J. ' j AIAVIST SCHROEDER. GERXLDINB FARRAR, the grand opera atar of Berlin and New York, who is now on her way to Portland under the management of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. has not only the gift of a wonderful voice, beauty and wit, but she has also youth. She is the youngest of all the great prima donnas, and brilliant as her career has been already, to bring the nations of Europe to her feet, she has still more brilliant promise in the future. At 19, in all the freshness of girl hood, she made her debut in Berlin as Marguerite in Gounod's "Faust," and was immediately hailed as the ' new genius of song. This was the more re markable as it was her first appear ance on any stage, and before what is probably the most critical audience in the world. Her originality came strik ingly to the fore on this occasion, for she adventurously departed from the traditional portrayal - of Marguerite, both in costume and In action, giving expression to her own individual con ception of the character; and the most cultured and fastidious audience in the world accepted her characterization and daring departure from tradition. Everybody, in fact, went wild over the captivating young American, who in addition to her wonderful voice had the calm and sure poise which only genius oar, crlva rnmhlnwi with an enchanting grace of personality and innocence that won all hearts.

Harvard's reputation for snobbish ness among its students Is altogether undeserved, according to Carl Land erholm, a member of the last gradu ating class, who has Just returned to Portland.

Aside from this he paid all his expenses by waiting on tables, delivering ice, doing housecleaning and similar work.- He declares that the men who take up employment of this kind are received on a social equality with students who spend thousands of dol lars a year. He completed his course last Spring with honors. Mr. Landerholm is an enthusiastic alumnus of the Y. M. C A. preparatory school and expects to be present at the opening of the educational department tomorrow night. the prisoner. This action was recom mended because the District Attorney's office is of the opinion that- a convic tion In the case would be impossible, as the wife of the prisoner declares she has no knowledge as to who shot her. Judge McGinn held that the charge against Naumad was too serious to per mlt of such action and said he would rather leave the matter to a Jury.
