Hose / was called out at 6 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon by a slight fire
under a piazza at the new residesce
of w. r. Partridge, Is Sewall street,
but which, had it not been for its
timely discovery, might have proved
to be serious, The blaze had its origin
in some oYeralls which some painters
working on the house had on quitting
work earlier in the afternoon rolled
up and placed uader the piazza, and
while the cause Is unknown It is
thought possibly to have been due
to pipe having been left in some
of the garments. People about the
house got after the fire with garden
hose and as the firemen arrived had
killed out the last few sparks. so that
the services of the boys were not
needed. In appreciation of their
prompt response, however, Mr.. Part
ridge sent them last evening box of
cigars, for which they return thanks.

Boston Grande Opera Singers.

Local music lovers will undoubtedly
be interested in the aggregation of
Boston Grand Opera Singers which
will pay another visit to this city at
the Opera House on Thursday evening,
June 4th. The company appeared in
Salem Thursday, April 2, under the
auspices of the Y. M. c. A. to an au-

hall, and many were forced to stand
The critic said: HSalem should rise
up and extend its sincere thanks to
the Y. NJ. C. A, which through its

Great" with a capital G. Perhaps
this is a needless adjective, for if
they were not great in the common
use of the term. these artists would
not have attained the high eminenee
which they have in the operate field.
All are graduates of the big opera
houses here and abroad. But aside
from what the real critics might say
in classification, the lay mind, at least,
would place each and every one of
these artists of last night on or near
the tip of the lyrical pinnacle.
The artists who took part and will
be heard here, We're Nine. Maria Di-
gabbi, the brilliant dramatic soprano
of the last tour, NJ. Giovanni Gatti,
the tenor of the last tour, Mile. Err
nestine Gauthier, prima donna con-
tralto, NJ. Nikola Oulukonoff, Russian
baritone, Edgar Littleton, the Ameri-
cas- basso, NJ. Luigi Mainiero, the ten
or, and Maestro George Hirst, assist
ant conductor of the Boston Opera
Company.
in addition there will be present
here small ballet of beautiful solo
dancers from the Boston Opera House
who will contribute a delightful dane
ing number The dancers make three
changes of costumes, each more gor-
geous than the preceding, and furnish
what in itself would be a satisfying
evenings entertainment.
1t has been the aim of the manage
ment to make this tour the greatest
ever undertaken through New Eng
land, and that this aim has been ac-
complished is amply proven by the
success achieved in cities already Wis
tied. Prices, soc, 75c. s100 and $50.

ago she had the misfortune to fall
and fracture one hip from which she
never fully recovered, being obliged
to move about on crutches. But in
spite of her sufferings she never COM

characteristic of her. Always thought
full of others, she was ever trying to
do something that would bring to
someone happiness She was never

had recently done was to complete
four braided rugs.
At the time of her death she was

CARNEGIE LAUDS
WILSON s VIEW !
On MEXICO
Favors "Hands Of" PoIicy-De-
cIares Tariff Has Had Nothing
to Do With Depression,

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-That the
United States is entering on a new
era of prosperity that the tariff had
nothing to do with the period of bust
ness depression the country has az
perienced. and that he is in accord
with President Wilson's policy in the
Mexican situation are the high spots
in an interview given to-day by An
drew Carnegie.
You must remember" he said,
that no country travels ahead at a
uniform pace. Every nation must
have its period of activity and times
when commerce moves at slow
pace
Il do not believe the new tariff
has had anything to do with the bust
ness depression. / believe that in time
the reduction Of the tariff will work a
benefit for the American exporter.
Il wish we never had anything 10
do with Mexico he continued. But
while there is life there is hope. We
should not interfere with the Mexican
people in their choice for President.
Hands off is my idea.
Experience proves that when a
stranger interferes in quarrel he
gets the worst of it. our President
is doing his best. We must not say or
do anything that viii restrict his free
dom to judge.
