MlsssFlorence Klein, th‘e soprano sin-

It is that Miss Klein is too dramatic
in the choir gallery.
She is regarded as one of the b( st
church singers in the city, was for
years connected with the choir at
Christ church and was considered per-
haps Bridgeport’s leading soprano. A
year ago the Park street church made
her an offer for her services which ap-
peared advantageous, especially to one
who was ambitious. Miss.K,lein ac.
cepted. She has been a pspular member
of the choir. and there was no intima-
tion of dissatisfaction until recently. '
One of the staid Old deacons of the
church thought Miss Klein tossed her
head too much, and was inclined to
theatrical manners in the house of

Euten— Chemical Treatment Dis-
credited—Court Will Soon Fin-
ish .lts Labor: In the West.
CHICAGO, March 21.——The principal
witness on the list to appear before the
government court of inquiry yesterday,
Dr. Nicholas Senn,, was unable to be in
the city, whereupon the court recessed
at noon until 6 O’clock this evening,
when Dr. Senn will be heard. During
its short sessiOn the court received the
evidence of four witnesses who had
been called upon request Of Major Lee,
therepresentative of General Miles. Ac-
cording to their testimony the canned
beef was always unpalatable and dis-
tasteful, and in their judgment it was a
contributary cause of sickness among
the soldiers and unfit for an army ra-
tion. Critical reference to the refriger-
ated beef was also made by the Wit-
will be able to terminate its Chicago
'for New York. .
Dr. William G. Willard, surgeon ma-
jor of the First Illinois volunteers, tes-
tified 'that in Cuba the health of his
command was good up to July 22. Then
the sick all began to increase very rap-
idly, and by the 28th and 29th it was
as'high as 300 per day. In his judgment
this sickness was due to a. combination
Of_circumstances, of which the condi-
tion of the canned roast beef was one.
.He had no occasion to believe that any
of the beef had been treated with chem-
icals. Canned roast beef, so called, was
never a fit ration in his opinion. and it
was especially unfit for men in the con—
dition Of the troops coming back from
Cuba.
ReDlyinsr to questions from Major
Lee. Dr. Willard said: '
“On opening a Can of beef there was
usually some vacant space. The meat
was in 'strips or scraps. more or less
covered with a layer of granular fat,
uninviting in appearance. The meat it-
self had a bleached appearance and was
very tough and stringy. I do not recall
any other brand except Armour’s.”
“Please state whether or not in your
opinion the so called roastbeef of the
kind furnished the army is a wholesome
or unwholesome ration for the Ameri-
can soldier?”
“I don’t think it is a good ration un-
der any circumstances and totally unfit
in a tropical climate.”
Oliver A. Olse. quartermaster and act—
ing commissary of the First Illinois vol-
unteers. corroborated the testimony of
Dr. Willard regarding the appearance
of the canned roast beef when taken
from the can. He also did not regard
it as roast beef. As a ration for a sol-
dier he conSidered it inferior and would
place the, meat in the third grade. The
labels he saw were Armour & Co.. Lib-
by, McNeill & Libby and a Kansas City
firm whose name he, did .not recollect.
He also saw the Prarie'State; Packing
company’s brand, which in. his opinion
was the worst ,Of, all and should be
placed in a grade lower than the others.
A number'of witnesses who had been
summoned were on hand at 2 o’clock.
but none was examined. the court hold-
ing no session in the afternoon.
A Mail Thief Caught.
ROCHESTER, March ill—Fred Ar-
nold, 24 years of age, a “trolley boy"

ined the question Of the ownership of
Cuban cemeteries. It appears that since
Jan. 1 a. discussion has been in progress
in many parts of Cuba between the
'municipnlities and the church author!-
tles regarding the ownership, because,
in consequence of burial fees and the
rentals for graves, the cemeteries are a
source of profit to the pOssessor.
.The changes which followed Spain’s
withdrawal from Cuba gave an oppor-
tunity for agitating Old claims to pos-
session and for formulating new until
the American military authorities took
action and issued the following order:‘
“Possession of buildings and property
intended to be used for religious pur-
pOSes will be considered prima facie evi-
dence of title to such property until
ownership is legally established, and
the transfer of cemeteries between
municipalities and the church is prohib-
ited' until ownership is legally estab-
lishedJ' ‘ . . ..
