Annie Louise Cary Had Borrowed
$4,000 to Pay for Her Musical
Education and Couldn't Afford
to FAIL

Annie Louise Cary, who retired to
private life in 1882, following her
marriage to the late Charles M. Ray
mond,. was one of the first American
girls to give Maine fame as a mother
OF operate song birds of the first Or
der. This she did in the late sixties,
and from then On until the day of her
marriage hers was one of the famous
contraito voices of the civilized world,
more than realizing the prediction
James G. Blaine made when he heard
her sing on the day of her graduation
from girls school near Portland,
Me.-that. with her voice properly
cultivated, she would have a greater
career as a singer than as teacher,
which was the vocation her friends
had planned for her.
Encouraged, if not inspired. by this
praise from one who was growing
daily in public POWER in Maine, Miss
Cary decided to cultivate her voice.
She studied in Portland, then in Bos-
ton, and finally there came the inev-
liable day when she babe good-by and
sailed away to contine the study of
music abroad.
For two years she applied herself
in Milan, under the direction of the
celebrated instructor, Giovanni Corsi,
at the end of that period. receiving
her first opportunity to test her voice
before the critical public-she was
cast for the contralto part in the COM
pany which was to sing for the first
time Verdi's 1.-THE Masked Ball.
using the English translation of the
Italian title-in the opera house in
Copenhagen in the presence Of the
royal family of Denmark.
When Miss Cary's friends heard of
it some of them alarmed, went to her.
Annie" they said, don't you think
you are little too ambitious? Don't
you think you are risking your entire
career by essaying to appear for the
first time in grand opera in the highly
critical capital of Denmark, with the
king and the other members of the
royal family looking on?"

Grant Ingenious on Farm

"Often l saw the captain at work IN
the fields, both early and late, and
in this way l came to learn that he
was a perfect master of horses. | re-
member that upon one occasion | saw
him trudging behind pair of horses
as he plowed a field which. ! have
been told. his father-in-law had given
him for clearing it.
Some days after l had thus beheld
Captain Grant earning his bread liter
ally by the sweat of his brow. hap
pened to be passing his way again,
when, while still some piece of, l saw
something that made me stop and look
in a sort of wonder.
Plainly enough. Grant was harrow
ing the field with the same horses he
had piowed it with few days before.
He also was riding one of the horses.
but why was ne swinging an arm in
such energetic fashion? At first
thought be might be doing 1t to guide
the horses, but they kept on in a
straight line through the field, and
knew that my guess was wrong. Per
haps he is using the lash on them,
said to myself, but moment later !
made out that he had no whip in his
hand.
"By and by, as stood watching tn J
unusual sight, the captain turned his
team at a corner of the field, and then,
for the first time, saw what he was
up to. Upon the back of the horse
which he was not riding he had fas-
tened a large sack containing seed
wheat, think it was, at this late date,
though it may have been oats Any
way, with one eye upon the harrow, to
see that 1t was working properly, and
with the other upon his horses, the
captain, with a sort of methodical
rhythm, was thrusting hand into the
sack of grain, withdrawing it filled
with seed, and scattering the contents
over the field with that energetic
swing of his arm that had attracted
my attention. He had hit upon sim
pie plan of doing two days work in
one,
For while after making this dis
covery l stood watching him. As he
neared me l heard him talking to his
horses as though they were intelligent
beings and they seemed to obey him
almost instinctively. And so, with a
perfect understanding, as it were, es-
tablished between him and them, the
captain both narrowed and sowed at
the same time, and, presume, in the
course of the day had the field COM
pletely narrowed and sown. Later in
the year, l saw 1t as f1ourishing
field. of grain; and afterwards, when
/ heard of Grants strategy at Vicks'
burg, which revealed to the country
the mans ingenuity and strategy at
their best, there came to my mind
vivid picture of soldier-farmer.

How President Arthur and James G.

tesy at the Yorktown Centen-
NAL Celebration.

When tie late William Renry Hunt,

and Arthur, was ON the eve of sailing,
in 1882, for st. Petersburg, to take up
his new duties as our minister to Rus

course of which he spoke of the many

around the salute that was fired for
the British flag at the Yorktown cen
