Cantor in Great Demand

Jews on the upper East Side have
some wild with enthusiasm over the
voice of Russian cantor who sang
the services in the New York Star
theater Saturday morning. The theater
has been turned into temporary tenn
pie. His name is A. L. Schlossberg,
and those who have heard him declare
he has the most remarkable voice a
human being ever possessed.
The cantor could be a rabbi, 1t is
said, if he wanted to; but, knowing
the quality of his voice, he prefers to
remain singer. He has had dozens
of offers to go into grand opera or to
sing in concert. But the bent of his
mind is religious, and he has no in
tention of changing his vocation.
The demand for him by the Jews of
this country is SO great that he finds
it impossible to accept all calls. Satur-
day he was at the New Star theater;
this week he goes up to Bronxville,
and then comes down to a temple in

Butterfly Rare Find

John Haviland, whose home is in
Springfield. o., arrived in New York
from Ecuador some days ago with a
butterfly such as was never seen be-
fore here-one so beautiful and so
rare that it is worth $4,000. 1t has
been sent to Lord Naihanial Roth
schild in London, who has for years
collected remarkable fleas and strange
butterflies. s
Mr.. Haviiand was private secretary
to Major John Harman. manager of
the Guayaquil and Quito railroad, now
being built between these two South
American cities. thereby opening up

During his spare moments Mr.. Havi

Mr.. Schlossberg is 46 years old. He
was born in small town In Russia.
1t was not until seyeral years after he
became famous there that the Jews in
America heard of him. Then he was
induced to come to the United States,
and arrived here in September, just
in time for the great Jewish holidays.
In appearance the cantor is very
striking. He has big beard and
piercing black eyes. His musical
voice and easy manners make him an
attractive person with whom to talk.

unions of the building trades and the
employers Of that city. Mr.. Carlin

work because Of his wide and varied
experience in building trades affairs.
The trouble is reported to be serious.

Carlin expects to be gone for three or
four weeks. The International union
has sent a man to fill his place here

AFTER ENGINEERS
1905 CONVENTION
DELEGATES TO LOS ANGELES
WILL WORK FOR 1T.
Obstacles in the Way of Holding This
Years Meeting in Los Angeles Are
Observation-Disclosures Will Seek to
Have a Second Assistant Chief
Named for Northwest.

The convention Of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers is to be held
in Los Angeles after all. Word to
this effect has been received by the
twin city lodges, and with it comes
the information that all objections to
Los Angeles have been removed. The
fact that only a few railroads run to
Los Angeles, and that these roads
thought the furnishing Of Transports
ton to the delegates to the conven-
ton was more than they could stand,
was the chief objection to Los Ange-
les. The date Of the convention is
May IL. The Ladies' auxiliary will
hold it's annual convention at the
same time and place. The member
ship of the brotherhood is now up
wards of $4,000. Ten delegates will
go from Minneapolis and st. Paul.
A movement has been started to
secure next years convention for
Minneapolis. A delegation from one
Of the local lodges has been visiting
the other organizations in both cities
to enlist their aid in achieving this
object, with the result that the whole
twin city delegation will go instructed
to work for Minneapolis. The local
members are enthusiastic over the
outlook and say the prospects are
good that the next annual gathering
will be held here.
Northwestern lodges will make an
endeavor to create the office of sec
ond assistant chief. 1t has long been
felt that some one should devote more
time to the interests Of this section
of the country than the present broth
erhood officials can afford to devote.
Should the office become a reality,
John Lynch, travelling engineer of the
Chicago Great Western for the north
western division, will be urged for
the position.
