THE COMPOSER OF "IN A PER
SIAN GARDEN

All lovers of vocal music, and especi-
ally works for mixed voices, have for
some years been familiar with the song
cycle entitled I'm Persian Garden. T"
The composer of this unique master
which was inspired by and set to
the words of the ''Rubaiyat of Omar
khayyam," is Madame Liza Lehman.
An interesting article on the life and
work of this charming woman, who was
a famous singer before she retired from
public life in order to compose, appears
IN the June number of the New Idea
Woman's Magazine. The author, who
interviewed Madame Lehman in her
home at Wimbledon, near London, gives
delightful glimpses of the quiet life
which the artist lives here with hel
husband, Mr.. Herbert Bedford, and
their children. Many interesting pho
tographs, showing Nine. Lehman in
her home surroundings, add to the value
of the text.

AMERICAN NOTES.
sHARoN's ANNIVERSARY.

Pursuant to appointment, on the
nights of May End and Bird and SUNDAY
the 5th, Sharon Baptist Church cele-
brated the eighth anniversary of the
church and the 39th anniversary of their
pastor. 1t was financial success. and
indeed, success in every way. The
music was rendered in a most accepta-
bic manner with Miss Edith i. Edwards
presiding at the organ. Rev. d. H.
Chamber rlayne, B. D., preached a fine
sermon on Thursday night. On Friday
night Rev. H. V. Washington, B. T.,
preached fine sermon which was en-
Joyed by all. After the public services
were over the pastor marched up the
aisle to the tune of Onward Christian
Soldier" escorted by Sisters P. M. Ed
wards and Clara Gaskins, Sister Flos-
sic Blackwell going on before carrying
cross on which there was a crown
with many stars. The pastor was then
presented with a purse of $1S.64, the
presentation speech being made by
Master of Ceremonies, Brother M. ].
Edwards. Next there was reception
given the pastor, deacons, members
and friends, by the committee, which
was fine affair and highly enjoyed by
all. In his presentation speech Brother
Edwards spoke of the pastors eight
years work in that neighborhood, and
among many other good things he said
that while he was not boasting, vet he
would say that when Rev. Tucker came
there eight years ago he found this
people then nine in number, without
house Of worship, but today they have
house and site on which it stands. all
paid for and membership of 13O odd,
which speaks well for his success along
that line. His demeanor to the church
and people Of the neighborhood has
been that of a sympathetic friend, a
gentleman and n christian. In the ad-
ministration of the business affairs of
the church he has shone himself to be a
Judicious ruler and leader, and these
traits have won for him place in the
hearts of this church and people that
will ever be cherished. The services
were continued on Sunday, when Rev.
II. V. Washington preacded another
soul-stirring sermon. Rev. A. H. Mon
tague was also presented and spoke
some very complimentary and encour-
aging words to the pastor. choir and
church generally. The following COM

PRINCE HENRY I'LL
GERMAN EMPEROR'S BROTHER
PATIENT IN SANITARIUM.

BERLIN, January 20.-Prince Henry of
Prussia brother of Emperor William and
commander-in-chiefo of the navy, is at pres
ent in a sanitarium at Charlottenburg,
where he is being treated by DR.. Sonnen-
burg. The Morgen Post today says the
prince is suffering with severe sore throat,
that he speaks with great difficulty, that he
can take almost no nourishment and that
it is yet uncertain whether an operation
is necessary or not. The paper adds that
the condition. of the prince does not give
occasion for serious apprehension.
Emperor William receives daily reports
of his brothers progress. His majesty
had a conference yesterday with Prof.
Schjerning. the chief surgeon of the army,
presumably on the case of Prince Henry.
An official diagnosis of the malady of the
prince has not been published.
1t is now recalled that Prince Henry, con-
trary to his usual custom, did not come
to Berlin to attend the New Year festivi-
ties at the court and offer his congratu-
lations to the emperor, and that since the
first of January he has called off a num-
Der of engagements. This the newspapers
now attribute to his severe attack OF sore

TO STAY IN THIS COUNTRY.
Colored Troops Whose Terms VIII
Soon Expire.

In order to make provision for the col
ored troops of the 9th and 10th cavalries
and the 18th Infantry, who cannot accom-
pany those organizations to the Philippines
under the recent order because their terms
Of enlistment will in the ordinary course
expire within a few months, Gen. Bell,
chief of staff. has decided to create three
troops of cavalry, one at West Point, one
at Fort Riley. Kan, and one at Fort
Leavenworth. Kan, in which these men
can serve out the remainder of their terms
of enlistment. The superintendent of the
Military Academy has already complained
of the difficulty he has experienced in OBJ
tanning regular cavalrymen for service at
that post because, among other things. they
are required to take care of the horses
used in drilling the cadets, and 1t is be-
lieved that this difficulty will be met by
stationing a troop of colored soldiers at
that academy. The men belonging to the
25th Infantry who are to be retained in
this country will be transferred to the
cavalry arm and assigned to one of the
three troops referred to.

Big Things Next Week.

Future action on their part will be taken
only after the most earnest deliberation
and full conference. Senator Crane and
Senator Aldrich were both out of town
yesterday, but win return today and a
conference with Senator Lodge has been
arranged for this afternoon, which. of
course, will be attended by other senators
of prominence.
1t was said last night that the decision
of the President to force the issue if cor
rect as reported, brings about a situa ton
which will require the most careful han
ding TO prevent the alienation from the
President of an influential faction of repub-
licans in the Senate.
The keenest regret was expressed that
the President should determine to force a
fight especially when everything seemed
so propitious for an amicable arrangement
OF the whole difficult situation. and the re-
greet was heightened by the feeling that his
determination, reported, was entirely I'M
warranted by any feature OF the case
