Director.

To sit as did a Planet reporter a Few days ago.
In very atmosphere OF sweet harmony, created
by DIR. NerrinGer's macician-like touch was
experience that might well be envied, and one
calculated TO inspire the most sentimental rev.
cries. But sentimental moods finally vanish
and leave one facing the sober and practical
side of life. The music ceased and the CONVEX
sation took a turn leading to the real object OF
the reporters call.

hverance from death. which you have met with

what foundation there is for them, and. If any,
furnish me with the true facts for publication"

laughed. 81 have not he replied, "been

of my rescue from the grave might fttingly be
prefaced by little of my early history. We
resided in England, where though was a pro-
fessor of music, was not dependent on my art,
as had acquired a competence. Ny wife was

Quebec, where anticipated getting an engage

appointed. Subsequently moved TO St
Catharines. in which city I procured al organ
and choir and soon had a large clientele. Later,

St Peters Cathedral. In those cities I made
many warm friends, and their tributes and
gifts shall ever retain as among the most
precious of my possessions. 1t was while living
In London and pursuing my art with much
earnestness and labor that received a stroke
of paralysis. Perhaps,"-here the speaker rose
and stretching himself to his full height thus
displaying his well-built and well-nourished
frame-"I do not look like paralytic But the
truth is have had three strokes-yes, sir; first,
second and third and they say the third is
fatal, ninety-nine times out of one hundred.

No drugs seemed to have a counter-acting infiu-

down to death. My wife would sit at my bed

which was all that could be done to relieve me.
