speaking of the nuislcal progress of
Scrnnton.
"Won't you (ell me about your mimi
cal career?" was asked.
"Really," ruplleil the artist. "Hint
subject has been ho often and so
completely written about that I have
nothlmr new to (oil. You see the lon
ger one lives, the further one grows
nway from self."
"At present, In what does your Inter
est pre-eminently center.'"
"Singing Is sometimes a pleasure,
but for me teaehhiR Is always and ever
n passion. My dear, Rood teacher,
Marches!, always told ine that teach
Iiir was my forte."
"Dirt you teach before you came to
ScrnutonV"
"Yes, I taURht several years In the
Conservatory of Music, Peoria, 111., be
foro going to Europe. Then the four
yen is while I was studyliiR with Georg
Hrnsehell and singing professionally In
London, I always had a class of pu
pils." "What did you think of the musters
In Kurope?"
"Oh: (smiling) I Rot just what T
went for. Let mo tell you iIrIiI here.
It is my conviction thai the greatest
master Is of no avail to a pupil that
has not the sacied love of the artistic
in his soul. My mother many times
said: 'Wo cannot rIvo out more than
Is In us.' Ho, the teacher cannot chaw
out more than is m the pupil. JJul
tills is true of a great and noble
teacher he helps the pupil to under
stand himself, he Rives him the means
IcnrnluR nnd n certain giace. which
must bo the dellRhl of every good
teacher."
"What are the qualifications of a
Kood singing teacher?"
"Myl that Is n dllllcult question.
Anna Imnkow nnd many great teach
ers think a bonul of examiners should
decide tjuit question. Others sny only
(hose who tench the Gnreht method
should bo allowed to teach. Another
suys you must prop the nimtth open
with a broken toothpick and hold the
toiiKite down (absolutely down), with a
spoon, etc.. etc., to Infinity. 'What mn
I Fay, In the face of so inticli wisdom?
Simply this: Given the talented pu
pils, let the teacher be qualified to pro
duce Rood singers. One thliiR I know,
the pupil's tin out should be as familiar
to the teacher as Ills face."

l'adoiowskl's opera had been re
ported but meiiRrely by Amcilcans. but
the few who have been so fortunate
as to hear it, found li decidedly Inter
esting. The first act, with the gypsy
music and dnnces, Is full of life, color
and "go." The dances are every bit
as bewlU'liIng as the dance element Is
In "Carmen." In the next act comes
a delicious touch of tenderness in the
cradle song, t'nsslonale declamation,
supported by an orchesli.tilon as full,
suggestive nnrt vigorous as "Wagner's
own. leads to Hie dramatic climax.
"Wo have seen Paderewskl's orchestra
tion before In his concerto: the opera
shows his master-hand In even fuller
measure.
In "Manru" he hat realized the
dream of modern opera, and produced
a work conceived in motifs and orches
tration on the most advanced lines and
yet dealing with live men nnd 'women.
This Is what Italy. France und Ger
many have united In demanding.
" Vw.iy with the supernatural," they
uy. "l..ot us have human beings
treated in the Wagnerian method with
lelt motifs and an orcnestral exposition
of tin- test."
Pail.-i"nvski lias accomplished all this
und lias con been able to preserve a
wreck or so of ye olden time In the

whereby he dlscoeis for himself the
laws of lift and truth. True art must
bo sought before it 1 events itself, Theie
Is so much talk about genius, but the
only genius worth having Is this love
for the gieat and beautiful, coupled
with undying perseverance and labor.
"Then you think everybody cannot
learn to sing'.'"
"Certainly not; even those persons en
dowed with really wonderful voices aie
often-limes failures. While I do not
underrate the value of a good, natural
voice, yet T think little or It unless It Is
coupled with temperament and a cer
tain elevation of mind. Voice develop
ment and character building ought to
go hand In hand. Mediocre voices veiy
often reveal unexpected possibilities,
because of tho development of strong
chaiacterand deep mentality. In my
opinion, every pupil in singing should
have a degiee of general culture. 1
shall never forgot Marchesl's llrst
question to me, when she asked per
tinently: 'How many languages do
you know." it was worth ninny
months of" tuition fiom mi ordinary
teacher (o sit for ten minutes and hear
tills great woman philosopher of tho
human voice expound upon Hie value
of languages to tho singer. She said:
'Just as well (ry to bo a great singer
without languages as to paint u great
canvas without colors.' Maybe shu
Is a fanatlo (for eight languages are to
her what two nru to the acrago per
son), but by thus setting her Ideals
o high, she has achieved her success,
nnd will always have a eoterlo of
grateful pupils, In spite of all jealous
depreeators."
"Do you consider tho teachers In Ku
ropo better than In America?"
"By no mean?. I should never ndlso
a beginner to go to KM ope, because
he can lay tho foundation and be
come a good artist In Ameiieu. Hut,
us Wllllum Whitney suld to mo after
four years' earnest study; 'Now you
ara rlpo for Kurope.' T dirt not go to
RuropeHor better teaching, but for
blonder culture. At this point I could
tallc for hours on the vnluo of environ
ment, Suffico to sa; 'We aro a part
pf all that wo have met.' "
"What do you think of the vocal talt
flit In Sernnton?"
"It Is excellent. It may sound exag
gerated, but It Is none tho less true,
that Scrantpu has as much vocal talent
as uny city of Its bUo In America, You
know America leads the world In wo
men's voices, and, moreover, the
Aujejlgyi gtl iaa uu aptitude, for

all, "Manru" Is decidedly original, and
favors of an entirely now phase oi lis

Ko I might enuuii'i'iito. Knoxvllle,
thout'li divided In tu:illiuent ilurlns: Ihu
war, played a very prominent part In
the history of this section, as well an
of the nation. Uf people wen- Impov
erished and sulfered Impartially, as
both the Unionists and Confedetates
held sway. Tho country surrounding
Knoxvllle hud served as a chesslioaid,
where in turn the antagonistic forces
played their opposing patts. The de
vastation and desolation was univer
sal. The whole land, that four years
befuie had been one of pleasing land
scape, of smiling valleys or purpling
mountains, wan blasted by the touch
of ilorce contending armies, Hut 1'hoe-nlx-lllu',
Knoxvllle has ih'eti lium her
ashes, ion verted her misfortunes Into
a memory only, ledeemed the waste
places, I'obulldcd bee city, and today,
stands third in population nnd third
among the cities of tho state, In a
conmiercial standpoint exceeded by
four cities only lit the south, taking
front rank In Kast Tennesiee (as Chat
tanooga falls behind Knoxvllle 147 in
population) and claims the title of the
"Queen City of the Mountulus."
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS,
Knoxvllle'a lluaiicial Institutions uie
tried and title, having ten banks, of
which live carry deposits of nearly
(5,000,000, a gain of llfty per cent. In
live years. They claim to have more
wealth to the square Inch thuu any
city of its size south, If not in the
whole country.
The river at Knoxvllle Is u thhd of
a mile v, hie. cioPFed by two, bridges,
or more. H.'O feet above the river, which
at this I'rcshet seas-on, was a yellow,
muddy uurrei.l, with many small
steamers', infts and barges plying It.
A concluding statement regarding
Kno.wllle and Its undeveloped ic-
sourees, and we pass on to other hit, r- (
rstipg' and ivninniie scenes in me uuie
Jtidue lange of mountains. In nil the
earth, tlieie ! no land ilcher, nor
mure beautiful than the valley of Kast
Teiinertce. Its mighty bills hide in-,
calculable wealth of coal. lion, copper I
and mathlcs; ll" uunieroun swift and j
full streams, pom lug down fiom tho j
mount.-.! as thiough the volley, could
move all the vast machinery ol the I
lontlnent. Its timber Is unsurpassed,
ar.d l almost exhnil'Uless. For fully
a huiidted mile mound the city, tho
lands are marvelmisly fertile and pio
diK'tlvc, prodmlng all the cereals, gar
den and oicbaid products and is one
or Uie best adapted sections for tlio
raising and grazing of cattle, and the
prodlii lion of all dairy products.
Xaluie has truly boon lavlnh In her
silts to Knoxvllle. affording her the
natuial reiiulienients for a city many
times her piesont population, and 1
pi edict for her a manufactuilug and
connneiclal city or no small tnipoit
ance. Klght here, I in-Unowlcdge my
Indebtedness to the editor of the Knox
vllle Sentinel, and the chamber of coin-

A forty-two mile uui from Knoxvllle
and ICO miles fiom L'hattanooRu, la
.MoirlRtown. one of Hast Tennessee's
glowing towns. U is located almost In
tho center of the great valley of Kast
Tennessee, on the direct line from the
mountain sap on the south, to tho low
est gap of the mountains on the noitli,
and most excellent lallroad connections
in eveiy dlioctlon. It la built, upon
gently sloping hills, In the center of one
of the ilncst agricultural and glazing
countries In the country; also one of
the best tinibeieil regions In America
and one of the i idlest mineral regions,
surtounded on all sides by mineral
springs -a hose medicinal waters are
sought arter every year by thousand1
from other states of the union. It is
located In a most healthful purt of th"
valleys, and in ovety point Is one of i
the moHt favored spots in mo mountain-shielded
valley, .whose salubrious
cllmato luiH made It famous through
out tho world.

and the Civil war.
HOT SPRINGS.
Xestlea among the loftiest peaks of
the Southern Appalachian chain of
mountains, "where the blue hills blend
with the azure heaven, where the white
clouds aie born" In the so-called "Land
of the Sky," Is one of the most popular
or, America's health resorts, whose
fame Is only second to that of Ashe
ville. From the early part of this
century, it has been known as a south
ern wateilng place, but until 1S00, It
was not made available as a resort
throughout the year. The Mountain
Paik hotel and now bath bouses weie
then built, and the resources of the
pioperty developed. The property com
prises nearly 4,000 acres.'and few places
In this country today, offer such at
tractions as a health and ronmntle
pleasure resort. We found It an Ideal
place for icst, or recuperation, after a
tour of four thousand miles in the low
lands and prairies or "Southland." The
scenery about Hot Springs Is unsur
passed In beauty and rugged grandeur
and pleturesqueness. These mountains
are famous for the beautiful pictures
they atford. This region may be truly
called "The Switzerland of America."
The springs are numerous and flow
from the ground at temperatures
ranging from 9tS to 110 degrees. Over
some of them bath houses have been
erected and the natural thermal water
fio.w.i Into largo marble pools, each
nine feet long, hy six feet wide and
five feet deep, so the bather gets all
tho benefit of the natural heat and the
mineral and gaseous qualities of ths
water the usual temperature pre
scribed by physicians. There are six
teen separate pools, all lined and floored
with polished marble. These bathing
facilities are unexcelled. These waters
are especially efficacious In cases ot
stubborn rheumatism, or gout, kidney
and liver troubles: also wonderful In
cases of nervous troubles and Insom
nia. Tho analysis shows tho water to ,
possess the saino mineral Ingiedlents

Springs, Ark., and tho baths at Kins
and Wiesbaden, Germany. , I should

heated by steam. A dressing room,
With (Ot s connected with each path.
Aside fiom the extensive bath houses,
rooms Jiavo boon fitted. In .tlie,h.ptel
with loyal poicelaln tubs, nnd several
marble pools, Into which; the thermal
water Is conducted direct from the
spring, where baths may bo obtained
without leaving tho hotel. All appli

ments, with douches, packs, fomenta
tion and electricity aro provided and a
jesldent physician who thoroughly un
derstands tho waters and their uses,
Is always lit attendance.
CLI-m'aTIO OF HOT SPU1NGS,
The cllnuito at Hot Spiingsls one of
tho chief attractions. Here is found
tho pluey wood region, an altitude of
near 7,000 feet, freedom from fpa. and
perfectly iue diy air, which, all to
