first advice to every student of singing
who comes to her is to learn some instru-

greatest assistance to a singer. She has
sung now since 1881, and unlike many
other great singers, served no obscure APP

the world after she had been heard for
a year in Dresden. She is now forty

Mile. Emma Calve is particular about
the title prefixed to her name, because
she is almost the only woman among ar

She has been in bad health for two years.
She has become interested in the teach
ings of Buddhism and determined that a
pilgrimage to India would do more than
anything else to restore her health. Doc

treatment and decided 10 go to India with

She may have found there the relief she
was seeking. and If that was to be had
from devotion to the Eastern PHILOSOPHERS,
the singer must have accomplished her
purpose. She began the study of them
with the enthusiastic interest she shows to
every new subject that absorbs her. And
how completely engrossed she is in every
new interest! Three years ago she de-
cided to ask to her country home GER

captured the opening event. and up'to the
ninth frame being away ahead of the Chris

game that it seemed they were in a rut.
The result was, however. greatly different
from what it appeared on the surface as
likely to be, for the association suddenly
woke up and captured the game. later add

OCEAN COAL GLUTTONS,
Speed Depends on the Consumption of
the Black Diamonds.
From Casters Magazine.

From Casters Magazine
In the last ten years the race for the
transatlantic record has been far more in
teresting than at any other period, for it
has been in this decade that the great coal
burners have been built. 1t is also the
"twin-screW period" Of ocean navigation
and with the twin screws have come great
er speed, more and heavier engines, and
corresponding increase of boiler power The
American liners Paris and New York were
the first to embody the new and radical de-
partures from the old methods of shipbuiid-
ing and in many respects they marked
an entirely new era in shipbuiding. They
were. from the first, brilliant successes in
speed and seaworthiness, but they were also
responsible for a new era of coal consuup-
ton that has at last brought the steam
ship companies to the point where they
are anxiously looking for some let-up. The
Paris soon broke the record from New York
to Queenstown, making the trip in much
less than six days at an average speed Of
twenty knots an hour The Teutonic and
Majestic. which followed, though larger in
every way, were slower in speed and less
expensive In operating. With only 5000
indicated horse power, against the 20.O0D Of
the Paris, the Teutonic consumes only 30U
tons of coal per day to develop her 191a

The two magnificent steamers of the Gun.
ard company, the Lucania and the Cam
pania which soon followed the launching
of the American liners, established new
ocean records and new coal-conSuming fig
ures. The Campana, with 1900 tons dis
placement, had 10000 horse power, and de-
veloped a speed Of % knots, with a daily
coal consumption of about 415 tons. The
modern coal gluttons were in full force by
this time, and the steamship companies had
to confess that the lowering of the record
meant not only larger ships, but heavier
coal cost. The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
of the North German Lloyd Steamship
Company was built lines which fully
recognized this fact. She Is twenty-six feet
longer than the Campania, one foot great
err in beam and has 1000 tons more dis
placement. Her fastest trip was made at
an average speed Of 22.79 knots. covering
in one period Of twenty-four hours $50

charged William Sippey. bookmaker, and
Jack Sheehan, a tipster. with being the
prime movers in the scheme to have the
cross-country mare Isen pulled. No action
was taken by the officials, who are still at
work on the scandal
Dean claims that he overheard Sippey
and Sheehan talking about the race in a
Saloon-that Sippey told Sheehan he would
LAY against Isen and that he would give
up half the money he took In provided
Sheehan could guarantee the horse would
lose Sheehan promised to look into the
matter, Dean said, and left Sippey with
that understanding.
Dean took advantage Of the conversation
he said he overheard and went to Charles
Brolaski. another bookmaker, with his
story. BrolaSid got Dean to watch Sippey
during the betting on the race. Dean
claims that Sippey opened up his odds
against 1sen at 8 to s. but the money did

Dean to go out and see LaWless. lSen's

lieve by Lawless that everything was all
right for the mare to lose. He came back
and reported to Brolaski to that effect.

that Steve LHommedieu came into the
game. Steve thought Isen an even-money
chance. and he could not understand the
big price against her. He desired to back
her. but before putting down dollar he
saw Tom Costello, Tsen's owner, who said
the mare could not lose, barring an acct
dent, and advised IrHommedieu to- bet on
her, as he would get IA run for his money
L'Hommedeu placed q good bet on Isen.
and Lawless, knowing 1t would be to his
advantage to ride the mare out, went on
and won with her =iig -Dff.
