Famous Tenor.

PAU, January 19.-Sisnor Ernest Nicolini
died here last night. Signor Nicolini mar
ried Madame Patti in Wales in 1856. She
had been divorced from Louis Sebastian
Henri de Roger de CahuZac, Marquis de

the early part of last year, and it was re-
ported that he was suffering from d can
cerous affection, and from complication
of other disorders. He went to Brighton,
England, from Craig-y-Nos castle, Madame
PATHS residence in Wales, and then to
Langlands bay, where his health improved.
For months. however, he has been steadily
growing worse. He finally was confined al
together to his room until his removal to
Pau, where the malady soon developed
more serious symptoms. Madame Patti of
late had rarely left her husband, except for
flying trips to fill few peremptory concert
engagements.

Through its efforts, he declared, rational

DIR. Whitman's Address.
Rav. Dr. Whitman, president of the ex-
ecutive committee, spoke on the Great
Value of Conventions to Teachers He
said, in part:
"a convention serves the teacher in two
OF inspiration. Much information is gained
by exchange of ideas. The worker in
given field is likely to regard the work
of that field of Su2remely import ant
consideration. and SO fails to put the en-
phaSis rightly upon his own work because
he lacks perspective in his view of the
work as a whole. The teacher will not he
more inclined-rather he will be less in
clined-tO cover the entire field by his in
dividual effort when he has seen how the
whole appears. He will enter upon his
specific task with such conception of the
whole that he shall realize the Importance
OF the task expected of him, and so will
work more happily and more effectively
perhaps more important than the mat
ter of knowledge gained is the matter of
inspiration. There is the element of fact,
great store of which is needed to equip
the teacher, and the element of inspira ton
under the power of which those facts are
made to live for the teacher and for his
pupils"
