MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April
14.-Now they say Olive Frem-
stad, famous Minneapolis. prima
donna, once was employed as a
domestic.
It's a sensation in the east,
where they ask a mans credent-
ials before they let him into a
church.
It's a sensation here In the
northwest, but rather a pleasing
sensation. They're glad to hear
out here that the little Norwegian
diva had her battle of life to fight,
had a lowly beginning.
Bravo" shouts the northwest.
"She's got better stuff in her than
we thought"
''Fremstad dOmestic-well,
what of it?" they demand. ''Is 1t
q disgrace to have been poor once?
And aren't all the greatest singers
the children of poor parents?"
How about Mary Garden, poor,
obscure little church singer, who
would have never been known had
not rich friends interested them
selves in her.
How about just as poor Geral-
dine Farrar, daughter of a base
ball player, who had to dig and
hustle to carve out her own mus
ical future?
How about Patti, whose par
ents, though talented musicians,
were poorer than church mice?
How about Nordica, daughter
of a German garrison musician?
And for all Minneapolis knows,
the sensation which prompts the
east to turn up it's aristocratic
nose may not be true.
1t happened this way:
G. H. Fowler. a Springfield,
Mass, man, had a grievance. Nine.
managers charge tool
much for seats at her concerts.
In England, when one has a,
grievance one takes his pen in
hand and writes the editor of the
London Times about it. So with
the sorehead writes
the editor of the Springfield Re-
publican.
This is the letter Fowler wrote:
Editor of the Republican: Il
lived in Minneapolis from 1884 tt
1889, and came to Springfield in
1893. In 1886 in Minneapolis we
had our piano tuned by a man
named Fremstad, who said he had

have brought up In the American
way and wanted to know If we

PAT1EN To SELL
OUT ALL HIS
WHEAT

CHICAGO, April 14.-James A.
Patten, who cornered the visible
supply Of wheat and forced the
prices skyward during the past
few days, announced his intention
today of getting out Of the present
market. He said that he would
close out his long line Of wheat at
once.
Patten made the prediction that
after he was out of the market
wheat would reach a higher mark
than 1t touched today.
New crop records were estab-
lished by May and July wheat be-
fore the close of the exchange.
July mounted to e1.1S Is and
May first went to S1.28 Ia and
then to e1.28 Sd.
