How Campanini Got a Raise
Musical Critic All P .Trounced Ba
velll, His Rival In p-rt-J by Ma
pleson, to Be a Very Satisfac
tory "Second" Tenor.
In the heyday of the period back In
tbe late seventies and early eighties
when Italo Campnnlnl, who at 14 be
came one of Garibaldi's famous one
thousand, was being heralded as the
greatest living tenor and had the mu
sic lovers of two continents at his
feet, he went to his English and Amer
ican manager, the late Cel. J. H. Ma
pleson, and demanded a large In
crease in salary. The Impresario
listened to his great star's demand
with outward equanimity; be realized
that Campuninl's voice bad done much
to make bis opera seasons at Covent
Garden and In America successful, but
be did not propose to grant the Italian
the increase In salary demanded If he
could help It. So, while promising to
give the matter serious consideration,
he set abut planning In his own way
to circumvent "Camp," as be was call
ed by his friends. .
In time reports began to reach this
country from Europe that Col. Maple
son bad engaged the "great tenor
Ravelll, who had gained a wonderful
reputation abroad with his voice."
Then other reports began to appear
that the American public would find
In Ravelll another voice as glorious as
Campanlnt's even. These reports were
Judlc'iusly and widely circulated, bo J
that those who were on the outside
eagerly awated the great Ravelll s ar
rival. But Campniilnl's friends were
quick to guess the truth Col. Maple
son was planting to use Ravelll in such
a way as to play him off against Cam
panini, so that he could (shrug his
shoulders and say, "Oh, well, 1 have
Ravelll," when Cnnipaninl Inevitably
threatened to stop sinking unless that
extra five huudred dollars a ulglit was
forthcoming.
A prlnco of Rood fellows In fact,
the most popular operatic tenor that
has ever vlsltetd the United Stars
Campanini had many warm friends
here, and once they were "on to" Col.
Mapleson's little scheme they deter
mined to do all they could to see to It
that Ravelll was not allowed thus un
justly to supplant his fellow country
man; that Campanini should Htnnd
unapproached as the greatest tenor
singer of hiH time until a really better
tenor than be arose.
On the night that Ravelll mnde his
debut In the Academy of Music In
New York, General Howard Carroll,
so Intimate a friend of Cnmpanini's
that he had visited the latter at his
homo In Parma, strolled Into the press
room of the Academy, where the mu
sical critics all friends of the Garl
haldlan patriot- had met to talk over
informally Rnvelll's debut. He wanted
to be fair to Ravelll, who was. In fact,
a great singer, hut they felt them
selves In honor bound to protect Cam
pnnlnl, beyond peradvrnture of a
doubt a still greater singer, against
the little trick of his manager.
"I am sure I do not know how to
write my criticism of Ravelll's per
formunco except to say that RBvelll
Is great, but Cnmpanlnl Is greater,
confessed one of the critics, famous
in his dny. Still another said: "Ra
velll Is a magnificent singer, but Ma-
pleson is not acting fairly toward
Campanini In lining Ravelll to Camp's
disparagement, who Is much the great
er singer of the two." And So the
comment went on for rome time, all
clearly agreeing that Cnmpanini's
voice wan by fur the better voice.
At lant It became apparent to Gen
eral Carroll, who had been listening
to the informal change of views, that
ihn criticisms the following morning
would practically all declare that
Ravelll wa:i great, but. Campanini
greater, so he volunteered a bit of
advice.
"The hotter plan, gentlemen," he
said, "Is not to mention Campanlnl's
name nt all. Ho didn't sing in this
opera. If you make comparisons, the
public will take them up. I would
suggest thaat we agree upon this
point,: That Ravelll Is a very great
second tenor. We will congratulate
Col. Mapleson on having secured so
perfect an nrtlst, so as to make his
performance the nights 'Camp does
not sing satisfactory. We will speak
of Ravelll as the most perfectly equip
ped second tenor who has ever come
to the United States."
The Idea took Instantly It was in
fact a fair statement of the situation
and the next day the notices o!
Ravellis debut spoke in high praise
of him ns a very grent second tenor,
tbe word "second" being emphasized
In practically every case. The public,
after listening to Ravelll for several
performances, concurred In the view
of the critics; Campanini remained
unsurpassed; there were tears in his
eyes when he embraced General Car
roll for his timely act of friendship;
and, soon after there was great Joy in
his heart when Col. Mapleson recog
nized the inevitable, paid Campanini
the Increased salary which he de-

Hero of the Federal Treasury
L. C. Chittenden Disabled by Signing
$5,CCO,000 in Bonds in 48 Hour to
Prevent Sailing of Confed

Thomas C. Acton, who died in 1808
after reaching the age of seventy-five
years, gained a great national reputa
tion at the time of the draft riots In
New York city. In lSii.l, by the energy
with which he met that critical situa
tion as president of the police, board
of the metropolis. After his retire
ment ns a police commissioner, in
IfiUO. lie became assistant treasurer
of (lie United States In charge of the

noticed that his right hand was
bandaged, and asked him If he had
met with an accident

Logan Feared Vice Presidency
Famous Cavalry Leader Was Reluc
tant to Accept the Nomination In
1B84 Because of the State of
Hit Health.
No man ever accepted a nomina
tion for vice-preBldent of the United
States more reluctantly than did tlen
eral John A. Logan iu 1SSI. He was
even mure greatly distressed that.
political exigencies and the imperious
command of his party compelled his
acceptance of the nomination than
was Theodore Roosevelt in a similar
position. Roosevelt at last decided to
accept tbe nomination before it was
made, but Logan pleaded with his
friends at Chicago until he was actual
ly nominated to make some other
choice for the honor.
A day or two before the conven
tion's notification committee, headed
by ex-Senator John I). Henderson, call
ed on General Logan, in his modest
home In Washington, formally to ap
prise him of his selection as the run
ning mate of Blaine, I wus received by
the General In bis home. I asked him
what he Intended saying to the com
mlttee.
"I shall not say anything much," h
said, "Just a few words. It Is a per
functory performance. I haven't much
heart for It." And then, briefly, he
added that one of the reasons he was
unwilling to enter the presidential
campaign actively as a candidate was
the state of his health. "I have never
fully recovered from the serious rheu
matic trouble that affected mo four
years ago at the time I made ray
speech in the Senate in opposition to
the restoring ot General FUz-John Por
ter to the retired list of the army," he
explained. "I made a part of that
speech while suffering Intense pain."
"Yes, General," I replied, "that wus
apparent to all of us who heard you,
and It was the common remark at the
time that nothing but your Inflexible
will carried you through that long
peyh."
When tbe committee did call upon
General Logan. I wa present, at his
ipectal Invitation, to witness the brief
ceremony he had said when extend
ing Ihe Invitation: "It won't be much
of a scene." It was clearly apparent
that the General was not in the 1 est
of health. His complexion, air iys
swarthy whe n he was in health, h I u
sort of pasty hue; the contrast be
tween it and the drooping black i is
taclie and coal black hair was Ira: : ea-
slvely strllclnir.
As he rose to receive the i'omra::'!c
ho leaned heavily upon a chair, lie
listened to the remarks of the chair
man as though he was either Indiffer
ent or In a sort of a dream. And when,
after a few perfunctory and formal re
marks, the senator from Illinois began
to speak In reply, his hair fell over his
forehead, there wits a curious, un
healthy brightness In his eyes, and a
tone, of sadness In his voice which
seemed to impress greatly all of us
who heard it.
The ceremony over In a few min
utes, the committee withdrew, and I
was left slone with the candidate. I
aBked him if he were going to write
a formal letter of acceptance. "Of
course," he replied slowly, and then,
after a moment, he udded, still speak
ing with solemn slowness:
"It Is a great .honor to be called by
Ihe people of this groat republic to
servo ns tn-ir vice-president, it is a
great honor to he nominated for that
office by a great party. Hut I have
my misgivings. I wish I felt in better
physical health. Some have thought
that I am Indifferent to the honor.
Hut that Is not so. 1 am not a well
man. I wish iny pary iiad chosen
some one of our leaders who Is In per
fect health."
Two years later John A. Iognn lay
dead; and I have always believed that
bis primary reason for not wanting to
be nominated for the vlee-presldeney
with lllaine was that he knew even
then that he was in the first stages
of the organic disease which finally
brought him to his death bed, and that
be had a premonition that if he were
elected to tbe office he would uot live
to serve his term.

reply. "And I am much better olT
than Chittenden was after he had
doni what I did the other day, but to
a much greater extent.
"L. C. Chittenden, you know, was
registrar of the treasury department
at Washington during the administra
tion of President Lincoln, and a very
capable ofllcor he was. We were per
sonally on terms of friendship, and,
meeting him one day In the streets of
Washington I should say It was in
the last months of President Lincoln's
life I noticed that his right hand
and arm below the elbow were power
less. I wondered whether he was in
the initial stages of the shaking palsy,
and knowing him well enough to do
so, asked him If that were the case.
Shaking his head slowly and smiling
slightly, he told me the following
story and ever since the day I heard
It I have held that Mr. Chittenden was
as much a hero for his country's sake
as any man who went before the can
non's mouth in the Civil war.
"'You know,' began Mr. Chittenden
to me, as we stood on the edge of the
Washington sidewalk, 'when Charles
Francis Adams, our minister to Great
Rrltain. protested against the British
government permitting those English
built " Confederate privateers to sail
from the ports of their construction,
he was told that the ships would be
kept from weighing anchor provided
he deposited with the British govern
ment within 24 hours $5,000,000 in gold.
so that Grent nrltain might be pro
tected In case any damage suits were
brought against her for holding back
the privateers. Mr. Adams, as you
probably know, had no Idea where he
could get the necessary gold, but that
afternoon It was unexpectedly offered
to Vim by a man whose name has
been kept a secret to this day, that
being the sole string of 'he loan. To
this good friend of America In need
Mr. Adams offered as security United
States government bonds, telling him,
however, that he would be obliged to
wait for the bonds until j'ord of his
deed could be sent by mall to Wash
ington there was no cahlo working
then--and the bonds sent over.
"'Well, bv the next steamer Presi
dent Lincoln and Secretary of State
Seward received Mr. Adams' commu
nication, nnd It at once became tier
essary to send five millions In govern
ment bonds to Mr. Adams by the first
steamer to Europe, If possible. It.
would sail In just 4S hours. Wo had
the bonds, but t'.ey were unsigned.
" 'From that lime on until the last
bond was signed, just in time to catch
tin? steamer, 1 did not leave my office
except momentarily. 1 ate in the of
fice. For hours I could scarcely see
the bonds as thev lav before me and
appended my signature by Instinct.
Hut I did the work in time, and
the bonds were sent by special mes
senger to Mr. Adams, who, In turn,
delivered I hem promptly to the good
friend of the Union who had ad
vanced the five millions In gold. And
this' Mr. Chittenden glanced half
smilingly and half ruefully at his
powerless right hand and arm 'this
Is my scar and wound, a permanent
Injury, received while doing my duty
as a government officer.' "

HE WISH MAN discovers exactly what lie needs to be hannv.
T I and endeavors persistently to acquire the essentials.
it is v uiunuci uuuijr uuuui uicwe ciwnuaiH. jjis
of men are furiously anxious to marry. They are persuaded
that life is impossible without one particular woman, often to
discover that life is impossible with her. Similarly, money
popularly is regarded as necessary to happiness, although we
all number men among our acquaintance far more miserable
in a costly residence than they were when living in a humble
"home."
Indeed it is fairly evident that to the majority of human beings
"what one is" is of infinitely greater importance than "what one has."
There are, of course, exceptions, but they are comparatively few. The pas
sion for mere possession is rare. The miser is abnormal. Men love money
because money means power, or, maybe, good wine.
Women love money because it means costly clothes and many jewels.
The desire to wear beautiful clothes is entirely admirable. A woman
often expresses her personality with splendid completeness in her dress.
We are apt, perhaps particularly if our incomes arc small to denounce
the love of diamonds as vulgar; but, after all, children and all lovable,
simple souls adore things that glitter.
In attempting to discover the secret of happiness- .vhich is the aim
of all philosophy the initial difficulty is the variation of individuality,
the fact that one man's food is another man's poison. lint this difficulty
is superficial. We are all more alike than we are inclined to admit. Ik
sides, I am not concerned with the extraordinary man, with the possessor
of the great soul or with him who has no soul at all.
The industrious and the lazy, the silent and the loquacious, the
domesticated and the gypsies, the married and the unmarried, the bond
and the free, believers and unbelievers, socialists and anti-socialists, are
all divided, some happy and some unhappy. The greatest thing in the
world cannot be obtained by opinion, conviction, circumstance, or virtue.
The unhappy man is the dull man, and the dull man is the man with
out a soul. That is the truth, and the whole truth. The dull man eats
and drinks and works and sleeps and grumbles and sniggers and is just a
rate payer. Most of us have to do all these things. We have to be rate
payers. The horror comes when we are just rate payers- and nothing
more.
Think of the happy people one knows, and inquire! I know a clerk
who is happy on $15 a week because his wife thinks he is a hero and he
thinks she is beautiful. He is not a hero to you and me, but in her dream
world Launcelot is nothing by comparison, while in hi.s dream world she
is another Helen.
I know a nun who is happy dreaming of the glories of a wonderful
raMBOTwwiCTHSI p-jy wonder-world. 1 know a Salvationist who is
happy because he is a son of God. . I know a cheer
ful, roystering, often penniless, writer who is happy
because to him all men are good fellows and all
women adoruble. The happy socialist dreams of the
brotherhood of men ; the cantankerous socialist yearns
to interfere with his fellows.
It often happens that the men who stimulate
imagination and encourage our dreams themselves fail
to attain hapj iv.ess. They stand on the mountain
and point oui the way, hut they themselves never
reach the land of de'right. They are. however, the
the great men, and you and I are- the common way
farers. Their way is not our way, and it may be that
that t heir sorrow is more precious than our joy.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
for Those Planning Seasonable
Entertainments
S
For Hallowe'en.
From ttie voluminous correspondence
v-blch has poured Into the office re
garding "Hallowe'en" It would seem
that every reader, old and young, rich
or poor, intended to celebrate on this
most fascinating festival day. Madame
Merrl sincerely hopes that there has
been something In the departments to
suit the needs of all.
Here Is a very simple method of de
termining one's future partner In life.
It Is called the "yarn" test:
At the stroke of midnight the girls
must all go upstairs, the men remain
ing In the hall below. Then each maid
In turn drops a ball of light yarn over
the banisters. Of course, she must
hold tightly to one end of tbe yarn and
remain unseen when she throws It
down.
The men scramble for the ball, and
the one who gets it, when the yarn is
drawn taut by the girl above, muBt re
ply by giving his true name when the
unseen holder says "who holds?"
If he recognizes her voice, so mucil
In their favor; if the girl drops the end
she holds, she will remain unmarried;
If the yarn breaks she will not marry
any of the men present on this occa
sion. This test is always sure to provide
a happy ending to the party, and It is
also a means of pairing the guests for
refreshments or for any game where It
Is necessary to choose partners.
Quotations for Hallowe'en,
In the way of quotations for plaeo
cards the hostess has a Btore of riches
from which to draw by consulting
Shakespeare or Hums. A few apt sen
timents are given:
Fortune Is merry.
And In this mood will give us anything.
This day wo fashion Destiny, our web
of Fate we spin.
Tlnre swims no Koose so gray
Rut noon or lute
Bhe finds some honest gander
t or her mate.
The Iron tongue of midnight hath told
twelve.

And Uih owls hoot.
And hats fly In and out.
When the fire burns blue,

A Superstition Party.
A ladder was put up on the front
porch so all, would have to pass under
It to enter the house. All the black
cats in the neighborhood were bor
rowed for the occasion and salt was
spilled in front of each plate at the
table. The party was on Friday, on the
thirteenth day of the month, and each
guest was asked to tell his favorite
superstition. The favors were scissors,
knives and tiny purses without the pro
verbial "lucky cent." Toe result of thl.f
party was th;-t no oik; died within the
year, all remained good friends, and,
in spite of tbe looking glass which the
hostess shattered just before going in
ihe dining room, none had bad luck.
This affair could be combined with
Hallowe'en stunts and make a jolly
time for tomorrow night or during the
week, when fads and fancies pertain
ing to the mystical day are In order.
"felling Fortunes.
Fortunes may be told by tbe tradi
tional "three bowls." Place three
bowls, or saucers (as they are more
convenient), on a table, one filled with
water, one with milk nnd the other
empty. Kach maiden Is then blindfold
ed, turned around three times and
started In the direction of the bowls.
If she dips her finger In the water, she
will marry a bachelor, if In the milk
her husband will be a widower, while
if her finger touches the empty dish
she is fated to remain single. After
each one makes the test the order of
the howls must be changed so as to
prevent those who watch from know
ing which is which.
The Egg Fortune.
The correspondent who asks for a
new Hallowe'en fortune test may find
the following suitable for her purpose:
For this potent formula for peering
into the future an absolutely new laid
ejrg is necessary. Drop the white only
Inlo a glass of cold water. A clever
seer will then foretell the future from
the queer shapes which the albumen
