One of the hopeful signs of the times Is the fact that many westerners are buying farms in Maine and oc cupying and cultivating them.—Tork Transcript. The sign is.a hopeful one both for Maine and for the people who come from a distance to buy and occupy the Maine farms. It means greater prog ress and prosperity for the good old State which has long contributed so generously of its blood and bone and sinew to the building of other states and especially of the great west. The latest figures show that close to 200, 000 natives of Maine are scattered through the other states of the Union. Xo doubt there are still more who are the children of Maine-born parents. The work they have done is known to the world, and It is idle to speculate what it would have meant to Maine had they remained within the borders of the home State. In spite of their loss Maine has done very well, and its gain in population and wealth has been steady and substan tial. The sons and daughters of Maine who have remained at home have had help in their work of keeping the State at the front among the sister hood of states. If there has been little Immigration of English stock since the early part of the I9th century, other good elements have figured in the work. The Irish began to come with the beginning of railroad construction two generations ago; the war period saw the beginning of the stream of French Canadians to our factory cities, and a decade later there began the Swedish immigration which has been such a factor in the development of northern Maine. And now in recent years there has been the be ginning of a movement of population into Maine from the middle and western states. It is not yet a large movement but it is a beginning and its signifiance is not to be mistaken. We mentioned a few days ago the case of the town of Bowdoinham ivhere eight farms in one neighborhood have been sold within a few years to buyers from eight different states, and in each case the new owner Is occupying and operating the farm. This is a typical instance and con be duplicated in many Maine towns. This movement means that the so-called "abandoned farm’’ prob lem of a few years ago no longer exists. It Is not merely that the unrivaled advantages of Maine as one great summer resort are being more and more appreciated. This is bring ing an increasing multitude of people to our coast and to all parts of the interior every summer, and it means much to the general prosperity of the State. But we have now in mind the kind of immigration that is permanent in character, the Immigration that is based largely upon a more general realization of the great agricultural resources and possibilities of our State. There has been a great change in farming conditions everywhere within a generation, and nowhere has the change been greater than here in Maine. Under modern conditions farm life is a vastly more attractive thing, and with modern methods there are financial returns from Maine farming which were not dreamed of in the old dnys and which cannot be surpassed in any State of the Union. The farmers who come here from the west are finding a golden opportunity and they are teaching Maine farmers a valuable lesson which many have been too slow in learning. The Dust of Swedenborg. After a lapse of 13® years all that Is mortal;of the great, scholar and seer Emanuel Swedenborg was talien from the vault under an English church last week and placed qn a Swedish cruiser for conveyance td Sweden. It is a tardy honor Which the Swedish gov ernment 'i^_doingNip the famous son of Sweden, bufr-it Serves to draw the world’s attention -tp^he lifework, and especially to the religious teachings of the remarkable man: It is bow more than 150 years since EmanuelSs^veden borg, after having won distinction as a scholar and statesman, retired fnflih, the service of the Swedish government and entered upon what he declared to be, and what thousands have since be lieved to be, a divinely inspired mis sion. The work for which he declared himself to he divinely chosen is noth ing less than what those who accept his teachings regard as a revelation oV the underlying spiritual meaning of the Old and New Testaments. As a denominational religion, Swed enborgianism, though it has gained ac ceptance and gathered believers in practically every civilized country of the earth has not developed any numer ical imitation tn comparison with oth er religious movements which are o( no earlier beginning. Swedenborg was contemporary with Wesley, but the ex pansion of Wesleyism, as a distinct religious movement, has been much greater. There is no reason for be lieving that Swedenborg himself ever contemplated establishing a denomina tional religion. Many of those who ac cept his teachings in undoubting faith, are yet affiliated with church organiza tions other than the “New Church” or “New Jerusalem Church.” Sweden borgians generally claim that the in fluence which the teachings of the Swedish seer have exercised upon re ligious thought during the past cen tury and a half is vastly wider and more embracing than is indicated by the growth of the church that has openly accepted his interpretations as a basis of worship. It is interesting to note the impress which the writings of Swedenborg have made upon some of the world’s great minds. Elizabeth Barrett Browning said: “To my mind the only light that has been cast on the other life is found in Swedenborg’s philosophy.” The poet Coleridge said: "I can venture to assert that, as a moralist, Swedenborg is above all praise; and that as a naturalist, psychologist and theologian, he has strong and varied claims on the gratitude and admiration of the pro fessional and philosophical faculties.” Thomas Carlyle said of him: “A man of great and indisputable cultivation, strong mathematical intellect and the most seraphic turn of mind.” Hiram Powers, the sculptor, has declared: “Swedenborg is my author; all other writers (in comparison) seem moving in the dark with tapers in hand grasp ing their way, while he moves in the broad light of the sun!” Emerson's estimate of Swedenborg is generally known. So also is that of Phillips Bftooks, and a very large jiercentage of those who have gained distinction In literature in this country, from Haw thorne to Mark Twain, are known as ardent students of the Swedish seer. It is evident that the target practice of the oig fleet of battleships at &ag delena bay was a complete success. No figures are given for publication, but we are told that every one of the 16 battleships did better than its previous best record. That is a won derful piece of work. One officer re marks that “the world will be aston ished when the facts are given out.” Perhaps so, but it will take a lot to as tonish the world In the matter of American naval gunnery. The records of the past in war and peace are known to the world and American marksmanship is the high standard which other navies try in vain to at tain. The shots which hit are the only ones that count, and that is one reason why ours is more efficient than any other navy of its size in the world. And there are other reasons, too. The new state of Oklahoma started off without any provision for a state militia and the legislature does not seem disposed to make any such pro vision. A bill for raising a state militia was killed last week in the legislature through the opposition of the labor unions whose leaders feared that a militia might be used in time of strikes. This is rather an unfortu nate attitude for labor leaders to take. Moreover, the recent Nevada experi ence should have taught them that the regular army can be made use of in states that have no militias, provided that tlie governor is disposed to ask for United States troops. Nevada now has raised a state militia, as the re sult of the winter’s happenings. i They are to plant 22,000 trees in Den ver this spring—beside the streets, in the parks and on private grounds. Western cities of which Denver is the type do not do things by halves, and this evidence of civic pride and pro vision for the future cannot too highly be praised. LIGHT AND AIRY. The Rude Girl! “I wish sometimes that I could fly And soar through the air,” So quoth tlr> callow dude: Then said the maiden rude: Of flying fish I've often heard, Dot flying lobsters, on my word. Are rare, oh, very rare.” The Farmer’* Retort. “What do you call yeonr red automo bile. mister?” drawled the old fanner at tlie drawbridge. "The 'Fool Killer,” bantered the man in goggles. T call it that because it kills ad the fools who happen to cross in front of it." The old farmer cleaned bis pipe with a straw and then replied, evenly: •’That so mister? Wall, is there any chance of it blowing up and killing tlie fool inside?” Planet of Hammers. The Martians were prepared to catch the first message from the earth. "Let me see,” exclaimed the first lit tle green man, “I wonder if the first communication will be a flash, a tick or a knock.” “A knock, very likely," laughed the sec ond little green man. "you know the earih is hist full of knockers.” Which shows how wise the Martians really are. Candid Confession. “I,et meege,” said the young man- at the church festival, "the sign .says: •Strawberrv shortcake, sans.’. Sens' means without. dSwn’t it, miss?” "It does.” replied the pretty girl at the first booth. V "Well, how does it apply to the straw berrv shortcake?” "Why, it means without strawberries.” Mild Request. Mr. Stubb—1"Yes, mydear, I am going an~a trip and I shalFt send- you a uvenir rostal card from c*$ry place I dr*. Stubb—"Er—John, wouUf-tt make iv difference if instead of shnvenir stal cards vou make It souvenir jtaMal rney order*?” I Maine Gossip A Song of Thank*. Thank you. Mister April, For one sunny day— Fot a breath of blossoms All too sweet to stay. And thank you. Mister April, For the promise of the May!

Mister Anril, For the ripple of your rills— Thr mockingbird whose musie Through the woodland silence thrills— For the green fields and the meadows. And the glory of the hills! —Atlanta Constitution. It is some relief to know the fate of the Bath ship Arthur Sewall and that somebody from the crew was saved. Guy C. Emerson whom Mayor Hibbard of Boston has appointed to the impor tant position of superintendent of streets is a Maine man, a native of Or land. They have been so excited over poli tics down at Bath that they teem to have neglected the hunt for the mis creants who tried to blow up one of tlio city churches. Protoplasmic hunger, explains the editor of the Biddeford Journal, is the latest scientific definition of love. Prob ably by any other name, however, it is just as sweet. This is presidential election day for the Bowdoin boys, with nominating conventions of both parties and a gen eral election. The Republicans expect to elect their candidate about four to one. The college nines begin the real schedule this week. Bates will play Exeter Wednesday and Colby will play Kents Hill on the same day. Bowdoin, which has already had a southern trip, in which it played four games, defeat ing Brown and Princeton, will play Harvard Wednesday. The TJ. of M. boys will open their season a little later, playing Colby on Patriots’ day. An exchange calls attention to the fact that the first man killed in the Civil War was Corporal Sumner H. Needham, a native of Norway in this State. Mr. Needham was living in Lawrence, Mass., when war was de clared and was a member of the Law rence Light Infantry. Early in the spring of 1861 he enlisted in the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment and was fatally shot during the pasage of the regiment through Baltimore April 19th. His remains were taken to Lawrence and his funeral was attended with special services as are seldom accorded to any but dignitaries high in office. Both state and city governments were present. He was buried in Bellevue Cemetery, Lawrence. The city of Lawrence erected a thousand dollar monument to his memory, and gave a deed of it to his widow. Needham Post and Needham Hall in Lawrence were .named for the dead soldier. This is hut another proof of the patriotism of Maine men from the Revolutionary War down. We might add that Maine furnished at least one more member of the Sixth Massachusetts, Col. J. B. Peaks of Dover, who also participated in the Baltimore riot but was for tunately spared a military funeral. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT. The Count and His Creditors. (Biddeford Journal.) As Anna Gould has $17,000,000 in her own right, and as Prince Helie’s debts are said to total $6,000,000. his creditors are probably hoping that the family objection to the proposed marriage has been removed as reported. Keeping Cool in Maine. The Somerset Reporter has long no ticed that the summer business of Maine is always good in years of presi dential election. We can think of no reason for this unless because the heat of a political campaign drives more people than usual to seek the cool re tirement the country and seashore af fords. The Sensible Rule. (Gardiner Reporter-Journal.) The Maine colleges do not consider a student who plays base ball for money during his summer vacation a professional, and it is not considered a bar to his playing on his college team. That is the sensible view to take, of it, for it ought to make no dif ference whether he earns his money by playing hall or otherwise. Some of the other colleges have adopted the same position, and others no doubt will. A man who is a bonaflde student at college should be eligible to repre sent it in athletic games, regardless of what he has done outside of the col lege. Fighting the Moth Pest. The appropriation of $250,000 by Con gress towards the extermination of the brown-tail and gypsy moths in New England, which is assured by the action of the House last week, will be a great help in providing means for carrying on the fight in Maine against these pests. The State and town au thorities, however, cannot afford! to lessen their labors or. this account, but rather should work vrith renewed de termination to get rid of the moths before they have an opportunity to spread still farther. A quarter of a million is a generous contribution, but in view of the millions that have been spent in Massachusetts it would be unwise to anticipate too great results from this proposed action of the fed eral government. VOICES OF THE PRESS. Gen. Woodford Says that Hughes is Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, President of the Hughes National League after his attention had been called last night to a report coming from Boston that Gov. Hughes was becoming discour aged because of the lukewarmness toward his pandldacy in this state and (York Transcript.) (Brunswick Record.) no Quitter. (New York Sun.) that he was contemplating' the advis ability of withdrawing- himself as a candidate for the Republican nomina tion, made this statement:— “There is no possible foundation for such a report. Gov. Hughes is not a quitter. He has given his friends full permission to present his name to the Chicago convention. It will be pre sented and he will stay in the race until the convention nominates him or somebody else. The supporters of our friend the genial Secretary of War must be worse scared than we sup posed. They know and we know that Gov. Hughes is gaining positive strength every day. We have studied carefully the published reports from the Taft headquarters and Hughes has at least twenty-five delegates sure for him who are now claimed in the Taft column. Despite all canards and re ports we shall not lose our good tem per. We shall speak no word and write no line that will make it difficult for us to support Secretary Taft should the convention nominate him. We are loyal Republicans and follow the ilag of our party. As an old man I may be permitted to give some advice to my enthusiastic young friends on the other side. It will be more comfortable for them after the convention has nomi nated Hughes if they will say noth ing and do nothing now that will make it unpleasant for them as good Re publicans to support the Governor, as they will probably have to. This is the second signal of distress hoisted by the enemy within a week.” Women’s War on Rum. (New York World.) Illinois, under the local option law on Tuesday voted 1,500 saloons out of business and added 20 counties to the 11 which had previously declared for entire prohibition. Nearly one-third of the state is now dry. Several hun dred Nebraska townships and 19 out of 35 towns in Colorado voted against saloons. In Michigan on Monday the anti-saloon vote won in ten out of 14 counties. The progress of the prohibition wave through the states of the middle west is not less remarkable than its sweep of the south. In local option the opponents of the saloon have found their most effective weapon. It yet retains its hold in the cities. The almost uniform fate of the saloon, however, when presented as a local issue in the country districts raises the expectation that it will eventually succumb to the more slowly aroused moral sentiment of the larger centers of population. A noteworthy feature of the anti saloon crusade in the west, as was the case in the south, is the active participation of women. The Illinois church choirs in white singing before the saloon doors, the processions of Sunday school children, the solicita i tion of votes by women and their use of their carriages to convey voters to the polls, the ringing of church bells, the prayers, the doxojogy sung on the street corners—this is campaigning of a kind which has had no parallel since abolition times. A Primrose league canvass or the slffragettes storming the doors of parliament exhibit no more spectacular electoral tactics. A good deal of the spirit of ’76 ap pears to have cropped out in the Illinois women who have enlisted to conquer the demon rum. Battle of the Sexes. (Chicago Record-Herald). In a meeting of the Austin Woman’s club Monday Mrs. Plummer made a humorous criticism on the character and performances of man, who, she said, significantly, was created im mediately after the brutes. And in Currant Literature for April there is a symposium by a lot of anonymous philosophers, such as a street car con ductor, a tenement-house commis sioner and a judge—they were afraid or ashamed to give their names— who cheerfully express the opinion that women, as a sex, are, wholly destitute of honor. It is a singular freak of human nature that whenever a person be comes irritated by the character of conduct of another person the fault is ultimately attributed to the offend ing person's religion, nationality or sex. This blundering conclusion may be the result of a prejudice against a certain religion, nationality or sex, or it may be the effect of sheer shallowness and ignorance. But if it is not the result of prejudice it is sure to beget it. The harsh criticisms of women by men and men by women are to be viewed in this light. They betray an utter absence of close observation and reasoning. And where the criticisms are not jocose they are to be de precated, as tending to produce what are called men haters and women haters, and to give false ideas of life. GOSSIP OF THE GRANGES. A most enjoyable feature of the re cent Pomona meeting at Bueksport was the presentation by Worthy Mas ter Grieve, in behalf of Hancock Po mona, of a handsome badge to Past Master Hiram Harriman in token of his efficient service and the esteem in which he is held in the grange. Though taken by surprise, Mr. Harriman was at no loss for words of appreciation for the remembrance. At the last regular meeting of Ben ton Grange, arrangements were made far the holding of an all-day meeting to be held April 8 at its hall at Benton Station. The State Master C. S. Stet son, of Greene, will be present and ad dress the assembly and give instruc tions. A dinner will be served by the 'adies of the Grange. State Lecturer W. J. Thompson has been invited to be present. An invitation has been ex tended to Winslow and Victor Granges to be represented. Winslow Grange has been requested to furnish a pro gram for the occasion. 1 The last meeting in March at East Eddington Grange was an interesting one. the question for the evening being on resubimssion. It was voted to hold an all-day session, April 11, it being the 19th anniversary of this grange. J. E. McCIintock will address the meeting: subject, “The Home Mixing of Fertilizers,” with demonstration; program by the grange. April 4, Ern est Leach will open the question, “Which Has the Greater Influence, Wealth or Education?” Those who have birthdays in April will entertain, while a committee of young people will provide the remalpeder of the en tertainment.

Official list, showing the number of delegates which the different cities, towns and plantations are entitled to. 20 cities, 428 towns, and 73 plants* tions, entitled to 1323 delegates. Republican State Committee, Augusta, Maine, Feb. 20, 1908. The basis of representation in the call for the Republican State Conven tion to be held at Portland, Thursday. April 30, 1908, at 1.30 o'clock P. M. for the purpose of choosing six presi dential electors, also four delegates at-large and four alternates-at-large to attend the National Republican Convention In Chicago, June 16th, 1908, is as follows: each city, town and plantation will be entitled to one dele gate and for each 75 votes cast for the Republican candidate for Governor in 1906, an additional delegate, and for a fraction of 40 votes In excess of 75 votes a further additional delegate. That there may be no misunder standing, the secretary of the com mittee has maoe a classification of delegates based upon this representa tion. The town or plantation which threw 74 votes Is, under this call, only entitled to'tme delegate. In order to get a second delegate it must have thrown 75 votes for the Republican candidate for Governor in 1906. The fraction of 40 votes to give another delegate, must be in excess of 75 votes. It is hoped that if any errors are discovered in the list .they will be promptly reported to the secretary so that all mistakes may be corrected. S. M. CARTER, Chairman. BYRON BOYD. Secretary.

STATE HOUSE NEWS AND CHAT Commissioner Ring Pre pares Book of Reference Mr the Title of "Forest Trees of Maine.” gluHti of Ensigns Ordered For Ship’s Co., Naval Reserve*. •TATE HOU3E CALENDAR. u_t Meeting of Governor and Council TuMd>y. April 28, at 10 A. M. I The demand for forest literature and I information lias become so great in this State that Hon. E. E. Ring, State for est commissioner, will very soon have prepared a pocket manual to be enti tled “Forest Trees of Maine.” It will be a work taking about 70 pages of suita ble size to easily fit the pocket and be taken on tramps about the woods. A practical working description of the commercial trees of the State will be given. In addition pertinent facts about the State, as to its forest area, river systems, lakes, etc., will be in cluded ill the introductory pages mak ing interesting and reliable reference for all in search of such information. Cart will be taken to have the work entirely correct and Mr. Ring had the public schools in mind when lie planned the work. Arrangements have been made with Hon. Payson Smith, State superintendent of public schools, to distribute the books among the schools.

H Furred and Coated, it is a Warn ing of Trouble to Come. When it is the morning after the bight before, you do not have to look at your tongue to know that the stomach is upset, the head is aching with a dull rhythm, and that all the World looks black and dreary. It may have been lobster Newburgh, Welsh rarebit or some other tasty dish •hat looked much better at night than •he morning after. There is no need look at the tongue thermometer •hen for symptoms of trouble. You naturally go to your box of Ml-o-na atomach tablets, and with one of the little relievers bring joy and gladness the physical system. The real time to watch the tongue is Ml the time. If It is coated with a white fur, or possibly with dark trimmings, even though the stomach does not tell you by the acute pains of indigestion that it needs help, yet •he coating show's that you are get ting into a bad way and that there is need of Mi-o-na. Used at the lirst symptom of a ®°ated tongue, distress after eating, headaches, dull and lifeless feeling, flatulence, or any other of the early eyniptoms of indigestion, Mi-o-na will •trengthen the stomach muscles so t**at they will take care of all the food •hat is eaten without the slightest ®Mn or discomfort. It will increase •he flow of gastric juice so that the food digests as Nature intended it •hould, extracting the nourishment jnd strength and expelling the waste from the system without further aid. Mi-o-na is so positive, so surq^so nailable in its curative action upon flfe ■jomach that Bowditcli.

Gen. A. R. Farnhum has recently come into possession of a cane which is something of a novelty in the way of a walking stick, and is prized by him because of the fact that it was owned by his brother, William Henry Farn ham. The cane, which is simple in de sign, being square and tapering slight ly from one end to the other, was owned by Mr. Farnham when he was a student at Waterville (now Colby) College, in 1841, but the distinctive features of the stick are its decora tions. There are several prints, in cluding one of George Washington, which were cut out and pasted on the stick and there are also inscribed in Ink the names of the faculty of the college at that time and the names of the members of the class of 1841, to gether with a few records of events in the college life of the owner. After the decorations had been completed the cane was varnished, thus preserv ing the inscriptions for all time. Gen eral Farnham secured the cane of a relative in Auburn a short time ago, who had had it for a long time and at whose former home in Winthrop it had been left by the owner when he was yet a student at the college above mentioned. A few days ago the Journal printed a paragraph relative to the finding by F. E. Blaisdell, in his house on Bangor street, which was formerly the board ing house of the old Cony Female ^Academy, of a record on the under side of a shelf- bearing which stated that Thomas Little had paid John Greley $11 for labor on the house in Nov. 1827. The Thomas Little men tioned was the father of James S. Lit tle of this city, and the latter tells the following bit of a story in connection with the building in question. Mr. Little was a contractor and builder, and the contract for the _ erection of the boarding house was the first one that he secured after embarking in business. In those times a day's work was from sunrise to sunset, which allowed of some pretty long hours during the spring and early summer time, but when Mr. Little came to figure up the cost when the building was completed he found that he was $100 out in cash and also the time that he had put into the work.

Schumann-Heink’s operatic de but was made in Dresden on Sept. 7, 187$. as Azucena in Trovatore. It was a successful debut. She was in Dres den four years, singing mostly minor roles like the shepherd in Tannhauser. Her contract obliged her to also sing in church. Though she had been trained vocally, she had received little musical education, and most of her singing was by ear. The conductor of the music in church was Herr Krebs, the hus band of a famous contralto, lvrebs Michalese, the greatest Fides of her time. They were the parents of Marie Krebs, the pianist, who from 1870 to 1872 gave 200 concerts in this country. Singing the complicated church ser vices by ear was quite a different mat ter from singing in opera, and at a Corpus Christi service, between looking over the rail at the court people below and her lack of musical education, the young singer broke down in the midst of a big solo. Krebs was furious, "You wretched goose!” (Du elende Gans) he exclaimed, "you have spoiled the whole mass.” At the same time he struck her over the arm with his baton so hard a blow that the welt was visible for several days. From that moment she made up her mind that she must study, and she began taking a severe course of technical instruction with Franz Wullner. She was in Dresden four years. Then she married a retired army officer named Heink. Her marriage gave much displeasure, and she lost her Dresden engagement. After an inter val of a year she received an engage ment at the theatre in Hamburg. The next five years were most unhappy for her. Her marriage did not turn out well, her remuneration was small and the manager, knowing her plight, took advantage of her poor circum stances and obliged her not only to sing in opera but to appear in farce and comedy. She had three children, and was expecting a fourth when tho tenor, Botel, heard her sing. He was soon to have a benefit performance at Kroll’s in Berlin, and being struck with her voice and acting, asked her if she would take part in his performance. He told her he could not^pay- her—not even heir traveling expenses—-tiut that it would be a good opportunity for her to secure a hearing in Berlin. She con sented and borrowing enough money from a friend to travel third-class to the German capital, she started in the night train sitting up all night on the hard bench of a third-class compart ment. She arrived in Berlin early in the morning. The rehearsal was not until 10 o’clock, but she felt that she could not afford to go to a hotel to rest, so she walked to the Thier Garten and sat there until rehearsal time. When she entered KroII's, Botel rushed up to her exclaiming: “Weil, you really have come. AVe had given you up. Why didn’t you go to the hotel, as I told you to?” She explained that she had not felt able to afford it. “Why,” he said, “so long as you are here, you are my guest." Relating the occurrence, Mmc. Schumann-Heink always adds, “To think that I had been so economi cal and made myself so uncomfortable for nothing!” In the evening she sang Azuccna with overwhelming success. She was immediately engaged to give a series of performances the following summer. Of course, the director at Hamburg heard of the furore she had made and some time after her fourth child had been born he came to her lodgings and asked her if she would sing Fides the following night. She knew she would have no chance to rehearse, but for years she had been begging him in vain to let her appear in some impor tant role, and this was her opportunity. So she went on without a rehearsal and scored a tremendous success. At the time, one of the most noted prima donnas in Germany was a mem ber of the Hamburg company. She was so piqued at Mme. Heink’s sucees.; that at noon one day she sent word that she would be unable to sing Car men that night. The manager des patched a messenger to Mme. Heink and asked if she would take the role. Mme. Heink not only had never sung the role, she never had even studied it, but she had often heard the opera and with her facility for picking up music by ear, she had acquired the role vo cally and by watching other prima donnas she had learned the “business.” Therefore she consented to help the management out, went on in the even ing and scored a veritable triumph. The next week she sang Ortrud in Lohengrin. The following mqntjp. she learned■ and sang.. three new. .votes. Favorita. A.4e*»mv l».=Tt1eftsU.ii*erL.Jlmr neris in Aida, besides singing 1!- times in her regular repertoire. She r;ow re ceived u considerable increase in her salary and filled many engagements for concerts and for star performances at other opera houses. At this time, too, she separated from her husband, afterward marrying (lie actor, Carl Schumann, and taking her present stage name. A success at Bayreuth in 1S96 led to her engagement in London and tliis country, where she made her dehut in Mine Schumami-Hcink has a superb voice of both mezzo and contralto compass. Iter Ortrud, Brun gano, Walt ran to and Erda are lior most notable achievements. She is al so a very popular concert singer and a splendid mother to her eight children to whom she is absolutely devoted. MAINE FARMING NOTES. E.
