PATHS FIRST CONCERT


'T paid Adelina Patti pound Of can
dy for singing at her first concert" said
Herman Grau, the Oldest operatic man
ager In America.
Little Miss Patti was at that time
seven years Of age. and her concert was
held in Willard's Hall. Washington. D. C.
'T was well acquainted with her parents.
They lived at that time on Tyenty-se:-
ond Street, between Eighth and Ninth
Avenues. They were very poor until the
little prima donna's singing brought them

Hermann Grau, who is to receive
benefit at the Grand Opera House this

Though England, in the opinion of her
statesmen. did a wise act in making an
alliance with Japan. on the continent of
Europe great many peor's are doubt
full OF the wisdom of that policy" said
Mr.. Z. Becker. of Berlin. at the Shore
ham.
Il know that in Germany a great deal
of adverse comment on the alliance has
been INDUCED in. The sentimental side of
the affair is that a white race should
never have gone into such a partnership
with a race that, no matter how ambi-
tious IL may be, and how rapid Its prog
ress OF late, is, after all. of different
stock and accustomed to be considered
for centuries as distinctly inferior to the
other party to the agreement. This, Of
course. obtrudes the color question, but

sentiment.

Brother Against Brother.

There are prospects of an inter ssting
campaign this fall in the First Con-
gressional district of Maryland. where
the Indications are that brother will be
pitted against brother for the honor OF
representing the Eastern Shore constitu-
ency. The present representative Is Hon.
w II. Jackson. who is again TO be can
didate on the Republican ticket, and it is
predicted that his opponent will be his
brother, ex- Gov. Z. E. Jackson.
Under normal conditions the district is
close, and II is said that this year, owing
TO the conditions which prevail, the
former governor will have somewhat the
advantage of his brother. Representa-
tive Jackson was himself once a Dem
ocrat but went over to. the Republican
fold several years ago. and his new politi
cal associates honored him with a seat in
Congress. Two years ago II is said Gov
ernor Jackson might have had the Dem
ocratic nomioation. brit he preferred not
TO run against mis- brother. Now he is
believed to have put aside that frateral
feeling sufficient to cross swords In politi-
cal combat with Representative Jackson.
Both men are wealthy and popular in
their district. and in case they are rivals
for Congressional honors there is prom

Always Ready to Oblige.

When Gen. Joe Wheeler of Alabama was

in Congress II was said Of him that
he knew personally nearly every
voter in his district. furthermore.
there was no more popular man in
the State of Alabama than the doughty
little general. One reason for his great
personal hold on his constituents was the
fact thai he never neglected TO answer

voter in his district. and the farmers
we're never neglected when it came to the
distribution OF seeds and public dncu-
men;s And this apI lies with full force
to Representative ID. Linn Gooch. of the

Mr.. Gooch has by far the heaviest mail

Upton. of Chicago at the Raleigh
II do not know what the future may
develop In the way Of aerial naviga-
tion, but have a profound respect for
any opinion advanced by Lord Kelvin.
He is one OF the first scientists of the
world. and is both philosopher and an
inventor. which is a rare combination.
Generally speaking, men who have dis
tinguished themselves by deep study OF
the underlying principles of nature are
but little developed on the utilitarian side,
or show but little mechanical ingenuity.
"On the other hand. those who are
cleverest in devising mechanical ap-
pliances seldom are heard Of among those
who engage in theoretical research. Lord
Kelvin. however, is famous in both de-
partments. In the practical line he has
overcome great obstacles in submarine

trical currents. built machine for meas

said Mr.. E. F. Blodgett. one of Atlanta's
prominent citizens. at the Raleigh.
II hardly think he will secure the nomi-
nation by such tactics. though he will
have the assistance Of the noted revival

Atlanta has the best regulated traffic

In the first place, saloons are restricted
to the business area of the city, and as
the tax is $1,000 year, the places are in
the hands Of a set of men who are in

The Revival of Lace-Making.

The making of Irish lace was re-
vived a few years ago by a titled
Englshwoman, just in time 10 save

the lady sought for teachers Of the

product OF their industry, and made IL
known among her friends that genu
| Inc Irish lace could be obtained there.
The demand has grown until it ex-
ceeds the supply.
II the man who makes two blades
OF grass grow where one was before
is benefactor to the human race,
surely the woman who saves valu-
able art from extinction is much more
of benefsctor. II there is one thing
which is badly needed In these days
of consolidation and machinery. it is
a market for handiwork of a semi
artistic order. The great disadvan-
tage of machine work, from a broadly
economic point of view, is that 1t is
apt TO degrade the intelligence Of the |
worker. Melody can repeat the same |
motion day after day, month after
month, year after year, for the great /
er part Of his waking hours, and not |
deteriorate in mental capacity, un-
less he has some outside interest to
relieve the monotony. Hence the /
unions are right in demanding short
hours for such work, that the laborer
may have time and strength for de-
veloping himself outside the factory.
In hand work of the old time kind
the same objection does not exist In
so great a degree. There is more va
riety In II, and II can be done al
home, where other interests and |
thoughts are combined with those OF
labor. In lace making, basket max
ing. embroidery, and such work, there
is also field for the designer. Such
arts should be preserved whenever
and wherever II is possible to do it.

Holland for the Beers.

THE people of Holland. said Mr.. c. Fl.
Lam. a tourist from Amsterdam. at the
Arlington, ''are greatly concerned about
the war in South Africa. Our sympathies
go out to the gallant Beers, who are max
ing as brave fight for liberty as is re
corded in history. We only wish that this
powerful Government, the United States,
would cease allowing England to use 1t
as base of supplies for its armies in the
Transvaal.
But even IL this cannot be stopped, the
Beers will never be vanquished. They
have right and justice on their side. and
sooner or later England will have to rec
ognize that they are unconquerable. Hol-
landers do not dislike the English people,
but 1t is the government of England that
they detest for its cruelties and injustice.

II pours Its volume down the aisle;
I! listen to the splendid rhyme
That with a melody sublime
Tells Of some far-off, fadeless CLINE
OF man and his fnality,
OF hope and Immortality.
o, theme of themes!
Are men mistausht?
Are hopes like dreams,
To come to naught?
Is all the beautiful and good
Delusive and misunderstood?
And has the soul no forward reach?
And do, indeed, the facts impeach
The theories the teachers teach?
And is this Immortality
Deiusion or reality7
What hope reveals
Mind tries to clasp,
But soon II reels
with broken grasp.
No chain yet forged on anvil's brink
Was stronger than Its weakest link;
And do not arguments maintain
That many links along the chain
Cannot resist a reason strain?
And is not Immortality
The child Of ideality?
And yet-at times
We get advice
That seems like chimes
From paradise;
The soul doth sometimes seem to be
In sunshine which 1t cannot see;
At times the spirit seems to roam
Beyond the land. above the foam,
Back to some half forgotten home.
Perhaps-this Immortality
May be. indeed, reality.
