EQUAL. TO ALL OCCASIONS
Nine. Nordica Adapts Her Voice to any
Vocal Music.

To hear Nine. Nordica, who is to sing
at the Auditorium next Friday even
ing, is to hear the highest that is posi-
BILE in vocal art. Her voice, the gift of
nature, cultivated by the greatest
teachers in the world and used with the
utmost care, is exquisite in it's purity,
sweetness and volume. She sings the
most exacting roles Of Wagner with the
same consummate ease and artistry that
she gives the dainty French song, or the
English ballad, and the timbre Of her
voice is so beautiful that it always
touches the heart Of her listeners.
It was during the last few years Of
the life Of Queen Victoria that Nine.
Nordica was summoned to sing Elsa, in
Wagfer's "Lohengrin, at Windsor
castle. The queen had never before
heard one Of the Wagner operas, and
enjoyed the occasion immensely. Later
Nine. Nordica was requested to join, the
royal party, and upon doing so received
a decoration consisting Of circle Of
diamonds surrounding disc of enam-
eled gold, bearing the royal monogram
in diamonds, and suspended from a
crown Of the same jewels, as souve-
mir. It is one Of her most valued pos.
sessions.
With Nine. Nordica will also appear
signor Angelo Patricolo, the noted
Italian pianist. Romayne Simmons
will, as in former years, act as Nine.
Nordica 8 accompanist. The seat sale
for the Nordica concert will commence
Monday morning at o'clock at the
Metropolitan Music store.

Rance OF 0UDH' LADY
SET FREE BY COURT

Judge G. L. Smith refused to mar the
Roosevelt clubs initial production Of
"The Rance Of Oudh'' at Saltwater
tonight, and when George Meader, who
is one of the club "leading ladies'
appeared before him to answer to the
charge Of appearing on the street in
woman's garb, the Judge smiled and
ordered the case dismissed.
The court stated that it was evident
that there had been no intention to
violate the law and that, as he had
been assured that the young mans ar
rest was a sufficient lesson to deter him
and others from like mistakes in the
future, he would consider the accounts
squared.
George acknowledged that he was
very much relieved when he was allowed
to leave the courtroom, and said that
his first experience was enough for him.
A crowd Of Roosevelters was on hand
to watch the denouement and the singer
was the center Of a group Of hard
joshers when he reached the outside
corridors.

CRITICISMS TECHNICAL

DOES NOT REFLECT SERIOUSLY
ON TREAsURER's OFFICE.

Public Examiner. Kerst s report on
The state treasurer s office may be made

will be referred to State Treasurer
Block and that official was in confer
ence with the examiner today.
Members of the board Of audit, for
whom the report was made, said today
that there was nothing in the report
Sto impugn the honesty or competence
Of the department. The criticisms were
on questions of method, and covered
transactions which have been the prac-
tice Of the office in all past admins
trations. One refers to computations of
interest on deposits. Country banks pay
8 per cent and city banks 2 per cent
for state money. A general average OF
PA per cent has been, struck, and this
is held to be irregular. The examiner
also objects because the trust funds
on deposit with banks have not been
kept distinct from current funds, but
the treasurer's office claims that this
is practically impossible. AS for the
| accounts themselves, everything has
| been found regular, and complete
| harmony is found between the books
of the auditor and the treasurer. Mem
bers Of the board, which includes the
governor, secretary Of state and attor-
ney general, consider all criticisms
technical, and will do nothing with
them except to turn the report over tc

design and awarded the contract for
the monument, which must be COM
done by the Van Amringe Granite
company of Boston and the statue will
be executed by William Copper, an
eminent New York sculptor. His de-
sign for the statue was part OF the
Van Amringe proposition, and was con-
sidered the finest of the twenty sub
mitted. The contract includes the three
regimental memorials and three stone
markers, showing the advanced posi-
tions reached by each regiment. The
total cost will be $23,7O0. The legisla.
tive appropriation Of $4,000 will cover
this and also the expenses of the com.
missioners, who have made repeated
trips to Vicksburg and to, New York
work within year.
| The granite obelisk will be an i'm

HOPE OF FAIR EASTER
SHINES THRU CLOUDS

One ray of hope for the fair maid
with the new Easter bonnet shines thru
the clouds and sleet which are the lot
of Minneapolis today, and that is the
prediction by the weather bureau. It
reads: Fair tonight and Sunday;
warmer Sunday"
This encouraging promise is backed
by the showing Of the weather map.
Up in the Saskatchewan weather foun-
dry they are already turning out a
good batch Of azure skies for use on
Easter Sunday, and if the goods are
delivered with the usual speed, Min
neapolis will nave sunshine and balmy
breezes by church time tomorrow
morning.
The river bulletin down in the lower
righthand corner Of the weather map
sheet is showing unmistakable signs of
spring. The Mississippi is rising. At
st. Paul the Gauge reads 100 feet, a
rise of OIL inch in twenty-four hours.
This means that far to. the north the
SHOWS which lie under the shelterine
branches Of the great pine woods are
beginning to feel the approach Of the
sun and are silently melting away and
swelling the great river. It means
that spring has a full Nelson griT
on the far north and that winter is be
ing worsted in his citadel.
