only noble pride, since it can melt
into tender, truthful smile at every
little touch of feeling. Her voice is
cleared of the film that had begun to
obscure it when she sang here before
and is now brilliant, clear and at times
even strangely sweet. There is a new,
penetrant pathos about it when she
sings Z simple song which goes straight
to the heart. On the other hand, she
has broadened immensely on the dra-
matte side Of her art and sings with
nobly increased volume and freedom
But the little, new, poignant note, which
yet has tender bloom-whence has it
come? Not from any personal sorrow.
Perhaps from the closer watching of
others sorrows, for Eames is the hap
piest prima donna on earth.

EMPEROR ON DUELS.
Williams Wish is That They Should
be Prevented.

London, Jan. 6.-The Times says the
following is contained in the preamble
by Emperor William to a cabinet.
TT is my will that duels between Off
GERS should be more effectively prevent
ed than hitherto. Their occasion is Oft
in trif1ing and amenable to friendly
compromise without prejudice to pro-
fessional honor"
After exhorting officers in the army
to avoid injuring each others honor,
Emperor William continues:
Where they have done so through
haStinesS, the chivalrOus course is to
agree to a friendly compromise. It is
equally the duty of the one insulted to
accept the compromise as far as honor
and propriety of conduct will admit.
My will, therefore, is that a council
of honor shall henceforth as a matter
of principle, cooperate in the settle
ment of affairs of honor. The council
must undertake this duty with a con-
scientious endeavor to arrange an ami
ga bile SattInnpnt,'

WEYLER SURPRISED.
Can't Understand Opposition to Him
as His Conscience is Clear.

Madrid, Jan. 6.-The correspondent at
Havana of the Impartial of this city
cables he has had an interview with Capt.
Gen. Weyler in which the general eX-
pressed surprise at the newspaper cam
paign in Spain against him General
Weyler did not deny the existence OF
abuses. but said that his conscience was
clear and at the proper time he would
show what he had done.
General Weyler also expressed the
greatest satisfaction at the progress OF
the campaign in Pinar del Rio province,
which. he asserted was far pacified
that he would withdraw the greater part
of the troops from that part of the island
for use in the imminent operations in the
province of Havana and Matanzas and
far the military line of Puerto Prin-
cpe.
Continuing, Captain General Weyler is
quoted as saying he expected to finish
crushing the insurrection in Havana
province within a fortnight.
He further stated that he was inclined
to conduct ceaSelesS operations until he
had achieved his object, as the conditions
prevailing were promising
In conclusion the captain general said
his views the political aspect of at
fairs We're unchanged. He still believed a
military action in Cuba ought to be al
lowed to take free course until the end
and he did not consider that any reform
movements were at present necessary

The men of brains sprinkled through

NEW USE FOR RAYS.
French Physician Makes a Diagnosis
of Lung Disease.

New York, Jan. CDR. S. Millington
Miller of this city has received an ac-
count from Paris of a successful dag
nosis of pleurisy by means of the Roent-
gen ray. The account says that at
meeting of the French Academy of Sci
ences December 81, Prof. Charles Bou-
chard of Hospital de Ia Charlie, de-
scribed his diagnosis of pleurisy by the
Roentgen ray.
If the chest (thorax) of man in good
health be placed between CfoOkes
tube and a phosphcrescent screen, the
skeleton of the thorax appears on this
screen in the form of a vertical dark
band with parallel edges, with less dark
oblique bands on each side, which rep
resent the ribs. In addition, on the
right side of the vertical column, at
about the middle of the dOrsal region,
there is a shadow produced by the
heart, in which pulsatiOns may be per-.
ceived. Lastly, the shadow produced
by the liver, which is convex above,
rises and sinks in the thoracic cavity
with the respiratory movements Apart
from these shadows, all the rest of the
thorax appears in white on both sides.
The dividing mem brane between the
heart and lungs, masked by the verti-
cal column, does not show.
In thirty patients suffering from right
pleurisy with effusion he found that the
side of the thOrax occupied by the pleu-
raj liquid presented a dark tint in sharp
contrast with the light color of the
healthy side; that if the effusion did
not fill up the entire cavity, the apex
of this side was light, the dark tint an
swering exactly to the upper limit of
the effusion, as determined by percus-
sion and other means of physical exam
nation; that this tint gets darker and
darker in proportion as one proceeds
from the upper limit, where the effusion
is thinnest, toward the lower strata,
where it is thicker, the dark tint mix
ing with that of the liver
These conclusions throw an entirely
new light on the possible uses of the
new ray.

New York, jan 4,-The opera sea
gon at the Metropolitan is we'll under
way, but never since the huge temple
at Thirty ninth street and Broadway
reared its head have audiences SO frigid
convened within its walls. New York
is stated with the best singers the world
can afford, and it seems this season as
though it had made up it's mind to give
about one tepid clap per week, and that
only when some com bination of stars
ranged to the footlights and clamored
as with one voice for recognition. The
zenith with Patti has ebbed out, and
there is left hardly enough polite ap-
proval to keep the artists on their met
tie. They feel it.
Yet they sing superbly, and no more
perfect company has been gathered to-
gether than the present, all but for Nor
dica-poor Nordica-who is banished
for sake of Nine. Felia Litvinne, the
sister-in-l law of Edouard de Reszke, and
who spoke with such simple dignity to
the public press ON the deprival of her
hard won territory. She had worked
hard to score her triumphs Gin my own
