There must be something in sport
ing blood that produces the musical
temperament when the two most tai
ented of young American musicians,
Geraldine Farrar and Albert Spald-
ing, are both the children of famous
baseball players. The distinguished
soprano is the daughter of Sid. C..
Farrar, long a member of the Phila-
delphia Nationals, and the greatest
of American violin virtuosos is
the son of AL. G.. Spalding, whose ca
reer and fame are too we'll known for
repetition here.
Mr.. Spalding is a violinist of the
most extraordinary technical powers.
He has a beautiful sensuous tone,
great warmth of conception, Joined
with comprehensive mentality
which enables him to put these quail
ties to the best use.
Spalding has in his artistic make
up that which appeals to both lay
man and professional; his warm,
singing, soulful tone will always
please miscellaneous audience,
while his mastery Of the violin, his
sterling musicianship and his exqui-
site taste in all things pertaining to
Interpretation must win the admira-
ton of connoisseurs. Spalding' s
technique is highly developed; it is
fluent, it is reliable and clean cut,
What makes Spalding's art partic-
ularly attractive are the above men
toned qualities of his round, noble,
ringing tone, which recalls Will
helmj's, and a temperament filled
with youthful freshness.
Albert Spalding was born in Chi
cago in 1888, and began his studies
at an early age with Professor Chit
in Florence, where he lived in the
winter, studying in the summer in his
own country with the Spanish master
Professor J. BuitragO. When he was

Tin COrsetS Draw Bolt.

A pair of corsets, made OF tin
stays, came near causing the death OF
Mary Taylor, the nine-year-old daugh-
ter Of John P. Taylor, farmer liv-
ing several miles south Of Petersburg,
Ind. During an electrical storm the
child crawled beneath the rear porch
at her home, looking for a hens
nest, and while there lightning
struck the house, partially wrecking
it, but injuring none but the little
girl in her hiding place.
The child was taken from under
the house, unconscious from serious
burns. Her mother, in undressing
her, found the child had on rudely
constructed corsets, which had been
made of tin taken from the sides or
old cans. The metal had been mashed
into shape and covered with cloth by
the child. One Of the stays contained
a small hole and the tin was meltc '.
The child recovered.

BY the foregoing census it appears
the House of Commons is like the
American Congress, popular place
for lawyers. The English legislative
body, though, is strongly represen-
tative of a number Of trades and pro-
fessions not markedly present in the
lower House in Washington, notably
storekepers, farmers, teachers, mill
tary and government officials, doc
tors, literary men and clergymen.
Peers sons and brothers, too, are
in a class by themselves, inasmuch as
there are few men of leisure in Con-
gress who could be compared with
them.
The American Senate is almost en-
tirely made up of lawyers and cap
tains of industry, whereas the Brit
ish House of Lords is almost entirely
made up of men of leisure.

Has Earned $4,000 in Ring in Eight Months,
But Asks His Mother for Spending Money

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-S-a-yi
His name is Valentine! What do
you think of that?
Valentine (Knockout) Brown,
who in eight months has taken
home $4,000 and dumped it into
The old woman's apron, responds
to the fancy monacher when his
mother speaks.
This boy, who sports the ear
marks of lightweight champion
in the making, lives with his
parents, a brother, married sis
ter, nephew and niece and two
dogs, IN four rooms, en- the second
floor of a First avenue tenement.
The entrance, plain vanished
door, is thanked by Chinese
laundry and a butter and egg
store.
Mrs. Brown says she used to
worry when Valentine went out to
fight, but now-well, he will fight
anyway, SO she don't mind it SO
much.
OF the money he has received
from 10 fights Brown hasn't kept
a cent. His spending money is
what his mother allows him. He
has no exalted ideas and no ex-
pensiye tastes to crafty. A SIS
serge suit is good enough for him,
and with a golf cap and russet
shoes completes his sartorial lay
out.
Brown is only nineteen. Out.
side of the ring he is a quiet
mild-mannered boy, with little tC
say. There is nothing pugnacious
about him. In the ring he is q
ferocious fighter with a streak oil
lviciousness. He wades in and
beats his opponents down like 6
Cyclone.
Brown has been fighting lit
tie more than two years. In this
time he has had 70 battles and
has not tasted decisive defeat. He
earned the name of Knockout by
winning his first II scraps with 6
sleep punch. He wont the eight
zenith with a decision, then knock.
ed out eight more in a row. Since
then he has landed the sleeper Ii
