San Dlepo, "the Kovcl FEosarlans have
establlhei1 a precedent, and have
proven J'ortland to be without peer on
the Pacific Coast, in thn enthusiasm

another case on record where busi

Mr. Collier a sentiment found its echo
on the lipa of the business men of every

the Rusarians in their recent California

tillty is the keynote of the success
of the modern literary man in Lon
don today. The writer in a rut, or the
writer with an Inelastic talent these
days is doomed. The best example of
this conquering inanv-sidodness is af

Gbost Story Told.
The after-dinner raconteur with a de

eerie tales has lound a mine of material
in "The Gray Ghost Book," by Jessie
Adelaide Middle ton. One of the most
interesting narratives concerns a house
in Chelsea, and though it has few of
the elements of the average thriller,
it is worth recording because of Its air
of old world courtesy.

Chelsea house was an old man dressed

on the following conversation with

The apparition walked across the
room, bowing and smiling in a friendly
way as if highly pleased with himself,
and then suddenly disappeared.
Fiction's Quality Dlscuased.
Do American and English .publishers
want high-class , fiction? This is the
question raised by a woman novelist
of some eminence" in -the current num-
bei of the Author. To Illustrate her
point, she tells the story of her last
novel, the result of four years' labor.
The manuscript was repeatedly refused
by London publishers, though each re
jection was accompanied by apologies.
Disheartened by these experiences,
she took the manuscript with her
to America, and submitted the story
to one of the foremost publishing
bouses in the United States. The un
favorable slip that ushered it back this
time was also coated with sugar. "It
is with real regret that we find our
selves forced to return your manu
script, as it has claims to great dis
tinction of style, is altogether excellent,
and treats of Its subject a difficult
one with engaging skill; but owing
to the present overstocked state of the
market, we cannot undertake Its publi
cation." The writer immediately Interviewed
the president of the publishing house
by means of a personal letter which
she had kept up her sleeve. She
wanted to know who would publish
novels of excellence If publishers who
boasted of their beliei In them turned
them down.
Novels Held Gamble.
"Publishers consider all .novels a
wild speculation." was the answer.
"The books they bank on must be
sure to excite a demand. There are
novels which secure phenomenal suc
cess, such as," he mentioned the name
of a record-breaker, which his house
has launched. "Singular how the en
thusiasm of our 'younger group' put
that through, and how such enthusiasm
prods the salesman to greater efforts.
But It must be unanimous to make the
salesmen take hold. In cases where
it is not the salesmen, in consequence,
are slack, and the book fails."
"You mean," exclaimed the English
novelist, "that when the enthusiasm
of one or two of 'the grroup' wavers
the salesmen' make little effort to sell
It?"
"Precisely."
"Slight not the remedy for too ephem
eral literature be found between the
lines of the following: 'How do yon

one sportsman to another. 'I feed him

him of 'all food- but oatmeal.' insisted
the second, "and he'll be only too glad
to eat it.'"
Writers' Influence Topic.
Some amount of discussion hasyeen
going on in literary -circles aa to
whether the . younger writers of the
day exert a cheerful influence or the
reverse. This pleasant little contro
versy has ranged around the works of
George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, G.
K. Chesterton, Hilalre Belloc and John
Galsworthy. A. Neil Lyons, himself a
3 oung writer of promising talent,
strenuously upholds the claim of these
writers to cheerfulness, although they
appear to be at one In a common con
tempt for the moral and civic quali
ties of what are called the "educated"
people of England. In that direction
they are undoubtedly pessimistic, but
Neil Lyons calls attention to the other
side of the literary shield, as follows:
"The modern writers' pesslmltic view
of our 'gentlefolk' is counter-baTanced
by very optimistic views of the com
mon or inferior person. All these writ
ers seem to BUggest directly or by Im
plication that the crude mass of Brit
ish nobodies are brave. Industrious, pa
tient and extraordinarily cheerful un
der extraordinary hardships.". ,
The palm for optimism, however, is
given to Mr. Galsworthy,, who 'is al
ways looking for courage and beauty
in odd corners, arid always finding
them." In summing up what he takes
to be the truth of the matter, Nell Ly
ons affirms that all these younger
writers of England are making it
their business to "smite the knave, the
fool and tle hypocrite, and they are
smiting hard and. suddenly and with
sure aim."
CHANGE IN SYSTEM URGED
Spanish Minister of -Finance Has
Plan for Sweeping Reforms.
MADRID, Jan. 11. (Special.) In the
Chamber of Deputies tne Minister for
Finance, Senor Navarre, the Reverter,
has introduced several' bills constitut
ing the most complete financial scheme
that has ever been introduced Into the
Spanish Parliament. The scheme Is
divided into three parts a reform of
taxation- making taxes equitable and
proportionate to the Income of the tax
payers, a reform of public services,
providing "Inter alia" for the establish
ment of gold as -the only legal cur
rency, and a new system of payment
to pensioners, such as retired offi
cials and their families. This bill, it
is calculated, will effect a retrench
ment to the amount pf ,40,000,000
pesetas.
The Minister declares that the fi
nancial condition of the country was
not serious, as it had been declared to
be by financiers, and that there had
been a considerable improvement in
the last few months. The majority and
the minority parties paid the closest
attention to the Minister's speech.
The newspapers without exception
praise Ue scheme, and the Premier
declared that it constituted the pro
gramme of the Liberal Party.

thousands of California citizens. As
the party moved southward' the white
Rosarian uniform became known far
and near as the symbol of Portland's
enterprise. In the parades in various
cities it was cheer3 for Portland that

with inquiries as to opportunities and
advantages in Portland and Oregon.
Beyond the mnmentary interest that
was attracted by their visit, thev left

FRIEDA HEMPEL, GERMAN ARTIST, IS
NEW YORK'S GRAND OPERA FEATURE
Soprano Singer of Rare Gifts Makes Appearance After Repeated Delays and Stirs Music-Lovers Macnez, New
Tenor, Is Heard for Tirst Time, but Is Nervous, and Forgets.
BV EMILTE FRANCES BAUER.
EW YORK, Jan. 11. (Special.)
The most Interesting feature of
operatic circles this week is the
case of Frieda Hempel, admittedly one
of the greatest artists of Germany and
one for whom America has been wait
ing for some time. The real beginning
of the story lies in the fact that since
the retirement of Mme. Scmbrlch, the
Metropolitan Opera-House has been
without a real coloratura soorano, and
those who feel that the day of thl3
sort of voice Is over need only recall
the fact that Bond is orie of the great
est assets the grand opera stage holds
today, but he Is seriously hampered
when be has no worthy companion.
Thls was the condition during his
second season at the Metropolitan after
Mme. Sembrlch had gone and already
men negotiations were on witn Miss
Hempel, who never until now has been
able to secure a partial release from
Germany. ' The singer was expected
in time to open the season with "The
Huguenots," but she fell ill and was
compelled to postpone her coming and
to cancer her engagement In the new
Richard Strauss "Adriane auf Naxos."
, When finally she did come, she was
overtaxed by one. of the most severe
sea trips of the season and she ar
rived in New York in a really uncom
fortable condition.
Artist Good Acquisition.
According to the plan Miss Hempel
made her first appearance as the queen
In "The Huguenots" with such com
panions as Mme. Destlnn as Valentine,
Caruso as Raoul, Scottl as de Nevers,
Bella Alten as the page and other well
known artists. Interest of course cen
tered on the new artist who did not
reach the very highest plane of which
she -Is capable, as the writer can tes
tify, having heard her and admired
her -Intensely in the Mozart festivals
of Munich during two different occa
sions, but she succeeded in establishing
the fact that she is a very great artist
who is highly schooled, with a voice of
the purest possible quality and of the
cleanest technic.
Her intonation is faultless and
throughout she should be regarded as
a real acquisition to the Metropolitan
Opera-House. She has a charming per
sonality, which(was shown both in the
opening performance and in her Ro
slna, in "The Barber of Seville," which
was brought forward for her sake. An
other feature of significant interest
was the presence of Amato in the title
role, a part which he had never sung
and which showed the extraordinary
vocal equipment of one who in addi
tion to a role of such florid vocaliza
tion has sung Amfortas in its noblest
and most eloquent style.
The part of Almaviva was sung by
Umberto Macnez, heard for the first
time. MacAez and all other light ten
ors who are engaged to sing these
roles must suffer from one insurmount
able obstacle, the obstacle of .memory,
as no one can forget Bonci, absolutely
Inimitable In these roles and by whom
all others must be measured. Macnez
seems more suitable than any that
have been tried since the Bond reign
and if able to overcome big Intense
nervousness, it may be that he will be
able to make a place for himself at the
Metropolitan Opera-House. '
The actual secret of. the diminution
of Interest In the old florid repertory
Is not to be measured by anything out
side of the fact that these operas must
be sung. There is no temporizing the
singer must be powerful' enough to
make one forget the story, the stilted
action and everythingextrftneous. And
yet there was nothing: stilted about
"The Barber of Seville." It was delight
ful, and when Hempel regains her
strength and her nerve there will be
some delightful offerings for those who
know how to appreciate real singing
when they hear it

fiestas, in tne movement to carry out
the plan of the association, which aims
at making jne Pacllic Coast from the
southern line to Vancouver, B. C, "the
playground of the world.'1 San Fran
cisco signified its intention, after the
Panama-Paciflc Exposition, of arrang
ing for an annuul event wnich should
bring that city also into the organiza
tion of the Festivals association.
At San Diego, after visiting the site
of the Panama-California Exposition,
the Rosarians pledged themselves to
and will tbegin in the coming session
of the Legislature, a movement to se
cure an appropriation for a permanent
Oregon exhibit in the big Southern
California exposition. The exposition at
San Diego differs from that of San
Francisco in that it makes no pretense
at offering an exposition of world-wide
scope, but will confine itself to an ex
emplification of the progress and re
sources of the United States and Iatin
America, The principal features of the
exposition do not in any way overlap
the features that are accented in the
York for the holidays just before leav
ing for her long Western tour, brought
back glowing accounts of Campanint's
"Tristran," which was given with an
other wonderful cast. Mme. Nordica,
whose Isolde has always been held as
one of the world s greatest, was again
in her favorite role. Mme. Schumann
Heink celebrated her taking up Chicago
as a permanent residence by singing
the part of Brangaene: Dalmores. who
is adding German repertory to the rest
of his attainments, was Tristran and
Cla'rence V, hitehlll. one of the greatest
of the American artists who have been
members of the Beyreuth organization
was Kurwenal.
Mme. Nordica' is one of the most in
teresting of the artists now before the
public. Her wide activities bring her
into every field and where she goes
she takes sunshine with her. It is
some time since Mme. Nordica con
ceived the idea that there were many
voices among those unable to pay for
vocal instruction, and she organized a
series of classes, engaged Mme. Gardner
Bartlett as teacher and has from 2oO
to 300 young people deeply interested
in vocal study. . Mme. Nordica does not
expect to make singers of these young
people, but she simply wants them to
get the joy out of music that she knows
is in it, and if there are any talents
that must be heeded, there will be some
way of doing it. Mme. Nordica, by the
way, is heartily in favor of the suffrage
question, and is herself an active force.
Indeed, if one does not want to be con
vinced, she is a dangerous companion.
The great American singer has never
looked better and has never seemed
fuller of vitality and of ambition.
G"y Makes Great Difference.
Of especial Interest on the Pacific
Coast, which was the seat of the first
breach between Paderewskl and the
New York end of the piano he was
playing, will be the following story
.which happened during the holiday
week. Ernest Urchs cabled the great
Polish pianist to' say that he appreci
ated his forthcoming tour and his re
turn to the Steinway fold. On New Year
morning Mr. Urchs received a cabbie
signed "Padcrewski," which read curtly
enough, "Thanks for charging cable.
Happy New Year." When Mr. Urchs
returned the cabje to have it verified it
came back, "Thanks for charming
cable, etc"
Paderewskl will be among the artists
to tour America, and, indeed, it would
be much easier to say who will not be
here than otherwise. Rosenthal is an
nounced, Bauer will return. Hofmann
will make a long tour, there is a dim
possibility that Rachmaninoff will re
turn, and rumor has it .that he will
come as conductor with Hofmann.
Among the violinists already an
nounced are Carl Flesch, and Thibaud
as newcomers, and the return of Ysaye,
a long tour for Kreisler, another for
Elman. the return of Spalding, a new
American violinist returning to this
country after Europearl. successes in
the person of Jaques Kasner, Maud
Powell, who better than any artist be
fore the public can draw audiences
without going to Europe to break up
the American tours, and several others,
not yet disclosed.
s Zlmbalist has accepted 0 concerts in
Russia, and almost that many in Ger
many and France. The great young
Russian will appear in the Tschaikow
sky festivals to. be held In Moscow this
year, when he will play the Tschaikow
sky volin concerto with Safonoff con
ducting. Zimbaiist has not played there
in several years and then only in Saint
Petersburg and Moscow, while he will
now go into Siberia and other extreme
points. .
Sunday afternoon the surfeit of con
certs will be almost inconceivable, and
at tle present time nearly every nous
Is reported as sold out. In the after
noon Elman is to play the Tschalkow
sky concerto at Aeolian Hall witn Wal
ter Damroech and the New York Sym
phony Orchestra: Zimbaiist at the
same hour will play the Mendelssohn
concerto with the Philharmonic Or
chestra. In the evening will be the
Metropolitan Opera concert with Lucre,
zia Bori for the first time in concert:
John McCormack with Charlotte Ma
conda at Carnegie Hall and at Madison
Square G-arden; the monster concert
given, by the Evening Mail with the
Russian Symphony Orchestra under
Modest Altschuler and Zimbaiist as
soloist.
The next soloists will be Mme. Gerville-
Panama-Pacific Exposition, and one of
the strongest exhibits at San Diego will
cover tne field of Uie timber industry
of the Pacific Northwest.
As at San Francisco, the Royal
Rosarians gave their sanction to the
comlnpr exposition by planting on th
si to where they hope to see erected an,
Oregon buILclng, many Oregon rose
bushes. '
' Trip Will Benefit City.
"Reviewing toe entire trip," said Hy
Eilers at Los Angeles, whero the;
Rosarians disbanded after being -entertained
by the business men of that
city, "I believe that citizens'of Port
land will find its beneficial effect
returning to them for years to come. In
Sacramento. Oakland, San Francisoo,
Pasadena, San Diego and In Los An
geles, the Royal Rosarians have left
not only the message of co-oporatlva
endeavor between- the cities of the Pa
cific Coast, but they have left also a
wholesome admiration for the enter
prise and 'livenebs' of a city that will
plan and carry out such an extensive
undertaking as the tour of the Royal
itosarians has been."
Reache, the eminent French contralto,
and Arthur Frledheim, the Russian
pianist. Mme. Nordica has expressed
herself as enthusiastic over the move
ment and will slhg at one of these con
certs when she returns from the West
ern tour. She expressed much regret
that previous engagements did not per
mit her to be tne first one to appear
under these auspices and for this phil
anthropy. A great number of new plays will
come in within the next few weeks and
a number which came on around Christ-,
mas time will be traveling on to make
room for the new ones. One of the
latest announcements ii that "Turan
dot," the Chinese play which the fehu
berts are mounting, is to be postponed
for several changes in the cast and in
stead "Anatol," by special arrangement
with Winthrop Ames, will come to the
Maxine Elliott Theater.
The Century Theater is dark this
week pending the opening of a new
spectacular play to follow "The Daugh
ter of Heaven," which the Lieblers will
mount in their usual lavish style. "Jos
eph and His Brethren" will open according-to
the usual Liebler custom,
Saturday afternoon, January 11.
"Eva," the latest thing attributed to
Franz Lehar, opened this week at the
New Amsterdam, following the Lehar
"Count of Luxembourg." Anne Swin-.
burne, who was the entire attraction of
the English version, a very different
Version from the original, will remain
with theompany throughout Its Chi
cago engagement, after which it is un
derstood that she will go to Europe for
further study, and when she will return
she will be at the head of her own pro
duction. Miss Swinburne is a Western girl
who Jumped into sudden fame in a.
smaller way in "The Climax," in which
play she made a success all over this
country without the least stage expe
rience. Upon her return to the East
she was induced to take up singing se
riously and decided quickly to go to
Frank King Clark in Berlin. She -made
a sensational success In the "Count of
Luxembourg," one which brought her
offers from nearly every manager in
the country, including several oppor
tunities to go into grand opera. While
she will not consider grand opera this
season, there Is no doubt that this will
be her eventual career.
