BOOTH AND BARRETT.
How the Breach Between These Two
Great Actors Occurred.

How the Breach Between These Two
Great Actors Occurred.
The great breach in the friendship
between Edwin Booth and Lawrence
Barrett occurred when Barrett was
playing 1.-The Man o. Airlee'' in
Boothis theater in New York city. The
piece did not draw, and Booth decided
t6ghave it discontinued. So Gas he aft
erward told of the incidenD he breach
ed The subject to Barrett, who fnme-
dEately grew angry. "Do you mean to
say that l can't play it?" he demanded
hoBIy. Booth assured him in concil-
iatory way that he gave the first part
fairly, but not the last. In a greater
passion than ever, Barrett repeated,
edo you mean to say that can't play
it?" Booth, still trying to not offend
bimy said, II don't think you have quite
worked into the last act" Then Bar
rett's fury burst its bounds, and he ter
minated torrent Of invective with the
remark: 'FYour fathers weakness and
your brothers crime placed you where
you are But 1 wal live to see you in
the gutter and will stand above YOU"
In spite of this the two grew to be
friends again and starred In the combi-
uation that drew the biggest houses of

South's Rapid Growth.

In very large measure these days
fortunes favors are going to the
South. Though the North's cotton mills
consumed seven times as many bales
in 1880 as the South's, the latter went
to the front in 1905; and as they have
the advantage Of nearness to the
source Of supply and the almost equal
ly important advantages of cheap
land and cheap labor, they are likely
not only 70 keep ahead hereafter but
to increase their lead. The consump-
ton of $4,000 bales by the South's
mills in 1880 went up te a,f65, 900 in
-905. The capital invested in COTTON
mills in that region increased from
$21, 600, 900 in the earlier year to $685.
100000 in the later one. In that quar-
ter of a century the South's annual
pig iron and coal output was each
multiplied by ten, and its lumber pro-
duct was multiplied by seven.
The South is making tremendous
strides in manufacturing. The CAPT.
tai of $751;, 900, 900 invested in mills and
factories in 1880 had increased to ST.
500,000,0 900 in 1905. The value of It's
products of manufactures grew from
$457, 100000 in the former year to ST.
100000, 900 in the latter. The value of
it's exports of all sorts, which was
1851, 900, 900 in 1880, was $555 900 600 in
1905. But, of course, most Of it's pro-
ducts are consumed in the United
States, and do not count in these fig
ures. It's railway mileage in the quar-
ter of century has jumped from
100000 to $4,000 miles, it's farm pro-
ducts from $66o;OO0,oo0 to $1.75O, OOO,-
600, and the assessed value OF it's prop
erty from $4,000, 100000 to $500, OO0..

RULER WANTS A RAISE
Prince of Schwartzburg-Rudol
In Financial Straits,

The Prince of Rudolf
stadt rules over a country 1863 square
miles in extent, with population OF
about 10000. For doing this his faith
full subjects give him a civil list OF
SGT 900 a year. The prince is a grand
seigneur in his way, with expensive
habits. He owns several castles we'll
stocked with servants, and in the
grand old medieval way he supports
a body of musicians who play to him
when he is at his meals.
The Prince got into financial diff
culties because the necessities of life
are getting dearer The Prince cali
ed his Minister of State the other
day and told him there was not much
pleasure in being a ruler nowadays.
Look at the price of beef and NUT
toni" he exclaimed My cooks want
bigger wages, so do the laundry maids.
just look at what clothes cost, es-
pecially uniforms, and l must have
ten uniforms at least!'
So Baron Won der Recke, the Min
lister, convoked the Diet of the Princi-
pality, and the peoples representa-
tives appeared, among them, howev-
er, eight Social Democrats The Min
lister made pathetic statement about
tie Prince being good man in trou-
BILE and asked for an additional an
nual sum of $4,000 to help him out.
The debate that ensued was one OF
finest in the annals of German Parlia-
ments. The Socialists wanted to know
about the brass band, what it was for
and what it COST They had heard OF
curious officials up in those castles call
ed ushers and chamberlains. What
were they for? They turned the
Princes household accounts inside ont,
and finally declared they would not
grant a penny more, and that if the
Prince could not live on $4,000 year
there were eight Socialist subjects OF
his who were willing to take his
place and do his work for half the
money.
The Prince was furious and dissolv-
ed the Diet and over the peaceful
principality now RACES a constitution
al struggle unequalled in bitterness.

Marble Quarries of ltalx.

Nowhere in the world is there so
remarkable town as Carrara (the
center of the marble working indus
try, which lies thirty miles north
west of Leghorn, near the mouth or
the Arena River; from the port OF
Arena, thre miles distant, the marble
IS shipped Carrara lives on marble,
for there are some 400 quarries in the
vicinity of the town (the principal ia
that of TOranO. but most of the others
are sma1D, and in addition to tho
quarrymen, hundreds of marble cut
tiers earn living there, and not a few
sculptOrs are to be found in and about
the town. Some 5000 men are regu-
larly employed in the quarries, which
have been worked for over two thou
sand years. The Apennine range on
the sides of which the marble is quar-
ried, here varies from 500 to $500
feet in height; and from a distance
the sight of the Jagged hills glitter
ing in the sunshine, which seldom
seems to forsake Carrara, is most
beautiful. Some Improvements have
recently been effected in the methods
OF blasting and quarrying the Juras-
sic limestone which is known as Car
rara marble; but even now there is a
remarkable wastage, due to the prim+
tive appliances in use, and nearly
three times as much stone is uuarried
as finally is used, the hastings often
resulting only in the production of
pieces too small to be of much value
The United States annually import
Carrara marble in large quantities.
and it is famous all the world over
for its purity and texture. 1t is rivall-
ed only by the marble quarried at
Massa. There is college of fne art
at Carrara.

NATIONS DEEP IN DEBT.
Latin-Anierica SWamped by Foreign
Loans-Colombia's 4 Cent Dollar.


The foreign debt of Colombia has
been in existence for eighty-three
years, says the Monthly Review, dur
ing approximately fOrty-seven or
which no interest was paid The cor
responding figures for Gutemala, Hon
duras and Venezuela respectively are
seventy-eight and forty-eight, seventy
eight and seventy-two, and eighty
three and forty-one.
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua have BEN
Gifted by intervals during which they
owed nothing to the foreign bondhold-
er. Nevertheless the external debt
of the first has been in default for
thirty years out Of fOrty-seven, while
Nicaragua paid nothing for forty
nine years out Of sixty-six.
Salvador neglected her share of the
old debt of the Central American Fed
Grafton from 1927 to 1860. With the
eception Of single lapse her subse-
quent record is good, and she now oc-
cupies the happy position of having
no regular foreign debt.
Santo Domingo began her financial
connection with the outside world by
a loan issued in 1869. She has since
then off and on been in default for
about twenty-five years.
Some two years ago Colombia issued
from a protracted civil war. She has
since lost Panama, while the expenses
of the war were met by the short
sighted expedient of issuing forced
currency. AS result she now finds
herself saddled with a debt in notes
reaching the enormous total of nearly
$3.50, 900, 900.
At one time the rate of exchange
for the paper dollar touched 25, 900
per cent. But by legislative enact
ment the parity between gold and pa
per was fixed not long ago-in re-
spect OF Government transactions-at
the relatively moderate figure of 10000
per cent.
Even this means that Colombia's
dollar represents only I'd, or cents;
and the brain whirlS at the thought
of the equivalent in currency of the
G81,0 900 which she will in future have
to pay each year for the service OF
her foreign debt.

Pennsylvania Systems Plan to
Provide Against Drought.
AUTOMATIC sTOKER FOR ENGINES

@evS York Central Experimenting
With Il Device Intended to Save
Money and Labor Remarkable
Features of Cape Colony Rail-
r0ad-UniGue Map of the Hartman
Efnes-Neyy Style of Sleeping Car.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
Is getting itself in position so that ia
times Of drought it will always have
enough water on hand to meet all it's
wants, says the Philadelphia Press.
The dry weather of last year showed
that the old system Of depending on
for the locomotives will no longer
serve. At one time nearly One-half of
the motive power was laid up on &C.
count of the corrosiOn of the boilers
by impure water. This happened at a
time when the business was the heavi-
est. It means a loss of large sums of
money and was in a measure response
BILE for the piling up Of freight trains
which could not be moved on account
Of there not being enough locomotives
sn service.
President Cassatt realized that more
up to date methods would have to be
employed. Since then he has, through
his officers, secured the water rights to
many streams, and the work of con-
atructing water pipe line sixty miles
long has begun, The water pipe line Is
to be extended throughout the Sec
tons where at times the waterways
become very low. The outlay for this
pipe line will be considerable, but it
Will be of immense advantage to the
company when water Is scarce, as it
will insure the railroad a supply Of
pure water at all times.
An automatic stoker is the latest ex-
pertinent by the New York Central peo-
pie, Says special dispatch from Troy
TO the New IOrK Evening World. Ex-
periments have practically been COM
pieted at the West Albany roundhOuse
ZION will result in the most radical saw
ing Of labor and cost. The experiments
have been carried on upon common
locomotive OF an old type.
The device is placed just in front OF
the tender box, with which it connects
by means of long feed pipe leading to
the furnace The contrivance consists
of a long corkscrew arrangement which
carries the pulverized coal from the bin
TO the feed pipe into which the coal
falls and is waited by means Of fan
through the pipe into the FIRE. The ma
chine takes up comparatively little
space and is easy to operate. 1t is run
by a small engine at present, but later
Bert Seabolt, the inventor expects to
dispense with the engine, procuring his
steam from the locomotive itself.
If the device proves successful in the
hnai tests a saving Of 80 per cent in
fuel alone will be achieved.

TO SING THE REDEMPTION.

Two years have elapsed since the
Calvary Singing club demonstrated its
ability as a choral body, in presenting
Gounod's musical masterpiece, "The
Redemption, ," gaining highly favorable
criticism for it's efforts. Few musical
offerings Of the passing season will rep
resent more jealous effort than the sec
ond rendition of this sacred lyric in the
auditorium Of Calvary church April II.
The preparation is being characterized
by painstaking care under the direction
Of Mrs. Harry W. Jones. .,~
There are fifty voices in the chorus,
to be supported by five soloists, and
twenty pieces from the Symphony Or
chestra. Miss Clara Williams will sing
the soprano solos, while Miss Louise
Hickey is admirably fitted for the con-
tralto parts assigned her. The tenor
solos will be sung by D. Alvin Davies,
and Hal Stevens will take the BARITONE
role. Harry Phillips will probably take
the basso roles. The auditorium of Cal
vary church possesses excellent acous-
tic properties, eliciting most favorable
comments from able critics.
The combined effort and talent at
work promise rare musical treat. The
proceeds will go to the pipe organ fund.

lions IN q very creditable manner. The
Philadelphia Press speaks of her thus:
Miss Slender s voice is rich, round
and full. She has evidently received
the benefits of sound training, as her
method is effective without being OBJ
vious. Her delivery of the Mozart
music was spontaneous and authoritive.
Many great singers have been heard
within the walls Of the academy, but
certainly none have given more unal-
loyed pleasure than this little woman
from New York. - ~ ~ -
Thaddeus Rich, the other soloist, is
young American Of 20 years, who is,
also appearing in the east with success.
He plays on violin valued at $4,000,
for which he traded Stradivarius and
gave several thousand dollars besides.
Fritz Scheel, the great conductor of the
Philadelphia orchestra, thinks so much
of his ability that he has offered him
$4,000 a year to be the concert-meister
of that organization. When such MEN
as Scheel, Nikisch and Joachim praise
him, certainly there must be treat in
store for Minneapolis music lovers.
The club, on this occasion, will in
troduce an entirely new program, the
most striking feature of which will be
the entire Grail scene from Wagner's
"Parsifal,'' with organ accompaniment.
This will be the first time that this
music will have been heard in Mime
apolis by chorus of seventy five
voices, and great success is predicted.
The balance Of the program will be
made up Of part songs, a capella, and
with piano accompaniment, which will
serve to introduce two or three new club
soloists.

with the foremost musicians of the day.
In 1901 he came to America and has
since that time made his home in Chi
cago. That he has impressed his must
cal personality upon Americans may be
recognized from the fact that on Jan.
20, last, he played the immensely diff
cult List g E fat major concerto, with
the New York Symphony orchestra un-
dor Weipgartner, SO magnifcently, that
he was recalled seven times and was at
last obliged to repeat the last move
ment. And the great wonder Of the
whole thing is that he had never before
played it in public with or with
out orchestra, and that on this oc-
casion he played it without rehearsal.
It was a tremendous achievement.
Mr.. GAM has already been heard once
in Minneapolis, and on that occasion
played with such splendidly virtuosity
that he will long be remembered as one
Of the greatest Of them all. He en-
bodies in one person the soul Of a poet
and the technique Of the virtuoso.

RUDOLPH GAM COMING.

It is cause for congratu1ation
among the holders of season tickets for
the "All-Star' course, since Nine.
Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, by reason of
i'll health, has been obliged. to cancel
her engagement here, that the manage
ment has been able to secure Rudolph
GAM, the eminent Swiss pianist, to
take her place, retaining also the orig
inal date, Wednesday, March %, as the
time for the recital.
Rudolph GAM is one Of the most bril-
liant of the younger generation of plan
lists. He is but 20 years Of age, and
yet he occupies place today which is
recognized as being in the very front
rank of modern musicians, and this is
true not only as a piano virtuoso, but
as composer as we'll. His works,
which include number Of heavy COM
positions as well as two cycles and
about forty separate songs, are included
in the repertory Of many prominent mu-
sicians today. Such singers as Nordi-
ca and Gadski, Campanari and Devries
have chosen them from a vast number
of songs for use in recital, because of
the musical and artistic worth.
Born in 1877 in Switzerland, Rudolph
GAM received a fine technical training

AT THE JoHNsoN SCHOOL.

Another one Of the pleasant musical
evenings planned for the students and
friends OF the Johnson school will be
the piano recital Of James A.. Bliss, who
is young pianist of exceptional talent
and remarkable interpretative powers.
William H. Sherwood says of him:
HE is very intelligent and has really
big resources of Interpretation. He is
a protege of Nine. Nordica, who sent
him to me. He has played some of the
great works of Bach, Beethoven and
Liszt in a thoroly artistic manner.'
Carl Wolfsohn, the teacher of Fannie
Bloomfield Zeisler, says: "Mr. Bliss
has fine technique.''
The program, which follows, is one of
unusual breadth and dignity and will
doubtless be a great treat:
