He was broken-hearted aud cried like a child when he became aware death was at hand" This was the information brought by Risina Galli. premiere dancer of the Metropolitan Opera Company, who has just arrived from Italy. Mime i Galli joined Mrs Caruso immediately after the death of the tenor, and re. mained with her and the baby, Gloria, until after the funeral Mime Galli coNtinued:
 "Caruso wanted so much to get well. On his deathbed he called to his wife: Don't you think l will recover?' He was quiet then and did not know he was going to die. A little later he felt terrible pains in his chest. He must have suffered awful agony.
 Again he called to Mrs. CarusO in an agonized voice: I am going to die She tried to comfort him say ing the pain would soon pass and that he would be better But it was not SO His eyes closed, his moaning ceased He was dead.
 The world has lost q voice that will never be replaced and a man of splendid character
 Mrs. Caruso told me she will re- turn to America as soon as her affairs have been adjusted.
 Mrs. Caruso finds 1t hard to con vince herself that Enrico is dead She told me she expects him to walk in and greet her any moment. And every time Enrico's brother Giovanni comes before her view her heart almost stops beating She said to me, When | see Giovanni think 1t is my Enrico. It

is agony for me. I cannot realize he is gone
 "Only a few days before his death he was singing. He sang Marta all the way through and asked every body How is my voice?' Everybody thought it was wonderful better than ever. Caruso was confident of that That was his mistake. He did not pay attention to his lungs, which had be come affected. He had not the power there
 The voice retained the old richness of tone, but he did not breathe az well and the volume was lacking He had lost more than he realized or cared to admit, even to himself doubt If he would ever have been the same great Caruso had he lived.
 When the abscess began bothering him he made light of it, and Mrs. Ca russo did not send for a physician. She was stranger in Naples and did not know. Someone else should have stepped in and taken the great tenor in hand. Doctors were finally called but it was too late.
 The Naples physicians would not risk operating on such a man under such circumstances. The abscess had made too much progress. They recon mended sending to Rome for Cele brated surgeons.
 "Moreover. Caruso was opposed to au operation. Indeed, he did not want the doctors around He said 10 them: Tell me what have. what the trouble is. They never did so, but kept him in ignorance of the real condition of his lungs
