day, caused by the illness of one OF
the Swan Hill ice oompany's horses.
The horses were being driven by Mr..
Mount when one of them, a fine iron
grey horse, fell down. 1t was gotten
up on its feet again and driven as far
as Henry street and Broadway, stag
gering from weakness and almost
striking a telephone pole, when it
again fell down and could not be
gotten up again. 1t lay there several
hours while certain ones administer
ed treatment, apparently without
avail. One man was so certain that
the horse could be saved that he offer
ed $50 for it, which offer was not
accepted. The horse died in the
afternoon, so if the offer was made in
good faith as reported, the one who
refused may regret it.

Singing for the Phonograph.

"Once in while" said the manager
of public phonograph concern, 1--WE
can persuade man or woman who
has made song popular to come to
our warehouse and sing for a record,
but in nine cases out of ten the game
is not worth the candle. We can get
better results for the same song from
performers trained to photographic
work, but who could scarcely earn their
salt in music hall. Professional sing
ers do not seem to get the low and
even pitch that makes a song for the
phonograph success. Not one man in
so who applies for work in this line is
fit for it. If man insists we give him
trial, and then let him listen to his
own voice. With the women we have
more trouble still. That is why SO
many songs sung by women in the
comic operas are trolled out by men
over the phonograph. One fellow who
gets along well enough in the music
halls listened to his own voice here
lately. Say he exclaimed in disgust,
if l thought | screeched like that it
would be the fishcart for minel' IN.
