Things did not 20 very well with Earl
Grey's government after the second
reading of the first reformed bill had
been carried by a majority of one in
1881. and one Friday in April they
suddenly got the king to go down and
prorogue parliament in person. Some
body went off to the Tower to fetch the
crown. and with a scratch body of at
tendants his majesty drove down to
the house of lords. What happened
there is described in Greville's mem

When Sonora Josefina Ferrada ar

MADAME CALVE is ILL;
BLAMES CHICAGO'S AIR

St. Louis, Nov. 18.-Mme. Emma
Calve, the prima donna, whose Car
men has enthralled three continents,
may never have the full use of her
voice again. The celebrated diva was
forced to cancel her engagement here
last night at nearly the last moment
and is confined to her room at the JEFF
fsrson hotel. A congestion of the lar
nyx, which keeps her from speaking
above a whisper. became more pro-
nounced late in the evening.
Preston Walsh, her manager,
blames Chicago atmospheric condi-
tons for her throat malady. This was
augmented when she drove to Valley
park after arriving in st. Louis. The
evening spent in the open aggravated
the severe cold Nine. Calve caught in
Chicago.
Dr. Greenfield Sluder and DR.. Oliver
R. Campbell was called Immediately.
They exhausted every means to bring
back the diva's voice. After four hours
of spraying her condition was worse
than it had been at the start.
81 hope Nine Calve will recover, y
DR.. Campbell said. This probably is
nothing but a violent cold, which will
pass away eventually, but it may be
some time before she can sing again
even under the best conditions"
There is something in Chicago that
hurts our voices" said NJ. Renaud, a
tenor who is in the Calve party. 1T is
the smoke and something else. St
Louis is bad with its smoke, but il
was worse in Chicago. Nine. Calve
complained all the time she was

Serving Soup.


If anybody were asked TO suggest
why the soup plate was made broad
and shallow the almost certain answer
would be that such an arrangement
facilitates the cooling of the soup to a
temperature comfortable TO the mouth
We believe that utilttarians drink tea
out of saucer for the same reason.
While that may be the explanation Of
the peculiar shape of the soup plate,
the advantage indicated is surely in
significant compared with the obvious
disadvantages which may probably
arise from exposing so large a surface
of nutrient fluid to the air. Soup
should be served in cup, low broad
teacup. and the method, which is be-
coming more usual. is hygienic. Too
deep a vessel would be an error on the
other side. Its advantages would be

NATIONWIDE TRIBUTE TO
MEMORY OF NAMES DEAD
Suggestion That All Work Should
Halt at Time Of Burial
Finds Favor.

A suggestion, which has been received
with much favor. has been made that the
entire nation join in paying tribute to the
martyred sailors of the L. S. S. Maine.
The President has invited Congress to
participate in a memorial service, to be
held next Saturday, in honor of the men
who lost their lives in the wreck of the
Maine, and today's suggestion is that if
the entire nation were to join in the
thought and spirit which will attend that
occasion it would be fitting tribute to
those whose lives were taken while they
were asserting the honor of our country
The originator of the idea said:
Let time be named-say 4:3O-When
the mortal remains of these heroes are
to be consigned to American soil, at
which work of all kinds should be tenn
porarily suspended, while at least a few
moments are devoted by the individual
TO the silent, reverent contemplation of
the history so darkly associated with the
wrecking of the L. S. S. Maine and of
the lives that were given and taken in
consequence thereof 1t is but Just that
this countrywide tribute of uncovered
head and silent thought be rendered our
honored dead, and its observance will do
us good

HITS AT 0LD-T|ME CUSTOM
Senator Lea Insists That
Building Bills Shall Pass on
Their Merits Alone.

Senator Luke Lea's attempt to upset
the public building pork barrel will
probably precipitate lively fight in the
Senate this afternoon.
Senator Kenyon joined Senator Lea in
his opposition to public building bills
yesterday afternoon by giving notice of
a motion to reconsider the vote by which
the bill providing for a public building
in st. George, Utah. passed the Senate
Saturday. Senator Lea has already taken
that action regarding three bills for pub
lie buildings in Wyoming. Objection is
made to the erection of costly and elab-
crate post Office buildings In small towns.
Efforts are being made to have Senator
Lea withdraw his notice and not make
any fight But Senator Lea is obdurate,
even in the face of the hints of Ostracsm.
He is not in accord with the practice of
senator's not interfering with each other S
public buildings bills and insists that each
bill should be considered on its own
merits.
Senator Lea has received assurances of
support from several senators, and they
can certainly make it quite unpleasant
for some of the older senators who have
been in accord with the long-established
custom even if they do not carry their
point at this time.

NORFOLK, March 2O.-The body of an
unidentified man was found in the river

a case of murder. The rope had apparent

1t was first announced that the body
was that of William II. Land, former

to be incorrect.

New York. and Albert S. Levine COT
fyn's press representative, were
hurled from one OF the water depart

OF Central Park this morning after it
had skidded and crashed into a bridge.
Coffyn was stunned and it was at
first thought that his skull was frac-

no bones were broken, and he was not
seriously hurt. Harvey sustained a
broken rib and a broken arm; Levine
was little injured.
The slippery condition of the road
caused the chauffeur to lose control of
the machine. All three were taken to
