FRENCH CRITIC ASSAILS
YOUNG AMERICAN SINGER
Writer in Gil Bias Severe
on Miss Farrar.
PRAISED BY THE OTHERS
Prima Donna, Daughter of Ball Player,
Said to Have Caprivated Ger
man Crown Prince.

Miss Geraldine Farrar. the young
American singer. who has carried the
heart OF Europe by storm and at one
time was said to be beloved by the Ger
man crown prince, is not finding her
pathway strewn everywhere with roses.
Most Of the critics have fallen down and
worshiped. but one OF the most infiuen-
tial has declined. He Is the thorn.
With one exception the French press
has been loud in its praises II the
American singers appearance in the new
opera. THE Clown The exception is
Gil Bias, OF which hardly an issue ap-
pears In which slurring remarks of one
sort or another are not cast at America
and Americans. The dramatic critic OF
this paper, NJ. Nosiere. says:
For moro than a month we have
heard about the talent and beauty of
Geraldine Farrar. They are exaggerat-
ed. Miss Farrar has three or four notes
which are superb and admirably execut-
ed 1t is those notes which rouse the
enthusiasm of the audience But Miss
Farrar's voice is incomplete. The pro-
duction is often difficult and the artIcu-
latiOn defective.

She Has Cheek.

"As for her talents as an actress.
they are resumed in one powerful quail
ity: check. Miss Farrar Is as self
assured as Cavalieri. Like the Italian
she has gestures which are at times
Jerky and overdone, and her facia, ex-
pressions are grimaces. Miss Fa -rar
does not hesitate to strike vulgar TIL
tudes- On seeing and hearing her have
felt a great disillusion."
Miss Farrar Is the daughter Of Sid
Farrar, the famous Philadelphia ball
player She was born in Massachusetts
but has lived abroad since she was a
child, and one Of her ambitions "a is
said, has been 10 come back home and
sing for her own countrymen and coun-
trywomen. She has been called the
American Jenny Lind by a leading
Berlin critic and her voice EVERYWHERE
has been received with acclaim It
makes her failure TO please the critic
Of GIL Bias all the more remarkable.
She is girl yet-not twenty-three-
and in all probability her voice has not
attained its full perfection. When she
was singing in Berlin her mother in
sisted upon accompanying her behind
the scenes and this raised a row which
II required the influence Of the Emperor
to. settle.

Fort Saratoga.

With the history of Old Saratoga the
names of Schuyler and Livingston are
closely associated. Fort Saratoga was
built in 1890 by Major Peter Philip
Schuyler, and around it grew up a
small settlement which suffered many
vicissitudes during the troublous times
OF the next hundred years. Lying on
the thoroughfare from Canada TO New
York, this northern valley of the Hud-
son was always in dispute in the
French and Indian war, and in the
Revolution until the great battle Of
Saratoga-the first victory over which
the American flag waved. and one of
the fifteen decisive battles of the
world The actual battle-ground Is sew
eral miles away from the settlement
and is marked today by many stones
recording the brave deeds of our Amer
lean soldiers. The house still stands in
which Arnold was confined as prisoner
and from which he escaped in time to
help turn the tide of battle toward vic
tory-Four Track News.

Number 13

Muncie. Ind, June 20.-When Miss
Nellie Mae Fahrner and Alonzo L.
Feirce appeared at the county clerks
office and asked for marriage license.
Deputy Clerk Earl Patterson begged
them not to obtain their license at that
time and after persuasion he told them
it was because theirs would be the thir-
teenth issued that day. At this serious
bit of information the bridegroom paled
and seemed on the point of adopting
the deputy clerks advice, when the
bridge-elect said:
It's no use. We have told our
friends that we are to be married to-
morrow. so we can't disappoint them.
I'm not afraid of thirteen. anyway. 1

won over by this argument, accepted

THE GOORALS OF POLAND.
Honest, HospitabI and Brave, but
Obstinate and QuarreIsOme.

The character of the goorals has
nothing in common with the humble
peasants of the low country. In their
good qualities and faults they rather
resemble the proud noblemen of Po-
land. They are yivacious, honest hos
pitable and full of pride, bravery and
chivalry, on which one may always
count But their defects are grave.
Obstinacy and quarrels lead them Of
ten to bloody fights, the lack Of thrift
is frequent among them and supersti-
lions haunt them at every step. They
love nature and in their songs praise
their gigantic peaks, spruce forests
and the clouds and rain. They build
their houses facing Tatra, which they
constantly observe and consult about
weather conditions. A gooral cannot
live without his mountains, and if he
sometimes leaves them Inconsistencies
will soon bring him back.
They are very religious, but their
Christian faith Is mixed with old SUI
perstitions, and the Roman Catholic
rites are mingled with weird, often
very picturesque, usages which have
their origin in the old Slavonic pagan
ism. So for instance, on st. Johns
night Sobotka is celebrated by burning
bonfires on fields and hills and by
dancing, a festivity which in pagan
times was held on the summer solstice
in honor of Sviatoyit, the god of sun,
fire and love.
On Easter holidays from every house
Ii,
the church to be blessed by the priest,
or the priest, accompanied by a sexton,
goes to the house, where on a long
white covered table cake, eggs and
venison await his blessing This is
called swiocone The table remains
covered with food for week to await
all friends of the house that may
come.
The Polish tongue among the noun
taineerS has pleasant, soft infections,
and their dialect resembles the old Po-
lish of the fifteenth or sixteenth cen
fury The picturesque and practical
costume of the goorals consists of a
coarse linen shirt fastened with brass
brooch; a serdak, which is a sleeveless
sheepskin jacket of a reddish color,
richly decorated with applique orna-
ments of colored leather and silk en-
+ bfoidery and lined with fur; tight fit
ting trousers of coarse, whitish, home
made wooden cloth, and a cloak called
tsuha, worn usually over one shoulder

room and soft leather sandals perpce)

RAT KILLS A MAN 81 YEARS OLD
Death of Indiana's Most Noted Meth
odist-McCoy Given an Inde-
terminate Sentence.

indianapolis, June 2O.-An old man,
81 years of age, died from the eff
fects of a rat bite, and he was only
one of 146 persons in in Indiana who
died violent deaths in May. 1t was
an unusually large number for ons
month. OF this number eight were
murders and twenty-five were suicides.
Among the suicides. nine persons chose
the carbolic-acid route, three took NOR
phine, two took potash in some form
or other, two used other poisons, four
were due to gunshots, four persons
killed themselves by hanging and one
sought death by drowning.
That Number ID Figures.
Accidents cost 113 lives. During the
heavy thunder storms of May four per-
sons were killed by lightning The
railroads Of the state killed fourteen,
while only one life was lost on the
electric roads. Seven old persons died
from the results of fracture of the
hip, and fracture Of the skull cost sew
en- lives. Fractures of other bones re-
suited in three more Deaths Thirteen
lives were crushed out by falling tim
bers, falling stone and other similar
accidents. Six were killed by falls.
Eleven were burned or scalded to
death. The open season for drowning
appears to have arrived also. as thir-
teen deaths were due to that cause
Most of the victims were boys who
went swimming in the rivers and
creeks. One baby and two adults died
from asphyxiation. One death was
due to lockjaw Horses killed five
Buy Poison and Murder.
There were twelve accidental poison
ings, Of which four We're caused by
strychnine two by morphine and three
by unnamed pOisons. One person drank
coal oil. another used carbolic acid and
in one case death was caused by drink
ing patent medicine of some kind.
OF the murder victims seven were
males and one a woman. Nineteen
men and six women committed suicide
and eighty-one males and thirty two fe-
males were killed by accidents.
Twelve Babies Die by Accident.
Returns for May show that eleven
Indiana babies died from accidental poi
soning. and that one death was due
to axphyxiation. This harvest was
gathered in all parts of Indiana and
is much larger than has ever before
been reported in the state.
