THE MACON TELEGRAPH'S SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER ir, 1904. J 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!

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.

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- hnm, now making a concert tour of the country. Is generally thought of as an Englishman, but he 1s n Philadel phian nnd hi* career haa been largely American, though his first appearance was In the Covent Garden opera. Lon don, and he has, for professional rea sons, made England his place of resi dence for some years. Boston may 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 cludes. altogether. 40 operas and all the standard oratorios. Mme. Homer, or as Americans still prefer to call her, Mrs. Louise Homer, long the contralto prlma donna of John Grau’a oprea company In London and one of the best known European vo calist*—for she hs been prominent fig ure In oper t Vichy and Brussels—and now a principal In Herr Conreld'a Me tropolitan Opera House Company, In New York, came originally from Penn sytvania and got o all her training at the conservatory of music here, to which ahe frequently returns as to her alma mater. Geraldine Farrar, who has never been heard In this country but has been th* sensation of two sea sons in Berlin, and promises to become one of the "stars among stars." Is th* daughter of the Farrar who was once "crack" first baseman of the Phlladel phta league nln, and waa brought up tn the town of Melrose, not five miles from the Massachusetts atate house. Tennessee haa given the Italian stage Miss Marguerite Korrl—her plain American name Is Fretting—-though she haa never been heard by her fel- lowcountrymen since she left the Con* servatory In Boston; and Ralph Os borne. who went from the operatic school two years ago, first to Palermo and then to Madrid, la already one of the favorites of Southern Europe though he la yet to hava his American "premiere." j Our Holiday Sale { Begin Tomorrow We have made most elaborate preparations for this yearly feature of our business.

In the West, particularly, there has been a new Interest in matters mu sical.
