early part of the program had passed of
very satisfactorily and the film roll for a
picture os a platoon OF mounted police
had been thrown upon the screen when
the accident occurred The first picture
that Of a negro woman bathing her pic
aninny in tub OF soap suds, IS one Of
the best that the vitascope managers
showed lasl week during their remark
ably successful engagement in connec-
ton with the Ford repertoire company :
ali week appearance here II was given
as the first picture last night and could
not have been better shown than II was
Sanford'S orchestra gave some Of its a.
wayS-acceptable music before and after
the first picture was shown, and would
have been heard in several more numbers
had the exhibition been fully carried out
The responsibility for the accident IS
quite hard TO place, but i Is certain that
it was due 10 neither carelessness nor
neglect on the part of Mr.. Charles Mat
oElews. the manager, who felt more dis
appointed than any OF the audience at
the unfortunate termination of the exhi-
bition. AS nearly as could be ascer,ained
however, the accident was due &c an ir-
regularity in the supply Of the e.ectTis
current. Whether this was entirely the
fault OF the electric light company could
not be said, but the one fact is that the
accident was not caused by any defect in
the vitascope appara tus proper nor
through careleSsness in its operation.
The house was a good one. IN fact one OF
The largest that has assembled at the au-
ditorium during this theatrical season.
Before the audience left ii was an
nounced that the advertised matinee
would be given today and that in addi-
ton there would be an exhibition tonight
and the audience was supplied with tick
cts to be used at either performance.
There was unusual interest in the vita
scope exhibition owing 10 the fact that
the manager. Charlie Matthews, was for
merly of Wichita and has many friends
here, and il is hoped that last nights IN
fortunate but unavoidable accident will
not interfere with the success of his eX-
Additions today Of this wonderful device
ELLEN BEACH YAW.
Comparisons have often been made by
critics between the voices of the great
soprano soloists. but the fact remains
that the great authorities say that each
great soprano now before the public oc-
cnpies a place of her own and that their
voices can be justly compared IN but
one direction, that Of range. II is in
this direction that Ellen Beach Yaw.
who appears here at the Crawford next
Tuesday evening, is pre-eminent and IN
rivaled.
The accompanying illustration will
show how the range OF Miss Yaw's So

prano compares with that of two other
well known prima donnas.
AS will be seen, Christine Nilsson only
touched high F sharp, and Patti G. on
the fourth, while Ellen Beach Yaw's
voice reaches from CT below the treble
staff to z in the altissinco, a range OF
nearly four octaves.
Miss Yaw is now on one of the longest
concert tours that she has ever attempt
ed. She appeared at Denver last We'd
hesday evening and the following is
taken from an extended criticism in the
News of that city:
Miss Yaw has a great voice, but more
than that she is a great artist. The
voice nature gave her, but its cultivation
and the art with which she uses it. are
due to herself. Her voice is great i'm its
range, and in the surprising. mellow
richness Of its lower notes. so rarely
heard in distinctively soprano voice
IL is equally great in the birdlike quail
ity of its high notes. and in its beauti-
ful freshness, unmarried by one worn or
labored note. Miss Yaw sings as the
birds sing, without an apparent effort;
but she acts like a great dramatic artist
while she sings, her power in facial ex-
preston being almost as remark Bile as
her Vocalization. For her first encore
she sang Old Kentucky Home. and al
most al its first note tears began TO
stream down many a face in the audi
en2e. Her second encore was a rollick-
ing little French chanson. which set
every one smiling though they under
stood not a word. She was recalled
again after that and sang Comm Thro
the Rye in inimtable fashion. Her last
number. the Swiss Echo Song included
the call of the Swiss mountain girl
echoed fer off from the heights. and she
cid it so sweetly and family that one
was reminded of Du Maurler-s descrip-
ton OF his dying heroine's last vocaliza-
ton, when she used just the cream of
her voice. Mr.. Dick received as many
recalls as Miss YaW and excited as
much applause. Miss Lay is one of the
hneSt pianistS that has ever visited the
city"

The Sowing of seed.

The usual failure in getting seeds to
grow is from sowing them too deeply in
the earth. If it were possible to keep
the seeds dark and moist.A they would
be all the better from being sown alb
solutely on the surface. Every one IA
miliar with forest growth must have no.
ticed how forest tree seeds, which sim
ply fall to the earth and are covered by
the few leaves or the remains OF grasses,
terminate without difficulty.
In cherry trees, especially, the stones,
which have fallen from the tree, lying
on the surface all winter, sprout ana
grow rapidly when spring time comes,
and yet cherry seeds from the same
tree, collected by the seed sower sown
in the way in which seeds are usually
sown, frequently fail to grow. In order
to nave seeds as near the surface as
possible, and yet protected against dry
ing up, the great prince of American
practical gardenerS-the late Peter Hen
derson-reconmended for planting .vese-
table seeds, that the garden line should
first be stretched along in the direction
where the vegetables were to grow,
sprinkle the seeds along the line entire
III on the surface, and then simply tramp
them in the ground along the line.
In this way no garden seed ever tailed
to grow if it were good, and garden
seeds are generally good, for it has been
found that even old seed, II guarded
against extreme heat or moisture, will
continue to. preserve its vital power foT1 a
definite period. Still every purchaser de-
sires to get seed as fresh as possible. II
the suggestions given are borne in mind,
there win be very seldom complaints
about the failure of garden seeds to grow.
