He began his career as a church singer at fourteen while attending college, and made his first appear- @nce as an oratorio singer at 19. So pronounced was his success as an oratorio singer that he was called to the Third Presbyterian church, Chica @, as soloist. After a num- ber of years at this church he was retained by the Oak Park Presby- erian church—the highest, paid churck position in Chicago—which pluce he held until he came to New York to join the Metropolitan Opera company. Mr, Middleton enjoys the distriction of being. the ‘only singer ever re-engaged fcr twelve consecu- tive performances with the Apollo club of Chicago. He was soloist on two tours with the New York Sym- phony Orchestra, Wa!ter Damrosch conductor; three tours with the Min- neapolis Symphony orchestra, Emil Oberhoffer, conductor; and appeared with unqualified success ‘as soloist with the Chicago Symphony, the St. Paul Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the New York Philhar- monic Josef Stransky, conductor, The popularity of this excellent singer is indicated by the fact that hoe has appeared over 500 tithes in “The Messiah" and.an equal num- ber of times in “Elijah.” His odncert itineraries have carried him over thousands of miles into every state of the union. Mr. Middleton is pure- ly an @merican product, never hav- ing been abroad. Alexander Emslio, master voice builder and coach, was his only teacher. During hi. y at tho Metropolitan, Mr. ja- dleton appeared 35 times which in itself shows the high record the authorities of the world’s, greatest opera house have for this unusual artist. ————. MAS.

SCHOOL DISTRICT MADE GO-DEFENDANT IN SUIT FILED IN COURT HERE School District No. 2 of Natrona county, embracing the city of Cas- per, has beén made joint defendant with the American Surety company and George W. Cottrell in a suit for $7,038.55, plus costs and accrued in- terest, filed by the Nicolaysen Lum- ber company. The plaintiff asserts that after making a contract with Cottrell, the contractor, to furnish material for the addition to the Elk street school, that the material was furnished but never paid for. The American Surety company issued the bond covering the work. W. 0. Wilson of the local school board explained today that Cottrell ceased work before completing the contract and that the American Surety company, which had bonded him, took over the contract and fin- istgi the job, The school board paid the bills as instructed by the Amerl- can Surety company, Mr. Wilson therefore contends that the school district, having discharged its ob- ligations, is no longer responsible for any bills and that if the plaintift falls to collect from the contractor it ds none of their affair,. The contract awarded May 3, 1923, and work was started two days later. a Have Platt patnt your house. Phohe 1495 NJ.—Adv, : By JULIAN SNYDER. (United Press Staff Correspondent) “Tho boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, All that beauty, all e'er gave, Await alike th’ inevitable hour— The paths of glory lead but to the grave." “Elegy"— By Thomas Gray. CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 13. (Unit- ed Press)—There is one particular old dingy stone mansion in Cleve- land's ancient “street of gold"—Eu- cid avenue—about which is a cer- tain ‘alr of mystery. Like many old buildings of note, it has its legends or traditions. These legends or traditions, perhaps based more or less on fact, are being pass- ed on by the old servants of the place to the roomers who now occupy the palatial res'dence. If Lulu EB is, the colored maid, is to be believed, the ghost of the for- mer owner, now degd, may be seen often, emerging from the secret staircase that passes from the spa- cious dining room to a large cham- ber above, or strolling along the great corridors, attired’ in blue dress- ing gown and slippers, Tho Mansion. The mansion in question was the home of the late Slyvester T. Everett, banker and street railway magnate, The building is like many others that wealth bullt 30 or 40 years ago, between 20th and 60th streets in Euclid av- enue, which, from their cost, might well have earned Euclid avenue the title of Cleveland's “street of gold.” But gradually the tentacles of busine: eached up this aristocratic old thoroughfare and have taken oyer the old mansions, The ma: stone buildings, in many cases, are run down and stand in grim dark coats of factory soot— the ghostly markem of a former generation, Like Feudal Castle. The old Everett home, built of red stone ingeniously carved with hundreds of human faces, includ- ing those of the Everett family and others. representing the various races of the world, is of a shelter- ing grove like the towers of a feudal castle, although the architecture of the building as a whole is not nearly as severe. The building cost $1,000,000, it ts said, and was completed in 1887, after four years®work. It was com- pleted at the height of Everett's career as a financier and shortly after his marriage to Alice Louisa Wade, granddaughter of Jeptha H. Wade, founder of Wade park and one of the initial stockholders of the Western Union Telegraph company. Mverett, known as a hard worker, Was known 4s a royal spender. He opened his palatial 30-room home with a “house warming” that was the sensation of the season. He was proud of his home. He showed his guests through the 20 rooms on the first two floors finjshed in as many different kinds of wood. One parlor is of rare Moorish design, another aiuglish, a third German, a fourth Japanese, and so on, Rare Wines. Everett's stock of rare wines, whis- kies and champaigne also proved quite an attraction. His splendid stock was equaled only by his gen- erosity in doling it out to guests; and, as might be expected in this case, he had many friends. Everett's parties in his million-dol- lar home soon gained him /much popularity. He was city treasurer for a time. He was a warm friend of the late Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie often visited at the Everett home. Andrew who knew how to make friends as well as money, took one look at Everett's cellar of liquor and there- after every year sent Everett a case of excedingly rare Scotch whiskey. With a loving wife and children and surrounded by hosts of friends, Everett appeared for a time, to enjoy real happiness. Feared Death. But to his most intimate friends he confided his one fear—that of death. Everett's dread of the hand of Death tormented him by day and by night. And by courting Bacchus which brought much merriment, resound- ing laughter and song into his home," Everett sought to shut out thought of the unwelcome visitor, In 1916 came the first blow. Death took Mrs. Alice Everett, his wife. He was left stunned and lone. some. His fedr of death grew and the torment became more acute. Parties became fewer. Friends drop- ped away. The Last Party. © One evening, about three years ago, @ number of friends of the wealthy banker recetved sudden sum- mons to the Everett home, One of Everett's old-time entertainments awaited them. The next day Everett died. Roomers who now occupy the old mansion are told this story of the former banker. They are shown the secret staircase. They are told that there also is a secret underground tunnel which used to connect the house with the Wade home several hundred feet distant on an adjoin. ing lot. A large blood-red mahogany panel slides open, revealing the staircase. It is musty and very dirty. The roomers speculate en its former use. The Ghost. Then Lulu, the colored maid, adds to the wonderment by declaring pos!- tively, “I done saw Mista Everett las’ night, walking right along here.” She says he walks wearily through the corridors, in blue dressing gown and slippers, just as he appeared in life when he paced the floor, fear WHEAT MAKES OVE U0 BUSHELS ON DRY LAND AT TORRINGTON TORRINGTON, Wyo., Sept. 13.— With the general wheat yield in eastern Wyoming running from six to 12 bushels to the acre, the Holkenbrink brothers whose place is not far from here, are able to make a showing of 85% bushels to the acre. Their success they at- triyute to their practice of the sum- mer fallow system of wheat raising. A volunteer crop of 11 bushels to the acre from u 300-acre tract which last fall was battered by hail just before harvest time, is an added contribution to the success of the two men this year.

Harvest of beets is expected to start October 1. Two weeks more without killing frost is required by corn for it to reach full maturity. Silo filling is proceeding rapidly at this time. The summer's drouth has caused complete failure of the bean crop. Early grain yields have been fair and good in proportion to length of the season following planting which in the majority of cases was late. Output of honey will probably far exceed that of any previous year, according to present Indications. ———— Have Platt paint your roof. Phone 1459 Ad clusive features: PAGE FIVE B. B.
