THE CULTIVATION OF
 THE SINGING VOICE.
tBy Dr. Edwin E. BOwers) Note: The Data For This Article Kindly Furnished by Sgnor Umberto SOrrentino, Operatic Tenor and Concert Singer

The consequence of Vocalizing eX- clusively in the upper register is g de- terioration of the quality and timbre ing the middle register causes a loss of brilliancy and extension of the up- per notes.
 The ambitious student is apt to ov- erdo vocal practice. One half hour morning and afternoon is considered quite sufficient, by the best authori- ties.
 The first requisite for accurate tone production is the "attacco'' on the na- sal cavity. Many vocal teachers and critics claim that the nasal tone-so- cal1ed-arises from faulty emission. This is not true. It is absolutely es- sentia1 for properly placing the tone 'in the masque'-bringing and keep ing it forward" It also prevents the tightness of the throat and stran- gu1ated tone which, in time, will pro- duce sub-acute 1aryngitis, and perma- nent- injury of the cords.
 Sorrentino, in order to prevent faz tigue of the vocal apparatus while speaking, and for the purpose of keep ng the voice always Ion tap,'' as it were, uses the attacco to such an ex- tent that his voice, in conversation, is exaggerated1y nasal at times. But the tone is always forward" ready for imm ediate use. and that is the de- sideratum-for a singer

THE CANDIDATES AND

 New York, Oct. 10.-Before certain tional Tube Company they employed MT. Julian Kennedy one of the great est engineers in the world, construc- tor of the Bessemer conVerters blast and open-hearth furnaces and other plants required in the steel business, to ascertain the value of the proper ties that it was proposed to combine Tube Company" MT. Kennedy made made and reported that the concerns were were promoters acquired those properties and organized the company, capital izing it at $80,00O, 900, of which they gave the firm with which MT. George partner 10000, GOO for effecting the combination and establishing the mo- nopoly. MT. Perkins has since drop ped into politics and is manager of the Bull Moose campaign.
 This company had 90 per cent. of the tube mills of the entire country earning 70 per cent. per annunn on the cost of it's properties. But it was not satisfied with such beggar1y re- turns It bought it's raw material Of the the Carnegie Company, and nov now it it re- e. solved to erect blast furnaces and roll ing mills and manufacture it's own steel bil1ets.
 That did not suit MT. Andrew Car negie, and he served notice on them that if they could make biIlets he could make tubes. That would have been competition, and it is the mis- sion of your trust to destroy compe- tition. MT. Carnegie represented to this National Tube concern that tIceir plants were antiquated, fit only for the scrap pile, and that it was his purpose to build a mill at an expendi- ture of SIP, 900. 900, at which he would make tubes at cost of $10 a ton less than the trust could make them Car negie had forced the Pennsylvania Railroad to fetch and carry for him. and he was a holy terror in the world of business when competing with a rival
 When Wall Street heard of this, word went back to buy Carnegie out at any price. They had previously added to their tube company sund1-y other. properties for the manufacture of wire. tin plates. hoops, steel bridges, and so on, and already it was a very lusty monopoly.
 But until they rid themselves of Car negie they would not have full control of the market, productive and con The matter of price was not the leading -conEderation; Carne- gie must be hired to go out of busi- ness at any cost before the American people could be made the victims of the Steel Trust.

SIR RUFUS IsAACs, 52, TODAY.
 AS A BOY RAN AWAY TO SEA

Running away to sea, and later fail ing in business, may not be the best career, yet they were incidents of the start in life of Sir Rufus Daniel Isaacs, the English Attorney General, for whom constitutional precedent was shattered last June in order to pro vide place for him in the Cabinet His prominence in the inquiry into Attorney General ever admitted to the British Cabinet, have made Sir Rufus an international figure.
 Rufus Daniel Isaacs was born in London hfty-two years ago today. His father, Joseph M.- Isaacs, was a veal thy merchant in the City of London fit of excellent educa tional facilities afforded by the University College school and institutions of learning in Brussels, Belgium, and Hanover, Germany. Firing of study he frus- trated the plans of his. parents for sending him to Cambridge by embark ing as an 4. B. on a sailing ship bound for Rio de Janiero. A life on the bounding pillows was not so plea sant he had anticipated, and the runaway was glad of opportunity to return to London and the parental roof The fatted calf was slaughtered in honor of the return of the prodigal and the youngstsr embarked on the him a memb ership in the London Stock Exchange The 'tboy broker,'' unlike the heroes of AIger and Henty was not huge success. His business bark was soon on the rocks, and at the age of twenty-five he was bank rupt and a marked failure
 Soon after the penniless youth met and fell in love with Miss Alice Edith Cohen, the daughter of an American merchant. and his affection was reel procated- She suggested the law a profession suited to his temperament. The failure" insisted that he was too old to begin the study of legal lore. but Miss Cohen insisted, and helped him with his studies In 1887 young Isaacs was admitted to the bar, and commenced a career that proves that opportunities to rise in the world are not confined to this side of the At lantic-
 The youthful barrister profited by his own unfortunate business experience, and specialized in the laws of bank ruptcy, in which he soon became known an authority. His mastery of details and figures was accounted of the young attorney to the Middle Temple he married Miss Cohen, in whom he continued to find inspiration for greater endeavor.

in placement and for increasing hex1 bility and resonance.
 Under proper instruction very or dinary voice can bs developed into a good voice, and a good voice may evolve into a wonderful voice.
 Art of Singing Never Mastered. l. The art of singing is never com pIetely mastered. The best that the sincere musuician is able to do is to approximate his ideal.
 And, like a will O the wisp, when he has overcome technical difficulties which enshrouded this ideal, and the mist and fog clear away. the elfin Sprite slkips b1ithe1y over to the foot commences.
 WorId-renowned singers, are still studying, phrasing, and vocalizing- g-in never ending experiment. And none have ever moopolized kowledge of vo- cal technique.
 Masini, Gayarre, Del-Papa, Cotogni, did not consider it beneath their dig nifty to seek advice and instruction from older maestros. This is also
  mi, Tita Ruffo, and the great stars of the opera and concert stage.
 Other things being equal-a teach CT who has been a successful orches- tral conductor has decided advan- tage over one who is merely a sing CT. He has, or should have, broad CT and more comprehensive familiar ity with and skill in nuances. phras- ing, and interpretation.
 A Little Too Much Is Just EenoIgh.
 On David Harum's principle that Ca little too much is just enough, a slightly exaggerated enunciation is desirable thing for a singer to culti- vate. It increases mobility of the lips, enhances resonance, and decreas- es that 'mouthful of mush tendency which Hamlet abjured the Players to avoid when he besought them to speak the lines trippingly, and omit the town crier style of pronounce ment.
 It is a great satisfaction to the au- dience to have some slight idea as to phrases and enunciates distinctly in English, it ie almost certain that he can make himself more clearly under stood when he essays Italian, German, Spanish or French. This, by way of encouragement to learn English-even though it may not be ''the easiest way

and the ROAD

The future of a singer lies in the hands of his teacher, who can make or mar a voice by correct or faulty methods of instruction. Therefore, the selection of master should be 2 matter of prayerful and careful con sideration.
 A goodly part of vocal technique eventuates from conscious or sub-con- scious imitation. We hear the tone, or the phrase-properly placed and sung-and we strive to reproduce it.
 Because of this, a teacher without a voice, or with disagreeab1e or un- sympathetic voice, is an absurdity. If he must teach music, let him confine himself to instrumental instruction for Nature has placed her immutabla ban upon the deep damnation of his teaching voice.
 And also it follows logically that a results-should invariably study with a teacher of similar quality of voice; baritones or contraltos with deeper voiced instructors.
 Twenty Minute Periods Not Enough
 And be it here remembered that the modern twenty minute period is q de- fusion and a snare. Deducting time for explanations, warming up,'' etc, the actual lesson is either inadequate, or insufficiently assimilated. There is no royal road to learning and in- struction to be beneficial. must be mentally F1etcherized
 The lesson should commence with pianissimo work, and gradually lead up to piano, forte, and-rarely or nev- er-fortissimo. Bear in mind that 'FUrlare, non Singing is not yelling" The effort to tear q passion to tatters" produces excessive tension upon the delicate vocal chords, and frequently results in permanent

CYNICAL RAILROAD
 OFFICIAL

Testimony was received by the in terstate commerce commission that a few days prior to the Westport catas- trophe a bulletin had been posted holding engineers responsible for late trains
 - The evidence is plentiful to show that engineers must bring their trains in, on time or suffer the penalties Of unemployment
 It is a mockery, then, for the rail reads to show a set of paper rules after each accident, with the claim that no accident would have occurr ed # these rules had been obeyed.
 The testimony shows the same cal- lous disregard of life that has always marked railroad efforts in this coun- try
 Officers of the company come for ward and say. with a sheer, that they have no confidence in longer cross overs to prevent wrecks, nor in mech anism for automatically stopping trains when signals are passed, nor in anything that would diminish the fund for the payment of dividends or water.
 
 Step by step the public has forced railroads to regard the safety of it's passengers.
 Step by step railroad officials have disputed the utility of inventions, the value of which was patent to the veriest layman.
 It is only a little time back when such men ,soIemnIy said that vesti- bqissI onetrofey- cars would bring ca tastrophe in their wake.
 And a little before this similar sen timents were uttered by railroad off cers about block signals, ard auto- rnatic couplers.

 1 Carnegie said, Every well, it is war then" and he was fixing to enter upon cutthroat competition with Morgan, l Prick, the Moores, Perkins and the | rest of them. That was ruin for some l body and Carnegie knew 1t was ruin not for him, for he proposed to pro- duce and distribute cheaper than the trust could possibly make, and sell. The trust hesitated and again enter ed upon negotiations, and the result was they gave Andrew Carnegie over $4O0, GOO 900 to convey to them his prop erty that it had been sworn in court Of justice was worth less than $76,0OO,- GOO. But he went out of the steel bus mess, and that was what they were after, a monopoly of the market Of the most extensive and psrodlgal consu11i- CTS of steel in the world. Then what did they do? They capl- talized the trust at $l,4OO, 100000, ana dends on that gigantic sum-mostIy water.
 Roosevelt says that is a good trust and it ought to be Iegal1zed, so that it may become respectable and rob the people according to law
 Taft says this robber concern must be protected in the tariff laws of the American people.
 It would have been impossible to create this monster if there had been no protective tariff. It could not ex- ist as a monopoly a single year if the protection accorded it in the tarjh were withdrawn.
 Only the other day the largest 1ndi- vidual stockhoIder in the Steel Trust invested S1, 800, 000 in a newspaper in New York in order that Col. RoOse- welt might have an organ at the me tropolis7 in this campaign, and, looked at from the vulgar, material, selfish point of View, the Steel Trust could afford to spend ten times the sum to maintain the tariff that secures it in the monopoly it enjoys
