Two causes in the writer's opinion,
have produced these results: the i'm
providence of the native Hawaiian,
which led him too frequently to mort

The second cause was simply the OPP

Success of Former Decorahian.

Decorah friends of MarionsB. Green
may be pleased to know that his re-
cent advancement as vocalist of spe-
cial ability and popularity is even
more rapid than when he first entered
the musical field. His work this sum-
mer has been confined exclusively to
special engagements, and for a young
man of only twenty years his success
has been almost remarkable. His sing
ing at the May Festival of Music at
Dubuque and before the Iowa State
Music Teachers Association elected
the highest encomniums, following
which he sang for a week at the
Waterloo Chatauqua Assembly and
was Immediately engaged for next
year. He is now singing at the Cha
tauqua at Boulder, Colorado, where
he was advertised for one week, but
his work was so highly satisfactory
that he was engaged for the second
week: From thence he goes to Marin
cite, Wis, where he will appear in
concert with Miss Sibyl Sammis, the
noted dramatic soprano. The demand
for him in all parts of the country is
the best criterion of his success.
