MARY HOWE LAWNS FAREWELL


flute in sweetness and flexibility. and the
charm and nobility of style in the Arditi
waltz.
II goes without saying that on this occa-
sion the favorite singer was presented with
profusion of flowers and laurel wreaths.
All admirers of the bel canto will regard
Miss Howe's departure with deep regret.
She is genuine star such as our stage has
not possessed for many years past.
twiesbadener Tageblatt, June 27l
Miss Mary Howe in the part of "Rosina''
took her farewell of our public. Her stay
was short but noteworthy. She could not
be regarded as general reperto singer
on account of her individual ar istic direc-
tion which constitutes her specialist by
nature. She was rather TO be regarded as
a special attraction, or in theatrical par
lance "star," the loss of whom will be
painfully felt.
Her circle of activity consisted exclu-
sively of parts in which the chief musical
Importance lay in the coloratur style. Her
best role was without doubt "Traviata."
One went to hear "Traviata" .simply be-
cause Miss Howe sang, not at all for the
piece itself. AS the queen in ''the Hugue-
nots" she was ve:y lovely and refined, and
| also as Queen of the Night" Charm
ing and coquettishly humorous was her
"Martha;" as "Gilda, Lucia and "Fi-
lima" more reserved and conventional.
Next to "Traviata' Mary Howe's artistic
nature found its most congenial task in the
part of "RosiDa." After last evenings per-
formance one can only repeat that which
has been so often noted.
Ever anew the voice by its certainty and
perfect cultivation moved one to admira-
tion. Its tones are not of exceptional
force or volume, but in all registers and at
the greatest height are so elastic, so clear
and bright, so free and opeD,-tones pure
and golden like bell, round and glowing
like pearls, lowering like a sunbeam or
vanishing like an echol
The virtuosity of this voice is fabulous
in its ease and is shown as perfectly in
delicately shaded phrases as in the most
brilliant bravura passages.
In the aria "Una Voce POGO Fa' and in
the "Parla' waltz of Arditi and varia-
tions with flute accompaniment sung in
the lesson scene, these phenomenal gifts
/ and the seductive charm of the mezzo
voce were brought out most strikingly.
| Mary Howe, the blonde piquante beauty,
the American prima donna, in her unique
and refined personality will remain in the
memory of our theatre-going public.
A profusion of splendid floral gifts were
! laid at the feet of the departing favorite,
and the well-earned laurel-wreath was not
wanting. The time Of Mary Howe will re-
main unforgotten.

THE SAFE BLOWING AT WILMINGTON.


from j. @. Newton's office, and after ty-
ing Ray into chair they left one of their
number on guard while the other three
went to the railroad station, where they
blew open the safe. Several persons
heard the explosion, but no investigation
was made. The burglars secured SIS. .35,
overlooking envelopes containing $50.
Three holes we're drilled in the safe. The
door was blown across the room and sew
eral windows were broken. Young Raw
struggled long time after the burglars
left before he could get his feet free, so
that he could walk, with the chair still
tied to him, to house near by, where he
gave the alarm.

Death OF HOraiIO Alger, Author of
stories for Boys.


stories for Boys.
Horatio Alger, the well-known writer
of stories for boys, died Tuesday from
heart disease at the home of his sister,
Mrs. A. P. Cheney, in Natick, Mass. He
was the son of Unitarian minister, was
born in Revere, Mass, and graduated at
Harvard. At the request of friend he
wrote a sketch for the Student and School
mate which attracted so much attention
that he concluded that juvenile literature
was his forte, and thenceforth devoted
himself almost entirely to 1t. In 1866 he
established himself in New York and
spent much time studying the street Arabs.
The result was his dragged Dick' and
"Tattered Tom" series, which had sale
of over half million volumes. He wrote
in ALI over so books, some Of which have
never been published. He had a warm
heart for boys, and often assisted those
who were needy He never married, but
he adopted two boys and started several
others in business. He would never tell
his age, but he is supposed to have been
about 65 years old.

THE VERMONT NATIONAL GUARD.


Guard; that all former guardsmen who did
not go are honorably discharged from SER
vice; and that citizen volunteers who en-
listed to bring the companies up to war
strength, upon their muster out returned
to civil life and are not members of the
National Guard.
The st. Albans Messenger sizes up the
situation as follows: "The militia is now
but a skeleton regiment, but every man is
a war veteran, and the material is left and
the organization is at hand for as fine a
regiment as can be found in the National
Guard service anywhere in the country"

The new treaty which went into effect
between the United States and Japan on
Tuesday, is of wide-reaching Importance,
as it abolishes methods which have been
in vogue nearly 80 years and substitutes
an entirely new method of procedure.
Japan is recognized for the first time as an
equal in every respect. The fowery king
dom also gets the same recognition in its
new treaties with the European countries
and several of the South American repub-
lies,

No clue has been found to the identity
of the burglars who blew open the safe in
the railroad station at Wilmington about
2 o'clock Thursday morning. F. E. Ray,
ir., watchman at the engine house, was
sitting in the cab of the engine when he
heard a slight noise at the right, and when
he arose to look around he gazed into the
barrel of a revolver in the hand of
masked man. Ray pushed the revolver
one side and attempted to knock off the
burglars mask, but he was seized from the
rear by three other masked men and over
powered.
The burglars asked Ray about the pros
poets of getting money from the bank and

The Vermont supreme court has decided
that the National Guard Of Vermont still
exists. The decision was rendered in re-
sponse to a request from Gov. Smith for
the court to define the status of the Ma
tional Guard.
The substance of the supreme courts
opinion is that the First regiment practi-
cally went into the United States army on
leave of absence and, upon its return, re-
sumed its old status that all former MEM

the war are still members of the National

FRIDAY, JULY 81, 1890.

William X. Vanderbilt has wired the
Milwaukee journal, saying there is abso-
lutely no truth in the report that the New
York Central and its allied companies are
planning to obtain control of other lines of
railroad in order to make a through line
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The clamor from all over the country
has forced Gen. Alger out of the cabinet.
Many Republicans thought Mckinley act
ed unwisely when he put man with a
sh aky war record at the head of the war
department. The war against Spain
brought this lily prepared department into
tangle, and Alger has been made the
scapegoat of all delays, blunders and scan
dals.
