er with the nervous strain of her
trial, were too much for the sensitive
and proud spirit OF Miss Farrell. Her
reason gave way and she was taken
to the Mendoza hospital for insane.
She recovered in time and was dis
charged. She opened dressmaking
shop in Madison which she carried on
successfully for several years.
Her marriage to Howard, who
proved to be scoundrel, embittered
the last years OF her life. Her last
visit to relatives in this vicinity was
about one and one-half years ago.
The stormy life OF Miss Farrell is a
striking example of how easily the
peaceful flow of a quiet life may
become a raging torrent and how
relentlessly the demon, Misfortune,
pursues his victim when once it
comes within his power.

certainly an erroneous one. Every
man is expected to do a certain amount
of class work and if that work is not
up to the required standard he is not
allowed to compete in any of the ath-
letic events. The famous Henry
Coehems was one of the most brilliant
men who ever attended the university.
Pat O'Dea. whose wonderful right leg
has helped to win so many victories
for Wisconsin. does good work in all
his classes. The same might be said
of Holmes, the Chamberlain boys and
others who are not so famous.
In this connection we may say too
that it is mistake to think that no
one but aristoerats and dudes attend
the university. The fact is. this class
eomposes a very small minority of
the students. The man that is really
type of the great majority of stu
dents is one who is industrious, has
good common sense and is trying to
get all he can out of the institution.
There is spirit of democracy pervad-
ing the whole university and stu
dents success and promotion along
intellectual lines are not dependent
on his fathers cash or a royal anees-
try but on the amount of brains and
ability he possesses. We speak of
these matters because the people in
some sections of the state are laboring
under a delusion ana the sooner they
are rightly informed on the real state
of things the better it will be for the
university and prospective students.
Every year about fifty young people
many of them bright and promis-
ing dismissed by the faculty be-
cause they are not able to or do not
do the required work. The failure in
the majority of cases is due to the
fact that they came to the university
feeling that there would be but little
work and one grand round of ENJOY
ment.
We understand that there are sew
eral Grant county boys taking the
agricultural and dairy courses, but
we have not been able to learn their
names.

CONCERNING THE LETTER ar"
Miss Won MitzIaR Gives Expert Tes-
timOny to Its Importance.

Correspondence Springfield Republican.
In the Sunday edition of this paper the
essay of w. d. Howells on the letter r
found ready echo with me. 1 beg your
permission to give it public utterance. The
disregard and more or less practical omis-
slon-not merely by the American people
of this section in general, but by singers,
choral unions and church choirs in special
of this most foTceful and liquid of AL the
consonants caused me when first 1 "a me
to this country, twelve years ago, and up
to the present day, a keen sensation of
tonal discomfort and uneasihess. l 20 t
this omission like a general incapacity IN
the conception and descernment for the
truly beautiful i'm vocal art. In listening
to great singers, actors, actresses as we'll
as orators, their perfect command over
their voice organs, which again control
the entire range of vocal beauty, hidden
TO the uninitiated. an civilized language
be this French, English, German or any
other one, this perfect mastery contributes
to a great degree the secret charm of our
delight in their art.
The letter r is without reserve the very
backbone for vocal and dramatic impress
siveness 1t should always be given that
liquid, well-defned sound which not only
fortifies the word in which it is placed,
but also reaches the ear OF the hearer,
without Earring it. When the tip of the
tongue Is not stiffened it then win be aide
to give to the r as used in vocal, elocu-
tionary and dramatic art, a mellow and
distinct sound, avoiding the CULTURAL and
snarling one; which is obnoxious and I'M
esthetic. My surprise and discom fort was
great when in the position of s,)lo con-
tralto i'm st. Thomas Church in New York
city, l was confronted by members of the
large choir to hea them pou' out thei'
heats in song Iauding the Lo'd and l,rais-
ing him that he had head ther praye'
sometimes they would sing about tea S
and numbe'less wonde's that a. pefo'nied
As Mr.. Howells keenly says, il is aim ost
useless to point out such fragrant de f.
cheney and Negligence of enuncia1ion; they
have ears but hear not, and by habtuaI
omission become so accustomed to this &c
iciency that they declare it to be right
and believe it good.
In the vocal department of Smith Col
lege. which for six years was under nv
charge. had opportunity among the many
pupils that came under my training to in
sist on and enforce the proper, legitimate
and indispensable use of the letter r in
singing, whenever 1t was printed in Eng
fish, German, French or Italian imagine
these three last languages without the r!
Anyone acquainted with them ION speak
ing terms win pronounce this to be inn
possible. IL people want to dismiss the
letter, they might emigrate to the Philip
pines where the congiomerate Asiatic
and half-Asiatic races speak tongues in
which the lack of "R" is conspicuous
Maybe the annexationists have considered
this also a happy issue from a dilemma.
