the HTQce Is the Inc Lay OF lTInCc hu-
pert's Cavaliers"
Prince-With their ~trappings all a'jingle,
And their horses blood ~a'tingle,
Bright eyes glowing,
Ay. but showing
Love and loyalty through tears.
Golden kisses then they offered,
Silver iagons then they proffered.
For a single stirrup
Cup 10 cheer up
Then the bugles clear did ring.
And with gay farewells in chorus,
How those cavaliers before us
Galloped madly
Riding gladly
Forth to battle for their king.
Chorus-Bootsf and saddles, cavaliers!
Pistols, carabines.
Down with Cromwel's common
wealth.
Up with kings and queens,
As we ride. as we ride
With our sabres at our side,
All our faith is for our king,
AS love is for a bride.

Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, a young California
singer. who is soon to make a tour of this
1,,-t~ IT, - L-.-- A. -
range ever known. Christine Nilsson used
to drive her audiences into the seventh
heaven of enthusiasm by singing high f
sharp in Mozar.s Magic Flute" Miss
Yaw sings F sharp without an effort. and
sustains the note with the sweetest quality.
The highest vocal range of a singer recorded
by history was that of LucreZia AZugari. Mo-
Fart says that in ITO he heard this soprano
range from A below middle c to c above
the high G. 1t was a range of twenty-four
notes. AZugari could execute trills on the
high ID. Miss Yaw can sing lower than
Azugari and three notes higher. One of the
most singula things about her singing, in
deed the thing that has attracted the most
attention. is that a singer who possesses
such a high range should he able TO sing
in her lower register with the breadth of
a contralto. The scientific explanation of
this tremendous vocal altitude is that Miss
iaWs inferior thyrJarytenoid, or true vo-
cal cord, had made 2.04S vibrations each sec
ond.

EngIish's-"The Lost Paradise,
Theater-goers grow skeptical oftentimes
concerning the merits of plays heralded as
great productions" There need be no
fear that 1.-The Lost Paradise" will fail to
| meet all the expectations naturally aroused
by the use of that phrase in connection
with its engagement at English's Opera
House, the last half of this week. 1t is not
! only a great but a superb play-one of a
lifetime-and William Morris who, with
Eta Hawkins. is at the head of the COM
pany, is among Americas strongest actors.
Both Morris and Miss Hawkins will be seen
in the characters played by them in the
original New York production of this fine
play. There is something in The Lost
Paradise" so different from the general
run of plays and the situations are power
full almost beyond description. There is a
deep vein of human interest in the story
which commands the attention of all classes
of theater-goers. While the rights and
wrongs OF labor are dealt with, the dramat-
lst has not been unmindful of the fact that
the love story should be the main theme fol
his play. The second act concludes with one
OF the most impressive and stirring CHI
makes which has been presented in drama
Tor many a day. The scene occurs i'm an
iron foundry. The strikers are demanding
higher wages; they are almost starving
and an increase of pay is necessary tC
save them from absolute want. The EN-
ployer, whose whole soul is wrapped up in
his daughter, tells the men that the de
mand is impossible to meet. He takes hi.

in his arms and makes an appeal to Iii:

The play is fascinating and NAV be sal,
