ROMANCE OF GREAT SINGER.
From the Railway Platform to the
Opera House.

M. Jean Note, the famous barytone
OF the Paris opera house. and who has
sung more often on the stage OF the
Paris opera than any other living
singer. left Paris the other day to be
present at the fetes which were held
recently, in his native town of Tour
nay, In Belgium, In honor OF the great
artists jubilee.
NJ. Jean Notes career has been a
singularly romantic one. He was born
at Tourney, and began life there as
a weaver In a cloth factory. He was
noted for his fine voice among his fell
low workmen. He left the factory TO
become a railway porter at the Tour
nay station, and soon became a signal
man.
At the age Of 81 he became a con-
script in the Belgian army. and It was
while undergoing his military service
that HIS officers took an interest in
him. and subscribed a purse to send
him to the Conservatoire OF Music at
Client.
Here he worked hard, and succeed
ed In obtaining the first prize for
singing. He made his debut in 'Lucie
de Lammermoor." at the Lille thea
ter in 1855. He was then engaged for
two years at the Antwerp theater. and
for three years at Lyons. after which
he went straight to the Paris opera.
which be has never left since.
While an opera singer in Paris NJ.
Note greatly distinguished himself by
an act OF daring and cool-headedness
which saved an express train from
total wreck. On September 81. 1897.
NJ Note was standing on the platform
of the Paris suburban station OF
Colonies. when II was seen TO the
horror OF the numerous passengers
waiting In the station that a train OF
is vans loaded with dynamite had
shunted out on the main line on which
the Cherbourg Express was due at
that moment.
The stationmaster and porters lost
their heads. Note, recollecting that
he had been a signalman. lost not a
moment. He ran to the levers. pulled
them back. and sent the dynamite
wagons on to siding just as the ex-
press came hustling past For this.
NJ. Note received high distinction
from the French government.-Lon-

eottIIna Factory Discussed.

The Young Mems Civic union held
their regular meeting last week Wednes-
day evening. In addition to their reg
ular business, by invitation, J. b. Adams
for the affirmative and A. A. Gilman for
the negative, discussed the question,
"Resolved, That the bottling factory will
be more beneficial to the farmers than
the creamery
Mr.. Adams compared prices offered by
the factory with prices 40 the creamery,
cost of carrying, ETC., and made it appear
that the proposed factory would be bene-
fetal He also showed that where con-
densed milk factories are put in, they
crowd creameries out.
Mr.. Gilman also compared the two
systems, showed the expense of trans
porting milk and the value of the
SKINNED milk and showed that the
creamery was preferable.
The board of decision was Walter
Barnum, George d. Hyzer and Everett
Edison and they decided on the argu-
ments in favor OF the affirmative, but on
the merits Of the question it would
probably have been decided in the mega
tive, judging from the after talk. The
discussion was valuable and instructive
and the meeting q success.
1t is fair to state that Mr.. Gilman
manufactures and markets his own butter
product and is not very enthusiastic for
either bottling factory or creamery. He
knows the way that pays him the best
and knows pretty well the value of the
SKINNED milk by actual test, and he
places its value higher than many do.

board our ships, the, Navy Department
year after year has approved of plans
by which the greatest guns on the
ships are directly above an open shaft
leading to the powder magazine.
That other nations long since recog-
nized the criminal stupidity of thus en-
dangering the lives Of officers and men
and have remedied the defect by use
of common sense and ordinary precau-
tionary measures.
That, without regard to the protests
Of experts, our battle ships have been
built 20 low that If the sea is heavy
and ships are in action, the sea would
wash over the vessels, render some of
their most effective guns useless and
practically leave the ship to the mercy
Of the enemy.
The officers In the American navy
who command the battle ships and
squadrons are too old; that under ex-
listing conditions young men cannot at
tain command. and that the service is
badly crippled as result.
That there Is too much bureau man
agement" in Washington; tSo much
red tape in the Navy Department; I;
that American genius is stified because
OF the bureaus immersion in details,
and that with the Secretary of the
Navy a civilian, he should have a
board of expert advisers.
Other matters are dwelt on, but the
foregoing are by far the most impor-
tant. An afternoons fight or water
sealed Russla's fate in the recent war
with Japan, says Mr.. ReuterdahI, and
the same may well be true of the next
war into which this nation is plunged.
The issue is so important and the stake
30 tremendous that the sea power
which is prepared in every respect to
meet the crisis will be the victor.
