Tor a quarter of a century thereafter
was probably this country's most pop

russo of yesterday. He sang with Patti
at her debut, with Nilsson, La Grange,
~Parepa-Rosa, Tietjens-all the great
singers of his time. He had the coun-
try at his feet.
Many are the memories that come
to me of poor Brignoli. whom | met
several times. at last to know quite
we'll. But most vivid of all my recol-
lections OF him is that Of our last
meeting. which occurred but a few
months before he died in poverty
he who for years received what were
then unprecedented sums for singing,
excepting, possibly. those paid to Pat
Il and Nilsson.
Returning to my hotel about mid

was held in Chicago in 1884, l heard

Brignoli, whom l had not seer for
about a year, and then in Washing

What Is the trouble?" asked.

He touched his breast. Sick

For a moment he was silent. Then
his heart spoke.

He would have had a good trade. He
