A DENVER GIRLS SUCCESS.
Miss Frances Rose, Soprano, Favor
lite at the kaiser's Theater,

Paris. March 1S.-A Denver girl,
Frances Rose, has just signed con.
tract with the Metropolitan Opera
company to go to New York, two years
hence, and sing leading soprano roles
She is now member of the Berlin
Royal Opera company, which sings III
the kaiser's own theater, and her con.
tract there extends till 1912.
Miss Roses work has created a sen.
vent garden debut two weeks ago
when she repeated the triumphs she
had already scored in Berlin and
Wiesbaden. She went to London with
other Berlin artistes and sang Chryso.
themis in "Elektra."
The famous Strauss opera created
such a furore in the British capital
that five special performances, in ad.
dition to those originally scheduled,
have been arranged. After the initial
production the London Standard said
For Miss Frances Rose as Chryso-
themis the triumph was complete. 1t
was beautiful and glorious represent
tation."
The Observer described Miss Rose s
work as "a splendid achievement" and
said that the scene in which she fig
ured most conspicuously was superb
ly realized" The comments of other
papers were no less complimentary.
Miss Rose has been in Europe three
years and has had the advantage OF
= hn in ,u IN oh ai In
the continent. She created the role
of Chrysothemis at the premiere of
"Elektra" in Berlin more than year
ago. Doctor Strauss offered her the
title part, but she requested the other
role as one slightly less wearing on
the voice. She also created "Salome,"
singing the title role when that opera
was first staged. She learned both
operas under the personal direction
of the composer.
The emperor and the empress wit
messed the initial production of "Sa-
| lone" and were so pleased with Miss
Roses singing and acting that she
| was commanded to appear before
them in private audience. After hear
| ing her sing again the kaiser person
| ally expressed his admiration and APP
probation.
The kaiser also attended two per.
| formances in which she sang leading
| parts in Les Huguenots" and Tam
hauser," and on the day following one
of these appearances Miss Rose was
asked to renew her contract with the
Berlin Royal Opera company for three
years. This she did

GIVES LIFE ON LEPERS' ALTAR.
Father Lambert L. conrady Dying in
Chinese Colony.

Chicago, March 22-The Rev Lam
bert Louis Conrady is dying of lepro-
sy among the lepers near Canton.
China.
Even the friends of the priest hard
ly will appreciate the pathos of this
simple announcement, which reached
Chicago yesterday. They know Father
Conrady had no fear of death even
by leprosy. They know he chose his
task and went to carry it out. He first
went to leper colony more than
twenty years ago. 1t is not known
when he contracted the disease.
The tragedy is found in his des-
pairing sense of failure with success
within his grasp, expressed in a let
ter ~rtten by him few months ago,
when he felt the malady creeping
upon him and felt himself physically
unable to fight the battle before him.
He wrote:
81 am not well, but hope that God
will give me few years more to
work among the lepers.
II have begun well; it would be
easy now to go ahead. If l can live
only five years more.
IF l was only 40 years old-then
| feared no one and nothing"
Father Conrady was born in Belgium
in 1841 and was educated for the
missionary priesthood in Paris, being
ordained in 1867 He spent seven
years as missionary in India, and
then came to the United States to
labor in the same capacity among
the Indian tribes of the northwest.
During the fourteen years that he
was engaged in this work he went
through a number of Indian wars be-
ing present at many battles, and won
the friendship of President Cleveland
on a trip to Washington in behalf of
his redskin charges. He also became
naturalized American citizen.
In 1888 he heard of the illness of
Father Damien, the young Belgian
priest, whose life and death in the
| leper colony of Molokai evoked Rob.
ert Louis Stevensons famous letter
He wrote and asked if he could be of
assistance, and on receiving an affir-
native reply sailed at once for Ha-
wall. He was Father Damien's com
panion for a year and after the lat
ter's death continued his work for
seven years.
The American occupation and the
support of the colony by the state
made individual sacrifice no longer es-
| sential, so he set out for Canton,
China, where he had heard that the
lepers were neglected.

Forepauqh Beauty Dead.

New York, March 21.-Louise Mon
tague, the woman who was once her
aided far and wide over the country
as the ten thousand dollar beauty"
died at her home, 164 Manhattan ave-
nue..
Louise MontagIe's beauty was for
years the talk and wonder of Ameri-
ca. Her name was the synonym of
beauty, and everywhere she went she
was talked about and petted and held
court like a queen.
After the first rage over her had
subsidized she sought the quiet of pri-
vate life, but a few years afterward
went on the stage because it was dis
covered that she had talents equal To
her beauty.
She had a splendid soprano voice
and fine dramatic ability, and so she
appeared with Edward E. Rice's COM
pany in the "Corsair" and then be-
came the star of David Henderson's
"Sinbad, the Sailor" and was perhaps
one of the greatest fayorites that
Broadway ever knew.
But she had no triumph like thai
of the first few years in which she
appeared before the public. She was
only girl then of IS or 10. Adam
Forepaugh, the Snowman, discovered
her and determined to make her beau
ty a feature of his show. With his
showman's cunning, he first deter
mined to lay foundation that would
arouse great interest and expectancy
in the public mind, so he advertised in
1878 that he would pay $4,000 to find
the most beautiful woman in Ameri-
ca.
Interest was aroused all over the
country and the public was on tiptoe
with excitement. Finally came the
announcement that the judges, after
considering thousands of beautiful
women, had decided on Louise Mon
tague as the loveliest of them all, and
that she would go with the circus and
take part in every street parade.
A great chariot was especially cob.
structed, on which was an immense
globe, and seated on this, gorgeously
dressed, rode the young woman above
a great sign which proclaimed in gold
letters:
"Forepaugh's $4,000 Prize Beauty"
After few years on the stage Miss
Montague again retired to private life.
She lived for long time in a beauti
fully furnished house in West Sixty
