Kate Vannah.

In all Miss Kate Vannah has written
some 175 compositions including
Heliogoland, light opera in three acts
written in conjunction with Gilmore
Bartlett. Heliog goland has been orches-
traed and will probably soon be publish
ed One of the latest of Miss Vannah's
productions is My Bairnie, a very pretty
melody which has been made famous on
the other side by Bleauvelt who is very
fond of this and of many of Miss
Vannah's songs The New York
Commercial Advertiser recently stated
that there is more of Kate Vannah's
music sold than there is of any woman
composer in the United States or of
any male composer save De Koven.
Miss Vannah really made her reputa-
tion in writing for the contralto voice
and herself prefers the serious love
ballard to any other style of song but
she is as versatile as possible and has
written almost every kind of melody
from coon song to mass. Irish
songs are favorites with Miss Vannah
and she expects to publish next year
group of German songs. and also book
of songs without words.-Brunswick

Death Hath Crowned Him a Martyr

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
In the midst Of sunny waters lo the mighty
Ship of State
Staggers, bruised and torn and wounded
by derelict of fate,
One that drifted from its mOOrings, in the
anchorage Of hate.
On the deck our noble Pilot, in the glory of
his prime,
Dies in woe-impelling silence, dead before
his hour or time,
: Victim of a mind Self-centered a Goddess
fool of crime.
One of earth's dissention- breeders, one of
Hates unreaSOning tools.
In the annals of the ages, when the worlds
hot anger cools,
He who sought for crimes distinction shall
be known as chief OF fools.
In the annals Of the ages, he who had no
thought of fame
(Keeping on the path of duty, caring not
for praise or blame,]
Close beside the deathless Lincoln, writ
in light, will shine his name.
Youth proclaimed him as a hero; time a
statesman, love man.
Death has crowned him as martyr, so
from goal to goal he ran,
Knowing all the sum of glory that human
life may span.
He was chosen by the people; not an acci-
dent of birth
Made him ruler of a nation, but his own in
trinsic worth.
Fools may govern over kingdoms-not re-
publicS of the earth.
He has raised the lovers standard, by his
loyalty and faith,
He has shown how virile manhood may
keep free from scandals breath.
He has gazed, with trust mistaken in the
awful eyes of death.
In the mighty march of progress he has
sought to do his best.
down to rest,
And may God assuage the anguish of one
suffering woman's breast.

Autumn Leaves.

To preserve autumn leaves the
gatherer should Immediately lay them
fat between two sheets of new blot
ting paper spread upon a table top
and covered by a stack of heavy
books. It is essential that all moisture
should be pressed out of them. By this
simple process they should be dry with
in three or four hours. So treated they
will retain their beautiful color fo1
years, provided they are not exposed to
the direct light of the sun. If not
thoroughly deprived of their normally
large percentage of water they will

on the ground that he was not prepared,
and that he was too hungry for supper
to be able to sing. Supper was then de-
clared next in order, and was served at
first and second tables on account of the
large number present. The ladies had
been enjoined not to be ''Marthas,' but
rather ''Marys'' on this occasion, but
they went right ahead, none the less,
and prepared repast that has never
been surpassed in the history of Dale

c. F. Conner, Mrs. VIM. Ripley and
Miss Mary Randall were the Marthas
OF the occasion.
After supper, the exercises being re-
sumed, Sir Edmund was asked if he
could still plead insuhiciency of time to
prepare, or lack of food to sustain him
in the effort to sing, and as he respond
ed that he could, the President acted as
his substitute, reading the Russian
Horatius. General Ivan Popolofosode-

timely selection with her usual excel
