Schumann. Heink Shows Time Has
Not Stolen Away Her Golden
Gift Of Song.
By Gotta BARTHOLOMEW.

Fairly radiating good nature
/: and happiness and beaming with
big hearted motherliness, Madame
Ernestine Schumann-Heink, prima
donna contralto, took her immense
audience last evening at Augustana
gymnasium in her arms and sang
F. to them as only Schumann-Heink
( can sing. And her audience was
moved with a depth of feeling that
{ responded with great sympathy and
warmed and electrified the air.
Madame Schumann-Heink, de-
spite her years, Is still the high
priestess of her art and with the
exception Of once or twice when
there was a. slight hoarseness, It
was still the same golden voice Of
her earlier years and shows no
effect of the recent throat trouble
with which she suffered.
The audience filled every avail
able seat in the gymnasium and
extra seats were provided on the
stage, back of the singer and again
and again the great artist turned
and sang to those who the rest of
the time had to listen with her
back as their view. She was in
high good humor and had grelt
fun over the approach to the stage
from the dressing room, which is
an inclined plane, and she seemed
afraid Of falling or slipping as she
descended it and each time when 1t
came to making her exit she made
some slight gesture or remark and
finally said "That is a dangerous
place. If you hear me fall you will
know that it is an aeroplane."
Is Given Flowers.
An incident of the evening which
! shows the big-heartedness of the
woman occurred when little MISS
Lucille Lambert mounted the stage
and presented the prima donna
with a large gpray of American
Beauty roses. AS the singer &C
cepted the flowers she kissed the
little woman on the cheek and then
turning to her audience said that
the kiss was to show her gratitude
for the flowers and appreciation 10
every one and the kiss was meant
for every single one in the audi
ence.
Madame Schumann Heink was
assisted by Frank LaForge, noted
composer and pianist and he shared
with the singer the honors Of the
evening, contributing in no small
part of the tremendous success OF
the entire performance. He not
only acted as acc0mpanist, but
also played two groups of piano
numbers and contributed five of the
compositions rendered, by the sing
or. His accompaniment was in
stinct with sympathy. Furthermore,
he prepared for her song an en-
vironment that invited an attitude
of unconsidered subjective response
which the concert goer experiences
with such rarity that 1T inspired
profound gratitude. His compost
lions are tpneful, and he ranks SIS
one of the best of the modern writ
ers and his works are receiving a
wide recognition. AS a player he
10 an artist and thoroughly de-
lighted.
Madame SchumannHeink pro.
gram was of q character to first o.
all entertain, arranged not SO much
to display any OF the pyrotechnic:
of the voice or its range or power
n flexibility, rather to show III
genuine beauty and to please il
hearers. Serenely beautiful, per
suasively eloquent, infinitely re
sourceful, limitless in the variety o

 How did the country look from the great heights?" we asked the bride groom.
 We could not distinguish anything. No landmarks were observable. The country had a sort of blurred appear ance, green and brown"

 No" said the bride; it was as pleas ant as ascending. We came down gently and gradually. From the beginning to the end of our bridal tour the basket did not sway It was perfectly steady"

 Did your dress get soiled?" walked a mile and met wagon and drove to the railroad"

A TALK WITH MIR. BALDWIN

The aeronaut who made the trip of the famously successful balloon bridal, is s. Y. Baldwin He is in the prime of life, seemingly about 30 years of age, and is an attractive man. He is a gentleman and a modest one, and thought a great deal more about the young couple entrusted to him than of any possible glory to himself His home is in Quincy. H.. and this is his first trip south.
 He came back fresh and smiling last night and full of praise for the con- duct of the young people. Said he:
 q never have had anyone to act bet ter than they did The bride was self possessed all the way; and behaved like a heroine. She was calmest at the most exciting times, Why, when we came down among those trees and the balloon was whipping about and breaking limbs right and left she was not frightened at all I told her to sit down and not be afraid and she sat there till we got within a few feet of the ground when we lifted her out of the basket and let her drop about five feet, landing her perfectly sound and safe"
 Give The Age Herald an account of the trip from the beginning?"
 well, we were up just about an hour, landing at 3 o'clock. We went up two miles. l took the ObServatiO with barometer and when I showed the young couple the measurements, the young lady asked if it wasn't about time to come down The view of Jones valley as we went over it was grand beyond my power of description.
 "Everywhere I looked there seemed to be a village nestling' around the big city of Birmingham, We went over a number of open places and after we crossed Red mountain, where I could have landed. but I knew it would please the people who were watching us a great deal better if we kept on till they couldn't see us so I held the course till we were out of sight I>could have gone on for 20 miles further, but there was no need to run any risks and I came down among the trees on top of Oak Ridge. It Was pretty exciting with the limbs crashing around us, but we soon had the bride safe, and then the groom got cut. Pretty soon the country peo- pie came hurrying up and from 40 to 50 persons were there to help us and see us through. They brought axes and after cutting down half dozen trees we cot free and found it had only four or five rents that. can easily be mended. The country people were just as kind as they could be and were still coming to the scene when we left They told me the exact location was near N, A. Cross house, on Oak Ridge, in Highland beat, shelby county. just seven miles north east of Helena and + miles a little to the southeast of Birmingham
