passage OF bill. already favorably reported
from the Committee on Foreign Affairs look
ing to reform in the Consular Service. This
bill provides for the establishment Of a perma-
net consular system similar to those Of Great
Britain and other European nations. 1t stipu-
lates that only men experienced in diplomacy
shall be appointed to consular POSITIONS and
that they shall retain their posts for life dur
ing good behavior. without regard to political
changes.
Mr. Adams's bill authorizes the President to
appoint a commission to aid him In the reOr-
ganization Of the service, which must be accom-
plished within two years after the passage Of
the bill.
In speaking Of the bill Mr. Adams is quoted
saying:
The consular system Of the United States
Is vastly in need Of improvement The difficulty
Is that we have not enough trained and expe-
rienced diplomats among our foreign represent
atives, and some Of our foreign consulS are
not thoroughly qualified for their work when 1t
comes to handling intricate and delicate subjects
Of diplomacy. What we need Is a trained corps
Of diplomats who shall spend lifetime in the
service. as they do in England and other Euro
pean countries, and who shall not be subject
to political changes at the White House.

NINE. BLANCHE NARCHESI.
A SONG SINGER WHO HAS WON RENowN IN
EUROPE COMING TO NETWORK.


The daughter of one Of the worlds greatest
singing teachers, and herself artist Of unique
distinction, sailed from Liverpool for New-York
on New Years Eve. She is the Baroness Pacca-
micci. known in professional life Blanche
Marchesi.
AS a public singer her career has been singu-
larry brilliant She did not adopt 1t until little
more than three years ago. and then in tenta-
tive manner. OF course she had the best vocal
training from childhood. for Nine. Marchesl, the
mother brought up her family with as much
care as if she had no other mission in the world:
but it was only domestic and social career that
she contemplated for her youngest daughter.
But Blanche Marchess artistic nature was OF
such exquisite fibre that all who knew it longed
to have her make her expression OF it public
And so she went to Berlin and tried the expert
ment of recital. then to Brussels. Paris and
finally steered for the auring goal of London
The rewards of London are sought by all musical
artists. and they came to Nine. Marchesi in un-
expected abundance. At once she became the
sensation of the recital and drawing rooms. The
Queen and her family made much OF her person
ally and professionally. and she transferred her
domestic establishment to the British capital
There she has been ever since visiting the Con-
tinent at intervals for concert engagement anu
enabling the critics to write something else than
conventional phrases about her-indeed, to SUD
stitute Rhapsody for the ordinary tone of crlti-
cism.
Her repertory of songs embraces everything
from Purcell Bach and Handel down to the
exotic productions Of the modern French school,
and the reach Of her art Informed as it ID by
warm feeling and refined intelligence. seems to
extend to everything that enlists her sympa-
tbies. There can be no doubt that she VIII

but In what way do the United States con-
suls get better information than the British!
Mr.. Yates asked.
II should say they take a great deal more
trouble getting information, and go to work IN
different fashion. The American consul. as
rule, is the sort of man to cultivate the ac-
quaintance of business men in his district, and'
Of course we know that the citizens OF the
Stars and Stripes are champions at the gentle
art Of questioning. and their questions are usu-
ally very much to the point"
Mr. Yates goes on comparing the consus Oh
tho two countries in way favorable 10 tne
United States. He says:

merchants which is furnished by American con-

suls II is necessary to adopt more or less ag-
gressive tactics. | admit that, and, OF course, up
to now the British consul has never considered
himself in the light OF commercial traveller
but the American consul takes himself that
way with the utmost goodwill Now whether it
would be wise for the British Foreign Office
to encourage our consuls to throw aside their
traditions in this respect is perhaps, moot
point; but I certainly think that where the
other and imperative duties of a consul prevent
him from giving a large amount of his time 10
purely commercial matters an assistant consul
should be appointed who could make that de-
partment his special care. And there is room
for great deal more useful activity. Probably
no British consul would adopt American meth
DDS without feeling that he was losing dignity.
But depend upon it, the time for the old-fash-
ioned notions prevalent in British cOnsulates
has gone by.

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one OF the leading citizens and mer-
chants Of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va, struck
his leg against cake Of ice in such man
ner as to bruiSe it severely. It became very
much swollen and panied him so badly
that he could not walk without the aid Of
crutches He was treated by physicians,
also used several kinds Of liniment and
two and half gallons Of whiskey in bath
ing it, but nothing gave any relief until he
began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
This brought almost a complete cure in a
weeks time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would have
had to be amputated. Pain Balms IS un-
