many is considered to have a greater
voice, all things considered, than Games,
Calve or Sembrick. Her voice is mar
velously sweet, powerful and magnetic.
Her vigor for endurance is considered
the most remarkable of the operate
stars. For this reason 1t is said of her
that she never misses an engagement
she makes, never disappoints an audi
ence and is never anything less than
her complete self vocaily. And for this
reason, nearly every summer she is in
vited TO the Bayreuth festival to take
part in the Wagnerian series, the most
trying and exhaustive musical work in
the world There she is preferred above
all contraltos, and is considered perfec
ton in the heart-breaking intricacies

hauser.

WOULD MOVE LIBRARY
Mr.. Grafton FaVors Putting It on the
Third Floor of City Hall.

II. NJ. Grafton and ]. NJ. Martin, two
members of the library committee of the
board of education, have decided to urge
upon the city council q radical change in
the arrangement of the offices in the City
hall. They favor moving the public
school library and reading room from its
present location on the first floor above
ground to the third floor, and to move the
board of education rooms, the office of
superintendent Knight, and the office of
Secretary Caldwell to the place now oc-
cupied by the library and reading room
Speaking Of the matter yesterday. Mr..
Grafton said:
''Of course, if such a change should be
made it would be necessary to put an ele-
vator in the City building. but that IS
needed any way. l have talked to the
librarian about the matter, and she is in
favor Of the proposition. The present
reading room is too small. and besides,
there is no quiet there, for 1t is in the
same room as the library. If the library
were moved to the top floor, the room
formerly used for the city normal could
be used for the book room. The rooms
used for the board Of education meetings
and by Superintendent Knight could be
used for reading rooms as could also
the rooms used by Secretary Caldwell.
The room at present used for reading
room and a library room could be used
for the meetings of the board OF educa-
ton. and Superintendent knight could use
the room in the alcove. Secretary Cald-
well could have his office in the room
which the board of education would use
for its meetings.
Il have talked with Councilman David
son about the matter. and he is favorably
impressed with the plan
