Colonel Mapleson's Story of the Cast
That First Sang the Opera
"Carmen" In the United
States.

The cast that first sang the now
celebrated opera Carmen" in this
country consisted of the world famous
tenor, Italo Campanini; Del Puente,
the baritone, and the American stars,
Minnie Hauck and Alwina Valera.
They sang the opera and scored
great triumph therein under the dfrec-
ton of the late Col. James H. Maple
son, the operate impresario; and one
of the most amusing stories of the
troubles of an impresario that Colonel
Mapleson ever told me related to this
famous Carmen" cast.
81 had seen the opera In Paris,
said Colonel Mapleson, "and deciding
that it would be a great success in
London and the United States, made
arrangements to produce It in both
countries-at Drury Lane, in the early
summer, and at New York's Academy
of Music in the autumn. Then sent

An Enterprising Woman Conceives the
Idea of Destroying Them
With Electricity.

Rats being an ever-present plague,
and prevalent the world over, it is sur
prising that electricity has not been
utilized to destroy them. An enter
prising woman conceived the idea of
DISCRIMINATING the pests and wants the
world to benefit from her success. She
places a portable electric battery, with
double wires, in that part of the house,
barn or field frequented by the pests;
she puts the bait midway between the
two wires. AS a protection for man
and beast she placed discarded iron
crib over the battery and bait-the
Sits being wide enough for the rats to
enter, but small enough to exclude the
small animals about the place.

Why England Honored Grant

'You are right confessed Lord
Russell. cit seems to me that General
Grant should be received as the most
distinguished private citizen of the
United States and one Of the great
military commanders of the worlds
history.
ooh, no." replied Mr. Pierrepont,
bluntly, ''that won't do at all"
well, then" said Lord Russell.
"Tell me what seems to you would be
an appropriate official reception"
The reply was instantly given. Gen
eral Grant should be received with all
the honors that you are accustomed
to bestow upon any one who has serv-
ed as ruler of great nation. He
has been not only great general, but
also president of the United States
for nearly eight years."
But" protested Lord Russell,
'there isn't any precedent for official
recognition of that Sort"
eff precedent be necessary, Lord
John, can call one to your attention"
"Indeed?"
"The reception, Lord John, England
accorded to one who was an ex-presi-
dent of the French Republic and ex-
emperor of France--Napoleon III
when he came to your shores an
exile"
Lord John Russell's face went In
stantly blank. Slowly he recovered
from his establishment
"Mr. Pierrepont," he said finally,
you are right. General Grant shall
be received with all the ceremony and
etiquette properly appertaining to one
who has been the ruler of a great ma
ton
And in such fashion Citizen Grant
was greeted and entertained some
months later by the representatives of
the British government.
