these were few of the great operate
singers that were introduced to the
American public by the most famous
impresariO of his day, the late Col.
j. H. Mapleson, who brought Italian
opera to New York in 1877 and for
number of years thereafter was the
chief figure in the production of grand
opera in the new world.
When Col. Mapleson, who remained
an Englishman to the day of his death
in 1901. made his last business trip
to this side, | renewed my acquaint-
ance with him, and in the course of
our conversation | mentioned the
name of Cavalazzi. The colonel smiled
reminiscently and said

papers gave considerable space to it.

Stranger Recalls Favor of Years Gone
and 1t Costs Newspaper Man
Another Coin.

A plainly dressed stranger made his
way into local newspaper Office and
inquired for Elmer Bates. A moment
later he strolled over to the desk
where Elmer sat pounding out some
copy, and inquired:
"D'you used to live down at the old
Kennard house?"
YES" replied Elmer, "but I'm aw-
full busy right now. Some other time

Due Precautions.

In a town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge Of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived it to be place where, If
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, IN
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close of the open-air service one
Of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
Il don't suppose that you knew that
the editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
81 reckon 1 knew it well, for I'd
been told Of it." said the preacher,
calmly 81 don't believe he's as bad
as he might be, and anyway, l put my
coat on the chair close by and had it
right under my eye all the time.

For two or three seasons after this

New York for short operate season

lemma, l was actually obliged bur-
riedly to ask her to resume ner ola
position in my company. She sent
back word that she would meet me In
the railway station. as we were on
our way tc Boston.

Ludicrous Little Hop-Step of Lord
Dundreary Was the Result of
the Actors Tripping Once
at His Entrance.

A few years before his death, which
occurred in 1880, it fell to my lot to
call on John Brougham. the Irish
actor and playwright. whose London
Assurance" written in collaboration
with Dion Boucicault, and other plays
of rather light character greatly
amused American theater-goers du-
ring the decade that preceded the
outbreak of the civil war
The actor who is successful" said
Mr.. Brougham, at one point in our
conversation, passes through some
very strange and unusual experiences
In this connection, l may say that it
frequently happens that the most
carefully thought out business is
found to be an utter failure with the
public, while, on the other hand,
some unexpected or chance action
some trif1ing thing that accidentally
happens-is accepted by the public
as part of the business and is re-
ceived with such applause that it is
spoken of as one of the hits of the
play. / could tell you Of half dozen

the point am making is to be found
in little adventure that befell e. H.

gan to play the part of Lord Dun

Have you ever seen Ned Sothern
in the part that made him famous
and that in spite of the fact that, as
originally intended, Lord Dundreary
was to be a minor character in the
play kind Of walking gentleman
part? Then you will doubtless recall
that Lord Dundreary, moment or
two after he enters the drawing
room, makes a little hop-step, as
though he were trying to catch step
with some one. It has always been an
excruciatingly funny piece of bust
ness it looks so ridiculous to see a

Their Last Hope Gone.

When the minister praised the rasp-
berry jam at Mrs. Green's bountiful
Saturday night. supper, he could not
imagine why Angie and Horatio the
twins, gazed at him so reproachfully.
Don't you like raspberry jam, my lit
tie MANI" he asked Horatio
Eyes, sir, do and Angie does, -
said Horatio, in distinctly resentful
tones, 'and mother told us that she
was afraid the last she made wasn't
quite up to the mark, and If you didn't
praise it, Angie and l could have it for
luncheon on our bread, for Mrs. Willis
and Mrs. Shedd never said a word
when they ate it, and you've made the
third. but now she'll use it for the
church sociables," and Horatio looked
g1oomily at his twin, who returned the
look in kind.-Youth's Companion.

Accident That Aided .Sothern

around a drawing room, as though ne
were trying to keep step with an in
visible person. 1t has never failed
to convulse the house. Yet, l have it
on the authority of Sothern himself
that Lord Dundreary's funny little
skip resulted from an accident pure
and simple
1T seems that some months after
Sothern had created the part-the
play was first produced in 1858 by
Laura Keene-he was making his en-
trance upon the stage in the first
scene of the play when he tripped at
the entrance. In order to recover
himself he took hop-step, almost in
voluntarily, il the presence Of the
house. Instantly, the audience giggled,
and locating the cause of the merri-
ment with equal quickness, Sothern
said to himself: I will do the same
thing purposely in moment and see
approached the chair of Lady Mount
Chessington, he took another little
hop-step, and the house was so con-
vulsed with laughter that he had to
wait for the merriment to die down
before beginning his lines. That was
enough-he knew for certainty that
he had accidentally discovered a hit,
and from that time forth the hop-step
became one of the permanent features
of Sothern's acting as Lord Dun
dreary, part that he would not con-
sent to take from Miss Kcene until
he had received her permission to let
him do with it what he wanted to-.
For, when he was offered the part
Joe Jefferson had already accepted
the part of the American cousin
Sothern saw in 1t an opportunity to
satirize in a kindly manner a certain
type Of the English nobility. He
wanted to be free to do this satiriz-
ing as he thought best, but though
he patterned his lisp and drawl on
those of a certain nobleman he knew,
he had never a thought Of giving
Lord Dundreary that corlical hop
step of his until the step itself came
into the part quite accidentally"

Leader Foretold OlUn Future

object of his mission was his cousin;
the other was Mr.. r. 3. Donaughey,
now a resident of Wilmington, Del.
Il had gone to meet the young man
at his cousins suggestion" said Mr..
Donaughey, land though l was then a
travelling man and not particularly in
terested in matters pertaining to la
Dor, l became so impressed with my
new acquaintance's mental alertness
and his presence that when he told
us of the object of his trip l decided
to attend the meeting of the cigar
makers of the city, which. learned,
was to be held in the towns old skat-
ing rink.
LAS l now remember, about five hun.
dred persons were present at that
meeting. The principal speaker
may say the sole speaker-of the even
ing was the young man in question.
He had hardly got well started in
what he had to say when it became
plain to me that, without recourse to
ANA ~ OAcSOiJ, vi 1hy VI AbO hOSC0oOA-
les, he had managed to get the entire
audience absolutely under his control.
This was all the more astonishing as
the fact dawned upon me that the
speaker appeared to be without any
great amount of self confidence. Yet
he was earnest and apparently sin
cere, and his enthusiasm in the cause
he was pleading was catching, so that
when he declared to the cigar makers
that it was absolutely essential to
their well being that they organize a
local union, a ready assent was given
anu an organization was perfected
then and there.
after the meeting was over hunted
up my new acquaintance to congratu-
late him on this successful outcome of
his trip to South Bend. He received
what / had to say with becoming mod
esty, and then, in the same spirit,
made a confession to me-
my life's work has now begun he
said. AS part of this work | am
establishing union of cigar makers
in each of the principal cities of In.
diana But all this is only incidental
to my greater project. / predict that
some day shall be able to form a fed.
Grafton of all the labor organizations
Of the United States, and that of that
federation l shall one day be presi
dent. l would much rather be presi-
dent of an organization of the sort
l have in mind than president of the
United States, even did not my for
eign birth make that prohibitive. l
would rather perfect federation of
American labor, SO that American
wage earners may have an organiza-
ton by which they can adequately
protect themselves and secure their
fair share Of the prosperity of the
country, than to WELD the scepter of
the world g most powerful potentate.
And l repeat to you that 1 am ah-
solutely certain that 1 shall be able
to perfect such an organization, and
shall serve as its president"
"The name Of the young man who so
boldly and yet, in all modesty, prophe-
sled his future with the accuracy of
one inspired was Samuel Gompers. !"
concluded Mr.. Donaughey.
