Ers. Eleanor Cleaver, who gave song recital in
Eendelssohn Hall last night is the possessor Of
opulent contralto voice which has been trained in
q commendable manner. and which would benefit
by additional attention from good master. She is
opulent in figure also. and, often happens in
such cases. betrays a scantness Of breath. which
interferes with her tasteful and intelligent nten-
tons. The voice is large in volume. beautiful in
quality and capacious in expression. The lady's
singing gives much pleasure now, despite some

avoidance OF the forcing process which is leading
her into temptation, and wise cultivation of her

THE WORK OF THE "TTPSTER."
AN EXAMPLE OF THE TRUsTwoRTHINEss
OF HIS WARES.

From time 70 time the accurately and conser-
by theatrical press agents have received their full
need OF praise in the columns Of an appreciative
press. The ways Of the men whose calling it is TO
contribute 70 enduring literature write ups of the
doiugs Of stage people have been talked about and
written about much Of late that they are not
past understanding
There IS another calling, business that has
raeny features IN common with that Of the press
agent and that IS the business Of the professional
newspaper "tipster." His wares quite as reli-
able as those Of the press agent. Speaking OF
rerlty perhaps II would be better to disclose the
real facts concerning this ally If the newspaper

Offices. picking up scraps Of news and forwarding

This eulogy Of the 'tipster' prompted by the

AN UNFAILING SIGN.
SMOKING CARS GIVE HOPE THAT SPRING is
HERE.

SMOKING CARS GIVE HOPE THAT SPRING Is
HERE.
Three signs taken by the average New
Yorker as indicative OF the approach OF spring.
First of course, the initial song Of the robin.
10 whose call the younger and more fancy free
respond. Then there is the soft balm in the air
which calls out in full force the bench warmers
OF the city parks. These signs are but weak and
far off echoes of the approaching season of mild
ness 1t is only when the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company takes official cognizance of the
coming of the spring when the New-Yorler sees
the first open on its Broadway run. that he
credits the signs of spring which abroad.
The robin may sing too soon, the balny weather
NAV vanish in untimely billiards., but, once out
the omen cars go forever.
II was the sight of some fifty of these cars
Yesterday that awakened true joy In the heart Of
the smoker. For months he has been obliged
reluctantly 20 discard his cherished Havana he
entered a Yesterday he settled back in a
seat and blissfully watched the sunlit sidewalks
through thin blue haze OF smoke. But his
ancient foe the woman who rides in the smoking
seats and bitterly assails him, forth too with
ali her bundles. Plentiful also those with
colds who got on the open cars by mistake and
rallied against the corporation with bitter invec-
tive. But the long and the short. the wicked
and the good, the smoker and the anti-nicotine
fanatics settled back and stretched out in the
seats of the open cars, despite the dust despite
side streets. there was look of happiness In
every face. For single day the coming of the
open brought happiness to the hearts OF the
winter wearied citizens.
