ton of the resolution was joke. But
he had become convinced that with
a whole lot of people the matter was
not a joke. He could see nothing
to be gained by it, but the fostering
of a sectional feeling that ought to
be eliminated from the legislative
body as soon as possible.
Mr.. Busto, of Monroe county. fol-
lowed with the statement that he was
of the opinion that the proposition
was a very meritorious one. Not from
any sectional animosities, but from
purely business standpoint.
Mr.. Phillips, of Columbia county
declared the proposition was a fair
one. 1t is one that the people hayA
got to face at no distant day. he
said. and they might just as we'll do
it now. Conditions warrant it and
the diversity of interests demand it,
and that demand is yearly CROWNS
stronger.
Mr.. Wicker, of Sumter county, de-
clared he had fought this very propo-
to do the same thing now. He said
he first thought it was a joke, and he
had not changed his opinion. 1t had
been said that republican congress-
would not consent to this division if
it was put to them. But it was his
opinion they might. And it was with
in the bounds of the possibilities that
such consent would give to congress
two republican senator's and two re-
publican representatives. The need of
the hour, he said, was statesmen at
Tallahassee, who could rise above sec
tionalism and legislate for the whole
state.
IT, Of he
felt very kindly toward South Florida
change necessary, and the time is ripe
for the change.
Mr. F'utch, of Lake county, de-
clared that the people of his section
would long remember the words of
Mr.. Scruggs of Leon, and cherish
them. He knew, he said, that it WAS
not pleasant to come to the parting
of the ways, but he believed the time
was ripe for it in this case. If not
it will be ripe by the time the ma
can be put in motion. He was
not afraid of South Florida going
republican.
Mr. Epperson, of Levy county, said
he lived between the two extremes
of the state, and he thought he had
the cream of both. Floridas great
ness in the sisterhood of states he said
came of her great diversity of wealth
producing interests, and division at
this time would lose her prestige. One
section of the state needs the other,
according to his view.
Mr. Williams, of Polk, thought it
was unfair to inject suggestions of

Chicago Opera Association announces
that Carlo Galefi, young Italian barry
tone, will be q member of his organiza-

at the Teatro Colon, Buenos Ayres, will
come from the Argentine capital to this
country, arriving here some time in Oc-
tober He will sing in all the principal

in New York. Mr.. Galeffi made his first
appearance in America with Henry Rus
sells Boston Opera Company. He is
native of Parma, the home city of Mr..
Campanini. He studied in both Bo-
logna and Milan. Before coming to the
Scala he sang in many of the smaller
cities in Italy.
The first concert OF the Italian Musi-

much lower may have been some Of the
pinnacles.
"Therc arc other things for which
we also may be grateful and one of
the chief of these has been the rise of
the American singer, The war has
obliged us to fall back upon native
talent and the result has been surpris-
ingly encouraging. OF course we
always had Nine. Farrar, but recent
seasons have shown us that we have
others who are operate artists of the
first rank. These are Nine. Mabel Gar
rison, Charles uackctt, Thomas Chal-
mers. All these are singers Of high
grade of excellence and next season l
feel sure I shall be able to show some
others. Indeed in a few years America
will be Independent Of Europe in the
matter of artists.

A Noble Roman Speaks

Of the Metropolitan Opera House.
When he came, succeeding Heinrich
Conried, his beard was black; to-day It
is gray. Mr.. Gatti is not an American;
he speaks little English; outside the
few who know him through their con-
nection with the opera he is veritably
a fable. Sometimes during perform
ance tell, gray-bearded man, grave
OF face and of mien, may be seen
walking slowly down the lobby, his
hands behind his back, his head and
shoulders bowed in thought. Almost
invariably he is alone and almost
equally invariably he turns into the
rear of the passage behind the orches-
ira rail. Here among the standees, who
have paid their $3.50 because they love
the opera, the Metropolitan's general
manager ,prefers to listen to the per-
formance- Rarely does he use the
sumptuous box in the grand tier
allotted to him by the directors.
Giulio Gatti Casazza believes in the
aristocracy of art, but in spirit he is a
democrat of democrats. Ceremony
and gilt, feathers and pomposity he
abhors. Asman of the theatre, he loves
the theatre where it belongs-upon the
stage. Those who through long years
have come to know this grave Italian
realize that in him Italy has given US
of her best. In the service of opera
in America he has grown gray and
bowed. Unknown himself, his power
has been potent and omnipresent.
Utterly American as he is in his re-
ticence and in his dispassionate de-
tachment, he represents the very spirit
of which our theatre and indeed our
national life are SO much in need. In
the body of an aristocrat lives the soul
of democrat. Those who judge Italy
by either Gabrielle dAnnunzio or the
Black Hand should know Giulio Gatti-
Casazza.
The Americans who know him are
few. Some members of the board of
directors, few of the artists of the
company and the little coterie of Jour
na}sts and officials who during the
season gather in the little room off
the Thirty-ninth Street stage entrance
these are perhaps all those who know
him as he is. Mr.. Gatti- Casazza has
three pleasures-his books, his work
and his nightly discussions. His books
he enjoys alone in his apartment; his
work is carried on in the solitude of
his Office or on the stage; his discus
sions occur in the little room off the
stage entrance. Each night about nine
thirty the Metropolitan's general man
ager enters this room and seats him
self on a hard wood bench Presently
the room begins to fill; some one says
something about singing or composers
or politics or philosophy or religion.
