BETTER JUL1ETrE THAN PATTI
The American, Miss Abbott, Captures
the Partisan Critics.

The debut of the young American So
prano, Miss Bessie Abbott PickenS, at
the Grand opera house as Julierte In
Romeo ct Juliette" has
caused quite a commotion in muS1cai
circles here, and possibly some heart
burnings among the fashionable teach
ers almost exclusively patronized by
Americans, such as Marchesi,
dello, and Sbriglia, neither OF Whom
have day any prominent pupil or the
Partisan lyric stage Other teachers, on
the contrary, such as Julians
and Figure, accord warm and earnest
praise to the young American, says a
Paris cable to the New York Tribune.
Manuery says: Miss Abbott is the
best Juliette / have ever heard. More
over, with the exception of Patti, she is
the only prima donna who has ever been
able to render the part as written IN
the original score That is to say. MISS
Abbott sang the score of Juliette IN q,
which required her to put her full voice
on high d, the attack of which was alb
solutely perfect. 1t should be renem-
bered that neither Melba nor Eames
Julette in G, but did so in +, a full tone
lower thar Miss Abbott sang it"
Pierre G~ailhard, the director of the
opera, states: I'm my opinion Miss
Bessie Abbott is the most perfect JuIi-
cite that has ever sung in Paris, and in
saying this l do not even except Patti
Miss Abbott's ompas is most ark
able, ranging from B below the line to
c. above the line, or high G."
After Miss Abbott completed the first
phrase of the score of Juliette at the
opera on Monday night Gaiihard ran up
to her and kissed her on the cheek and
exclaimed:
My lean child, your triumph is as
sured."
Miss Abbott replied: why, I ave
scarcely begun to sing yet" Gailhard
rejoined: 20, you have won the ear of
the public and you are a success now,
no matter what you may do"

RUSSIA is GROWING COTTON
Will Soon Be Able to Supply All Her.
Own Markets-Raise Cotton !
Rather Than Wheat. ]
(By Associated Press

Washington, May 1S.-It is expected
that Russia will be able soon to supply
her own needs in cotton, according to a.
report received at the state department,
from Deputy Consul General Hanauer at
Frankfort, Germany. She is one Of the
few countries which exacts tax on inn
ported cotton. A tax almost equal to SIS
per 40 pounds, and amounting to about
tWo-thirds Of the staple, is imposed.
The importation o. cotton diminished
over 100000 pounds in 1899, while the
production increased "a per cent during
the same year. Grain fields in Russia
are now planted with cotton, for the Gull
tivation of the fibre is much more pro-
fitable than that of wheat.

Washington, May Ex-senator Morgan
of Alabama, is as outspoken in his oppo-
sition to negro suffrage in Alabama now,l
as he was when he began his campaign
for reelection in the senate. In an inter-.
view lately, in speaking of the coming
constitutions convention and what it
will do, he said:
There is not the shadow of a doubt
that without doing violence to the 14th,
and 18th amendments TO the federal con-
stitution, the ignorant, Irresponsible in,
capable and unpatriotic element will be,
deprived of the power to participate, to,
its detriment in the administrator of af-,

true liberty and republican institutions
will be strengthened and restored to the
full character of manhood"

hcShNVCh bNe"os
Governor Lee IS unregenerate to the
last. He is exerting every effort and
breaking every written and unwrit ten
law in the hope of being able to retain
his henchmen in positions which the
people have said they should vacate. A
few weeks ago he re-appointed B. H.
Lien of Sioux Falls, and Fred M. Brown
of Deadwood, as members Of the board
of charities and corrections, with the
idea of forcing them upon the incoming
administration in defiance of law and
precedent. After thinking the matter
over these gentlemen concluded they
did not want to burn their fingers in the
game and sent in their designations, so
the governor has appointed in their
stead Fl. p. Smith of Madison, and Fred
III. Bacon of Canton, two men with less
scruples of conscience and more disre-
gard for the will of the people. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that there will not be
much trouble in ousting them when the
proper time comes.
