HIGHLY ELOQUENT
AND VERY BEAUTIFUL
“LIKE SPARKLING WATER RIPPLING FROM THE SPRING" V/1WTW
MEMORIAL ADDRESS DELIVERED BY PROF. E. L. MARTIN IN
THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.AT ROME, QA., ON SUNDAY LA6T.
la referring In dowlas terms to the
bsantifal memorial exercises held In
It First Baptist church by the Rome
Lode* of inks on lost" Ssbhsth, the
Evening Herald of that city says:
The address by Hen. E. I.. Martin of
Moron was full of beautiful thoughts
dtoquently expressed. Indeed. It Is im
passible to give a satisfactory synop
sis of this remarkably eloquent ad
dress; for It came from his lips os
sparkling water rippllpg, from the
spring—*0 constantly flowing and so
Spontaneously, that one liad to be there
to catch the full beauty of It.
He spoke throughout of this being
not only a time of *r»d memories, but
also of hope “for those who dwelt *0
happily with us on earth, having but
passed from the lesser, liiNlgnlflcant
life, to the greater, broader, more
beautiful and perfect life beyond..
He s^oke of the four cardinal points
of the order, calling them Truth. Jus-
Dee. Brotherly Love and Charily, quot
ing HI. Paul's declaration that "the
greatest of these Is charity."
He spoke reverently of the goodness
of God and His divine power, of his
creating the universe, of the matchless
beauty of the stars and the perfect
beauty of a flower; pointing upward to
S wreath of lovely roses he said,
••What is a flower? Just a thought of
God, painted by the brush of Omnlpl-
tence and perfumed by the fragranco
Of Heaven."
He bade the bereft hearts remem
ber Longfellow’s Immortal words:
•There Is no death—what stems so
Is transition.
This Ufa of mortal breath Is but a
suburb of the life elyslan
Whose portals we call Death."
After graphically elaborating Dm
fact that In all ages and In alPreglons.
man had testified his faith In God
and eternal life even "from the earliest
mom of human hlatory, where the
glory of Egypt rose and fell, but left
behind the towering pyramids, which
for ages past had kept their silent
vigil o’er the dust of the mighty dead,’’
he sold:
"So. voicing immortality had come
incarnate love, sung by heavenly
choirs, and awakening the slumbering
spirits of poetry, of music and of art
to give forth their hlgheat expressions,
when depicting things eternal and
divine, and voicing the hope born of
love divinely sent."
Ills closing was in Ahe^c-superlatlve-
ly beautiful and Inspiring words:
"Life seems to move by contrasts,
fhe brighter the light, the greater the
darknes**. The sun. when at his meri
dian splendor, rants deeper, sharper
shadows, than when first he parts the
curtains of the rnorn. or drawa them
again at eventide. Ko the gloom of
g*-lef that enshrouds tho bereaved,
seems darkest and deepest at tho very
moment those they mourn are enter
ing Into the meridian splendors of
eternal life; but with the eye of Faith,
we may cleave In tw’aln those shadows
and behold beyond that blessed light
thnt never wanes."
O! Rarth that blooms, and birds that
sing.
O! stars thnt shine when all Is dark!
In type and symbol thou dost bring
The life divine, and bid us hark
That we may catch the chant sublime
And, rising, pass beyond the bounds
of Time:
Where we ehall gain tHs goal dlvlna
A glorious Immortality!

MRS. PRATT.
Says She Is In Excellent Health and Feels
as Vigorous as a Girl. Due to tha
Uaa of Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey.
Mrs. Phoebe Amelia Pratt, widow of
William pratt. yesterday celebrated her
ninetieth birthday anniversary at her
home, 166 Broadway. Chelsea. A recep
tion whh held from 2 to 6, during which
the old lady received numerous callers
and was the recipient of many presents.
She was asalNtad In receiving by Mr. and
Mrs. George Prntt of Stoughton. Mr. and
Mr*. Charles H. Pratt of Chelsea. Mrs.
Eugene Pratt, two of her grandchildren,
Chester and William Pratt, of Chelaer
and Ida and Mabel Pratt of Stoughton.
The reception was planned by her rela
tives and members of the First Baptist
church of Chelsea, of wlbch she Is a
member.
During the summer Mrs. Pratt wrote:—
1 'Gentlemen:—! am now almost 91 years
of age and am In excellent health, owing
to the use of Duffy's Ms It Whiskey. Ca
tarrh of the throat troubled me for four
years, and 1 tried many remedies, without
any benefit, until a friend induced me to
try Duffy's Malt Whiskey.
My general condition was very poor also
until I used Duffy's, but I am very glad to
state that since using that grand medicine
the catarrh has left me. my general health
Is better than It has been for years, and
I know that It has prolonged my Ufa.
I most certainly would not be without It.’’
This letter of Mrs. Pratt was tnken at
random from among thousands received
from men and women who gratefully
thank Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey for
their wonderful freedom from disease and
for their marvelous old age. More are
published In a booklet, which you may
have free by writing.

This Country Has It, Share of Those
Who Have Won Fame — Americans
as Popular Abroad as Are the Fore
ign Singers Who Come to the United
8tates.
BOSTON, Dec. 10.—Every year when
the opera season open* many stories
are told about the famous singers
who come to this country from abroad
at tremendous salaries, but scarcely a
word U said of the Americans among
them.. This la, perhaps, because the
nationality of the Americans Is fre
quently disguised under a nom de
theatre, as they have learned in Paris
to call their stage names. And there
Is also little.' said about those other
men and women, bom and trained on
thi* aide of the water, who are now
singing in the famous companies of
Europe though many of them have
never appeared in their native land.
Yet taken at it* full length, the list of
successful and distinguished singers
In opera nnd concert who were born
In the United States nnd whose voices
were first “discovered” by American
teachers is as noteworthy as that of
any other country In the world.
Probably the most famous of all the
singers, certainly,of those who are now
living, Ir AAdelina Patti. Though i
native of Madrid, she spent her child
hood In New York and made her de
but there. Annie Louise Cary, who
retired some years ago but was In her
time one of the great contraltos of both
Amtrlca and Europe, war. born In the
little town of Wayne In the Pine Tree
state. A list of American girls whose
nationality was almost forgotten dur
ing their International successes,
eludes the nnmes of Emma Nevada,
who was a Miss Wlxon till she be
came ft noted operatlc’star and adopt
ed the name of her native state: Minnie
Hauck. a New Orleans girl who made
her debut In Vienna and In her day
was the best known Carmen on the
operatic stage, and Mme. Albanl, a
Canadian by birth who spent her girl
hood In Albany. N. Y„ where she be
came so locally famous as a singer that
fund was raised to complete her
musical education abroad and who took
her stage name from the city that had
playsed so prominent a part In her
career when ahe was at 111 Marie Louise
Emma Ceclle Lajeuneaae. Each of
^hese had her first training here and In
thin generation would probably have
received most. If not all. of her musical
education without crossing the ocean..
In the present generation of singers
there are equally notable examples.
Emma Earn** Is an American, though
ahe was born while her parents were
In Shanghai, China, where her father
was a lawyer In the International court.
She learned to sing in Boston and her
first work wns in the choir of the Uni
tarian church in the suburb of New
ton. She, too, however, must go
abroad for the opportunity to enter
grand opera in which she mad her
debut in Paris in 188$. Dr.vid Bisp-

an Englishman, but he 1s n Philadel

American, though his first appearance
was In the Covent Garden opera. Lon

sons, made England his place of resi

Almost lay claim to Suzanne Adams,
for she was born In Cambridge, near
the Harvard yard, thirty-one years
ago; Sibyl Sanderson was a San
Francisco girl; Winfred Goff, another
Covent Garden principal and one of tho
Icadelng basses In Col. Savage’s com
pany that sings gra.id opera In Eng
lish. though he ft best known abroad,
graduated fro mthe How Engl Ind Con
servatory of Music here, as have so
many distinguished singers of the day.
Perhaps the best known and the most
popular of all the great sopranos of
the Metropolitan Opera Company—one
of those "foreign song birds” who flit
back to Europe each year ns soon as
the professional season closes on this
side of the Atlantic—1s Lillian Nordi
cs, and Mine. Nordlca Is an American
If ever there wns one. She was born
In Farmington. Maine, her parents of
the good American name of Norton.
Not only was her talent first discovered
In this country hut tho whole founda
tion of her musical education was laid
here. It wns by the advice of her
teacher, John O’Neill, who early saw
the wonderful possibilities In his young
pupil, that after her graduatio nfrom
the New Englnnd Conservatory of
Music in 1871, she went from Boston
to Milan to perfect herself In the Ital
Ian style that she might find the op
portunity for an engagement In grand
opera that was then to he sought only
on the continent. Very soon she had
appeared at Brescia. Italy, then In Lon
don. Paris St. Peternvurg and other
European capitals, and now she Is pro
bably the best known Wagnerian singer
In the world, while her repertoire In

Grau’a oprea company In London and

calist*—for she hs been prominent fig

now a principal In Herr Conreld'a Me
