLpsBeE HIVE OFFERS.

The proprietor of the Old Bee Hive cap
tured Free Press representative yester-
day afternoon and tried to teach him
something about dry goods. The impress
sion the unsophisticated male man would
gain from a trip through Mr.. Chamber
Inns store is that all his married male
friends ought to be warned not to let
their wives know about his new goods.
In the dress goods department Mr.. Bell
says he was never before able to offer
such variety of dress goods. Every
thing now runs to "changeable effects"
in novelty weaves as well as in silks. For
trimmings Persian bands and changeable
marabout headings are very popular in
colors. Many new designs in black jet
and silk trimmings are also shown for
thesfirst time.
In the lace department among the new
designs brought out this season are Ra-
gouse, Bourbon aud handmade Point de
Gene. The Point de Ireland also con-
tinues very desirable and the stock of
these has been largely increased.
In the cloak department the Free fress
man learned from Mr.. Reynolds that
"here are more than 1000 garments, and
each is made to our order from cloth,
patterns and sizes selected by us. We
control for this city the goods OF three OF
the best manufacturers in the country"
On being further questioned Mr.. Key
holds said that the styles now run to box
backs and Vatican plaits in three-quarter
lengths. One of the handsomest things
in stock are the fur-trimmed Franklin
coats. Russian blouse suits are some
thing new this season. Scotch mixtures,
tan, navy blue and black prevail. Many
handsome garments for infants and chill
dren are also shown.
The time when Burlington ladies had
to go to the city to get the latest designs
in dress goods and in cloaks has gone by:
The stock of the Old Bee Hive is claimed
by Mr.. Chamberlin to be the largest by far
between Troy and Montreal. He further
asserts that he does the largest retail dry
goods and cloak business of any house in
Vermont Burlington Free Press.
