ODD MEANS OF SUPPORT.
Girl Earns Living by Singing Into a Phonograph-LaclzsI Inspira-
 tion Audience Gives.

A young woman who makes her. liv- ing by singing into photographs talked the other day about her job, says the Philadelphia Record 'In this work" she said, there is one great difficulty, and that is the absence of an audience. When a singer comes out before big audience to sing, tho sight of all those persons is frightening to her, but at the same time it is inspiring; it keys her up; it takes her out of herself. She does better than she would have thought it possible to do. Singing into pho- nograph is hard because there is noth- ing there to inspire and intoXicate you. Instead of house of people eager to please you have an empty room and a big cylinder Hence you feel dull and dumpy. You can't put into your voice the brilliance, the exhilaratiou and the sympathy that come of themselves when there are human ears listening and un- derstarding. Some of the best singers can't sing into the photograph at all, solely on this account. Others can't sing into it unless they have taken a glass or two of champagne. I, with hard work, have managed to produce my voice at it's best for the machine, just as I do on the stage, but in this I am singular. The persons who can sing into photographs so as to do themselves justice are few and far be- tween

The Naturalist Tells Bits of History
 of His Tame Fox.
How "The sprtte" Revenged Himself for the Impotence and Inquis- 1t1venesa of an Old Man
 How He Lost His Mate.

Readers of this series may perhaps remember "The Sprite, one of the three little fox cubs which dug out of burrow last April, while they were yet blind and woolly. The Sprite is still a guest of mine, and, although he has long since lost all appearance of puppy, at heart he is as young and mischievous as ever.
 For 8 long time the young fox had the run of the house, but there hnaNy came 8 time when, in the interests of humanity, we decided that one roof must no longer cover us all. In fact, 1T '"The Sprite'' had stayed another week 1t is a question whether there would have been a roof for any of us. Then the neighbors, good-natured as they were, had got into the habit of count ing their chickens every night before retiring, and all that were not pres ent" at tattoo" were accounted for" in just one way. So we built 9 large cage of wire and wood, out in the gar den, and into it we put ''The Sprite, v witH a pretty little yellow-haired vixen to keep him company.
 Among the many to whom the young foxes were objects of interest were some hens which used to stray into the garden and stare rudely through the netting The vixen, like the little lady that she was, paid no attention to these vulgar fowls, but '%The Sprite' chafed under the insult, which he ire quently sought to wipe out, only to be reminded that he could not jump clean through thick wire netting. So he gave it up, and bided his time. The. hens be- came bolder and bolder, and strutted back and forth, close beside the cage, twisting their saucy necks that they

The walking delegate of the future. in a recent Gibson picture is sitting asleep, in spacious luxury, with a
 1unky in attendance and an empty bottle by his side, writes the editor of Golfers Weekly. Now comes sa- loon keeper, who admits that he com- mitted perjury in order to keep Sam Parks from going to prison for black mail, and describes a meeting in is private room, where he and Parks and the attorneys sat drinking champagne. Tn the big trusts, what underlies cor ruption is the love of power. In minor thieves, it is the love of luxury. Both reduce themselves. of course, to the fight for money We feel certain sorrow for Sam Parks, bad as he is, going to prison because he sold out his fellow workingman, while man. agers of the greatest construction com pany in the world, which makes busi- ness of corrupting men like Parks, are in small danger of seeing Sing Sing. The love of luxury, the ambition to enjoy more of the fat things of life than fall naturally to us, has its good and evil sides. It spurs ambition, but it often destroys integrity. Sir" said Dr Johnson, mo nation was ever hurt by luxury, for it can reach but q very few" Since the doctors time it has reached further. Laboring men live better to-day than employers lived in Johnson's time. This placing of oppov- tunity and comfort within the reach of many is the accomplishment of indus trial democracy. What we need is 8 corresponding spiritual growth to keep our material interests within bounds.

DEVICE FOR LUNCH CARDS.
Considerable Ingenuity Displayed in Arranging for Fashionable Coun-
 try House Affair i'm the East.

At luncheon recently given at a fashionables country house the place cards were prettily suggestive of the various nationalities of the young women guests, says the Chicago Chronicle Each card was an oblong of white drawing paper and painted in water colors with a bar of music from ia song characteristic of the particular country, an appropriate bit of land scape being combined with it. Thus the young woman of English descent had bar of God Save the King" on her card, and above it 8 tiny hedge with wild roses painted at the edge of a meadow. The German young woman had the Watch on the Rhine" for her bar of music, and miniature view Of the famous river and one of it's fla nous castles.
 The girl who had noted French ancestor received a card having a bar of the "Marseillaise" painted on 1t and bit of bridge over the Seine. The Scotch lassie had Here's Health to Prince Charlie" for her song, and a tiny figure of highlander crossing a
 moor on her card. The girl of Irish extraction had a bar of the Wearing of the Green" and a border of sham rocks The American girls received Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" and 8 sketch of the Reliance at anchor as a card decoration. Several of the girls were of New York Knickerbocker stock, and a bar of an old Dutch song, with sketch of historical New York locality, were cleverly put to- gether to make up their cards. A bow of orange ribbon tied them.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER il, 1903.

It is the universal opinion in New York and in political circles in Wash tngton that had 1t not been for the pa pers controlled by William Randolph Hearst, the people never would have taken the interest in this election that they did and the great democratic city of New York would still have been un- der the control of Tom Platt and his republican coIaborers and co-partners in political crime. It is a noteworthy fact that every paper in the city of Greater New York, with the exception or the New York American, Evening Journal and Das Morgen Journal, owned and controlled by MT Hearst, were booming the so-called fusion ticket made up of republicans and mugwump democrats

might see the better. One morning the boldest of these fowls was walking past, and s'The Sprite" was nowhere to be seen. It may have been irresistible curiosity which prompted the hen to find out just where he was, but, at any rate, in that evil hour she thrust her head through the netting. It never came out again. There was a flash of red and the fox was wiping out all in suits. The good little jaws came to- gether with click the black front le@s straightened out like ramrods, and had the hens neck been made of wire cable he would have had the whole of her.
 That bit of revenge, sweet as it was, but gave him an appetite for what was to follow some weeks later. I am in the habit of taking him for walk, and out of respect for my neighbors' poul- try I take him on a chain. On the morning of Labor day I opened the cage door, as usual, with his collar in my hand, but before I could put it on, he slipped past me and out into the garden. AZ though he had been plan ming it for week, he ran directly for my nearest neighbor's hen yard, with his fond owner in his wake, doing the best bit of sprinting he has done for some years. It was no use: "The Sprite' knew his advantage, and even turned to laugh in my face. In another moment he was over a wall, and in the middle of 8 covey of well-grown chick- ems, which scattered like skittles before a "ten-strike." But they were not quick enough for the fox, who had one of them in his teeth even as came up with him. My presence did not discon- cert him in the least, either; he kept his presence of mind, in spite of my shouts and the noisy cackling of the hens. Of course, he lodged me; but even as he did so his mind was strictly on the business in hand. He glanced quickly about, as much as to say, Are there any more around here while I'm at it? Oh, yes, here's one;" and before could turn he had another victim, and away he dashed with the two in his mouth. Back he went into my gar den, and round to his own pen, where he stopped long enough to bite the chickens till he was sure they were dead.
 After thissall went we'll with the foxes until about three weeks ago, when l was called away from home and left an assistant in charge of the animals. Two nights later my neigabor's wife called to say that our foxes were in her yard. Mrs. Baynes went over and in the dim light saw the forms of both foxes on top of the hen house, the roof of which was low enough for them to jump upon. She called The Sprite' and he followed her back home with out giving the least trouble, but when she returned for the vixen the latter had run off into the woods
 '"The Sprite," until now so light hearted and happy, was almost heart broken. Night after night he howled necessarily, and he cared little for his food. So genuine was his grief that we got another mate for him. She ar- rived yesterday, and last night, for the first time since his bereavement, he did not sadden us with his pitiful howls

The elections held last week teaches a lesson, and 1t may be summed up briefly. It has made some men and has put others very much on the blink" so to speak. The result in Massachusetts, teaches us that the so- called reorganized democracy which controlled things in that state cannot win without the rank and file. of the party that stood loyal1y to the ticket in the years of 1896 and 1900, and 1t is believed that a good many of them went fishing on election day. There will, it is confidently believed by many leaders of the party in New York. be a repetition of this piscatorial energy on the part of thousands of democrats all over the east next year should the democracy nominate such a man for the presidency. The result in the city of New York means many things for many people.

Dea1ins in Broken Glass.

One of the novel trades of London is that of dealer in secondhand plate-glass., Nearly all of this glass is bought by the dealer from insur- ance companies. The large plates of this kind of glass are insured when put in window, and when any of them are broken, the owner of the in jured glass usually prefers that the insurance company should replace the broken plate rather than he should be paid it's price. The dealer in the sec. ond-hand glass contrives to utilize what remains of the unbroken part of the glass, cutting it into panes of smaller size, and disposing of them after wards

 HEATED WITH HONOR
THE FUNERAL OF THE PATRIOT EvOkES A GREAT DEMONSTRA- TON OF sYMPATHY-CEREMo- MES ARE MAGNIFICENT.

Rome. August 25-The funeral of Me- notti Garibaldi, the eldest son of the pat riot. took place today and evoked great popular demonstration of sympathy. For hours before the cortege was expected, the streets were crowded with people. On the coffin was laid the red shirt, cape and sword of the dead general and quantity of flowers. The procession was of mil itary character. All the military officers of Rome, including the members of the senate, the chamber and municipal coun- ell, attended the funeral, the king being represented by Vice Admiral Morin, the foreign minister. The troops of the garri- son of Rome were drawn up in the squares and rendered military honors as the coffin passed. Many worlxmen soci- cites and various boys societies in which Menotti Garibaldi took an interest, took part in the procession.
 The Garibaldian veterans mustered In great force. They made thls last effort to do honor to the name of Garibald as well as to the personal popularity of Me- notti. It Is estimated that $50, 900 persons witnessed the funeral procession.
 The body. escorted by three squadrons of cavalry, was taken across the Campag- na Romani. On arriving al the village of Albano 1t was met by all the repre- sentatives of Latium, who gathered to show their respect for the dead man.
 The body will be buried on Menottis es- tate, near Carano.

COY. 0DELL BOASTS
 EX-GOY. D. B. HILL
IN AN ADDRESS AT GENEsEE HE REPLIES TO CRITICISM AND CALLS "cERTAIN POLITICIANS" DANGEROUS.

Genesee, N. Y, August 25.-Goy. Odell addressed the Pioneers association of Livingston county at its picnic here to- day. The governor. after speaking of the present general industry, turned his attention to that part of former Cover nor David B. Hilrs address last week at Olcott Beach, N r., in which MT. Hill referred to 'spectacularism" and ego mania" In this connection Governor Odell said: Those who seek only per sonal ambition and political advance ment are too often led to public utter ances which breed discontent in the hope that by the misery of the people, they may secure the consummaton of their own selfish desires Such men, while protesting patriotism and respect for our laws are rather encouraging those un- American doctrines which are the out growth of despotic European govern ment.
 That man, therefore, whose unrequit- ed political ambition causes him to look on every man as his foe. whose char acter is so black that he is led through the circulation of malicious falsehoods and islanders to pull down others to his own level, is possessed of disease more dangerous to society than homi- cidal insanity, more to be pitied than to be censured.

COMPANY WILL

CONSOLIDATED LAKE SUPERIOR STOCKHOLDERS FAIL TO sUB- SCRIBE TO PROPOSED ISSUE OF BONDS.

Philadelphia, August 25.-The Consoli- dated Lake Superior company, which Is having difficulty in raising funds, Is to be re-organized, owing to the failure of the stockholders to subscribe to the pro- posed Issue of $15, 100000 in bonds. A statement issued by the company today says:
 "The effort to provide funds needed by the Consolidated Lake Superior company through the sale of bonds has not pro- duced the required results, and it has been found necessary to abandon this plan. It Is proposed now to effect com plete reorganization of the company s affairs by the formation of a new cor poration, and the exchanging of the old stock for new upon the payment of the assessments will produce the amount of money which 1t was sought to raise through the issue of bonds.
 "A syndicate is now being formed to pany for the discharge of current obliga- tions and for additional working capital and to carry through plan of re-organ- izaton A reorganization, such as con templated will call for payment by the stockholders virtually the same as have been asked for in the form of subscrip- tiors to bonds but will obviate the nec- essity of creating any bond issues and will permit the reduction of the com pany's capitalization to a figure closely approximating the actual cash invest ment in the property"

PROJECT ABANDONED.
Scientists Will Not Excavate Jr of
 the Chaldes.

New York. August 25-After more than three years of preparation and effort. and the expenditure of more than $600e plan for the excavation of Ur of the Chaldes and other places in Babylonia by Ameri- can explorers has been formally aban- doned because the Turkish government will not grant permission to American cit- izens to do the work.
 In a letter to subscribers of the UT chairman of the advisory board. says:
 "On June l9, 1900. an application was made for permission to excavate Maug- heir. UT of the Chaldes and Nawawis ruins, in close proximity in southern Babylonia, and the required topographi- cal map was submitted with this appli- cation. The application was in all respects in conformity with the law of the Turkish empire governing excavations.
 No permission has been obtained nor has any satisfactory reason been given for the failure to grant such permission. Later. at the suggestion of the Turkish authorities, Te-Ibrahim was substituted for Maugheir, with the same result.
 "Dr. Edgar J. Banks. the director of the expedition. has been in constantinople since January II. 1901. earnestly pressing the Turkish government with the co-op- eration of the United States legation. for permission to excavate.''

the rescuing parties was headed by Con- gressman William Caldernead. Tonight the river is falling although farms for miles around will be under water for sev- eral days. South of here at the town Of Blue Rapids, the Blue river rose within few inches of the highest point of the June rise, causing much damage to farm lands.
 A wall of water struck Vleits, town of one hundred population, on the Yer million river east of here, In the same county, driving the residence of the low lands from their homes. Today, Vleits is five feet under water. All the stores and perhaps twenty-five residents are inun- dated, and the damage at that place is estimated at $5O,OOO. The river Is three miles wide.
 The same storm struck Seneca, in the next county east where four and three inches of water fell.
 The Grand Island railway bridge at Beatty was washed out and several miles of track on that road are gone.
