for realization unless I studied medicine,
surgery in particular. 1 was thirty-five
years old then and needed at least years
preparation to fit myself for the university
There were five or six years more of study
drawbacks which caused me to seek advice
beforehand with the foremost surgeons of
Italy, living at the time. He listened with
a good natured smile on his fine face. and
when 1 got through patted me on the
shoulder and said:
VERY interesting. Signor, only am get
ting too old to experiment with these new
tangled things. But here is an introduction
to Colleague of mine, who will doubtless
help you to achieve your goal
UNAPPRECIATIvE OF GENIUS.
HE scrubbed something on a card, ad-
dressed same and led me to the door which
he locked with great care. The letter Of
recommendation was addressed to the
director of the city insane asylum. That
made me angry and 1 resolved to carry my
point. this surgical ignoramus notwith-
standing. After nine months, was study
ing medicine at the Bologna University and
three years afterwards was appointed as
sistant to an authority on diseases of the
throat. In that capacity / gained the long
sought-for experience and. what was as
good, my previous theories and convictions
were strengthened by what 1 saw and
heard.
1.-Two years ago / started my first at
tempt at voice treating, a good natured
friend lending himself for that purpose. /
experimental with him for five months and
then had to give up. The practical value Of
my theories, it seemed was nil. 1t was
worse-instead Of improving my patients
voice, it made II hoarse and hard. How
ever, am happy to say. he soon got over
these i'll effects and his normal voice re-
turned.
Disappointed as was, in the end prof
tied by this experience. for observation
taught me that the surgical operation 1
deemed the alpha and omega of my method
counted for little unless assisted by musical
exercise and methodical massage Of the
vocal cords.
The next subjects on whom experimental
were Signor Buetti and Signora Schalcha,
who are at liberty to describe my method to
all interested. AS to medical gentlemen,
refer them to professional notes, photo
graphs photograph records, ETC., soon to
be published in a medical journal. All 1
care to say to-day is that my surgical OPP
erations were principally on the vocal cords.
1 changed that apparatus, complex of
structure as to defy description, in several
places. allowing 1T to lengthen here and
again cutting it down somewhere else. And
while the small wounds were healing
once more turned teacher and taught my
patients the best method of singing / know
of. Simultaneous with the operations, ETC..
was methodical and peculiar massage of
the larynx and the vocal cords.
1.-THE whole process lasted about three
months. Since then the signor and signora
have been taking singing lessons with me;
the rest you know. l repeat that all the
records of the case are at the disposal of
the medical fraternity"

Mrs. Elizabeth Custer, the widow of Gen.
eral George A. Custer, was in Washington
recently, and met a number of her old
friends, some of whom served in the old
Seventh Cavalry, which Custer, as lieuten-
ant colonel. commanded. Mrs. Custer was
here trying to befriend some men who were
friends of her husband. one an old sergeant
who was ont of employment She is still
decidedly young looking woman, and with
out knowing her exact age. one must con-
slider that she was old enough to marry
during the civil war. AS matter Of fact
Custer, a leave in the winter of 1863
met his future wife in Michigan. In Feb
ruary, 1864, they were married She came
TO Washington with him. and accompanied
him to the front, when he went through
the great campaign of that year. Custer
was then brigadier general of volunteers
having received that grade when he was
only twenty-three years old. He was
brevetted major general. but in the regu-
lar army he was never more than a lieuten-
ant colonel. Had he lived he would still
be the active list, with a lieutenant
generals commission in sight as soon as
Miles retires.

HUMBERT CASE HAS
 LOST ITS INTEREST
ON ACCOUNT OF EXCITEMENT OVER THE TUNNEL cATAsTRo. PIE CROWDS SHOWED LITTLE BRIGHTNESS TO HEAR EVIDENCE

Paris, August 1.-The Humbert trial was resumed today. M. Parmentier. the lawyer who used to represent the Craw- ford brothers in their suits. was examin- ed and said that Henry Crawford en- gagged him in October, 1885, as his law yer. Henry told him that one of his rel atives died at Nice, leaving the bulk of his fortune to Madame Humbert, but a second will was discovered. changing the disposition of the inheritance.
 M. Parmentier gave details of the com plieated litigation. maintaining his belief that the Crawford brothers actually ex- isted. Madame Therese frequently inter- rupted the proceedings, denying certain of M. Parmentier's statements. Little interest was taken in the case today owing to the tunnel catastrophe.
 Several witnesses were called who tes- tt1ed that they had seen the Crawfords. 1.ecomte, a bailiff, testified that he had served papers upon the two brothers. Henri and Robert, saying that they did not resemble Romain and Emil D'Aurig- nae, Madame Humberts brothers. He stoutly resisted the view of the court that members of the Humbert family had impersonated the Crawfords.

to 400 miners. There is a varying propor- tion of whites and negroes at different mines. l think they are about equally divided. Negroes would have less money and for a shorter time under seml- monthly pay day system, The average miner works twenty to twenty-one days. Many of the negroes don't average fifteen days in a month. They could work every day but Sundays if they wanted 10. On trading days we only get about 50 per cent of our normal output We cannot run the mines because the men won't go to work. They do their trading on the day nearest the first that they get ready. They get orders covering amounts due them.
 sloss-sheffleid Pay Roll.
 Our monthly pay rolls amount to some thing like 5000 and the clerical work is severe We have tried to stop trading day Most miners take advantage of all holidays Miners don't do as much weris as formerly In January and Apri, 1sso, S71b cents per ton was paid and on an av- craze ten men dug 9o9 tons of coal making twenty-three days and making an average of s330: forty men made an average of $276 per day. In 1898 the Brazil mines were six years old
 Since 1898 Sloss coal has more thin coal at Blossburg than formerly. I think we had about 250 men at East Brazil and think the ten men show fair average. To take all the 250 men It would make a very volumnous record. These ten men were the best men, that s they were the men who worked most regularly In April, 1901, at 45 cents per ton. ten men aver aged 21.s days and mined Al tons, making an average of $29l Forty men averaged 159 tons and earned an average of $3.56
 A. duction was 154 tons for forty men and the average earnings were $3.eO per day. Sloss- Sheffield company are operating more mines than ever before and mined 3OO,00O tons more last year than in any previous year.
 The rate of cutting coal has increased 50 per cent since 1898, and the decreased production per man causes an increase in the cost of production per ton. A miner stated at one of our mines that the men were getting too large earnings on the pay rolls. They could never get an in- crease. He made this speech three years ago
 Mir. Fairley aslxs-Did any responsible man among the miners ever make such a statement under the sliding scale?
 Mir. Mcqueen answered-A sliding downward scale went into effect in 1894 from 45 cents to 371k cents, and in 1898 we reduced the minimum.
 Cross-qnestioned by MT. Lewis-The av- erages I have given were based on the ten men who worked most steadily. When they worked a less number of days in any month I don't know why they lost the time. We have ten mining camps and have stores within reach of all our camps. The statement made of our store profits included all stores belonging to rtri.- oRt to any of our stores We give just as much on a time check as for cash It is practically a cash basis We get every thing at jobbers prices. Only salaries are expenses. We sell as cheaply as any av- craze store. We don't trade In our own time checks.

ALL GOES PARKs.WARD.
His Vigilaut Counsel Invariably sustai ned by
The Court
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct 29.-The trial of Samuel
j. Parks, walking delegate of the House
smiths and Bridgemen's Union No. on
the charge of extortion, probably will be
concluded tomorrow.
Parks was a witness today. While he
admitted that a great deal of the testl-
mony given by the witnesses for the pros
ecution was true, he testified that many
of the accusations made against him were
misrepresentation of fact. Two or three
times Assistant District Attorney Rand
by severe cross fire of questions appar-
emily had Parks in an awkward place, but
Mr.. Osborne and the other lawyers for
the defense were very watchful and their
persistent objections to leading questions
were invariably sustained by the court.
Parks made no secret of his having re-
ceived the $500 from the complaining wit
nesses, but he insisted that this money
was paid in legitimate business transac-
ton with the Tiffany studios, the corpor-
alton on the complaint of which Parks in
dctment in this case was secured.
Parks while in poor health, seemed to
be full of energy throughout today's or
deal Several times the prosecuting law
yer attempted to get on record the fact
that Parks had bank account of a mag
nitude beyond the possibilities of an ordi-
nary mechanic, but each attempt was ever
ruled or cut short through the strenuous
efforts of counsel for the defense
The line of defense was uncovered when
Parks, in answer to Mr.. Osborne's ques-
tions, said that he paid the $500 to Treas
urer Johnson, of the union. Mr. Osborne
dramatically called upon Johnson to stand
up
Mr. Osborne said: Stand there where
we can see YOU and then turning to the
witness. asked: rs this the man to whom
you paid the S500?"
Parks was about to reply when Assistant
Attorney Rand objected and Parks was
not allowed to answer.
Parks denied absolutely that he ordered
any strike in the Tiffany case or that he
knew anything of it, and said that the fine
was imposed because the firm was on re
cord as a non-union firm. The Tiffany
fee. he said, was levied by the association
and he told Frazee that it would place
the firm ON record as union firm with
all large contractors in the city.
Parks admitted that during the eight
years that he had lived in New York he
had no other means of support than his
position as walking delegate.

He Tolls Over His Sermons AMI They Also
Toll Who bear Him
(By Lac discounted Press }

New York, Oct 29.-At the early morn
ing service today John Alexander Dowie
announced TO his followers another cru
SADIE. He told his host to return to Zion
City and save their money against the eX-
penses of another crusade, because the
good work Of spreading the restoration
message was going to be carried far and
vide
Before he appeared on the platform at
the noon meeting, it was announced that
fifty converts had been secured during the
campaign OF the Zionists in this city and
that they would be baptized on Sunday.
Concerning Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst,
Dowie said:
There's that miserable Parkhurst. He
tolls over his sermons and his hearers toll
While listening to them. 1 have made up
my mind that Parllhurst is not worth
powder and shot. He never in his life ad-
dressed as many people as l addressed in
one week l never heard that DR.. Park
hurst had to get the police to keep people
out of his church as they have to do at
my meetings.
What do I care what they say about
me. Bah, l preach to more than a mil
lion every week. I've had pretty good
time in New York, but there is better
time coming"
