life of the great cantatrice of more than ordinary
interest
On one occasion, while the diva was singing
the role OF Elsa in .Lohengrin'' in BROOKLYN. an
incident occurred which afterwards led TO n
act tail, ne.looking old gentleman, wearing
the unmistakable garb OF the priesthood entered
the Academy of Music, passed well down in
'front.' and occupied seat in the orchestra.
After the curtain had descended on the last act
the reverend father sought the director of the
company and requested the favor of being
presented to the fair Elsa, stating that he
had al important communication 10 make that

ceded 70 his singular request, and conducted the

small piece of the true cross. I have had it

be benefited by it, and who by the possession,
will be frequently reminded that there is One
who keeps a never ceasing watch over those
who deserve His protection. This precious
relic is yours on one condition, and that is a
promise that whenever YOU appear as Elsa you
will wear it."
The promise was given and the little keepsake

a silent witness TO the transaction, escorted
