Italian Songster Loses $4,000 By
Failure to Appear in Grand Opera
Roles Due TO Warning Given Him
BY Woman in Whose Predictions He
Has Absolute Confidence-Thinks Is
About TO Lose His Wonderful Voice.

New York, Jan. .15.-That Signor
Enrico Caruso, the greatest living ten
or, is the victim of an amazing case
case of superstition is firmly believed
at the Metropolitan opera house. At
least six times within the last three
weeks Caruso has remained out of the
cast of operas in which he was sched-
uled to appear. Ricardo Martin, the
native born, foreign-taught tenor, has
taken his place.
Although naturally thrifty, Caruso
has let 5000 slip through his fin
gers if his reputed salary of $500 a
performance is correct.
Here is the explanation current
among the tenor's intimates at the op-
era house:
"Caruso has been told by a woman
soothsayer, a creature in whom he
places absolute confidence because of
prediction she made that came true,
that he is soon to lose his voice. He
fears to use it frequently lest he shall

within the last few days. Each time

have been: There is nothing the mat
ter with your throat; it is as good as
ever ii was, or as it could possibly

Despite this assurance, Caruso has
grieved and feared, until, it is said,
the strain imposed Is seriously telling
on him and may in reality affect his
voice"

ARCHIBALD HEBRON, who is to be

murder of Rev. d. d. Pickett at Me-
tuchen last July, has been pronounced
insane by the prison doctor and an APP
plication was made for a reprieve to
permit of an expert examination by
alienists. Heron has been keeping up
a disturbance ever since he reached the
state prison, but that is scarcely evil
dence of insanity. 1t is said that when
Herroh's counsel got to Governor
Fort with his application and was
met with peremptory refusal. The
governor said he would not permit in
sanity lodges, brain storms or unwrit-
ten law to interfere with the course
of justice in this state SO long as he
could prevent it. This settles Her
ron's case. His offense was cold
blooded murder and no doubt he will
pay the penalty.

THE CONSTITUTION is
SOVEREIGN.

Impressiyely pertinent to the issue
which has been raised in both houses
of congress involving the respective
prerogatives of the president and the
Legislative body, is passage from DR..
Nicholas hurry Buffers recently
published book, "The American as
He Is" which work, as a whole, is,
perhaps, the clearest and most com
prehensiye analysis of the American
character and Of the fundamental
principles of our government, that
has yet been given in so brief a space.
We quote the passage referred to:
1.-THE president is an organ of gov
eminent, and he directly represents
the sovereign people who choose him.
He is entirely independent of the leg
iSlature, save through the process of
impeachment. His powers and duties
are those which the constitution pre-
scribes He is not king or the sue
cessor of kings. He is the nation s
chief executive, separated by the
terms of the constitution from the
nations legislature. the congress, as
well as from the nations judiciary,
the United States supreme court and
the inferior federal tribunals.
Therefore, a controversy between
the president and the congress is not
parallel to a controversy between an
absolute monarch and the legislature
of his country, in which the repre-
sentatives of the people are all on one
side. 1t Is controversy between tive
of the peoples representatives. The
history of American politics shows
clearly how thoroughly the people re.
gard the president as their direct rep
resentative. The power of the
presidential Office has steadily in
creased, not in opposition to the will
of the people, but because OF their will
and their confidence In the presidents
Of their choosing"

why Servants BECOME INSANE.


In the annual report Of DR.. Britton
d. Evans, he says :"Of the number
admitted to the state insane asylum
during the past year 100 we're house
maids and domestics. This is thirty
per cent. Of the total admissions.
When asked as to the cause of SO large
a percentage Of servants who become
insane he gave as a reason that maids
from foreign lands are disappointed
after arriving here because Of false i'm
pressions which have been given them
relative to the possibilities of success
in this country. The remedy is to
give them more diversion to help them
overcome the worries of Homework.
