A Criticism.

A local musical critic says that the
"Last Rose of Summer" is an interpO-
tation in the opera of "Martha.o 1t
is rather the theme of the opera, the
air which runs through the entire
score. "Martha" without that air
would be like Hamlet" without the
Prince of Denmark.-Erpress.
The "local musical critic" will re-
spectfully reply to this piece Of non
sense that it so happens aman named
Thomas Moore was born on the 18th
day of May, 1899, and he was poet.
He wrote a great many songs and
composed many melodies. Among
these was "The Last Rose of Sum-
mer." Mr.. Moore died Feb. 25th, 1852.
Flotow was born April 9th, 1872, and
composed the opera martha" in 1858,
six years after Moore died. The first
time we heard this opera was
when it was performed in the
Boston Theatre In 1859 or 60 by Ade-
lima Patty, Addie Phillips Brigroli,
the elder Ammodio and Karl Formes.
We have heard the opera performed
many times and we fail to find that
the dialogue or sentiment has any
thing to do with the idea of the Last
Rose of Summer" except that the bal
lad was interpolated to give graceful
rounding to pleasing incident in the
narrative. There is scarcely pas.
sage in the score that in the slightest
degree corresponds with the air of the
ballad. Flotow's work will be quite
as complete without this interpola'
ton so far as his masterpiece is con.
cerned. 1t is beautiful addition, and
Is always welcome.

purpose, but the milk at the end of q
few hours becomes SO impure that no
