MARY ANDERsoNs SINGING.

"During visit to Canada,
while resting in Toronto before
beginning a weeks engagement"
writes Mary Anderson de Navarro
in telling Of her Experiences OF
a Professional Tour" In February
Ladies' Home journal, 81 heard
grand opera for the first time.
My pleasure in the music was so
great that L had to be constantly
reminded not to rise and cry out
with enthusiasm. The operas
were Faust 'Trovstore,' (old
fashioned, yet ever fresh) and
Martha Brignoli in the leading
roles was admirable, though he
had, through growing obesity,
lost much of the grace which for
many years had made him such
an idol with women. His fresh,
beautiful and impassioned voice
soon swept one into forgetfulness
of his looks and inferior acting.
In those days 1 always took with
me an old friend in the shape OF
a guitar, upon which, as child,
1 had picked out, with much labor
a sufficient number of chords to
accompany a few favorite songs.
One day Brignoli passed our
rooms while 1 was singing The
Irish Immigrants Lament
He requested an introduction, and
tried to persuade me to start for
Milan at once for years training,
and then to become an opera
singer. Butt said I, Il am already
on the stage. 1 act Juliet Lady

tragic parts leave them all

voice you would have far more
distinguished success on the

CHICAGO, Feb. IA dispatch
from San Francisco says: Capt.
Erwin, of the university track
team, says Berkeley will join with
Yale and Princeton in forming a
great athletic alliance. A soon as
the alliance is formed, the athletes
of Berkeley will make plans to go

ship games scheduled for May. In
a few days a letter will be received
from the Yale-Princeton team
making a formal offer to the Cali
fornians to join in the games to be
played at New Haven in May.
Capt. Erwin says the correspond
ence up to date is such as to justify
this statement that the Berkley's

country in May.

There Is a movement on foot,
originating in Chicago, to test the
sentiment OF the American people
upon the settlement Of all ques-
tions that arise between the United
States and Great Britain by the
peaceful intervention OF a court of
international arbitration. The
press Of the country has been in
vited to bring the matter before
the people. The suggestion is that
meetings be called in every city on
Washington's birthday, and that
an expression be had as to this
matter, also as t. their ideas of war
as a means of settling national dis
putes. The views thus ascertained
will be arranged in form and the
results transmitted to the British
government and the United States
congress. Here is something that
the Business Mems club of this city
could we'll take a hand in. San
Antonio loves peace and the fruits
OF peace, and only asks honorable
in order to cast her vote
for arbitration as against war,
every time.

The good sense that habitually
characterizes the actions and words
of General Harrison are now OBJ
servable in his flat-footed refusal
to be considered a candidate be-
fore the approaching republican
convention. No one sees more
plainly than he the scramble Of all
the most obnoxious elements of the
party for recognition in the ma
tional convention, and he is only
true to his instincts when he re-
fuses to mix in the muss. He has
had all the honor that the presi-
dency can confer, and it would be
no gain to him to descend into the
arena for a fight out of which moth
ing could come.

wounded, many fatally; so houses
burned and 400 looted. About 100
girls were carried away, but all but

Whatever the result of the pres
ent mill at Ell Paso, there is little
doubt that it is the last prize fight
that will ever be engineered on
American soil. The difficulties in
the way of bringing off such a con-
test multiply as civilization gets
in its work and the humane idea
rises into the ascendant. There
will be little complaint over such a
result. Mexico also inclines to
adopt the American idea and to
close the ports of that country to
any ingress Of pugilists and their
aiders and abettors.
