BARTON SHOT BY
 BIRMINGHAM MAN
PORTLAND MERCHANT WILL PROBABLY DIE AS RESULT OF SHOOTING IN GREENE LATE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

Selma, June 2s.-(Special.)-A special to the Selma Times tonight from Demopolis says:
 Late this afternoon between and o'clock Doc Barton was shot and mortal ly wounded by his brother-in-liaw, W. A. Collins. of Birmingham at the home of Barton in Forkland in Greene county 12 miles from Demopolis. Details are meager but it is stated that a bitter feud had existed between the two young men for several years of family nature. It is said Barton, who is prominent merchant and citizen of Forkland had threatened to kill Collins on sight, and was sitting on the front veranda of his home with his shotgun when Collnls came along with his gun. Without a word on the part of either and before Barton could raise his gun Collins had filled his body with heavy load of buckshot.
 It is not known whether Collins has been arrested. He was visiting in Fork land from Birmingham at the time Bar ton will probably not live through the night.
 J. D. Collins of Birmingham, relative of MT. Collins, received a message last night that a shooting had occurred, but no particulars were given.

He Put the Brake On.

In his autobiography the late Pro
fessor Shaler of Harvard tells this
story: Once he was present at a dinner
in England where Tyndall. the re-
nowned scientist, started to tell about
experiences in America. His descrip-
tions were, TO say the least, exagger-
ated. Just as be was telling about a
thrilling escape from drowning which
he had had while viewing Niagara
falls-describlng it with bursts of by

tced before.
For a moment Tyndall stopped,
abashed-then. with wink of the eye.
as If begging Shaler not to give him
away" he continued the tale, but in a
noticeably subdued vein.
At its conclusion Tyndau sought
Shaler.

highly colored," he confessed to the
American. but it is sometimes neces-
sary to touch up the truth Bit"

The opera company in Chicago will
be absolutely independent of all other
organizations, but will be affiliated
with the Metropolitan Opera company
of New York. 1t will have its own
conductors, artists, orchestra, chorus,
ballet, scenery, costumes. etc. - in
short, it's own complete independent
artistic and business administration
and will give season of twenty weeks
of opera, beginning i'll the fall of 1910,
Many of the old favorites are here
again for the grand opera season OF
1900-10 and also a number of new
ones of whom much is expected.
Among those who will be heard this
year are Fremstad, Gerville-Reache,C Ca
russo, Gadski, Farrar, Grippon, Scotti,
Garden. Zenatello. Tetra2zini and ID Al
varez. The new tenor. FREDERICK de
Carasa, is a Spaniard and the brother
of the mayor of San Sebastian. John
Mccormack, the new Irish tenor, is
only twenty-five and looks even young
er, with a frank. boyish expression
and a manner of speaking which re-
news the traditions, so often forgot
ten, of the Irish blarney. He hopes
naturally to succeed in opera in Amer
ica, and if he does he wants to thank
Nine. Tetrazzini, whom he considers
his fairy godmother. He has sung
much abroad with her.
Among the singers who were heard
in Oscar Hammerstcins educational
grand opera, which recently closed n
New York, was D'Alvarez, who he
came so popular that she has been en-
gagged for the present season. She has
a wonderful soprano voice.

all of the Harvard defense was de-

by the excitement.
The coming of all the other noted
song birds down to within. say, a cou-
pie of decades ago was attended by
similar manifestations, and it cannot be
that their appearances helped much to-
ward the creation of a higher taste.
1t was not until grand opera began
to take on some suggestion of perma-
nency that a clientele worth while be
gan to come to the front The Metro
politan Opera House, in New York
was the first institution of the kind.
Its scale was lavish. 1t represented
the toy of a number OF fabulously
wealthy New Workers. For their pleas
ure Mapleson, Abbey, Schoeffel, Grau
and Conried ransacked the musical
capitals of Europe and captured the
greatest song birds in the world. 1t
had formerly been the experience of
Americans in hearing opera TO have
one great singer and the remainder of
the cast made up OF the saddest apollo
gies
But the Metropolitan Opera House
altered that Every role had to be in
the hands of the most noted song bird
in his or her especial line.
For the first time came the phenom-
email lineups, which at one period in
