was looked upon as a useful artist, but
 nobody yet detected in her the woman
 who was to become one of the great Wagnerian sopranos of the time in her
 own country. When she sang for the first season at the Metropolitan under
 Abbey and Grau it was usually as a substitute for Mime. Flames, although
 she attracted attention in 1S93-94 by
 notably good performances of Valen-
 tine and Marguerite.
 The next season found her regular member of the company, and she re- peated here the performance of Elsa that was so much praised at Bayreuth. From that time her career as a Wag- merriam soprano began. The greatest tri- umph of her later years has been in the part of Isolde, which was heard several times during the past season. This role is in all probability the most eXacting vocally and dramatically of the entire repertoire, and marks easily the apex of any singers ambitions. Mime. Nordica's was the first American Isolde to be heard in New York, and in all probability there will not be an- other until Mime. Flames ads the part to Ter IGpS1 lOlA V 40 AAIAlS.

It is with the product of these combinations and not with the assumed stupidity of the Indian officials that the British en- gineers have to contend. So far as am concerned I can undertake that the preference, unless the difference in price, quality and delivery is very substan- tial, will always be given to her firms. May I not ask you, as a leading mem- Der of the great steel industry of this country, to cooperate with me by im- pressing on your associates the neces- sity of meeting competition in the fu- ture, so as to ensure that price and time of delivery will be on the side of the British production?''

From time immemorial, the weather has bet,l the general topic, but nevor so much as during the past weeks. And the remarks about it were not of complimentary sort, either. Men in all walks of life, who seldom lost their tempers, have appeared peevish and disagreeable,-all on account of the continued rains and leaden skies. This has been all the more noticeable in New York, particularly on Broadway, between Fourth street and Union Square, the district of the mems wear industry. Manufacturers of wearing apparel have suffered more than any other branch of business during this downpour, and as they received can- cellations instead of duplicate orders, their spring and summer stocks must be disposed of at no matter what price, to make room for fall and winter goods. Rain or shine, the manufac turer must prepare for the season ahead.
 Up-to-date retail merchants instead of Joining in the general complaint, have been taking advantage of these peculiar conditions in the markets.
 The Hirsh Stores of New Haven have been heavy purchasers of late in the New York market, and the series of stocks on sale at the busy corner of Church and Crown streets, has at tracted unusual crowds of purchasers even during the stormy days Of course that is not so very remarkable, as the opening stock is that of the universally known makers of the finest clothing in the world-Messrs.

London, May 31.-Two men represent ing themselves to be Filipinos called at the United States embassy to-day and made application to MT. Choate for passports. These the amba ssador de- clined to issue, giving as a reason that they furnished him with no evidence that they were American citizens. The applicants persisted and MT. Choate then assured them that it was quite impossible for him to comply with their request unless evidence were submitted that they were entitled to the privi- leges of American citizenship. Finally the applicants departed after intimat- ing that they would carry the question to Washington. They were not accom- panied by legal counsel.

King Edwards Treasurer.

The man who handles the king's money is Sir Dighton PrObyn. His official title IS keeper of the priyy purse and his duties are attended with grave responsibility, for he must stand between the king and par lament in all financial matters, and act as buffer to protect the king from applicants for pensions, charities and other gratuities. The incumbent of this office is usually the most unpopu- lar man in the royal household.
 Sir Dighton Probyn is one of the heroes of the Indian mutiny and wears a Victoria cross for gallantry when a lieutenant. At the battle of Arga, when the British flag was cut down, young Probyn rushed forward, re. covered it, and bore it back in triumph with thousands of bullets whistling about his ears. He was promoted to a colonelcy and commanded troop ofirregular cavalry known as Probyn's Light Horse, which did gallant work for several years in India. He has been in charge of the kings finances for over twenty years, and Edward VII has such implicit confidence in his judgment and so little in his own about money, matters that he depends entirely upon his treasurer and throws upon him the responsibility of re- spending to the many claims that are made upon his charity. The kings generosity has been so much greater than his resources, however, that Sir Dighton's most serious difficulty has been in dealing with his royal master and finding the means to meet the obligations he has incurred. Every person who fails to obtain 8 pension or a subscription as large as he wants planes Sir Dighton instead of the king. He is childless widower and for many years has lived with the Prince of Wales in Marlborough Palace. In the country he occupies Park house, cottage on the king s estate at Sandringham. Sir Dighton is himself a man of large wealth, and if the truth were known consider able portion of his own income has in-

COOKING SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE,

Dip smelts or fish of any sort in lemon juice when you wish to keep the flesh white
 If you keep parsley wrapped up in a piece of wet cheesecloth, you can keep it for several weeks without it spelling.
 Never leave a lemon or any acid jelly in tin mold over night, because if spells the taste Agate or earthen- ware molds are best.
 When molding cream mixture or gelatine mixture have a mold just the right size. IL is not so apt to break when turned out as if the mold is too large.
 If the gelatine in an earthen mold does not come out readily at first set in dish of hot water for a minute or wet a dish towel and set the dish on it. Be careful that it doesn't stay too long.
 In making chicken salad, if the chicken runs short, as it ctteu does, if may be elied out without anyones being the wiser by adding a third as much roast of pork or veal cut in small bits.
 In mending gloves, use fine cotton, as silk is far more apt to cut the kid. If the rent is in seam, turn the glove inside out and sew them over and over. If the tear is in the glove, set a piece of kid under it and secure with few stitches.

C0CHISE'S ASSESSMENT.
General Proposed Raise of the large Corpora
 tons.

] tions.
 l Quite number of taxpayers have been appearing before the board of equalization this week to show cause why the proposed raise in assessment on their property should not stand
 The board have listened attentively to their objections and taken the mat ter of each into consideration and capitalized the assessments as they deemed proper By the carrying out of the evident policy of the board an increased tax valuation will mean a correspondingly low tax rate. A large number of individual tax raises have been made. and the same basis has been applied to the large corporation interests of the county. While the raises and estimates thus far made are, and until final and definite action is taken, must necessarily be regarded only as proposed raises. Approx imately the assessment roll of the  county would reach about 5000, GOO, and obviously make low tax rate.
 The past few days have been the dates set for appearance of the repre- sentatives of several of the large cor porations to enter objections. Yes terday Supt. Walter Douglass ap- peared in behalf of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company, whose raise is over s3,000,000. Today Supt. Broekman, with Marcus A. Smith as attorney, appeared in behalf of the Commonwealth company. The pro- posed raise of the Commonwealth is about Sl, ,000, GOO. A proposed raise of a similar amount was placed on the property of the Calumet & Arizona company at Bisbee. Supt Merrill ap- peared today to discuss the matter before the board. The Lowell & A ri- zona is also listed with a proposed raise of s500, 600, and other companies have been raised who are yet to ap- pear. and the official figures will be known when the work before the equalization board has been finally completed Tombstone Prospector.

Prayers for Rain.

Isn't it wonderful, said Mrs. Jaw kins, as she laid aside the morning paper and began pouring the coffee "lt seems that they prayed for rain in Kansas and the very next day it just poured"
 "Huhp MT. Hawkins replied nothing wonderful about it that | can see. Now l s'pose those people out there'll be dead sure it rained be- cause they prayed, and the preachers'll Il get up in their puipits and tell them what a wonderful thing prayer is if you all get together at it. That's what makes me disgusted with the Anerican p'ople. They're always jumpln' at conclusions. Them Kansas folks don't stop to think that it would have rained just the same if they hadn't prayed"
 How do you know it would?" Mrs. Hawkins demanded. "You are always ready to blame other people for jump- ing at conclusions, but it seems to me that you have the habit pretty badly yourself. How do you know it would have rained if they had not prayed9''
 Well, it stands to reason,n MT Hawkins said, that God didn't send them showers around there simply be- cause the people prayed for rain. If Gods taking care of the weather all the time he wouldn't let it get neces. sary for the people to fall down on their knees and pray for rain"
 "How do you know?"
 "How do l know? Great heavens! How does any sensible person know anything? People don't have to pray for snow, do they? If God was going to let folks pray for one thing He'd let 'em pray for other things, wouldn't He?n
 "Don t you believe God hears our children's prayers when they kneel down at night? And don't you De- lisve He hears the prayers people offer up in church for guidance?'
 'Oh, well, that's different, said Mr. hawkins, ''and l dunno whether He hears lem or not"
 ''l believe" Mrs. Hawkins insisted, that there's just as much reason to think those showers came because the people prayed for them as there is to believe it would have rained anyway"
 Well, go on believin' tiff you want to-" Mir. Hawkins said as he went hunting for his hat, but don't come trying to work up an argument about 1t with me. That's just like woman, anyway always worrying about other peoples affairs. What is it to us whether they have to pray for thelr ram In Kansas or not? What would you and these foolish people in Kansas have thought of your prayers, though, if it had't rained? You wouldn't have been So sure God had been holding the showers back, would you?r
 Mir. Hawkins imagined that he had handed out a particularly knotty one, and seeing that his wife looked away thoughtfully for moment as if unable to answer him he permitted his chest to bulge perceptibly.
 'sBut if did rain ynn knou ], aba ra piled.
 Mir. Hawkins jammed his hat on then and started away, declaring that ''the great trouble in arguing with women is that reason has no more effect on them than soap and water have on a grease spot" Chicago Record Herald.

A RAID ON
DOVER.

Friday was set by the Temperance
people If this city to make their ap-
pearance at Dover in oppos ition to
the passing of the anti-screen law by
the Senate. The bill which was in
troduced in the House passed by a
safe majority.
When the Senate convened at 1.30
O'Clock the room soon filled with the
delegates comprising some thirty or
more representative citizens.
Among the number who spoke
against repeating the law were; Bish-
op Coleman, Archdeacon George G,
Hall, the Rev. DR.. W. l.. S. Murray,
the Rev. DR.. William W. King, A.
Gawthorp, the Rev. II. A. McCurdy,
the Rev. J. J. Huston, Alfred d..

W. Todd, Henry f. Pickles, l.. w.
Brosius, Mrs. L. W. Emerson, Mrs.
Lafayette Marks, Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Cannon called the special ses-
sion and rclinquished the chairman
ship during the hearing to Bishop
Coleman who was the first speaker.
The Citizens League was repre-.
sented by George w. Todd, Its presi-
dent, who made speech on behalf
of the League which he represented.
The Rev. DR.. Thomas A. McCurdy
asked if the plea for the sore ems is an
ardent plea for the abolition of the
business, "We are not on crusade,
Not one of these women here has a
hatchet, not one of these men has a
revolver, Repeal the anti screen law
and you open the way for the minors
drunkard to enterthe saloon. with no
one to say aught. Is not this class
legislation? So long as man has a
right and a license let him sell under
the law. At the same time let those
on the outside be protected by the
open window and door,"
On motion of Senator Abbott the
bill was laid over until Tuesday next
when it will be called up and its
friends say it will pass.

There were three interesting topics
discussed at the meeting Of the retail
Liquor Dealers Association yesterday
The topics discussed were: the pro-
posed increase of the liquor licenses
the repeal of the screen law and local
option. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the members that it was
immaterial to the saloon keepers
whether the screen law Is repealed or
net. 1t was claimed that the better
class saloon-kecpers were willing to
have their windows open. The exc
cutive committee was instructed to
make a vigorous fight against the bill
to raise the liquor license now In the

oppose the effort to get local option
