the rejection Of the Russian demands. The

To the first clause the ministers replied
that II had not yet received imperial sane

to the third that the opening Of the ports
would depend on trade developments.
NJ. Plancon professed TO be satisfied, but
the Chinese are still uncomfortable, know

ing reporter wrote story about the
dog, the prima donna and her husband
which all three declared was positive
ly impudent, and since then the public
has known little about her pets.
A question which is being asked
alike by his friends and the public
with some interest is "Win CLYDE
Fitch, the playwright heed the advice
of his friends and the press and take
a long vacation?" This is deemed of
such Importance that one of the New
York papers has devoted two columns
or more of supposedly valuable space
to its discussion. The grounds on
which the rest is advised are that Mr..
Fitch has been producing so much
that his later productions have been
much worse than those of an earlier
date.
On the surface it might seem that
this is true, since. had his plays been
written at the rate of their stage pro-
duction, he would have put out one
every few weeks for the last year, but
this is not the case. Mr.. Fitch told Il
friend, recently, that the actual writ
ing of each of these plays has taken
about a year. The same is true of all
his productions, the total number of
them being almost exactly the same
as the number of years since he be-
gan as a successful playwright.
Mr.. Fitch holds, and scrutiny of the
newspaper files shows, that ever since
his first success the newspapers have
always said that his work was falling
off, While as to his first success, if the
newspapers had been right, it wouldn't
have been a success at all, but a fail
ure. It's singular, but a fact, that no
other playwright has had to bear half
so much criticism, and even ridicule,
as Clyde Fitch. Yet he has done so
we'll that he is to-day the richest play
maker in America, if not in the world.
The truth is that the criticisms, many
more than half of them, and all the
ridicule, have been inspired by certain
unfortunate manneriSms of Mr.. Fitch
-mannerismS which he can no more
do away with nor materially modify
than he can fly. AS to his needing a
rest, those who really know him best
say that what he needs most is
thicker skin, the better to withstand
the ill-natured things the papers say

good stories" concerning him. Save
among the Philharmonic Society folks,
some of whom declare that he is over
bearing and domineering, he is excep-
tonally popular. But few or none are
able TO tell anecdotes about him that
show human side. 1t is different with
most of the opera stars.
OF Madame Eames-Story, who is now
out of it" in opera for some time,
through her attempt to sing a role to
which her voice was not suited, they
say that under no circumstances Will
she consent to the use of her name In
advertisements or on programmes ex-
cept as Madame Emma Games. So
cially she likes to be known as printed
above, but professionally she must be
called Emma Eames or she won't sing,
so now.
In this she is unlike nearly all the
other prima donnas. Marcella Sem
brich is contented to see her name
printed mere "Sembrich," and Melba.
Nordica and the others are content
with the use of the last name only.
Adelina Patti used to be billed with
her first name invariably, but that was
because she had a sister, also a singer
of note, named Carlotta. She disap-
peared some years ago, and in the later
years of Adelina's singing the magic
name Patti was enough. There is one
prima donna besides Eames who insists
on the use of her full name and she is
American like Eames-Suzanne Adams.
Next to her music and her husbands

Hiram Story, the eminent sculptor, you
remember, and himself a sculptor of

greatest delight is fine dog, and she
always possesses a canine pet upon
which she lavishes much time and at
tention.
Possibly it is the cantatrice's pet that
is more responsible than anything else
for the lack of enthusiasm displayed in
his art by her husband of late years.
Anyway, he hasn't "sculpted" anything
worth while for a long time, and it is
matter of record, as it was at one time
of newspaper notoriety. that his daily
duties included the regular exercising of
his wife's dog for two or three hours
