It Was in "Lusia di Lammermoor that Ellen Beach YaW made herself known to d Metropolitan Opera House audience and it was her voice and her vocal gymnastics that redeemed this suited and futile old opera.
 At the close of the mad scene" at the end O. the third act. a demonstra- tion of approval rocked and shook the opera house. It was the sort of thing that w.ll be Koh-i-noor among the memories Of Madame Yaw for many years. Time after time she was forced to return to the little cabinet formed by drawing apart the large curtains. and time after time the highly delight ed audience hailed her was mighty ap- plause.
 She bowed naturally and gracefully.

C of Ellen Beach Yaw. who made her New York grand opera debut in Donizetti's Lucia" at the Metropolitan last night and with no small success
 IL was not as a phenomenon that Miss Yaw achieved very legitimate success. but as floritura singer Of no ittleecualit.. Miss Yaw has a pleasant stage appearance.
 Aside from the phenomenal part of the voice. Miss Yaw has a high. fIex- ible soprano. clear, sweet and even in the upper register. Her phrasing is intelligent. and her general style shows both cultivation and artistic sincerity
 had heard so much of this singer as sort of sky-rocket vocalist that her really restrained and artistic work came as a pleasurable surprise.
 She sang "Quandp Rapito' in ex- cellent style. and finished it with an extraordinary note-a real note-not a squeak. not merely touched. but held -a C in altissimO. a major third above the Tetrazzini note
 Tetrazzinfs voice may be likened to Q flute; this remarkable organ of Miss YaW's can he said to resemble the piccolo. the highest instrument in the orchestra.
 h the mad scene" there were more marvellous. vocal fireworks. rising in vocal heights where my knowledge of absolute pitch refused to carry me It was certainly most uncommon exhi- bition of vocal gynastics and 1t must be confessed that the applause of the audience was iuStifiabIe
 Miss Yaw used the flute cadenza. and was obliged to reptat it. She took the highE-fiat twice. and was re- called several times, being greeted with great enthusiasm.
 These wonderful tones Miss Yaw certainly possesses to make an audi ence gape' with open-mOuthed aston ishment as they did last night
 Miss Yaw can be cerdited with d very distinct success.-Reginald De Koven. in the New York World, March % 1908

The appearance of Ellen Beach Yaw for the first time at the Metropolitan Opera House was yesterdays operat- ic feature in New York. Miss Yaw's colorature is more perfect than let razzini's. Her scales are lighter and more fluent; her staccdto are more delicate: her trills are much more flex- ible. precise and speedy. She perform ed the difficult cadenZa in the mad scene" with all the floritura heard so often from TstraZZini. and the final hiShE-flat with exceeding ease and ac- curacy and much charm Technically Il was a more finished achievement than the other sopranos. Tn the mad scene" her historinic performance had q certain effectiveness for her tall. high waisted figure. spectre-lille. and her delicate features lent q peculiar Fascination tn her embodiment of the wild-eyed heroine of Scctt's novel as ltalianiZed-New York Press.

The Substantial Expression of Regret at the Departure of E. E. Leonard.

Phoenix is about to lose one of it's worthiest citizens within the next day or two in the person of F.. F. Leonard for the last five years master mechanic of the NJ. &, P shops. His associates and fellow employees last nighr ex- pressed their sentiments toward him in the presentation of a handsome gold watch.
 c. A. Gushing made the presentation and in handing over the gift he ex- pressed in feeling terms the pleasure it gave him to be the mouth piece of his fehow workers, stating that every man had gladly contributed to the presentation fund not as a matter of custom as is sometimes the case, but with a will, prompted by the respect of man to master.
 In conclusion Mir. Gushing remarked that general regret was felt at MT. Leonard's departure from Phoenix and on behalf of the shopmen, trainmen and in general all employees of the company he wished him "Godspeed" in his new sphere of duties. Mir. Gush- ing then presented him with a solid gold 23 jeweled Van Guard watch and fob.
 MT. Leonard in returning his sincere thanks for the unexpected and valu- able gift said he had endeavored to do his duty to his men and employers at all times and was deeply impressed by the kind words spoken in his favor by MT Gushing, observing that in his new occupation if he found men of similar calibre to those in Phoenix he was sure of giving his corporation the satisfaction it deserved.
 MT Leonard leaves in the course of a few days to accept d position with the D. & R. G. at Denver and the best wishes of his friends and employees will accompany him to his new home.

 Georgia, who was elected two years ago on issues antagonistic to capital, ran for reelection, he was defeated by Joe Brown by an overwhelming nla- jority, and that, too. in spite of the Georgia custom to give the Governor a second term. The result Of the pri- mary was as wholesome as 1t was pro- nounced.

rr rs uvnn THUS.

-This is the time" ruminates The New Bsdord Standard. "whsn eminent and lifelong Democrats announce their intention to support the Republican nominee for the presidency. and when eminent and lifelong Republicans- though in fewer numbers--announcs their intention to support the Demo- cratic nominee. This performance Is gone through regularly every four years. immediately succeeding the holding of the national conventions. and with owlish solsmnity. as if the upheavai were tremendous. As a mat ter of political history. however. there is no great importance in these mani festations. We have them every year, on a smaller scale. in connection with municipal campaigns. and rarely with any pronounced effect. Whatever light drift from the surface may be made by the political gales. for the most part. as Mir. Dooiey says. man is either a Republican or Democrat. unless he's an independent, and then he's Republican"
 Our observation has been that it is never safe for the managers of a na- tionai campaign. on either side. to place much dependence on the expecta- tion of accessions from the other side. As The Standard says, there is pretty sure to be more or less dissatisfaction following the action Of a national convention. There will be plenty Of men who will VOW and declare that they will not support the ticket. but If they are reasonably good party men they are pretty apt to get over their dissatisfaction and march up to the polls like good children and put in a ballot for the party nominees.
 There are always independents in every campaign whose vote cannot be depended on by either side. Their vote is always an uncertain quantity, and one which each party tries to control. They are the real uncertain quantity in the political equation. Tn the present instance there is dissatis- faction as usual. Many Republicans VOW they will not support Taft and many Democrats gre equally deter mined not to vote for Bryan. but if the leaders on either side think they can win by recruits from the other they are not wise The safe plan is for each side to try to hold it's own votes and get some from the. other if 1t can.
