ROSE CECILIA DIDN'T SING.
Grand Opera Presented to Largo Au'
dience at Theatre.

Rose Cecilia Shay, whose attractive
features and form have ornamented
the bill boards and whose fame has
filed the press notices IS the bright,
particular star of the Gordon.Shay
Opera Co., did not appear in I'll
Trovatore" last Friday. What's more
she did not intend to sing any Of the
time. She does not appear in the
cast Of I'll Trovstore" as printed in
advance and did not sing in it at
Hutchinson. The fact is she only
sings four times a week. Manager
Seelye tried to induce her to appear
after the company arrived but
couldn't make it. One Of the show
managers made curtain talk saying
Miss Shay had intended to sing but
could not and all who wished might
get their money back. That was
probably the talk they usually give.
The company is also shy about 10 on
the "5O.odd" people advertised.
But nobody wanted any money
back. The presentation OF the opera
was in every way competent and sat-
isfactory, far exceeding anything ever
given here. The special scenery ard
costumes together with the excellent
solo and chorus work we're praised by
a discriminating audience that was
the largest Of the season.
While EloiSe Bishop as "Azucena"
scored a distinct triumph Madame
Noldi as "Leonora" divided honors in
the public favor. James Stevens who
we'll rendered the part OF "Count DE

HERE'S ANDY's CHANCE.
Abilene an Educational Mecca Which
Carnegie Should Favor.

Various attempts have been made
by our enterprising citizens to turn
the tide Of industrial activity toward
this city. The surrounding hills
have been tapped but fortunately
failed to furnish anything mere harm
full than water. Abilene should offer
higher inducements to prospective
citizens than the institution Of a game
Of grab and greed. Let us turn away
from the rutted road OF commercial
ism to one unique in its Loneliness and
make this great educational mecca.
This is pre.eminently a city Of
homes. 1t needs only some controlling
elements to centralize thought upon
Its desirability as aplace Of residence.
The intense interest manifested by
the people Of Kansas in education,
furnishes the key to the situation.
Modernize our system Of education
to meet the demands Of the age and
our streets will extend north and
south and east and west, not by the
addition OF the modest huta hidden in
the smoke Of the furnace, but by
stately edifces that shall be fair in
dices to the quality Of the citizenship
that shall inhabit them.
The time is peculiarly opportune
for such venture. The demand Tor
diffusion OF the practical into our
education is pronounced. The ques.
ton that conirouts the young man or
young woman at the portals 10 every
occupation or profession is What
can you doP" This country is ripe
for a re.statement Of the reasons for
an education. The hope Of
avoiding manual labor must give

WHAT on. NAN SACRIFICED.
Rev. F. Bergssresssr Might Have
Been Army Chaplain.

Topeka Capital: An extract from
an address entitled Sacrifices ofsa
Mason" delivered BY Thomas E.
Dewey, Of Abilene, at the recent
Scottish Rite meeting at Wichita
"ln closing, let me tell you q story
OF our own times. A short time ago
Senator Burton received from the
president a personal note stating that
be desired to appoint an army chap
lain from Kansas, and requested the
senator to make q recommendation;
that be desired young man who was
q Christian and a geutleman--on
who could do good to the men in line
and not be out Of place at an officers
mess. The senator handed it to me
with the request that take it around
to the young pastor OF our church,
the Rev. Bergstresser; who, by the
way, is grand chaplain Of the grand
lodge, and offer him the place. | did
so, and told him to think about it
over night and let US know about it
in the morning. | suggested that it
was worth $1,000 a year. which was
$500 more than he was getting; that
it would settle for life the question Of
bread and butter and clothing, and
eliminate all the usual church troubles
that bigoted men and weak women
can instigate. ! pictured TO him all
the delights of army life, social and
otherwise, with the pension for old
age and protection for the widow and
children. The next morning he came
in, laid the presidents letter on my
desk, and said it was not for him.
That was all, and who will doubt but
that his is among the names Of those
who love the Lord and those who love
their fellow men. My brethren, a
sacrifice SO complete as that is one Of
the rare things Of earth, and great
will be the reward. In great SER
mon on The Joy Of Self Sacrifice,
Phillips Brooks said: Only the soul
that with an overwhelming impulse
and a perfect trust gives itself up for.
ever to the life Of other men, finds the
delight aud peace which such self.
surrender has to give The lesson
Tor US is that a full and over. messur.
ing performance Of duty Is the beau.

No Town Hall.

It is with regret that we announce
that the generous offer Of I. G.
Spooner relative to the rebuilding OF
the Spooner Block as a town hall was
not accepted. The committee ap-
pointed to solicit the necessary funds
put in a good deal Of time last week
calling on the business men, but
found that only about 81 coo could
be raised. When this fact was re-
ported to Mr.. Spooner, he offered to
extend the time during which the
money should be raised, but the
committee decided that further effort
was hopeless, and later SO reported to
the council.
The building will be erebuilt as ssoon
as possible by Mr.. Spooner, special
attention being givin to constructing
almodeI lodge hall on the second
floor.

swedtsh TITLES.

One of the old customs is for people
to Indicate their business upon their
visiting cards. You will receive the
card of Lawyer Jones or Banker Smith
or Notary johnson or Music Professor
Brown or Grosserer (Which means
wholesale merchant) Furgeson or Geol-
ogist Thompson, and il a man ever
held an Office it is customary to indi-
cate that fact upon his card. y burgo-
master is always a burgomaster a con-
sui is always consul and an alderman
always an alderman. The prefxes
"Hon" and "Mr." are seldom used. and
the title, whether commercial or pro-
fessional. is observed in conversation
in the same way. 1t would sound rath-
er queer for any one in the United
States ito ask, Wholesale Merchant
MacVeagh, will you kindly pass the.
butterY' or Banker Hutchinson, will
you escort Frau Board of Trade Oper-
ator Jones to the table?" or Director
of Music Ziegfeld, | wish you good
day?' but that is the custom in Swe-
den, and it is observed by children as
well as grown people. A lisping child
will approach a guest, make a pretty,
little bob courtesy and say, Good
morning, Chief Justice of Supreme
Court Smith," or Good night, Repre-.
sentative In Congress Brown"
1t is customary also for ladies to
print their maiden names upon their
visiting cards in smaller type under
their married names, particularly il
they have a pride of family and want
people to know their ancestry. Chica<

Years ago theater was situated

but now demolished public resort in
the north Of London. There the
proprietor, who played comedy parts,
gave an actor, also funny man, "

ting on an air Of indignation, in
quired Why he was discharged.
"WeH, you see, Jones, replied
the proprietor bluntly, you're a bad
comedian"
SEFh, what ~ exclaimed Jones. .If
I'm a bad comedian, SO are you
very bad COMEDIAN
"Ah, rejoined the proprietor,
that's what it is, Jonesi The audi
