AMERICAN SINGERS FAULT.
Said that They Lack the Artistic
Sense and Concentration.
New York Telegraph.

New York Telegraph.
Nine Marchesi, the famous singer and
teacher, said, during a recent interview:
What has my experience taught me
about woman? That she is too variable and
not energetic enough. She should unite
force with the gentleness which makes life
bearable. What are the best voices? There
are beautiful voices in all countries. Amer
lean women are admirable, and / am de-
voted to them. I have but one reproach to
make concerning them, and that is not of
their character, but of their education,
which little fits them for an artistic career.
The majority come to me knowing no lam
guage but English, with keen under
standing OF business and the practical side
OF life. but a complete ignorance of art.
They are somewhat tickle and not extreme
ly serious in their work: they like variety
in professors as well as in everything else;
they have not the application of girls who
have received classic and artistic training,
and one more influence which determines
their professional caliber is their Puritan
heritage. Inherent suppression of all emo
ton. constant effort at self-control. are the
enemies OF sentiment. poetry and theatrical
abandon TO which the Latin nations lend
themselves so naturally. II results that
Americans make light opera singers more
often than dramatic artists. They are not
accustomed to intellectual labor as we un-
derstand IL over here; they seldom finish
their studies"

The whole picture, head and bust is four

SUGAR AND SUGAR CANE.

1t was recently announced that the
managers of the great sugar refinery
soon to be erected in Tampa had begun
operations by the purchase of a site OF
some IA acres, and the fact may be ac-
copied as an indication Of the energy
and good faith of those behind the
enterprise. The land selected is lOcat-
ed on tidewater and will afford ample
accommodation for the docks and ware
houses necessary for the suCCessfr
operations of any extensive plant IS
that about to be operated b. the
South Florida Sugar Planting and Re-
fining Company. In this connection 1t
was suggested that ample dock room
might be required, since were the home
supply of cane to prove inadequate, 1t
was proposed to depend largely upon
importatiOns from Cuba. 1t need
hardly be said that the people Of south
Florida should see to it that no such
necessity shall ever arise, and that the
new refinery is at all times kept sup
piled with all the sugar cane 1t can
handle. jacksonville has long felt the
necessity of securing more manu-
featuring enterprises and the establish
ment here Of such a sugar refinery as
that upon which Tampa is now con-
graduating herself has for some time
past been ably advocated by prominent
and practical experts-Flordia Times

But that logical reasoning hardly
encouraged Sir Rupert, At lei 18th the
day came when he could bear Is sus-
pense no Longer. and he went Il llynn
determined that very hour to a SybiI
to be his wife.
He will never forget the day Iof the
scene. The dark after years bought
terrible pictures; this one re Iained
clear and bright in his memory while
he lived
1t was the close Of a warm august
evening, and the sun shone brightly
over the grounds and gardens Of Glynn
He inquired for the squire, and was
told that he had gone over to Lord
Give to dine Miss Joceiyn and Miss
Ruthers were out in the pOny-carriage;
Miss Sybil was in the garden alone.
There he went to seek her. He re-
membered the golden glow Of the trees,
the fragrance Of the flowers. He re
membered how the tall, white lilies
cleaned and gllstened; how the rich,
sweet scent Of tho roses greeted him;
how the acacia blossoms fell under his
feet as he passed by; how the little
| birds sung quaint love-stOries from the
depths of green trees; how the wind
| had died away into the sOftest Of
murmurs. He remembered how his
heart beat when he saw her sitting
under towering chestnut-tree,
trying to read, and yet looking with
charmed eyes on the fair world around
her,
He went slowly up to where she sat,
He might have read his fate in the
kindly, frank smile that frightened her
face when she saw him. Real, true
pleasure shone in her eyes, and her
words were quite free and uncOn-
strained.
There was no sudden flush. no droop-
ing Of the proud, bright eyes, no culver
on the sweet lips, no beating Of the
quiet heart. Was he blind, that he d.
not notice 1t?
q am so glad to see YOU" she said.
Il am left all alone today, and | am
tired of myself Sit down, Sir Rupert,
and tell me something new and charm
ing"
He sat down by her side, but the
ready words did not come.
"You are not going to disappoint me,
and prove dull, are you?' she asked,
anyiousy.
81 hope not" he said, with a strange
smile. Il should like you to think
what say today more interesting than
anything you have ever heard"
"What will it be abOut?" she asked,
wondering at his serious tone,
at will b. about you and myself he
said,
Then he paused abruptly, for she
turned her face SO frankly to him, he
saw that she had not lhe faintest idea
Of his meaning.
"Then it cannot be anything very
interesting" she replied. Il know all
about myself, and find no amusement
in the knowledge"
"But you do not know all about me,
he cried, and the passion in his voice
startled her. lou do not know SybH
my darling, how dearly | love yOu-so
dearly that | would give you my life
aud all have in the world. Oh, Sybil.
could You not learn to care for me
could you love me?'
And before she could speak he was
kncelng in the soft, long grass at her
feet, pouring out a passionate torrent
of words that bowilderod her
Words such rs would have burned
