said so-but the names of these great
ones are known principally to the elect,
while Patti remains 1.-The queen OF
song" Singing at prices which would
impoverish an Indian prince, Patti be-
came a popular idol Those who paid
the money to hear her always insisted
it was worth the money; those who
could not afford to do so took their re-
venge in saying smart things about the

Italian tongue is her favorite. Once In
describing her cosmopolitan sympa-

Born in 1S43, Patti came, with her
parents, her half-brothers and her sis
tiers, to New York while she was still
a very little girl. Even then she had

When announcement Is made that
Patti, whom her admirers acclaim as
1.-THE Diva of the world" Is about to
retire, to take her farewell of the con-
cert room, it Is instantly met with an
incredulous smile. There is an inclina-
ton also to illustrate the smile by re-
telling the fable of the boy and the
wolf. But this time, assurance comes
from England, the great soprano really
intends to retire from public life.
Thousands of persons in both hemi-
spheres have heard the Diva sing, and
they have paid millions of dollars for
the privilege A rough and perhaps in
adequate estimate Of PATHS earnings
during the last half century credits her
with having realized about $500, 900.
In this connection it is significant to
note that the soprano has not been
heard in public every year, and in the

that the diva should be paid at :

During the last twenty-five years
Patti has never sung In public for less
than $1,000 a night, paid in advance.
One matinee concern in Boston netted
her $685., and her share for three per-
formances in one week was $20,@5. No
story of PATHS career Is complete with
ont reference to the financial side. Her
story is one Balzac would have delight
ed to have written, because 1t deals
SO largely with vast sums Of money.
But In his day it would have been diff
ficult for even his lively imagination to
conceive of a singer actually acquiring
by her voice so great sum as $780,
600. He would have felt it an exagger-
alton SO obvious as to be impossible,

Patti made her first regular appear
ance on the stage as Lucia In Donizet-
it's opera, in New York, on Nov. "a
1853. She was then only Is years old.
Her voice at that time was described
as a fute-like, flexible soprano, which
she delivered with purity and managed
with great skill and taste. Her capa-
bilities were at once recognized, and
the great future promised her by her
critics has been amply fulfilled
King Edward VII, as Prince OF
Wales. always one Of her most devoted
admirers, first heard her sing in the
Academy of Music in this city, In the
fall Of 1860. The opera was Martha

and the young Prince was charmed.
The next year she went to England and
made her London debut as Amina In
La Somnambula," at Covent Garden
Theater. After that metropolitan ap-
pearance the young sopranos fame was
assured. The next morning all Europe
rang with praises for the new prima
donna from America. For the next
twenty years she remained abroad,
singing in England France and Russia.
Whine abroad Patti made her first
matrimonial venture. In 1868 she was
married to the Marquis de Caux. but
continued her operate career. She took
St Petersburg by storm. and the Rus
slams took up subscription of 100
rubles and presented her with a dia-
mond necklace. She purchased her
magnificent estate in Wales, Craig-y-
Nos, in 1873, after she separated from
the Marquis. She obtained a divorce
in 1885 and the following year married
Ernest Nicolini, the tenor singer whose
very pleasant voice was much marred
by an insistent tremolo. Nicolini died
in January, 1898, and in January, 1899,
Madame Patti made her third venture
in matrimony, this time being united
to the Baron Cederstrom, a young Swe-
dish nobleman who had become a nat
uralized Englishman and whose years
at that time were exactly half those of
his bride.

time Richard Grant White first saw
her. He described her as "a slender,
swarthy, bright-eyed little girl In short
skirts, who ran into the room and
chirped at her mother, and ran out Of
It, caroling as she went through the
passageway." He asked her mother,
Madame Barili-Patti, If the little girl
promised to be singer like her sis
tiers, and for answer the child, sitting
on the knee of the critic, sang little
italian air with naivete and charm
which left an impression he never for
got She was only Z years old when,
in 1850. she appeared before the public
for the first time.
Received $4,000 . Night.
After Patti returned, In 1882, from
her European triumphs, owing to the
competition Of Henry Abbey, the Amer
lean impresario, Mapleson was obliged
to raise her salary from $1,000 a night
to $4,000, and finally to 5000 a night,
. sum previously unheard of In the
