Milan and Vienna, singing In the
cafes, in music halls and in vaudeville
theaters, and one morning Paris woke
up to find her the reigning sensation
at the Folies Bergere, where her sing
ing and dancing opened a new world
before her-a world which must have
been revelation to the flower girl
Of the Piazza Colonna, but of which
she was not slow to take full advan-
tage. Rue de la Paix gowns, jewels.
carriages and fine house became
Cavalieri as naturally as her glossy
black hair. The dressmakers quickly
found their creations looked better
on her supple figure than in their
shop windows, and there Is no bet
ter advertisement for a Paris dress
maker than to have his gowns ad-
mired from the boxes where enrap-
tured audiences applaud a reigning
favorite.
Her First Step to Power.
It was in Paris that Cavalieri made
her first great conquest and one that
had a far-reaching effect on her sub
SoQu6uC career. TTluC0 AlcAduuSI
Bariatinski, younger son Of a noble
Russian house, fell a victim to her
beauty and lent his rubles and his
influence to push her fortunes with
the operate managers. But for the
prince perhaps Lima never would have
risen higher than the Folies Bergere,
for, after all, she was a better dancer
than singer at that time, and more
successful beauty than either a sing
er or dancer. But upon the advice
Of the prince she quit the bright lights
of the theaters and cafes and settled
down to a few years Of hard study,
and when she again made her appear
ance before the public-in Lisbon this
time-it was on the operate stage
and as a dangerous rival Of all the
then accepted song birds of Europe.
Voice culture was not all Cavalieri
had learned In her retirement. The
Russian prince had been teaching her
lessons in love as well. Whether
Lima really had learned them or
whether she acted from an impulse
of gratitude is not certain, but any
| way she married the prince and they
lived happily-almost a year.

BRANDS DR.. COOK FAKER
Former Columbia Professor Tells Ex'
porers Club of Unsuccessful
Attempt to Gain Summit

New York.-PrOf. Herschel Z.
Parker, formerly of Columbia univer-
sity, who returned from his unsuc-
cessful attempt to climb Mount Nc
Kinley, made his first public state
ment of the result of his trip before
the Explorers club. He denounced
from the platform the so-called Lloyd
party, which protested to have
climbed Mount Mckinley in April
last.
Prof. Parker said that he had been
closer to the summit than any pre-
vious explorer, and that from the OBJ
servations which he was enabled to
make there, the story of the Lloyd
party's achievement was man1testly
a fabrication. Prof Parker traversed
the entire route DR.. Frederick A.
Cook once claimed to have covered,
and he told the members of the EX-
plorers' club very frankly that DR..
Cook did not have anything on the
Lloyd party when it came to fiction.

with the drowning of his wife in
Fox lake on Aug. %.
Justice William Mcconnell de-

him free.
DR.. Hecker will return to his Hi

fishing with her husband, fell from
the boat and was drowned before the
physician could reach her. The state
found witnesses, who told Of circum-

of whether the drowning was acct

failed to support their charges at the
preliminary hearing, and as a result
DR.. Hecker was cleared.

Company F, Fifty-second Pennsyl
vania, in National Tribune.
An expedition started from Battery
Chatfield, on the lower part of Morris
island, composed of 81 eight-oared
boats, called surfboats, for the capture
Of the fort. We had to row against the
tide, and were not able to land until
daybreak. AS soon as the rebels dis
covered what we were doing they
opened up on us, and they made an
awful racket. The expedition was COM
posed of all of the men fit for duty OF
the Fifty-second Pennsylvania, the
One Hundred and Twenty-sixth New
Jersey and a few from the Third
Rhode Island heavy artillery. Seven
boats went back and left us. We
first took Brooks battery, which was
near to the shore on James island,
and then went for Fort Johnson,
which was an earth fort We had to
go through a marsh between the forts
of about an eighth mile.
The commander of the expedition
was Col. Henry NJ. Hoyt of our regi-
ment. We fought quite awhile, with
tn rebels on one side of the parapet
and we on the other. We finally got
on top of the parapet, but the colonel
saw there was not enough of us to take
the fort, and he raised his handker-
chief upon his sword and we surren-
dered. l did not know until then that
the rest of the expedition had gone
back and left us, for l did not look
back after we landed until then.
We were taken into Charleston, and
found few rebel soldiers there. We
were sure that if we had all landed
We could have taken Charleston on
July a. 1864, as easy as not. We were
taken to Andersonville in few days,
and were there three or four months,

et the CIty Man TRY,

It has been decided in stirring de-
bate by the Pomona Grange of Kent
county, Rhode Island, that the city
man had better stay where he Is and
not try to come back to the farm. It
is unfortunate that the dispatches
from Rhode Island omit to mention
why the city man would do better in
the city than on the farm. Somehow,
it appears to us up in Massachusetts
as If the city man was just the sort OF
man for the farm The farmer hasn't
as a rule got much money out of the

the city Teller see what he can do?

Helen Of Troy kept men fighting by
land and sea for ten long years. That
these women were beautiful the world
must believe. It has no better au-
thority for the fact than that upon
which it bases the tradition that
Julius Caesar had red hair and that
immortal Homer was blind.
But today, when beauty's secrets
can be learned out Of a book with
almost the same precision as biscuit
making, when newspapers publish the
pictures of professional beauties In
every corner of the globe and every
country and every race has innumer-
able candidates for the prize, Lima
Cavalieri. the cafe singer of a dozen
years ago, the prima donna of to-
day, can be called "the most beau
tiful woman in the world" with no
voice raised against her title. The
career of this extraordinary woman
whose beauty has dazzled two con-
tinents and whose conquests have
grown until she Classics them by
nationalities, would have a place in
mythology with Venus and Minerva
had she lived in the heroic age. Poets
would have sung her conquests and
kings would have bled and died (but
mostly vicariously) for her smile.
But La Cavaliert does not live in an
heroic age. She lives in an extreme
ly practical and business-like one,
and instead of having kings for her
vassals, has more wisely chosen mil
lionaires. With these bound to her
chariot wheels by the kind of shackles
men will wear when pierced by loves
poisonSweet dart she has held a con-
tinuous triumphant progress through
Europe for ten years, and the world
has become so used to the spectacle
that not much notice Is taken except
when one of her slaves falls on the
road and the chariot rolls over him,
and he is left behind with the dust
of it in his eyes and his broken ropes
of flowers and tinsel dangling round
his neck.
Such a one is the beautiful Lna's

DAME NATURE HINTS

with the food. The old Dame is al

"A friend persuaded me to quit the

foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts
instead. I shall never regret taking
his advice. / began using them three
months ago.
