MISS ADELINE FRANCIS.

The only woman in the world who can
sing duets with herself is Miss AIDE
line Francis. the .Graphophone Girl, at
the Garrick Theatre -goers at this popu-
lar playhouse this week are experiencing
a thrill over her unique act. Miss Fran
els carries on dialogues, sings alto and So
prano, and cracks jokes with her own
voice giving question and response This
remarkable feat is accomplished by
means of a graphophone. The pretty
and vivacious little lady playfully calls
the voice of the record sister but tor
all that it is her own voice. The reader
may not realize show difficult il is 20 be
ready on the dot with the proper reply
to the graphophone, for as much as one
seconds tardiness would upset the whole
act. This is doubly difficult when there
is an orchestra accompanying the sing
ing.
Asked today how she came 20 get such
clever act, after some questioning she
admitted it was her own idea. She is
possessed Of a peculiarly vibrant voice
with wonderfully clear enunciation. II
took two years of the hardest sort of
work in the laboratories of the Columbia
Phonograph Company to perfect the act.
The versatility of Miss Francis and
"Sster" is shown in Irish melody. negro
ditties, and popular ballads, As well as in
breezy line of talk that would &c
credit to a whole minstrel show She
has played from coast to coast in this
act. which is copyright.

The Snow Leopard Of Indie.

India has produced some OF the finest
big game hunters in the world. First
they kill deer, then tigers. and after
that they climb into the hills after the
mountain sheep, which are the most
difficult Of all their kind to follow and
kill But there is one ambition beyond
the mountain sheep. That is the snow
leopard This beautiful creature, white
as the SHOWS It lives among, is rarely
found below a height Of 1000 feet
and is even there extremely rare. 1t is
both wild and savage. and the natives
have a superstitious fear Of its white
coat and deep green eyes. The man
who succeeds in killing snow leopard
steps into the very first rank Of big
game hunters.

KEEP UP The
FIGHT FOR
MOREPARKLAND

When the members of City Council
meet as a committee of the whole to-
night, they will probably consider the
proposed plan for an exchange OF the
Walnut street wharf property with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
property Of the latter at the foot of
Spruce street, and an interesting dis
cussion is anticipated
II has been said that The railroad COM
pany leased the Spruce street ground the
same time it did the bed of Walnut
street and the wharf The lease, il Is
said, was lost as well as the record of the
deal. and that the company simply laid
title to the land, without dispute on the
part OF the city.
This phase of the matter will be gone
into. and even if it should be found that
the railroad company is really the owner
of the ground, at least one, and perhaps
several members of Council will refuse
to vote for the exchange unless the Chris
tiana Park, at Church street. is thrown
in.
