Two Kinds OF Fish.

"You must be on your good be-
havior this evening, George, for the
minister is to take dinner with U.s."
said Hyattsville lady to her worser
half, as he got home from his office in
the city last Thursday.
what have you for dinner?" quer-
led the husband.
aWell, 1 know he is fond of fish, 30
I bought quite string of small river
fish and several larger ones from the
DAM"
aI'm not much at doing the honors
when we have minister at the table, /"
said George; @but 1 guess we can get
through with it all right"
Half an hour later they we're seated
at the table and blessing had been
asked by the minister. A little ner-
vously the head of the house began
dishing out the vegetables, and, turn
ing to the guest, said:
will you have some of the little
river nSn or would you prefer some OF
the dam big fish?"
The warning kick from under the
table from his wife was unnecessary
He knew he had hundred, and cold
beads of perspiration started out on
his forehead.
Il mear"-tryirs to repair the error
twill you try some of the dam river
fish or some Of the big fish?"
Worse and more or it! His daugh,
ter slyly pulled his coat tail to bring
hun to his senses.
"That is, would you like some OF the
river fish or some of the other dam
fish,"
The deep carnation spreading over
the good lady's face, he plunged once
more:
@Ahem! Which of the dam fish dc
you prefer anyhow?"-Philadelphi

ELLEN BEACH YAw. SOPRANO.
Famous Young Singer who VIII Soon
He Heard Here.

Famous Young Singer Who VIII Soon
He Heard Here.
Once in a while nature. aided by art,
creates a voice whose qualities place fame
at its owners command. Such a voice is
that OF Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, who will
shortly be heard in this city.
This gifted young Californian has, 1t may
be said. actually ieaped into fame. From
being an unknown and unheard of quantity
she became in an incredibly short time a
subject for honest and lavish praise from
the critics.
Her voice. 4 soprano, is undoubtedly one
OF the most rcma rkable in history having
range of nearly four octares from G
below the staff, TO E in the altissimo.
With this wonderful register 1t is beautiful
In tone and breadth in the lower and
medium registers.
Miss Yaw has been heard in Washington
before. Those who had the good fortune
to hear her will remember the precision
with which she takes each note, effortless,
clear, and with that sweetness and rondeur
which nature oniy gives and art completes.
When Miss Yaw wfirstsang privately before
the critics in New York, they were anna zed,
and from that time she has been winning
fresh laureis.
Her method has evoked as much comment
as the wonderful altitude and lyric sweet
ness of her voice. 1t is faultless. Her
tones are produced without the slightest
physical effort. Her cadenZas are asjoulu-
ing. The most intent observer will not
discover the slightest breath movement.
so perfectly does this wonderful organ
produce its Fascinating strains
The early stages other culture were under
the tuition of Nine. Bjorksten, in New
York, who later accompanied her pupil
to Paris, and placed her under the instruc-
tion OF the famous Dele Sedie and BaX.
From time to time the whispers in Partisan
studios about the fair American marvel"
found an echo In the French press, and the
Paris Galignani was particularly enthu-
siastic in her praise.
