Emma Abbott owed her great success al
most wholly to her Astounding cOnsidera-
ton for the people and the sacrifices she
made to keep faith with them and to give
them full measure. Her voice was limited,
her schooling was faulty, and toward the
last her figure was unwieldy, but the gra-
cious cordiality that she established be-
tween herself and her audiences sustained
her at all times.
Aside from the immediate disappointment
that is felt when distinguished prima
donnas unnecessarily fail in their engage
ments there is the greater regret that the
most gifted artists of the world should be-
tray such petty motives as sometimes re-
veal themselves lin their conduct. 1t is a
fine spectacle to see the highest art hon
ored and applauded. II is an inspiring
thought that native genius. and more often
hard and untiring application, has raised
one person TO a position Of command; but
it is a simple matter to mar all this salts

festatiOn of spite, jealousy or bad temper.

The window glass business is in a very

bear the Grau Opera Company and discuss
business conditions in his room at the
Hotel English while he dressed. Mr. Lind
hard declared that within the last four
weeks window glass prices have dropped
- % per cent He says he would not be
surprised TO hear Of a further drop of from
i to % per cent
According 10 Mr.. Lindhard the window
glass trust is responsible for the drop in
the price of glass. As ne puts it, it seems
to be a case of get even" The Diamond
Window Glass Company is one Of the in
dependent concerns of the country Mr.
Lindhard explains mat the trust knocked
the bottom out of prices because the in
dependent concerns would not join with
the trust in controlling the market well,

the nnlshlng touches TO his toilet and
stood forth an ideal figure of the hustlng

interested in the glass business at Gas

pany is now employing 234 people and has
pay roll OF S2i 800 a month. They have
about $4,000 invested in the oil and gas
plant. Mr.. Lindhard is pessimistic on the
question Of natural gas holding out. He
says 1t appears TO him that it cannot hold
out much longer. and in anticipation Of
failure his company has arranged 10 pro-
duce its own gas with three or four weeks

not already built its plant at Gas City they

population of about five thousand and is

where they will have green grass about
their house even if it is only few feet.
1t makes no difference how humble or
how modest the house may be. The
smallest box of house with plot Of
green is temple Of common-sense
compared to the finest "flat" or "board-
ing house, in the city. If there is any

young people should live somewhere

Rayner asked number of questions
