"CARNEN" AT THE OPERA.
First Performance This Season OF BIzet's
Opera.

There was a time when Rizct's most
popular opera did not wait until the last
nights Of the opera season TO have a hear
ing at the Metropolitan. Nine. Calvh
used to sing the title role In those days,
and the public has with rare fidelity ~re-
fused to accept any singer in her place.
Carmen" might be an acceptable incident
OF the season without the French soprano;
hut the old time enthusiasm for the work
is always held In allegiance for her return.
Miss Fremstad's admirable performance
last winter a wakpned none of the former
ayldity To hear PiZet's music, although it
would be captious to demand better sing
ing and acting than hers. But she was
not Nine. Calve and the public remained
cold.
Miss Fremstad was the Carmen Of last
nights performance. The theatre was
crowded, but the gathering was not in her
honor. Signor Caruso was singing Don
Joee for the first time here and making his
second appearance in French. In these
days, when New York is no longer opera
mad, but Caruso mad, this was sufficient
occasion for the audience and its enthusi-
asm. 1t may be said at the outset for the
comfort of the tenor's admirers, that he
put another success to his credit.
The greatest beauty of his voice is not
revealed is French music nor when he sings
in the French language.
He phrased the omanc in the second
act, which is the vocal test Of all Dor Jose's,
with ~uneXpected delicacy and finish, and
colored it with a warmth OF passion that
none Of his predecessors exceeded. And
he revealed a beauty of one that none OF
them in recent years has possessed. The
tenor made in all respects n much more
successful essay IN French opera last night
thar his performance OF Flnst led his
cohorts to expect.
There were occasional Italicisms in his
acting and the most striking Of these came
after the flower song in the second act. He
refused to repeat it in spite OF the vociferous
and imperative demand, but shook OF
Garments ardent embraces long enough
to stand up and bow in acknowledgment
Of the applause. Then he fitted himself
once more into his attitude, to the relief
Of Miss Fremstad, who was obviously
astonished at the proceedings.
Miss Bessie ABBOTT, who was a new come
in the sympathetic role of Micdeld, sang
the music tentatively and with scarcely
sufficient voice to reveal it's beauty. M:
Gourmet, who was indisposed and required
the services Of a physician during the per-
Torrance, sang EscdmiGo. Other familiar
performers were Mines. Jacoby and Ralph
and NM. Dufriche and Reiss Miss Frem-
gtad's Carmen was never more alluring and
dramatic than it wa last night. But what
q misfortune to succeed Nine. Calve in a
role that the public refuses to separate
from her irresistible personality.

JuNKMAN BuILps SPITE HOUSE
And Advertiscs That None but Negroes
and Italians Need Apply for Flats.

YoNKRRs, March 5.-People living in the
neighborhood OF st. Andrews Memorial
Church are disturbed over the erection
of a spite house by James Callahan, a junk
man, within fifty feet Of their church and
in the midst Of a colony OF handsome private
residences. The new house Is to contain
twentv-four apartments Of three rooms
each. and Callahan has advertised that only
Italian or negro families need apply. He
has erected two flag poles on the house
from which the Italian flag will float, and
savs that he will decorate the house with
the advertisements Of department stores.
Callahan at one time kept a junGshop
near by. The %neighbors complained to the
Board OF Health, but as their protests
worked slowly they finally bought the
property occupied by the junk shop at a
big price. Callahan felt angry and threat
ened all kinds Of punishment. At last he
hit upon the plan Of a spite house and pre-
pared to build it on the plot OF ground
occupied by his own home.
The neighbors did not think he was
serious until the foundations were dug
and the plans fled with the Building De-
partment. Then several offer III were made
to him for the property, but his price was
considered p%rohibitive. He has now
finished the building and Ia preparing to
rent 1t. Meanwhile the neighbors are
preparing to erect high fencing all around
the property or their lines.

NATION BOYLE DEAD.
For Nearly 40 fears She Helped Immigrant
Girls to Find Work.

Mrs. Theresa Boyle, for nearly forty
years matron of the Immigrant Free Labor
Bureau at the Barge Ofice-died at 10 o'clock
Sunday night of cancer on the liver.
Every housewife who in the last two
generations has engaged an immigrant
girl at the Barge Office has met Mrs. Boyle.
1t was Barge Office gossip that she was first
cousin to Lord Roberts, but this she would
neither confirm nor deny.
She hung above her head a W arning
notice to servant hunters" as she used to
say, that they must have letters OF intro
duction from reputable business rnen-not
from ~loafers, nor saloon people, nor poll
keeper with suspicion. Il the atyrant" sug-
gested a wage OF $40 a month, Mrs, Boyle
would look quickly at all points OF the
compass and finally burst out indignantly
that her girls were not looking for a charity
home.
To letters that came out of the city Mrs.
Boyle would send scorching replies. She
knew, she said, what the fate of the poor
critters" would be II they departed far from
her. No, she would have them near where
they could conveniently tell her their
troubles.
The most remarkable thing about Mrs.
Boyle's long career at the Barge Office and
Castle Garden was that up to a year ago
abe missed only n day in two generations.
1t was not the Day OF the DIZzard IN 1883,
either, for even then she was the sole person
to put in an appearance at the Battery. 1t
was upon the death Of her son, December 1,
1905, that she absented herself. After that
she rapidly failed.
Mrs. Boyle was never ayerse to making a
match for her children-the immigrant
giris-especially the older ones. She re-
ceived many letters from lonely farmers.
She would never send the girl out, but
wrote the supplicant to come on. When
he would arrive she would step lightly to
the servants room and call out:
Bridget, my dear, here's the gentleman
to see you"
Bridget" ged about As winters, with nc
springs, would trip forward. Before the
anna zed farmer could demonstrate, Mrs.
Boyle would push the couple toward the
exit. with the words: my dears, ia Ike a walk
around the Battery, then come back and tell
me how you like each other"
In a like manner she made a speciality OF
prevailing upon housewives to accept mar
ried couples with children. Last year she
pla ced seventy girls with husbands in
private homes. Her last act was a report
showing that she pla oed 1000 girls at service
In 1905. She drew attention to the fact that
most OF them were Germans and Irish, and
that only ~ were Scandina VANS, 81 English,
II Polish, s Hung rians, Q French and Q
Russia ma.

OUR CHANCE TO AID CHINA.
Missionary Is Going 10 Ask President 10
Uae Indemnity Fund.

The Rev DR.. Arthur H.. Smith, q Con-
g~regational missionary In China for the
last thirty-three years, told the Presby-
terrain Union at the Savoy last night that
he Is to call on President Roosevelt at the
White House this aft ernoon, and that
he will suggest 10 the President that the
go, 900, 600 secured as indemnity from
China at the end Of the Boxer uprising be
used to ~reestablish amicable relations be-
tween China and the United States. He
said:
This is the crucial time-the time Of
crisis in the relations that China and the
United States are tolhave with one another.
1t Is a providential time. We are offered
the greatest opportunity one country has
aver had to,help another l hope you will
see it and Ilhope the President may see 1t.
Here Is a chance for US to say: The
United States Is esse ntially friendly to
China We want to help you. Let us
send over a commission to you to find out
what you want. Send over your students
TO us and we will give them opportunity
for education in our schools and colleges
There is about $40, 900 900 In Chinese
indemnity money lying IDLE In the United
States Treasury. Now, that's a very large
bull VI IlloiipJ oiAu mum Noh 10 NohO AVN
IL. Shall we not take half Of 1t for the pur-
pose Of educating Chinese stuoents here2
Let us tell China to send us over 500 or 900
Of her brightest young men. America
ought to reach out her higher sentiment
to help forward the higher sentiment Of
China. Let also the Y. NJ. G. A., which Is
entirely undenominational, be helped. There
Is in China a great educational board which
has had translated into Chinese the leading
Western text books. 1t lacks money to
publish ana distribute them throughout
the empire. 1t ought also to have help.
Germany, France, Great Britain and
Japan are seeking for a foothold, and once
they get II the chance Of the United States
Is ended. Our opportunity is to show
China that we are morally and ethically
great. We should say to China:
We want to be what we should be, and
what we AVE long pretended to be, Liberty
enlightening the world"
DR.. Smith had no sympathy, he said with
talk of a yellow peril"
Such" he said. "is a psychological as
we'll as a physical im~poesibility. 1t is
absurd to say that a great Chinese army
will sometime descend on the West. China
is not a military nation"
The second Chinese commission, which
is to arrive In New York shortly is to be
entertained at a dinner at the University
Club on Saturday evening. About one
hundred guests are expected, it was said.

DEUEL. ON THE BENCH AGAIN.
Advised by His Colleagues That II Is Proper
for Him to Sit.

Justice Joseph NJ. Deuel. Of the Court OF
Special Sessions resumed his seat on the
bench Yesterday morning, after an absence
of two months in Florida, where the Davy
Crockett coons go for the winter. Justice
Deuel. seemed to be greatly improved in
health and all traces Of the strain he went
through in the Norman Hapgood trial for
.oriminal libel when his connection with
Toun Topics was brought out had vanished
from his face. He appeared to be in the
best Of health and spirits and went at the
work before him like a man who enjoyed
the job. There we're over 100 cases on the
calendar. Justice Deuel. presided. On his
right sat Justice Olmsted and on his left
Justice MoKean. Although none but those
directly interested in the. cases on the cal
endar was allowed to enter. the court room
was crowded. Photographers who sought
to snap Deuel. were sternly suppressed.
Before court convened Justice deuel. had
a talk with his colleagues, in which he was
advised that there was nothing wrong or
improper In his sitting pending decision
on the charges that have been preferred
the Supreme Court by District Attorney
Jerome, Edward M. Shepard and James
W. Claiborne. II was held that these charges,
which were brought with q view to the
removal Of Justice Deuel., in no way pre-
vented him from acting In his official capac-
ity while the higher court was looking into
the matter. When asked about this phase
Of the matter, one Of the other Justices said:
why should Justice Deuel. not sit2 Do
YOU think IL Ia right that the other Justices
going TO shirk his responsibilities because
public sentiment says this or that. We do
not know whether public sentiment Is right
or not in this case
Justice Deuel. said that he might have
something to say about the charges pre-
ferred ageinst him before the week was
over, but he declined to talk about the
matter Yesterday.

There is a manufacturer who
is to-day using a list ofmediums
reaching FIVE million people.
He began four years ago with
a forty-two-line ad. in The
LADIES Home JOURNAL. The
forty-two-line outline was a ten
tative one, not made in any
sure consciousness that it would
be a good investment. Step by
step this manufacturer scaled
the advertising heights, until
now he is greatly disappointed
in not being able to buy a back
cover of The LADIES HOME
JOURNAL at FIVE thousand
dollars. He is more willing
to spend this FIVE thousand
dollars as only a part of his
appropriation for a month than
he was to spend two hundred
and 6fty-two dollars when it
was his entire appropriation for
a year.
This shows, frst, the strong,
increasing CONSCIOUSNESS on the
part of a good advertiser that
an advertising appropriation is
a wise investment, and second,
that a large expenditure is small
when the full value is delivered.

FOG AT SEA.
oae os the Great Perls the Mariner
Has to FQht.

Every device that human ingenui-
ty could suggest has been tried to
make the peril of fog at sea less,
but so far with very little avail. Tho
chief reason is that fog deprives the
sailor Of his two most necessary
senses-sight and hearing. You see
a light gIimmering through a fog
1t may be fifty yards or a quarter OF
a mile away, according to the con-
ditions, and hitting or missing it Is
merely a matter Of chance.
SO, too, in a fog YOU NAV hear
fog horns braying and sirens
screaming all about you, but you
haven't a notion where they come
from or how far they are off until
you hit something or something hits
you. Of the horrors that must hap
pen on a crowded liner sinking in a
dense fog the less said the better.
For many years there has been an
interesting controversy among sea
men which is worth mentioning
briefly Is it safer to go full speed
ahead or dead slow through a fog?
On the one hand it is argued
Given a fog area fifty miles across,
go through it at twenty knots, and
you reduce the possible collision
time to two hours and a half. At
ten knots you are five hours in it
and double your chances of hitting
or being HIT while at five knots YOU
would have ten hours fog and four
times the risk of collision.
This is perfectly sound as far as it
goes, though it must be confessed
there is a certain amount of selfish
ness in the argument \ liner rush
ing through fog at twenty knots
an hour may be a danger to other
craft, but she is practically safe her
self unless she hit an iceberg or
some very big ship.-Pearson's.

Those who gave this little port on

with the Toni, to which the Roman
poet, Ovid, was Banished by the
Emperor Augustus because of the
unwholesome character Of his de-
cadent poetry, according to the en-
peror; because he had too muck
knowledge of a secret that panied
Augustus, according to the poets
