This logic and political necessi-

friends and supporters of the

there is no longer any thought of
requesting or accepting presiden-
tial interference or pardon.
1t Is also interesting to note in
European labor organs that Sam
uel Gompers is likely to be lion

the Denver A. F. of L. convention
it was voted to send Gompers
abroad to study political and
economic conditions, and 1t ap-
pears from the European press
that Judge Wright's Jail sentence
has added great prestige to Com
pers' fame in foreign lands, and
that he is due for strenuous sea-
son of banquets and speech-mak-

cessful press agent.

DEFEATED

The Hoquiam basketball team
went down to its third successive
defeat in Tacoma yesterday after
noon at the hands of the high
school quintet. The final score
was 81 to 20, and at no stagetof

barest chance of victory.
Staatz, Tacoma's fast player,
was the star of the game, pulling
down II baskets during the two
halves, and netting a total of 80
points for the home team.

Every base ball club has a gold

that bind its runners to the bases.

for all time. How sadly base run

Johnny Ward was high man in
1892 with "a, and led again in
1898 with 70, but Hamilton was
once more the star stealer in 1894
with 80, and again led in 1895,

Then came Billy LANCE, one OF
the grandest ball players in the
history of the game. He stole
loo bases in 1896, and SO in 1897.
Beginning in 1898, base stealing
began to decline, until now the

ago-is rare enough to call for
special mention when successfully

Ed Walsh, the Chicago club

CHAPTER v.

Mrs Saville was far too much pre-.
occupied by her bitter reflections and
vengeful projects to bestow many
thoughts upon the new member of her
household. But Miss Desmond re.
ceived the expected summons in due
course, and journeyed punctually by
the appointed train towards her new
home.
Inglefield, Mrs. Saville's place, had
an air of seclusion not to be found at
double the distance in other direc.
tons. The picturesque country round
Egham was comparatively free from
the eruption of villa residences which
crowd other localities.
Mrs Saville, who felt the quiet of
her country home rather oppressive,
began to wish for some one to break
the painful monotony of her thoughts
some one whose face and voice were
quite unconnected with the past-"the
past" to her, meaning the evsr-present
image Of her offending son. She had
a certain sense of relief in the pros.

The corner stone of opera Is the ten
or, and tenors are scarcer than four
leaf clovers Comic operas are now
written with baritone heroes for that
reason, the Brooklyn Eagle says, but
the great operas were written when
the disappearance of the tenor had not
been dreamed of, and tenors must be
had to sing in them; else no opera.
Hence a tenor voice Is surer and
often larger source Of income than
a gold mine. Opera managers go up
and down the world listening to cab
men, truck drivers, old clO' vendors
and the singers of popular songs in
the cheap resorts, in the hope of hear
ing voice that can be developed into
an operate tenor. For heretofore ten
ors, like the poets, have been born and
not made. The managers best chance
was to find such a voice before his RI
walls and pay for its education.
But Jean De Reszke changed all
that. He sang for years as not es-
pecially conspicuous baritone In Eu-
rope. He was a good enough artist,
but nobody thought Of calling him
great Then a Paris teacher. adding
two or three notes to the top of his
voice, in few months transformed
De Reszke from singer at $4,000
month to one drawing $4,000 night.
Since his transformation the must.
cal world has dreamed Of raising bar.
itones into tenors as the alchemists
dreamed of transmitting lead to gold.
And now a New York teacher has done
the trick. Rudolf Berger, who has
long been one of the baritones of the
Berlin opera, was the subject of the
experiment. On Tuesday night he re-
appeared in Berlin, after years
study here, ass&tenor. and sang Lo-
hengrin, witt b . cable reports
to be great succe1 THE audience Is
said to have gone wild over the sue
cess of the singer and his teacher, and
with other baritones the problem of
an opera for every city would be
solved Probably 1t cannot, more than
once or twice in a generation, but that
will not prevent lot of ambitious
teachers from trying it. Presently we
shall see advertisements, Tenors

the signs of the emergency tailors. 1t
Is a great idea-if it will work.
