advice to you, it would be this: Do not
encourage any enterprise looking to Can
ada's annexation by the United States.
You are one Of the most capable govern
ing people in the world, but | entreat
you, for your own sakes, to think twice
before undertaking management of the
territory which lies between the Great
lakes and the Rio Grande. No. let US go
our own gaits along parallel roads, you
helping us and we helping y0n. So long
IS each country maintains its %independ-
ence and both recognize their independ-
enca, those paths cannot fail to be high
ways of progress and prosperity. Ma
tIOnality continues to be a supreme fac

observing that the prospects OF a settle

measures are taken Immediately a fourth

than a million and a half unemployed,

the morale and efficiency OF British work

cations of industrial %sunre8t everywhere
are apparent, The dock strike, it says,
is only one manifestation Of the serious
trouble fermenting beneath the surface.
The di5ruptiVe force of unemployment

ON MAY 8
Centennial Anniversary OF
"Home, Sweet Home" to
Be FittingIy Observed.

Nearly 100 years ago there ap'
peared on the stage OF the Theater
Royal, Covent Gardens, London q
small company of players In an
opera written by young English
man, and calld ''Clari, or the Maid
of Milan In the score was BIT
Of rhythm, and few words which
have since become world famous as
the song of the wanderer.
The song is known as Home,
Sweet Home" The music was
written by Henry Rowley 8ishop,
well-known opera composer of
that day, while the words were
written by John Howard Payne, q
young American actor. The Tooth
anniversary of the first performance
of the opera containing the song
will be observed throughout this
country on May s.
Sold for 81 $50.
Carl Engel, director of the divi-
sion Of music OF the. Library Of
Congress, has placed on exhibition
at the library q series of cuts and
old prints dealing with the first
presentations of the opera, both in
London and in New York, with pic
lures of the singers who sang the
song originally.
OF particular interest was the
recent sale of the original score of
the opera as written, by Bishop &
Payne, at auction in New York.
Hiram w. Sibley. Rochester, n.
Y, millionaire, purchased the script
for $3.50, and then added it to the
Sibley music library OF. the East
man College Of Music, at Roches-
ter.
One thing which the exhibition at
the library is expected to do is to
dispel the idea of the suppression
of Payne's name in the London
prints of the opera. and of the
song, when, as matter OF fact,
according to Mr.. Engel, the name
was suppressed on the first OF the
American prints.
On some of the early prints OF the
song which appear in the exhibition
at the Library of Congress appears
the subcaption that the song is
founded on an early Sicilian air. It
was explained in a footnote that the
air is taken from Melodies of
Various Nations" an early conpila-
ton of Bishop. Publishers OF the
collection, according to Mr.. EnYeI,
wanted a Sicilian air for the coIiec-
ton, and, not knowing any, Bishop
Wrptesone, which later was contaAued
in his opera as Home, Sweet Home. :"
First Sung in 1929. .s.
Included in the exhibition are pfc.
lures of Maria Tree, who sang the
song in the first presentation Of the
opera, and Of Catherine Stephens.
later the Countess of Essex, who
sang the song at festivals. There is
also a photograph of the original
script, which is now in the Sibley
collection.
Home, Sweet Home was first
sung in London, May 8, 1898. In
November of the same year it was
sung in New York ''by the original
London Cast" and was an instan-
| taneous hit.

when q little repair work is ncces-
