Gen A. r. Farnham has recently
come into possession of a cane which
is something Of novelty in the way of
a walking stick. and is priced by him
because of the fact that it was owned
by his brother, William Henry Farn-
ham. The cane, which is simple in de-
sign, being square and tapering slight
ly from one end to the other, was
owned by Mr.. Farnham when he was
a student at Waterville (now Colby
College, in 1871, but the distinctive
features of the stick are it's decora-
tons. There are several prints, in
Guiding one of George Washington.
which were cut out and pasted on the
stick and there are also inscribed in
ink the names Of the faculty of the
college at that time and the names Of
the members of the class Of 1S41. to-
gether with few records of events in
the college life of the owner. After
the decorations had been completed
the cane was vanished, thus preserv-
ing the inscriptions for all time. Cell
eral Farnham secured the cane of
relative in Auburn short time ago,
who had had it for a long time and at
whose former home in Winthrop it
had been left by the owner when he
was yet q student at the college above
mentioned.

salary and filed many engagements
for concerts and for star performances
at other opera houses. At this time,
too, she separated from her husband

1896 led to her engagement in London
and this country, where she made her
debut in 1898 Nine Schumann-Heini

A few days ago the Journal printed
a paragraph relative to the finding by
F. E. Blaisdell, in his house on Bangor
street, which was formerly the board
ing house of the old Cony Female
Academy. of record on the under
side of a shelf bearing which stated
that Thomas Little had paid John
Greeley $11 for labor on the house in
Nov 1927. The Thomas Little mem
toned was the father Of James S. Lit
tie Of this city. and the latter tells the
following bit of a story in connection
with the building in question. Mr..
Little was a contractor and builder,
and the contract for the erection of
the boarding house was the first one
that he secured after embarking in
business. In those times a days
work was from sunrise to sunset,
which allowed of some pretty long
hours during the spring and early
summer time. but when Mr.. Little
came to figure up the cost when the
building was completed he found that
he was 500 out in cash and also the
time that he had put into the work.

sented and borrowing enough money
from a friend to travel third-class to
the German capital, she started in the
night train sitting up all night on the
hard bench of a third-class compart-
ment. She arrived in Berlin early i'm
the morning. The rehearsal was not
until 10 o'clock, but she felt that she
could not afford to go to a hotel to rest,
so she walked to the Thier Garten and
sat there until rehearsal time. When
she entered Krolrs, Botel rushed up to
her exclaiming: "Well, you really have

didn't you go to the hotel, as 1 told

have no chance to rehearse, but for
years she had been begging him in
vain to let her appear in some impor-
tant role, and this was her opportunity.
So she went on without a rehearsal
and scored tremendous success.

but was made in Dresden on Sept. Z,
1878. as Azucena in Trovatore. 1t was
successful debut. She was in Dres-
den four years, singing mostly minor
roles like the shepherd in Tannhauser.
Her contract obliged her to also sing in
church. Though she had been trained
vocally, she had received little musical
education, and most of her singing was
by ear. The conductor Of the music
in church was Herr Krebs, the hus-
band of a famous contralto, Krebs-
Michalese, the greatest Fides of her
time. They were the parents of Marie
Krebs. the pianist, who from 1870 to
1872 gave 200 concerts in this country.
Singing the complicated church SER
vices by ear was quite different mat
ter from singing in opera, and at d
Corpus Christi service, between looking
over the rail at the court people below
and her lack of musical education, the
young singer broke down in the midst

hard a blow that the welt was visible
for several days. From that moment
she made up her mind that she must
study, and she began taking a severe
course of technical instruction with
Franz Wullner.
She was in Dresden four years. Then
she married a retired army officer
named Heink. Her marriage gave
much displeasure, and she lost her
Dresden engagement. After an inter-
val of a year she received an engage
ment at the theatre in Hamburg. The
next five years were most unhappy
for her. Her marriage did not turn
out well, her remuneration was small
and the manager, knowing her plight,
took advantage of her poor circum-
stances and obliged her not only to
sing in opera but to appear in farce
and comedy. She had three children,
and was expecting a fourth when the
tenor, Botel, heard her sing. He was
soon to have a benefit performance at
Kroll's in Berlin, and being struck with
her voice and acting, asked her if she
would take part in his performance.
He told her he could not pay. her-not

it would be a good opportunity for her

Parsifal Draws Crowd.

Hagy's Scenic Theater was literally
packed to the doors last evening with
an appreciatiye audience. Two per-
formances were given, both being well
patronized. Those who are familiar
with Wagner's Parsifa will enjoy their
presentation. They are striking repre-
sentations of the time and customs
which "Parsfa" stands for. This is
worth going to see and no one should
miss it, for it is really good.
