that there is q high percentage Of stu

GIRL TEACHES PATTI
One of De Reszke's Pupils Leading an
Ideal Life at Craig-y-Nos.
New York Times

New YORK Times.
Miss Florence Stevens of East Or
ange, who for two months has been
with Adelina Patti at Craig-y-Nos. in
structing her in the De Reszke method,
has written to her friends at home a
letter telling how she came to get her
engagement. Miss Stevens was the
soprano in Trinity Episcopal church
choir, Newark, until she, went abroad
three years ago for vocal studies. She
enrolled as a pupil of De Reszke In
Paris, and soon attracted his attention
by responsiveness to his training.
The charges eventually became too
heavy a burden upon her resources and
she told the tenor that she feared she
would have to stop. He continued her
lessons and made her an Instructor In
his preparatory Department.
Nine. Patti called at the studio to
seek instruction in the method that en-
abled De Reszke at 55 to sing with the
charm of earlier days. He could not
take from classes of students who had
long been attending his studio the time
that so distinguished a pupil would re-
quire, but he commended Mis- Stevens
| as one who knew his method thoroly,
and Nine. Patti took Miss Stevens to
her Welsh castle.
Miss Stevens writes that at Craig-y-
Nos she is leading an ideal lifel Nine.
! Patti has provided for her maid, and
| in every way is making her staytenjoy-
| able. When the madame has leaned as
much of the De Reszke method is she
| wishes, Miss Stevens will return 70 the
studio in Paris and resume her work
| there.

BEAUTIFIES VILLA
Transformation at Sandy Point, New.
port, Made by TranspIantinP Trees.

PORT, mace Dy VTanSplant1ng Trees.
Newport, R. L-Slowly but very
effectively Sandy Point, the country
place of Mr.. and Mrs. Reginald G. Van
derbilt, is being beautifed. When they
purchased the estate there was not
tree upon it, and even after Mr.. Van
derbilt had had few set out the place
had a barren aspect that was quite dis
pleasing from a distance. In fact, q
broad stretch of land with number
of buildings, large and small and of
varied design, upon it, could not very
well have an attractive appearance.
Approaching this, Mr.. Vanderbilt re-
Gently purchased the old Stanton farm
near by, partly for the land, but chief
ly for the fine trees that grew upon it.
These trees, mostly naples, are now
being taken up one by one and trans
ferred to Sandy Point under the direc-
ton of landscape gardener, who hap
pens, under the circumstances, to be
one Of the busiest men on the island.
Before Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt went
away they settled upon plans for the
changes to Sandy Point, and the trees
are now being set out methodically in
accordance with the drafts. Already
the appearance in a general way has
been very much improved, and when
the foliage develops in a few weeks
the transformation Of Sandy Point IS al.
most utter barrenness to an out-and out
show place will be complete.

SCIENCE AND MEDIUMS
Facts Once Held to Be Miracles, but
Conceded by Modern Science.

Vance Thompson in Everybody's.
Spiritualism is the successor Of the
medieval occultism and Of the older
magic. Today science, without accept
ing its manifestations, studies them;
and in these troubled waters almost all
physics is founded have been fished up.
Like magnetism, it has drawn the atten-
tion Of physicians to the phenomena Of
induced sleep and has given many Of
the data for the study Of hypnosis and
suggestion. The mediums, who believe,
like the ancient pythonesses, that they
are possessed by foreign spirits, have
served for the study Of the change Of
shown that the prodigies, diabolic and
divine, recorded in all early religions,
were not so fabulous as the critical
fancied. r.. :
At all events science admits that
there is a force-cal it psychic as
Crookes does, neuric with Baretz, vital
with Baraduc, or the odic force of

measured and described which leaves

saves or destroys. Plato knew it. Great

NEW YORK COTTON, April s.-The cotton

points, led by the new crop months, which were
Influenced by continued reports of delayed crop
preparations and approximations Of a food along

weather was more favorable, however, there
was no sign of important bull support and the
tered liquidation and selling by room bears. The
old crop was relatively easy On the decline and
showed net loss of about .3@5 points, while
the new crop held close to yesterdays finals.

A "FAVORITE DIRECTOR"
He Attended Meetings, Looked Digni.
fed and Gave No Trouble.
Henry Clews' Market I,etter


After the recent unfortunate expe-
rlence it would appear that the one
man power management of corpora
tons bad better end, as well as so-called
dummy directors, and give place to
open and above-board management:
also to the frequent publication Of
statements by expert bookkeepers as
result Of a thoro examination. I once
knew a man Of very great business re-
nown, who during the last thirty wears
OF his life was much sought after be-
cause he possessed the qualifications
necessary. to make him most salts
factory director, hence he was connect
ed with q very large number Of COM
panles: Hes was a man Of wealth: re-
tired from business and possessed Of a
corporal capacity, but it was Of the
savoirdupois kind. His mental oualif-
cations consisted in his always attend
ing punctually all the meetings. He
came early and stayed to the end:
watched closely to determine which
way the majority vote was going. and
always went with it. He Was never
= known to open, his mouth except when
the luncheon was served after the di-
rectors meeting had adjourned. He
was much lamented by corporation man
}agement when he died. He was their
fayorite director, on the ground. as
claimed, that he gave no trouble and
was perfectly satisfied with. the result
OF every meeting when he was handed
his So goldpiece for attendance, which
caused him to 90 home rejoicing.
