GENERAL SATISFACTION IS
ATTAINED BY RESULTS
Cullom Gains Large Majority
Over Yates OH Vote for
I. S. Senator.

CHICAGO. Aug. 4.-For tho 6rst time
in the history OF Illinois all the prim-
aries of all the parties were held on
tho same day and the voters were given
an opportunity TO express their prefer
ences through their ballots for candi-
dates, from United States Senator to
Sheriff. The new primary law passed
by q special session OF the Legislature
last spring was given Its first trial and
gave general satisfaction. In the tempes-
tuous districts In Chicago the vote was
large, but IN districts where there were
no local contests apathy was manifested
by the voters. and In three sections the
vote was so light that 1t pulled down
the total for the city to slightly over
120 900. out OF q total registration OF
5000.
Senatorial Contest Lively.
The greatest interest In the election
centered in the vote for United States
Senator and for that OF Republican Con-
gressman In the Second and Sixth dis
tricts located In Chicago The voters
cast their ballots for three candidates for
United States Senator-Shelby NJ. Cullom.

Mr.. stericker informed me that the
two little cubs had been found ten
days previously by his man in a fence
bottom, quite helpless and blind, and
apparently only day or two old.
Not seeing any sign of vixen about,
or any trace of an earth near, he
thought they would only come to an
untimely end II he left them where
they were, and so he put them In his
pocket and took them back to the
stable, where he had cat with
recently produced family of kittens.
The little cubs were at first put with
the kittens, and the old cat took to
them at once, paying as much atten-
ton to them as she did to her own
family. When they had been with
her a few days the kittens were re-
moved, so that the young cubs might
obtain all the nourishment possible;

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 thu
fiery Lima seven days-and triumphed!
Groanlng 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 II
we'll known.
In 1901 she was singing the principal
part of Mimi In Puccini's ''Vie do
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
Of Warsaw-singing Violetta in "Trav-
iata," Marguerite in Faust" Mimi In
..Vie de Boheme''-and taking fine re-.
venge on the cruel Lisbon public by an
overwhelming triumph as Media.

a HYBRID IN HARNESS.
Department Of Agriculture Has Hopes
OF Making New Beast Of Bur-
den in This Country.

BY means OF two male zebras, i'm
ported from Abyssinia as the gift OF
King Menelik, and which are now at
the National Geological park in Wash
ington, the department Of agriculture
hopes to make in this country new
beast of burden-a cross between the
zebra and the horse, says Country
Life In America. Experiments In this
direction by the French authorities
at Paris have been very successful.
The hybrid is smaller than the horse.
It is an exceedingly tough and wiry
animal and will be suited to the warm.
er sections Of the United States. The
history of the American mule is sug'
getive Of the possibilities Of the zebra.
A century ago the mule was q very
scarce animal in the United States.
Washington had done much to direct
attention to his merits and had loaned
the services of large Spanish jack,
presented to him by the king OF Spain.
But the mule did not become popular
until well into the century. At our
last census, however. we had nearly
100000 mules, with taxable value
Of $250.00O. The possibilities from
the two zebras are immense-they
may combine with the donkey and
back into the horse and thus intro
duce entirely new strains.

remained "the most beautiful woman

Paris.-That 'the most beautiful
woman of Europe" may be discomfort
ID with her job is shown by the ex-
traordinary case Of Lima Cavalisri.
As a music hall star of the first
magnitude she was hattered and feted.
She had but to show her beautiful per-
son and warble few ditties to earn
heavy money. The world had prac-
ically told her that her loveliness was
all-sumcient without talent.
Lima Cayalieri tossed aside the bril-
liant sinecure and plodded the hard
road leading to grand opera. When
Parisians learned 1t they shrugged, at
the impractical choice and as good as
forgot her. Now she has just given
them mighty jolt by coming back as
grand opera star, with rumored
engagement at the Paris opera itself;
and furthermore she has just bought
p splendid mansion in the Avenue de
Messine. But why she grew discon-
tented with being "the most beautiful
woman of Europe" and how she threw
up the music hall sinecure on the or
chance Of succeeding In grand opera
remains a secret.
The secret spring of Lina's change
Of base began with a great hope, con-
tinued through great despair and
ended In great devotion. The hope
and the despair were those of worldly
love. But the devotion was that of a
sister.
Nothing could be more striking than
the contrast between the lives chosen
by the two girls. When their widowed
mother died in Rome In 1889 Ada was

were no relatives and the property was
small, friends put them in convent

On Road to Grand Opera.
Like the camel that Is being loaded,
Lima groaned in spirit. Like the
camel, she was slow in getting started.
But. still like that reliable creature,
once started, she kept going. In 1867
the music halls saw no more of Lima
Cavalieri; and it became known that
she was diligently cultivating her voice
under Nine. Mariani-Masi.
Three years passed in work and love
and hope. Then Lina's chance came In
1900, when she was allowed to make
her debut at ne less musical center
than the Theater Royal Of Lisbon as
Media in "Pagliacci."
Unhappily, the Lisbon public is q
hard one. When It pays for grand
opera 1t insists on having something
near perfection. The debutante was
young, exceedingly lovely, with a
sweet voice: but she showed inexperi-
ence. Did she not also display nerv-
BUSINESS due to emotion over some low
ers' misunderstanding? One would
prefer to think so-for the Judging Of
Prince Alexander!

simply chased the whole company from
