WONDERFUL VOICE O OF CHARLES GILBERT M Chas. Gilibert of the Manhattan Opera Company appeared in a recital of French Songs before the Musical elub of Hartford, Conn., and ably sus tained the enviable reputation which lie established there on a former visit. His audience was captivated even before M. Gilibert sang his first song, and from that time on was fair ly carried away. The Charm of Gilibert's singing lies not so much in the splendid baritone voice, nor in the well nigh faultless manner In which he uses it, as in the strong magnetic quality of the person ality behind it. The vocal and tech nical niceties of the singer's art are all apparent, but there is something more, some indescribable attribute which for the want oS a better name one calls magnetism, personality, tem-t perament. That is the secret or Utii ibert's singular charm and appeal. It is not so much the singer's art, as the artistry, the temperament wmcn per TTipatps and transcends it. The voice is rich in tonal color and the upper and lower registers are exquisitely modulated. The freedom and supple ness of his technique, the ease and grace of tone production and the spon taneity of execution and delivery are delightful. He is a singer to wnom singing is not an effort, but a plea mire. Gilibert's enunciation is wonderful.' Though singing in a foreign language it was apparent to all that nota syl lable was slurred over or shiftlessly pronounced. Mr. Gilibert will be heard in a recital, under the auspices of the Wednesday afternoon Musical " . Club, April 13, at 3:30 at the First Congrega tional ohurcn. - HEATBD STACK CAUSES FIRE.

Banks, one of the conservators for Mrs. Curtiss, received a telegram to the effect that the upper court had reversed the de cision of the lower court, denying the appellants right to have a jury- trial for the purpose specified. One ground for the reversal of the lower court was that Mrs. Curtiss is not a legal resident ef New Tork, and if she wishes to pursue the matter further, must bring an action in Fairfield county. Mrs. Curtiss was declared incompe tent In this State In 1907 on the ground of Intemperance and mental derange ment.
