POnderOus PersOnages By GEORGE FIN CHI,
JENNY LIND Author Of AT Good Old Siwash'

x YESTERDAY was the birthday of
Jenny Lind, who was a famous
- singer 80 years ago and IS still
remembered-som that has seldom
happened to great singers after they
have died and their press agents have
folded up their typewTIters.
Jenny Lind was born IN Stockholm,
Sweden. October 6, 1920, and began to
sing almost Immediately. She was a
beautiful girl, with a voice winch made
even loan sharks soft and sentimental
when they heard it, and at 80 she was
the most famous singer IN Europe
About this time P I. Barnum, having
tired of elephants temporarily, decided
to educate America in music, and he
imported Jenny Lind at vast expense,
to sing in this country. M Barnum
made a great many tlatterlng remarks
about the Young lady IN the newspapers
on the billboards. on the sidewalk and
street cars and blank walls and church
steeples and tree trunks and delivery
wagons and mountain sides and else
where. and as a result, she was met at
the dock by almost all OF New York
City. Her first concert was IN Castle
Garden and at its close she could have
been elected mavOr. That she wasn't,
has always continued to be one or New
YOrk's greatest misfOrtunes.
Jenny Lind afterward sang through
the entire country and became a great
favorite. but unfortunately she was too
ignorant of modern methods to utilize
her popularity. She did not demand
new contract with tripled prices and
overtime for eneores. and she did not
refuse to come on the stage at night
until a purple carpet could be spread
through the wings. She did not insist
on special trains and individual hotels,
and she did not have mysteries and re-
fuse to stir one step when anything hap
pened to the 10 dogs, four tigers and
two pet snakes which she didn't carry
with her. She did not decline to sing
unless all other singers were removed
from the vicinity. and she did not have
her photograph taken in 1000 COS

RURALES KILLED
BY REBEL BAND

Mexico City, Mex. Oct Word is
received here of the humiliation of
detachment of rural guards and i'll
treatment of a number of women and
children in a fight with Zapatista reb-
els near Sultepec.
The survivors of the detachment,
three men and a woman, struggled into
TOluca Sunday.
They said a detachment of so rurales,
with a number of women and children,
stationed on a hill near Sultepec, was
surprised by rebels.
A battle lasting three hours was
fought
1t seemed as if the rurales might be
victorious, when their ammunition gave
cut.
The slaughter then began. The men
were killed and atrocities were prac-
ticed upon the women and children.
The survivors reported the body OF
Maj. Flores, of the rurales, was first
chopped to pieces.

Monday. There was no fight but the
delegation was ready for one If the
Colorado crowd had been looking for
anything. The people from all parts
of the country knew FL Paso and her
fighting spirit and they were with US
from the start. 1t is a great bit of
advertising that Ell PasO gets from
these trips, and a delegation should
be sent to each meeting, wherever
