A Voice Left BY Will.

81 have known many singers in my

and their voices, but l have never
heard of but one case where a man
willed his voice to another" said MIR.
l.. E. Cannon, the baritone, in talking
with your correspondent recently.
'Sher' Campbell. the baritone, who,
with William t. Castle, did SO much
in making English opera a success in
this country" said MIR. Cannon. was
raised in Salem, Mass, the place where
l hail from. Before Campbell and
Castle began singing in opera they
were ballad singers in q minstrel
troupe, and excellent ones, too. On
their first trip TO the Pacific coast they
were in a party which included John
Hecker, who had a magnificent bari
tone voice. At that time both Camp
bell and Castle were tenor singers.
Campbell's voice was even higher than
that of Castle. Hecker got sick and
had to be left ON the way. He died
soon afterward. He felt that he was
going to die, and told all the members
of the troupe that they would never
see him again alive. AS Campbell was
leaving him he said: johnny, you can

prize more, if you could will it to me,
would be your voice am tired OF
singing tenor Well, the minstrel
party went to San Francisco. While
there word came that Johnny Hecker
had died. Some weeks afterward
Campbell received the diamond pin,
which Johnny had directed should be
sent to him. With it was a note stat
ing that as he (CampbelD had asked
for the pin it would be sent him after
his (Hecker's) death. The note ended:
Il also will you my voice, which you
also asked for Campbell was very
much affected by the message. He
talked of nothing else all that day and
far into the night When he woke the
following morning he had baritone
voice. His voice had changed from a
tenor to n baritone. As you know, his
M agniticent baritone voice made his
name famous in all parts of the coun-
try, and did SO much to establish En-
1 .ish opera in this country. "-heso
