ROSyN4 STOLTZ DEAD.
ia Favorita" Was written for Her and
She Lived to tie 40.

Rosina Stoltz has just died in Paris at
the age of 90. 1t was for her that Donizetti
wrote La Favorita," and it was a tradition
in Paris that no other woman ever sang
the role AZ she did. But as that happened
sixty-three years ago, there are few persons
who remember her performance. She
had not sung since the sos.
Theresa Stoltz, who died a year ago,
was COMPOUNDED with her. and then the
present generation learned that the first
of all the IGNORES was living still In Paris
Theresa StoltZ, who was an Italian singer
of Austrian parentage. was the original
Aida and an intimate friend Of Verdi's
family
Rosina Stoltz was born in Spain OF French
parents, and her mother was concierge in
a Paris apartment house when the Duchesse
de Berry took an interest in her, had her
educated at a convent, and when her voice
developed sent her to the Conservative
She was born on Feb. Is, the dav the Due
de Berry was murdered. As he lay on the
sofa in the Opera that was to be his death
bed he told his wife that h had left behind
him children born out of wedlock, whom
he hoped that she would aid If she could
that the Duchess aided, her interest arising
from the fact that Rosina was born on the
same day the Duke was murdered.
She sang In concert and outside of Paris
in opera until 1884, when she went to the
Opera. There she was great success as
Rachel in Halevys La Juive," Valentine
in Les Huguenots" and Donna Anna in
Don Giovanni But with LA Favorita"
came her greatest triumph. For seven
years afterward she stood at the head of
all the singers of the day.
Her career continued brilliantly until
is47. Then she appeared in new opera
which proved a failure. She had never
had great natural voice. She had forced
herself to sing music for which her talents
were not adapted, and the effects of this
misuse had begun TO tell. In her excite
ment she sang false. Then the public,
that had made her, spoiled favorite for
seven years turned and Kissed her.
Theophile Gautier has described in his
memoirs the manner in which she tore her
handkerchief to bits in rage, and turning
to the box in which the directors sat,
vowed that she would never put foot on
the stage of the Opera again. She stuck
by that decision for nine years, travelled
through Europe giving concerts, and finally
returned to Paris to retire permanently
from the stage
She was then persuaded by the public
that had treated her 80 kindly and 80
cruelty to reappear once more at the Opera,
that it might have the opportunity to re-
deem itself. She sang once, was received
with rapture and never appeared in public
again That was in 1855
She married three times. BY her second
husband she had a son, Baron Charles
Kirchendorf, to whom she was deeply de-
voted. She never recovered from her grief
over his death year ago. Her third nus
band was Count Lesignani. She had lived
chiefly in Nice and Paris and died alone in
a hotel in the latter city.

WANTS No MORE NEGROES.
An Indiana Republican opposes Bringing
Any More to His state.


LAPoRTE, Ind, Aug. l8-Arthur j. Bow
ser, editor Of the Chesterton Tribune, clerk
in the State Legislature and well-known
Republican in Porter county, has taken
the initiative in organizing opposition
to the settlement Of negroes in this county
and In northwestern Indiana Last Satur-
day a negro tramp assaulted farmers
wife near Valparaiso and seriously injured
her. All day Sunday the streets were filed
with angry farmers and college students,
threatening to break the Jail and lynch
the negro, who admitted the crime. That
crime brought out Bowser's proposition.
Bowser admits that he has always en-
tertained a deep-rooted antipathy toward
the negro race and declares that II is now
time for communities having few colored
citizens to protect themselves against any
further increase from Southern States
He says.
"The settlement Of negroes from the
South in this county means that fear would
enter the home Of every farmer in the
county and our wives, daughters and
sweethearts would be exposed to fate
more horrible than death In any form,
property values would go down and lynch
ings would follow"

LIE NEARLY CAUSED LYNCHING.
Negro Girl Confessed to Forgery when Her
Fathers Life Was in Danger.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 18-Vanceville
Bossier Parish, La, has just quoted dowr
after great excitement and a narrow escape
from a quadruple lynching. Whit Vance
a leading white planter in the neighbor-
hood, received letter threatening his
life and containing vile references to Mrs
Vance and to other members Of his family
The name of Peter Dozier, a negro living
at VAUDEVILLE, was signed to 1t.
Dozier was at once arrested and with
him a negro named Andrew Miller, who
had the reputation Of being a dangerous
negro, and two other negroes who were
supposed to be accomplices. Considerable
excitement prevailed and it was reported
that quadruple lynching was down on
the programme. Before the lynching, how
ever, the entire aspect Of the case was
one Of the men in Jail in danger Of lynching,
confessed that she had written the letter
and forged Dozier's name to IL. Jealous
Of DoZier, who had discarded her, she
decided on revenge and hit upon the idea
OF. writing such a threatening letter that
the whites would be aroused and probably
lynch the man she hated. Her revenge
was complete, but she found out that it
had been so successful that her own father
and two other negroes, against whom she
had no grudge, would likely be lynched.
She weakened and confessed in an open
meeting, where the entire population of
the town Of Vanceville and neighborhood,
white and black, were present.
The meeting then unanimously resolved
that the Miller girl should be whipped for
the trouble she had caused and she was
turned over to a committee of three and
the sentence carried out. Dozier and his
friends were released from jail
