PATTI fi WORLD WONDER
Stories and Characteristics of
the Famous Singer.
STICKLER FOi OUTDOOR EZES0I3R
Secret of the Greet Prims Donna's
XontU and Power Described by the
Itev. Thomas B. Gregory—ller Kind¬
ness to a Peasant Woman and Her
Dylnit Uasiihter.
All the world is wondering over the
| announcement that Mme. Adelina I’atti
is to make another song tour, says tlie
Rev. Thouins B. Gregory in the New
’ York American and Journal.
| Hie great piirnu donna was born In
1843 and Is therefore at the present
time sixty years oid. It is this latter
fact that makes the world wonder.
That a woman threescore years of age,
a woman who had won her crown as
queen of the opera before many of the
fathers and mothers of today were
born, should be announced for sixty
| concerts in this country the coming
I fall is .something that the public cau
not quite comprehend.
It is a mystery to us. Must there not
be some mistake? Can it be possible
, that the Patti we are to bear in the
coming fall is the Patti who by her tal
ismanlc voice charmed our fathers and
mothers more than a generation ago?
It Is the same,identical Patti. There
Is no doubt about it. But can It be that
she can still sing? Undoubtedly she
; can sing, very superbly, else the best
Judges of vocal music In the world
j would not pay her $500,000 for the tour
' —$7,500 a concert, $15*5 for each inhi
.
; ute she is on the stage. $2.(50 a second!
| Yes, you may depend upon it that
Patti—Patti at sixty—can still sing and
' sing like Patti. It is said that this
: wonderful woman does not show her
: age by twenty-five years. Not behind
: the footlights, but out in the honest
! ' sunlight she looks, we are told, like a
woman of thirty-five. What Is the se
i cret of her youth and power? It is
I what u great many people would like
to know; it is what I am now going to
I tell the people. In the first place Pat¬
ti’s fine mental and physical condition
Is the result of Patti's own applied in
i ! telligence and will power.
When she was a mere child, she said
! to herself, "I will be young as long as
I live.” and she has beat every energy
and purpose of her life toward the ful
: Ailment of that resolution. The great
i singer was born with good sense, and
haying that she realized thnt her first
thought should be about her physical
health. Accordingly she has always
taken excellent care ef her l»ody. She
has never been a drinker of alcoholic
liquors. She has always been a plain
liver, preferring to rich dishes the fare
that was wholesome rather than “In
: vitlng. • • She bus from her earliest
! youth been a great stickler for outdoor
| exercise. The wiuds have blown upon
: her. the sunshine has bathed her. She
| knows what it Is to be iu close and lov
j ing touch with the dear old Nature
whence comes the ozone of life.
I In the meantime I’utti did not over¬
look tlie fact that she had a mind and
that It was the privilege of that mind
to think and to revel in tlie immortal
conceptions of tin* intellectually great
of all ages. Mme. Patti is an unusual¬
ly bright and intelligent woman, and
there is scarcely a theme upon which
she cannot talk with charming inter¬
est. Furthermore, this wonderful little
woman lias taken good care of her
heart—-that is to say, of the human af¬
fections! side of her uatu She lias
1 nevpr allowed herself to become sour
r r cyi S always been able
to see a bit of blue in the darkest sky.
From Craig-y-Nos. the i e of the
gTL Si comes this story: She was
out walking one day and. feeling thirs
ty. called at a cottage by the wayside
to ask for a g ss of milk. When she
1 had finished drinking the milk, she
1 opened her purse to pay the cost, when
the peasant woman raised her hand in
gentle remonstrance, shying, “There is
nothing to pay for the milk, hut will
madam kindly sing to us one of her
; sweet songs?”
Patti entered the humble home and
' sang In her most superb style “Home,
Sweet Home.” The astonished and de
i lighted cottagers listened in raptures
j and tendered their distinguished visit¬ in
or warmest thanks. Then from an
1 ner apartment came a feeble voice:
“Please sing that again. It was so
; beautiful!”
“That is my daughter, who is dying
of consumption.” said the cottager,
i “She is so fond of singing. >>
Patti visited tlie sick girl, sang the
! song to her and gave her a sympa¬
thetic word. The milk had been paid
; for by melody for which the world
; would have gladly paid thousands of
I dollars.
Such, then, is Adelina Patti. Is it :?.iy
; wonder that she is still young and
beautiful and full of song?
i Patti’s perfect physical condition and
her undiminished fund of animal spir¬
its wore revealed in an odd manner
upon the occasion of her last London
; appearance in concert. While she was
singing a heavy and exacting aria from
j one of the classic operas a wasp began
buzzing about her nose. Patti brushed
j the insect away several times without
interrupting her vocal performance,
which only added to the wasp’s evident
determination to investigate the source
of sueh celestial sounds. Tlie singer’s
gestures under the circumstances were
so out of keeping with the character of
the aria she was interpreting that the
: audience could not conceal its smiles.
Finally the pestiferous insect ruan
! aged to light on Patti’s nose. This was
too much. She made a hysterical flour
i i S fi with both hands to rid herself of
the enemy, then burst into ringing
laughter. In which the audience joined,
I and skipped off the stage like a girl of
. kLxletu.
WHEN MORGAN LOST.
agnate Thought Spaut*h Game Jal
Alai Ea«jr l util H« Triad It.
J. Pierpont Morgan. who has played
the game of finance with great succt'ss.
| encountered a different proposition and i
different results when he tried the great
j
World.
1 Passengers from Havana tell of Mr.
; Morgan's experience iu the betting ring
where excited thousands watch the
rport. With Lis party the financier whs
iuitiated into the mysteries of the game '
the other Sunday evening. Mr. Mor- 1
gnu thought, like many others, that it
would be easy to beat the game, hut
he went away wiser and with less mou
ey. I
The best players of tlie Cuban capita!
were in the game that night, and iu the
first partido Mr. Morgan thought that
the blues looked like sure winners. He
bet 2 centens. The whites won, and
the great financier lost $10. On the
second partido he doubled his wagers,
still pinning his faith to the blues. The
\vhite3 again won. The first quniela
was called, and the banker plunged
heavily on Iran, a clever young man
who had done fine playing since his ar¬
rival from Spain. Irun was among the
• • also runs" In this mat<?b, and the
financier lost again. Again he doubled
his bets on Irun and again lost.
Then Mr. Morgan had enough. «* It is
exciting.” he remarked, "but it is not
for Americans to bet on. »*
SECRET MARCONIGRAMS.
Wliat Expert* Think ot WIrele**
Hmitgea.
The efforts which are being made by
Signor Marconi to secure the absolute
privacy of his wireless messages are
being watched with great Interest by
the various cable eompauics, says the
London correspondent of tlie Philadel¬
phia Press. Mr. Carsou, the Loudon
manager of the Anglo-American Tele¬
graph company, says that at present
K Is quite Impossible for the young in¬
ventor to guarantee any secrecy.
“Any one.” he said, “who likes to
put up n wireless telegraph apparatus
can read the messages which are beiug
transmitted provided he get* within
the range of the air waves. ft
The chief electrician of the Eastern
Telegraph company said there were
some half dozen or more systems of
wireless telegraphy being experiment¬
ed with at the present time. “A cer¬
tain amount of secrecy.” he added,
“may be attained by a careful ‘tuning’
of the instruments whereby only a re¬
ceiving apparatus which Is tuned to
precisely the same pitch as the sending
instrument will be able to get the mes¬
sage. -
WILD TOOTH PULLER.
Extraordinary Antic* of a Blood¬
thirsty Eiithnsiust in Duluth.
A Finlander named Johnson ran
amuck on tlie streets of Duluth. Minn.,
the other day with a pair of forceps
:wid before he was captured laid ex¬
tracted teeth from u dozen persons,
says the New York Times. He first
tackled six men who were in a saloon,
relieving each one of from one to three
teetli.
The next victim was an old man.
whom he knocked down and from
whose mouth he extracted two teeth.
The next victim was Mrs. Elliason,
who lives on Lake avenue. Johnson
entered her Lome, threw her down and
pulled one of her front teeth.
The police had been informed, and
they captured John-on as lie emerged
from the Elliason home. He said lie
was a dentist, but when asked to show
liis license be produced a contract to
saw wood.
CIsangre In the X ietvs of finakliobor*.
The Doukhobors. the Russian sect
with which the Canadian authorities
had so much treble at the beginning
of the winter, nave now apparently
settled doujn to become good citizens,
says tlx* Toronto correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. Dispatches from
Winnipeg state* that they have aban¬
doned the former craze, which led
them to turn tiieir horses and eattk*
loose, and are beginning to make appli¬
cations for homesteads. Some of tin*
most fanatical of tlum have purchased
fresh animals and have changed their
views entirely. They have developed
a strong trading spirit, and everything
at present points to their becoming use¬
ful settlers.
Motor Cflr.s In the German Army,
The German reichstag lias voted $70,
000 for the purchase and maintenance
of motor cars in the German army. The
French appropriation for a similar pur¬
pose was only $4,000. The German war
minister is organizing a trial of heavy
vehicles suitable for military transport
purposes which will take place toward
the end of this year.
To Cut Pulp Wood In Summer.
The experiment of running a pulp
wood camp in the woods all summer
will be tried near Gilchrist. Mich., says
the Milwaukee Seutinel.’ If the experi¬
ment is a success, it will revolutionize
the pulp wood cutting industry and
avoid the present danger of shortage
of pulp wood.

The skies grow soft and tender,
' The sun at noon is high;
The willows' silver mittens
Are peeping at the sky.
The grasses show their biadelets,
The brooks go dancing by, .
For springtime days a
The robins in the orchard
Are flying here and there;
The earth seems all awaking
With beauty sweet and rare;
It is to welcome springtime
