The comparative Importance OF the
creator and the Interpreter comes into
question when the popular song is con-
s!dered. The manner In which song
Is delivered plays OF course an impor-
tant part in its success. But a song
must have merit, although Il Is true
taat the formula for success has never
been found.
Some singers have had their reputa-
IONS made by single song and others
ave exceeded this limit by having their
names associated with two or three

For the first two years of her voice
culture Lillian was too poor to af-
ford piano. She did her prac-
ticing with the aid of pitch pipe
lent her by her friend and teacher.
She even carried her pipe to the
store with her, it is related, and prac-
ticed with it in the meal hour.
Her rise was now rapid, however.
Before she was sixteen she had sung
as soloiSt in oratorio for the Han
del and Haydn societies and had TAX
en- some lessons under Professor
O'Neill of the New England Conser-
vatory of Music in Boston.
At the age of Is she went as SOLO
ist with Gilmore's band to Europe,
where her first big success came in
the Trocadero, Paris. She now be-
came filled with ambition to appear
in opera and forthwith set out for
the Mecca of operatic students-Mi
Ian.
In 1880 she made her operatic de-
but at a little theatre in Brescia as
Violette in LA Travitat." Later in
the same year she went to st. Peters
burg and to German cities. Her repu-
tation was thoroughly established. She
became leading soprano of the Grand
Opera, Paris, and made her debut in
the summer of 1881 as Marguerite in
Faust"
While in Paris she met Frederic
Cover, an American newspaper man.
They were married in 1888, but in
1885 Mrs. Cover set about procuring
a divorce. Her suit dragged and then
,ame the news that IN. Cover had
heen lost in a balloon trip over, the
English channel. At any rate bal
oon and Cover disappeared. Some
time later there came report that
ne had been seen alive and well III
he north of India. He never troubled
the prima donna, whatever his status
If life or death.
That same year Of Covers mys
terious taking off his widow appeared
at the Academy of Music in New
York City. She did not achieve sucn
I brilliant success as she did later in
concert and oratorio.
Mme Nordica's most sensational

musical success probably was her ap
pearance in the summer of 1894 as
Elsa in the Wagner festival at Bey
reuth. She was loaded with praise by
the German critics and became known
as leading interpreter of Wagner
ian roles. She scored another and,
perhaps, greater triumph the follow
ing year as Isolde in Wagner's "Tris-
tan and Isolde" at the Metropolitan
opera house.
In 1896 the singer married Zoltan
Doeme, Hungarian tenor of medium
vocal ability, but undoubted grace of
person. Again Nine. Nordica's matri-
monial venture proved unhappy. She
obtained decree of divorce in New
York in 1904, the papers being sealed,
Her third marriage was in 1909 to
George w. Young, wealthy New
York sbanker. 1t proved felicitous.
Nine. Nordica had never allowed her
domestic affairs to arrect her artistic
career ana SHe HOW COfJliluSu 10 sing
in many countries.
Her earnings were very large. She
received $1S0,0O0 one season, and it
is understood this was not her top
mark.
In January, 1914, Nine. Nordica,
with several other artists, were re-
turning from Australia upon the Tas-
man, which ran upon reef on Tor
ris Strait. The passengers were takea
off in small boats and landed on
Thursday island. Nine. Nordica con-
tracted pneumonia from the exposure
Of these days. She was in critical
condition for some time. Then she
rallied and, against the advice of ply
sicians, set out for home. At Batavia,
Java, her candition changed for the
worse, and she was taken ashore,
where she sank rapidly.

NORDICA
DIES IN BATAVIA

Batavia, Java, May 12.-Failing to
erase from her memory the hours
of struggle between life and death
with a raging sea in the Gulf of
Papua, when the steamer on which
she was travelling from Australia to
this country was wrecked, and never
/ recovering fully from an attack of
pneumonia which followed, Nine. Lii
lisn Nordica, among Americas great
est opera singers, died here last night
after having suffered a relapse of
her recent illness.
Her plans to be united with her
husband, George w. Young, were up
permost in her mind until she lapsei
into state of Inconsistencies. Her
existence here had been one Of lone
illness for him, for during her illness
a journey of three weeks or more
separated them.
Nine. Lillian Nordiea was perhaps
TIE lluSI ulSIlilS uISilSu singer ever
born this side of the Atlantic. The
year of her birth, according to the
best accounts, was 1859. She was ::
"Way Down Easter" native of
Pennington, Me. Her childhood days
after a short schooling were spent
in Boston dry goods store.
As she was tidying up the rolls
of calico just after she shop closel
one night she began singing to her
self. A customer who happened to
be delayed heard her and marveled.
What a voice, child! Have you
ever had it trained?"
mo, ma am"
will you let me give you les

ooh, that would be grand
And so Lillian started on her mu-
steal career. By the way, her name
was originally Lillian Norton, and she
was a granddaughter of Camp Meet
ing John Allen" a famous Maine char
acter in the old days Her father
was Edwin Norton, a farmer. Allef
and Norton were not adjudged Fl;
names for a diva.

He prefaced his story with the
statement that he was a good boy.
There being no evidence to the con-
trary he proceeded. On Monday night,
he said, he locked up the house-the
Samuels were absent-and started
home.
At the front gate, he said, he was
met by a pair of desperate, Kissing
masked bandits, who poked a gym in
his face and asked If he was not the
butler. Being assured that he was
the bandits profanely ordered him to
open the house and conduct them to
the strong box, which he did, the
bandits appropriating the jewels with
sundry gleeful chuckles. They then
pusher the boy into the yard, where
all bands became nervous at the bark
of dog.
Coffee said the bandits exclaimed,

Coffee ayerred that he then, being
anxious for the safety OF the Jewels,
took them home with him and buried
them. forgetting to say anything to
Mr. Samuels about it.
Judge Broyles listened attentively
and then bound the boy over in the
sum of $1,000, which later was re-
duced to $500.
