GREATEST LABOR SAVING DEVICE

When people use the expression
labor saving device" they naturally
think of the sewing machine, OF the
linotype, or some other mechanical
contrlvance for the suplanting Of hand
labor.
Not often If asked to name the
P-eatest labor saver known to man,
would they mention the steam rail
road, compared with which all other
labor saving devices are insignificant.
AS long ago as 1856 a government
statistician estimated that without
railroads an equivalent amount OF
land transportation could not be OBJ
tanned for a less ANNUAL cost than s11,-
600 100000; while the railroads did
the work for something under ST.
600 100000 The clear saving to the
country was, therefore. about $1O-
OOO, 100000 annually--an amount equal
to the value of the products of the
United States, exclusive Of duplica-
luon.
Since the time the work done by
the railroads has increased nearly 200
per cent while the expenses have In
creased only about 50 per cent.
According to statistics. recently pre-
pared by Carroll ID. Wright, commits
sioner of labor, there are now in the
United States 10000 locomotives; and
t. do the work Of these locomotives
on the common roads of the coun-
try wuld require s1Os,caO,OOO horses
and 27,O0O,OOO men.
The railroad is certainly the great
est labor saving device known to man.

THAT PORTO RIcAN SCANDAL.

The authorities at Washington will

It seems that Henry L.oomis Nelson,
a correspondent Of the boston Herald
has discovered" that Bryan is the
man who is chiefly responsible for the
16 10 / plank in the Democratic plat
form Of 1896. "Mr. Bryan" according
to this parsonage. played the role OF
an opportnnist in 1896. In that cam
paign he deliberately chose the free
coinage ie to J issue because he
thought there We're more votes in Il
than there were in the tariff The
written evidence of the deliberaiion
of this choice is stil in existence, or
was few months ago"
There are several facts which knock
out this theory that Bryan dictated
the free silver issue. The platform
was framed before the balloting took
place for the candidate. Bland, and
not Bryan. led in the balloting at the
start Bland did as much as any other
one man In the country TO make free

RELATED PRIMA DONNiS.
Nine. Calve Is Lingering In Paris and Nine
eink In Germany.

Emma Calve is not to come to this country
until later than the other prima donnas
She Is to sing this fall in Paris--Lot at the
Opera, nor at the Opera Comique, where she
has hitherto appeared, but at an institution
called the Open Populare. 1t is private
enterprise and its company is to include,
in addition to Nine. Calve. the portly Lit
vinne who is remembered here.
Nine. Calv6 is to sing for the first time in
Massenets "Hcrodiade," in which it was
repeatedly announced that she was to
appear here. But she never would, and
when Manager Conried cleaned from under
the old Metropolitan stage the piles OF
scenery that had accumulated there, among
the lot was the scenery for this opera, which
had been painted three years ago and stored
away, never to see the light.
Finally, Nine. Calve has decided that
she really will sing the opera, and has
selected this new Paris opera house, which
has been very successful, and has enlarged

ventioned operate theatres as the first
field in which to be heard in it.

was courageou enough to cable the news
to her mana ger in this country, that he might
spread it abroad. Most singers at the End
OF their first quarter of century prefer
to have the matter kept quiet.
Before she comes here, in January, Nine.
Schumann-Heink is going to sing in con-
cert in Europe. Over here she is to sing
every day, and sometimes twice a day, for
two months. Only voice tried with a
quarter OF a oentury's use could survive
such treatment
Nine. Eames did not go to Berlin to take
part In the Wagner monument dedication,
as the whole affair turned out rather insig-
niicant. Even Nine. Gadsh, who lives
In Berlin, refused to sing because the con-
cert in which she was invited to take part
was held In a music hall.
Nine. Eames declined earlier. She wns
not going to Germany from her great love
of Wagner so much as to make first ap-
pearance in Germany under the best aus
pices, and the festival concert was not
that sort of a place Nine. Eames has
never yet sung in Germany because her
repertoire does not attract the managers
She will probably rest all winter and will
first appear during the Covent Garden
season in London next May.

DOTBLE CHANCE FOR KOGEL.
He viii Conduct Two Concerts OF the
Philhar monte Society.

Only one of the conductors imported
by the Philharmonic Society is going to
have a chance to show his quality at two
concerts. This is Gustav Kogcl who has
for twelve years conducted the Museum
concerts at Frankfort. All the other can
didates for the vacant post Of conductor
of the orchestra must ST and or fall by one
attempt.
Herr Kogel's father was for years promi-
neDt member of the Gewandhaus Orches-
ira in Ieipsic Of which Arthur Nikisch,
the only conductor of note not TO lie here
this winter. is the present head. The
younger Kogel was born in 1910 and began
his musical career by singing in tho Rein
del Schengcsang Verein, which accepted
him aa an altar boy when he was H.
When he was older he studied music at
the famous conservatory at Leipsic with
pupils. He conducted an overture Of bis
own while he was there, and went in 1881
to the Opera House in Ghcnt.
He was for a while at x-lnChapelle,
then at Cologne and finally went to Leipsic,
where he was in the conductors chair for
three wears. He then went 10 Berlin TO
have charge of the Philharmonic Orohes-
ira, and for four years was associated with
Hans Won Buelow, who obtained for him
the post Of conductor at Frankfort
