With Food mt the Door a Widow
Dies of Starvation.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Mrs. Mary Garesk,
widow, died of starvation and cold Just
as a police wagon drove up to her door
with food and coal. Her two children,
nearly famished, were in bed with the
body OF their dead mother, trying 10 keep
warm The house was a tumbled down
frame structure, through which the winds
blew almost unchecked. There was not a
crust of bread in the house, and the last
piece of coal was burned on Saturday I'm
til Friday Mrs. Garesk, who was thirty
eight years old, worked in a pickle fac
tory for 81 a week. She became sick on
that day and went home, where her to
children cared for her. The little medi-
cine was soon gone, and there was no
money to buy more The food went, and
with it the fuel, and the woman died.
She had not complained Of her destitu-
ton. and the two children had respected
their mothers wish and had not begged
for food. They had not even said they
were hungry, and that there was no fuel
in the house, and the first word of the
destitute condition OF the family came
from neighbor who reported it to the DO
lice.

has prepared his report on the result OF his
investigation as to the advisability Of build
ing a ship canal TO connect Lake Erie with

to the State canal board today.
Mr. Perkins says that a ship canal is
feasible and highly desirable. He says that
the canal should be eighty-fve feet wide
and capable Of accommodating vessels OF
nine to ten feet draft. The cheapest route
suggested is the one from Cleveland to Co
shocton, along the present Ohio Canal. To
enlarge the Ohio Canal from Coshocton "a

An organization. not OF buf1oons and
common clowns. but Of comedians and vo-
ealists is the Alice Nielsen Opera Compa-
ny. which was reintroduced to Washington
or to a large portion o. Washington
last night at the National Theatre. Dur
ing the course Of the preser alton il be-
came evident that this difference between
Frank Perley's combination and the Ordi-
nary one is as much the result OF necessi-
~ as OF anything else. Miss Nielsen's We
hicle, The Singing Girl" has a most mu-
sicianly score, the work Of Victor Herbert
The melodies interpolated are charming
full Of light and shade and color: Of queer
harmonies and irresistible swing. The
employment OF persons vocally incompe-
tent for their Interpretation would have
been little less than criminal
The weak point Of The Singing Girl
is its libretto. which, however, is kept
from being duh by ths score aforesaid
and by the beauty 81 the production.
For the foundation OF his book
Stanislaus STANCE has taken a
certain pessimistic, misanthTopic Duke,

confidence in an affair de occur, assumes

tons are plain. The peasant. in love with

gentlemen. and-everything ends in prom
ises OF unanimous happiness and the third
act The story is quite new. but it does
not seem TO have proven fertile and. but
for other features Of the opera, would be
a seriozs blunder.
Miss Nielsen Is as delicious and as IN
affected as ever she was, singing the title
role delightfully."- and playing it with such
freedom that even her technical defects
are enjoyable. Joseph Cawthorn has his
ancient trouble with his "R's''-mUch TO
the amusement OF his audiences. He is
ably aided and abetted in his fun-making
by John Slayin and Joseph Herbert. Eu-
gene Cowles' sonorous bass is heard to adj
vantage in the songs given the Duke, Lu-
ellie Saunders has the part Of that digni-
tary's sister and Richie Ling's robust
tenor wins Kim the usual number OF ad-
