America's greatest tenor came to
Norfolk last night and couldn't sing.
Joseph F. Sheehan , starring In "The
Love Tales of Hoffmann , " made his
first appearance in this city , and was
greeted by one of the biggest audiences -
, ences of the year. Everybody was
. anticipating a great treat because of'
Sheehan's fame , Omaha , Lincoln and
Sioux City were counting on the at
. traction as one of the extraordinary
events of the season , and there
seemed every reason why Norfolk
should feel fortunate in having se
cured it.
But Mr. Sheehan is human , lik i
some of the rest of us. And three
weeks of zero weather , with sudden
changes , finally gave the great singer
a cold. His voice had been perfectly
normal in the afternoon , but by night
a hoarseness had developed and the
sweet tenor notes that have made him
a favorite over the continent came
only with tremendous effort and at the
expense of terrific strain. He was
gamu enough to do his best , but sev
. eral of his beautiful solos had to be
cut off the program , and this natur
ally brought disappointment to the
audience. Everybody conceded that
the opera. In itself , is a beautiful one.
Its record runs in all the great cities
t of Europe forestall argument on that
point. And the company supporting
, Sheehan is'a capable one , Including
number of noted singers. Music
lovers enjoyed the music , but there
were many in the audience who would
have appreciated more speaking lines
and more comedy. While the opera
was announced as midway between
grand opera and comic opera , with a
leaning toward the comic , it seemed
it ' to thn audience that as a matter of
fact the leaning was toward the grand
opera , and grand opera never was and
never will bo us popular In Norfolk as
the comic kind.
Special mention should be made of
Miss Gladys Caldwell. who played so
well the role of the mechanical doll.
HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
Baby Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Gollady Drinks Gasoline.
Fairfax Advertiser : About 6 o'clock
; last Friday evening Lcona , the
IVi-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Gollnday , drank a swal
low of gasoline and very nearly
strangled to death as a result. Mrs
Golladay had poured some into a small
pitcher with which to fill a gasoline
iron. She filled the iron , placing the
pitcher containing a small quantity of
the fluid upon a stand , supposedly out
ir ; , | of the baby's reach , and stepped into
it- another room. During her absence
s j Leona reaeihed the pitcher by climb'
"e ing onto a chair , and took a swallow
ill It had no immediate effect , and Mrs
ie Golladay would not have known she
ie had taken It had she not eletcc.ted the
odor on the baby's breath , but in about
Jd twenty minutes she began to strangle
10 turned black in the face and swooned
Mr. Golladay thought the child was
iy choking , but hit. wife said , "It is the
st gasoline. " Ho picked up the fainting
r- child and ran to Dr. Clagett's office
E. and , while he was not there , was soon
dlocated. . By this time there was ap
> ' , patently no sign of life in the little
y , body and the parents were frantic
n- The doctor worked hard over the
le child and succeeded In resuscitating
it , although it was a question for some
time whether she could rally sufficienl
isto live. It was 10 o'clock before the
little one was -in a condition to br
taken home , and then'the doctor re
n mained with it nil night
ilWhile the baby Is still very sick II
do will recover unless some serious com
plication sets in.
ts Earlier in the day of the accident
of thu baby bad been given milk out ol
to the pitcher and probably thought il
lo contained milk , when ehe drank the
w gasoline.
st Mrs. Golladay was prostrated by th *
shock and for several days waa con
fined to her bed , but we are glad tc
lib report that both are now on the road
to recovery.

London , Jan. 16. The Russian gov

fused to compensate the Manchester
& Sanford Shipping company , the own
: ers of the British steamer Oldhamia
and the Standard OH company , the
consignee of the cargo of that vessel
which was seized during the Russo-
Japanese war while on the way to
Japan with a cargo of distilled nap-
tha which Russia had declared to be
contraband. The Standard Oil com
pany demanded compensation to the
amount of $500,000.
The Russian prize court which
dealt with the case after the capture
of the Oldhamia , condemned both the
ship and the cargo , and the decision
was uphold by the supreme court. The
Russian government declined any
compensation on the ground of the
decision of the Russian courts that
the cargo was contraband. A long
correspondence ensued between the
British foreign office and the Russian
government without , however , achiev
ing any result. Sir Edward Grey now
; points out that , falling the establish
ment of an international prize court
x" there are no means of redress in cases
