MELBA's BEGINNING.

During the years Immediately
preceding my first and, for me, my
most memorable visit to Europe, the
late Marquis of Normandy was gov
crnor Of Victoria. At that time |
was regarded in Melbourne as a very
good amateur pianist, much in re-
quest at private parties, at which !
always played, and on very rare oc-
casions also sang. AT one of these
functions, given at government
house, | gave some songs between
the pianoforte selections, and the
Marchioncss Of Normandy, in
thanking me, said, "Child. some dav
You will give up the piano for sing

ment that set me seriously thinking
Of a career as singer had al

professional in music-pianist, or

thing in music, at any rate; but
from that moment l knew in an ir-

MAIL FOR RIVER LANDINGS.
Contracts With Steamboat Line!
Discontinued.

Mail contracts with the Randall and
Norfolk and Washington steamboat lines
have been discontinued for the sake OF
economy, according to statement given
out in the Office of the second assistant
postmaster general and this policy Is
being extended over the whole country
wherever it is found that the work done
by steamboat lines in delivering mails
can be performed equally well and more
cheaply by star routes, rural delivery or
railways.
1t is said that the three offices served
by the Randall lne-Fort Washington,
Indian Head and Marshall Hall-did a
total business of about $500, while 1000
was paid to the steamship line for car
rying the mails. From Glymont bag
was carried daily to Indian Head for
transportation by steamer but Glymont
has been discontinued as an office, as has
Gunston, Va. across the river Hence
forth Indian Head and Fort Washington
will be served by the government tug.
Indian Head. while mail will be carried
to Marshall Hall by star route originat-
ing in this city and passing through the
town of Thrift, about half way. At
Thrift the carrier from Washington meets
the carrier from Marshall Hall, and they
exchange mail and retrace their routes
The carrying of mail between Norfolk
and Washington on the Norfolk and
Washington line was discontinued, it is
said because better service was given by
the railway. and almost no mail was sent
by boat By disseminating the service
the clerks and equipment are released
for use where they are said to be more
needed

EXCURSIONS.

There are prospects that the James
town exposition may be prolonged for
some time, possibly until after December r
16 when the great fleet of battleships des-
tined to sail the Pacific rendezvous at
Hampton roads and weigh anchor for
their long cruise. Cool weather has af-
fected the attendance but little, and the
various exhibits, displays, etc, are al in
position. From this city the most com
Portable and pleasantest route to James
town and Norfolk is via the modern
boats of the Norfolk and Washington line.
Regular night steamers leave daily at $50
pm, but day boats now sail every
other day on the odd dates, s a. M, instead
of daily. Landings are made at Old
Point Comfort directly opposite the ex-
position grounds both going and coming.
The preference given travel by boats is
certainly justified in the case of these
steamers Their appointments mod
ern in every respect, staterOoms com
fortably furnished, the dining service
satisfying, and there is plenty of inter
st to see along the Potomac and in the
Chesapeake. Connections for all points
are made at Norfolk. City offices are To-
Gated at 9TH street wharf and at 100 18th
