SINGS CLASSIC MUSIC.
A Redskin Vocalist Soon TO Be
Heard Ia Opera,
SinetiSn, n shinnecOcI Indian, with n
Remarkable Voice OF Wide Range
and Great Power, Is "A Real
Musical Wonder.

The operate stage will gain, within
the course of year, character of un-
usual interest, as well as voice of
strange power. Emrald Sinetka, full
blooded Shinnecock Indian, is the am
bilious candidate for public honors.
He possesses voice of wide range and
exquisite quality.
Sinetka is now in Chicago, studying
classic roles. He means to perfect
himself in the intricacies Of higher and
nobler music. He came only recently
from New York city, where he had been
studying and singing in concert. AT the
advice of friends he ventured west to
be able to expand and grow in more
liberal and generous atmosphere.
That Sinetka has a voice is unques-
toned, says the Chicago Times-Herald.
From the time that he was ten Years
of age, when he first discovered its pos
sibilities, he has cared for nothing
else but song. He has dreamed of the
time when he could move people with
its sympathy and glow.
When a child he lived on Long Island,
far to the east end, where his mother
and father, both Shinnecock Indians,
lived on the reservation there, and en-
gagged in the industrious pursuits of
that peculiar civilized Indian tribe.
Oyster fishing and headwork were
their daily cares.
But young Emrald Sinetka would

was but existence to him. 1t was not
life. He used to wander Off into the
heavy pine woods, away into the heart
of the oak forest, and there, beyond
human earshot, he would let out his
voice until it echoed far and wide above
the tree tops, out across the sea, until
the birds were mute with surprise and
the very sky echoed back. He poured
out his soul, untutored, savage as il

with a magnetic personality that at
once wins confidence.
When Mr.. Sulloway first went to
Washington to take his seat among the
solons of his country he was both sur
prised and amused to find that he had
been heralded as the greatest living
salvationist." The facts were, when the
Salvation Army first invaded the little
town of Manchester, they met with con-
siderable opposition from the towns
people. Mr.. Sulloway considers it a mat
ter of principle to take the part of the
under dog in fight-consequently he
at once became the champion of the
little band. The opposition was bitter,
even leading to several arrests. Mr..
Sulloway saw that they were really do
ing much good, so, being a lawyer, he
volunteered his services, defended them
and in several instances paid the fines
imposed. The leader of the band then
invited him to their meetings. Amuse-
ments are not prolific in small country
towns, 80 Mr.. Sulioway accepted these
invitations at first as matter of curl
osity, afterwards as interest. Mean
while he became interested in another
direction and continued to attend the
meetings. There were several well
educated women among the salvation
lists, and Mr.. Sulloway soon found him
self in love with pair of bright eyes
cleaning from under the ugly poke bon
net. A marriage with the lassie fol-
lowed, which of course associated his
name more prominently with the army,
although neither of them has been
identified with it since the marriage.
Mr.. Sulloway as a lawyer enjoys the
most lucrative practice of any man in
his part of the state. His conversations
are bright, witty and full of vivacity
and anecdotes. He is generous, inn
pulsive and thoroughly sincere. Few
men enjoy greater popularity, either at
home or in Washington, than Cyrus A.
Sulloway.

was. That to him was life. And he
has never found any other.
One day, when he was not much over
ten years of age, when both his parents
Chad died, an itinerant circus came to
the town which lay nearest the reserva-
ton. The glitter, freedom and gayety
of the life attracted Sinetka, and he
Joined his fortune with the travelling
mountebanl1s. 1t was an adventurous
and a wise move on the part Of the
young Indian. They permitted him to
sing after a short period of instruction.
He sang before audiences that seemed
to him very, very large. His deep, nat
ural bass voice never failed to appeal
to them. Thus he made his first public
appearances.
That was fully II years ago, and
Sinetka has sung ever since. He &C
companied the circus after it left Long
Island and travelled all over the New
England and southern states.
Finally they reached Carlisle, Pa.
where the circus fingered for awhile
On quitting the town they left the
singer there at the Carlisle industrial
school.
Sinetka, true to his innate enthusi'
asm, was fascinated by the accounts
which people told of the wealth OF
learning and the progress which the
young Indians were gaining there.
But books and work benches and
tools were not for him. He retained
something in his blood of the old love
of freedom and the natural life. He
remained during two long, hard, Ia
borious years, until books became hate
full and instruction irritating. In all
that time he wanted to sing and could
not. There were limitations. Then he
left and he breatheo again.
After that he went back to Long Is
land and sang in different watering
places near New York. Then he joined
one concert company after another and
has toured over a greater part of the
country.
During the past five years he has been
engaged in study and church choir
work. He possesses a true artistic in
stinct, and cares to sing nothing except
purely classical and good music. This
is strange for a man of his race. His
favorite composer is Mozart whose
compositions he loves TO linger over for
real enjoyment and satisfaction.
Sinetka's voice is basso, with O
compass from lower c to b fiat. 1t has
been pronounced by teachers and crit
les to be a voice of fine quality, sweet,
ringing and true in its natural tones.
However, Sinetka realizes he must still
subject it to the mellowing touch of
training and advice to bring out its full
power.
But Sinetka has hope ana enthusi-
asm. He seems only to have just be-
gun. Seventeen years of hard jostling
about the world have not dulled his
ambition. ...

faith, and called her first chapel 'Provi-
dence Mission"
This was the first church edifice of
any kind built in Idaho. 1t was also
used as a schoolroom, and the money
for it's building was raised by Mrs.
Mitchell herself. Men, women and chill
dren contributed to it, aged women
knit and sold their handiwork that they
might give, and many widows mite
went into its erection. No man or wom-
an has a wider acquaintance in Idaho
than Mrs. Mitchell, and she has been in
more homes than any other person in
the state. She has been instrumental
in securing wise legislation, and in this
work she has become acquainted with
the leading men of the state. Through
her efforts the legal age of consent was
raised from 16 to IS years, also the bill
was passed submitting the amendment
granting the right of suffrage to wom-
en-.
She has made long stage trips over
dangerous roads, midwinter's storm
and summers heat, preaching in every
town, going long distances for funerals
and weddings, always ready when duty
called. She is not an ordained minister,
but always in her girlhood had desire
to study theology, in which she was not
encouraged. She is president of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
Of Idaho. Her children are grown, mar
ried and in homes of their own, SO her
life is free to work in the lines to
which she has been chosen.

Her father was sub-postmaster of the
village, and the district she covered
consisted of the scattered hamlets ly-
ing between Wick and Bitton, on the
borders of Gloucester. Her daily round
was IL miles in all weathers, and in
cluded many steep hills. Although the
district is sparsely populated, the old
lady said she had never been robbed,
stopped or molested in any way. Her
travels, apart from her daily vista
tons, have never extended beyond Bath
or Bristol, and since 1892 she has lived
alone, those related to her being too
poor to render her any assistance. Not
withstanding the hardships she has
undergone, old Hannah Brewer has en-
joyed good health during her term of
Office. Her absences from duty, she
said, had been very few indeed; and
now, at the advanced age of 70 years,
she has retired from the service of the
postmaster general on a small, but
well-deserved pension.

niue Eyes suffer Most.

1t has been observed that gray and
blue eyes are more likely to be seri-
ously affected by intense electric light
than brown eyes. In some of these
cases total blindness has resulted. Oc-
ulists ascribe the trouble to two
causes, the intensity of the light and
the action of the ultraviolet rays. 1t
is recommended that uranium glass,
which is yellow, or some other trans
parent substance that will intercept
ultraviolet rays, be interposedbe between
the eye and any powerful light.

They were long and luxuriant and fell

was shared in by his wife. To caress or

that, although ten years in existence,

The Last League Game Was Played In
San Antonio Yesterday Before the
Usual Small Crowd.

The last championship baseball
game of the season in San Antonio
was played at San Pedro park yes
terday afternoon in the presence Of a
very small crowd. 1t was the closing
Of the series with Dallas. The game
resulted in victory for the Bronchos
by score of IL to 5. George Gilpat-
rick pitched the first two innings for
San Antonio and in the second Dallas
touched him for six hits, netting them
four runs. Mike O'Connor then went
in to pitch and held Dallas down to
four hits, allowing only one Dallasite
to cross the plate the balance of the
afternoon. The Bronchos had no
trouble in solving kid Beckwith's
curves and found him for eighteen
hits, including doubles by Knau, Stan
ley, Fitzpatrick and a homerun by
Bailey. The BronchOs played an err
rorless game.

There We're expressions of regret all
over the city yesterday because San
Antonio will have no more baseball
this season. Some of the patrons even
remarked that if they had known the
situation was so serious they would
have turned out oftener. They adj
mitted, however, that they began to
lose interest in the games from the
fact that San Antonio had won the
first series and was sure to play for
the silver trophy. While some are
harsh enough to assert that the games
were being hippodromed, there are
others who are more reasonable.
They attribute the poor showing of
the team to the crippled condition of
the players, which is a misfortune
that can befall any team, and club
seldom passes a season without such
streaks of bad luck. Because several
players happen to be injured is no rea-
son that the management should stop
their salaries and sign new men in
their places. Allowances. must be
made for the financial strain upon the
management during these times of de-
preston, which was exemplified in the
games of the past few weeks at San
Pedro park. In the face of all this
the club has paid all the players up
to date and met all its obligations,
which is more than certain clubs of
the league can show.

The people of San Antonio have just
reason to be proud of the Bronchos of
1897. Their achievements have never
been equalled by any ball team that
has ever represented the Alamo City
The manner in which they won the

chos were envied by every team in

The Indians of the Shoshone reserya-

the Indians to repay it when they hsr-
