'Readjusting" Singers Salaries.

From the New York Evening Post.
Pity the poor opera singer. When every
body else's wages are going up his are
going to be cut. Here Is the merciless
Andreas Dippel back from a vacation
abroad calmly announcing that there will
be a decrease in singers salaries from
now on. OF course. this impresarto Is
careful not to use the word cut" He
merely says: I'VE shall readtust sala-
ries." But when q man who has just
driven his sole competitor out Of bust
ness and thereby established complete
monopoly talks about adjusting salaries
we all know what 1t means. Singers
must look out for trouble. First-class
tenors who now get over $1,000 a night
will be cut to $99999 on a basis of 20
per cent decrease in appearances. How
are our prima donnas to dress IL they are
to get a chance to make only some $4,000
or $1,000 a week? The thing is. prepos-
ferrous. Obviously, there is nothing left
for them to do but to organize a union.
For behind DIPPED stand the European
impresarios, long angry because Ameri-
cans have exemplified on the opera stage
their political belief that cheap clothes
make q cheap man or woman. Let every
singer high and low. join their organiza-
tion and have a fixed wage scale for Eu-
rope and America Why should they be
against when every con-
ductor and brakeman u having his wages
raised?

Receives Imperial Family.

The formal reception of the great array
OF Hapsburg archdukes and archduch-
esses took place at half-past IL. This
hundred, but on this occasion only
those members who are OF age were pres
ent This means girls who are sixteen
and boys who are eighteen. and the pre-
else number present was seventy-four.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand. with his
morganatic wife. the Duchess Sophie Ho-
henberg, OF course, came first. Their chill
dren are too young 10 accompany them.
Then followed the next heir in the line of
succession TO the throne, Archduke Carl
Francis Joseph. with his brother and
mother, Archduchess Maria Josepha. The
Tuscany branch of the family, which Is
VIGOROUSLY hard up. comes very near
the top In It's near relationship to the
sovereign. Perhaps the most striking per-
sonage in the whole list was Archduke
and clad in the long white cloak of the
knights of the Teutonic Order, whose
grand master he is. This high dignity.
which is always held by an archduke,
brings in a magnificent income. but It can
only be retained so long as the holder re-
mains a bachelor.
Another picturesque figure was the en-
peror's cousin. the aged Archduke Rainer,
five years older than the monarch. He is
charitable old man, much beloved by
the market women in the famous old
Naschmarkt in Vienna. Almost at the
end OF the long procession came the Arch
duke Frederick. who, although very dis

the richest member OF the imperial fam
lily. Coal and iron in Bohemia, vast es-
tates in Hungary. and perhaps the larg-

USES FOR THE SUNFLOWEn
Oil From Seed and Fabric From
Stalks.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Americans do not regard tho sunfcvor.
which Is said TO be ono Of our own na-
tive plants. as being Of much practical
service. but In Russia II II utilized IN
many ways.
There the seeds are eaten IN Immense
quantities. raw or roasted. as peanuts
are in America, and the oil obtained by
pressing the seeds Is an important arti-
Gle OF food. The frequent religious feast
days In Russia restrict the use OF meat
and lead to a large consumption OF vege-
table oil. and the manufacture OF sun
flower oil has consequently grown to
considerable dimensions in that coun-
try. The best seeds yield an oil that
compares favorably with olive oil for
table purposes.
Even the upper classes in Russia, Il
is said. eat the seeds. the larger and
finer ones being quite equal to most
nuts in respect OF palatability and
wholesomeness. The stalks and dried
leaves are highly priced for fuel. being
in some parts of the empire almost the
only available substitute for wood. An
acre of sunfiowers will yield many
cords OF good fuel
The oil appears to have more OF the
general properties OF olive oil than
has any other known vegetable OIL. 1t
takes about a bushel OF seeds to make
a gallon Of oil, and fifty bushels OF
seeds can be grown on one acre OF
land. AS the of. sells at about a dollar
a gallon. the profit Is large.
At one time purified sunhower oil
was used quite extensively to adulter-
ate pure olive oil 1t is Of q pale yell
lOyish color and decidedly palatable.
In a crude state II Is used by painters
to some extent. but II Is inferior to lin
seed oil for use IN paint
In addition to the oil from the seeds
the stalks when green and tho oil cake
make excellent fodder. The hber OF
the stalks. which n fine. silky and
strong, also has a value. In China IL
is woven into beautiful fabrics, and IL
Is believed that by the use Of the prop
er machinery II might be used most
profitably In this country.

anything. He win not permit more than
an hour for the most gorgeous gala din
ner. Afterward he holds what is called
in court circles a "cercle." when he talks
with most OF the guests. This took less
than half an hour, and with 1t the for
NAL celebration Of the monarch's eight
ieth birthday ended. Trains and motor
cars. mostly the latter. were busily en-
ployed during the evening In conveying
the archdukes and archduchess away
from Ischl. and today the town has its
wonted quiet aspect
One thing more deserves notice. From
the first the emperor set his face against
any elaborate birthday anniversary cele-
brations in the monarchy. He declined
to receive Populations. or addresses, or
presents. and caused II to be known that
1t was his earnest wish that all moneys
ordinarily spent for such purposes should
be devoted to works OF philanthropy.
And this most commendablo action Will
nave far-reaching results.

display has been studiously

At o'clock the emperor attended mass
in his private chapel in the villa, but be-
fore this he spent at least two hours at
his desk over affairs of state. for his
majesty is never In bed after 5, and no
summer holiday is permitted to interfere
with his daily work.
After mass he received his first birth
day visitors, by no means the least well
come For they were the children OF his
two daughters, Gisela and Marie Valerie,
and the emperor dearly loves little chill
dren. These grandchildren are his con-
slant companions during the summer at
Ischl and frequently pay him long visits
at Schonbrunn.

Amid family group OF nearly a hun

with the united. sincere and loving good

Makes Return Call

After this almost wholesale reception Of
birthday congratulations the emperor en-
joyed a short interval OF freedom, broken
only by formal return visit to his sew
enty-four imperial relatives at the Hotel
Kaiserin Elisabeth. 1t was no easy task
to provide accommodation for such a fam
lily party, and, as IL was manifestly
simpler to have them under one roof. the
emperor reserved the entire accommoda-
ton of the principal hotel in the town It
was crowded with guests at the time, but
under the circumstances they all very
good-naturedly consented 20 vacate their
rooms for q couple of days to oblige their
venerated sovereign. For this accommo-
dation the emperor will have to paw 5000
crowns a day tabout $1,000, an average
OF $23 a day per archduke or archduchess,
which doesn't seem extravagantly dear
The Hotel kaiserin Elisabeth has
sheltered many distinguished guests In
the room which the heir apparent occu-
pies at various times have slept King
Edward, the old Emperor William, the
Empress Eugenie. King Charles Of Rou-
mania and other royal visitors to Ischl
But II is certain that no hotel ever ac-
commodated on one day so many i'm
perial personages as the Kaiserin Elisa
beth does today. Truth to tell. 1t is not
a very elegant establishment. The court
officials criticised the condition of some
Of the rooms. and as the landlord de-
clared he could not afford to redecorate
them for the occasion. 1t was decided to
cover up the shabby places as far as pos
sible with palms and flowers.
Last and Greatest Function.
The last and greatest function OF the
day was the state banquet in the Kur-
saal Here nearly a hundred guests sat
down TO dinner. a number It would have
been impossible to accommodate in the
imperial villa. The emperor drove down
in a court carriage lavishly decorated
with Alpine flowers by the ladies Of
Ischl, q work which they particularly
petitioned the monarch to be allowed to
do.
Magnificent as were the preparations
for this banquet. II lasted only an hour,
neither more nor less. Francis Joseph is

try another sitting. The campaign will
be conducted by the congressional and

most part local. The muddled political
situation generally is confusing to the
leaders Of both parties. The republican
leaders In THIS state are Still inclined TO

that this Is a high protection common

Senator Scott writes that he will not be
