HONOLULU SONG PLEASED
AMERICAN AMBASSADOR

The following account Of the success
OF Miss Adele Case, an Oregon singer,
Is of interest TO Honolnlans, for Miss
Case visited here for several weeks
and gave a concert. She made hit
before the American Ambassador at
Berlin with her Hawaiian songs. The
Paris dispatch says:
PARIS, October I0.-There was
great competition among English and
American concert singers for the place
of vocal soloist on the program of
Harold Bauer, the pianist, who begins
his tour in the British Isles next Jan
uary. Trials were given at both
Queens Hall, London, and the Sale
Gaveau, IN Paris.
The soloist finally selected was Miss
Mary Adele Case, a young American
girl from Portland, Ore, who has only
been Studying two years in Paris
Miss Case is % years old, a tall, slim,
black haired girl with a rich contralto
of unusual range.
She has really made her own way,

gain money while studying. Then it
all happened as a fairy tale. AT a re-
ceptiOn given by Ambassador White
she sang to her own accompaniment
on a native instrument some Hawaiian
songs which she had known in Homo
lulu. where she spent her youth.
Baron d. Granger, who is a fnan-
cier and musician, was present and he
told Harold T. Bauer, who consented
to hear her sing, and her triumph was
Immediate.
The Portland Oregonian refers to
her life as follows:
Mary Adele Case sepnt most of her
life IN Oregon city until five years
ago. when she went TO New York to
study and spent two years there. She
then returned to Portland and was
heard in musical circles on many oc-
casions.
Less than two years ago she went
to Palo Alto, Cal. A wealthy woman
of that city had a daughter with con-
siderable musical ability and ambition,
who unfortunately was blind. She
desired to study abroad, but because
of her physical infrmities, her mother
declined to permit the daughter to go.
The mother, however, met Miss Case
and. after learning of her desire to
study abroad. readily consented to
her daughters trip. provided Miss
Case would accompany the daughter.

Sissy" of Chicago.

Copyright 1908. by T. c. McClure.l
 Sissy" Floss was at Chicago His father had left him $1.0OO,OOO, and he had been through college and travelled. He was called Sissy because he was short and slight and effeminate.
 The young man had accompanied friend to New York to see him off for Europe. The steamer sailed in the afternoon, and soon after her depar- ture Sissy" fell in with couple of college chums. A dinner and a trip to Chinatown were planned and came off. The effeminate was only five feet tall. and his weight was only no pounds, and his voice was like that of a girl, but when he cut loose to have good time he was all there The trio were stunning the slums in the most ap- proved fashion when row took place, and Sissy" was separated from his companions He had imbibed too much to know whether he was in Baltimore or Boston or to make much of a da. fense, and at the end of five minutes he was very much in the hands of she Philistines. The gang fioored him ana went through him up to his collar but ton. They dragged him into a cellar, stripped off his clothes and gave him an old Bowery suit in exchange and left him to come to or pass in his checks. He was in an undecided state when the keeper of Cherry street boarding house came along and took in the situation. He also took Sissy" in. He wanted one more hand to make up crew for bark sailing for Bris- tol next day. and it made very little difference whether he got live or dead man.
 When Sissy" Floss awoke next morning he was lying in bunk fin the deck house of the White Wings, which craft was at anchor of Liberty island and making ready to begin her voyage He didn't awake until he was being pulled out of his bunk by the second mate. who was also damning his eyes. his ears, his nose and other portions of his anatomy in the language of the deep blue sea. After being landed on the floor with a bump the young man was kicked out on deck and then up and down the decks. This was to arouse his enthusiasm for life on the ocean wave. Sissy" realized almost at once that he was being booted, but 1t took him some time to figure out why he wasn't in his room at the Wal dorf. While he was puzzlng over it he was booted some more. and the bark got under way. She was off Fire is- land before the victim got it through his head that he had been shanghaed and was being carried to sea- A pro- test was in order, and Sissy" went aft to the captain to make it.
 What are you doing here?" roared that officer
 'I want to state my case"
 Case? You miserable little skulker, what have you got to say for yourself? Out with itv'
 The story was told. The captain lis- tened to 1t. with grin and a sheer on

his face. and then exclaimed:


 You are a blankety blank liar, you signed articles of your own free will You are a pickpocket or green goods man that wants to get away from tho police for awhile. Turn to and don,t let me hear another word. If you keen this thing up there won't be as much as an eyebrow left of you by the time we reach the other side"
 Sissy" started to protest and was kicked of the poop. In going forward he was cuffed by the chief mate and kicked by the second, and, although more fit for the hospital than the decks of a ship. he was turned to and set to work. From that time on his days were anything but joyous. He was a protesting sailor. In the eyes of captain and mates he could not be worse villain. He was made ship's, boy. Nothing was too dirty to set him at. The cook stood in with the after guard and gave him many kick and cuff. and the nearer the bark got tol England's shores the worse the mates hazed him.
 After the first interview with the captain Sissy" made no more pro. tests. He began to rise to the ocea sion. He recorded the kicks and cuffs in diary The last entry was made when three days from port. He neg. lected to add "sir" when ans wering the second mate and was knocked down and given pair of black eyes Then as soon as the bark had made fast to a wharf he was kicked ashore and told not to return under penalty Of death. A,
 Two hours after the last kick the young man had satisfied the American consul of his identity. A cablegram to Chicago brought him several thousand dollars within the next twentyfour hours. Two days later, when he had properly clothed himself, he brought about another emergency. This time it was for the captain. mates and cook of the bark to rise to 1t.

pz1TsBURG sEsaUIcENTENNI.L.

Pittsburg Is making great prepara-
tions for the celebration of the sesqui-
centennial of the founding of the city.
AS early as 1870 the French had noticed
the advantages of Pittsburg as a trad
ing place with the Indians and as a
stage on the new route from Quebec to
New Orleans. Twenty-three years later
Washington visited the place to warn
the French away, as the country was
claimed by the Virginians. In 1884
Capt. Trent, commanding Virginia mill
tia, started to build a fort, but the
French and Canadians drove him away
and built the Fort themselves, which
they named Du Quesne. In 1855 Gen.
Braddock started with force to take
the fort. but was killed and his army
nearly destroyed. In 1853 Gen. Forbes
started from Philadelphia with an army
of $500 to take the place, but his ad-
vance under Gen. James Grant was de-
feated under the guns of the fort and
routed. Forbes continued to advance
and when within Is miles of Fort Du
Quesne the French saw that resistance
was useless, burned their buildings and
fled. Nov. "a, 1853, Gen. Forbes occu-
pied the place in force, and named It
Pittsburg, in honor of Englands great
Prime Minister William Pitt. Its posi-
ton was not yet secure, for the Indians
made several savage assaults upon 1t,
but were beaten off by Col Henry Bou-
quet, who in 1864 erected brick block
house, which still remains. 1t is the
only colonial structure in Pittsburg, and
is owned and preserved by the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution. The
British evacuated Fort Pitt in 1772, and
two years later 1t was occupied by the
Virginia militia. There was contest
between Virginia and Pennsylvania for
the sovereignty, which was ended in
1881, when it passed into the possession
of Pennsylvania.
The first settlers were almost wholly
Scotch, Scotch-Irish and Irish. The real
growth of the city did not begin until
Wayne's victory on the Maumee had
broken the power of the confederated
Indians.
The celebration will take place next
November, and Pittsburg rejoices in
having citizen who is directly descend
ed from William Pitt. the first Earl of
Chatham. He is Edward D. Pitt, who
went to Pittsburg about 1870, and has
four children who are prominent in
Pittsburg business and society. The
plans for the celebration are compre-
hensive. and will involve a large ex-
penditure. Among other things are an
elaborate series of floats for the street
parade to represent all the striking
periods in Pittsburg's $50 years of his
tory. One Of these will be Washington
crossing the Allegheny River. another
the French and Indian War. and, third,
the Pontiac War. and so on.

CONSISTENT PATRIOTS.

The comrades residing in California
are patriots to the core, and they show
this in many more ways than the men,
DRY of having fought for their country
The graft prosecution in San Francisco
is tagging on account of necessary funds
to continue the proceedings. The COM
RACES OF Jacksonville, Cal, understood
this, and. getting together, contributed
out of their slender funds $64, which
they sent to the committee to aid the
work. The committee which raised the
funds was Abram hardness, Asa But
man and A. N. Judd. In sending on
their contributions they said:
'"rhe graft conditions are fruits OF
seed that was planted in '61t65, and
clearly thus foretold by our martyred
President, Abraham Lincoln, In one OF
his last speeches.:
LAS a result of the war, great in
corporations have been enthroned, and
an era of corruption in high places will
follow. The moneyed power of the
country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working on the prejudices OF
the people until all wealth is aggregated
in few hands and the Republic is de-
stroyed. / feel at this moment more
anxiety for the safety of our Republic
than ever before, even in the midst OF
the war. God grant that my suspicious
