At the Theater Of Ravenna, ut the
Grand Theater OF Palermo, at the
Opera OF st. Petersburg. and notably
at the ultra-artistic Casino -Theater at
Monte Carlo she has had repeated en-

And she has bought a mansion in the

During her present summer vacation

Beautiful Old Maid.
1t Is a quiet street and rich-the
Avenue de Messine. 1t is short
street Of only "a numbers. running
from the statue of William Shake

ward Haussmann to the delightful Pare
Monceau, surrounded by its palaces.
It is a street OF the newly rich, per-
haps: few great titled families live in
1t. But those who inhabit 1t are snug
and at peace with the world. Well.
among all, there will be none more
snug than a most glorious old maid.
You know who 1t Is. There can be
but one such-"the most beautiful old
maid in the world!"
Ada Cavalieri takes charge Of Lina's
Paris mansion. That she is so like her
sister will not strike Parisians-be-
cause they will not see her. When she
goes out she will dress in sad, plain
clothes. And where she goes-to
church for the most part-Parisians
will not follow.
In her own way she is happy. II II

When Lima had begun studying With
Nine. Mariani-Masi she began to hope.
And when at last Lima was to make her
debut In grand opera at Lisbon she
was waiting anxiously to learn the re-
suit.
When she learned the pitiful result
Ada Cavalieri took a great decision.
Quitting her place at Genoa she hurried
to Paris.
She settled down beside her wound
ed and reckless sister. Did she try to
comfort her? How could the born old
maid comfort her? But 1t Is certain
that the frigid Ada wrestled with the
fiery Lima seven days-and triumphed! !!
Groaning in spirit like the camel,
Lima again renounced the easy life and
money OF the music halls. Again she
took up the burden OF grand opera.
Love, with great shining eyes. no long
er beckoned her. But on and on she
bore the burden. with her sister always
by her. How she finally succeeded Ia
well known.
In 1901 she was singing the principal
part OF Mimi in Puccini's "Vie de
Boheme" at no less an opera house
than the San Carlo OF Naples. Next she
secured a brilliant engagement for an
entire season at the Imperial theater

TEST DAMAGE SUITS.
-Four Cases Resulting from Brooklyn
Tunnel To Be Tried.

To determine the exact amount of legal dam
ages that can be claimed by the property own
ers along the line of the Brooklyn subway IN
JoraIemon-st Fulton-st and Flatbush-ave., the
board of appraisers appointed by the Rapid
Transit Commission has made four awards
These cover the various kinds of damages. and
will be used as test cases, which will be taken TO
the higher courts for adjudication.
The matter will be brought up some time this
week when motion will be made before Su-
preme Court justice Sby representatives of the
CITY for a confirmation of the report in the four
cases. The case will then be taken before the
Appellate Division.
In all there will be some four hundred claim
ants for damages along the route. The test
awards made are all in Joralemon-st what
complicates the problem is that the street has
never been legally opened. and there is some
question as to who owns some parts of it. Ihere
are some three hundred heirs of the original
JoraIemon family which owned the property
now used for the street To get this point pc
fore the courts the appraisers have awarded 81
to an unknown property owner" The three
other awards made cover the remaining phases
of the question Wilhemus Mynderse, at No.
"a Joralemon-st., owns to the centre of the
street having purchased this with his lot from
the JoraIemon heirs. Not only have his rights
under the street been trespassed upon in digging
necessary to trespass on the land under his
house also. The nature of the work at this
point made it necessary to do considerable eX,
cayating there The appraisers have AWARDED
to him damages to the amount of $1,000.
The third case is that of ex-Surrogate George
B. Abbott to whom $4,000 has been awarded
He owns the property at No 96 Joralemon-st.
and also the land to the centre of the street,
The excavating on his land was confined TO the
street.
An award of $4,000 to John hoffman, the
owner Of the property at No. 1856 Joralemon-st..
abuttsr on the street owning none of the land
beyond the line of his lot The appraisers We're
appointed by the Rapid Transit Commission 70
ascertain the damages to owners of land IN ana
abuttfng on the street" but the appraisers are
not sure whether they have the right to award
damages to one who is only an abutter.
TIE decision Of these cases by the Appellate
Division will set a precedent which will be fol-
lowed in awarding the damages in the cases or
all of the four hundred claimants The board
Of anpraisers consists of Hermanus B. Hubbard,
Thomas j. Redmond and T. Ellet Hodgskin.

FIRE ALARMS CAUSE CONFUSION.
Supply Wagon Dashes 70 Wrong Locality
Police Reserves Puzzled.

The rapidity with which seven alarms followed
each other from 1:06 to 1:48 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, complicated by the sending out of
second alarm for a fire in The Bronx for which
no frst had been sent to firehouses below the
Harlem Bridge created confusion to the f1remen
connected with the downtown apparatus and
caused one fuel supply wagon 10 dash at full
speed to a fire for which no second alarm had
been sent out. The police also We're misled.
At 1906 Fire Headquarters sent out alarm
from a box al Silver and Main SITS, for fire
in The Bronx. This alarm was not sounded in
the fire houses south of 133d-st-
Al IFS an alarm sent out from a box
at The corner Of Greene and West Sd SIS. Five
minutes later the second alarm signal was sent
out. This thought in some houses to be a
second alarm from the Greene and West Sd sts.
box as they had knowledge of The Bronx
fire. In one Of the fuel supply stations, Spring
ST, the driver did not wait for the box signal
which follows the second alarm signal, but drove
with all speed to a ire in West 4th-st. He was
told there hadn't been a second alarm and or
dered back by his superiors.
In the police stations that would send the
reserves to a second alarm fire on 4th-st., the
second alarm signal for The Bronx fire was also
! taken to be a second for the 4th-st. fire, and
: the reserves ordered out the floor The
police however waited for the box number and
! did not send out the men.
Three single alarms then followed in rapid
} succession At So from Grand and Mulberry
sts at 1873 from Ist-ave. and 76th-st, and at
IA from 2d-ave. and 107th-st which was fol-
lowed four minutes later by second alarm from
: the same box.

al the meeting of the Central Federated Union

Association Of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers. who wanted the Central Federated Union TO
indorse its strike against the American Bridge
Company. Ryan gave in detail the history Of
the strike so far as printed. and added:
We struck against the American Bridge Com
pany because ii ignored trade stipulations where
organizations We're weak and observed them
only where organizations were strong. We are
going to fight the open shop policy to the last
ditch which the American Bridge Company is
irving to Introduce. 1t is simply following the
lead of the Standard Oil Company 1t has been

do with the strike against the American Bridge
