Honoring Vermont Vocalist.

It is with no little local pride that
We chronicle the successful debut in
America of the new lyric soprano, Miss
Mary Howe, at her home in Brattle-
bOrO on Friday evening. When only
ten years old Miss Howe took the part
of Josephine in Pinafore and showed
such natural ability that it was de-
cided to commence upon her musical
education at once. After few years
instruction under the leading vOcaiists
of Boston and Philadelphia she went
to Germany and has studied in Berlin
for the past two years under Goethe.
Her debut in Dresden was eminently
successful and the critics hailed her as
the second Patti, and rising star of
the first magnitude. Her repeated ap-
pearances in Berlin were as successful
as any talent of the first order could
hope to achieve. At the concert in
her own home last Friday evening Miss
Howe received unbOunded admiration
and the audience went fairly wild over
her efforts. Musical critics were pres
ent from Boston, Springfield, New
York and Philadelphia to chronicle her
success.
Miss Howe is only 10 years old,
beautiful in face and figure, and of
lovely character. Her soprano voice is
distinguished for its golden purity and
perfect ease of delivery. At the Brat
tlebOro concert one of the high E flats
in PrOch's aria was altered to high F
and all were taken with the utmost
ease and precision. Miss Howe sang
again on Saturday evening to accom-
mOdate the crowds who were unable to
procure seats for the first concert, and
will appear at the musical festival in
Worcester the last week in Septem Der.

Col. Forbes writing from here Sat
urday night to the Journal says that
the announcement of Mr.. Blaine's ina
bility to come to Vermont twill be a
great disappointment to the many
thousands of admirers of the Maine
statesman in Vermont, who would
have delighted to do honor to the
greatest of American citizens" In the
midst of this deliriOus and frenzied
Blaine craze the Boston Globes per-
tinent inquiry, "What's the matt er
with Harrison 2" is repeated for Col.
Forbes benefit.

The Jacksonville people have been
cannonading the yellow fever in that
city hoping to kill the disease in that
way. CannoDading is based on the
theory that the shock kills the germs
of the disease. The whole thing sa-
vors of superstition. Modern sanitary
science teaches that an ounce of pre-
vention is worth great many pounds
of this sort of cure.
