Now the Most Successful Of French Tenors-He's
Coming to America to Sing in Grand Opera.

part of Prometheus In Belgium, but
he returned to. Paris Immediately after
wards. The first foreign engagement
which he has accepted is consequently
that for which he is now scheduled at
the Metropolitan opera house in New
York.
Rousseliere has a clear. ringing voice
of fine quality and much fexibility with
an extended register and particularly
good high notes. He is a good actor,
too, and puts all his youthful vigor
His chief successes have been in
"Faust,,' "Romeo, - tsLohengrin,''
"Tannhauser, !" "The Huguenots,'' and
Samson
Rousseliere is much liked among his
fellow singers at the opera, because he
possesses the trait, rare among musi-
clans, OF being good.natured and bereft
of jealousy. He has had unpleasant
nesses with nobody, and has never been
known to- speak i'll of anybody, and he
is always cordial towards newcomers,
on whom the older artists generally
turn the cold shoulder.
One instance of this was shown when
Bessie Abbott of New York made her
debut as s.Juliette' at the opera
several years ago. Alvarez, who had
been down on the program to sing
Romeo that night, refused to appear as
soon as he heard he was to be with a
~debutante, for altho his. voice was de-
teriorated.s he is still sufficiently popu-
lar with the public to be able to put
on airs. As soon as Rousseliere heard
of this, he went and offered to sing,
ard he is said to have expressed keen
disappointment 20 Miss Abbott ON
learning that another tenor, Affre, had
already volunteered and had been sub
stituted for Alvarez.

MADE in Ireland.' -
In: Dublin all things are possible.
We have risen to the occasion and
taken Lady Aberdeen at her word. She
made the suggestion'that she would like
to give a big garden party early in the
summer and wondered if it was pos
sible that Ireland could supply her for
the occasion with every article she
crown of her clever head, Of genuine
home manufacture. Wait a minute.
She also asked If Dublin would under
take to dress every: one; Of her guests,
men as well as women. And Dublin
replied, "Rather."
This garden party will be the most
original thing of its kind ever held in
Dublin, and it certainly Should give
an extraordinary impetus to Irish trade.
Lady Aberdeen has laid it down that
each of her guests must pledge his or
her word Of honor that everything he
or she wears has not on1y~sbeen pur-
county by Irish hands. Owing to the
fact Of their being liberals-Lady
Aberdeen herself is a radical of, the
radicals-the viceregal circle Of the
present regime is a much larger, one
than that Of the Dudleys or any of, the
latter's predecessors, SO it goes without
saying the garden party in question
will be an immense one. On. the mo
mentous occasion the great ladies will
no doubt, wear. Irish lace or .poplin
gowns. For those who do not care tc
rush to this expense there will be the
Irish linen frocks, of which some Bel

1T is learned that the cutoff will

it will be half a mile shorter than the

the work of construction is expected

SCISSOR much above the head of a sub

nary ability is pretty sure of reaping

To sum up, let me say that the cleri-
cal side of the railroad business offers
good opportunity, but probably not SO
much as does the clerical side of the
mercantile business. The operating
department. usually presents good. OPP
portunities to the boys of mechanical
capacity, who are athletic master their
ability, and to practically utilize it,
and who, moreover, are natural
workers and willing to work hard, to
begin at the bottom, with a full reali-
cation that promotion depends upon
abilitysand upon the safe yet quick
action of ability.
The slow boy has no business in the
railroad business; nor has the quick
boy, if his rapidity is not under the
control of dependable discretion.
The boy who is considering the rail.
road business is advised to place him
self in direct personal communication
with railroad men. [ would advise him
to talk with men representing vari,
GUS departments Of ra~ilroading. All
of us are more. or less biased, and oc.
casionally we unintentionally give false
| advice. For this reason, a consultation
with several railroad men, each repre-.
senting a different department, will en-.
able the boy to obtain in advance q
better idea Of &what the railroad really
offers-its real advantages and. disad
vantages. Railroad men, as a rule, art
cordial, and are willing to give advice
and information.
w. j. Wilgus, vice president of tn,

road, in a letter to the author, says:
'"lTo the young men of sound princi
