he could have had Caruso eight years

let US not think too hardly of Mr..
Leahy. His own Italy at the same
time hissed Caruso off the stage. OF

chosen for the Tivoli history hath not
kept record.

kind. If he were. the sweetest of re-

shadow of a doubt that he is the
most wonderfully voiced of known
tenors. The impression he creates
everywhere, on critics and populace
alike, is too profound, too unique, to
spell anything but an absolute SOW
ereignty. 1t is not to the throne of
Jean de Reszke that Caruso sue

opera. Rather. say those with long
enough memories, the singer is the
direct successor of Mario.

Ferdinand of Bulgaria Gratiies Desire

PARIS. April Never did scion OF

exceptional circumstances as those that

week Of Prince Ferdinand OF Bulgaria.
The Prince often had expressed the
wish to take a ride in the cab of

The Prince Immediately donned this
humble uniform, and when the train
reached Abbeville he went forward and
took his seat at the side OF the engi-

The spring exhibition is on at the Art
Institute, showing much high class
work and some few viIIainies. In
formation has come TO me that
the jury, three good men and true
(but hypnOtized by the Apostle Of
the Weird). had rejected over one
third Of the pictures offered. If that
rejected lot be worse than the impos-
sible stretch of asphalt Of Piazzono,
then the gods be thanked for the dis
elimination of the jury That picture
is the limit,

zoni should show such an atrocity
passes me. Take his pastoral picture
for instance. Here's canvas verg-

qualities of value, and stops on

ture. In logical sequence comes that

art, q sort of faddism. but it is saved
by a decorative quality. when seen
from a distance. But this last symp-
tom Of impressionist madness possesses
not even this saving quality. and if the
capable young artist isn't dissuaded
from his course, I'd hate to conJure up
what he would paint next.
Come, come, Piazzoni, put away your
faddism, and bring out the normal
qualities in you.

Willis Davis shows a prolific brush,
exhibiting several small canvases and
one large picture of the Sierras-a
thing that challenges a moving eye.
1t is apparent from the treatment
that Mr.. Davis knows his Sierras rath-
er thoroughly, with their abrupt gorges,
rugged and pine clad, their trees en-
wrapt in the hazes of the heights. In
this picture a blush light has fallen
over the canyon-a light that strikes
me just trifie too blue. But there are
strange atmospheric conditions up in
the Sierras, and it is not an improb
able thing that Mr.. Davis has seen just
that sort of haze. If so, he did the
right thing to paint it that way. Near
this big canvas is a delicious bit of a
spring landscape-a little sonnet to the
glad things of nature.

Tragedy From Panic Narrowly Avert


Greenville, Miss While the steam.

ing on the Arkansas side, she was
burned to the waters edge. The boat
.carried about twenty-five cabin and
perhaps forty deck passengers and was
heavily loaded with quantity of hay
and other forage merchandise, ETC.,
and about a dozen horses and mules
There were probably 125 persons
on board. Not single life was lost,
even the live stock was saved. The
boat herself and cargo were totally
destroyed The origin Of the fire is
unknown.
A panic and terrible tragedy was
narrowly averted. The ladies in the
cabin eight or ten IN number, rushed
first to the front. Finding their way
barred by smoke they ran for the aft
end Of the cabin, where all would pro-
badly have persisted but for the very
prompt action Of Mr.. Lewis, levee
contractor of Memphis. Calling the
mate to his assistance the men urged
and forced the terrified women through
the smoke and flames to the stage
plank, being obliged to carry one lady
from the boat in their arms.
