THE PUEBLO WOMEN. 400 CARLOADS ENTER CANTON, BRYAN TALKS IN A BALLGRQUND ITALY'S ROYALMARRIAGE FETES Miss Strong Comes Home With Fresh European Laurels. pronounced the declarations of the Chicago convention which was Democratic in niiino, as an attack upon Individual freedom, right private eon tho independence of the Judiciary mid a horlty of the President to eiilYirco thi' law. of the United States.

They rhareed the Chicago convention with a attempt to increase the price of silver by i e. l. Oat ion to the di basement of our monetary system, and threatened unlimited Issues of paper money by the oov rniUi'iit. They proclaim in view of these and other grave departures front Democratic principles they cannot, support the candidates, of that convention, nor be bound by nets. They declare that the Democratic party has survived many d.

louts, but it cm never survive a victory won In behalf of the policy proclaimed Chicago. On tile mouov 011. stloi: our gold and silver coin and that Independent of tho action of any foreign nation. (Applause.) What do your opponents Bay? Do they elaborate a system? Not at all. They aro simply opposed to our plans.

Do they know what Is good for the American people? If no, why don't they tell you. "Our opponents tay they havo a sound financial policy. I deny that you can build a sound financial policy upon a gold basis. AnIi thetn where the gold Is. Do they tell you how much there Is In the federal treasury, how much In tho national bank vaults.

Then they guess at the amount In other banks and they leave about half of It uuacccuntod for. "You tcdl us that we will approach the standard of Mexico If we havo free coinage. There aro other nations which havo not free coinage. Take Turkey for instance. Will we approach tho standard of Turkey If wo maintain the gold standard? (Applause.) See what tho gold standard has done for Turkey.

If I had to choose between Mexico and Turkey as a futuro home I would Tar rather go to Mexico and use silver, than go to Turkey and enjoy gold." (Groat applause and cheers.) At Breckinridge Mr. Bryan spoke from the rear platform of his car to a good sized crowd. He was introduced by F. C. Olhbs as the next President of the United States.

SU Paul, October 10 The Bryan party reached this city a few minutes before 7 o'clock this evening. At a large meeting In the big auditorium, Louis Nash, fcr the local labor organization, presented Mr. Bryan with a silver pen and au address on silk, expressing tho hope that he might use the pen In signing the freo coinage bill that dhey hoped to pass. CLEVEE MISS SHEEVE. HER BRILLIANT LONDON DEBUT.

She Went Abroad Two Years Ago and Studied Hard Under Francis Korbay. Glad to Come Home to America and Anxious to Please Her Friends in Brooklyn and New Tork An Experience in Naples. No ono needs to be told that Miss Susan Strong, one of Colonel Mapleson's now Imperial oiora company's stars, is a Brooklyn girl, for her father's name Is still woll remembered In this city. Tho lato Deraas Strong was for many years a well knmvn resident of Wllllams burgh and ono of tho most active Republicans of his party in this city. His daughter has just come home from two years of hard study In London, with Francis Korbay, a full fledged star in gnand opora, and she will make her first bow to au American audience from the stag of the Crowds Turn Out in Fargo to Greet the Candidate.

FLYING THRO' NORTH DAKOTA. Tho Chicago Nominee Says Ho Would Rather Live in Mexico and Uso Silver Than Go to Turkey and Enjoy Gold Old Arguments Against the Present Monetary Standard Repeated. A Speech at Brecltonrldgo. Fargo N. October 10 W.

J. Dryan encountered a few of the vicissitudes and inconveniences incident to the making of a campaign In the Northwest, where railroad facilities are net what they arc In the down East. He arrived In Aberdeen late last night on bcurd the (special car Idler and left Aberdeen late in the morning, leaving the commo lous and comfortable Wagner car for the common, ordinary every day or every night sleeper, which went over road bed not conducive to rest or comfort, oven of a candidate of Mr. Bryan's sleeping qual.ltltea. Thero was a bad mix up at Aberdeen, owing to seme body's mismanagement.

Tho train, was over two hours late when It reached there, and then it was found that thero wero no switch tracks allowing the transfer of tho special car from the tracks of the Chicago and Northwestern, over which tho party arrived, to those of the Great Northern, which road had to be taken in order to allow tho party to get to Fargo, There was telegraphing and hurried consultations and tho result of It all was that at 3 o'clock a special train was taken for Aberdeen to this city. On the train were I Senator Roach and members of the local re committee came to escort Mr. Bryan, The candidate took the cur of the Fargo committee, while his oivn 'private coach went on to St. Paul under charge of John W. Tomiinscn of Alabama, Mr.

Bryan's pro teetor from crowds and ever zealous sup porters. was only 3 o'clock when Mr. Bryan was up again to address a number I cf early rising enthusiasts in bear skin coats. Then he wen; back to bed and slept until o'clock, when Fargo was reached. Mr.

Bryan had breakfast here with Senator Reach and the reception committee at the Hotel I Metropoie. At 10:1." he went to the base ball nark and delivered a speech half au hour long. Mr. Bryan was received with as much enthusiasm as could be expected on a day so chilly. He was introduced by H.

F. Miller, president of the Secretary bank. The noml 1 nee said in part: "Ladles and Gentle men 1 want to talk to ycu a little while about one question which in tills rises above and overshadows all other ij aesti Other questions can be I settled at another time, but when a great party puts in its platform a plank which declares that a financial policy which the American le do not like shall be submitted to you I so 1 ng as foreign nations insist upon it, it raises an issue which must be settled at once. (Applause.) I call yc ur attention to tho fact that the Republican platform, for the Qrst time In the history of that party or In the history of any party in this country. proposes to surrender the right to determine their financial dlcy and place legislative control over It in the hands of the American people.

(Applause.) If the Republican platform had declared that the gold standard was a desirable thing, that Republicans might go forth and present the merits of the gold standard, they might say, as tho advocates of the gold standard said before the St. Louis convention that gold is tho money of civilization, that we had outgrown silver: that you could not have two yard sticks, that free coinage was In the Interest, of the mir.o owner and that the demagogue was appealing to the selfish interests of the people who anted to pay their debts In cheap dollars. I say If the Republican had declared for i 1 1 thfy m'ghthave us thi argumeatswhlch the advocates ot the goid standard usually uso. But the Republican platform does not declare that gold Is a desirable standard. The Republican platform pledges the Republican party to get rid of the goid standard, and to substitute the double standard Just as soon as other nations will let us.

(Applause.) If the gold standard is desirable the American people ought to be allowed to hav It, not fcr a year or four years, but forever, and If the gold Standard is so bad that we ought to ask other nations to help us to get rid of it whether other nations will help us or not. (Applause.) So, my friends, I submit these two propositions which I have repeated, time and time again, that if the gold standard is a good thing then we ought to have It, but if It is a bad thing, as the Republican platform expressly declare, in promising to substitute better for it. then, my friends, we ought to abandon it at once, whether other like it or not, whether they help us to aban it or not. (Applause.) I want you to remember that we who advocate free coinage.ut 1C to 1 are the culy people who have a financial systemthat they are willing to present i before the American people. i Our opp incnts propose nothing, they op pose everything.

(Applause.) We want free I coinage of silver as we have of gold, unlitnit ed dnage of silver as we have of gold coinage at the ratio which now exists between Uhr: that tin 'Xpcrionce of mankind has shown that by reason of its natural ip.ialiiies. gold is the necessary money of the largo affairs of commerce and business; while silver i. conveniently adapted to minor transactions, and that the most beneficial use of both can be insured only by the adoption of the former as the standard of monetary measure and the maintenance of silver at a purity with gold by ils limited coinage under suitable safeguards of law. They speak words of truth and soberness. Tln speak the voice of patriotism.

They repudiate their own party convention 1 and chara its re. olut ions as unsound, inju. lie. ous, unpatriotic and revolutionary. They are to be commended by every lover of his country, everywhere, for their eour aaeous stand on their bold denunciation of doctrines which, although adopted by a convention representing a large body of Democrats, are a menace to the peaco and tranquility, the credit and the currency of tho country." A speech, short and Informal, was delivered to a small delegation of employes of tho Cleveland City Forge and Iron company, introduced by John A.

Lelghton. Major McKinley, nfter his address to tho Maryland club, when tho crowd becatao 60 dense that the police could no longer be used, faced another crowd of some three hundred miners from the Wyoming and Lackawanna counties, tho anthracite district of Pennsylvania, who were Introduced bv Professor W. P. Gree ry. Concluding his' address to tho miners, 'Major t'tevd about to find patiently awaiting an audience of some three hundred white capiW stool workers, employed by the Otis Steel company of Cleveland.

This party was introduced by the Otis company st vk keper. Otto Grabien, and Major McKinley responded briefly. THE NOBLE STREET BATH. The season, which closed lass week nt Public. Path Xo.

SRSeS! Iff The First Woman Student of Pratt Institute Now Superintendent of Manual Training School at Glen Cove. Miss Helen H. Shrevo of this city, who has Just been appointed superintendent of manual training In the union school at Glen Cove, has been honored with tho first special state drawing certificate) ever issued in the state of New YotIc, for which she took an examination In March last. Miss Shrove, who has been a resident ot this city since 1SSG, was born in Mount Holly, N. and was educated in a district school In Jobstown, N.

J. Bacquet institute, Mount Holly, and Swarth more college. She studied painting with Miss Beatrice Maglll, daughter of ex President Magill of HELEN H. SHREVE.1 Superintendent of Manual Training, Glen Cove Union School. Swarthmore.

Although fond of drawing and possessing more than ordinary ability with her pencil, she never studied the subject systematically until she entered Pratt Institute in 1SS7. This was the first class organized thero and Miss Shreve is proud of being the first woman registered as a member of Piatt institute. She studied five mornings a week the first year, entered the evening class in design the third year, and the fourth year attended the afternoon class. She then took the two years' normal art course, graduating In June, During the following term Miss Shreve divided her time between the public school 'n Jamaica and a private school In Paterson. N.

having classes in each. At this time she was largely instrumental in organizing a social society, which held Its meetings once a month in the gymnasium of Pratt Institute until It was united with the Art Students' fund. When the late Charles Pratt donated $1,000 per year to Introduco manual training into the Glen Cove union school, Miss Shreve was offered the position of superintendent, upon the recommendation of Mr. Perry of Pratt institute. She accepted tho position and has already raised the standard of work In her departments far above the average.

In tho manual training room are to be found excellent specimens of clay molding, drawing and designing, carpentry', grill and Venetian Iron work, which reflect creditably upon tho superintendent. A remarkable feature in Miss Shreve's career her ambition to fit herself In all branches of work pertaining to manual training. She has recently completed a course in joinery, and has also taken up wood work and carving. She deserves the title of professor in all that the course of manual training embraces, and Is a scholar of whom Pratt institute may be justly proud. In appearance Miss Shreve is tall and graceful, an excellent conversationalist and bears her honors without ostentation.

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA. MISS SUSAN STRONO, Brooklyn's Prima Donna as SiegHnda in "Die They Are Pretty as Girls and Stately as Mothers. Tho Pueblo Indian women aro ofton very protty as girls and some of thorn make stately young mothers. They work generally la groups of thrco or four, cooking, whitewashing, weaving or painting pottery. They seem to have a good deal to chatter about and their smiling faces are very agreeablo.

They have most excellent white teeth. Their ceremonial dress Is very picturesque, especially the costume of the Acorna and Isleta girls. All burdens aro carried by the women of Acoma, Isleta and Ijaguna upon the head and they havo, la consequence, a magnificent carriage, even late In life. Tho old women of Walpl, on tho contrary, are bent and down looking. They carry their burdens on their backs slung In a blanket.

Tho girls of Isleta wear a light cloth over their heads Spanish fashion and manage It with fine grace and coquetry. The every day dress of the Hopl women consists of a sort of kilt, which is wrapped around tho hips and fastened with a bolt (a modification of the blanket or wolf skin); nbovo this a sort of sleeveless chemise partly covers tho bosom. Their hair Is carefully tended, but Is worn In an ungraceful mode by some of tho women. The women of Hanco cut tho hair In front square across about to the line of the Hps, while the back hair Is gathered Into a sort of billet. The front hair hangs down over tho faces, often concealing ono eye.

Tho unmarried women In Walpl wear thoir hair In a strange way: They coil it into two big disks Just above their ears the intent being to symbolizo their youth and promiso by imitating tLsvsquash flower. The matrons corre spondingly dress their hair to symbolize the ripened squash. Somo of the maidens were wonderfully Japanese In appearance. Ladies' SHE WANTED TO REGISTER. A gray haired woman, respectably dressed, with an air of authority, entered the registry booth of the Seventh district In Flatbush yesterday afternoon and demanded to be placed on record as a voter.

Clerks Charles Halstead and William Welsh stared at the woman for minute in mute surprise, for she looked perfectly sano and waa certainly not intoxi cated. "Oh, you needn't look at me that way," she said; "I mean to vote this year. We women have waited for suffrage to como to us until patience has ceased to bo a virtuo. Now wo are going to take tho matter Into our own hands. Somebody must make a start in order to get a tost case.

If you won't let me register I'll go before the supreme court of the United States, and, as right is on cur side, that august tribunal most decide that women are equal to men, and therefore are entitled to vote at all elections. I am going to vote for William J. Bryan. I undedrstand that he ne drinks anything stronger than water and he will give U3 prohibition." Tho woman stopped for breath and then sold: "Oh, pardon me, I haven't introduced myself yet; my name is Mrs. Marie E.

Jarvino." "All right," said Clerk Halstead, intending to humor tho woman; "whore do you reside? Y'ou know you must put down your address." "1 have no address," said Mrs. Jarvlne. "Where did you como from to day, then?" "Oh, from the county replied the woman. "If that is tho case," said Che clerk, "you are a pauper and can't vote." "I'll show you whether I am a pauper," exclaimed Mrs. Jarvlne.

Sho opened a pecket book and took therefrom a roll of bills, the size of which astonished the registry clerks. "Here is $100," said the woman, waving the United States treasury nctes under tho noses of the clerks, "and there is more whoro that came from. Now am I a pauper?" It was readily admitted that sho was not. Having been told that her name was duly registered the woman departed, with a contented smile on her face. An Eaglo reporter made inquiries at the almshouse, a the county hospital and at the Long Island State hospital, but the name of Marie E.

Jarvlne was not recorded at eithsr of these institutions. AT THE VERNON GROUNDS. Tho Thompson brothers. Warren and Fred, and Dr. Webber wcro tho only members that took part In the clay bird contests of tho Vernon Rod and Gun club yesterday afternoon.

They came from Iowa, New York. Kentucky, Peun sylvto.a, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Wost Virgin, la, Maryland and Ohio in lage delegations. They cams in small parties from a dozen other states.

They crowded Canton's wide streets for miles as they were never crowded before. They marched and counter marched with sound and nm. ic galore. They outyelled tho wondrous veil of yesterday, the famuos yell from Shccnnftoah of Virginia, that kept the ocoes. booming all y.xnerday afternoon and evening.

They surged about the McKinley home and crowded over the porches and rovlcwit.g stands until women fainted and niou paled. Calm and 0, o. anior.g all this wonder of political demonstrations. Major McKinley was In the midst it all day. To have given every caller a handshake have been a physical impossibility, lie made more, than a score of speeches numerous short replies besides.

His friends who were with him on his memorable cam; of from the lake to the gulf ami from Maine to Kansas, when he made nearly live hundred speeches in four mouths, say the campaign then did not compare with that ho is i.o.v going through. He was accessible every one. He only stopped handshaking with th' fchousands to day to make addresses and her. personally greet ether deh gatiet His vo.ee rang out clear and strong. Whenever ills eyes turned to day from early morning until late to night, he looked into the eyes of a sea of faces.

His friends have wondered at his endurance. His visitors to day marvelled at it. Congressman of sa.u nothing like to day's dolm had ever known in political history. Mural said the world had never known mortal man ever being given such gratings. To nightatlOo'elock the Maryland delegation held a mass meeting at the ubcrnaclc.

Railroad men say over four hundred crowded carloads of people have been handled.

Several (lelegattlurts will not attempt to leave town until Sunday. Fifty bishops, general conference ofuVials and prominent members of the A. M. E. Z.

church, sent with the greetings of the centennial Jubileo conference now in session in New York city, were given a most cordial welcome by Major McKinley. They represented, according to their spokesman. George Clinton, nearly half a milil a communicants and, by the same authority, 93 per cent, of the voting quota will vote ana work for the Republican party. The fifth address of tho day was delivered to one thousand or more commercial travelers, coming from Rochester, X. Indlonap Ind.

Mansfield, and territory surrounding these centers. These delegations presented a fine appearance an 1 constituted one of the most distinguished appearing crowds yet addressed. Introductory addresses were made by L. R. Dremberg for Mansfield, bv J.

L. Griffiths for Indianapolis and by J. V. Taylor for Rochester. In his response Major MeKlnlev said: "My fellow citizens of Mansfield, Ohio: Rochester, New York, and Indianapolis, Indiana It gives me very great pleasure to welcome the commercial travelers of these three cities to my city and home.

I do n. it know where there could be found auvwhere a more representative body of American oit.i ezus than among the commercial travelers of the United Suites. Their business possibly better than any other registers the of prosperity of the country. Nobody knows sooner tntin tne commercial traveler wlKther times are good or bad. Xo class of rn so register the waves of business as the men who stand before me lore to You are interested in your oocupat ions and having prosperity extend from one end of the country to the other.

You are Interested In ocupatlons and in having prosperity extend from one end of the country to the ether. You are interested in having all of our workshops running; ail our mines in operation and all our rkitigtiieu constantly and profitably employed. You are, therefore, this year more than ever before interested in the triumph of the political principles which envelop the woll beli.tr and highest prosperity of the American people. You want to stop unsold go. ds and unpaid bills.

You know better than anybody else that you can not sell goods to y. ur cus' tomeirs unless your customers can s'ell goods to tho people. You know that the cannot buy goods unless they have to do with which to earn money that they niav buy them. That's what l's tho matter' with the country to day. That's the dlaanesls our condition at this hur.

Business has been stopped; the wheels of industry are not running; idle men are on the streets. Many c.9 the manufacturing establishments are cosed and you are net doing a well as were in lsr 2.

Preparing Quarter for the Princo of Naples and His Bride What the Latter's FatherWroto to Her. Rome, October 10 Tea days hence the wed ding fates that are expected to do so muoh for fho Italian dynasty will begin.

If tho bride's father is to bo believed the future of PrlncesB Heleue Is not to bo tranquil. The last lines he addressed to Ms daughter on her betrothal wero these: "To Mine Helena. All not gold tht glitters; bo mindful of this, 0 my daughter. and know that happiness has never chosen for her scat a throne. Under tho kingly crown is tho crown of thorns, and not even In fabla can we find a happy king.

Seek happlnosa la the graceful corner of thy home In work with in thy human power and obedient to d'lvlna command. Thy father, Nicholas." Tho Italians porhaps aro not speculating much on the bride's futuro happiness, but they aro counting, with all tho enthusiasm of their Southern nature, on the pure Mon tenegrin blood to re establish the physical splendors of the kings of the house of Savoy, whereof the Prince of Naples Is an unsatis factory specimen. With the exception, of a few grumblers the marriage gives satisfac tion to everybody king, pope and people. By the alliance King Humbert expects to nowly confirm tho Itallanity of Rome as capi tal of tho kingdom, and for this reason he has directed that all the ceremonies, such as tho civil and religious rites, signing the mar riago contract for which the presence of the premier of Montenegro Is indispensable shall occur In Rome. His holiness, the pope, is pleased at the marriage because ne regards tho conversion of Princess Helena as being of tho nature of a personal triumph.

All the while tho holy father considers it another step toward tho reunion of the Roman and Greek churches. Then, too, the cholco of the crown princo saves the Vatican from the serious em'oarrastments and political preoccupations which would have been inevitable' had tho bride boon a daughter of an ancjont reigning family of Europe. For such an alliance would, to a certain extent, have confirmed and reacknowledged the fact of 1870. The holy see has since then objected to the presenco of Catholic sovereigns in the Eternal city. Tho nation Is pleased, for the additional reason of the national love of a fete which the royal house has for a long time been unable to supply.

The popular fever for display is taking many forms, sensible and ridiculous. Among many projects it has been proposed to reconstruct the Forum, the Colosseum and even tho baths of Caracalla with wood, linen and plaster, and to populate them with persons dressed in togas and sandals who are to form a triumphal procession of "Caesar returning from subduing the barbarians." Fetes for the populace will, however, be held everywhere, and odes and without music have been composed in dozens all over Italy. Rejoicing and festivities will bo universal from Capo Passaro to the lakes of Lombardy. Whether happy or not under the gloomy prophecy of Prince Nicholas, the material side of tho future awaiting the young couple will be well looked after. When parliament assembles a grant of half a million lire ($100,000) per annum will be made to the Prince of Naples and a further sum to his bride.

Tho honeymoon will bo spent in Florence, at the Palazzo Pitti, the magnificent Meridiana apartments of which have been put in respleudant order. Tho rooms to ba occupied at the Quirinal palace later on are now ready. Six of these rooms cost $400,000 to furnish. There is little doubt that the young folks aro in love with each other. The crown prince made his fiance's acquaintance at tho coronation festivities of tho czar, who, rumor asserts, was the matchmaker for both.

Be this as it may, since the engagement daily letters and several times dally telegrams have been tho order, with many presents at short intervals. Among these figure the betrothal bracelet of great value and several rings, almost priceless. Ono of the rings is composed ot four circles each sot with stones of a different color diamonds, sapphires, rubles and emeralds. The four tints of these stones combine tho national colors of Italy and Montenogro Italy, white red and green, Montenegro white, red and blue. The King and Queen of Italy havo ordered some beautiful Jewelry and Queen Marghoritte has in addition ordered a bicycle of exceptional finish for Princess Helena, who is a famous rider.

As the programme is at present arranged Princess Helene will arrive at Bari from Antivari on October 20. Next day she will make formal profession of th.e Catholic faith In the Latin Church of St. Nicholas at Bari. The formal entry into Rome takes place on the 22d, the civil and Teligious marriage on the 24t.h.

New Y'ork, In less than three weeks from to day. Miss Strong arrived only a week ago and she Is now with her sister for a few days' rest, at the old country home of the family, in East Haddam, Conn. The Imperial opera company opens Its season on the 26th, but rehearsals will commence ten days before, Just before leaving for the country Miss Strong saw an Eagle representative and to'ty something or her plans and her European experiences. "The sea trip," said she, "completely unnerved me, though most of the time the Atlantic was like a mill pond. I am going to take a few days' rest before commencing rehearsals.

I have engaged apartments In the Everett house, where I shall be near the Academy an'd my work. Shall I be afraid to sing before my friends? No, indeed. I am looking forward to my appearance with eager anticipation, for I am an American girl and care more for the approval of people here than I could possibly fcr that of any foreign audience. I scarcely realize that I have been away for two years, now that I am back again, for everything looks very familiar and all of the friends I left behind then are still here now. What shall I sing In first? I hardly know.

Colonel Mapleson wishes mo to optn with but I think I prefer to open In as Margareta. And it is a singular coincidence that affects my choice. The first opera I ever heard was and in the Academy of Music, with Nilson singing Margaretha. I was carried away with tho music and' It seems to me that even then I began to build castles In the air. Now my castle is likely to be realized, and It seems so strange.

"In tho season hero I shall sing In four roles, Margaretta In Elsa In Madelalne in Glordand's new opera, 'Andro and Which do I llko best? None. I liko all equally woll I think and I am carried away by all. Be sido I shall sing In concert if tho occasion arises. During my study under Mr. Korbay, I learned nine operas and eno oratorio, but enly four of tho will be presented here.

Y'ou wish to hear something of my work abroad? Well, as you know, I went to Lenden two years ago to study under Mr. Korbay. I had studied with him in New York for years though I had never intended fitting myself for grand opera on account of my father's disinclination to see me upon tho stage. After his death I was lonely and alone. Mr.

Korbay went to London and finally I wrote him asking if ho thought it worth while for me to make the attempt. In his reply he said 'if you have confidence In yourself, come and I will teach you, but if you havo not do not try. As for me you know that I have always had confidence in your voice and I think that you will This decided me and I went over to hi in. I studied vory hard, giving up everything else to my music and I was rewarded by scoring a success In London at my debut there in Covent Garden. London audiences are not as cold as they arc pictured and their reception to me left mo nothing to deslro.

I sang first Sleglinda in the and afterward Elsa In "Last January Manelnelll sent for me to como to him at Naples and sing. When I arrived I found I was to appear in public. Tlio great conductor camo to me and paid: 'You must not bo surprised If you are greetod with biases. Do not lot it disturb you. The Neapolitans are accustomed to greet In this way and they may hiss you off the atago before you sing a I was hard to feel cheerful under such conditions, but I de'enninod to do my best.

Well Iwa.s not. hissed off the stage. Tho audience did not hiss at all. It heard mo through and called mo out twlco before tho oprea was over. I had scored a victory and did I not havo a right to feel rather proud of it.

I sang three times In Naples and received courteous and pleasant treatment each time. But that Is over and I am In Now York hoping to win tho favor of my countrymen and If I Buncoed hero then Indeed I shall ho glad. I am never afraid when singing for I lose sight of myself and think only of my part. Then tho labor of the work Itself makes one forget oneself. There la tho memorization of tho words thomsolvot, tho music and the acting.

All of tho words aro Italian and all of tho other singers aro Italian. I am tho only American In tho company." Mlns Strong Is a remarkably handsome woman, and her statuesque beauty and grace fit her admirably for the parts she Is to day. Not vcryone can make an acceptable Alda or an Elsa as the Imagination pictures and the eyo demands to mako tho unity of tho complete picture. mmJsm Jr Mtyy 1 1 iliMi ilk .0.
