A Chance for the Visiting
Angel

When William Travers Jerome was
district attorney of New York he
started crusade of prosecutions
against fortune tellers, soothsayers
and fake mediums, who at that time
infested parts of Manhattan island in

AL Thomas, a husky person with wit
of his own, was detailed to the job
of securing evidence against these Of
tenders and then arresting them.
In pursuance of his object Thomas
called upon so-called crystal-gazer,
pretending that he wanted reading
The faker ushered the customer into
a dimly lit room hung with black
hangings and adorned with mysteri-
Gus objects presumably pertaining to
black art. There he sat Thomas down
at a table and taking seat on the
opposite side he took Thomas brawny

own hands, and in the other he bal
anced large glass ball.
For a period of impressive silence

the strangers palm to the ball and
back again from the ball to the palm.
Then seemingly he began to drift into
trance. His eyes dropped. his head
nodded, then at length his lips moved,
framing words.
"A shape is lowering above me-" he
stated in rapt tones. 1T draws nearer
and yet nearer-it is an angel!"

Distressing Feature

Mrs. ii. G. Van Wrinkle, chief of the
women's division of the Washington
police department, said the other day
my experience leads me to think
that boys are growing better, while
girls are growing worse. A distress
ing feature of the thing is that the
more modern a girl is-the worse
she is, mean, from the conservative
viewpoint-the greater her success.
"a modern girl got married not
long ago to one of the richest and
finest men in the country. A friend
of mine made neat comment on the
match.

The Franklin" stove, which is en-

Benjamin Franklin. The older forms
are portable open fireplaces, in which

often contain a CRATE and are some
times fitted with sliding doors, by
which the fire may be entirely
shut in.

.ELDA VETTORI TO SING
IN "LATOSCA" HERE
Young American Soprano to Ap-
rear With Washington Opera Co.
in Seasons First Performance.

Elda Nettori. the young Ameri
can sorano, who is to make her
debut In this city November 16 with
the Washington Opera Company, in
La Tosca," in the first performance
Of the season at the Washington Audi
torium, is an example of successful
perseverance against great obstacles.
Nine. Nettori is almost entirely an
american product in music and she
has been hailed by critics all over the
country AS promising singer.
Ricardo Delera. the chief coach of the
Metropolitan Opera Company. is said
to have declared that in her acting. as
well as singing, she ranks with the
best
The accident Of birth robbed this
singer OF being a native American, but
so far az she can remember America
is her country. for her father came to
this country while she was a baby.
She was barely in her teens when
her father died. and in less than two
months her two older brothers were
10th killed in an accident. That placed
the burden Of supporting the family
upon her and an older sister.
That she was able under this handi-
cap to take up her study and to reach
the heighth which she has attained
shows the do or die" spirit.
Her rise to the high esteem in
which she is held stands as a vindica-
ton of those who have claimed for
years that singers could reach the
maximum Of their musical ability by
study in this country alone. She has
overcome the handicap Of poverty and
reiudice.

PANORAMA VIEW OF THAT GREAT SOCIAL AND HIS
TORICAL EVENT BY JULIUS F. TAYLOR

Last Sunday evening the writer
eased into lower berth on one Of
the pullman palace cars which run
over the Wabash Railroad between
this city and St. Louis, Mo. The train
was composed Of 16 all steel cars.
We were headed for Springfield, Illi-
nois. 1t was called the ST Louis
midnight special from this city to that
city standing on the banks of the
Mississippi river.
The long train started on dead
rum out Of the Polk Street station at
9:3O P. M., and the big, old engine
pufed and painted, roared and snorted
and made more noise than anyone has
ever heard before, while it was en-
gagged in tearing out over the country
like a wild Indian astride Of wild
mustang horse.
Shortly after we had curled down
III our Derth we went dead to the
world and We slept as sound as an. old
Virginia mule from that time until
the long train arrived in Springfield
in the midst Of a heavy, cold snow
storm, and the town was dark and
gloomy until after the arrival Of the
large delegation from this city and
from other sections Of the grand old
state Of Illinois.
The arrival Of the members of the
far-fanled Hamilton Club, almost one
thousand strong, under the leadership
Of Hon Alexander Fyfe its president,
and headed by the famous band, 202nd
Field Artillery completely woke ND
the sleepy old town. The next dele
cation to follow the members Of the
Hamilton Club, were the hundreds Of
