NEW operatic star is to appear here Tuesday night,- March 2S, when Maggie Teyte will sing at the Heilig under the management of Steers & Coman. One of Maggie Teyte's pictures rep resents her with her hand upon the Sphinx. This happens to be symbolic. for more than one crUic speaks of a sense of mystery that envelops her. It is the mystery of youth. Yet this does- not entirely explain it, for it is perhaps an innate and inseparable em inent in her character that adapts her so admirably for the role of Deousay's Melisande. Her beauty is of . niYstic, unworldly type that haunts one strangely. An air of childlike inno cence mingles with the sunshine of her face, despite the positive individuality and keen intellect that sparkle in bar eyes. She is utterly unlike anyone else that ever lived. One feels oneself in the presence of a rare and sensitive soul, alive to all the fine.' instincts of the artist and the woman-soul, yet who is not without moments of piquant elfin humor. Unconsciously, like an opening flower. she discloses new moods. A sense of startled wonder sweeps over one to find that this rare soul is a Parisian favorite, for who associates childlike innocence and the finer sensi bilities with the Opera Comique cr with French music? Tet it may be that this innate power of bringing to the surface and vitaliiing the delicate ethereal grace of truth and purity that lies forgot, deep down out of sight in French art, is the real secret f her hold upon the French, a3 upon all awakened souls. The true artist and beauty-lover cannot but respond. Owner has a splendid store for rent, 5x75 feet in size, right in the heart of the business district.

It is not thought he can ever fully recover, al though he may live for some time. An effort will be made to move Mr. Pratt to his Portland home in a short time if his condition will permit the trip here. Civil Servicb Barriers Raised.
