ANAsTAsIA IS aYPsY QgEEN
Ghe Has Just Turned Twenty and ls
se71ty Of the First
Water.

Nkolai, the Gypsy king is dead
and his queen, Anastasia, relgns ID his
place ia the world that amusea itself
says a ST. Petersburg correspondent
For thirty years Nikolai was the hero
Of the variety and concert stage, OF
after dinner entertainments and pri-
yate cabaret shows He was a com.
poser as well as q singer, vlrtuoso
on the guitar and a graceful dancer
His troupe usually consisted Of thirty
10 forty Gypsies, whose gorgeous cos
tunes were the delight Of st. Peters
burg. He himself was always dressed
IN red SILK with plenty Of gold lace
HIS breast covered with medals. coins
and decorations. He wore a sword and
a sabretasche and IN the latter he
stuffed the paper money, gold and Sill
yer thrown at him during his perform
ances.
The Russian Gypsy has a musical
field Of his own He doesn't use the
fiddle, but he plays the guitar and
sings better than any troubadour Of
old.
Anastasia was his third or fourth
queen She has just turned twenty
and Is a full-hedged Gypsy. She Is a
beauty Of the first water All st.
Petersburg calls her diva OF queen,
but since she attained popularity and
wealth she has never appeared in the
national costume. The latest from
Paris Is hardly good enough for her
She has a high pitched mezzo soprano
voice and makes her hearers laugh
and cry at will
And she sits there blazing with dia-
mondH from the buckles OF her satin
slippers 10 the top Of her head, hun
dred ruble notes, silver, gold and cop
per fly about her from boxes, stalls
and galleries. These volunteer contri-
buttons she calls her taxes" AT the
end Of her act her majesty collects
them with a broom and woe to the
Gypsy who dares sneak a single ko-
peck, for Anastasia has the eye Of an
eagle and is as suspicious as Turk.

Nordica at Lexington.

One of the worlds greatest singer
Nine. Lillian Nordica, queen of the
operate estage and the greatest Wag-
merriam singer in the world. will appear
at the Lexington Opera House, in con-
cert on Monday April 15, 1912.
Lillian Nordica hes place all her
own IN the hearts of American public
and she has even succeeded in conquer
ing the narrcwness and predjucIes of
the Eurpean capital. for there as here,
she has been claimed as one of the
worlds greatest singers.
1t can be indisputably said that
Nordica is the most popular of all pri-
ma donnas. To the student of music
her singing is ever an inspiration,
while to the causal music lover and
general public it is an unfailing source
of delight.
In days to come, never to have heard
Nordica will be considered as great a
loss of opportunity as it is looked upon
in this generation never 10 have heard

President Taft's Veto.

When woman purchases $40 worth
of woolen dress goods, 81 81 of that
$40 represents the value of the goods
and the remaining S.. 13 of the $40 the
amount Of the tariff. In ether words,
should the purchase be made in Eng
lard, where there is no tariff on
woolens, the woman would receive the
same amount and quality of dress
goods fer $4.87 that she pays $40 for
in this country.
This is because of the Payne Aldrich
ad valorem tariff rate of los per cent.
When the Democrats came into power
ia the House of Representatives they
framed bill which would reduce the
tax on woclens nearly 40 per cent. The
Senate passed similar bill. President
Taft vetoed the bill, which prevented
cheaper and better woolens to the
American consumers. The Democratic
majority of the House now presents
the bill again.
President Taft will have less excuse
to veto the bill than before. He de-
clared on the first occasion that a
certain tariff board had not made it's
report, and that to permit a reduction
of the duties might make it impossible
for the wooden manufacturers to pro
tect" their working men.
The tariff board report justifes a
downward revision of the wooden
schedule. Then since the president
vetoed the wool bill there has been a
strike of the textile workers at Law
renee, Mass which has revealed be-
yond arguments and beyond contra
dictions that the wooden trust mag
mates have been fooling and cheating
the public all the time. The strike
of the Sc. ST., and So a week men,
women and children in the wooden
mills brought to light the fact that
while the mill owners have beer de-
claring they were protecting" the ir
workers with fair wages and decent
working conditions, they nave been
paying them starvation wages and
treating them almost Ike animals.
The last leg has been knocked from
under the wool tax argument, land
President Taft has no excuse left to
explain veto of the Democratic
downward revision wool bill, .. The
President vetoed the first wool bill not
for the welfare of either Consumers or
WOODEN mill workers, but at the behest
of the millionaire wooden trust owners
who contributed to his campaign fund.
If he vetoes the newly introduced wool
bill it will be for the same reason, and
the people will so understand it.

WILL IMPROVE
ITS TRACK EXTENSIVELY
Throughout Entire Line From Savannah to Montgom
ery-W Make Roadbed Modern

In Americas, as throughout this
territory traversed by the Seaboard
Railway, there is interest manifested
in the substantial Improvements and
betterments soon to be made over the
entire Lewiston from Montgomery to
Savannah, $40 miles, and upon the
Columbus and Abbeville branch lines
of this great system.
The roadbed is to be ballasted to a
great extent, new ties put down,
heavier rails laid and all drawbridges
over rivers replaced with new and
stronger structures. The road, it is
understood, will be largely rebuilt, to
such great extent will the betterments
be made and much money will be ex-
pended this year by the Seaboard Rail-
way in making its roadbed safer and
stronger for the increased traffic that
is being given it.
Forty miles of new steel rail, sew
enty-t1ve pounds weight per yard, viii
be put down between Americas and
Savannah, where twenty miles of new
rail has been laid recently giving a
stretch of sixty miles. To this will be
added forty miles additional rail later,
or total of one hundred miles. Grad
ually all of the rail now in service
will be replaced with the heavier Is
lb. rail which will permit heavier and
faster schedules, if desired.
New drawbridges will be built owe
the Flint, Occulgee, Oconee and Chat
tahOochee rivers replacing those now
in use. The three latter streams arr
navigable, and boats plying on then
require the use of drawbridges, espec
tally the Chattahoochee. The ballast
ing of the roadbed with gravel will BE-
vast improvement. This material
the best known for ballasting roadbed
will be secured in Alabama grave
pits. Three trains will be employed il
distributing gravel along the roadway
141 miles between Montgomery anC
Americas.
AS rapidly as possible the work Of
ballasting will be pushed eastward
| toward Savannah, until a solid road
bed is secured along the entire dis
lance of $40 miles. Already two
trains are being gotten ready to dis
tribute new crossties on this division
& total of five trains to be used il,
improvement work. This will include
