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 first 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 suit set forth that no warning was wounded. $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. CHICAGO. Aptil 18 Mayor Harri son lias received a letter which made film sit up straight in the chulr. it Informed him that Chicago is being considered an the spot in \Vhivh to build h “pyramid of labor" a gigan tic building to cost $50,000,000. “ft is to have several new feature-s about It," said the Mayor after read ing the letter .t second time, “and is to be 1.200 feet high, and -’’.here the Mayor stopped short because the proposed height i. an even 1,000 feet more than the building ordinance al lows. The proposal, which it Is said will be financed by ar. Eastern person of wealth who does not want his name mentioned until later, reached the Mayor with a set of formal but tenta tive blue print plans of the pyramid and certain specifications. Acres and acres of land in Chicago’s crowded district figure In the proposals. Tire bewildering project is disclos ed in a communication from Anson M. Smith, of Now York. He deals in securities and has an office in the Metropolitan Life Building there, ac cording to the letter-head. Here are some of the proposals: It Is proposed to spend $50,000,000 In building and endowing a monu ment to labor, to take the form of a great temple of ait, learning and ar chaeology. The time of about one thousand workmen will be required for a: leas' ten years on the work. Besides the pyramid there are to be constructed on the grounds -un less by some chance there should be n hitch in the plans—a replica of the Roman Coliseum, the Parthenon, tiro leaning tower of Pisa; also a mu se um for the exhibition of things his torical, a stadium, an auditorium and a library buildhu . For the benefit of the populace two largo hotels will be placed on the grounds. “I notice the Metropolitan's going to sing one opera in English this year." said the fat man at the cigar stand. "That’ll be nice. 1 never could] quite enjoy healing a lot of gurgles and googles in Dago or Dutch.'’ “Don't get all heated up in ad vance,” returned the thin man with the. straw hat. “If you think you can go to the opera and understand all 4he words, you're betting on a busted flush. "Stop and think a minute! When the church quartet bursts into its Easter anthem can you tell whit 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 its usual tra-la-la, did you ever absorb a syllable? No! “Then why 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 your enjoyment of opera. The music 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 of one of the most popular operas of a recent season. The so prano has just swallowed a dose of rough-oh-rats prepared for a friend. She pauses, looks surprised and pained, and carols a few lop notes o express consternation. "‘What was that?’ she trills, to translate it literally. Was it water? No, it wasn’t water. It didn’t taste i like water. It tasted nasty. Yes, it was poison. I feel it in my insides. | It gives me the trouble like the sea sickness, only far more so.’ "Then she rushed down stage, grabs the tenor around the knees arid an nounces: While She Awaits “Death.” ■ “ T am dying. I am dead. I can see visions of the little cottage where 1 was born and where my mother raises sheep, goats and poultry. While I am waiting for the poison to do its | deadly work 1 will sing you a song of \ my childhood.’ “And she does. She sings It ad | libitum, with all kinds of runs and j cadenzas and hemi-demi-seml-qua- vers. And it's beautiful. It really : s. You’d think she were an archangel singing an anthem from heaven—if you didn’t understand the words. B it once you begin to get the drift of the conversation grand ope fa becomes a joke. “That's why the great com pan! s stick to Italian. Every now and then some prlma 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 table.” $4 Silk Shirts $2. 98 ADG of firm liutmlai striped sill, One style lias attached laydown le habntai hemstitched collar cuffs to match; the other style detachable turnover collar In self “rlat Coat style, aide pocket, at- ed Cuffs.

Silent prayers offered by his wife and mother that Judge Newman might free J. E.
