B own Replies to Hoar:
Washington, June 16.—When
(he Senate resumed consideration
of the Utah bill, Brown having the
floor and replying to H«ar said,
that the Senacor from Massachu-
setts had charged him (Bnwn)
with having for a great part of his
dfe sustained an institution which
pr< hihited legal marriage among a
part of the people of Geoig'n. The
*ystem of slavery to wnich the
Senator from Massachusetts had
<;a led his attention originated in
Massachusetts, and the South de-
rived much of its s'avery from that
state. Brown quoted from Elliott's
history of New England to show
th t the people of Massachuse'ts
bought ar.rl held as slaves Scotch-
men, Irishmen, In liang, Negro, s
di covering of the criminals me>t»
with little favor. The decided pref-
erence is for the formation of a
secret fund to be used at the dis-
eretion of the police.
A man has been arrested at Jar-
row who is reported to have had
snmethii g to do with the recent
London explosions.
A detachment of troops has ar-
<1 rive at the Birmingham jail to
prevent any at'empt to rescue tb.-

New York, Sune 16—A Sun
cable From London savs: An offi-
cial inquiry has shown that the
crowd wlich hissed Prince Bis-
mar. k at Fr. dericksruhe last wpek
was composed of Schleswig-Hol-
stcin workmen, who were imbued
with the bitter anti Prussian feeling
which has been entertained in cer-
tain portions of that province ever
sine# its conquest in 1864.
A Times commissioner called on
Miss Letitia Fritch, in her room a'
the Grand Central, this morniny,
nnd found the lady busily pursuing
her operatic studies, in company
with her sister and Mr S'oddarc.
After an interesting conversation
on matters in general, the scribe re-
ques ed the artiste to favor him
with a brief outline of her earl v his-
tory and preparation for the st<ge.
The charming little lady graciouslv
assented, and the following facts
were elicited from the conversation
that ensued:
Miss Letitia Fritch wa« horn at
St. Louis. Mo., in 1862. From he
not her, an Italian, she inherits her
artistic and musical temperamen1,
and her graceful movements and
strength of character from her
father, an Alsacian. Iler career has
been very bright. The first time
she essayed to sing in public was at
Belleville, Illinois, before an audi-
ence of 2000 people. The gentleness
and delicaey of the child attracted
the attention of critics when, stand-
ing upon a piano, she sang with all
her young strength the praises to
the soldiers of her country. She
scored on enthusiastic success, tak-
ing the old veterans bv storm, at
once becoming a favorite. When
but 15 years old she gained, against
450 competitors a gold medal for
vocalization at the Beethoven Con
servatory of Music, St. Louis. In
order to finish her musical educ -
tion she proceeded to Europe,where
she spent three years and a half at
Frankfort-on-the-Main and London,
England,following her course under
the tutelage of Jules Stockhausen
and Von Dicker. When she re-
turned to the United States she be-
gan singing in oratorial concerts,
iook a long tour with the celebrated
pianist, Joseffy, and also with the
celebrated Giimore conc rt com-
pany. After fourteen months' train-
ing she determined to adopt Ihe
stage,nnd during her debuts at New
York, San Francisco, Denver and
other large cities her career has
been a grand success. She is not
only a fine artiste, but has also re-
ceived a complete educa ion, speak-
ing with fluency English, German,
and Italian; her talent as a
pianiste is also well known. Her
voice is refreshingly sweet, of great
compass—really remarkable among
first-class sopranos. Her echoes are
beautifully distinct, resembling the
warbling of a nightingale- in the:r
bird-1 ke melody. " The trills and
vocalizations are simply perfection.
Her action on the stage is that of a
born ar'iste. Her expression is
sweet, eminently sympathetic, com-
plexion fair, hair blonde, eyes ex-
pressive and intelligent, making her
countenance beam with an expres
sion of rare purity and vivacity,
her movements being as graceful us
those oi a fawn.
In conclusion, Miss F. is, above
all, a studious and conscientious
artiste, devoting all her time to
ber professional studies with much
ardor, which undoubtedly guaran
tees her a glorious future. Her re-
cent tour through Mexico with the
Hess company was one grand ova-
tion, receiving valuable gifts front
prominent citizens in all the lead-
ing cities of the country. At Leon
she had the lion »r of receiving from
the generals and officers of the
Seventh division of the Mexican
army a sash in the national colors,
with her name inscribed thereon.
Ml presents made her in Mexico
bear the inscription, "Sweet Heart."
That a bright future is in store
for the talented representative of
St. Louis there can be no doubt,
and under the guidance of such a
veteran manager as C. D. Hess, her
success is doubly assured.
Heavy Wind Storm.
A heavy wind storm vuti ed our
city this afternoon, doing consider-
able dam ige. The tin roofs over the
Hague building and Rio Grande
pharmacy, on San Antonio street,
were torn off. feigns, boxes, awn-
ings, etc., were indiscriminately
scattered through the air and
about the streets, bu* at the time of
our going to press the storm was
on the wane. Thero is no calcu-
lating at the present writing the
amount of damage that was done to
stores, houses and out-buildings.
Hook and Ladder Company No. 1
was promptly called into service,
and the fire laddieB were working
like beavers to protect property.
Life in Siberia.
Life iri the Siberian mines is not
such an altogether unmitigated
curse as popular imagination pic-
tures it. From some of the great-
est evils which men elsewhere have
to suffer, the convicts in' Eastern
Siberia are (it appears from a local
newspaper qtio'ed by The! Tablet)
happily deliver, d. There is indeed
marriage and giving in marriage,
but there is no courtship, nor need
any man complain that he is "mat-
ed »o a savige" or a shrew. When
a prisoner wishes to get married, all
n, has to do is to send in ah appli-
cation to the overseer, whostraight-
way allows him a wife. Three days
probation is then allowed, and if
any incompatibility of temper seems
likely to arise the man receives
twenty-five lashes and another wife,
and so on until he is cemtented.
The lashes seem perhaps an unne-
cessary severity; but after all would
ot many men gladly pay the price?
