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. $50,000,000 Pyramid as Memo rial to Workmen Promised By Rich Easterner. If You Knew What All That Fine Singing Was About It Might Not Charm.

Mayor Hard ison has received a letter which made him sit up straight in the chair. It I Informed him that Chicago is being | considered us the spot in which to | build a "pyramid of labor” a gigan tic building to cost $50,000,000. “It is to have several new features about It,” said the Mayor after read- “an*l here “I notice the Metropolitan's going to sing one opera in English this year,” said the fat man at the cigar 9tand. “That'll be nice. 1 never could quite enjoy hearing a lot of gurgles and googles in Dago or Dutch.” "Don't get all Low. round-neck waists also.

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 •comedy gallops down to the footlights 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- | mans, French folk and a Spaniard or 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.

"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.

You'd think she were an archangel singing an anthem from heaven—if you didn't understand the words. Bit opee you begin to get the drift of the can versa t ion granC opera becomes a 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.” VJ ADE of firm habutai striped silk ‘ 1 One style lias attached laydown white habutai hemstitched collar with cuffs to match; the other style Inis detachable turnover collar in self material.
