MCCORMACK BRE AXIS ALL KNOWN RECORDS Al NY. HIPpODRONE
Wonderful Irish Tenor Who Sings Here Next Sunday Turns Away Thousands Last Evening.

Again last evening at the New York Hfppodrome, the biggest theater in the world, John Mccormack, the foremost living lyric tenor who sings at the new Poli theater in this city next Sunday night under the auspices of the Eliza beth Seton Guild, proved that he is most popular singer before the pulp lie. The handsome young Irishman sang SIS he has seldom sang before and the critics are all agreed that his marvellous voice has never been in better form
 Again and again he. was compelled Ito respond to encores and 1t was dur ing these calls that his great hold upon the people was shown.
 His T Hear You Calling Me" and ,. Mother Machree,'' were received with an outburst Of applause that was deafening. He had previously given a, number of classical selections in- cIuding Lehmann,s pleasing "1n Per sian Garden several from Schumann and from La Bohene.' .''
 Then sKatheleen Mavourneen,r ..The Minstrel Boy" fs6other O Mine" s'sMacush1a,' and other heart songs that the great Irish artist has made mem orable the world over. were sung as he alone can sing them.
 Of McCorInack it has truly been said that he has broadened wonder fully in the past two years At that time the 1yricaln beauty of his voice ,captfvated his listeners, and it was most largely because of this that he attained his wide fame. His devel- opment has been largely on the side of dramatic expression, and this was finely shown last night in the real feeling put in those Of his songs calling for something of dramatic fer vor as we'll as those of lighter or of more tender sentiment
 Tickets are now selling at Steinert & Sons music store, p15 Main street. for the Mccormack concert at the new Poli theater next Sunday evening. Those who have not obtained their Seats can do so at Steinert & Sons only, for the tickets are not obtain able anywhere else.
 The Elizabeth Seton Guild is to meet next Friday evening in United Irish societies hall to make final arrange ments for. the coming of Mccormack.

"Ohr laughed the oak leaf, his i'll
humor instantly forgotten, then the
winds came and loosened us from the
tree and gave us such sail
"Over yards and fields, here and
there and back again, never had such
fun. You must get the wind to take
you some day and then you'll know
what living isl"
ooh dear. I'd like to po!' sighed
the pine leaves; "we're tired staying
here on this tree anyway. We're been
here on this same tree ever since we
were born!"
"Too bad" murmured the other
leaves so synpathetically that the pine
leaves felt worse than ever!
So all night long the pine leaves
fretted and sighed and begged the
wind to take them for a sail.
And all night long the wind answer
ed back: mo, we can't take you-you
are needed where you areE
In the morning some people who
lived nearby went walking under the
pines and one said: This is the poor
old pine tree that has been whining
and fretting all night"
81 wonder what it wants." said the
other person. 81 wish it was happy,
for l love its leaves that stay green
after the others have blown away"
whats that? what's that?" whis-
pcrcd the pine leaves, Somebody
loves us even if VIC are just common
green all the year through"
"Think how lonesome those kind
people would be-" whispered another
pine leaf, "if we had gone off and left
our pine tree all alonev

tied ercctly and shone happily in the
morning sunshine.
