DIED SINGING "ABIDE WITH ME-"
Congregation Did Not Learn of Death
Until After the Sermon.

While singing the last verse of the
hymn abide With Me-" just before
the final prayer preliminary to the
preaching service at the First Christ
ian church in Louisville, a young
woman, whose identity was not then
known, died of heart disease.
1t was thought that the young wo-
man had only tainted, and she was
carried into one of the vestry rooms
of the church and the service was
continued. The announcement of
her death was made at the close of
the sermon.
Dr. William Bailey and other ply
sicians who were in the cOngrega-
ton attended the young woman after
she had been carried to the vestry
room, but found that she was al
ready dead. Several attempts were
made to revive her by means of arti-
fetal respiration.
The young woman had the appear
ance of one in moderate circum-
stances. Aside from the initial ''W'
on her purse and handkerchief and
the business card of P. Rosenberg, a
tailor, there was nothing to give any
clew as to whom she might be-

Mexico to Have the Finest In
the World.
GREAT NATIONAL INSTITUTION

Government Is Furnishing 100000
to Build Magnificent Structure at
the Capital-Grand Ballroom In the
Buildinq-To Be Strictly Fireproof.
Mexico is to have the finest opera
house in the world. 1t will cost $6,0O0,-
900 and will be magnificent architec-
turally, as to its furnishings and in ev-
cry other way"
This was the statement recently made
by Will ]. Davis, manager of the ILL
nois theater, who had just returned
from tour of the land of DiaZ, says
the Chicago Post He was the guest
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient rail-
way, and of General Manager Dickin-
son Of the same line. Nearly three
weeks were occupied in inspecting the
new railway and visiting the most
important cities and towns on the
route, including a stop of several days
in Mexico City.
"The opera house, which is well UNI
der way" continued Mr.. Davis, is a
national affair, the Mexican govern
mept furnishing the money for the
purpose. 1t will stand in the center OF
a square, facing one of the most beau
tiful plazas in the city. The building
will be 22O feet wide and $50 feet
deep.
"The architect is Adamo Boari. He is
an Italian and was for some time asso-
ciated with Burnham & Root of Chi
cago when that firm was planning and
| experimenting the erection of the
| Worlds fair buildings in Chicago.
Mr.. Boari showed me all of his plans
and models and then escorted me
/ through such parts of the structure as
it was possible to inspect.
"In his working ROOMS be has two
complete models Of the building and
! grounds made in plaster of paris, and
he also has a plaster of paris model Of
one,half of the opera house, with little
plaster figures Of men and women
occupying every seat, giving an idea as
to sight lines and appearance of the
auditorium when filed.
Another model, made of hard wood,
represents the other side of the build
ing, auditorium and stage, also looking
toward the proscenium, which is Of
magnificent design and capable of the
highest order of ornamentation. Models
of the decorations, both in design and
color, were shown to me, and they are
! very beautiful.
''NIr. Boari told me that, while he
was deferring in many respects to the
wishes OF the people in Mexico City,
who are mostly in favor of European
models in architectural art, he was in
clined himself to subscribe to the mod
ern style in theatrical building as Illus
trated in leading American theaters.
when l tell you that. notwithstand-
ing the great size of the house, he has
planned for something like 1000 seats
only, you will understand that he is
largely complying with modern ideas

TO BE SUPERB OPERA HOUSE

which are designed to bring an audi
ence as close to the stage as possible.
although the stage will be one OF
the largest in the world the prosceni-
UNI opening will be only forty-two feet
suplare. Thus it will be possible to
stage light operas and even comedy as
we'll as the most pretentious produc-
tons.
"The auditorium proper consists of
parquet floor which is truly American
in its proportions. The circles are
patterned more after the European
style and consist first of mezzanine
floor, which is composed of boxes alto
gether, the presidents being directly
in the center and much larger than the
others. There will be a capaciOus re-
ception room directly off the presi-
dents box for his exclusive use. Other
retiring rooms are back of the boxes
all around the mezzanine floor. A bal
cony and gallery complete the seating
accommodations of the house.
THE spacious front interior of the
structure will consist first of a grand
state ballroom and then a series of
promenades, one for each floor of the
auditorium, all stretching around a
square court which extends from the
ground to the roof. In the center Of
this court will be a fountain around
which at all times of the year will be
a profusion Of tropical flowers and
plants
The front exterior of the building
and. in fact, both sides of it are high
Iy ornamental architecturally. a mag
niacent flight of steps s2micircular in
form lead up to the front and straight
away flights on either side. Two sets
of capacious elevators will convey pa
irons to am desired Coor. Cafes and
Restaurants are provi .eI for; also read
ing. smoking and reiiing rooms.
The opera house is being construct
ei entirely Of steel. stone and cement
ard will be strictly freproof The
very latest electric lighting appliances
will lie installed, and modern conven-
fences generally will be used through
out the building.
The immense width Of the stage
! will give every facility for ample dress
ing rooms as we'll as scene packs and
, carpenter and property rooms. The
height over all on the stage will be
100 feet and something over 100 feet
clear to the rigging loft. Underneath
the stage there will be ample room for
the working of most gigantic spectacu-
! lar and mechanical effects.
"Mr. Boari informed me that it was
not thought possible to have the build
ing ready for opening before Septem-
Der, 1910. 1t is understood that the
Mexican government will subsidize the
| opera house in such liberal manner as
will provide for the very best character
| Of grand opera entertainment"

TO LIVE WITH ESOUIMAUX
Daring Young Man VIII Go Where
No White Man Has Ever Been Seen.


Wilhjalmr Stefansson, young
student of arctic life, has started for
his second trip of exploration among
the Esouimaux of ithe frozen north.
He expects to be gone at least two
wears. He will take with him no
equipment but gun and fish net;
no clothes but those he stands in;
no supplies but strong body and
cheerful heart" and no more mon
ey than will just carry him to the
borders of civilization.
Thus lightly equipped Stefanssen
plans to penetrate 1850 miles
through a frozen and trackless waste,
working his way along the great riv-
ers that flow into the arctic ocean.
When he has reached the coast he
will go eastward along the coast line,
travelling over the ice in a dog sled
until he reaches the settlements on
Coronation bay.
There Stefansson will pass the
winter among men who have never
seen a white man and of whose life
and habits the civilized world has
not the slightest knowledge. He will
work as they work, live as they live,
catch the fish he eats and trap the
skins he wears as one of themselves.
If the winter brings famine, as 1t
frequently does, he will starVe and
freeze as they do if he cannot fight
his way back to the world with the
he has gained.
BY birth and education Stefansson
is an American, though his name
does not sound like it nor does he
seem particularly American. He is
a. big, blonde, well dressed young
man. with his Morse ancestry plainly
visible through his Harvard exterior.
He is about 20 years old, though he
appears much younger. He is ath-
etic and tanned, and looks every
inch a son of his fathers, who were
He speaks the Esqui-
mau language like native.
Strangely enough exactly the same
language is spoken by all of the
Esouimau tribes from the east coast
Of Iceland to the west coast of Sibe-
ria, and north as far as humanity is
found. So Mr.. Stefansson goes as
a man to his own people.
