Everybody seems to be asking, in view
of present developments, what. exactly,
is Nicaragua, how large is it, what are
its resources, commerce and climate?
Some interesting comparisons and facts,
prepared by the international bureau OF

these pertinent natural questions.
There is only four square miles differ

the state of New York Take Connect

MADAME JON ELI.

Madame Jomeli, who is to sing with
the Treble Clef club on the evening of
December Is has been accorded the high
est praise of the critics in many cities.
In one of the leading eastern papers, last
season, appeared the following:
ut is not always the case that grand
opera artists sing up to their regulations
on the concert stage. Nine Jomelli ex-
ceeded hers at her first appearance in
this city and demonstrated that she had
no need of the support of big orchestra
and chorus and all the stimulating sur
roundings of grand opera to display her
artistry There were no vocal defects
to call for conoealment, and there was
temperament behind the vocalism to
charge 1t with the feeling and emotion
suited to the song. 1t is difficult to
express the pleasure that Nine. Jomelli
gave to her audience without appearing
to use words of too extravaganza praise
But those who heard her will agree that
there is less danger of extravaganza of
laudation than that reference to this con-
cert would be couched In terms OF too
great moderation. Nine Jomelli deserves
all that can be said by way of praise,
not only for her beautiful voice and per-
lection Of method, but for her gracious
ness and generous disposal of her powers
to give enjoyment to her audience. She
seemed to take pleasure In their pleas
ure."
