rWBITTEX FOB THE DISPATCH.!
FAYETTE SpeINGS, October 2. "This is
the way to Jumonville's grave, but it's a
bad piece of road and you'll have to leave
your horses at the top of the last hill and
foot it through the woods for a quarter of a
mile, because there's only a cowpath after
that, and it lies part of the way in the bed
of the run, bnt the run's dry now, so you
can walk on the stones." This from the
bright little mountain lad-who was piloting
us from the "Washington Spring road to the
secluded glen where the gallant young
Frenchman, whose death was long the theme
of song and story, has lain undisturbed
since that memorable 28th of May, 17M,
when "Washington began bis military career
and practically opened the ball of the
French and Indian war by surprising and
capturing his hidden camp in this wilder
ness ravine.
Jumonville was killed at the first re, and
ten of his men fell by his side All of the
survivors were captured by "Washington and

his Indian allies except one fleet-footed Ca
nadian, who escaped and carried the tidings
of the disaster to Fort Dnquesne.
"We followed our little guide through the
woods in Indian file, clambering across
fallen trnnks and dodging overhanging
boughs, recalling, as we picked our way. a
visit made to this romantio spot more than
20 years ago, and wondering how the scene
was impressing certain young people in our
party to whom we had many a time and oft
descanted upon the weird and solemn grand
eur of these primeval trees, beneath whose
shadows it was twilight at noonday,
and where a Sabbath stillness reigned per
petual; where maze after maze ot feathery
ferns grew with almost tropical luxuriance
through which one must tread warily for
fear of stepping upon "that terrible serpent
.with the tiger's skin aud the castanets on
the end of its tail,"" which is a habitant of
these mountains and makes its w inter
quarters in Rattlesnake Lodee, a mile or so
away. Here and there along tbe pathway
were vistas, or bits, as artists say, at ex
quisite beauty, but, instead ot penetrating
deeper into the gloom ot the forest as afore
time, the way seemed to grow brighter as we
proceeded, and we began to doubt our own
memories and the sagacity of our guide, but
the little fellow said he was certain sure we
were going straight to tbe place, and added
encouragingly.
DESECBATKTO A HEBO'S GBAYE.
"It isn't much to look at now, for a good
bit of the timber's been cut down. The
hogs run through here and root up the
ferns, and the boys from the Soldiers Or
phans' School at Dunbar's Camp come over
here on Saturdays and scatter the stones
from the grave. "Why, just a couple of
weeks ago, some of them tore down the cross
frcm the top of tbe pilel"

liness and reverence, causing each to bear in
mind this maxim: "He who respects not
the resting place of the dead, will be found
not to respect the rights of the living."
"We keptonour way.and sure enough, with
the sunlight streaming upon it, and bare of
moss and vine and fern, and partly thrown
down, was the once picturesque cairn, from
the foot of which, in the long ago, we had
gathered partridge berry vine and Bobin
Hood, carefully preserving it to this day, in
memory of tbe spt where was fired the "first
shot of the war which resulted in the domi
nation forever of the English-speaking race
on this continent. Some of the stateliest
trees that had stood lor more than a century
like grim sentinels ubout the grove have
been felled, probably for fence rails or fire
wood. On several ot the stumps 150 rings
are distinctly marked, registering a growth
', of VPy vears- Surely, with timber,
tinjrsr everywhere on this mountain, these
pyne might have been spared.
The young artists of our party finished
several hasty sketches just as the shadows
began to fall, and we reluctantly turned our
footsteps toward the highway, earnestlv
hoping that some of the public spirited citi
zens of Fayette county will unite to pre
serve this memorable and still charming spot
from further desecration.
It is this and other sites,hallowed by deeds
of valor and self-sacrifice during the history
of the last 20 years of the colonies, that lend
to this whole region a fascination indepen
dent of its grand mountain scenery and its
revivifying air, and which awaken
a more general and lasting interest
than the superannuated innkeeper's lore
of the palmy days of the National
Pike, what time Andiew Jackson took
whisky straights at Chalk Hill or Henry
Clay played poker till I o'clock A. m. at
the Old Stone House, or Dr. Braddee
robbed the United Stales mail at Turkey
Foot, or Jenny Lind sang like a lark with
the landlord's daughter at Farmington.
They are entertaining anecdotes and stories,
still they are but local gossip about famous
people who passed to and fro, "Will-o'-the-Wisp
like, over the great highway stories
of yesterday, signifying nothing.
But tbe story of Jumonville's grave,
Fort Kecessuy, Dunbar's Camp and Brad
dock's grave, these are a part of the history
ol three nations and they are a part also of
the history of a man, who, taken all in all,
was the greatest and best of his time.
THE GBEAT PIKE.
The mountain roads that branch off from
the pike are so narrow that in many places
vehicles cannot pass each other without one
or the other turning into the woods. On
our return we met a gentleman in a buggy,
who, to let us go by, obligingly drove his
horse up a bank several feet high, at the im
minent risk of an upset.
Atiour horses turned eastward into the
pike at tbe summit, and tbe wooded
mountains rose spur after spur before us,
we rere reminded of an exclamation made
at this point, long ago, by a dear little girl
now at rest among the delectable mountains
of immortality. As she .stood up in the
wagonette 'to view the glorious landscape
she said : "Oh, see the pike I It looks like
a big white cable stretched over the tops of
the trees, with the other end pushed intothe
sky." "We can find now no more apt de
scription of the famous road as It stretches
away toward Cumberland and is lost in the
bine of the horizon.
Major "Washington was but 22 years old
when he won his first victory by tfie capture
of Jumonville's party, and it ib rather sad
dening to follow him, flushed as he was
with his triumph, to the little stockade fort,
hastily built by his jaded and harrassed
soldiers, and named Fort Necessity, from
the pinching hunger the men endured
while at work upon it As we wandered
about it this beautiful October day, trying
to define the exact line of earthworks and
went stumbling through the tall swamp
grass that covers the ground, we came upon
a rod or more of the embankment, which
was all we conld be certain was a part
of the original earthwork, though Mr.
Fncenbaker, on whose farm it is located,
says the entire diamond-shaped inclosure,
about 100 feet long, is still plainly visible
when thti grass is short, except the eastern
end, which is crossed by the lane and run.
A thorn bush, full of red berries, is growing
in the western angle, and near that the
trunk of a dead tree stands white and ghost
like. Some years ago a society of gentlemen
from TJmontown laid tbe foundation stone
for a monument in the center of the plot,
with appropriate ceremonies, but the super
structure has never been erected, and treas
ure seekers have pried the stone from its
bed, and it now lies on the surface, a melan
choly reminder of the society's infirmity of
purpose.
A MCTURE OP THE PAST.
"With the sky so blue above us, it was
hard to picture the devoted baud fighting
here all day long in the sullen rain, till
with both strength aud ammunition ex
hausted they were compelled to surrender to
a superior force. It was hard to picture the
unlucky Van Braum bungling the transla
tion of the'twice modified articles of capitu
lation, by the light of a flickering candle, in
the midst of a pelting storm. And hard
also, to picture the little garrison marching
out of the fort in the early morning, with
drums beating and colors living, though
their hearts were heavy and their faces wan.
It may be that the wave of adversity
which here passed over the youthful com
mander, chastened bis elated spirit and
helped to prepare.him for his high career.
A mile and a half west of Fort Necessity,
on the National pike, is the supposed site of
Braddock s grave A neat white fence sur
rouuds it and the inclosure is filled with a
clump of fine young evergreens and de
ciduous trees. To the late Josiah Sing, ot
Pittsburg, belongs the honor of having
beautified and rescued it from oblivion.
General Braddock wished not to survive
his defeat, and against his will was carried
from tbe field. "When the little cavalcade
which bore his litter reached the point at
the meadows where he is supposed to have
been buried, he became too feeble to proceed
further. "Washington and the faithful
Stewart, who remained constantly at his
side, saw that the end was near, but Genera
Braddock seemed not yet to realize it, and
turning to them exclaimed: "Who would
have thought it I" Only a few hours before
he expired he said hopefully: ""We shall
better know how to deal with them another
time."
"Retracing our way westward, we turn once
more into the "Washington Spring road and
keep on till we reach Dunbar's Knob. Here
the incompetent and tardy Colonel Dunbar
lingered till too late to support Braddock,
and, when news of the shameful defeat
reached him, destroyed all the artillery; am
munition and valuable military stores that
had been collected at his camp with so much
difficulty, and fled toward Ft. Cumberland,
without even attempting to cover the retreat
of Braddock's shattered array.
From the knob that still bears the name
of Dunbar's Camp there is a magnificent
prospect, some 30 miles in extent a peace
ful, pastoral landscape. Turning our backs
upon the miles of plain, dotted over with
grazing meadow, stately grove and farm and
town and hamlet, the Cumberland Mount
ains rise, range beyond range, before us till
we can scarcely tell which is mountain and
which is sky.
THE SHADES OF DEATH.
"While we are idling up here and filling
our lungs with the health-giving ozone, a
rumor comes from New York that a Wall
street syndicate contemplate the building of
a railroad through this interesting region,
and that soon the shrill whistle of the loco
motive will reverberate through the soli
tudes where the strokes from the axes of
Washington's pioneers echoed as they
blazed the first road through "The Shades
ol Death."
Mr Shriyer Stewart, owner of vast tracts
of mountain land, is said to have already
granted right of way through 1,000 acre's
and to have donated all the timber needed
for ties in laying the tracks over the same.
Other far-seeing men are following his ex
ample of liberality, and the road will prob
ably be under way in tbe near future. The
route will require some bold and difficult
engineering, but the valuable resources of
the territory which the new road will make
available justify the undertaking.
With this additional feeder and outlet for
the grand coke and iron industries already
flourishing in the county, their increased
prosperity seems assured.
With tbe prospect of this great opening
up, we feel like making a most earnest ap
peal to the public spirit and local pride of
Fayette's best citizens to preserve, as well
as may be, the historic shrines within her
borders.
Leave it not for the lover of the pictur
esque or the student of history, who makes
a pilgrimage hither to replace grave stones
and finger boards with his pious hands, or

THE.
A-FEW EXCEPTIONS
Taken by Bessie Bramble to the
Opinions of Men and "Women on
A SUBJECT FULL OP INTEREST.
Thej Treat Too Lightly the Question of
What They-Would Do
IP THEIR SEXES TVERE EETERSED
iwmrrzir Ton thx dispatch.
The articles written by famous literary
women, as to what they would do or not do
if they were men, were surpising, but when
it came the turn for celebrated men to sav
what they would do if they were women, it
was even more amazing. In her answer
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, while relating what
she would do if a man, shows exactly what
she most longs for as a woman to make her
happy. She wants a husband to be more
gallant and attentive to his own wife than
to any other woman to make the happiness
of his home the chief ambition of his life
to write no letters to anyone, save Lis wife,
that the whole world might not read. Very
sage advice, too, that most men
should make a note of and consider
and be wise. Then if she were a
anal she would rule the home, not by phy
sical supremacy, but by force of character.
This teems to indicate that Sister Wilcox
does not believe in marriage as a free and
equal relationship, but rather in the decay
ing doctrine of the supremacy of sex, where
the husband is head ot the house and the
wife is subject to his will. Now we venture
to sav that there is but little content or real
felicity in any marriage where such ruling
prevails. A good man in these days, who
loves his wife and desires her happiness,
repudiates any such doctrine in practice,
whatever he may hold in theory. He is as
devoted to maintaining her dignity and
equal rights as to his own. Under the sway
ot mutual love there is no desire to domi
neer on the part of either husband or wife,
but rather a disposition to give way.
Moreover, a man may have great force of
character and, capacity to manage a Stand
ard Oil Company, or have supreme charge
of a Braddock steel works, or, for that
matter, run the affairs of a whole country,
but yet be a failure as head in his own
house. Many men of highest virtue- have
tried it and failed. Even our own beloved
and sainted Lincoln could not by force of
character secure such supremacy, while
Brother Blaine, as the story goes, who
makes so high a record in the political man
agement of tbe State, is said to have little or
no influence in domestic affairs.
tactobs nr -woman's success.
Fanny Davenport's idea of being a man
is that hecanmore easily attain to high
success in the dramatic or other professions
than a woman. To him the world is wide
and open; he has no hampering barriers to
overcome, no social impediments to over
ride, no certificates of highest character
to submit He goes upon his own
merits mainly, while she is subjected
to severest criticism as to beauty, dress and
abilitv. It may be said, too. that the ad
miration and approval of the Prince of
Wales is a large factor in the success of a
woman on the stage, as witness Mrs. Lang
try, who has raked in, it is said, nearly
81,000,000 of American money on that score
and on her reputation as a professional
beauty, where women with greater intellect
and talent have tailed to climb the giddy
heights of fame or to achieve great fortunes.
In view of all this, it is little wonder that
Miss Davenport feels bitter, especially when
the domestic career of the great beauty has
been as little to be proud of as her stage
gains in cash have been great.
Mrs. Frank Leslie if a man would, as
she confesses, greatly enjoy his free oppor
tunities in business, and would endeavor to
live up to a woman's ideal of a good man.
Considering tbe great advantages that Mrs.
Leslie admits she already possesses as a
woman, viz.: "an outlet for energy" "a
voice in the ear of the world," and "an in
fluence beyond the walls of home," in addi
tion to friends and fortune, it is surprising to
those whose limits are narrower, whose op
portunities are contracted by poor pay and
hard work whose talents have had no
chance for play, that she, with apparently
all of the good things the gods provide,
should still long for a man's chances in the
world. But it even she, with all herwealth
of privileges, still complains of lack of free
dom, how much more reason have millions
of women to feel bitter over the irony of fate
which compels them to live lives without a
firospect ot advancement, without a hope of
nxury, with no capital to begin with,
and no time from dreary dailv toil
and poverty to secure the education for
which they so ardently long. Shut up in
our homes are many discontented women,
who feel in themselves the power to achieve
success in some pursuit for which they have
capacity and an ardent, longing desire, but
by the prejudices of the world, the sneer of
Mrs. Grundv, the conventionalities of so
ciety, the cares of housekeeping, they are
debarred from doing what nature and inborn
taste seem to dictate. Countless bad house
keepers there are, thousands ol miserable
cooks and
poob, shiftless women;
who are failures in what they are told is
their sphere, who. in other pursuits, might
find work for which they were by heaven
endowed, and which they could perchance
do well. Poor teachers, wretched house
keepers, those who fall short oi
their calling in many ways
are not to much so for lack
of education, but from their incapacity and
want of adaptability. The superintendent
of a training sohool for nurses says: "We
can train these women for nurses, we can
teach them everything to be known in the
business, but after all is said and done, it is
only the born nurse who" achieves marked
success.
It may be the same with husbands. Those
born with the tact and qualifications to
make a wife happy, generally know how to
do so, while others with the best intentions
fail in just-the little things that women love.
Mrs. Cnster evidently has this in mind,
when she says, if she were a man, she would
make it her 'highest pleasure to make a wife
happy by constant demonstrations of love.
Mrs. Mary J. Holmes conveys the same
idea, when she remarks that, if she were a
man and had a wife, she would try to be
as attentive to her, as though she were the
wife of some other man. This unanimity by
women of genius and sense on this point
shows pretty plainly that men, as husbands,
are apt to be careless and inattentive to
those who would most value and appreciate
their devotion.
But if most of the answers of these gifted
women to the question, "What are some of
the things you would do, or not do, if you
were a man," were perhaps a little disap
pointing to their many admirers and sisters,
the replies of tbe distinguished literary men
to the question of what they would doif they
were women were not less remarkable
for lack of instruction and point of interest
Bnrdette would be a helpless, lazy, ignorant,
useless girl of whom nothing could be re
quired. One of those great useless lumps
of women who are a drag and a burden upon
those connected with them all their lives
long. According to Brother Burdette they
have tbe best of all that is going, and would
have a special bliss in being spared the com
pany of the "monter man."
Joaquin Miller has evidently a poor
opinion of the Bisters. He thinks tbey
spend their days in "gallivanting" the
streets, annoying the drygoods clerks and
thinking ot nothing but flirtations
and fig leaves from morning until
night He further avers that there is
no evidence extant to show that either
God or man has ever had a chance to rest
since a woman was created. The picture he
presents of the poor brethren Is truly a
sorry one, while the greatest boon he seems
to ask for them is for women to be quiet in
word and deed; and dress. It is greatly to
be feared that Brother Miller and the other
good brethren, like unto him, will haye
A STILL HAEPER TIME
In days to come, 'for there Is little chance
PJp?TSBTTE(3 - , DISPATCH,
that the dear sisters will ever be greater in
word and deedthan at present In fact, tbe
signs of the times are that they will make a
good deal more noise In the world in the
future than thev have In the past The
dress and the demeanor, tbe flirtations and
the fig leaves of the "garrulous parrots,' as
he calls them, are what seem to disturb
Brother Miller's equanimity with regard to
the sisters, but we can comtort him with no
hope of a rest from them until he goes
hence, where only is there rest for tbe weary.
Women are discovering more and more
new uses for their tongues, and pens, and
talents. Theyare developing more physical
force for "gallivanting" and "going on,
and Instead of leas attention to dress they
are giving more to it in order to have, just
what Brother Miller would have, more of
health, and comfort, and comeliness."
But while the talented Joaquin was some
what rough on the women, Chauncey Depew
gives it as his experience that tbey have
minds as vigorous as tho-e of men, and what
they most urgently need is education, and if
he were a woman he would strain every
nerve and make any sacrifice to obtainit
But while Brother Depew urges education
so strongly, it remained for Admiral Poiter
to advocate lor women weak-mindedness and
iaziness. If he were a woman, he would
show sweetness of temper, a loving heart,
and an absence of all strong-mindedness.
Woman, as he seems to think, was made
not to work, but to "charm man in his
hours of ease," and be a clinging, depend
ent, guileless creature, who should spend
most ot her time in sitting upon her hus
band's knee.
Dr. Talmnge declares in the most positive
manner his detestation of an effeminate
man and a masculine woman. It would be
entertaining to know just what he means by
a "masculine woman." Does he take the
same view as Dr. Dix, that college training
will make a good, sweet girl unwomanly aud
that she will grow to have what "seems a
man's soul staring at you domineeringly
and Insultingly from a woman's forehead. '
This seems to be holy terror ever before the
mind of Dr. Dix, and yet, notwithstanding
the girls have got into Columbia College,
and are to be educated just as are tbe boys
in opposition to which he has wasted so
much argument and eloquence. Oh, these
dearly beloved brethren, bow sadly anxious
tbey are to keep women within the bounds
marked ont for them by the prejudices and
narrow notions handed down from days of
barbarism. Judging by the manner in
which they keep hammering away at the
subject, it might be thought that every
blessed woman was everlastingly trying to
climb over the fence set around her, and
had to be continually thrust back and be sat
down upon hard.
asking foe paeticulaes.
Who are the "masculine women" who
are held up as such frightful ex
amples to their sisters? If the dear
brothers would mention a few of them
for our warning and instruction, it would
perhaps save many from following in their
footsteps. Do they mean the women who
have gone into the pulpits to preach and to
teach? Do tbey mean those who have been
admitted to the bar? Do they mean Frances
Willard, who is the head ot the W. O.T.U.,
or Mrs. Stanton, or the Women in Kansas
or Wyoming? Dr. Mary Walker is about
the only one who presents a masculine ap
pearance, but that only goes as far as dress.
Dr. Mary is as devoted to the principle that
such dress is what will insure "peace, plen
ty and calm, sweet health," not only for
women, but men as well, that she is full of
tbe courage of her convictions as was old
John Brown, whose soul is marching on.
Those who know her, and especially the old
soldiers, speak of her as every inch a good
woman.
Another favorite writer, Edgar Saltus, ad
vocates laziness and silence in women. If he
we're a woman he would do nothing impor
tant would wear no corsets and simply
live to charm and be silent
But with all that these famous literary
men have said as to what they would do if
they were women, not one remarked that he
would raise a large family not one said he
would like to keep house not one said, if
he were a woman, he would be the ideal wife
or mother. But while the most of them
treated the question facetiously, still there is
a good deal of instruction to be gained from
them by women, who can see behind the re
turns. They touch on the whole woman
question. It is somewhat strange that not
one of them said, if I were a woman I would
stay at home and darn the
stockings, or always be arrayed in charming
style and meet my husband with a smile.
It is a little strange that none of them said
he would like to spend his days in mission
ary work and find his reward in heaven
No one expressed any desire to be a society
girl and to bave a chaperone. Nor to be a
teacher nor to be a doer of great and good
deeds nor to be the writers of powerful
books like those of Madame De Stael, or
George iiliot, or Sirs, btowe, or Mrs, Hum
phrey Ward. No one professed any desire,
if a woman, hardly one evinced any desire
to be of that class "who will do her husband
good and not evil all the days of his life
whose heart doth safely trust in
her who considereth a field and
buyeth it and planteth a vineyard
who openetb her mouth with wisdom, and
her tongue is the lawot kindness; whose
children arise up and call her blessed, and
her husband also he praiseth her give her
of the fruit of her hands, and let her own
works praise her in the gates." If they had
only told women what tbey consider best in
them to do seriously, it might have been a
sermon that would have done good. But
by treating it flippantly, as most of them
did, it was not hard to see that they have
not all yet outgrown the old-time idea that
they constitute "the superior sex."

in the price of each piano, at tbe same time
he gives everyone an opportunity to get a

cess. And perhaps I may have something
novel to tell concerning the practical side of
the representations at the Grand Opera; so,
at the persuasion of a friend who has been
for many years past occupied with journal
ism, I will try to say some"thing which, I
trust, will be found worth the reading.
I made my first appearance on any stage
in Mareh last at the Grand Opera, as the
heroine of Gounod's opera of "Borneo and
Juliet." When I first finished my studies
with Madam Marches! some months before,
the managers of the opera accorded me a
hearing, but refused then to engage me be
cause, as they said, I did not sing in the
French style. They told me to go at once
in search of a French professor of vocaliza
tion and to study with him for some
months, and they would then give me an
other trial.
Bnt I did not take their advice. It was
M. Gounod himself who taught me the role
of Juliet. I studied with him incessantly
for a month before making my debnt, and
he kindly consented to preside over the first
rehearsal with full orchestra, which was ac
corded me.
The musicians of the orchestra-on that oc
casion paid me the great compliment of lay
ing down their instruments and applauding
me at the conclusion of my grand aria. This
1 acknowledged by coming forward and bow
ing. Madam Bitt, the wife of one of the
directors,who was present in tbe auditorium,
came behind the scenes at the conclusion of
the act
"It is an unheard of thing for our mn
sicians to applaud a debutante, Made
moiselle," she said; "and I think you ought
to recognize the fact in some special way.
So, at the conclusion of the performance,
I made a little speech of thanks in French
to them, which apparently gave great satis
faction. AS EXCLUSIVE THEATEB.
It is contrary to all rules of the French
opera for an untried foreign singer to be per
mitted to make bis or her first appearance
on any stage on these formidable boards.
"The Opera is not a singing school," is the
phrase generally hurled at the head of
aspiring novices. A long course of prelim
inary experience in the opera houses of
Vienna, or Italy, or England, is considered
necessary in such cases. With native-born
vocalists the case is naturally different
They are trained in the traditions of, the
establishment, and educated by professors
of the Paris Conservatoire, and are there
fore acceptable to the operatic managers of
Paris as soon as their studies are finished.
But the fact that I, Ving an American, had
never before ap; eared in opera on any
staee, was greatly against me.
When, some months, earlier, I was en
gaged at the Opera Comique and was to have
my debut in a revival of Bizet's opera of
the "Pearl Divers," M. Halevy, who has
charge of the estate ot the deceased com
poser, positively refused to let me appear in
that opera, saying that "the glory of Bizet
was not to be entrusted to the hands of a
debutante."
Bnt, fortunately for me, M. Gounod was
most kind in his acceptance of me, both for
Juliet and Marguerite. I owe much
to the lessons of the great composer himself.
Then the De Beszke brothers, both Jean and
Edouard, were also kindness itself in giving
me the benefit of their consummate knowl
edge of stage business and their great experi
ence of dramatic effect At every rehearsal
they took infinite pains- to give me such
hints and directions about acting as my
total Inexperience oi the stage rendered in
valuable. I also studied the role of Juliet thoroughly
with M, Pluque, the leader of the ballet at
tbe Grand Opera and the first professor of
operatic acting in Paris. He was the teacher
ot Mme. Bose Caron and of Miss Ella Bus
sell, both celebrated for their dramatic suc
cesses in opera, as well as of countless others
less known to tame. For it must be compre
hended that the style of acting on the lyrio
stage differs in many essential respects from
that adopted on the lyrio boards. The gest
ures are not only lareer and more marked.
but must be so timed as to accompany, so to
speak, the effects of a song. It is therefore
worse than useless for the students of stage
singing in Paris to take lessons, as some of
them do, from tbe professors or the perform
ers of the Comedic-Francais. I studied also
with M. Pluque the role of Marguerite in
"Faust" and I expect to profit by his les.
sons as long as I remain in Paris.
A VAST STAGE. -The
first thing tbat struck me when I
walked upon the boards of the Grand Opera
was the vast size of tbe stage. It is fully as
large as the auditorium itself, and can ac
commodate without crowding 1,200 persons.
Another great peculiarity is the great slope
ot tbe stage, it iooes perfectly nat from
the front, bnt rises at the back to half the
height of ode of the lobbies beyond the level
at the footlights. -Not having taken this
difference into consideration 1 bruised mi
self severely on the occasion of my first ap
pearance in "Faust" When Marguerite
falls senseless in the church scene, my fall,
calculated for a flat floor, brought me so
violently into contact with the slope of the
boards as to half stun me for a moment.
The dressing rooms of the performers are
far from being very luxurious. They are
of good dimensions, but their furnishing is
of the scantiest A few chairs, a table, and
curtains at the windows, comprise the con
tents of each of them. There is a little
closet at one side containing a washstand
with a very small wash bowl and pitcher,
and some pegs for the hauging-up of the
garments not in use. There Is also a fire
place, and tbe chimney invariably smokes
whenever a fire is lighted, wbjch is -often
necessary, since the gieat furnaces that
warm the entire house are always called into
requisition at the latest possible date in tbe
autumn, and are extinguished as early as
possible in the spring, on account of their
immense consumption of coal. One can
imagine how injurious to the throat of a
singer must be the atmosphere of her dress
ing room when it is literally bine with
smoke. The French Government has been
often appealed to by the directors to have
this state ot things remedied, but their re
quest has never received the slightest atten
tion. The costumes of the Grand Opera are all
made on the premises. A vast room, just
under the roof, is allotted to the worjr. people,
who sit around there on benches against the
wall, and sew, and drape and trim unaertbe
supervision of Mme. Floret, the dressmaker-in-chisf
of the establishment
It was to Mme. Floret that 1 addressed
myself when I desired to have the magnifi
cent and elaborate costume provided for
Juliet in the fourth act of the opera (the
bedroom scene) exchanged for a dress more in
accordance with what the great.English act
resses have worn in the past, namely a wliite
crape or cashmere wrapper trimmed with
white lace. The chief dressmaker, however,
ssponded: "Mademoiselle', Juliet must
wear heliotrope or lilao in that scene, as she
is in mourning for Tybalt," which,consid-
rlnf? that Tllhttlt bftH hppn flTnln nnt 91

make up the family; mourning, and that" she
had worked without losing any jimS f;
.The materials used for the costumes are
bought wholesale and are stored away till
wanted. There is an immense consumption
of tulle aud tarletane for tbe dresses' of the
female members of the ballet troupe. Mile.
Mauri, the premiere danseuse, Is the only
one whose multitudinous skirts are all made
of tulle. The other dancers have the three
or four outer skirts only in tulle, the rest
being composed of tarletane.
PBEIMBING THE COSTUMES.
Each one of the leading members of the
company is provided with a dresser whose
business it is, not only to assist the artiste in
dressing duiing a performance, hut also to
superintend all the details of the costume, to
see that the shoes are clean, the train well
brushed, the laces, chemisette, etc.perfectly
fresh, and everything in tact in faultless
order. This arrangement relievesthe prima
donna's mind of a good deal of respon
sibility. The costumes are always furnished by
the establishment; but if any one of the
singers desires to wear a dress of her own
providing, she can usually settle the matter
with the director. Thus when Mile. Hell
bron appeared at the Grand Opera as
Marguerite, she was allowed to haye her
first costume composed ol Chinese crape, and
made for her at one of the leading dress
makers of Paris. But the model prescribed
by the traditions of the house must always
be strictly followed. Marguerite must
always wear a tight-fitting white drei3 with
a long train in the second and third acts of
"Fanst" The correct and picturesque
mediaeval costume worn by Miss Ellen
Terry in the Lyceum production of the
drama of "Faust" inLondon and afterward
assumed by Mme. Albani in the opera at
Covent Garden, here in Paris is not to be
thought of for a moment; it would be con
trary to tradition I
The acoustic properties of the Grand Opera
House are very peculiar. The voice of a
singer must possess remarkable "carrying"
qualities in order to fill the auditorium in
any adequate fashion. Anything that is
spoken on the stage must be uttered close to
the footlights if it is intended to be heard by
the audience. This is so well understood by
the members of the company that they con
verse together with perfect freedom at the
backof the stage when not engaged in the
bnsiness of the scene, being sure that what
they have to say will never be heard beyond
the footlights, which, in fact, it never is.
There is one point, sot far from the prompt
er's box, where the voice in singing is more
easily heard than at any other place on the
stage. This was well understood by M. Jean
de Beszke, and he is accustomed always to
stand there when the business of the scene
permits him to choose that position
Such are a few of my impressions and ob
servations as a member of the Paris Opera
Company. Many more things might be
said that would be new and inteiesting to
the general public, if not to professionals.
But I think I have written enough to show
what an important center this house is for
the preservation and development of true
musical and dramatic art

The Work Jfow Accomplished by the Great
Weather Bureau.
GOETHE'S 1DEA8 UPON ATMOSPHEEE
rWBlTTKr TOB tax. DISFATCn.I
"What of the weather?" "Is it going to
rain?" The world seems to have been born
with a chronic anxiety about the weather.
As a stimulant to conversation it is not a
mere matter of form, but controls it, because
it controls everything else. King Weather
rules religion, character, cuisine and archi
tecture. Is ic going to rain or snow? be hot
or cold? are inquiries that are directed to
every one we meet. There is no theme so
general, no subject upoq which each and
all can talk as intelligiblyas his neighbor.
Each morning millions of people scan the
newspapers for tbe weather report, and read
thq unfailing pronbecyof the skies oi the
coming day. Even marriage and death
notices yield to this sovereign.
Fifty centuries passed before the
world was able to predict certainly
the weather of a single day, but with the es
tablishment of the Weather Bureau not 20
years ago, if we follow the weather report
we may know davs before what the weather
in all probability will be. The value of
such a science cannot be overestimated, bnt
the most important office of the bureau is
giving warnings of approaching storms to
vessels. The weather Is an extremist "It
never rains but it pours." In a wet season
it rains to-day because it rained yesterday,
and more than likely will rain to-morrow
for the same reason. It is climate that effects
our entire natures. The bright, enterprising
Westerner, tho languid Southerner, tbe
sharp, scheming Yankee, are all specimens
of climatic influence. We may resist, bnt
CLIMATE -WILL COXQTTEB
in the end. Some days are like a dreamy
poem. Tbey drive away dull care and
felicity takes her place. Some days are
filled with celestial fires that exhilarate and
electrify, until all the world seems to smile.
Then comes the gloomy, downcast, lowering
clouds, and the world looks at life through
smoked spectacles. Woe to tbe suppliant
for favors on such a dayl Some one has
said, "What is a Yankee but John Bull
plus the American climate?" But whac a
transforming power King Weather has had,
in this instance. During this year the war
of the elements has combined against onr
entire country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, from the North to the South have
the cyclones and floods devastated our land.
"It is the stars."
The stars above us govern onr conditions,
quoth Shakespeare, and in this age, too, the
"weather witch" credits Jupiter with all
the storms and delnges of the past year and
all the prospective horrors of the coming
year, until his power as a ruling planet has
passed. But to abuse the weather, we dare
not, for the rain means as much as the sun
light it means life and growth, and is as
necessary to man as to vegetation. "Old
Probabilities" has his rivals certainly, in
the almanac followers, in the good old
Dutch, and in the Indian, and their old
signs seldom fail either.
"If it rain before 7, it will clear before
11." "A rainbow in tbe morning, a sailor's
warning," but "A rainbow at night, a
jailor's delight," and others, invariably
prove the truth of the old signs. Yet King
Weather is as capricious, moody, severe or
tender as the monarebs of tbe olden days.
Hence there is speculation when we look at
the clouds, tbe moon, the sunset or the stars,
and "All signs fall in dry weather." Goethe
. gave a very picturesque cause for therainr
but as for the science of IT welT,"no matter.
He said: "I compare the earth and her
atmosphere to a
obeat xJTixa sznra
perpetually inhaling and exhaling. If she'
Inhales she draws the atmosphere to her, so
that coming near her surface it is condensed
to clouds and rain. This state I call "water
affirmative." Tbe opposite state he called
"water negative." That it has rained cats
and dogs and pitchforks, fish, flesh, manna,
fowls and toads, we all have heard; that it
has never rained umbrellas the most credu
lous will not doubt,' for whoever had an
umbrella when he needed it most Yet "it
is a wise man that carries an umbrella ou a
dry day." "Old .Probabilities'" signal
stations are getting more numerous every
year. At Mt Washington the altitude is
over 6,000 feet, yet observations are often
made in a balloon. The result of each ob
servation, all Over the whole country, is
telegraphed in cypher to the Signal Office
at Washington. The work at these stations
is simple, being only a reading of the instru
ment at stated times and of transmitting to
Washington the results.
From these the bulletin of "probabilities"
for tbe ensuing 24 hours is made out and
telegraphed to all newspapers in the conn- ;
try who are willing to publish them for the
benefit of their readers, and to all boards of
trade, exchanges; societies, seaports, etc.,
etc When momentous storms are raging
telegrams are dispatched, received, acted
uponand filed. The iiumensity of this sci
ence is absolutely wonderful, and yet its
system is perfection Itsel ' Every report
that reaches tbe Signal Office is carefully
preserved on me, ana at tne end ot each
year tbe office possesses a complete history
ofthe meteorology of every day in the year.
