At the late general olfction the voter *
of Keith county , Nebraska , voted upon
the proposition of dividing llio comity ,
making two where one now exists , nnd
the result of the election was that thcro
' Avoro cast for division 17- " , against divis
ion 471 voles , with' ' ( ) neutral or scatter
ing votes. The result came to Iho secre
tary of state in the shape of si transcript
of the proceedings prior to and covering
the election , furnished by Marl ; M.
Keovcs , county clerk of Kuith county ,
who declined to make any further deci
sion than fortifying to the facts a ? shown
by the records and the result. The law
requires the secretary of Mate to certify
to the governor when a county is di
vided , when the executive can issue a
proclamation to organize. Secretary
lloggon , from llio transcript lilud , had
rcnpon to question whether division had
carried in Keith county or not , nnd
lie therefore Hied the transcript with the
uttorney general for an opinion In the
premises , The opinion of ( ieneral l.ocso
is lhat the question of the division of Iho
county failctl to carry and that from
the evidence the secretary was not author
ity to certify a division to the governor.
Tlio following is the opinion of the attor
ney general :
lloti. K. P. Itoggen , Secretary of dtato
My Dear Sir : In the mailer of the
division of Keith county , Nebraska , I
would beg leave to state that the tran
script sent to your department of the pro
ceedings of the county board is in my
opinion insulliclcnt for you to base your
oortllicato to the governor , upon which
i lie can order an election to bo had. There
is no certificate of the county clerk or
cunvassiiiir board that the proposition lias
been carried nor does Iho vote us indi
cated by the * transcript show that it
carried. Section 10 of chapter 18 pro
vides how the now county can bo erected ,
the notice given , the votes canvassed
nnd the returns made , us in cases of
election of county officers. The canvass
of the election of county ollioera is pro
ceeded in seetion ) of chapter " 0 , enti
tled elections , and when the canvass has
been made under section 10 and any
further action Is required by the county
clerk , it must certainly bo under section
11 of hiime chapter 18. "ff it shall ap
pear thnt a majority of all the votes cast
at such election ( in each of the counties
interested , ) is in favor of the erection of
v such new county , tlio county clerk of
I each of said counties shall certify tlio
i same to the secretary of state.11
I Von will observe that the only power
j or authority of the county clerk to make
* any certilicato on which the secretary of
i state can act must be in ojiso the returns
Miow that a majority of all the votes cast
were in favor ot the erection , etc. Tlio
transcript submitted herewith shows the
total number of votes cast to bo 075 , llio
number for division being 475. This
, . tails to show : i majority of all the votes
* casr , nor does the county
> clerk certify to you that a
majority of all the votes east were in
favor of the submitted proposition.
Such being the case there is no authority
for the county clerk to legally lilo atich a
paper as the transcript. And there is no
legal authority for the secretary of state
to certify the result of the election to the
governor. And until ttio required facts
arc shown in a legal manner 1 am of the
opinion that you have no legal right to
act in the premises. WM. JJKESH ,
Attorney General.

A. Gciicrnti * Artist- Her Costly Di
vorce Justice Matthews on Ills
Head ,
New York Commercial Advertiser : The
appearance of Madame Adciina Patti
this evening , In the Academy of Music ,
is giving club men material for many in
teresting reminiscences apropos of Iho
fiongstru'M ' nnd her singularly gifled fam
ily. Men and women who heard Adellna
Palti during her lirst season in Italian
opera In Now York arc gray-haired , nnd
their children and grandchildren will
lake their places to-night , This stale-
meiit should not lead any one lo think
tlir.t Madame 1'atll is an old woman , for
she Is not. \ \ lion a child she appeared
as a public singer , and now , when just
turned forty , she has Iho same matchless
tones at her command thai she possessed
twenty-live years ato. Jn fact , she was
successfully launched as an opera singer
before bho had reached the age when
most girls begin their vocal studies , and
now , thanks to u good metliod andstiong
vocal organs , she continues her aiiceojs-
iul career.
An old acquaintance of the Patti fain-
ily pays lhat his remembrance lakes him
uiick turther than Adelma's Paul's day
to the time when her mother , Madame
Catherine Pnltl-Harill , and an older sis
ter , Amalia , who afterward married
Maurice Strnkosch , sang together in
"Norma" in Boston. Tins was early in
the liflie.s. Madame Pitttl-HariU was
Iwlco married , and she gave the nnnio of
her lirst luHband the preference , as under
the lille of Signora Harlll blu > waa known
throughout Kurope. She was a typical
Italian in appearance , having been born
in Komo. Humor has it that she was very
passionate , and that Cnrlotta 1'aUi's
lameness is due lo an ngry punishment
which tlio mother inlllclcd upon her.
When Carlottn wasi : more infant she was
thrown , according lo the story , down a
long flight of slairs. and her leg and
hip were so badly injured that she suf
fers in consequence lo lids day. How
ever , if Madame I'alti was quick tem
pered she also had a powerful soprano
voice and moreover was a line tratiio
aotross. At thu opera mentioned above
she took the part of Norma.nnd her char
acterization lias never been excelled. Shn
sang for the benefit of her daughter Ame
lia , who had the leading contralto part.
Madame i'atti , like her daughter ,
Adelina , retained her voice until she was
well on in yours. Finally she settled in
Homo , supported by an annuity of 1,201) )
francs furnished by Adclinaj but old age
did not soften hcrtuibulenl temper , and
her children found that only occasional
visits could he paid horif c'Ordial relations
were maintained. It was her deii nt to
listen to tlio minutest details concerning
Adelina Patti's triumphal tours in
Europe , and she would Invariably ask
each messenger who gave her these reports -
ports : "lias not Adelina sent me some
little Bouvoniry No ? Not even a litllo
diamond1 She was ot Jewish ancestry ,
and had all thu traditional love of her
people for accumulation.
I'ATTI'S KAlll.V MIT .
Of Adelina 1'atti's father it may bo
said that ho is always mentioned after
his wife for the same reason that llio lal-
tcr placed his name before lhat of her
tirsl husband , because ho did not amount
to much. Salvalore I'alti was a music
teacher , and in order lo eke oul n living
ho had to turn tl'c voices of Ihe women
of his family lo some account. Madame
Patti .sang at Now Orleans when she was
but three years old , and her memory
does not carry her baek lo a time when
she was not on the boards. In fact , she
was all but born on the stage. On
February I ) . 18-W. Madame Patti-Harili
sang in "Norma" at Madrid , and at 4
o'clock the noxtda.y her daughter Adelina
lirst opened her eyes on the world where
she was destined to receive so much
praise and comment. Papa Patli , as ho
was usually called , did not object to hav
ing his broad and butter bought by the
price of his children's songs , nnd ho
worked Adelina so hard thai when she
was fourten years ou [ _ her voice began to
ticmble. At this critical period both of
her parents wished to go to Italy and
have her appear there as a juvenile
prodigy , but the determined opposition
of ttio child ( Adqlina Patti had a strong
will even at this tender njjo ) and the ad
vice of musical friends in New York pre
vented Ihis slop belnp taken , and so in all
probability the matchless and expensive
notes of Adolino. Patti were Mivod for the
opera goer of 1880.
After the girl had rested two years
from public singing , and had had her
voice steadied by judicious training , it
was determined to have her make an ap
pearance in grand opora. On the 24th of
November , 185l ! , lucking just six days of
being twenty-seven years ago , she ap
peared at the old academy of music as
Amina in "La Sonnambula. " She was
nothing but a child , and her auditors say
that the effect of her singing was most re
markable. She was slight , and her great
dark eyes gave her a beseeching expres
sion , when she opened her lips and ut
tered the lirst recitative notes the
audience was electrified by the
volume and purity of her
voico. How so small a person could make
such a noise was past comprehension.
1'rom ' this time unlil thu close of 1801
Madame Patti sang in America , and
mostly in Now York. Then she went to
London and appeared at Co vent Gar
den , which was managed by the elder
Gyu , Again she appeared us Amina in
"La Sonnambula , " nnd again she made
a conquest of her audience. In fact ,
Amina was her favorite p.irt , and in il
fcho bang lirnt In all the capilals of
Europe. Madame Palli is superstitious ,
and bho bus always regarded
"La Sonnambula" as her mascot.
During the London season and
for years oftcr she was under llio guid
ance of both her father and his brother-
in-law , Strakosch The three were often
ut cross purposes , and their janglosscrvo
to amiiso gossip-loving Pans hi partic
ular. Madame Patti at this tune guvo
duo attention to appearances , and shit had
constantly with her papa Patti , Amalia
Palti-Strakosch and a companion , who
served in the capacity of a "ohcop dog , "
lo quote the words of Thackeray. This
woman alald with her fourteen years and
only deported at the time of the Do Caux-
Nicollni iroublo.
A KAITHri'I. A1HG.MI , .
In connection with this muv bo men
tioned Iho extraordinarily long periods
of time through which Madame Patli has
retained her friends. Madame "ultl's
maid has boon in her service for twenty-
two years , and in this time they have boon
separated only two months. This maid
Is a wonder in her way. When papa
Paiti nnd brother m-law Strakosch ob
jected lo the addresses which the Marquis
do Caux was paying to their golden song-
stress it was Ihis faithful maid who car
ried notes back and forth between the
dUconsolalo lovers , Nicolini's ' first billets
itoux reached his lady love through this
same medium. In fact , on whatever tangent -
gent Madame Patti may have Puo the
maid has followed , falthtul , silent niici
dlscrcot.
Madamo's Patti's friends Imvo sometimes -
times declared her lo bo selfish , and in
proof have instanced her total separation
from her mother and from her sislnr
Carlolta Tire latter , after varied and
usually unfortunate experiences as a e.on-
cert singer , has now aeltlod do' vn to A
lifo of comparative poverty in Paris. In
1870 she married Earnest do Munck , but
he contributes nolhing loward her sup
port. She has tried to give music lessons ,
but her dolicalo lioallh and fiery temper
tuailo her unsuccessful. She is cared
for by members' ot the Stra-
kosch family , nnd It h said lhat she
r"fu. es lo accept any nid from her suc
cessful sister , uot liking the wav in which
it is iiroircrrd. It has boon declared lhat
Carlotta'B voice was ( incr lhan Adelina's ,
but those who hnvu heard both hi Ihnir
best days think that there is no com
parison. The former had strength and
dramatic lire , but was wholly lacking in
roundness and sweotnrss of tono. As ono
man expresses it , "when Carlolta I'alti
opened her mouth I always felt a.s if her
voice crowded me against the vt all and
pinned imi thcro. "
rATTi's onxr.nosiTV ,
Madame I'atll has sung with more cole-
braled arlists in her day lhan any oilier
person living. She is the link connecting
the singers of 1815 and these of 1H6.- | .
When she made her debut In 183 ! > In New
York Itricuoli was on hand and after
ward she appeared with AlbanI , Grisi ,
Marie , Camiianmi , Capoul and a score of
others equally well known If she has
ever felt anv professional heartburnings
and ieafoustes , she has con
trived 'lo Keep them well hidden.
Christine NIKson , in Iho days when she
was studying at Paris and singing in the
American chapel , used lo go constantly
lo Madame Paul's apartment * , and when
Marie Van Xandt made her brilliant op
eratic debut , Madame Patti Was one of
the lirst to congialulato her. Patti cer
tainly has u generosity which Is seldom
coupled with supremacy. Not longer
ago limn November ( i , iy09 , nil obscure
actress in Purls lost all she possessed of
worldly goods by lire. Patti sintr : for her
bunolif , and at the ck'so of the perform
ance her bonellciary came timidly to the
door of the dressing room and nskud if
she mlghl see the woman whoso voice
had again furnished her with a home and
clothing. Madame Pallt gave willinir
consent , and n tall , thin and awkward
woman entered , She said nothing at
lii.sl , but took Patti's hand and kissed it.
It was but a tow months later that this
same red-haired woman was astonishing
all Paris at tlio Theatre Francais , and
her mime , Sarah Hetnhardt , was ay well
known as was that of Adelina Patli.
Madame Patli lias been well connected
by marriage. Her half sister , MNs
Itarlli , married into the Thorn family ,
well known to old New Yorkers. One of
the Thorns married a 1'rench count , and
so was able lo give Madame I'alU inlro-
ductions to many prominent pe.ople in
Europe. One of the Strukoseli sisters
married the banker l-'ischof , of Vienna ,
anil when llic sinircr was in lhat city she
was entertained as if she had been of the
blood royal. Hut she hasawoll-dovoloped
penchant for Bohemia and its inhab-
Hants , and hence she can live happily
with Nk'oluii , when she was miserable
as the Marquise do Caux. The Pattis
are all supposed lobe Komau Catholics ,
and the day before Ma lame Palli mar
ried Iho marquis it , was found that she
was not a member ol any church , except
so far as her biipti-mi made her a
Catholic. By French law she might have
been married , but by church rules she
must lirst make her communion. Ac
cordingly preliminaries were dispensed
with , unt ! she. was hurriedly ushered into
tlio church , where rl ! < ' should have
entered ten yours earlier. At ! ' ' : " mar-
ringo the Duke of Manchester and Sn1
Aljchaul Co.ta were witnesses for the
bride , while the French ambassador at
London , Ihe Prince do In Tour d'Auvor-
gne , the cousin of the Marquis do Caux ,
was Iho hitler's witness. Tito marked
contrast to this wedding was the ono
with Nicolini , which tooK place this year.
The fashionable world _ was conspicuous
for ils absenceand it hnd cost the mature
bride bomcwhat dear to thus gratify her
whin. The Marquis do Caux was bought
oil' with 1,000,000 francs and Nicolini's
wife with about one-quarter of this sum.
A STATIXMAX ON Illn HKAll.
One of the most amu-ing incidents of
Patti's early days in the American con
cert tield is told by an Ohio man , who
was a member of the legislature of that
state when Ole Dull and Patti gave a
concert ono night in Columbus. ' 1 hey
stopped at the same hotel that held the
greater part of the legislators and the
hitter formed an enthusiastic clement in
the audience. When the concert was
ended all returned lo the hotel
and n supper was civen. The
brightest raconteurs told their
be.t stones , Ole Bull played and
Adelina sang good , old fashioned songs.
The fun was at its height when Madame
Patti ( the mother ) announced that it was
the child's bedtime. Every ono remon
strated , and finally a young lawyer , who
has bccomo well know since as Justice
Stanley Matthews , told Adolinn if she
could prevail upon Madame Patti to al
low ono more song ho would do anything
who might ask of him. The stern moth
er relented , and "Homo , Sweet Home"
was given. So emphatically was il sung
that the previous hilarity was iorgotton
and handkerchiefs wore In general use.
Just at Ihis solemn moment the young
pritnii donna turned quick as a Hash
upon Mr. Mutllicws and said ; "Now ,
sir , for your promise. Lot mo see you
stand on your head. " The embryo was
then a man of much dignity , and his
friends were doubtful for a moment what
ho would do. But ho did not hesitate ,
and quicker lhan it could bo told his
form was inverted , his houd was on the
lloor and his foot were dangling in llio
air. Before Iho spootalors could roali/o
what had taken plnco the fun-loving girl
waa whisked out of the room by her in-
lloxiblo mother and Mr. Matthews had
resumed his normal position ,
"Is there no balm in tiilcnd ?
Is Ihcro no physician Ihnro ? "
