why he should not be allowed to leave
the barge office. His card bore the in
scription, "Not money enough" but he
thought he had something as good as
money besides the cash he had shown.

his suit and his boots spick and span,
his manner full Of dignity and method.

Why We Have More Women Vocalist
Than Men.

Why We Have More Women Vocalists
Than Men.
In preparing list of American con-
cert singers it was curious to note that
the number of tenors just exactly equal
cd the combined number of baritones
aid baSses. 1t is probably true that
there are just about two cultivated ten
ors to each baritone or bass There are
similarly about twice as many sopranos
as there are mez2o sopranos or contral-
tos, and there are probably two trained
sopranos to every tenor.
The reasons fer these ratios are prob
ably these: A higher voice, being the
more unusual, attracts to its owner the
more attention. The natural tenor and
soprano are accordingly encouraged to
cultivate what may, after all, be only
a mediocre ability. The mezzo soprano
or baritone, however, is thought OF as
only an ordinary mortal, and a voice OF
the utmost possibilities may be left to
waste it's fragrance in tho dark, unfath-
omed caves of it's owners thorax.

So much for the disproportion of high
and low professional singing. The fact
that more women than men study song
is doubtless to be accounted for by the
superstition that floprishes in many dis

books is a more manly cs,roer than sing
ing. This public creed keeps many q
man from developing the sold mine in
his larylix. Besides, there is, especially
in America, a sentiment that man
should not depend On his father after
he has reached his majority.
1t is q wholesome sentiment on some
accounts, pernicious sentiment on 9TH
ers, but many a father will set his son
up in business with sum of money
which if devoted to paying his artistic

An Experiment Which Made Matters
Worse Than They Had Been.

Worse Than They Had Been.
A story, the truth Of which is vouch-
ed for in high quarters, is told concern
ing the manners of the political mem
bers Of a small country renowned for it's
ancient courage. The prime minister
gave reception to meet some distin-
guished Englishmen The assemblage
consisted solely CT the strangers, the
members of the parliament and the
prime minister. During the course Of
the evening one Of the more distinguish.
ed of the English guests discovered that
his watch had been taken. He went to
his host and informed him of his loss,
adding that ne esrccially priced the
watch, as 1t was {. resent to him from
the king Of the country whose guest he
had the honor to be at that moment.
The prime miniG1er saw at once that
there was only ca thing to be done,
and, asking for nee, explained the
situation to the e my He said that
no doubt some one had yielded to the
temptation OF the moment, but that
when they learned that the missing ar
ticle was the gift CT their king he was
sure their loyalty, if nothing else, would
prompt them to restore it to its owner.
In order that the crlprit's honor might
be preserved and the country saved from
scandal, he said, the lights would be
lowered for five minutes and the guests
would defile past the writing table,
which would give an opportunity for
the delinquent to place the watch there.
Upon this the room was darkened for
the stipulated time. On the lights being
turned up it was found that the watch
had not been placed on the writing Ia

BLUFF WOULDN'T WORK.
Blind Applicant for Relief Possessed
Some Money.

A blind man tried a game of bluff
yesterday with Mrs. Duggan, the AS
sociated Charities agent, and came out
second best.
He said he was Thomas Mcintyre
and resided in Syracuse, when he ap-
piled for help yesterday. He was well
dressed and was piloted by a young
boy. He wanted transportation to
Syracuse.
The Associated Charities agent told
him that inasmuch as he had a little
money, was we'll and strong and had
a quantity of pencils left for sale. that
he could earn his own way. She said
aid would not be denied him if he were
in need. Mcintyre resented this dis
position of his case. He dismissed the
boy who was leading him and seated
himself with the expressed purpose of
camping out in the agents office until
her heart softened or until she changed
her mind.
When o'clock came the blind appli-
cant for aid was still seated in the
office. When told it was time to close
the place, he requested the services Of
a new boy and was piloted to the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western depot,
where he purchased a ticket for Syra-
cuse. Among McIntyre's possessions
was a permit signed by Mayor James
K. Mcclure, of Syracuse, granting per-
mission to SLEEPY Tom" to sell lead
pencils on the streets of that city.
While in the Associated Charities
Office Mcintyre was several times Of
fered the privileges of the Hillside
Home, but he said he wouldn't go to
the poor house without being carried
there.
