Sembrich Talks Delightfully."-
 Of Her Early Experiences.

She told how her father had made her copy pages of music for him; he was poor and had to transcribe from bor- rowed works.
 ".oh. yes!" exclaimed Madame Sem brich, T began early. But l can play tn efirst piece I ever learned. I shall show you;' and then she sat at the piano and, cramping her fingers and distCrting her face in admirable imita- tion of the positively painfuul efforts of her initial performance, she punk plunk- -plunked what sounded like monotone of five-fingered inanity She joined merrily in the laughter and mock applause with which her rendi- ton was received.
 That is not all he taught you, Prof. 5tengel remarked accusingly.
 ''Oh, no, no,' she confessed. He taught me out of school books. When he couldN not sleep at night he would call to me. "Marcella, Marce.la," You may be sure that I was very careful to be asleep and not hear him. Then he would say, Marcella' if you do not hear me--", and Mime. Sem brieh after pausing effectively for a deliciously droll mimicry of the threat her father made, continued.
 Then I would respond and he would ask, how much are two times two? and would catechize me on all l had was a real night school, and 1t had two uses; 1t was scholastic discipline for me and a narcotic for my father.
 With her father, too, Mime. Sembrich studied the violin, and it is notable that as violiniste or as a pianist she is excellent; without her voice she could be a famous musician.
 Mime. Sembrich and her party arriv- ed in Montgomery yesterday morning from Savannah where they spent Holy Week 1 nabsolute quietude.
 With her are her husband, Guillaume Stengel lSembrich. Ellison VanHoose. tenor, Frank LeForge, pianist, both of whom are Americans, and David A. Montagnon. who represents her mana ger. The entire party is staying at the New Exchange.
 It was said last night that Nme. Sembrich would probably not leave the hotel except to go to the Montgomery Theatre for the concert tonight, but that if the weather permitted she would drive about the City, for she is an indefatigable seer of anything that is called sight" and counts that day lost whose low descending sun sees the negative of no picture made by her camera.
 They will leave Montgomery We'd nesday morning for Birmingham, where the next concert will be given.

Madame Sembrich chats and is alarming. Probably she can converse. but she didn't Monday night when with her husband, Prof. Guillaume Stengel- 9embrfch and her pianist Frank La OFrge. she received reporter for The Advertiser in her parlor at the New Exchange Hotel.
 The reporter had been assigned to perform that very stiff and stately du- ty. interview a celebrity: he fail ed siEnally. Instead of gaining an i'm terview he was introduced to woman so spontaneously clever and interest < ing, so gracious and affable, that the 1nterview became a friendly visitation, the hotel parlor a home, the celebrity cordial hostess, and the lesser sa- tefIftes of the constellation oe which the great soprano is the bright par ticuiar star. acquaintances of quick hut delightful making.
 When the preliminary introductions and greetings had been made, Madame Sembrich was assured that she would not be asked

Joke Family Makes q Day ofH,
 But Casualties ProUe to Be FelD.

The casualties again excepting the recent unpleasantness grandly denom- mated The Municipal Campaign--were few. Several persons ate, or at least monentarily champed cotton-stufed mullins; quite a few who were duly qualified in memory of Grand-father Clause brought shame upon the name of that very venerable ancestor by mas ticating soap -caramels as if they had never attained the voting age. Some others went into the drug store to see a piece of the comet that never came. Oh. just the usual things!
 The weather played its little prank a day too early. The Pretty Person had to forego a very taking frock and a perfect dear of droop shape toque, and The Perfectly Appareled Person wore his last falls Sunday suit and black derby instead of the ice-creams and the fearfully and wonderfully made Twentieth Century Straw with which he had intended to adorn rather than protect the spherical pole that he pays a dollar and four-bits year for own ing whether he uses 1t or not Per haps those were the only pcople--ex> cept. of course, you know who--that the black sheep of the family hit very hard.

In a circular issued by General Man

ed a circular from j. j. Ryan, super
intendent of motive power on the At

"A controversy has arisen as to
which of the organizations mentioned
(the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-

tate or deal with the management of
these lines with respect to rules, regu-
lations and pay, and particulrly regu-
%lations. affecting seniority of engineers
in the switching service.
Each Makes Claims.
The accredited representatives of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men contend, in effect, that all matters
concerning rules, regulations and rates
of pay of engineers in the switching
service should be regulated by contract
between the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and these companies.
The accredited representatives of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
on the other hand, contend that all
matters pertaining to the welfare of
all engineers should be dealt with by
agreement between them and the man
agement of these companies. The mat
