PATHS APPEARANCE IN 1855
Her First Role in Opera Was Played
In That Year With Success.

The season of 1859 was remarkable
Tor the first appearance in opera OF
Adelina Pitt. This new and youthful
prima donna, the youngest daughte!
OF Catalina Barili, under the direction
OF her Nnsman and master, Maurice
strakosch, came forward at the New
York Academy of Music Nov. "a in
the title role of Lucia di Lammer.

taste, and capable critics at once rec
ognized in the debutante "one of those
rare singers who appear at long in
teryals on the musical horizon, to re-
vive not only the hopes of managers
but the enthusiasm OF the public"
This prediction had quick fulhllment.
After short initial engagement in
Philadelphia Nile. Patti, piloted by
Strakosch. embarked on concert
tour which ended at New Orleans,
whence she sailed for London, where
she may be said to have fairly begun
a career which. like her art, must long
remain in lyric annals. Thereafter for
upward Of forty years she held first
place, and during the greater part of
that time she was not only sweeter
but better singer than any other wo.
man in the world. Her name lends
golden ending to any record Of the

A Republican Monument.

1t would seem to be quite appropri-
ate that the magnificent new bronze
doors for the Pennsylvania capitol at
Harrisburg, which have just been I'M
yelled, should be found to bear the
portraits OF the late Senator Quay and
the living Penrose and Governor Pen
nypacker. This trio are representative
Pennsylvania Republicans whom the
corrupt machine has been able to force
by fraud on the state, through the par
tisanship of Republican voters. That
a good percentage Of Republicans now
see the error of their ways and are
trying to destroy the machine is to
their credit. though attempted at rather
a late day. When the Democrats and
these laggard Republican reformers
nave succeeded in organizing an hon
est government the imperishable
bronze will be a constant reminder to
honest voters of the stress of the stage
OF corruption that preceded regener-
alton and by pointing to these doors
inStill into their children's minds the
everlasting truth that eternal vigi.
lance is the price of liberty"

A Kansas Stand Pattcr.

Republican rule in Kansas is thus
described by former United States
Senator w. A. Harris, now the candi-
date of the Democrats for governor:
1--WE have had Republicans in office
year after year. We have had rulers
Of all sorts. We have had charges
and countercharges. We have had
designations of officials placed in
escrow. that if they were proved rob
bers they would step down and out.
We have had Investigations and con-
tirmed those charges. We have had
reports of defalcation after defalca-
ton, yet everything is quoted down,
and 4 Shiny surface is still u%ninvesti-
gated around the statehouse."
The Republican convention that NOM
mated the osculatory Hoch for gov
ernor is said by the faction of the
party that opposed his nomination to
have been run by the railroads 'to
suit themselves" and there is no doubt
that the corporations are financing the
G. O. 2. in Kansas as in many other
states. When Hoch was first elected
he promised to "clean up in short Or
der" but it seems that the governor
has developed into n confirmed OPP
timiSt, who believes in standing pat
and letting we'll enough alone" after

Official PeruuiSiteS.

Most business men feel very fortu-
nate If they can take two or three
weeks holiday in a year. and farmers
and wage II usually have to be
content with Il days holiday now and
then. But government officials. from
the president down. take months of
vacations, and even the clerks and gov
eminent laborerS are entitled to thirty
days vacation with full pay, At the
same time their hours OF service are
much less than in other occupations
and their salaries are greater than
could be earned elsewhere With the

Of S25. 90 from Paul 0. Stensland, the
defaulting president Of the Milwaukee
Avenue Bank of Chicago, who now is
in prison at Joliet Since he skipped
out and the truth has become known
regarding him, President Preus de-
cided not to permit the use of money
obtained by fraud TO enter into the
construction Of this building and re-
turned the amount to the receiver of
the bank, who answered him in a
very polite letter, stating that if
more people TO whom Stensland had
given Door peoples money would do
the same, the needy would receive
much more that had been stolen from
them. The act of President Preus

NEW MOVE ON

The voting machines which have
been shipped here, as provided in the
purchase contract, have spaces for but
seven party tickets. The regular state
ticket this year contains five tickets,
and the above nominations will neces-
state nine additional ticket spaces
on the machine, for which there is no
provision. AS we understand it, no
two nominations for the same Office
may appear on one ticket, and that
will necessitate fourteen different
party tickets on the ballot, which is
not provided for by the voting ma
chimes.
This is a clever move, and of course
is done with the sole object of defeat
ing the possibility of using the voting
machines at the election. 1t was sim
pie, easily and quietly done, and may
accomplish the purpose of those who
have had the matter i'll charge.
