ip the audience and cried out:
Why, I can lick you myself.”
several remarks passed between the

Ab\\ . ORT, April 18. Twenty-one
trunks passed through the custom
house for Mrs*. Klsie French Vander
bilt, just borne from the Capitals of
Europe and from the Nile. They are
s ;iid to contain extraordinarily beau-
tihil costumes for morning, afternoon
and evening functions.
.VIi s. Vanderbilt has long been noted
as one of the most beautifully gowned
women here.
Me and Mrs. .1. B. Crowley, 88 Loomis
Avenue, filed ^uits for $50,000 damages
each with the City Court to-day against
the Georgia Railway and Banking Com
pany for injuries sustained when they
were struck by a Georgia Hall road pas
senger train at a grade crossing on
Moreland Avenue December 3. 1913.
They told the court that they were
walking arm in arm toward their home
and crossed the track knowing that if
the train had been on time it had
passed that point half an hour before.
On the firm track, they said, there
were some box cars that obscured their
view of the tracks beyond, and as they
stepped clear of the first track onto the
second they were struck by the speed
ing engine and hurled several feet.
As a result of the accident Crowley s
right foot was amputated and Mrs.
Crowley was injured internally.
The auk set forth that no warning
was sounded.

“It is to have several new features
about It,” said the Mayor after read-

“I notice the Metropolitan's going
to sing one opera in English this
year,” said the fat man at the cigar

the straw hat. “If you think you can
go to the opera and understand nil
ihe words, you're betting on a busted
tlush.
“Slop and think a minute! When
i the church quartet bursts into its
j Easter anthem can you tell what
: they're singing about ? Not unless
! you follow the hymn book. When the
merry, merry chorus in a musical

with it» u$ual tra-la-la, did you ever
.absorb a syllable? No!
"Then wffiy expect to understand
English words sung by Italians. Ger-

two? It won’t be the real thing.
Music’s the Main Thing.
"But don't let this interfere with
j your enjoyment of opera. The music
I will be just as sweet, and music is
99 4-5 per cent of an opera, anyway.
And suppose you could understand the
words, you'd be sorry afterward.
"Take a literal translation of the
libretto o? one of the most popular
I operas ot a recent season. The so
prano has just swallowed a dose of
rough-on-rats prepared for a friend.

pained, and carols a few top notes :o

"‘What was that.” she. trills, to

: No, it wasn't water. It didn't taste
like water. It tasted nasty. Yes, it
was poison. I feel it in my insides.

sickness, only far more so.'
"Then she rushed down stage, grabs
ihe tenor around the knees and an
nounces:
While She Awaits “Death."
“ I am dying. I am dead. 1 can
see visions of the little cottage where
1 was born and wire re my mother
raises sheep, goats and poultry. While
, 1 am waiting for the poison to do l;s
deadly work I will sing you a song of
my childhood.’
“And she does. She sings it ad

vers. And it's beautiful. It really : *».
You'd think she were an archangel
singing an anthem from heaven—if
you didn't understand the words. Bit

joke.
"That's why the great companies
stick to Italian. Every now and then
some prima donna comes out strong
for opera in English, for any old in
terview is good advertising. But you
don’t notice the impresarios losing
any sleep, do you? No: grand opera
in English is like watching a magician
from behind the scenes. You don't
see the magic. You just .see him take
the rabbits out of the hole in the
i table.”
