MUSIC
Artists with Patti.

While Patti will always be Patti and
occupy place in the hearts Of the Amer
ican corcert-going public which probably
no other diva will ever be able to fill. and
while 1T will be she and practically no one
else that the people of the northwest will
| go to hear in the International auditorium
4 Dec. 30, the management has seen fit to
| send out with her on this, her final tour
| OF America, an unusually strong support
| ing company.
Patti will sing as she has always sang,
those things which she has done so much
| to make permanently popular, and she
will be compelled, as she always is, to
| respond to from six to eight encores. But
during the time when she is not on the
stage there will be offered artists whose
skill Will not cause greater comment only
because 1t is with Patti that they are
appearing.
Among the artists which Robert Grau
! engaged to accompany the great diva on
this final tour of America which she has
| not visited for seventeen years, are Mile.
.Roza Zamels, pupil of the master Ysaye
and yioliniste of peculiar promise; Mile.
| vera .Margolies, who has been a favorite
among the London pianists for several
seasons; Anton Hegner, the 'cellist whose
fame is international Willard Virgo,
whose pure tenor has captured the ca
Ipricious British public and who is dupli-
eating In America his London successes.
and Claude Cunningham, the favorite
| barytone of the Carl Rosa Opera company.
This strong supporting company is un-
der the musical leadership of Ronualdo
Sapio, the well-known maestro" who has
been with Patti for several seasons and
who has conducted much Of the New York
Metropolitan opera-house production
The queen of song as Patti has been
called for SO many years, returned to
America with assurances from the highest
English sources that her voice had all the
4 charm of the olden days and that her
singing was still the marvel of the time.
This verdict of the English critics has
been supported almost without exception
by the critics in the eastern cities which
Patti has already visited on her tour, and
| goes to show that her career has been
a remarkable yindication of the claim that
natural voices. well placed and well
trained, do not go to pieces under the
strain and stress of work, but rather i'm
prove and gain by constant, judicious use
1t cannot be said, however that the
american public has paid much attention
J. to criticisms. favorable or adverse, o1
the great PATHS voice. They are attend
ing her concerts on this tour in far great
1 er numbers than they ever did before, anl
have enabled her to- sing to larger houses
i than she has ever sang to on previous
tours. The passing years seem to. have
| had no effect but to increase her popu.
| larity.

tition with st. Louis in their efforts, and
1t was only q lucky arrangement of rail-
way schedules which gave Minneapolis the
advantage. Mr.. Martin is considered the
peer of Joseph Baernstein, whose singing
OF this role is unsurpassed, and his Mime
apolis audience will be interested in the
comparison.
The Philharmonic club announces cllo-
rus of 800 voices for this Christmas pro-
duction, and men and women of religious
temperament will find the purest spiritual

sic, on the celebration Of the birthday of

FOR STAMP COLLECTORS

There are said to be 1898 different
postage stamps in existence, not
counting varieties Of shades, paper or
watermarks.
The first two-cent United States en-
velope was issued in 1863 1t mad the
words ''U. S. Postage" in the label, and
the head of Jackson. In 1864 this was
changed to read "U. S. Post" in the
upper label. Each kind was printed
on both buff and orange paper, and
there were two dies of each year. In
1868 one die has the figure 80" smaller
than the other, and in 1864, one die is
two MN. wider than the other.
Stamps have ceased to be certificates
of postage paid" long ago. Numerals
have disappeared and an occasional re-
appearance of these artless stamps
has been scO1ned more or less. All the
countries of the globe contend in beau
tiful artistic designs not only, but let
their stamps speak To the world. They
present their famous men. they tell
us about their change of rulers or the
mode of government, or of their
botany or commerce, and they an
nounce to the general public of the
world great events as happenings in
their countries.
Our philatelists will be interested to
hear that in France a complete new
series of stamps is to be issued early
in 1903 and that the standard design
will be the same as on the new French
coinage. This compliment TO NJ. Roty,
the designer of the new coinage, was
accompanied by the offer of a large
fee for the use Of the design on the
stamps, but he was so pleased with
the tribute 70 his artistic abilities that
he declined to accept any further re-
muneratiOn. 1t is learned that the
reason for the new series, while based
on the desire for an artistic improve
ment on the present one, has actual
ly been brought about by the public's
constant complaints against the vel
low ID centime (three cents) stamps.
which are used for ordinary letters
IN France, be their destination local
or in the most distant corner of the
country. Vast numbers OF the square
envelopes used by French business
people are yellow and the stamps were
Of so much the same bilious hue that
constant petty annoyance was the re-
suit.
