The Oriqinal Wagner Singer

Speaking of Josef Tichatschek,
whose one hundredth birthday was
celebrated In musical circles July IL,
a Prague paper says: HE was the
original Wagner singer. He was the
one who laid the foundation for Wag'
ner's great triumphs. AS the name
indicates, he was Bohemian, born IN
1907, the son of poor weavers at
Weckelsdorf. He began his career as
q chorus boy in the Benedictine clois'
ter near his home, and, like many other
great singers, he studied medicine, but
deserted the Vienna university to be
come a member Of the Royal Opera. In
1898 he went to Dresden, where he
won his laurels and where he re
NAMED In active service for thirty
two years. In october, 1912, the frs'
performance of 'Rienzi' took place al
Dresden. Wagner was a struggling
musician In Paris at the time, and the
performance won for him the di'
rectorship of the Dresden Opera
From that day forward there was q
brotherly friendship between the mas
ter and the singer, which lasted until
Wagner died."

A lonq Search.

One Of the portraits Of Revolutionary
heroes which hang in independence
hall, Philadelphia, had up to a short
time ago been unidentified. One after
another all the other pictures were cor
rectly named and placed, but this face
hung in a place Of honor, unknown.
For six years a committee of Daugh-
tiers of the Revolution have worked,
endeavoring to penetrate the mystery
of this portrait, and at last their en-
deavors have been successful Through
an engraving made in 1910 the picture
has been placed and its subject identi-
fed as Captain William Smith Of South
Carolina.
Captain Smiths name does not occur
often in the history Of the war. He
was only eighteen years old when TIE
British invaded South Carolina. But
boy as he was, he organized company
and, with the help Of a Georgia troop
successfully attacked an English gar
rison. His picture was painted by
James Sharpless and has hung these
many years, keeping its secret In the
faces Of the inqulring or Indifferent

The Voice and the Hand.

tirely scientific Of the alleged connec-
ton between the physical and mental
character Of an individual and his
handwriting NJ. SOlonge Pellat, an e1-
pert attached to the tribunal OF tne
Seine, Paris, maintains that distinct
relations exist between the handwrit-
ING and the voice. An expert, he de-
clares. can determine from the hano-
writing whether the writer's voice Is
high or low in pitch, sonorous or velied'
harsh or soft and agreeable. But ne
remarks that In all cases where IL IS
sought to determine character from
handwriting great pains should be tax
on TO choose for examination only writ
ing that has been done under normal

Minors and tho Law.

There Is a widespread fallacy that
no act of a minor is binding In law
Those who entertain that opinion may
be interested in decision handed
down by the appellate division or tne
New York supreme court. The de-
cision had to do with a suit for Dam
ages brought against railway com
pany by a mother who had intrusteo
the checking of trunk to her hfteen-
year-old son. The lock on the trunk
being defective, the company when
II checked the trunk secured from tne
boy a signed release from RESPONSE
bility. In handing down Its decision
which was favorable to the railway
company, the court said, The rae
that the son was minor did not III
capacitate him from acting as al
agent. the we'll known rule being ina
contracts made by an infant as al
agent are binding upon the principal
