WHEN ON HIS DEATHBED

Washington, Feb 2o.--The sequel has

some days ago, Of Musician Harry Mel
son Of the Eleventh Cavalry, whose dis
charge was ordered by Secretary Taft in
order to allow the young man to go 10
Fort Dodge, Iowa, and earn living for
his wife and infant child. Tragedy step
ped in just at the moment when all
seemed TO be progressing happily, for
Nelson died from typhoid fever in Cuba
just after receiving the order for mis-
discharge.
The musician married beautiful
young woman from Germany, who came
70 this country as an emigrant, and
found employment at the army post at
fort Dies Moines, as q maid for the
families of officers. She had numerous
admirers, but Nelson won her at last,
and the colonel and his wife approved
the match and had the marriage take
place in their house.
Then. the husband was ordered to
Cuba with his regiment ana the young
wife went to Fort Dodge and worked
there until her baby was born. Nelson
soon found that nc could not support
family on his meager pay, 50 he applied
for discharge, which was refused. His
wife then appealed to Senator Dollivef
to get him discouraged, and the Senator
lsl~ the case before Secretary Taft, who
promptly decided that Nelson should be
ordered back to Fort Des AIoines and
mustered out
The order went TO Cuba without delay
but it reached Nelson when he was IN
the grip of typhoid and the disease
speedily proved fatal. An effort will
now be made TO get Congress to pen

that Nine. Planet IS pledged on this
her first trip to America.
She comes specially commissioned
by the French government on this mis-
sion, and she and her husband are
further intrusted with the plan to "a
miliarize Americans with the music OF
the French composers, those outside
of Massenet and Saint-Saens being
comparatively unknown.

students In Paris who, after obtaining
a musical education, were thrown upon
their own resources without having
had an opportunity Of showing what
they could do Consequently in 1908
she organized these girls into L'Union
Artistique de Femme frances. This
included an orchestra Of ninety pieces,
In which all the instruments were play
ed By women.
According to Nine. Planet, 1t has
proved tremendously successful.
in this way every girl who has tai
ent. or thinks she has. can have the
opportunity Of showing what she can
do Ii practice" said Nine Planet.
This not only helps the girls to become
known, but they can mako a living at
the same time. as they are all paid,
"Ail Of the great French artists have
conducted their own scores at these
concerts. and so the students have the
benefit Of the training Among the

There is no speculation about the
plan. for If there Is any money left
from the concerts 1t goes into a fund
to help girls IN distress. Many suffer
