ger, Waited Long for Free
dom, She Says,

NEW YORK, June 23.-Mme. Marie
Rappold, Of the Metropolitan Opera
Company. has told the story of her
romance which is to eliminate in her
marriage this week to Rudolph Ber-
ger, the tenor.
She discussed the wedding prepa-
rations and told of the great happi-
ness which had come to her after
eight years of waiting to gain her
freedom and the right to marry the
man who had won her heart.
The wedding will take place at
Long Branch, N. J., in the home of a
friend Of the prima donna 1t was to
have taken place last week, but Mr.
Berger was commanded by the Kali
ser to remain in Germany during the
fest performances.
Long, Weary, Hard Wait"
No one but the Kaiser could have
prevailed upon my f1ance to postpone
our wedding any longer" said Nine.
Rappold as she smiled.
TT has been a long, weary, hard
walt, and never a moment has our
love wavered," added the beautiful
singer, who recently obtained a West
ern divorce from DR.. julius Rappold.
In fact, the five weeks we spent to-
gether abroad two months ago were
the happiest of my life, and we both
felt that we deserved our complete
happiness, which, after ALL is in
marriage. 1t surely has been a ro-
nance stranger than fiction in many
ways
Eight years ago I signed a con-
tract with Mr.. Conried, who felt that
he had found in me a great Wag-
merriam singer. | went at his advice
TO Bayreuth to study German opera.

found our lives uncOngenial and my
life was empty, save in the love o.

Il soon found that while Mr.. Berger
was known as a baritone, his voice
really was tenor He took my advice
and came to New York in 1906, spent

teacher, Oscar Sanger, and developed,

greatest Wagnerian tenor in the
world"

A Women Want to
Clean Phila. Streets

PHILADELPHIA, June 23-Forty-
four women took the Civil Service
tests in this city for street cleaning
inspectors. They toiled all morning
on five hundred word treatises show
ing how they would clean the streets
of the municipality and what they
thought was the most needed thing
to improve the condition of the
streets.
They were required among other
things TO describe the most approved
apparatus for the cleaning of the
streets. They were asked the differ
ence between some of the various
kinds of machines, their purposes and
the practical operation, the relation of
the street cleaner to the community,
the reasons for the excessive litter in
certain sections and the value of
moral suasion when applied in the
proper places.

Representative Crawford Wheatley,
of Sumter will introduce his famous
lieutenant governor bill again at the
forthcoming session Of the Legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Wheatley has been an enthusi-
astic advocate Of creation of this
ONCE for many years and while a
member of the Senate he succeeded
in passing through that body. almost
unanimously, a bill making ii part OF
the Constitution.
The measure was killed in the
House, however, and while attempts
have been made since then TO enact
the suggestion into law, they have
not succeeded.
The gentleman from Sumter, who is
sure TO be one Of the most popular
men IN the General Assembly, is very
hopeful that this time his pet meas
ure may become a law.
One step toward commission form
of government for the city of Green's
boro has been made by the publlea-
ltion of notice to the effect that at
the next session of the General AS
sembly a bill will be introduced
which will allow the City Council of
Greensboro to elect a secretary and
treasurer from any citizen who Is
eligible to act as an alderman
The notice is published under the
signature of H. M Spinks, City Clerk
of Greensboro, and 1t is thought that
the bill will be introduced In the
lower branch of the Legislature by
Hon, w, p McWherter, Greene's Rep
resentative.
Much trouble has been experienced
by the i'city fathers" of Greensboro
in the past in securing one of their
own number to act as secretary and
treasurer, and It is thought that the
proposed change will remedy to a
great extent some OF the cumbersome
methods Of the city government.
The new Commissioner OF Agri-
culture, James D. Price, of oconee, got
in to-day, and has been as busy as
he could be shaking hands and re-
ceiving congratulations.
Mr.. Price is just up from a sick
bed but doesn't look the part. Bv-
erybody likes him, and everybody
gives him the glad hand.
He is a practical farmer, knows
his way about politically, and the
general prediction is that he is sure
to make good on his new job.
He expects to be commissioned
next Monday, and will present him
self at the Executive Department
bright and early to receive from the
hands Of Governor Slaton his warrant
| TO do business. .....
He likely will be the first new State
J House officer to be commissioned.

20 feet. An average OF half a dozen
cots will be placed in each tent. We
have arranged a perfect sanitary sys-
TEN. There will be running hot and
cold water in each tent, and plenty
of ice water
we will have a community library
and will of course, take the daily pa
peTs. We will have telephones, too
In short, we will have all the conven-
fences of the city together with the
comforts and beauties of the country.
Our camp site is a cool and beautiful
place. free from swamps and malaria
and mosquitoes, and we intend to
keep it so clean there will be no
flies.
We will have a man cook and a
matron. I myself will be in charge
of the camp, and | intend to see that
IT is very home like and Just as at
tracttve as IT can possibly be. We will
have an acetylene gas system and
shower baths.
Careful contracting and financing
has made it possible for US to have
this outing at 80 cents a day. That's
the total cost, and I'd like to know
where there is a health resort or
summer hotel where you can live as
we will live for this price
Some of the girls are accustomed
to go to New York during their va
cations. The fare to New York and
back is $4S.40. The fare to our camp
will be fifteen cents, five cents for
the car ride and ten cents for an au-
tomObile bus to the camp, or thirty
cents for the round trip. As compar-
ed with the New York trip we will
save S4S1O on fare alone, to say moth
ing Of other expenses. Besides we
will have a cooler, healthier and nicer
time at the camp.
Night Trips For Workers.
Some few of the girls have already
taken their vacations. We have ar
ranged for these girls to go to the
camp every night, If they want to.
They will leave the office at $50
o'clock and get back at $50 o'clock
the next morning. The trip, including
their supper and breakfast, will cost
fifty cents"
An idea of the thoroughness of the
arrangements for the outing may be
gained from the fact that the girls
have already contracted for their
country produce. Farms adjacent to
their camp viii provide chickens, eggs,
butter, milk, vegetables and fruits.
At least once a week an old time
barbecue will be served.
Unlimited diversion will be obtain
able. The Jackson farm has a mag
nificent concrete swimming pool, fiil-
ed with water from the springs, and
the girls have been rendered free use
Of il. A string band has been engage
ed to make music every night. Wis
itOrs, either men or women, will be
received until reasonable hour each
night. The camp will accommodate
fifty girls day, and the girls unite
in saying they will tax it's capacity
for the whole three months.

All day long the Kimball House
lobby has been alive with statesmen,

Most of them are optimistic with

Not only is the city nlling up rap

more or less subdued obseurity, also

wise to what Is what and who is who.
On all sides one hears good words
and kind with respect to the incom-

administration are on everybody

John NJ. Siaton, for the first time
sixteen years, is not member Of the
Legislature, and while he has been
promoted 10 be the head Of the entire
State for a season, he knows pFacti-

to wish him mighty well.
Scores of new members have called
on the new Governor to-day TO pay
their respects.
Tonight the Legislature will be all
but unanimously on hand and ready

Despite the claims and counter
claims Of the two leading candidates

Both Senator Allen and Senator

Washington. Feb. 11.-Opponents of the plan for federal control. sqpervis ion and taxation of water power grant g opened their attack on the Connecti- cut River dam bill in the senate today with assertions that the government has no rights in the waters of local streams under which it can grant priv ileges or exact returns from water power companies.

There was quite number from nere at Hartford on Tuesday interested in the caucus of the New London county democratic representatives and sena : tors for the purpose of selecting a candidate for County Commissioners. All were present except Senator Min CT. As told elsewhere A. H. Lamph re of Waterford was made the nominee of the caucus after several bal. pts. Should MT. Lamphere get the posit on the eighteenth or shoestring sena :, r. the board of commissioners, and inc nineteenth none.
 pr. w. c. Mclaughlin of this city was one of the candidates and he was beaten by small majority chiefly through the failure of the Norwich representatives to support him.

MIL LWAUKEE'S Ex-MAfOR SPOKE
Emil Seide Told of Socialist Administration Econo my and Efficiency in City Departments ts-Chid Welfare He Tells What Defeated Him For Reelection-T. A B. Hall Filled to Hear Him.

EE- Mayor Emil SeideI of Milwaukee addressed an audience of socialists, near-socialists and others, including several women, which filed T. A. B. hall quite to it's limit Tuesday even ing, speaking on work accom- p1ished by the soeialistic element in Milwaukee. Albert Boardrnan made a brief address and introduced the speaker of the evening.
 When the socialistic agitation first appetred in Milwaukee, said MT. Sci del, we did not address gatherings of this size. but the time is coming when the socialist gatherings will far exceed those of today in this city, in sMilwau- kee, and in all the cities, for there are powers outside the party which are helping us which are making social ists every day. There is a force work ing for socialism in capital, and even in Wall street.
 Did Not ain Entire Control.
 The socialists did not gain entire control in Milwaukee a number of the departments not being in socialist hands. We controlled the ojces entail ing about one-half of the city'S ex- Milwaukee needed was a business ad- ministration. That is old chestnut everywhere; you have probably heard il here. When we went into office in Milwaukee we found that the city had never had a business administration. I do not wish to offend any of you but I do not believe that you people of Norwich have a business administra- ton of the city's affairs
 Economy and Efficiency.
 We began by reorganizing our de- partments. This cannot be done at once. The work of perfecting a city government requires constant and con- tinued effort, as there must be con- tinua1 advance in methods and systems as there is in other fields of effort We <~f ,r, A efficiency. The first purpose of this was to assist the other departments to the best methods, and processes and the highest efficiency. Your city and your people do not know what is the efficiency of it's departments. The not know, the city officials do not know. You have no efficiency stand ards. You cannot measure the eff ciency of your construction work, ing, educational and health depart ments. Monthly reports for the public, with itemized accounts of work done, would show the people just what each administration had done. With sys- tenn of reports you can compare the work of the various administrations and see for yourself.
 Business Man Not Wanted.
 We do net need a business man to run our city. we need to get rid of him. The business men in the city govern ment are theref or a purpose When they get what they want they are through with the affairs of the city. The sooner we get over the cry for business men in city affairs the better off we'll be. A change from one form of government to another does not change the efficiency of the govern ment: it may not even change the per sonnel of the government The pub lie depends upon the press for in forma tion and the press is controlled by big business; it is virtually owned Dy it's advertisers. The only way the public can get an accurate report of
