SARA ANDERSON, THE SYMPHONY
oRCHEsTRA's FIRST sOLOIsT.
P-roscenium Arch Being Made IL
New York for the Grand Opera
at TomIinson Hall.

The first concert of the Indianapolis SYM
phony Orchestra's season will be given
a week from tomorrow night at English's
Opera House. Seats will be reserved at
the box office of the theater next Wednes-
day for g~uarantors, Thursday for holders
of season tickets and thereafter for the
public generally. Season tickets for the
three concerts are sold for 81 and they ad-
nit also to the three public rehearsals and
are transferable. Sara Anderson will be
the soloist for the first concert. She is
one Of the most interesting of the American
sopranos. She was born IN New York in
1877. a daughter of Sara Baron Anderson,
a well-known contralto. Her father, too,
was gifted musically. while her grand
father was a celebrated English choir
master.
AS a very young girl, Miss Anderson and
her two sister attracted attention by their
ensemble singing; they were often heard
in public, when they could give variety
enough for a whole programme, singing
solos, duets, trios, and, with their mother,
quartets. Sara Anderson at the age Of
fifteen, commenced her training for her
professional career; she attended the Ma
tional Conservatory OF Music in New York,
and for two years studied there under the
guidance of Oscar Saenger. When seven
teen years Of age, she went to Europe,
choosing for her teacher Jacques Bouhy,
who had also been Saenger's instructor;
in this way, the training of her voice, was
continued without any change of method.
She remained three years in Paris; she
became a favorite pupil of NJ. Bouhy, and
he predicted for her the success which has
since been realized. Desiring to interpret
the German masters, she chose for her in
| structor George Henschel. At the age OF
twenty-one Miss Anderson sang in Ameri-
ca at the Worcester Festival of 1855. Her

THEATER SEATS.
Fancy Many Persons Have for Fifth
or Sixth Row.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
what seats are the most popular IN a
theater? Well, sir, that reminds me of the
curious source of ANNOYANCE TO theatrical
managers" said Manager Rowles, OF the
Tulane, land you will probably be sur
prised when ] tell you about it. No matter
what the character of the performance the
emand is always for the seats In the fifth
and sixth rows downstairs. \ man will
walk up To the ticket office and ask for a
seat In one of these rows. He is told that
all these particular seats are sold. The the
alter is instantly sold out in his estimation,
and he manag to leave the same impress
sion on acquaintance who may be think
ing about buying tickets at the same time.
II has frequently happened right here that
because a man could not get into the fifth
and sixth rows the report got out that the
whole seating capacity of the theater had
been sold, when the fact would be that
probably some of the most desirable seats
in the theater would still be unpurchased.
From this l would conclude that probably
the most popular seats in the theater are
the seats in the fifth and sixth rows, and
the end seats, Of curse, for every fellow
nearly wants to sit next to the aisle which
leads back toward the entrance, out into
the lobby, down into the street, and-but
this is another story. But these are hob
bieS. They are just like other hobbies. Why
is a man anxious to get the seat he occu-
pied at a previous performance? Same rea-
son. Hobby. That's all. Recurring to the
seats in the fifth and sixth rows, l might
say that hey are not always the best seats
In the theater. Much depends on the char
acter of the performance. Take an opera.
Proximity, with reference to the stage, be-
comes a matter of serious concern. Some
times one will miss the softer and sweeter
intonationS of the singers voice by being
too close. What would sound harshly In the
fifth and sixth rows would melt, and soften,
and mellow into silvery cadences until it be
almost a grooming ~roundelay by the time
the waves had jostled further back in the
playhouse, and the tint and tinseI, some
times gaudily apparent to persons far to-
ward the stage will GLOW In natural cO1Org

the entrance. 1t depends on the character
of the performance, and the looks OF per-

SUIT FOR DIVORCE
Queer Grounds Alleged in the
MCNab Case.
HEART VERSUS LUNGS
Husband and Wife Needed
Different Attitudes.

Denver, Col, April 8-"Can geographi-
cal altitude have anything to do with d.
vorce proceedings?"
DR.. Duncan McNab, Jr., recently OF
Troy. N. Y. say it can most positively.
Mrs. Amelia McNab. still of Troy, says
it can't, and most emphatically. Hence
remarkable trial and Mrs. McNab's
presence here.
Their only trouble is that Mrs. AIcNab
must live at some low altitude while DR..
McNab can only enjoy life away up in
the region of the clouds He has lung
trouble; she a weakness of the heart.
That's why they do not live together
and the only reason why DR.. McNab
has been suing for divorce here.
Judge Malone has this knotty problem
to solve, and he has adjourned the final
hearing TIL next Saturday that he may
get some legal lore on the relation of
altitude and separate abiding places.
The smart set Of Troy used to own DR..
BIcNab. He was a dashing doctor of
80. His wife was d beautiful girl of q.
They were married in 1896. In 1898 DR..
AIcNab had to seek the altitudinous re-
gion of Denver for his lungs. But Mrs.
McNab wouldn't go because people with
weak hearts try TO get as near the sea
level as possible.
''Desertion," promptly asserted DR.. Nc
Nab in a complaint for divorce.
In due season the case of Heart VS..
Lungs came up IN court here.
This is simply case said George
P. Steele, the husbands lawyer. where
divorce is desired because the couple
cannot live together, the altitude being
too high for one and too low for the
other"
I'm afflicted with regurgigation Of
the heart" was Mrs. NIcNab's rejoinder,
"and moderate degree Of cardiac ny
pertrophy."
Then came the cattle of the experts.
DR.. Whitney swore that Mrs McNab's
heart was as good as anybody's. DR..
Hall swore she might live fifty years in
Denver DR.. McNab smiled triumphant
". But the heart side had a trump card
still to play against the lung side-a
package of letters.
Did YOU not seek to disgust your
wife with YOU? asked her counsel, ''by
writing these Ietters?"
NO" protested DR.. 0TcNab.
But the letters We're against him. and
his suit for divorce was thrown out of
court. Then it was the wife's turn
again. She demanded alimony and
separate maintenance out Of her hus-
bands large means
Il viii support her if she lives with
mo - snanned the doctor.
But that will have to be decided next
Saturday, when the question of altitude
and lungs and hearts viii be gone into
again on behalf of the wife.

The Best Remedy for rheumatism.

QUIDh hhLIEF FROM PAIN.
All who use Chamberlain's Pain Balm

When speaking Of this Mr.. D. n. Sinks,

erous remedies but got no relief until
I was recommended by Messrs. Geo. F.

try Chamberlain's ram Balm. They
recommended it so highly that 1 bought
a bottle. 1 was soon relieved of all pain.

1T IS IMPORTANT
TIC Know What You Are Taking When
Using Catarrh Medicines.

CatarTh is the short route TO consump-
ton and the Importance of early and
judicious treatment of catarrh. whether
located in the head. throat or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law and the forms in which
they are administered, numerous and con
fusing, from sprays. inhalers. washes.
ointments, and salves TO powders. liquids
and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and most effective, but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies it
is almost entirely a matter Of guess
work as to what you are taking into
your system, as the proprietors. while
making all sorts of claims as TO what
their medicines viii do. always keep it a
close secret as to what they are.
The success and popularity Of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. is
largely because it not only cures catarrh
but because catarrh sufferers who use
these tablets know what they are taking
into their systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets being composed of Eucolyptol, Hy-
drastin. Guaicol and similar valuable and
dutlStpllC LISEculSLlSs ana are pAccSd-ilt
to the taste and being dissolved in the
mouth they take immediate effect upon
the mucous lining OF the throat, nasal
passages and whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases
of catarrh are little short OF remarkable,
and the advantage OF knowing what you
are putting into your stomach is OF para
mount Importance when it is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit has
been frequently contracted as the result
Of using secret catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with cor
dial approval from physicians. because
their autiseptic character render them
perfectly safe for the general public to
use and their composition makes them
a common sense cure for all forms of
catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at SO cents for
full sized packages.
