President Harahan admitted that the
new management of the Seaboard was
planning extensive Improvements for
the road but declined to state specifi-

she sacrificed domestic happiness?"
1t became known that short time
ago she rejected an offer of about $125,-
600 for 40-week season in comic opera.
Those who claim to be conversant with
the facts say that she was indignant
that such an offer should be made. She
made it very clear at the time that her
ideal was the regular grand opera
course.
But" friends asked in astonishment,
as they fingered the newly issued pros

There is no answer, officially. Her
admirers may still have an opportunity
to hear her in New York this season. 1t

concert work during the winter, with
occasional appearances at popular
opera performances" in the Metropoli.

Chinese Gods.

The Pekin Gazette publicly commends
and compliments the state gods when the
sovereign or regent is satisfied that they
have done their full duty toward China
r3en. When some particular god distin-
guishes himself by an extraordinary
service his rank among the gods is
raised by imperial command.
Once the God of War was increased
in importance by reason OF the great
armaments which the government un-
dertook to support, and after he had
shown his benevolenCe by allowing the
imperial troops to defeat a body of
rebels he was metaphorically patted on
the back and raised to the same rank
as ConfuCius, who had hitherto held
tie first place in the state Pantheon.
The following is an interesting an

To BUYERS of Photos.

Some weeks ago l made photos alb
solutely free of charge on certain
days. l did this in order that people
might have the opportunity to see
where l am located and inspect the
latest styles in photographs as my
display cases at the foot of the stairs
do not permit me to show my best
work.
| am not able to be at the studio all
OF the time, but have good competent
help there all the time and l will
guarantee you will be given the best
of service l do not allow any work
to leave the studio without my per-
sonal inspection, so you can rely on
all work being done first class and
promptly at very moderate prices. l
do not cut prices as my prices are
with such small margin in the first
place. If l feel that l want to work
for nothing l make no charge but
simply make you present. If any
one appreciates this l expect they will
come again and send their friends
also, and they will receive the best
of photos and get reasonable prices.
