the strength OF her own native merits.
In little over year under this great

SANDOW HAD HARD TINES.
The Strong Man Had Many Adventures
All Over the World.

Eugene Sandow, the strong man, like
most public performers, has AT times
been In hard lines At the outset of
his career, after he had been touring
with circuses and sitting as an artists
model, he found himself In low water
In Amsterdam What he wanted to

denly turned his attention to the auto

The city rang next day with the
story Of a gang OF marauders and their
wilfuf damage, 1000 gullders being OF

arrest. Sandow repeated his perform

was captured BY the police But he
pointed out TO the authorities that he
had done nothing wrong-he had mere

slot and tried his lifting powers. As a
necessary result he was promptly re-
leased, and his great feat became the

Miss Gates, who has spent four years
In Europe, mostly in Berlin, will soon
be added TO our home music forces.
She has had many tempting offers to
adopt the operate or concert stage,
but her loyalty TO her parents has
caused her to decline all inducements
to become n 'prima donna" Professor
Stephens, who takes lively interest in
the young lady's progress, has received
a letter from Major Pond, well known
as the manager OF Emma c. Thursby,
Kellogg and other great singers, in
which he speaks as follows OF Miss
Gates:
"She sang for me-much TO my
amazement. for she Is the finest singer
OF her age that ] know Of by a large
majority. and back ot her genius, she
has a sweet naturalness and personal
appearance that Is captivating. she
Is besides level headed" | think |

that are so gifted, TO be away from
home without a mother (she IL accom-
panied by her grandmother, Mrs. Lucy
h. Young, but she seems TO Inherit
strength Of character and knows right
from wrong. and Is so loyal and de-
voted to her parents and her people
that she Is sure 10 keep In the right
path"
Hugh Dougall, who Is now also In
Berlin, writes home after hearing her:
she sings with as much artistic fin
ish as Sembrich, and II she had a big
voice would be a wonder"
Prof. Stephens who heard Miss Gates
In Berlin about a year ago. says: II
had the pleasure Of hearing her take
her lesson under Madame Correlli,
teacher OF the Italian school. although
she is teaching in Germany. Miss
Gates was trained In n line OF pure
sustained tone bel -style-never
particle Of forcing or OF great
strength or breadth allowed, but every
thing done with an artistic delicacy
and grace that meant finish To those
who want quantity" rather than
Quality" Miss Gates may be a disap-
pointment. welcome her home as a
singer who furnishes an example OF
purity and finish in tone and style, In
contrast with our prevailing tendency

OF the other true and more valuable
traits in singing"
