Possibly she will sing during March at
the Metropolitan Opera-house.
The season is to be rich in music. Great
Europeans are after our American dollars
more than ever. A long string of them
will visit America, and many of these will
reach our coast. Among those who return
to America are Paderewski, Leonora
Jackson, Lilli Lehman, Josef Hoffman.
Gerardy, Harold Bauer, Plunket Greene.
Fritz Kreisler, Gregorowitsch, Carlotta
Maconda, Fanny Zeisler and Lillian Blau-
welt. Those known to America by repute
only are Jan Kubelik, Edouard Zelden-
rust, Pablo Casals, Esther Fee, Electa
Clifford, Estelle Liebling, Gregory Hast
and Andrew Black
Jan Kubelik is the sensation of the lot,
He is liked in London next to Paddy"
He is a man of only q, the son of a mar
ket gardener living near Prague. There
in Bohemia he was born and there his
father gave the youngster his first music
lessons. All Bohemians are musical not
excepting market gardeners. Later on
Jan appeared at the Prague Conservatory
as prodigy The child wonder grew into
a man wonder. and Kubelik has made
tremendous sensation in Europe of late
His greatest success has been in England,
where he has played for two seasons in
concerts. His programmes are chiefly
made up of the Paganini repertoire.
Paderewsk comes to this country prin-
cipally to look after the welfare of his
new opera, "Manru," which will be given
at the Metropolitan Opera-house in Feb

Continent. wherever they may be, two
hours morning practice is the infallible
rule.
THAT two hours is given to perfecting
old work and developing new" says Nick,
the big one. the leader of the troupe "If
there has been any mistake during a per-
formance the trick which failed must be
practiced over and over to make sure that
the thing doesn't happen again. Then we
must keep learning new things. The pub
lie demands that. Sometimes it takes two
years to develop trick after it has been
thought Of It will occur to one of us
and we will be sure it can be done; but
first attempts prove failures. Nothing
but practice solves the problem.
1t is a curious fact that tricks nearly
always are discovered by accident. In
the daily practice one of us often STUN
bles upon something new. Perhaps we
happen to do some stunt while trying an
other, and Immediately the idea occurs
that the accidental movement can be
made into a trick. Then arises the diff
hculty of doing it again.
I'VE try and try and repeatedly fail
But inasmuch as we know that if has
been done once we know that it can be
done again, and to that end we work.
The reward Of this perseverance is the
fact that a trick once learned is never
forgotten. After you know how to do it
it comes so easy that you wonder if there
was ever a time when you didn't know it.
and you couldn't unlearn it if you tried"

fancy time in a race I used to have
hand at that sort of thing now and then
in early days before safeties were in
vented and when my horse was one OF
the old-fashioned high wheels; when the
record was at somewhere in the neigh
borhood of three minutes instead of one.
But there is no good in racing; it wears
a man out instead of building him up"
The Kaufman bicycles are not particu-
larly different from those that all of us
use. They are not made 10 order, al
though each performer is entirely de-
pendent upon his own wheel, which he
knows. 1t is adjusted to suit the needs;
each one is arranged with no brake, a
coaster. smaller gear than usual, and an
ordinary saddle The wheels are very
strong in the cranks The tires must be
pumped according to the stage, being
Debated much more for use on slippery
floor
That matter of the stage is an impor-
tant consideration. The Kaufmanns say
that the only nervousness they ever feel
is the first night on a new stage The
size, the slope, the shape, are all impor-
tant to their nicely adjusted work, and
the slightest difference in any of these
points is felt.
Nordica, who has been denied to opera
goers this season, has recently arrived in

you thinks at every Orpheum per-
formance
And that is what comes of sitting in
comfortable seat in the audience and
watching those half-dozen Kaufmanns
whirling and spinning rhythmically over
the stage, whirling so swiftly and so
smoothly that if you watch them hard
you begin in time to see half a dozen big
pink and green watermelons whirling be-
fore your eyes.
That is the outside OF the show.
The inside of it is seen on the stage
when the curtain has fallen upon the act
and they stagger down to their dressing
rooms mopping up the perspiration that
drips through the grease paint and the
powder, streaking it and blotching it from
forehead to chin And this they call the
lightest Of their work The performance
lasts only fifteen or at most twenty min
utes; their every morning practice covers
two hard working hours.
During those two hours there is no re-
spite. During them they ride, they twirl,
they turn somersaults. they balance on
their heads, they work work, work
Are you fond Of wheeling? Do you ride
for recreation?" was asked the women
Ride? We never want to see a wheel
outside of working hours they an
swered.
Turn sport into labor and it can never
be a sport again. The Kaufmanns can
not see a wheel and think of anything but
bread and butter and the sweat of their
brows wherein they eat it. That is, except
the wonder boy, Frank. He would ride
his steel charger to the ends Of the earth
end no one said him nay.
In Eastern cities, where the continuous
performance goes, these people have to
show their cleverness fourteen times a
week. They look upon US as a snap be-
cause we let them off with ten times.

Black was the answer.
1--WE have to change our shoes often"
Mary, the elder of the women, explained.
I'm fact, we have to change our costumes
all the time. We must keep showing
something new, not o,one in tricks, but
even in dress, or we will be back num-
bers before We know it,
She took down her own black boots and
began to lace them. They were high
higher than the mems, but otherwise like
theirs. They are made especially for the
troupe. all of soft, strong leather, the
soles like the tops, heeiless, and with the
laces reaching far down the toes, to give
all the spring possible.
''The soles have to be soft so that we
can feel the pedals,' they explained.
Otherwise there is nothing peculiar
about the costumes. The women wear
silk tights, stays, blouse and trousers.
They claim that the stays firmly laced
are no hindrance in their gyrations. So

THE LOCAL POLICE PRAISED.
Major Sylvester on Their Conduct
During the inauguration.

Major Sylvester yesterday expressed
himself as being well pleased at the man
ner in which the police arrangements had
been carried out during tine -nau-uration
festivities and said that numerous com
plimentary letters had been received by
him from prominent citizens. The number
of robberies reported was insignificant in
comparison with any similar gathering,
and Major Sylvester had reason to believe
that considerable proportion of those re-
ported would prove to be losses and not
thefts He believes that those roboeries
which were committed were done largely
by local crooks who are as yet unknown
to the police, for those who had any Grim
inal record were either arrested or kept
under surveillance during their entire
stay in the city.
The depreGations of the pennsylvania
soldiers were not of as serious a charac-
ter as they had been on previous occa-
sions, according 10 the police. although
considerable damage had been done. In
such lit is Major Sylvester desire
that persons who have been damaged
communicate with the police, who will in
Vestigate and, if warranted, support any
affidavit that they may file looking to
redress from the State of Pennsylvania.
In speaking Of the presence of boxes, bar
rels and other Instructions along the line
of march. he believed that there were
much fewer violations of law in this re-
spect than ever before

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS.
A Decision Handed Down i'm the
Rhodes VIII Contest

After several years of litigation the
Court of Appeals for the District yester-
day announced its opinion in the case Of
Barbara Saul and others against George
W. Hulick and others. in which the dis
position of the estate of Mrs. Rhodes who.
with her son, Eugene Rhodes, was drown
ed in the sinking of the steamer La Bre-
togne about five years ago. BY the terms
of her will Mrs. Rhodes bequeathed her
estate to her son with the provision that
should nc die before she did. the property
should revert to the Young Womens
Christian Home. After the death of Mrs.
Rhodes and her son the question was
raised as to which one of them died first,
ana in the contest oyer the disposition of
the estate gave ground for much specuia-
ton as to whether the mother or the son
actually met death first.
When the matter came up for hearing
in the Supreme Court of the District it
was decided that they both died at the
same time. and under the terms of the
viii it was determined that the property
left by Mrs. Rhodes should revert to
the Young Women's Christian Home The
heirs at law of Mrs Rhodes took an ap-
peal to the Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict, which reversed the decree of the
lower court and decided That the prop
erty should be disposed of by the admin
istrators of the estate of Eugene Rhodes
j. was also decided that the costs Of the
litigation shall be pain cut Of the fund in
dispute and that the matter be remanded
10 the lower court with directions TO enter
a decree in accordance with the decision
of the higher court.
IN the case Of the j. l.. Mott Iron
Works, of New York. against the Middle
States Loan, Building. and Construction
Company the decision reversed the judg-
ment of the lower court. The suit was
brought by the plaintiff to recover pay
ment for a certain number Of radiators
furnished for the Kent Flats, in north
east Washington. The defendant also
had claim for money loaned in connec-
ton with the completion Of the flats. The
Mott Iron Works. however. had secured
their claim by chattel deed on the prop
city. The Court of Appeals held that the
Mott Iron Works was entitled to their
radiators or pay for them. The piainlnl
was represented by Attorneys Walter V.
X. Berry and Joseph L. Collins.
In the case Of Philip Lindemeyer against
Ecmtnd Hoffman and Robert +. Trist. on
appeal from the Commissioner of Patents,
the decision appealed from was affirmed.
