dreamy faced Calve will probably receive
$50, 0)0 for her season in New York.
Contralto singers are paid considerably
less than sopranos. although finished
artists are much scarcer. Scalchi. who
will sing thisnyear, has received various
sums, ranging from $500 to $500 for an
operate performance. Nine. Marie
Brema, whose superb contralto last sea-
sor won golden praise for her, will also
sing this year. Her charge is about 5000.

Gus. Sne expects to make many enemies
in consequence.
Talking of her book she said: You
see, am sure to injure some vested in
terests by advising rather this method
than that, and Of course people will not
like it. I need not mention names, true,
but these will be spotted soon enough, and
then. of course, if my advice is taken,
there might be an end to certain theory
of voice production. But, after all,
have the interest Of my art more at heart
than private interest, and l have seen so

were more powerful charmers than the
artistic beauty of her voice. 1t was the
realism of her Carmen that made the
women turn cold shoulder toward her,
but If the men hat had their way she
would have queeLed it socially as we'll
az operaticelly.
What the financial inducement was that
brought the only Carmeni here again is
difficult to say. Two years ago ner fee
was 5000 performance. When this prlce
was made her wonderful drawing at
fractions were undreatned of, ana she
proved veritable gold mine. The same
year Melba was given $1,000 a perform
ance, whi lie Games and Nordica we're
both ranked financially above Calve,
receiving $7C0 each. 1t is very pro ba BILE
that Calve this year will receive $500 a
performance, and perhaps considerably
more. Patti has frequently been paid
as much as $4,000 for nights work, and
her minimum price for many years has
been $4,000. OF course Calve or any other
living vocalist cannot expect to COM
mand the sum paid to Patti.
There will be thirteen weeks OF opera
this season and Calve will appear at least
twice a week. As she is certain to be
the rage, she will have many opportuni-
ties Of increasing her earnings by singing
at the musicales of swelldom. All of the
great singers charge the same price for
singing in concert as they do in opera.

as delegate from that territory. In 1887
he secured the division of Wisconsin.
and the creation of Iowa territory July 4,
1883.
In the famous duel between Jonathan
Ciley of Maine and William ]. Graves OF
Kentucky. General Jones acted as tho
Siend of Cilley. Cilley was killed at the
third exchange of shots. Participation
In this affair cost General Jones his re-
election, 10 says, because the yankees"
all voted against him for favoirng duel
ing.
Alter his term OF senator General Jones
was sent to Bogota, as minister 10 the
United states of Colon bia, by President
Buchanan. He was recalled after three
years service by Secretary Seward, and.
sent to Fort Lafayette as prisoner OF
state for sending friendly letter to jeff
Davis. with whom he was associated in
the Black Hawk war and in congress.
There was no politics attached to con-
tests for election to congress from tho ter.
ritofies in the old days, General Jones
said yesterday. The fools didn't begin
to draw political line, until ls4o, and
there was no sense in their doing SO, be-
cause they had no vote in congress any
how.
Besides serving as second in a dozen or
so duels, preventing bloodshed IN seven
of them and three times being the friend
General Jones has had his own little
affair OF honor. 1t was over lemonade
and young ladies in a theater at st.
louis in 1887. Lieutenant Williams of
the army staIte' to pick up the glasses
that had been set down for General Jones
to carry to his fair one, and when the
general protested the lieutenant said he
was extremely impertincnt. General
Jones retorted in kind, and the next
day Williams emit IA challenge. "Knowink
. that l was dead shot, said General
Jones. he withdrew his challenge and
was compelled TO resign his mission
for SO doing"
Regarding politics General Jones said
that the Republicans will elect tho next
president beyond shadow of a doubt.
Cleveland" he said, has made fool
OF himself and has ruined the Democra
party. Thomas Jefferson esta blishe d
silver as the standard OF money, and
the Democratic party has stood by those
doctrines until Wall street banker has
turned about and broken up the party.
1t looks as if the Republicans were on
their legs for all time to come.

In his ninety-second year. General
Jones is still full of energy as In his
younger days. out is suffering from par
tal loss of sight. Otherwise he Is in per-
feet health and boasts of the fact that he
has not been sick in bed single day
of the twenty-four is all that he has ever
slept. He retires at 1890 and rises at s
in the morning. Early to bed and early
to rise has brought to him all the at
tributes attaching to the old saw except
that of wealth. Once the richest man in
Iowa, his only income to-day is pension
OF 500 per month voted to him by con-
gress for service as drummer boy in the
war of 1872.
General Jones likes to talk about the
old times. He graduated from Transyl-
vania university at Lexington, KY, In
1925. While in college his guardians were
Henry Clay and william T. Barry, who
was later postmaster general in jackson =
cabinet and afterward minister to Spain.
General Jones went from Ste: Genevieve,
Mo-, his boyhood home, in 184S, settling
at Sinsinawa Mound, six miles from the
present city of Dubuque. There he estab-
lished himself as a smelter, merchant and
miner. He made the first wagon tracks
in the present state of Iowa to Dubuque
in June, 1929, and at the same tims made
the first ferry across the Mississippi
river at Dubuque. Flo was aid-ds-camp
to General Henry Dodge in the Black
Hawk war, 'and succeeded General Dodge
as colonel OF militia after1the war. He was
appointed Chief justice of the territory by
Governor Porter and served few years.
In 1885 he was elected delegate to con-
gress ove~ two United States judges. ".

Identities in Fiction

Everyone knows the terrible bickerings
and heartburnines caused BY the efforts
of the njudicious-not to mention those
of the malignant-to fix the identity of
Leading characters in fiction with more
or less real originals. The exasperaiions
of Leigh Hunt whsn he discovered that
he had sat to Dickens for Harold Skim
pole and refused to be comforted by the
possibly true explanation that the
gentler and worthier side of the character
was IN portraiture of himself. IS a case
in point. Dickens and Ihaokeray both
TEEN with instances. though neither of
them tu the extent of Disraeli, who prob
ably cared less than either for the effect
OF his caustic sketches upon their SUBJ
jects. Very different from these cases is
that of Private McManus OF San Fran
cisco, who comes forward to claim iden-
tity with Mr.. Rudyard Kipling's cele.
brateu Terrence Mulvaney. Mr.. Kip
ling, however, who ought to know, and
is not even moved to acknowled gemen t
by Mr.. McManus' piquant description OF
him as "a plucky. inquisitive little fell
low in the civil service, who passed the
bottle among us privates. and then got
us to tell ali the yarns of the barrack
room," pets searching question to the
claimant as to ''how Dearsley came by

that in most cases the professors system
was the attack of the coup de gotte.. The
system is against the very nature Of the
art of singing. for, according to its
precepts, what happens is that the act
OF ph1onat, ;on begins 81 by sudden and
the vocal chords, instead of being
brought gradually from a state of relaxa-
tion up to the required degree OF tension,
are brought abruptly to maximum con-
dition of extension and approximation,

One of the curious features of the COM

mand. The latter cause IS the more
probable one.

Gould was never considered liberal

HER ROW WITH EMMA EAMES

When the great doors of the Metropoli-
tan opera house are thrown open on Mon
day evening, November 18th, for the first
night of grand opera, 1t will be the
officisl signal of the beginning of the
social season.
1t has always been the first night of
the year when the smart set puts on its
finest gowns, its most wonderful wraps
and its blazing jewels. Then begins
the social rivalry of tho dollar, maintain
ing the mad pace without stop or breath
ing place until Lent arrives. But aside
from the social features of the operatic
season, the latter OF itself promises to be
of exceeding interest.
Calve the divine will no the reigning
queen of the season. although that quick
tempered lady has no great love for the
New York society woman. Two years
ago when the season was over she asserted
that she would never again sing before
Gotham audience, or, more properly
speaking, sing in the same company
with Mrs. Story-Emma Eames.
Emma Eames triumphed last year, al
though ths managerial powers were ex-
erted to their utmost to induce the lovely
Calve 10 break her vow and sing with
the American songstress. Calves ulti-
matum, roughly speaking. was to dis
charge Emma Eames and then she would
sing. The management was opposed to
such drastic measures, even to secure
such wonderful drawing card as Calve,
30 the latter remained abroad during the
season of '94-95.
Calves victory this year is complete.
She IS in the company and Emma Eames
is out. The cause of it all is a pretty
piece Of feminine rivalry. OF late years
all of the great stars OF grand opera have
suffered from an am bition to shine in the
world of society.
Two years ago Ca!ve could not UNDER
stand why Emma Eames should be bid
left to the solitude of her hotel. The
seeming neglect set her TO thinking, and
she decided that her musical rival hau
carried the professional war into private
life. That was enough for the hot-headed
Calve. Then when Emma Eames gave
Q reception to ner society friends at the
Waldorf, and failed to send an invitation
to Calve, there was no longer any con-
cealment of the war. Both Melba and
Nordica were drawn into it, and even
con suffered in the general upheaval.
indifferent to Calve, the men raved over
her. Her Carmen nights drew the great
est crowds OF the year. and 1t promises
to DO the same this season. Her coquet-
tlsh witchery and her sinuous acting
