greatest interest is her remarkable con
trol over the muscles which regulate
the division and modification of the
resonant cavities, the laryngeal, phar
yngeal, oral and nasal, and upon this
depends the quality of her voice. The

epiglottis, during the production of the
highest notes, rises upward and back

wall iu such a way as almost entirely

Would It not be a good Idea to change
the accepted plans of jail construction
ao that In place of a structure designed
solely to keep prisoners In one would
be built to keep lynchers ont? The af
fair at Danville, 111., was followed by
aa attempted lynching in Indiana.

It begins to be evident that pre.; nt
models will have to be Improved iij.ju.
so that the Sheriff with bis a:(i.nt
may protect prisoners charged w!tn
crime from the assaults of supposedly
law-abiding citizens, who arc iui.-ur on
violating the law. As at present con
structed the country Jail seems to te
easy to get Into when attacked by a
mob of angry men. But if surrounded
by a slone wall and the entrance com
manded by an effective piece of artil
lery the few prisoners Inside might lr
protected from the larger mobs of law
breakers outside and the country saved
the disgrace of the lynching bees which
bring the nation Into disrepute the
world over. No person has a strong. -r
claim on the State for protection than
the unconvicted prisoner. It is a claim
that all men ought to feel an eiiuul in
terest iu defending, for no man know
when the ringer of suspicion may be
iHiiuted at him wrongfully yet undo
circumstances more or less convincing
of his guilt To a certain extent a man
awaiting trial is a ward of the county
and should be protected at all bustards.
If people understood how much of the
physical suffering Incident to protract
ed seasons of hot weather is due to the
food they eat there would be more com
mou sense used iu the selection of diet.
It is not at all uncommon to see iu any
city restaurant men plying fans indus
triously with one hand, while with the
other they convey to their mouths roast
beef with a greasy, rich gravy, pota
toes heavily buttered, or pork and
beans. Having tilled their stomachs
with a heavy charge, they go out into
the heated air, aud wonder why they
suffer so Intolerably from the heat. If
they loaded the furnaces In their houses
with fuel and applied tire to it they
would not wonder why the hous was
uncomfortably warm. Yet they will do
a similar thing to their bodies aud tl-n
wonder and suffer aud groan. Iu hot
weather two things ought to Is avoid
ed to lnsnre comfort and health food
and drink that are stimulating or are
rich In carbon or nitrogen. Any per
son can subsist on about one-half the
food In the summer that Is required iu
the winter, and the summer diet should
consist chiefly of vegetables, fruits,
milk and the farinaceous foods. I"lsh
should take the place of beef. Pork
should be wholly discarded. Milk mu
be used In place of veal. Spring lamb
Is always wholesome. Macaroni, the
various preparations of wheat farina,
toast asparagus, custards, fruits and
the scores of similar delicacies, with
some light meat, like lamb, tongue,
chicken or fish, once a day should con
stitute the daily food. A little common
sense lies at the bottom of all physical
comfort In these torrid days, and com
fort Is a more important factor in good
health than Is generally understood.
However little of real honor there
may be In a title, the action of Queen
Victoria In conferring knighthood up
on Henry Irving will have a great di-ai
.of Influence In securing Influence for
the actor's employment as an art The
distinction accorded Irving is more no
table, therefore, than the like honors
conferred uion Lewis Morris, Walter
Besantand Dr. William Howard Russell.
Dr. Russell earned his high reputation
as a war correspondent Mr. Besant
has won deserved honors for his liter
ary work, and even more for his ef
forts on behalf of the literary profes
sion. Morris, the poet has now a title
in lieu of the laureateship for which
he pined. And probably the substitu
tion will console him. But In Mr. Irv
Ing's case the title was conferred,
against the traditions and prejudices of
knighthood, in recognition of a life de
voted to placing the stage upon the
level of the other arts. It was not so
many years ago that English law class-i
ed actors In the same category with
"strolling vagabonds." While the term
of reproach in no way reflected any
real public sentiment there was, in En
gland particularly, a deep-seated preju
dice against according to actors the
highest social distinctions freely given
to men of talent In other professions.
By knighting Irving Queen Victoria
has at one stroke cut down the Inst of
this unjust tradition. The recognition
of Irving Is also the recognition of the
dramatic profession In its higher mani
festations. To Irving belongs herx-e-forth
double honor as the actor wlw
has risen to the highest possible plane
and as the man who by his persistent
following of high Ideals and his own
fine personal character secured for the
drama the recognition which In a land
of titles has long been accorded to com
panlon arts.

Sait Lake Citt. Utah, June 19
When the Union Pacific Railway com
pany announced last week its second
big reduction in freight rates from
Chicago to common Utah points, It
was believed that the Rio Grande Weat
srn would meet the cat, but would not
go under It, as that would in all pro
bability mean the inauguration of a
tremendous rate war, which the Union
Pacific would be batter able to stand
than the Rio Grande Western, for the
Utah traffic is the life of the Utter road
but forms but a comparatively small
portion ol the Union Pacific's entire
ouslneea. Therefore the announce
ment this morning that the Uio Grabde
Western would at once make a consid
erable reduction under the Union Pa
st Bo's cut from Chicago and St. Louis
to Utah points created a great stir in
business and railway circles, as it wss
feared that this meant the beginning
of a rate war that would be most dis
astrous. Contrary to expectation, how
ever, the Union Pacific officials, after a
conference by the wires with the chiefs
st Omaha, calmly announced that they
would make no further reduction what
ever. This determination is viewed
with surprise by the Rio Grande West
ern people, but meets with general ap
proval. '1 he merchants are terrorized
for fear of a rate war.

terday.
It was a great day for upper New
York. The joining of the waters of the
Hudson and East rivers was ctlebrated
as no similar event has been celebrated
since the Erie eanal was opened iu 1H2K.
The weather was perfect There were
crowds of people ou the bridges that
cross the canal and at ail points com
manding a view of the unique marine
display. In addition there was a land
display, which had many Interesting
feature.
The Harlt m ship canal was projected
twenty years ago, but no active work
was done umll withi:; the last five
years. Sicce then the government has
blasted a wide cut through a bill of
rock, and dreged many miles of mud in
order to change a creeK two feet iu
depth aud the Harlem river into a
waterway suitable for light draft ves
sels from the Hudson river to Long
Island sound. The total length of the
canal is s.'x miles. The mean depth of
the channel is pine feet and the width
fifty feet. The cost of the canU U
12,500,000, and it is proposed eventually
to widen it to 350 feet and deepen it to
eighteen feet
Its opening will be a gre t relief to
the building trade of the upper part of
the city, aa It will be mainly used for
building material for some time to
come. Some of the grsin canal boat
traffic, which now parses around the
battery to reach I be East river, may
also be diverted to it. The canal also
forms a connecting link between the
frem lakes and Long Island sound,
shortening the distance frem the Hud

abeot twelve miles.

Higgings and Fireman Cappell were

speedy for the sharp curve at the
