senger." Their offering has met with
gratifying success Jn every house on the
circuit, and they come to Portland with
splendid recommendations. Another fun

while the other Is a graceful dancer, and
both combined present a very entertaining
number.
Roy MeBraln has prepared a special
song for the -wcok In "When the Fields

TATUM AT THE GRAND.
Continuous Performance at Popular
Vaudeville Theater Today.
This Is, the last day of the engagement
of Tatttm at the Grand. He Is the fore
most ralndreader of the world, and his
demonstrations in this strange and little
known science have bewildered and mys
tlftad crowds every aftornoon and night

former policy of ' having continuous per
formances on Sunday, the shows running
consecutively from 2 till 10: P. M. To

exquisite singing of several English ballads.
His voice is a combination of the prime
robusto quality of tenor, and Is sweet and
effective particularly in the high notes up to
B flat and perhaps higher. He throws ar
tistic feeling into what he sings, and bis
voice will no doubt be particularly effective
in concert. and church music. Mr. Allea

The New York Evening Post, la Its notice
of a new theatrical production, sayn of the
encore nuisance: "Some of the other songs
were forced to tiresome encores by the usual
organized claque, which has become an abont- .
inabie nuisance nowadays, and ehould be sup- (
pressed. Audiences should not be bored by
listening over and over again to weird music '
which publishers are determined to make pop- ,
ular." Too frequent encores are a nalsanee, i
and in more than one Instance the managers ,
as well as the public are responsible. In the
English theaters audiences are more reason
table. Pretty songs are encored across the
water, but a single repetition of the last vem
is usually all that is demanded, ualecs the
song is particularly attractive. The encores,
however, are not encouraged by the musical
director to any such extent as is the case with
far too many of the light pieces produced In
our own theaters.
Never before in the history of the Chicago
Musical College has such keen Interest been
shown In the competitive examlnatle&B for
free scholarships as is being manifested this
year. The college building on Michigan ave
nue has been crowded for a month with young
men and women seeking the sehoiarshlp
awards made annually by the college faculty.
Forty-five free and 150 partial scholarships
are conferred. Examinations to determine to
whom the awards shall be made have been
In progress for several weeks, and the num
ber of contestants this yar Is much greater
than ever before. This beneficial idea is en
tirely philanthropies!, and the giving of these
ocholarshlps enables many deservlag studeats
to obtain an advanced education which other
wise would be denied them. A significant
feature In the history -of this movement is
that in past years many of the highest awards
tor proficiency have been won by free sehoi
arshlp pupils.

as the greatest tenor e robusto oa the stage.
He was engaged by the late Henry E. Abbey
tor an American tour at JiOOO a night, and
made a great success In this country. On this
and subsequent vlslta to America, Tamagno
accumulated a large fortune, a large part of
which he is reported to have lost In 1897 by
a real ettata speculation In Rome. He is said
to have been excessively penurious, despite
his immense income, and stories are told of
his washing his stockings and underwear and

Tremont House, Boston, and cooking steak
and onions over the gas for his "best meal."

This is a story of a violin trick In Paris.
Enjoying the cool of the evening in front
of his sausages, a pork butcher of the Latin
Quarter was spoken to by a piteous Italian
boy with a violin. Mother and sister were
supperless in their garret, and not a sou
had the poor little musician made that day.
If he left his violin as a pledge, would not
the pork butcher let him have a string of
sausages? The compassionate tradesman
agreed at onee, and the boy. handing over
his instrument, went off with a plentiful
supper. The next day a well-dressed man.
happening to look, in at the shop, saw the
violin, examined it. and started back in
surprise. Did the pork butcher know what
a treasure he had? It was a Stradivari oi,
worth any amount. Having heard the story
of the Italian boy, the amateur proposed
that the tradesman should boy the Instru
ment. It he got It for ISO francs it would
be dirt cheap, and the amateur himself
could sell it for him afterward for ten times
that amount. The boy came to pay for his
sausages and claim the violin. "Sell It!"
he exclaimed, when asked by the pork
butcher; "never, for it was his only treasure
left him by his grandfather, to whose grand
father it belonged before that." At last,
however, having gone home to consult his
mother, he agreed, and. embracing his be
loved violin, with tears In his eyes, parted
with it for S90. The supposed amateur never
turned up. The pork butcher took the violin
to a dealer, who pronounced It to be worth
72 cents.

"Havo you sot any well-bound second

old book store man.
"Yes. You want a swearing Bible, don't
you?" answered tho dealer. The patron
admitted that he did, and after he had
been supplied and taken his leavo tho book
Btore man entered upon an explanation
for tho benefit of an Interested third
party.
"There's always a demand for swearing
Bibles." he remarked. "Br swearing- BI
bles I mean copies of the Scriptures in
tended for use In the administration of
oaths. Instead of buying cheap, flimsy
covered Bibles, lawyers, notaries, roagis
trates and others who are required to take
affidavits supply themselves with strongly
bound second-hand editions. A swearing
Bible comes In for rough usage and a well
bound second-hand book, which can be
bought for a fraction of Its original price.
will outlast a half dozen cheap copies.
That Is why we have a good demand for
old Bibles."
