be no nearer the solution of the mys-

the question of these borrowings.

B Washington, p. G., Dec. Sit was
learned tonight that President Roose-
welt had narrow escape from seri-
Gus injury while driving yesterday
afternoon. The prompt action of
Lieutenant J B. Linken of the local
fire department, who was driving a
heavy hosecart, and who threw his
horses to the ground to avoid dashing
into the chief executives carriage
alone prevented a bad accident.
The fire horses were travelling at
great speed when the driver, realiz-
ing that the hose wagon would dash
into the presidents carriage, but for
some desperate action, ierked the
lines back and threw them on their
launches. The horses, it is said al
most struck the carriage In front OF
them as they fell. The hose wagon
was slightly damaged.

Much of Mr.. Archbold's cross ex-
animation today had to do with re-.
bates paid by the railroad in the
early days. Mr.. Archbold took the.
position that the rebates at that time.
were matter of bargaining in which
each shipper strove to obtain the
best terms. VI l}.5
Some amazement was created when
Archbold declared that when one OBJ
ftained a rate from railroad man he
was not sure but that on his way
home the railroad man would give
some other shipper lower rate.

Al. Cassatt, then vice president of

that the Standard received larger re

LOS ANGELES VICTIM OF STRANGE
"MERRY WIDOW HAT" DISEASE

woman wears hers like a tiara, and,
praise be. it is up in the air, out of the
way of the crowd, but her short sister,
with all due courtesy to both hat and
wearer, carries hers at a level where
1t strikes the eyes or glasses of all per-
sons of average height, and she may
be said to resemble an ant bearing an
overbalanced crumb.
AT the counters where parasols and
umbrellas are displayed the clerks re-
port that the sales in their departments
have fallen off nearly two-thirds this
spring because members of the fair
sex are putting all their money into
hats big enough to serve as protection
against both sun and shower.
So Frank Lehar's merry opera must
be given the blame for the termination
OF this microbe, as the disease is said
to have originated in the brain of a
young man who had whistled the
Merry Widow" waltz for twenty-four
consecutive hours. The whistler and
his waltz came to an end-his friends
attended to that-but there Is no end
to the MERRY Widow" hat. No, stupid,
of course not. You know that there
is no end to a hat brim.
There are hats, of course, and then
again there are hats; but, too, there
are widows, and then there are other
widows. Some of these widows are
demure and others are stunning, and
the hat is always built to correspond
with the gray matter in the Uranium
of the wearer. Some of the hats are
creations" and cost from $50 to $45
and $50 trimmed. Others, while smart,
are less expensive, and range from $5
to SIS. A whole flock of blackbirds
adorns one black beauty that measures
twenty-one inches across, and a Sec
ond, with a brim radius which is
two inches less, is crowned with a
tower Of violets and roses that makes
one dizzy to contemplate.
The steward of one of the downtown
hotels is relating a story the circum-
stances Of which he claims happened
at his caravansary and which is good
enough to be true If it isn't. One of
Los Angeles most charming matrons,
so runs the tale, was to entertain in a
private dining room of the hotel some
weeks ago, and gowned in stunning
new spring suit which was crowned
with a Merry Widow sailor, the first,
she hoped. to see the light in this city,
she awaited her guests in the parlor.
The first guest who arrived wore,
perched high on her beautifully mar
celled pompadour, merry Widow"
and she was quickly followed by two
others who essayed to enter together,
but were obliged to abandon the at

make room for the brims of their

The Musical w orld
Sims Reeves-Edward Lloyd-charles
SantIev
BY Genevra Johns tome Bishop.

Sims Reeves-EdWard Lloyd-Charies
Santley
TN England the name of Sims Reeves
was for many years sufficient to
II draw an audience large enough to
though he frequently disappointed the
public by non-appearance. 1t was
known that he considered it wiser to
disappoint the public than to risk los
ing his voice, and as a result people
soon realized that to hear him once
was sufficient to atone for several dis
appointments To the general public
Sims Reeves endeared himself chiefly
by his exquisite ballad singing, Come
Into the Garden, Maud" sally in Our
Alley" and so many other English
songs are associated with his name,
just as Home, Sweet Home is with
PATHS (and l think 1 never heard
anybody in the world sing it as poorly
of phrase it badly, as did Madame
Patti the last time heard her sing it).
The mantle of Braham Ca great Eng
lish tenor who died in 1879 descended
to Sims Reeves at his death. Reeves
was the son of a musician and was
born at Shooters Hill, Kent, in 1922
He obtained his early musical educa-
tlOn from MS IdlneI, ana at IA Helu the
position of organist at North Gray
church Upon gaining his mature
voice he determined to be a singer and
at first sang baritone, making his de-
but in opera at Newcastle-on-Tyn as
Count Rudolph in La Sonnambula.
Before long his voice developed into a
pure tenor of exceptionally beautiful
quality, and in 1S47 when he appeared
at Drury Lane he at once took a posi-
ton as a tenor of the first rank. His
acting was natural and easy, manly
and to the purpose, but his greatest
triumph, however, was achieved in
oratorio, and his performance of "The
Enemy Said in Israel in Egypt" at
the Crystal Palace in 1857 was of such
nature, says an English writer, as
to electrify his hearers. Up to the age
of 20 Sims Reeves appeared in con-
certs His powers have long since
passed away but if living today he
could pack any house in London, even
though not a note remained of that
glorious voice The English people
are the truest people in the world to
their own beloved artists Before
leaving tenors a word should be said
concerning the greatest living oratorio
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-22

tenor living today, Edward Lloyd
who, in England, seems to have in
herited the mantle of Sims Reeves.
Mr.. Lloyd has not sung for four years
in public. He was born in 1S45 and
was educated as a chorister in the
choir of Westminster abbey. He was
a pupil of that famous oratorio teach
er of London, Frederick Walker, and
for years the greatest artist England
could present. During the worlds fair
at Chicago Mr.. Lloyd was the tenor
of all the oratorio work and made one
trip since to America. He devoted
himself entirely to oratorio and con-
cert singing and possesses a voice of
the purest quality, with a style noted
for its excellence and finish. His
phrasing of oratorio is absolutely fault
less. His singing of Comfort Ye" and
Every Valley" has never been heard
by other than Mr.. Lloyd with such
perfect reading, enunciation and die
ton. Personally Mr.. Lloyd was a
gentleman-kind, considerate of young
artists, and anxious to guide them in
the right path. Through his influence
the writer became a pupil of his teach
er, Mr.. Walker, in London, and had
the honor to be the soprano in the
quartet of oratorio that toured America
In connection with the great world S
fair meeting at Chicago, and the
Thomas orchestra's wonderful tour,
Theodore Thomas being the conductor.
The greatest baritone of the Vic
torian era in England is Charley SAINT
ley. He was born in Liverpool in 1884.
His voice was one of fine, rich quail
ity, extensive compass and great pow
er He was pupil of Manuel Garcia
in London and spent a few years dur

pearance in England in opera was in
1859 as Hoel in "Dinorah" at Covent
Garden. He was not a success his
ironically, but vocally was considered
an artist. He first appeared in ora
torio in England in 1858, singing Adam
In "Creation" Mr.. Santley married
in 1859 Miss Gertrude Kemble, the
granddaughter of the celebrated actor.
They had one daughter, Miss Edith
Santley, who had a short but exceed
ingly brilliant career as concert
singer previous to her marriage in 1884
to the Hon. r. H. Lyttleton. Charles
Santley first visited America in 1871 as
a member of the Carl Rosa opera COM
pany. In 1889 he made a concert tour
in Australia and returned to the United
States during the worlds fair to sing
oratorio only.
Joseph Bennett, the eminent critic.
wrote of him in 1892:
1.-THE foremost baritone of the day is
still with us, and though his physical
means have suffered changes which no
skill can avoid, he Is a greater artist
than ever and retains plenty of vitality
for his work"
was not impressed with his voice
at all, but he was then an old man.
ersonally he was cross, nervous,
always slept during the day sitting up
in chair, told me never to lie down,
it would make my voice husky. He was
not the polished gentleman that Ed
