Among the thousands Of old sol

Q Detroit man who bears . peculiar
distinction. He was the last man to
touch the body Of President Abraham

David w. Fox. Of No. -1s6 Pingree-

iment, the Twenty-fourth Michigan,
and at the time Of Lincoln's death the

The body Of the president was es-
corted TO the grave near Springfield

hands, lifted Lincoln's head and plac.
ed the pillow under II.
A minute later the casket was clos
ed and the body was lowered to fta

by "Hellish tsaiousies. always born
Of selfishness. now grown to gigantic
proportions.
"Out of the tremendous loss of life
and destruction of property" he said,
we may hope some good may come.
We can hope for a greater freedom

tries on whom the burdens Of war rest
heaviest. Thank Cod that the pur-
pose OF your forty-eighth encampment

OF Madame Aida, reviews write:
1T was not until last season that
Frances Aida had her chance to sing
the role of Mimi at the Metropolitan
Opera house, in New York, 81 theater
where older favorites had won their
successes as Puccini's fascinating, but
frail heroine. Advance notices dis
closed nothing of what Madame Aida
would do in the new role, new for her
but the public which had so greatly
admired her Desdemona. was prepared
to enjoy Alda's Mimi quite as keenly.
The consensus of opinion the day after
the performance resulted as Alda's
public predicted--it was an over
whelming triumph for the Australian
soprano"
William J. Henderson, the New
York Sun critic. one who most singers
fear, stated in his review:
Beauty and Simplicity.
Madame Alda's singing Of the
music of Mimi had the charms of
natural beauty of voice and simplicity
of style"
Mr. Krehbiel. of the Tribune, de-
clared in his report:
but no apology was needed for
Madame Aida last night. Her voice
has the fresh youthful quality which
lovers of the play like to associate with
the fragile heroine, and the music is
easily within it's technical demand. and
her skill as an actress compasses all
its histrionic needs"
The Morning Telegraph waxed elo-
auent in It's essay:
'Alda's throat, like an abundant
fountain, poured forth foods of
crystalline song. Her tones were full
and free and true. They reflected her
emotion as dewdrops reflect the morn
ing sunlight. Her Mimi was a win
some and fiowerlike woman, swayed
like a flower in the wind, by the de-
sire of the moment and like the flower
quickly fading into DEATH
The Press closed Its comments on
Alda's impersonation with these strong
words:
"Connoisseurs have always recognlz-
ed the natural beauty of Madame
Aldas voice. In the third act the
soprano obtained admirable results
vocally and histrionically. winning
many curtain calls and flowers"
