With sorrow where all was delight;
The time has come when the darkes have to part.
Then, my old Kentucky home, good night
Weep no more my lady, oh, weep no more TODAY,
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky

For the old Kentucky home, far away
The head must bow and the back will have to

In the field where the sugarcanes grow;
No matter, twill never be light

One Sunday afternoon in the home of one of
his brothers he composed and wrote his most
ambitious composition, Come Where NV Love
Lies Dreaming" as solo and as a quartet
Foster is described as a man of comparatively
small stature, but of great physical courage He
was exceedingly sympathetic and tender hearted.
as one would naturally gather from his songs. He
is said to have been a very light sleeper and in
this connection there is a very humorous anec-
dote: One night strange dog, proving about
the place and bowling, so disturbed Foster that
he seized poker and dashing out, chased the
animal away. Next day the family made merry
OF this incident at the expense of the author and
composer of "Old Dog Tray"
In 1850 Foster married Jane Denny Nc
Dowell, the daughter of leading Pittsburgh
physician. Shortly afterward he received such
hattering offers from his publishers, Firth. Pond
& Co., of New York, that he decided to settle in
that city But after he had been there year
he grew so homesick that one day he announced
that he was going home, disposed of his furni-
ture before evening, and the next day, late at
night, rang the bell of his parents home He
remained home until 1860, when, having sepa-
rated from his wife, he again went to New York
There his unfortunate habits grew upon him and
at times he walked the streets in an old glazed
cap and shabby clothing which made him look
more like tramp than the composer of songs
that were being sung on all sides. He would
write and compose song in the morning sell
1t in the afternoon, and spend the proceeds in
dissipation before night. In January, 1864, while
suffering from fever in a cheap hotel he rose
during the night for drink of water was so
weak that he fell when the washstand, and.
in SO DOING struck against the broken lip of the
pitcher and gashed his neck. He lay on the floor
nsensible until discovered in the morning by
servant who was bringing towels to his room
When revived he asked to be taken to Bellevue
Hospital, where he died from fever and loss of
blood on the 18th of January. His identity not
being known at the hospital, his body was taken
to the morgue, where it remained until finally
his friends traced it and prevented the composer
of so many sweet and lovely melodies from being
buried as pauper. Neither the Pennsylvania
Railway Company nor the Adams Express Com
pany would accept anything for conveying his

are so familiar that the popular mind does not
associate them with any particular composer.
They are all characteristic of genuine folk songs,
and as simple as they are they are destined to
survive A year after he had composed "Uncle
Ned" and while he clerking in his brother
Cummings Office in Cincinnati, he wrote "Oh,
Susanna" Not having as yet taken up music
professionally, he made present of these two
songs to friend, who cleared ten thousand dol
lars from them, and developed what was then a
small music publishing business into of the
largest houses in its line in the West
Several of Fosters lyrics reverberated his
personal feelings "Massa's In de Cold Ground"
although, of course a darby song, was written
under the sorrow and feeling of loneliness caused
by his fathers death; "Old Dog Tray" in memory
of beautiful setter he had owned; my Old
Kentucky Home" as a musical souvenir of the
picturesque homestead of his relative, Judge and
United States Senator John Rowan, of Bardstown
KY 1t is said that my Old Kentucky Home" was
written by Foster while he and his sister were
a visit to the Rowan home. One morning
while the slaves at work and the darby
children romping, the two young visitors were
seated on bench in front of the homestead. In
a tree overhead a hooking bird was warbling
From bush near by came the song of thrush.
posed the song then and there, and when enough
jotted down for his sister to obtain an idea
of the melody and of the first stanza, she took the
sheet from his hand and in sweet, mellow voice,
that chmed in with the surroundings, sang:
THE sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
IT'S summer, the darl<es are gay;
The corntop's ripe and the meadows in the
bloom,
While the birds make music all the day"
my Old Kentucky Home" is the twentieth
of Stephen Collins Fosters plantation Mel
odies." 1t was undoubtedly the intrinsic merit
and beauty of Fosters songs that lifted the
Christy MINISTRIES from the low position usually
occupied by such troupes to something like that
of a respectable concert room both in this coun-
try and in England. Foster caught his idea of
writing his so-called negro melodies from listen
ing to the absurdites then in vogue with the
burnt-cork gentry He walked home from one of
their concerts in Baltimore with the banjo strings
ringing in his ears, and before he slept he had
composed the ridiculous words and taking air
called "Camptown Races" with its chorus of
"Du da, du-da da." He passed from finer
tone to another until he reached the perfection of
simple pathos in "Old Folks at Home" and my
Old Kentucky Home" and the music is his own.

JONES IS DEFENDED
Graham and ella County
Traffic Association Deny
Gazette's Charges

Asserting that Corporation Com
missioner Jones did not work up
cases for the shippers, and other
wise defending Commissioner Jones
with reference to the charges made
in the Arizona Gazette, the Gila
County Traffic association has given
out the following statement:
Our attention has been called to
an article ia the Arizona Gazette
wherein it is stated, Commissioner
Jones was also personally and pri.
vately working up, similar case for
the Globe merchants instead Of hav-
ing it performed through the repair
alton bureau of the corporation CON-
mission The question is then asked
whether the Globe shippers would
have engaged Mr. Jones to handle
their case had they known that the
commission was doing such work.
There being no one else qualified
to reply to this query except the
Globe shippers, who are compliments
in the case pending, we assume that
fair play and justice requires that
they answer the question and that
it be given the same publicity as the
statement was given.
"Mr. Jones has neither privately
or personally worked up case for
the Globe shippers as inferred. The
Globe shippers were fully informed
by Mr.. Jones bimself that the com.
mission would handle their cases
and that he personally would give
them his best efforts in event the

the State commission can and should

vite their attention to the hay and
grain rates in Graham and Gila
counties. Whether the taxpayers
of the State approve of the State
financing the work of the State COM
mission prosecuting individuals
claims while local rates remain at
their present standard is an open
question. We have not asked it.
We see no impropriety in any
member of the State commission di-
recting, if he is able, the prosecu
tion of rate case wherein jurisdic-
ton rests with the federal commits
sion, particularly if his efforts are
directed toward getting relief from
extortionate rates. Improperly
might be charged if he should work
for the opposite result.
The State commission could have
given the Globe division some relief
in the matter of class rates. The
printed rate sheets sent out by the
commission to newspapers and many
shippers indicated that rates to
Globe would be reduced on merchan.

sion to do it. The Globe shippers
for reasons they deemed good neith-
er wanted nor asked the commission
to handle their work, but did and
insist that Mr.. Jones plan and su-
pervise their complaints before the
federal commission.
"A movement looking to the or.
ganization of what is now the Gra-
ham and Gila County Traffic Asso-
citation was started nearly year
ago and soon after the commission
established class rates which govern
our through rates. About the same
time the commission approved rates
for the Ray and Gila Valley Railroad
said to be higher than rates that the
company had petitioned for. We
are reliably informed that Mr.. Jones
opposed the rates adopted.
1T was the intention of the pro-
moters Of the traffic association to
secure outside aid in correcting in
terstate rates and for this purpose
a member went to San Francisco.
He was informed there that in Mr..
Jones the State had an able rate
man. The member came to Phoe-
nix and learning that Mr.. Jones was
in Los Angeles on his vacation, pro-
proceeded there and met Mr.. Jones
for the first time and stated their
case. Mr.. Jones said the commission
would take up the matter and that
he would give it his best attention.
Later, by invitation, Mr.. Jones
visited Globe and renewed his offer
on behalf of the commission, in the
presence of the directors and officers.
Mr.. Jones was informed that if he
declined to act the association would
look elewhere; that the association
would handle its affairs independent
of the commission.
This in brief is the history of
negotiations. We insist that we
have a right to go direct to the In.
terstate Commerce Commission in
seeking an adjustment of rates over
which the State commission has no
jurisdiction. There are many things
