the only effectual methods of stamping

It Is necessary bow and always has
been to take chances. The beat

greater or less proficiency looks over
the board and deliberately, without
prejudice, takes the greatest number

though It were merely a money stake.
Now twenty-seven Individuals have

thousands have died from smallpox

they had been vaccinated. The chances

Nordica
A king on his throne has not the
breathless Interest for a great number
of iieople that a great singer has. A
king can travel out of his kingdom.
Wherever she goes a prima donna is
never within sight of her frontiers.
From the time of her majority, which
Is celebrated whenever her voice is
cultivated to the virtuosa standard,
she is a queen and the world Is her
court. But alas! when her voice loses
Its sweetness her abdication Is bitter.
No girl or woman saw the magnifi
cent Nordlca last Friday night at the
auditorium in the midst of twenty
three hundred humbled courtiers that
she did not fancy herself diadem
crowned. In cloth of gold, with :i king's
ransom about her throat and clad with
the conscious power over hearts and
imaginations which a kingdom can not
buy. It was idle then to prate of
equality In birth. Dowered with a
magnificent physique, a queenly pres
ence anil a voice of great sweetness,
there are out of the millions of created
men, only perhaps a dozen with a gift
like hers. Stimulated by the singer's
Intoxicant, a multitude in the right
mood, Madame Nonllca sang like an
angel, and with as little effort. Two
hours' singing taxes the singing
mechanism of even the most powerful
throat and chest. Then .Madame sang
little love songs in French. German.
Spanish and Knglish. At the end, when
her task performed, with extra-human
grace and lightness, she might no
longer save her strength, she sang an
arliL from an Hungarian opera, full of
despair and rebellion. The multitude
which had begun to stir wjis quieted
and awed by this finally convincing
evidence of sovereignty.
Nordlca's hour of abdication is still
distant. In the faces of those she sings
to there Is no sign of the approach of a
n?w sovereign. It wfH come and the
past will he to her as a handful of
ashe?. Wliile she reigns I would that
th- wish of hr countrymen to hear
English lyrica from the lips of an
Ajnerlcan might be gratified. "I love
ytw" has the oo and o sounds of the
cooing dove. It is more musical than
"Ish Hebe diah" and even Germans pre
fer the English form to the Teutonic
phrase whose endings are effected by
mcslcal license. Nordlca undoubtedly
has the erudition so common to singers.
She can sing In ten languages, but we
would rather hear her in our own and
her own dear English. When she slng3
in English the clear, round, unhurried
syllables are delightful and help to a
comprehension of the mood of the com
position. Nordica's concert was an event of the
year so near its passing. The faith of
the group of business men who, so the
newspapers announced. Induced the
prima donna to come here was re
warded by a large audience and the
gratitude of two thousand people
toward the anonymous "group."

Love or Money
Prince Henry. Queen Wilhelmlna's
bridegroom, was sad on his wedding
day. The triumphant, glorified expres
sion of a bridegroom was lacking.
Since he slapped the Queen for refus
ing to pay his gambling debts and then
ran away to Prussia, his melancholy
mien on his wedding day is remem
bered and the gossips say that he did
not wish to marry Queen Wllhelmina.
but that Emperor William, the man
who arranges more matches and in
timidates more unwilling brides and
bridegrooms than any other man in
the world, told him he had to. At the
first trouble the Prince started im
mediately for William, perhaps In
order to be the first to tell the Em
peror that he was Just as unhappy as
he expected to be.
When the Dutch get mad they stay
mad. For slapping his vrouw when
eery patriotic Hollander was pray
ing for a male heir to the throne, the
Dutch have cast the silly and vi.ious
Prince Into outer darkness. Njt that
Dutchmen think a husband is not en
tirely within his rights and even his
duty when he slaps his wife, but Wil
helmlna is the sacred figure of the
state and there are times when even
a Dutchman should not strike his wife.
Henry, the Prussian, slapped Holland
when he slapped the Queen.
The virtuous Hollander, who has
vented his ill-nature many times by
kicking his wife, anathematizes Henry,
because he is a German and a for
eigner and has dared to assault their
Goddess of Liberty. As for Henry, he
is an impecunious younger son, with
precisely the current German contempt
of woman and determination to do his
best to keep her In her place. Queen
or peasant it is all the same to the
Prussian. She is a woman and bound
by the laws of nature and of Ood to
render her husband obedience. It is
the hereditary German custom to beat
wives who refuse to obey, and after
Henry married Wllhelmina he no
longer worried about his several mil
lion dollars worth of gambling debts.
He knew that if she refused to pay he
could beat her till she consented and
that all Germany would approve his
firmness. Knowing that conjugal dis
cipline was strictly sustained by
Dutchmen, he did not reckon upon the
storm of indignation which would fol
low his assault upon the Queen of Hol
land. But there is only one Queen and
a greater regard for the succession
should have Induced "this gallous
young hound" to postpone his asser
tion of a husband's Dutch rights and
duty.
European correspondents report that
through the intervention of Dowager
Queen Emma the quarrel has been ar-
