The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-02-26

vannah has such a treat as was accord
ed il last Tuesday afternoon, when Herr
.Rosenthal for two short hours made life
different thing for his hearers. Ger

peaceful building with the tones of the
beautiful organ rising and falling in waves
of exquisite sound at the touch of such
an organst
