LILLIAN BLAUVELT
APPEARS IN DIVORCE
The Well Known Vocalist Joins Fargo s
Famous Colony.
SHE WANTS TO BE SINGLE AGAIN
After Several Years OF Married Life
She Seeks 1cvcratiOu from Mr..
Royal >. Smith Who sias Proved to
be Uncongenial.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 2S.-The local d.
vorce colony has been swelled by the
arrival Of nearly a dozen women from
New York. Among them was Mile.
Lillian Blauvelt, the noted concert
singer of New York. She was Brook
lyn girl. In private life she is Mrs.
Royal Smith and has been married sew
eral years. She is accompanied by her
aunt and seeks divorce on grounds OF
uncongeniality.
New York, Oct. 2S-The news that
Lillian Blauvelt had gone to Fargo, N.
OAK, for the purpose of securing a
divorce from her husband, Royal S.
Smith, caused a general surprise in
musical and theatrical circles here. 1t
was understood that Mile. Blauvelt was
in Europe. Intimate friends OF the
singer and her husband said today that
they had always imagined the couple
to be most devoted to each other.
Lillian Blauevelt was born in Brook
lyn. She studied to be a violinist, and
when proficient became a pupil of the
National Conservatory of Music on
East Seventeenth street. where she
took vocal lessons under Professor
Bouhy and Nine. Fursch Madi. 1t was
at this Conservatory Of Music that she
met her husband, who was also a pupil
there. After studying at the conserva-
tory Tor several years, Miss BIauVelt
left for Paris, and studied under Pro-
fessor Bouhy, who had left this coun-
try and opened a school in that city.
Miss Blauvelt returned to this country
about four years ago and made her de-
but at one of Seidl's concerts in this
city. Her voice was of a high soprano
order. and she scored an immediate
success as concert singer. Since that
time her services have been in great
demand with the prominent musical So
cieties and leading concert directors.
Several years ago she married Royal
S. Smith. Her marriage did not in any
way interfere with her professional en-
gasements. She became quite i'll early
last spring and sailed or gave out that
she WAS about to sail for Europe in
search Of health, instead Of that her
friends believe she went to the Far
West and has been there ever since.
Previous to her illness Miss Blauvelt
signed q contract with the late Henry
r. Abbey to make her debut in opera
cOmique, which Mr. Abbey intended to
run this season, at his theater. The
failure OF the Abbey firm later on, how
ever, broke the contract. Miss Blau-
welt has cancelled all her engagements
for this year, and will not be seen on
the concert stage until next fall.
Royal s. Smith, the husband of Miss
Blauvelt. is baritone singer and
teacher, with studio and Office in the
Carnegie hall building. At present he
Is out Of town.

BECK IS OFFENSIVE.
Congressman is After the Scalp Of

Allentown. Pa. Oct. 2S.-EX-Con-
gresham Sowden today sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Mr.. Cleveland:
Hon. Grover Cleveland, Executive Man.
sion, Washington, ID. c.
Dear Sir: District Attorney Beck, CT
Philadelphia, made an offensive partisan
speech here last night in which he as
sailed the regular Democrats, who support
Messrs. Bryan and Sewall. the regular
nominees of the party and those support
ers made your election possible in 1892.
and without which Mr.. Beck would not
occupy his present lucrative position.
Among the offensive things he said:
We will end this fallacy Of lungs. lun-
acy and larceny on next Tuesday" He
seems to be an offensive partisan of the
worst kind and by such utterances gave
offence to more than nine-tenths of all
the loyal and faithful Democrats here
AS an officer of the law, he certainly shows
bad taste. and demonstrates his unfi itness
to uphold law and order, however able he
may otherwise be to I'LL his high office.
You removed several of these officers in
the department of justice for much less
offensiveness, notably, District Attorney
Henry d. Clayton, of Alabama, for only
being n candidate for congress on the
regular Democratic ticket In his state.
The civil service rules ought to operate
on all alike. Respectfully.
William II. Sowden.
