I A LOVELY TRIO.
Played at the Carr=Beel
Popular Concert.
Tschaikowsky's Opus SO Repeated
by Responsibilities Regina New
man the Vocalist.

Considering the state of the weather yes
terday afternoon there was an excellent at
tendance at the Carr Beel pop. AS usual the
audience was highly appreciative and crit
ical one. Indeed, the respect due to good
music is perhaps nowhere in this city
observed so thoroughly by the hearers as
at these concerts, the thirty.ninth of which
took place yesterday.
Schuberfs String Quartet, in A minor,
op. 29, was played in the Saturday Popu-
lar Quarters usual finished style. In the
last two movements. however, a. a. Solo
man, the new second violin, who acquii-
ted himself so well at the last concert,
played note here and there that was a
shade out of tune. The first allegro was
beyond Ieproech, and the andante, to the
theme of which Schubert seems to have
been so partial, was also delightfully."- rem
dered. OF course the shading aud the
expression of ali the movements were of
a delicate and artistic order.
Miss Regina Newman, who sang four
songs consecutiVely, was a distinct ad-
vance upon the vocallSis that have been
heard lately at the pops. She possesses a
pleasing meZzo-Soprano voice. of sufficient
power TO fill Golden Gate Hall. Unfor-
tunately her upper and middle notes are
maITed by a tremclo which if not checked
viii make inroads into her voice, but the
N amer i'll which she produces her lower
tones is worthy of all respect. 1t is legiti-
mate singing and notVentril0QuiZng. The
"Ritournelle" was a little low IN general
pitch for her, but it showed the good pro-
duction Of her lower tones. Miss Newman
also sang with considerable artistic finish,
though 1t was hard to tell what language
she was using. Her German was better
than her English. The young singer Sc
cured a warm encore.
Louis Heine's cello solos, which were
played in his usual sympathetic style,
brought down the house. The GODDARD
"Adagio" was little tedious for the work
of the brilliant French composer, but the
''Scherzo," by Klengel. was " hat captured
the people. IN spite of the vociferous de-
mand for an encore, Louis Heine, no doubt
wisely, resisted one.
The artistic treat of the afternoon was
Tschaikowsky's beautiful trio for piano
and strings, op. 90, which was played by
Mrs. Carr and Messrs. Beel and Heine.
This work had been gwen last season and
was repeated by special request. All the
performers entered into the spirit Of the
trio ''con amore," and a highly finished
and brilliant end ing was the result.

French journals. Mrs. Gal, a rich Ameri-

About year ago the German newspa-
pers. speaking of a reception held by the
EMPRESS, said that her Imperial Majesty
wore a magni6ce cept diamond with which
Napoleon formerly ornamented his hat
and which the Prussian hussars bad found
at Waterloo in the berlin of the Emperor
of the French. Being, as usual, aues-
toned with regard to the authenticity
of this diamond, Germain Bapst replied
that II was true the Fifteenth Prus-
sian Fusileers, commanded by Gneisenau
in person, captured during the night of
June Is, 1915, the travelling carriage of
| Napoleon |. But there was no diamond
/ IN 1t. Napoleon never wore a diamond

nevertheless, fact that Napoleon wore in

diamond. which was preserved till 1887,
when II was disposed of by auction among
the other crown jewels of France. Il was
purchased by Nine. Schneider. the wife oi

WERE MARIE ANTOlNETTE'S
Historical Diamonds Offered to the
Queen of England.

Dia monds, the most brilliant and most
durable Of precious stones, have often
history dating back many centuries,
When such is the case the value of the
stones is immeasurably increased. 1t is.
therefore. not astonishing that false le-
gends should be Invented with the object
of passing of 0ne diamond for another
which may have a history attached TO it,
1t will be remembered That recently the
Queen Of England was offered two
pendants which. il was said. had be-
longed 10 Marie Ant0inette. The stones
were of the finest water, but they derived
their principal value from their historical
association. GERMAN Bapst. the author
of the ''Histoire des JOyauX de la Cour-
onne de France" a classic work on tn at
subject, having been consulted on the his
torical authenticity of these two brlliants,
was able 10 reply by giving the exact
drawing and the weight of the stones in
question, which Louis XVI gave to Marie
Antoinette on his accession to the throne.
The historian added: "Marie Antoinette
was not fond of jewels. and she never had
another pair of diamond earrings" The
brillians offered TO her majesty answer in
every respect the description given by NJ.
Bapst, who Vouches for their historical
origin. He adds that Marie Antoine te
must doubtless. during the revolution,
have confded them to some faithful friend
with the object of selling them, but nOth-
ing positive is known on that point. All
the documents concerning the jewels be-
longing TO the unfortuDa ate Queen were in
1915 taken from the national archives and
destroyed.
If in this case the diamonds in question
are really historical it has often happened
that other precious stones have been passed
off as having a history when in reality they
had none. On the occasion of the sale Of the
crown diamonds in France the administra-
tion itself made blunders concerning the
history of some of the stones il sold at auc-
ti0n. For instance, it described superb
diamond as the mirror OF Portugal" Now
the real mirror of Portugal" once belonged
to the crown OF England. 1t is beautiful
stone, which had been the properly of the
kings of Portugal in the time of their splen-
dor. AT the end of the sixteenth century
the pretender Don Antonio gave it In
pledge to Queen Elizabeth. and it remained
among the jewels of the English crown till
the death of Charles l. when Queen Hen
rietta OF france, seeking support on the
Continent, took 1t with her. Being short
oil money and psrsecuted by her credi-
tors, she sold 1t to Cardinal Mazarin.
who, by will, left it to the
crown of France. 1t was stolen during the
revolution and has never been heard of
since. The stone which was put up ior
auction as that historical diamond had In

He Hardly Thinks Republicans Will
Control the Next House.

New YORK, Aug. 24.--Chairman Joseph
II. Manley OF the Republican national
executive committee was INF town We'd
nesday on his way 10 Maine, where, as
chairman OF the Republican State COM
mittee, he will direct the coming cam
paign, which ends In September.
81 shall not be in New York again" Mr..
Manley said to q Press reporter, "untii
after our State election, which takes place
on the 10th OF September. While there is
no doubt about The rcsult-the Republi-
cans will sweep the State-we are anxious
to make the verdict as emphatic as possi-
ble."
Maine will be the first Northern State
10 hold an election since the passage OF
the mongrel tariff bill. Speaking of the
general political outlook Mr.. Manley
said:
81 do not share the opinion of some en-
thusiastic Repu blicans that we will elect
an overwhelming majority of the next
House. l should like to think so, but
there is nothing to be gained by deceiv-
Ing ourselves. Frankly, in my judgment
the odds are decidedly against our get
ting control Of the House. 1t will take q
political revolution. We may have one,
but IL will not be safe to bank on 1t.
"The Democrats have 126 solid Demo-
cratic districts in the South, and that
gives them a tremendous advantage. No
matter how the votes are cast they are
counted that way, so that we have to give
the Democrats 128 and then try to beat
them on the other 230. am not saying
these things to discourage Republicans,
but simply to Impress upon them the i'm
portance of going to work.
"The Populist party is an uncertain ele-
ment No one knows or can foretell how
much OF a figure II will cut. II would not
surprise me il the Populists held the bal
apce OF po" IN the next House. That
would be a do orable situation, but, In
my opinion, --4I is what is likely to
happen"
"What about Mr.. Reeds Presidential
prospects ?" Mr.. Manley was asked.
"We are not discussing Presidential
candidates in Maine just now"
After the November elections Mr.. Man
ley said the Republican National Com
mttee would hold meeting In this city
and arrange for establishing permanent
Republican headquarters.
"Do you look for any immediate revival
OF business?"
"No. can see no prospect of it," said
Mr.. Manley. ut is mistake to suppose
that the tariff question has been disposed
OF by the present legislation"
