A new use "has been found for the grama pTione. A young lady in Australia thought he had a singing voice, but wanted expert opinion as to whether she would be justified In taking, a long journey from her home to London to compete- for a scholarship. So she sang into a gramaphone and sent the record to a well-known London professor of music and asked him if he would try the record on his machine and inform her what he thought of the qualities of her voice and if it was good'enough to try for the scholar ship. The professor lfstened to the record, was duly impressed with the possibilities of the votce'and wrote to say he thought she should try the examination. She came to London, reaching there just in time for the examination, and? waa one of the- two suc cessful candidates out of 190 competitors. - .

England, choir re cently gave a concert at Queen's Hall, Lon don, and In speaking of the event a cor respondent writes: "Presided over by their trainer and conductor. Dr. Coward, the choir sang with amazing power and brilliance through a long programme which included many diverse styles of choral works, from Handel to - El gar. To Londoners, accus tomed to Indifferent choral singing, the rich ness of tone. Its sonority and volume, and the complete command of every shade of expression which the choir possesses, are a revelation of the possibilities of choral art. In the earlier part of the evening the choir sang various.: short pieces Macfarren's charming part song. 'You Stole My Love which was given with much brilliance, a I never made an unsuccessful .invention. My first Invention was the. electric fan, just as it is run all over the country in hot weather. I didn't get a patent on it, but see what a tremendous success it is! I next invented the Trolley Car System, Just as It is run today. I made it perfect and successful right from the start. It has never been improved since I invented it. Look at the millions of money It has made for the stockholders. The stock of the trolley manufacturing companies sold below 15 cents a share in 183 and 1894. Poor men could buy that stock then. Thousands of them did buy it, and every one who held onto It Is a rich man today. No Man On Earth Ever Lost a Penny He Invested With Me Next I Invented the Railway Car Telephone System. It is a system by which passengers or train crews can telephone from still or moving cars anywhere the same as if seated In an office. It is a more perfect system in operation than any other telephone you ever saw. This is on the road toward millions for the stockholders. This Is My Greatest Invention Now I have invented something bigger and greater than either of the above. It is called the Bidwell Cold Motor. It is guaranteed not to burn out and is exactly the kind of a motor the steam railroad people have been looking for. It will change all the steam railroad systems over to electric roads, because It will be cheaper'to run than steam, and can be run faster and more safely than any present method. The one drawback the railroads have bad In changing over to electricity has been that no motor as at present made can be run 150 miles at 80 miles an hour without burning out. It would melt the very wires. By using the Bidwell Cold Motor a train of cars could be run from New To'rk to San Francisco without a stop at the rate of 80 or 80 miles an hour and not even: warm up and without a hitch. Besides running faster they would be more safe and sure than steam, cost less to operate, and would last longer than any other motor now known. The Bidwell Cold Motor is the greatest Invention out since I Invented the trolley car.

Subsequently Cowen's 'John Gilpin was sung with delightful emphasis of its humorous passages, and the performance of the 'etanctus from Bach's great B minor mass was a fine example of choral virtuosity. The tone at times was stupendous in its volume. A chorus from Walford Davies' 'Everyman' andi familiar excerpts from 'Elijah' and .'The Messiah' were also splendidly sung." Among the Pacific Coast musical students who have returned home from their New York studies, after having dodged a number of railroad washouts en route, is Stuart Mc Guire, the young baritone singer, who reached this city last Wednesday on a three-months' vacation. Mr. McGuire went East last October, and began to study with Ididor Luckstone. at the latter's studio on East Sixty-fourth street, and those who have since watched his faithful - work say he has made most creditable progress.

Miss Quilliam recently took part in a, piano ' recital In this city, along with her slater Elsie, and although they have studied less than one year, the . two little girls gave a programme of one dozen numbers entirely from mem ory, playing selections from Chopin, Grieg, Mendelssohn, Bend el t Gautier, Bubenstetn and Paderewski. The favo rite numbers played by Louise were "Spring Song" (Mendelssohn) and 'Minuet a 1 Antique' (Paderewski), while Elsie played "Melody in F" (Rubensteln) and "Albumblatt" (Grieg).

Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer gave her annual pupils' song recital last Thursday evening at Ellens Hall, and the latter was crowded to the doors with an enthusiastic audience. Mrs. Bauer is so well known as singer and teacher that a recital in -which she shows the results of her instruction has more interest than ordinary. All her students sang excel lently ajid out of their number will undoubted ly emerge coming Oregon singers. Who will it be?

MARRIAGE MERE INCIDENT Business AVoman Scorns It as Knd All of Woman's Life. CHICAGO, June 9. Marriage has be come a mere incident In the life of' wom an; man is but an appendage, an adjunct, a corollary of woman. In short, man is not nearly as important as he, with fatu ous self-conceit, imagines himself. So speakers at the session of the National Business Woman's League in the Palmer House declared yesterday all the speak ers being women. In art, in music, in literature, in medi cine, on the stage, as nurses, as court re porters, and in numerous other vocations, professions, trades or crafts, men are by no means the whole thing. Most start ling of all a man as a husband does not summarize the entire universe. A hus iband is an incident, not creation. "Marriage?" asked Miss Louise Lee Hardin, president of the associa tion. "Why, marriage is no longer everything in a woman's life. It is getting relegated in the mind- of woman to Its truth in the proportionate scale of things, and Is becoming an inci dent. Marriage is but an incident in the life of a man, why should it not be so in the life of a woman? Women of today must have other interests in life besides the hearth, and I think it Is a very good thing for woman herself and for the Na Be a Safe and Sane Investor and Get as Much of This Stock as Your Means Will Allow. It Will Pay You a Life Income in Handsome Dividends. More money is made every day by good judgment in investing money than by all the labor and wages in the country. Safe and shrewd investments in this stock -will make fortunes. You will never get rich on wages. Xo one ever did. Every man in this world who ever got big money got it either by speculation or investment. Speculation is unsafe. You stand more chance to lose than you do to make. Investments are right the other way. Make a safe investment and it is sure to bring you returns. Don't hesitate about this stock. It is absolutely safe and sure. Here Is a Vital Point to Remember There never has been a failure of consequence in electrical manufac turing. Stop and think of that. All are immensely successful. All pay big dividends and have made their investors wealthy. This company will soon be one of the biggest in electrical man ufacturing in the world. This is bound to be so, because there is not a place now where a motor or generator is used, but it will have to sooner or later change for the Bidwell Cold Motor or Generator.

' MYSTERY IN MURDER CASE Lost Husband and Vnwelcoine Sui tor May Solve It. NEW YORK. June 9. The identity of the murderer of Mrs. Alice Kinnan, who was struck down on the stoop of her home in the Borough of the Bronx last night, was still a mystery today. Mrs. Kinhan lived with her mother, Mrs. Louisa M. Stanton, aged 85, in an old and decaying mansion. At 9 o'clock last night she was called to the door by an un known person, who, without a word, struck her a fatal blow on the head with a gas pipe. The murderer then disap peared, leaving the gas pipe. That jealousy or revenge may have been the motive which prompted the assault was suggested by the discovery that a contractor named Clinchy died in Mrs. Klnnan's home while calling upon her two weeks ago, and also that Mrs. Kin nan had employed a lawyer to bring suit for divorce from her husband, from whom she separated eight years ago. The police today were trying to find a man who is said to have been a frequent caller on Mrs. Kinnan. It was said today that Clinchy had been a visitor at Mrs. Kln nan's home for five years, against the wishes of his family. The mystery Is deepened by the fact that the whereabouts of Mrs. Ktnnan's husband is unknown. After trying in vain for two years to find him and bring suit against him, Mrs. Kinnan believed htm to be dead until three weeks ago, when he was reported to be in Brooklyn. The search for him was renewed by Mrs. Klnnan's lawyer, but without result. The police took up the search for him today ln the hope that he could give them a clew.

LIKE THE SWISS FAMILY Max Sehlcmmer, Wife and C'liildreu Sole Inhabitants of Island. HONOLULU, May 30. (Special.) There Is a man visiting Honolulu at the present time who lives as nearly independent of the rest of the world, when he is at home, as it is possible, for any human being to do. His name is Max Sehlcmmer, and he has a lease of Laysan Island, 800 miles from Hono lulu. He and his family alone inhabit it. For 12 years Mr. Schlemmer has made this isolated spot his home, and there are many months at'a -time that he and his family know nothing of what is transpiring in the world beyond the line of sky and water that marks the horizon in every direction. Mr. Sehlcmmer arrived here yester day on the schooner Lavinia. which went to Laysan Island for a load of guano. The crew of the little schooner were the first human beings from the outer world that the Isolated family had seen for eight months. Laysan Island is said to be the great est resort for sea birds in the world. Acres and acres of albatrosses can be seen at one time there, being so crowded that the ground is entirely covered with them. There is a great, variety of other birds there also, in cluding canaries, wnich are captured in large numbers at times and shipped away to be sold as household pets. The Iivinia brought in a large number of these little birds this trip. It is due to the large number of birds on the island that guano has been formed in large quantities.
