Of party rehabilitation come with poor
grace from those whose envy, hatred
and treason have brought about the
defeat of the party. The republicans
of Indiana would support Mr.. Foulke
for court fool for the next administra-
tration or consul-general to the Sicily
islands. This fills mp tho measure Of
Mr.. Foulke's expectations at the hands
of Indiana republicans who have him
accurately sized up. II he can do bet

it will excite nothing but contempt
and derision.

MUSIC

The following article from the Mu-
steal Courier concerning Madame
Marchesi the celebrated opera singer,
who will be heard in recital at the
Gennett theater Monday evening, is as
follows:
After an absence of several years
from American, Blanche Marchesi, the
daughter Of Matilda Marchesi, the
celebrated teacher of voice. returned
to America, opening her season at ST.
Paul January l and giving her second
recital at the Studebaker theater on
January 8. There is no gain-saying
the fact that Madame Marchesi is an
artist Of extraordinary power, an ar
tistic interpreter of great authority,
and the value that she puts into a
song demonstrates at once extraordin-
airy character which, in the usual
song delivery, is not vouchsafed to us.
The more profound the musical know
ledge. the higher the appreciation in
her case, because it Is the true lover
of music>who instinctively seeks for
the subtleties of the art. who finds

the art. Her best numbers at her

Paul press commented as follows on
Madame Marchesi:
Blanche Marchesi. the eminent
French song interpreter. graced the
program az soloist and quite took the
house by storm. Hers is the sort OF
singing which makes a house demand
more. involuntarily, SO contagious is
her Joy in the. doing. Her presence
had all the charm and grace that one
must have to have earned the reputa-
ton that she has in the artistic world.
Her voice is full soprano; her tone
production Is delightfully."- easy, but it
10 rather more as an Interpreter of
songs than as vocalist that she
shines.-Pioneer Press.
Madame Marchesi's reception was
splendidly enthusiastic and as the
singer was quite as gracious as the
audience was cordial. the original pro-
gram was almost doubled with en-
cores.-St. Paul News.
The singing of Blanche Marchesi
demonstrates the existence of a truth
after which genius is always search
ing-that the more infallible the art
Of the singer the more nearly does it
come to being the art OF the poet or
the painter. When she sang the aria
from Der Freischutz" recently
in the Symphony Orchestra's con-
| cert at the Auditorium, she pro-
| duced effects that we're hardly to be
accounted for by vocal technics
Where the singer with a great voice
gives lucid exposition Of the manner
Of her achievement. Madame Marchesi
shrouds her methods in mystery and
thereby makes her singing tenfold
more impressive. Without a great
vocal gift, she is still great singer
but she would doubtless have been
quite as great had she chosen some
other artistic medium.-St Paul Dis

Interurban Employees Prepar-

Against "Suit Casers."
USUAL SATURDAY CROWD

Cambridge City, Ind, Jan. 16-The
interurban company expected to make
trouble when the celebrated suit case
gang from New Castle left for home
tonight, if there were any attempt on
the part of its members to be looking
for a scrap. The car crew had more
than it could handle a week ago, but
was prepared for the Henry county
men tonight. When the car left here,
everything appeared very orderly, al
though there was the usual number OF
suit cases and besides, there was a
plenty in the pockets. -. a--
For several weeks it has been the
custom of number OF New Castle
men to come to Cambridge City, Satur-
day afternoon. They always bring suit
cases and store away in them b fore
leaving town, bountiful supply OF in
toxicants. 1t is claimed that some of
the visitors have their suit cases pa
titioned like box used for shippinx
eggs and the contents are stored away
SO there is no danger of breakage.

In the reign Of Edward I'LL there
were eminent clothiers and WOODEN

manufactured that comfortable mate

used for peasants' clothing.

It seems that blur King Henry VIII.

true: he merely hasn't had time to
look it up.

The conclusion of the whole matter
is as we understand it. that the thing
for the republican party in Indiana to
do is to apply for receiver. and let
Mr. Foulke be the receiver Mr.. Foulke
realizes that if he ever has anything to
say in Indiana politics back home it
will be by some such designation. He
thinks it would be a good thing II the
administration would say to all Hoos-
Ter republicans who apply at the pie
counter: Back. varlets, my old chum.
William Dudley Foulke has told me
what a wretched lot you are. Get ye
hence and lead a chastened life, read
Foulke's complete works as proper
pcnance for your cussedness. and II,
perchance you can come back here
with certificate of character from
Foulke few years hence 1 may take
some chances on YOU"
To speak frankly, the principal trou-
BILE with the republican party in Indian
is the disloyalty Of factionalists of the
Foulko stripe. What they can not rule
an they can rule nothing. they set out
to destroy. Foulke himself was against
the republican state ticket until d.
rected to get into line by the appoint
ing power. His newspaper at Rich
mond gave the lie to his affected sup
port of the ticket by fighting it. AS
for Foulke and his kind. such men
could be nominated or elected to any
thing. They would die by the sword
of factionslism which they long have

in various parts Of the country, the
ahcrge being violation Of the Sherman
antitrust law in an alleged combine. %
At the department Of Justice today
it was stated that the Government in
tends to push this forward, regardless
Of the death Of the master mind that
controlled these interests.
The Government has had but very few
suits ir which Mr.. Hartman figured

One notable action, however, in which
Mr.. Hartman figured individually. was
that OF the Interstate Commerce Com

NEW HEAD OF FAMILY
GREATLY LIKE FATHER
Walter Averel Hartman Although But Seventeen ears
DID, Possesses Characteristics Of One Many Years
His Senior-Always Unassumng and Modest.

Walter Averell Hartman, eldest son
and heir Of the late r. H Hartman,
is an unasSuminz youngster, seventeen
years old Although boyish in appear
ance he possesses all the character
lstics of one many years his senior. and
for decisiveness and activity reminds
one OF his father
Long since impressed with the respon-
sibility that would be thrust upon him,
sooner or later. young Hartman went
about learning railroading. He realized
that this could not be accomplished by
taking a seat in his fathers Office, but
that he must begin at the bottom and
get technical knowledge Of every
branch Of the railroad working Neither
did he want any favors because ne was
the son of his father.
He simply wanted TO learn the intri-
cacies of the game, and with surveyors
of one of the Western railroads he
started out carrying the chain For
some time his identity was unknown.
He was hard at work recently when a
telegram summoned INN TO his family
at Arden.
Rides On Few Passes.
When young Hartman reached Jer-
sey City he boarded a local train: he
had no use for a parlor car. In his
eagerness TO catch the train he failed
TO secure his ticket, and when ap-
preached by the conductor he informed
him of the oversight. His name, how
ever. was sufficient to carry him to Ar
den. Although he had Deen a frequent
traveller between Jersey City and Arden

for no faVOrs.

that young Hartman had his first ex-
perience with newspaper men. It was q

something new. His brown eyes sparkled
when asked regarding his future plans,

Conservative In Dress.
There is nothing about young Harri-
man 10 distinguish him from the thou
sands of commuters who travel over the
Erie daily. He might enter the offices
of his father at 100 Broadway without
attracting any notice. He prefers blue
serge, with ties and socks OF lighter
shades, He generally wears a soft hat

He is about five feet seven inches tall
and weighs about l23 pounds When
asked If he intended to succeed his faith
er as me moving spirit in the railroad
world, young Hartman frankly admit
ted that he had only started in the
game and that he had considerable to
learn before he would attempt to tackle
any executive position.

PHYSICIANS DECLARE
WIZARD HAD CANCER

BERLIN, Sept. 1O-Prof StruempePs s
admission today that his diagnosis Of
Edward H. Harrman's ailment showed
the railway masnate to have cancer,
confirms the Vienna professors state
ment given just as Hartman was leav-
ing for home. Prof Struempel issued
a signed statement today as follows:
Il diagnosed Mr.. Harriman's complaint
as carcinoma Of the stomach. I in
formed Mr. Harriman's American physi-
clans that the condition diG not indl-
cate that an operation was hopeless. I
hastened Mr.. Harriman's departure
homewaTd."
Prof StruempeTs diagnosis was so
complete that Dr. Biggar, Of Cleveland
physician 10 John D. Rockefeller, gave
IL as his opinion that Hartman was
undoubtedly suffering from cancer. Prof
Struempel made no mention Of cancer
In his diagnosis, but DIT Blggar said
that the treatment prescribed could be
for nothing else.

the change for the worse set in. he
stopped the men at work on the grounds
of Arden House, of whom there were
some 800 or 400. They were not, how
ever, sent down the hill until Just before
O'Clock. This was in order not to rouse
suspicion among the villagers. Most Of
the men are employed on the mountain
railway, which is nearing completion.
That Mr.. Hartman sincerely believed
he was improving when he sent the note
70 the newspapers requesting the with
drawal of their representatives last
week is borne out by the fact that there
were no physicians at the Hartman
home in the latter part of last week
