This Is tho sort of criticism prima donna
have to face when they slug In the presence
of Black Hills musical critics. One of them
writes thus of tho star of an opera company t
"Her voice was a cross between the hum of
cyclone nnd tho screech of a locomotive
under full steam. It trembled away in cat
1 liko cadence nnd roso ngalu like the wail of
abound in distress. Again it roso in mellow
tones not unllko tho wind dallying over the
' mouth ot nn empty jug. Stopping only long
I enough to tako wind, she rose slowly to her
1 tiptoes, nnd with gyrating arms and heaving
I chest gave a fair imitation ot the roar that
foretells a Dakota bllrrard. Old Jim Baker's
pet panther, chained to a post back of the
opera house, heanl somo of tier high notes and
they tkeered the poor beast out of a year's
growth. It was the first timo our town was
Yitited by a genuine female cnllioH, nnd we
hope she'll come again." Detroit Free Pre.
