THE FIRST MARGUERITE.
Nine. Carvalho, Who Played That Part,
Describes "Faustlsn First NIGH.

Describes "Paust's" First Night.
Nine. Miolan Carvalho, who sang the
part of Marguerite when Gounod's
Faust" was first produced, gives
some interesting particulars about
the production. The rehearsals took
place under N. Carva1ho's di-
rection at the Theatre Lyrique OF the Boul-
evard du Temple and were very fatiguing.
Gounod had interspersed many splendid
bits of music through his work which had
to be cut out, notably duel between Mar
guerite and V8lentin during the Kermesse.
Another duet in the prison was also sacri-
feed. The rehearsals lasted from o'clock
in the evening until 2 o'clock in the morn
ing.
The project of police, however, inter-
fered and obliged the singers to quit at mid
night at the instance of the firemen, who
complained of the long hours. The censor
ship had also to be reckoned with, for it
was thought that the cathedral scene would
be objected to in in Rome. Monsignor de
Segur, however, attended the rehearsals
and said that he found the cathedral
scene superb. He also gave Nine. Miolan
Carvalho a beautifully bound massbook,
which she was to use in the church, and
she has the gift still.
The first representation, as Nine. Miolan
Carvalho reminds people, was not brilliant.
Gounod was regarded as an innovator and
the house was divided into two camps,
one for and the other against the com
poser.
Meyerbeer and Rossini were among adj
mirers OF the new work. but the maestro of
Pesaro afterward said that he preferred
Gounod's Proveneal composition, " Mi
reille." Faust" however, made its
way later, and does not need defenders
now.-Chicago Times.

Frigotherapeney.

Greece, freeze, thou bitter sky, Thon
dost not bite so nigh AS appetite for
got, will be an appropriate new reading
of the Shakespearean song, if Professor
Pictet proves himself right in regarding
extreme cold as an infallible recipe for
that best of all sauces-hunger. The
French scientist is said to be so confident
of the merits of his cold cure in all cases
of loss of appetite and dyspepsia that
he is positively starting freezing
chamber for the special benefit of
patients who suffer from these ailments.
Fortunately he does not require them to
enter the curative refrigerator in light at
tire. On the contrary, he allows them to
wrap themselves up as warmly as they like,
the benefit being derived entirely from
breathing the frozen air.
The idea seems to be after all but a prac-
teal development of a familiar idea,
for there can be no one who has not
experienced the action of crisp frosty
air as sharpener of the appetite. But
the effects of cold as remedy for dvs-
pepsia have not hitherto been SO well
recognized and Professor Pictet's 'sfrigo-
therapeucy," despite its awful name, NAV
prove boon and a blessing in these DAYS
of pancreatic pessimism. Pictorial.

AN ISLAND DESERTED.
EruptionS Cause Devastation
at Ambryn.
A new VOLCANO BREAKS OUT.
Streams of Lava Pour Down the Sides
of the Mountain.
VILLAGES And FARMS ARE RUINED.
Inhabitants Flee for Safety, Crops Are
Neglected and Many Natives in
Danger of Starvation.

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 1.-THE British
gunboat Kaurakat and surveyboat Dart
arrived at Sydney from the New Hebrides
Islands just before the Miowera sailed.
They bring the report that eruptions at
Ambryn Island continue internationally
and that the island is virtually deserted by
all the inhabitants.
A new volcano broke out early in De-
cember on mountain 1000 feet high, with
a crater 600 feet deep. Lava from it flowed
in an immense stream to the sea- fifteen
miles distant, devastating villages and
farms in its course, and where the molten
lava rushed into the sea great column of
steam assembled. The height of the latter,
as shown by the sextant on the Dart, was
1000 feet. The deck of the Dart, several
miles to sea, was covered with ashes. Crops
have been neglected, and it is feared that
many of the natives will starve. The losses
are immense.
Sometime prior to his death Robert
Louis Stevenson had several severe
hemorrhages, but when they were over he
seemed to rally from their effect. He was
in great spirits for time and seemed
pleased with the prospects of completing
his new books. 1t is believed in Samoa
that the brain attack would not have
killed him if his lungs had not failed.
Stevenson was known to the Samoans, by
whom he was deeply beloved, as "Tutitala,"
which signifies ''story teller"
A cable from Auckland to Sydney an

American pine.
There is an epidemic of Oriental beri-

Commits sion Question.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE Western lines
have finally reached an agreement on the
emigrant commission question and that
very troublesome obstacle has been re-
moved from the work of forming the asso-
clan to cover Western and transcontlnental
passenger business.
The agreement, which goes into effect on
January 90, provides that all roads shall
pay a commission of 10 per cent on each
ticket The Canadian Pacific has signed
the agreement, and every road is in 1t, with
the exception of the Grand Trunk. 1t IS
believed, however, that any action taken
by the Grand Trunk cannot upset the
agreement.
The general meeting of Western lines
adjourned after a short session and the
Atchison- Southern Pacific committee took
the balance of the day arguing on the
transcontinental rates. Late in the day
the committee reported progress, but
would not specify what the progress
comprised.
The Appropriated gross earnings OF the
Atchison system for the first week IN
January were 1868, 129, an increase of ST.
139 over the same week of 1894.

Compromise.
YANKToN, S. D., Jan. 14.-Information
received here from London regarding J. I.
NJ. Pierce's swindling transactions shows
that the aggregate of the British losses
may reach the stupendous sum of IS, 0oo, 600.
A letter from London firm of solicitors
says that not quarter of the fraudulent
transactions have yet come to light.
1t is stated that the receipts by
Pierce at his London office were
limited only by his ability to issue bonds,
mortgages and other papers, often exceed
ing 500, 900 week. And it is alleged in
London that he received no less than $780,
600 during his last week there.
1t is owing to his gigantic transactions
that his victims expect to receive an offer
of compromise after the matter shall have
cooled down.
To make these losses known would i'm
pair the credit of the losers, and also make
them an object of ridicule; therefore they
prefer to bear their losses in silence.
