VIII Appear at the Al. Ringing
Theatre Friday Night in
I'll Trovatore"

With the coming Of the Boston Eng
lish Opera company to the AL Ringing
Theatre on Friday night, January 26,
in the mammoth production of Verdi's
beautiful opera, "n Trovatore," has
been revived discussion as to which
of the notable singers possesses the
greatest voice, Caruso, the star of the
Metropolitan opera house, has succeed
ed Campini, Tamago and De Reszke.
In the field of English grand opera, Jo-
seph p. Sheehan still stands unri-
vailed.
In a recent article on high c tenors,
the American is placed at the head Of
the worlds greatest artists with re-
spect to altitude. Sheehan never
lodges high c in composers score,

and in such operas as "Il Trovatore"
and Faust" he comes out with the
high C on several occasions, with such
ease as to make one marvel. In evil
liam Tell" he comes out with fine
high D, which is the highest note re-
quired of tenor in any grand opera
role.
Signor Tamago, in his prime, gave a
robust D fat and Caruso rises to C
natural, but only with lyric and not
a robust tone Jean de Reszke did his
best in reaching B natural in robust
style, and this may also be said to be

ceiling. Sparks went into dangerous
cracks. The more timid and the more
doubtful in the crowd backed away to-
wards doors and windows.
There in % Seconds.
With inflammable material on all
sides no one made any effort to turn
in an alarm. But just one minute and
thirty five seconds after the match was
applied the Kansas City fire depart
ment drew up in front of the hardware
store and firemen stepped inside. A
bucket full of water was thrown on
the fire and it died out The 'au-
tomato" had given the alarm.
A little bulb of glass in the ceiling
was the only visible connection be-
tween the burning excelsior and the
fire department, but it did work. The
fellow who wanted to bet it wouldn't,
hid his identity in the crowd.
T. ]. Botkin, secretary of state;
Walter Payne, state treasurer, and w.
ID. Ross, superintendent of public in
struction, along with scores of others,
saw the demonstration. 1t made be-
levers of all of them.
Here is what happened during the
minute and thirty-five seconds that
elapsed after the match was applied
and the fire department arrived:
Thermostat Did 1t.
The little bulb in the ceiling, really
a thermoStat, began to warm up as
the flames assembled. As it warmed
the mercury it contained began to
crawl up in the tube and when the
heat reached 100 degrees the mercury

Rock Island employe in Kansas and
johnson, George Teasdale, i chemist.
and oscar Dryer, an electrician. For
Jour years they have worked out one
problem after an other and now the
system is perfected. They invite any
one and everyone to attempt to put
finger upon one weak place in the
system. With fire-fighting officials
from numerous towns on the ground
when the demonstration took place,
there was plenty of opportunity to ind
fault. johnson answered hundreds OF
questions and most of them he re-
word of mouth.
They've got it, declared Tom Bot
kin, after the fire was out. Ever since
the mechanics of this thing were eX-
planned to me I have believed in 1t
and now 1 know they have something.
Operate in Kansas.
The company, of which F. A orr
of Kansas City is president and j. NJ.
johnson, the inventor, is secretary, has
obtained permission of the blue sky
departments of Kansas, Missouri
and Iowa, to operate. 1t is
capitalized at 100000 and most of the
stock is held by railroad men. Johnson
said at least l 900 of the stockholders
are railroad employees officials. con-
ductors, clerks, engineers, firemen and
shopmen. A lot of them live in Kan
sas Some of them witnessed the dem
onstration and they believe in the
system.

BATTLE OF SHILOH

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The National Association of the
Survivors of the Battle of Shiloh will
take an excursion from st. Louis, Mo-,
on one of the st. Louis and Tennessee
river packet steamers on the evening
Of the I'd of April for Pittsburg Land
ing to celebrate the fifty-fifth ami
versary of the great battle on the 9Th
and 18th of April. The battle of
Shiloh to the date it was fought was
the greatest battle of the Civil war
Last year I accompanied the excursion
of the fifty-fourth anniversary for my
personal enjoyment, sd this year
will take the trip at the earnest solicit
tation of the adjutant, George p
Washburn, of the association, of OF
tawa, and others, who request me to
make effort to induce survivors, vet
Grams and patriotic Americans to join
in and go with rs. The steamer will
sail down the Mississippi river to
Cairo, Ill, then up the Ohio to Pa
ducah, Ky, the mouth of the Tennes-
see river, and up that river to Pitts
burg Landing, Tenn.
1 hope the above will come to the
eyes of some anxious to make the
journey, MARTIN L. FRY.
