\ Rich Ono on the Boston Lyrics
Prima Donna.
y good story has been going the
rounds for some time on the charming
prlma donna of the Boston Lyric Opera
company, which has never, singular to
say, yet got into print.
When Miss Stanton finished her
course at Leipsic. where she was ad-
vised to go by the entire faculty of the
Boston Conservatory OF Music TO come
plctc her studies. she went to London
and made her first public appearance ut
charity concert under the patronage
Of the Prince and Princess of Wales,
and directly after the performance she
was waited upon the eminent English
imprcssario D'Oyly Carte, who engaged
her for TWO years in London. At the
conclusion of this engagement she de-
termined 10 come home 10 America, and
win fresh !aurcls in her native country
Everything was arranged for her de-
parture. and on her arrival on board
the steamship she met, by singular CO.
incidence, the same captain of the vessel
she had gone to Europe ION some four
years previous. He was standing at the
salon door, and Miss Stanton APP
preached in most gracious greeting.
The captains face flushed when he
managed TO sy in Il manner somewhat
hesitatingly:
Il did not observe your ladyship's
name on the passenger list"
well, ! guess You will find the name
of Stanton there" replied the prma
donna, laughing.
They entered the salon together. the
captain making Inquiries of several no.
blcmcn whom Miss Stanton had met
during her London seasons, and finally
he asked If her state room was entirely
suitable; If not he would have IL
changed at once Everything was ali
right, and as he left. he gave q know
Ing look and said:
Il Will respect your !ncognito."
Miss Stanton was slightly puzzled at
TINS remark. but said nothing. Her
voyage was most pleasant one; there
was an attendant ever at her door, and
her slightest wish WIS 4 command She
sat Il, table in the seat OF honor at the
captains right. who could not do
enough for her entertainment. During
the voyage Miss Stanton sang in several
concerts given on board. There was a
noticeable air Of obsequiousness in the
manner Of treatment which she received
from tho passengers and servants,
which she could not comprehend
The last morning of the voyage, as the
vessel was entering the harbor OF New
York. she was leaning against the door
OF tho ladies cabin. when she overheard
three ladies' discussing her. One OF the
ladies said, Il think her lovely: no airs

Mr.. Campbell was born in West Fir-

bell was one OF a class that is becoming
fewer every year; the class OF great
newspaper editors; editors whose strong
personality filed every page OF their
papers, and impressed itself on the
mind OF every reader. Such editors
could lay down their dicta and have
readers accept them without question as
law and gospel, because they' believed In
the honesty and intellect and courage of
the man. Horace Greeley was such an
editor, and in smaller, but no less
honorable field, 4. W. Campbell was
another. Since his retirement from ac-

approached the position which he occu-

expressions of the high esteem in which
he was held By all classes, and to hun
dreds who knew and admired him, the
news came almost as personal be-
reavement.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been made. A telegram
was received by Mr.. John Frew, from
Richard C. Campbell son OF the de-
ceased. stating that he would accom-
pany the body to Wheeling. with Mrs.
Dawson. sister and Mrs. Nave. daugh-
ter OF the deceased. 1t was expected
that they would leave st. Louis last
night. Until their arrival the arrange
ments for the burial will not be made.
Last night the newspaper men OF the
city decided to hold meeting at the
rooms Of the chamber of commerce,
Hub building, this afternoon at five
o'clock, for the purpose Of taking action
appropriate TO the occasion. All WHO are
connected with the different depart

ore invited TO attend the meeting. At
this meeting suitable resolutions will be
passed and possibly arrangements will
be made 10 attend the funeral in body.

WILD CATS PETS.
Savage FeIines Replace Dogs In Es-
tinaatiOn of Modern Diana.


There is new woman in Neversink.
"a, whose favorite pet is wild cat in
stead OF the customary domestic feline.
FMS" new woman is Mrs Helen Link,
ana she is a famous hunter. She has
trained her wild cats to enjoy the scent
OF dogs, and they will point a bird or
scent rabbit, fox or woodchuck as well
as hunting canine. Wild cats have been
Mrs. Links favorite animal companions
for~feur years. At that time when out
hunting she discovered the trunk of
tree with large hole in It, Placing her
fingers on the bark edges to look inside,
they were suddenly bitten hard, forcing
the blood to the surface of the skin I'm
deferred however, by the pain, she en-
larged the opening with her hunting knife
and discovered two wild cat kittens ONLY
few weeks old. She caught up the
baby animals and carried them off to her
home, fortunately escaping the ferocious
parents. The kittens soon became tame
and followed their mistress around like
little dogs.
Joe and Nancy are the names of the
two wild cats. The former is black strip
ed in white, somewhat resembling tiger
Nancy is a tawny blonde, like miniature
lieness.- Both wild cats have long bushy
tails which switch about in a threatening
manner when strangers approach With
Mrs. Link, however, the wild cats are
harmless and affectionate, and the three
companions are never so happy as when
hunting on Neversink mountain.

NEWEST THING.
Which the Devoted Lover Must buy
for His Sweetheart.

for His Sweetheart.
The wall of the man. There is always
something being invented to coax the
money out of ones pocket is truly a
just one, when you come to seriously ex-
anime the many devices and fads which
are constantly being put in the market
with which to enhance beautiful woman S
charms.
The latest fad which has been invented,
and which every man who would hold
his sweetheart's affection must present
her with. is in one sense of the word not
a cheap one, though the original outlay
is not very great.
1t, is called flower charm, and is in
tended for chatelaine or Cyrano
chain, or it may be turned aside from it's
original purpose and made to do duty as
a photo frame and an ornament for my
lady's desk.
1t Is two round glass disks, concave and
convex, set in a silver or gold rim. A
tiny screw at the top loosens the frame
and the glass disks are moved. Between
these disks 1t Is the fad of the hour to
place two or three large double volets.
Now, the man who gives this little charm
to his sweetheart must keep 1t filled with
fresh violets. Should he allow them to
grow faded and withei ed then his love
is supposed to have grown cold.
One girl has very ingeniously converted
her charm into photograph frame and
the pretty little charm holds two photos.
one of herself and one of her ffance, and
1t hangs on cute little plush easel on
her escritoire.
Let it be used for its original purpose
or as a frame, the charm is the fad OF
the hour and they are selling them just
as fast as they can be manufactured
They are prettier hung on chateiaine
than dangling from long Cyrano chain
but they must always be supplied with
fresh flowers or their beauty and symbol
ism are lost.
