The Young Kansas Cityan Wins Notable
Approval With Marches.

The Young Kansas Cityan Wins Notable
Approval With Marchesi.
Elizabeth Parkinson, the giftsd
Kansas City girl who went abroad
in January to study under Madame
Marchesi, has already given surp1is-
ing proof of the value of her voice
and of the wisdom of her friends
here who interested themselves in
her behalf. Within four months
she was twice promoted in Madame
Marchesi's school, TIE second time
to the Concert class, to which only
the operate class is superior She
sang at the annual concert OF the
school. early in the present month.
a place in which is o distinguished

a committee of judges, including
Marchesi herself, Manguin, leader of
the orchestra at the Opera Comique,
Paris; the Prince of Hesse aud other
important folk. OF the singers il
the annual concert Miss Parkison
was the only one who had not studi-
ed for at least year with Marchesi,
and all had had mora pretentious
preliminary training than she who
had gene direct from Kansas City
teaching She sang ''Villanella' by
DalI Aqua, and when she got to the
middle of it the audience interrupted
her with enthusiastic ''Bravissimas!'
throughout the hall When she fin
ished the applause was tremendous
and she was called back three times.
She easily made the "hit" of the
concert; no other sipge: WAS
interrupted by applause and none
other was called back so often.
Marchesi's husband, the Marquis
di Castrone, congratulated her
warmly, as did many others of the
audience, including Mr.. Clarence
Eddy, wife of the American organist,
who is now living in Paris, and who
predicted brilliant future for her.
The next day Miss Parkinson receiv,
ed pleasant note OF congratSlation
from Mr.. Gowdy, the American
consul, whose wife and daughter
were present at the concert. Miss
Parkinson is Marchesi's youngest
pupil, and the great teacher is conf

CHINESE OUTRAGES.
Rrtons and Americans Held Up and a
Yankee imprisoned.

Britons and Americans Held Up and a
Yankee imprisoned.
Vancouver, B. c., June 28.-The
British ship Wo On, owned by
Banker & Co, was held up on May
90 at Kamchuck, on the West River,
by twenty-five masked robbers, who
coolly emptied her cargo into junks
lying alongside, after which the
passengers, many of them British
and Americans, were made to hand
over $1,000 in cash
Three Chinese torpedo boats,
placed On the river to prevent piracy,
were anchored within 500 yards of
the scene of the outrage, but made
no attempt to assist the merchant
man. After the robbery the captain
of the Wo On reversed her flag at
the masthead, but the torpedo boats
steamed by without paying any
attention to the signals of distress.
Boat captains of the West River
held a meeting after the robbery
and sent resolution to Pekin re-
cording the robbery.
A strange incident happened in
Pekin few days before the steamer
left, in which brave American citi-
zen figured. 1t appears that DIR.

Dallas, Tex, June 28.-One of
the most prominent democrats in
Texas, but who declines to permit
the use of his name, and who is a
clese personal friend of Rear Admir-
al SchleY, recently wrote Schley to
ask if he would permit the use Of
his name as a candidate for either
President or Vice President on the

day received reply in which Schley
says in part:
