The Tetrazzini Furor.

Nine. Tetrazzini, who recently Gre
sted such a Juror In New York. had
stirred up like enthusiasm in London.
Before she sang at the Manhattan,
a critic of the Daily Mail (London)
hid this to say OF her:
Nine Tetrazzini, who on Saturday
night made one of those rare sensa-
tons which herald the approach of 4
new diva. has already achieved some
thing like fame in South America
and on the Continent. But she
came to us with no flourish of trump
cts, a singer to IL intents and pu-
pose; unknown.
To-day all London will be hail
ing he event of a new operate star
one of those commanding figures
which sweep across the musical hoei-
Zon once. perhaps, In a generation.
For Nine. Tetrazzini's impersonati3n
of Violetta In la TraViata' shows her
the equal of a Patti or a Media, aud
such a scene of popular enthusiasm
as occurred on saturday at Covsnt
Garden will not be lightly forgottel
This is no exaggerated praise.
Nine. Tetrazzini is an italian, her
sister of the same name being the
wife of Cleofonte Campanini, director
at the Manhattan. She is apparent
ly a singer by divine right. since III
story goes that she has had but six
months training with teacher IN
her life. She has sung with SUCCESS
IN the capitals of Southern Europa
has ben a favorite in South America,
and made Juror In San Francisco.

M0ntgOmery's Fat job.

What is this we hear1 Senator
Samuel Montgomery "field inspec-
tor" in the tax commissioners office.
1t must be so. The records show
that the other day he presented
warrant to the auditors Office for
$50 indorsed as semi-monthly pay
for services as "feld inspector, "and
he certainly must be that thing, else
he would not have drawn the pay.
a few months back there was not
more enthusiastic Scherr boomer
than Senator Sam. For four years
he had been fighting Dawson, White,
and all their WORKS, both good and
bad. When Swisher announced his
candidacy he did not wait to be IN
yiled or solicrted-he rushed to
5cherr and demanded that he run
that the state might be saved.
One night Senator Sam saw
light and when dawn broke he was
enrolled among the Swisher forces.
Saul of Tarsus had no quicker con-
version than Sam of Tunnelton.
Never did Crazo, Of Bafnum aud
Bailey fame, loop the loop faster
than Senator Sam somersaulted
from one candidate to another.
And now we see the reason. That
light Senator Sam saw illuminated
an Official badge on which was en-
blazoned the legend, "Field Inspec.
tor" We don't know what a field
inspector IS, but we do know II is
worth 500 per month and change
Of political principles.
In passing, it might be remarked
that the tax commissioner office is
peculiarly vulnerable to the charge
OF being an asylum for political ref
ugees. Senator Sam is not the first
who has found haven there after un-
dergoing a renovation OF conscience.

tude OF the mountain whether the
success OF the Democratic ticket is
not more to the advantage of the
country and of Mr.. Hartman than
the success of the corrupt and ex-
travagant party he has hitherto ad-
heied to.
Thus good may come out of evil
and Hartman may be chosen the
instrument to thwart the powers Of
evil that for twelve long years have
oppressed the American people. The
pilgrimage OF Hartman to the
mountain may result in change of
policies for the nation. a word
from him would pull half the purse
strings Of Wall street so tight that
the demands OF Treasurer Sheldon
would be unheeded and the balance
of Wall street would not risk their
cash to save the sinking Republican
