The Wonderful Strains Of "Old Glory" the
Last to Come From His Violin.
The people of New Ulm, who were
charmed ed two years ago by the great
Hungarian violinist, Remenyi, will find
interest in the account of his tragic death,
telegraphed from San Francisco last Sun
day. The report follows:
Edouard Remenyi, who has held roy
atty enchanted and has enthralled fash
ionable audiences all over the world,
fell dead this afternoon at the Orphens
theater, IN this city.
It was Remenyi's first appearance on
the; vaudeville stage. AS the great ar
tist appeared and was greeted with tu-
multuous applause, he bowed his ac-
acknowledgements and seemed immense
ly pleased at the reception given him.
He had played two or three classical
pieces, and had answered an encore with
the most familiar "Old Glory" +
Remenyi played as If inspired. It
seemed as If he knew this was to be the
elimination of his career, and he had
determined that his final appearance
should mark his greatest triumph. He
rose to the occasion magnifcently, and
his 5000 auditors, ,asR emenyi approached
his climax, literally rose with him, leav-
ing their seats in their excitement, COM
pletely carried away by his at:',y:vement.
When the music ceased, the uouse was
swept with wild torrent of bravos.
The applause was almost deafening,
and continued for several minutes. Re-
menyi came forward, and in response to
another burst of applause, commenced
to play Delibes' "Pizzicati.' He had
just completed few bars of the diff
cult lingering when he leaned forward as
If to speak to one of the musicians in
the orchestra, continuing his piece. He
seemed to pause for minute, and then
slowly fell forward on his face. One of
the musicians caught him just before he
touched the stage, and prevented HIM
from rolling off. All was over. He was
carried from the stage, and physicians
were Immediately summoned, but the
aged musician was past medical aid.
The doctors worked upon him for some
time, but their efforts were futile.
Remenyi had seemed overwhelmed at
the great reception given him. After
playing his first selection, he said to a
frie nd behind the stage: "Wonderful! !!
a wonderful audience. Wonderful! A
great people,"
His playing of "Old Glory" was truly
enchanting. His instrument seemed to
speak. The expression was marvellous.
