generally known some time since 6 one

ssestlVal orchestra, Then she came into
dlrect contact with such artists as
cave and Nordica, always winning a
large snare of the popular favor. She
mas sung with Seidl, with the Handel
ana Haydn Singing society of Boston,
the Apollo of st. Louis and was one of
the bright particular stars of the 1897
Worcester festival.
Mrs Bloodgood's beauty is a rare
type, being tall, graceful and with a
stage presence that many artists might
envy. A prominent music critic thus
writes of her: "She is one Of the few
women in public life on whom a iewel
seldom shines-yet an artist, sure tc
shine above all surroundings. Dark
brown hair, with clear blue eyes. and a
great deal of color, make a lovely mar.
sonality. To know her in private life is
TO appreciate nature broad and kindly
to every young artist, as well as con.
genial to artists Of equal merit with
herself"
With regard to her voice and method
Of singing, still more might be said
Here is the genuine contralto, a voice
which is rare. 1t possesses a quality
that can best be described as 'lus.

The Boston Herald seems to have
concluded that the contest for the va
cant place in the supreme court has
narrowed down to two aspirants, Con
Hopkins of Worcester, and Judge Dew
ey of Springfield. 1.-THE bar of the cas-
tern part of the state" it says, zap
pears to concede this appointment Il
the western counties" The Herald re-
cites the arguments in behalf of the
Worcester candidate, but suggestively
remarks that Gov. Wolcott ',has shown
a partially for promoting judges from
the superior to the supreme judicial
court" All the same, the fact that Wor-
,cester has been without representation
on the supreme bench since 1891, and
now has candidate well worthy of the
honor, is likely to have influence at the
state house.

If Paul Kruger allows his people to
drift or be forced into war with Great
Britain, he will forfeit large mea-
sure of his reputation for political
shewdness. Unless times have changed
wonderfully and the Boer president mas
lost his grip, he can dictate peace or
war as he wills. On the other hand,
war with the Transvaal is questionable
policy for Mr.. Chamberlain. There is
little indication that it would be pop
ular in England, and in fact, the
Indifference with which the quarrel
seems to be viewed in London should
serve as caution to the ministry.
News from the capitols of both govern
ments is threatening, but perhaps the
season Of bluff is not yet past. 1t is
difficult to believe that war is actually
at hand.

that its influence marks the
beginning of a new era in
which humanity has been adj
