Mr. Hemmersteln sprung a sensation upon the most hardened of his patrons. One has to go bark to the first appearance of Mme.

The effect of the new singer's vol. a on the list less crowd was equally astonishing, and the triumph equally complete. In speaking of a voice and personality that have taken one so entirely by aur. prise In fact, at a time when one was completely "off-guard- so to speak It Is essy to overestimate the cause In recalling ths effect.

Therefore It appeals to a man with money to In vest, I found an unusual bargain In "Winnipeg a few week ago. Some law, yera who knew friends of mine were settling an estate, and, as usual, when estates are to be settled, they wanted money and wanted It quickly.

I paid them. In cash. $44.1)75. In addition to this purchase. I bought parcels of land in Edmonton and Calgary, about $1.'.i0 worth in all." I understand that Kubellk tins txken an option on a plecr of property In San l-'ranclsco at $i0.000. and exDect to close the deal before he I lravea California. To Illustrate hia astuteness and business keenness, on hi laat Western tour he purchased a farm near the Canadian frontier for $:.000. His manager and several of his friends hummed the old 'fool and his money" saw. and looked the other way. A month ago. when he vlelted that sec tion, lie was offered $ll.0t0 for . his lard. He refused the offer. Help: Kubellk would not live In the American Northwest. Yet we attend his concerts and pay him our good money.

In counting the score against street musicians it must never he forgotten tlial to them wa due the untimely death of ore of Knirland's foremost humor. sts John leech. The strain of ceaseless application to his work ren dered Iecli abnormally sensitive to street noise, or all descriptions, and street music in particular drove Mm frantic, say the I.ondn Chronicle. The organ-crinder. It la said, knew of his enmity toward ll.eni snd p ayed within earrl.ot of hie studio simply to plague him. In a letter to Mr. Kasa. M. P.. who was flaming a bill for the suppression of street noises, Mark Lemon, the edi tor of Punch, declared that beyond a count Leech's ultimately fatal malady, angina pectoris, or breast-pang, was due to the disturbance of Ms nervous system reused by the continual visits of street bands and organ-grinders.

Play it yourself see if you can tell the playing of the Apollo from that of a finished musician. Then try any other player piaino, and yon -will find the difference caused largely by these improvements which are found only on the Apollo: - The natnral touch, downward on the keys ; the solotneme, which accents the melody or theme, and subdues the accompaniment or allows you to omit the melody altogether; the tempo-graph, insuring artistic interpretation of the most classical music; tbe metronome motor, giving perfect time and so me chanically perfect that it will automatically rewind the longest roll without pedaling; and the transposer, which enables you to transpose a composition into eight different keys.
