played the Larned ball team Sunday
on the grounds in this city the con-
test resulting in favor of the home

Clark and Stotts are new men.
The grounds were heavy from the
mud of recent rains which in meas
ure accounts for the high score,
though the Garden City team out
classed the visitors and they were I'M
able to find Clark for punched hits

the home team losing and the two
scores made were on errors Batter

A CapfuI of Wind.

The origin of the phrase, a capful
of wind" can be traced to a Morse
king, Eric VI, who died in 9O7 A. d.
He was credited with the useful power
of directing the wind to blow where he
wished by the simple method of turn
Ing his cap to that point of the COM
pass. His powers were much appreci-
ated and trusted and resulted in his
being known as WINDY cap" There is
no evidence as to whether he could reg
ulate the force of the wind as well as
The direction Presumably he could, or
his faithful believers would not have
been SO many. A ''bagful of wind" Is
another common expression and indi-
Gates something like a gale This has
been traced down to the classical leg
end of Aeolus and his captive winds
confined in bags.

Madame Patti made her third venture
In matrimony, this time being united
to the Baron Cederstrom, a young Swe-
dish nobleman who had become n rat
uralized Englishman and whose wears
at that time were exactly half those of
his bride.
PATHS castle at Craig-y-Nos is one
of the show places in Wales The house
and grounds were fitted without refer
ence to expense. A private theater is
one of the interesting apartments in
the castle, and there the great soprano
has been heard sing even comic songs
for the entertainment of her guests.
TO see Patti at home is to see the gen

- Takes Care of Voice.
The great diva's voice has been kind
| ly used by time One reason for the
fact that it has remained with her so
long is her lifelong habit-not to sing
when she is tired. Consequently, as
she has aptly put it, she is never tired
when she sings, and no abnormal strain
is placed upon her vocal cords. She Is
no believer in diet, but never eats or
drinks any food that is either too hot
or too cold, and she has always been
careful to avoid Indigestion, which. she
claims, has prematurely ruined many
singing voices.

When announcement is made that
Patti, whom her admirers acclaim as
''the Diva of the world" is about to
retire, to take her farewell of the con-
cert room, it is instantly met with an
incredulous smile. There is an inclina-
tlon also to illustrate &he smile by re-
telling the fable of the boy and the
wolf. But this time, assurance comes
from England, the great soprano really
intends to retire from public life.
Thousands of persons in both hemi-
spheres have heard the Diva sing, and
they have paid millions of dollars for
the privilege. A rough and perhaps in
adequate estimate of PATHS earnings
during the last half century credits her
with having realized about $3,5O0,OOO.
In this connection it is significant to
note that the soprano has not been
heard in public every year, and in the

The ways of the newly rich continue

an addition to the general fund of such

A certain magnate was giving a din

glittering with diamonds, leaned back
in great tufted chair and shivered
slightly. A footman went in search Of
her maid.

conceive of a singer actually acquiring
by her voice so great sum as $780,
900. He would have felt it an exagger-
alton so obvious as to be impossible,
even to a fictionist.
Patti made her first regular appear
ance on the stage as Lucia In Donizet-
it's opera, in New York, on Nov. "a,
1858. She was then only 16 years old.
Her voice at that time was described
as a flute-like, flexible soprano, which
she delivered with purity and managed
with great skill and taste. Her capa-
bilities were at once recognized, and
the great future promised her by her
critics has been amply fulfilled.
King Edward VII, as Prince OF
Wales, always one of her most devoted
admirers, first heard her sing in the
Academy of Music in this city, in the
fall of 1860. The opera was Martha"
and the young Prince was charmed.
The next year she went to England and
made her London debut as Amina in
La Somnambula," at Covent Garden
Theater. After that metropolitan al-
pearance the young sopranos fame was
assured. The next morning all Europe
rang with praises for the new prima
donna from America. For the next
twenty years she remained abroad,
singing in England. France and Russia.
Whiie abroad Patti made her first
venture. In 1868 she was
married to the Marquis de Caux, but
continued her operatic career. She took
st Petersburg by storm, and the Rus

The present period is distinguished
for two things prosperity and discon-
tent. Despite many glaring inequali
ties or inequities in the distribution of
its results, great prosperity has pre-
vailed in the United States for eight
signs of it's interruption. Yet it is "A
matter Of common remark that only in
few trying times Of great industrial
depression, when millions of working
people were deprived of opportunities
to earn a living, has there been 50 much
discomfort as is seen and heard and
felt in these times of amazing prosper
ity. Never before were attacks on the
great trusts made with such determina-
tion and effect. Never before were the
people so united and so Jealous in war
fare upon political graft in all sections.
The discomfort of the period is not
mere grumbling. 1t is enlightened de-
sire for better conditions. Such dis
content Is the parent Of all progress.
| If the American people were more con-
tent with full stomach they would
be less energetic and progressive. To
an individual, tribe, or people who
are contented, who have all they de-
sire, progress is impossible. But for
those whose ideals are higher than any
present attainment, the longing for bet
ter things, who have shown up here
and there in all the ages and who have
become more numerous and more in
sistent as one after another their aims
and longings have been gratified, the
progress of the human family would
never have advanced beyond naked bar
barism. We are discontented people
there's no denying 1t, and no reason
for trying to deny it. Because we are
discontented we hustle and get there. :
The discomfort is not at all due to the
prosperity, but the prosperity is very
largely due to the discomfort. We have
not reached perfection yet, and the fac
that we know it and kick about it Ii
the best possible assurance that affairs
will steadily grow better.

After their marriage the other day a
bride and bridegroom mounted white
horses and rode away from Ingleby,
Arncliffe, Yorkshire, to the lake dis

spent.
Attired in a gray habit with a black
velvet collar, cutaway coat and white
waistcoat with white straw three

her hands white gauntlet gloves, the
bride looked extremely picturesque.
She was Miss Phoebe Johnson, daugh-

By reviving this form of honeymoon

was given also for demonstration of
good will on the part of friends, for

village by three of the bridesmaids and
three cavaliers.
1t will be remembered that the Mar.

Ireland, her native land, last year to
Scotland in his yacht, and the yacht
was reached by boat rowed by men

United States not at all during one
stretch of two decades.
Adelina Patti is so truly n remark
able woman and artist that she actu-
ally rises superior to criticism. She
Is, in fact, a parsonage. There may
have been greater sopranos in the last
fifty years-indeed capable critics have
said so-but the names of these great
ones are known principally to the elect,
while Patti remains ''the queen of
song" Singing at prices which would
impoverish an Indian prince, Patti be-
came popular idol. Those who paid
the money to hear her always insisted
it was worth the money those who
could not afford to do so took their re-
venge in saying smart things about the
Diva, even unfavOrably criticising her.
Although she was born in Madrid
and raised in New York, Patti has al
ways been an Italian. She speaks with
equal facility Italian, French, Spanish,
German, Russian and English-no
ollull III itSSits hC
Italian tongue is her favOrite. Once in
describing her cosmopolitan sympa-
thies she remarked, II love the Italian
language, the American people, the En-
glish country and my Welsh home.'
Born in 1S43, Patti came with her
parents, her half-brothers and her sis
ters, to New York while she was still
very little girl. Even then she had a
remarkable voice. 1t was about this
time Richard Grant White first saw
her. He described her as "a slender,
swarthy, bright-eyed little girl in short
skirts, who ran into the room and
chirped at her mother, and ran out of
, It, carolng as she went through the
passageway" He asked her mother,
Madame Barili-Patti, If the little girl
promised to be singer like her sis
ters, and for answer the child, sitting
on the knee of the critic, sang little
Italian air with naivete and charm
which left an impression he never for
got She was only years old when,
in 1850 she appeared Defore the PUBIC
for the first time.
Received $1,000 n Night.
After Patti returned, in 1882, from
her European trumphs, owing to the
competition of Henry Abbey, the Amer
lean impresario, Mapleson was obliged
to raise her salary from $1,000 night
to $4,000, and finally to $4,000 a night
a sum previously unheard Of in the
annals of opera. 1t was also agreed
that the diva should be paid at
o'clock of the day she was to sing.
During the last twenty-five years
Patti has never sung in public for les
than $4,000 a night, paid in advance
