He decided that the forty-three plaintiffs who sued the city to recover taxes paid by them under the special Jevy of 15 cents to raise funds to build new schoolhouses and a county hos- pital were entitled to recover their money.

When the new Republican State| Committee organizes at the coming | | spring conventton ‘Governor Odell will | be elected unanimously as chairman to | succeed Colonel George W. Dunn of| Binghamton, the present head of the committee. This agreement of party leaders practically disposes of the ru-| mor that Odell may again be a candi- date for election as Governor. The nlan to have Governor Odell ac- | tively manage the Roosevelt campaign | in this State is credited to the Presi- dent himself. So far as Goyernor Odell's personal fortunes are involved | in this plan the outcome, it i{s under- | stood, will be gratifying to him. If he should succeed in carrying New York | for Roosevelt the Governor's friends| believe he would be able to command almost anything within the President’s control. —————— Christmas Celebration. Christmas day according to the rites and customs of the Holy Ortho- dox church was celebrated yesterday | morning at Trinity Cathedral with an imposing mass. The celebrants were Fathers Sebastian, Dabovitch, Pash- | Kovsky and Popoff. . The sermon was preached by Father Sebastian, who spoke of the peace Christ had brought into the world. In the evening a ves- per service was held, at which some beautiful music was rendered.

New Admirers Say Singer Is the Greatest of Present Age. How is Patti? Ask those—if you were not of the joyful band—who made the. house rock last night after her “Comin’ Thro' the Rye.” Has she any voice- left? Has she lost any? one might reply. Hardly would you get any of the great audience that last night greeted the still greatest singer the world knows to aeknowledge s much. The old-timer, with tears of delight, protested she had never sung better. Which. was always the Wwa) with Patti, the last time always the pest. Nay! the old-timer prociaimed [ midnight. FOR HEBBARD Cannot Be Found to| Issue Injunetions Against J. J. Greif and M. J. Hynes ——— A. B. Mahony, the retiring County Clerk, and John Farnham, retiring | Public Administrator, applied for in- Junctions yesterday afternoon to have John J. Geif and Michael J.

They took a big breath then, and then came the little woman who has reigned i’ the song realm for the unexampled period of forty-five years. Fourteen years ago she came here, them dn a farewell tour. She sang them her in comparable “Violetta” in “Traviata brought “Lakme” with its “Bell Song,” “Semiramis,” and the city was capitu- late. Last night it seemed as though she might do the same thing tem years hence for the conquering of a new city With her characteristic little trip, she came on. holding up her cloth of silver gown in her old, pretty way. One heard the old-time sigh, “She looks just the same,” the young folk wonder, as Patti bowed her auburn head. Fifty, ome might give her, a youthful fifty. Her eyes, dark and bright, are still of fire. Her small ladyship is stouter, but only becomingly so. and her voic If one could imagine it possible, Patti was a Nttle nervous as shé”came to greet us last night. There was perhaps appeal in her dark eves as she lifted them to the sea of faces a-front. - She came, not to an audience of idelators as in the old days, but to a house to whom her name was largely a levely Sensitive, as is every great art- , it is not to be wondered at that she felt the doubt in the atmosphere. But after the first few notes she knew she had us, and at the Californian shout after the “Home, Sweet Home,” she preened herself like the bird she is, and sang “Comin’ Thro’ the Rye" until the house rocked. Here was still felt, gold and honey, and flowing like syrup As Pattl herself says, tempts te do the impo: the Faust “Jewel Song” was transposed until its lower notes were a chocolate ccntralto. Cadenzas the singer does not attempt and tempos are taken easily. One feit the breath a little short occa- sionally and the high notes, alas! have taken flight. But rarely does one the historic voice one roundness elf from a pitch she never at- sfble. Therefore this, the singer keeping wonderfully within her limits. And withal, despite every tradition and i ation of every physical law, sixty-something still note of them all. She fittingly began “Vol che Sapete,” and to hear it was an education. Her phrase is the ultimate of phrasing. her enunciation the art itself, her shading the very color of song’s perfection. She was of course encored, and 'twas “The Last Rose of Summer” she sang. But it was in “Robir Adair,” the second encore, that The audience yelled after it until Patti's auburn head was tired of bowing. It was not Mr. Hegner's fault that his ’cello solos, Lalo, Hégner and Pop- s woman Ot has the nobiest with Mozart s per, fell on rather indifferent ears. He is an artist of accomplishment, with a light but agreeable tone, but even if he had given something more interesting than his too light group M.

Mahony and Farnham claim that as | county officials they are entitled to| serve four years in the offices to which | they were elected, and that therefore | Greif and Hynes have no right to as- sume charge. On these grounds the two officials applied to Presiding Judge Kerrigan for injunctions. | In the meantime the attorneys rep- | resenting Farnham and Mahony start- | ed out on a still hunt after Hebbard. | They visited every club and resort | where the Judge often tarries. but he | was not among those present at any of | his favorite haunts. His home was closely watched, but the Judgze never put in an appearance. His wife said be had not been home all day and cer- tainly would not return during the night.

M Cunningham followed, an excellent barytone. He sang In smooth and emi- nently dramatic fashion Verdl's “Eri tu,” giving .an encore to a very en- thusiastic demand. He was honorably re-encored. Miss Zamels then “played the Preislied and then came again Mme. Patti. Transposed as it is there are none of us who have heard the “Jewel Song" sung with livelier charm by even Sem- brich or Melba. It was a revelation Then came “Home, Sweet Home™ and madame bowed to her smiling husband after her greeting. It was not until “Coming Through the Rye” that_she auite flung off all restraint. That she sang and acted until the house was a unit of idolatry. She came out until she was tired. Then came on in her shawl. Then in her purple opera cloak and at last disappeared. It was a Patti night. BLANCHE PARTINGT! ———— Laborer’s Leg Crushed.
