SCHOOL FOR TENORS
TO GUILLOTINE SALARIES

PARIS, Jan A-Ths salaries Of first
class tenorS may go down considerably
IN a few years II the new directors OF
the Paris Opera. Messenger and Brous-
san. are right in their ideas.
NJ BrousSan expressed himself az OF
the belief that there are plenty of tenors
to be had, but that they are not able TO
get the training which enables them 10
I'LL the everincreasing artistic demands
OF the public. For this reason the two
directors are now organizing a school
for tenors which they hope will turn
out graduates enough to supply tho de-
mands.
One thing which will gladden. the
heart OF many operagoers Is that the
pupils of the school viii be taught not
only to sing, but also to behave in q
natural manner when on the stage.
Speaking of this, NJ. Broussan said:
THE operatic singer nowadays must
not only sing but act, and to act he
must be a cultured man. My partner
and I intend to educate such promising
material as We may find, and to produce
plenty Of first-class tenors."

GROWN PRINCES CAPERS
AROUSE PARLIAMENT

BELGRADE, Jan. 4.-That excitabie
young man, the Servian crown prince,
has been giving way to such violent &c
centricities that they have been made
the subject Of an Interpolation in the
legislature. The socialist deputy lap
sheyltch has asked the government " lat
was going TO be done about the royal
scapegrace's outrageous conduct.
The following incidents were quoted
as specimens OF the princes behavior:
Some time ago the prince visited a
carpenters snop IN order TO make In
quIries about his motor boat, which
was undergoing repair The master OF
the shop was absent, and as the prince
was not satisfied with what the assist
ants coId him sSoUt the work he at
tackled them with a bludgeon.
On another occasion the prince beat
two footmen with a hammer, injuring
one OF them very seriously, NJ. lap
shevitch demanded that. as the prince
was privileged and could not be pune
ished as an ordinary criminal, the two
carpenters he had beaten should be com
pensated by the government for their
injuries at the hand Of the prince.
