JAMES H. cAFFERTY.


James H. Cafferty, basso at the First
Universalist church, is a native of New
York city, coming to Worcester when
quite young, and obtaining here all the
musical instruction he has received.
He has studied under c. J. Rice, Ivan
Morowski and w. S. G. Kennedy, learn
ing harmony from A. S. Allen.
Mr.. Cafferty's first church work was
at All Saints, IA year ago, where he
sang in the choir for three years. Then
he received a position in the quartet of
Trinity Methodist church, remaining
there one year, and singing next at Old
South for one year. In 1890 he went to
the First Universalist church, where he
sang for five years leaving there to ac-
cept a position at Plymouth for two
years and at All Souls for two years
more going back to the First Univer-
salist at the beginning of the present
year
Besides his church singing Mr.. CAT
ferty has sung with innumerable choral
societies. chief among them being East
Bridgewater Choral society, Fitchburg
Choral society and the Worcester festi-
val chorus in '93, at which time he was
associated with Miss Evangeline Flor
ence in the oratorio THE Creation" He
is a member of the Odd Fellows and
Masonic quartets and was one of the
original members of the Schumann
quartet.

MRS. INEz BUss-KNoWLEs.

Mrs. IneZ Buss-KnoWles had peen
singing several years before she ac-
cepted her first salaried position in the
choir of the Baptist Church in Mill
bury With the money thus earned
she began taking lessons in voice Gull
turc of Miss Cassandra Mason, who
used to sing in Piedmont Church choir,
and later with Mrs. Ingraham- Adams
of the Church of the Unity choir. At
ter six months in Millbury, which, by
the way, has been the cradle of many
u successful Worcester singer Mrs.
Knowles accepted a position in the
Main Street Baptist choir, where she
renls tned three years, leaving to go to
the First Baptist Church. There she
was soprano soloist for five years, as
Stunning the duties of director during
the sixth year. Mrs. May Sleeper
Ruggles and the late e. N. Anderson
We're her teachers, and later she studied
assiduously with w. T. Dobson of Bos-
ton, going to his studio three after
moons a week for lessons. This spring
she has been working with ]. c. Bart
lett of Boston, tenor sOloist at
Plymouth church. When Mrs. H. f.
Harris resigned from the choir of the
First Universalist Church, Mrs.
Knowles was chosen soprano soloist in
her place, a position she now occupies.
Mrs. Knowles is the possessor Of an
exceptionally sweet, pure, even quality
Of voice, which she uses with artistic
effect in oratorio as well as church and
concert work.

WELL KNOWN CHURCH CHOIR SINGERS.

Religious music has, through all
ages, been one of the chief means used
by the church to praise God. Begin
ming with the first days when the
hymns and psalms were sung by the
early worshippers hidden in caves and
obscure huts to escape persecution,
through the middle ages, when the
monks had control of the music,
passing on to the congregational sing
ing of the small churches, where who
ever could squeeze out Crock of Ages
on a wheesy melodion was called the or
ganist, and where whoever would, could
sing, music of praise has reached it's
high development in the quartet and
soloists of the present day church.
Communities and churches have al
ways felt friendly rivalry in their
singers. But it is not necessarily the
wealthiest church that gets the best
musicians, nor is it the largest city.
Worcester is an example of the latter
fact. This city leads the commonwealth
in its church music, and it is not UNI
usual for members of the church
choirs here to be invited to Boston
churches on special occasions.
And as frequently do visitors from
other and larger places comment upon
the excellencies of the singers here.
The Spy this morning presents its
readers with portraits of some Of those
who have helped to make the city IA
nous in this line. These are by no
means all of the good singers to be
heard in Worcester churches. 1t would
take an entire number to publish all
the pictures, but there are enough to
show what Worcester is doing and can

York. There are comparatively few
Protestant churches in Worcester in
which Mrs. Ruggles has not sung She
was a member of the Old South choir
when that church was located on the
common. She was then a girl in the
high school, Afterwards she sang at
Salem street two years, Piedmont one
year, Salem street again three years,
Union one year and Old South, with the
bis quartet, headed by Caroline Gard
ner Clarke of Boston, two years. This
is her fourth year in Plymouth church
choir Last winter Mrs. Ruggles con-
Quoted a very successful production of
Lehmann's I'm a Persian Garden"
preceded by a miscellaneous concert,
the whole being of marked merit.

MRS. LOUISE sHUMwAY HERON.

Although Mrs. Louise Shumway
Heron's rich contralto voice, of great
power and range, is now ranked among
the best for church work in the city,
until within a few years Mrs. Heron
was known as aninstrumental perform
er rather than a vocalist for she began
her musical career as a piano student
with Mrs. Carrie King-Hunt of Wor-
cester and E. A. Macdowell of Boston.
She gave a recital in Association hall
in this city, at which she played diff
cult compositions exceedingly well, and
gave promise of a brilliant future as a
pianist and teacher. She then took
up vocal music with Walter Scott Ken
redy, and later went every day to Bos-
ton to take lessons of Charles r. Adams
and Miss Gertrude Franklin. Mrs.
Marion Titus was a pupil of Miss
Franklin's at the same time as Mrs.
Heron, then Miss Shumway, and the
two ladies appeared together many
times, both here and in Boston. Mrs.
Heron has sung in the quartets of Cen
trail and Pilgrim churches, but is not
at present engaged permanently with
any choir. In 1896 she won the first
prize at Martha's Vineyard for an es-
say on music in a contest with over 100
students from all over the country who
were in attendance at the institute.
