When the century was younger the gods meted out this portion to the sons of men with less stint.

Byron is example in one line of achievement, and so is Alfred de Mussct; in another there is Mnliurnn, the great singer, who reached the topmost rung of her profession whilst she was in the 20s, and Patti, of whom Hciislick, one of the foremost living mutual critics, has recently said in his rcmij i scene es that, when he first heard her Adclina was then aged 19) sho sang -Zerliim in "Don Giovanni" sin absolute' spontaneous to which no erperi- studyiin after years could add anything' whatever.

It is noteworthy that there is not one man or woman on the stage today who satisfies nt the same moment, as Patti once did, both the highest artistic seiiHp and the ideal of youthful beau- tj winch the author, or composer, of jilay-tir opera had in mind when he created his hero or heroine. It is necessary with everyone -of the great singers that the spectator supply- a little illusion on his own part when it comes to the question of the perfect physical presentment of a role.

As to Yvette Gnilbert. And.again there is the latest Yvette Guilbprt. Nobody knows exactly how the has made more money in Paris within the last sir than any three of the prtyit opera mnpciN put together, and who will carry back a Hinall fortjine at the close Of her four weeks' engagement in' New York, began life.

'Some have it that she was an nrtixt's model: that she paint- ir deserted her, and has-been a iiiaii-luiter ever since; other rumors say that she was a shopgirl at the Printemiis. a -dry jr6od.fi establishment of the style of the Bon Marcfie on the Boulevard Hnnssniaiiu. However that: may be, she was; fully 30, and perhaps she was more, when she first came into notice in Paris as a -reciter (one can scarcely say a singer) of snugs'. She discovered, as it Hnghes IA Roux, is a favorite lecturer with a fashionable following, lie wrote about and talked lipr up. her jieculiar "genre" having taken his fancy.

Yvette Guilbert is anything but prett.v. nor are the angular arid hard her face those of youth. She had a struggle before celebrity came and the murks show. All the same, "she announces in five years or so more, when she shall havo made still more money, she will settle down, "cafe chantant" stage and marry. -Ami, iudeeu, there is no age; young-looking or not.

nt which a -female celebrity may not that be- any All these things which I have pointed have this effect: girls who have a voice, or dramatic talent, do not hesitate now to begin. to-study for a professional career at au-. age which, fifteen or. even ten yenrs ago, would have lieeu iurmdy too advanced There have been studying in Paris for the past two or three-years young American women of 28 or or any approximate are look- inff forward to making a professional debnt time in the future, (and the future does not always appear very near, either). One of the "girls who will return from a finishing course of European study year, with hopes singing in opera, is, by the way.

Miss dan Hunt of Boston. I heard her a or two ago and she had then a magnificent soprano and dramatic force and intensity. Unless the signs fail she is destined to. be heard of before long. What applies to the stage also applies to an artist's career, to a pianist's or a viohmust's and to a writer's.

Success, ially kind is worth auy- aud that lasts, conies less and less the first youth. A decade or two 'ago If celebrity, or prestige, had not come "the strugsler along any artistic path. the age of 35 it was generally as- that It would not come at all. point of view is much changed from as we see, as much for women men.

Thomas Savage of "Keshena is in the city, his purpose being a consultation with the Oneida Indians on the reservation here in reference to securing about $17,000 which: they claim is none the tribe from the government. At a council held yesterday afternoon a committee was appointed to take such steps as may be necessary to bring the matter before the secretary of the interior.

The basis of the claim may be stated in brief: When were alloted their lands in severany some ten or twelve years ago the government agreed give them $25,000 to assist them in starting farming operations. At one worth of agricultural implements were distributed and later about $3000 worth, thus leaving due them from the government, their claim, No previous demand -has been made for this claim ancT it would seem the government has simply forgotten its existence. Mr. Savage is not aware of the nature of the agreement and cannot tell what evidence may be found to substantiate the.claim. He will assist them, however, as far as he The present winter is an uhnsually hard one on the reservation -and Mr.

Savage apprehends considerable suffering amonc the more improvident ones. It ia his opinion that as a whole they are not improving very rapidly in habits of frugality. THIRD FATAL. ACCIDENT. Another Man Killed in a Mime at Iron Belt.
