Melba Coming
Great Cantatrice Will Only
MME. MELBA B concert tour, under
the direction of Manager Charles
A. Ellis, of Boston, which opens
in Portland, Me., November 15, prom
ises to be the most successful ever
made by this great artist in Amer
ica. Notwithstanding that it has
already been extended so as to include 50
concerts. Manager Ellis has ound this
number all too small to meet the en
gagements offered. The tour covers a
great territory, but as Mme. Melba will
sing only three times each week and
will have the advantage of a route ar
ranged to save her all possible fatigue,
eh will be able to appear at her best
wherever she sings.
"MY MERCEDES."
Famous Popular Song Written' by W.
Wesley Wells.
W. "Wesley Wells, the composer, who
ret the country many times to hum
ming and whistling a melody from his
pen. wrote his last song, "My Mer
cedes," expressly for his mother, that
she might live in comfort after his
death.. When making arrangements for
the publication of this song, it was
mentioned by the publishers that they
would pay a large sum for its complete
control: but Mr. Wells said he knew
he could live only a short time, and
nothing would be considered but a roy
alty on every copy printed, which
should be paid to his mother. A few
weeks afterward he was sent to his
mother's home in a critical condition,
where he died before the song was pub
lished. Mr. Wells composed the song, "I
Wait Alone for You," which is very
popular throughout the country at the
present time. On these two songs alone
Mrs. Wells drew over $400 in royal
tie's on copies sold during the month
of September.
Women's Voice Chorus.
Musical people are enthusiastic over the
chorus for women's voices which is being
organized by some of Portland's music
students. The chorus will be organized
for serious study of the best masters, with
the aim to Instruct and interest the sing
ers. Those who have not been notified by
card will be welcomed to the chorus by
sending their names to Mrs. Warren E.
Thomas, at the Hobart-Curtls, or Miss
Grace Kemp, 1005 East Morrison street,
and giving reference. Mrs. Edgar B.
Coursen will be the conductor. Being a
thorough musician with years of experi
ence in solo and chorus work, Mrs. Cour
sen will make the chorus a credit to Port
land. DOMAIN OF MUSIC.
There Is a well-known story that In Sep
tember, 1663. nearly all the letters of Chopin
to his relatives and friends were destroyed
by soldiers who sacked the palace of the
Count Zarr.oyskl, at Warsaw, In. -hlch the
composer's sister lived. Most of the biogra
phers of Chopin have accepted this story,
and now It turns out to be a hoax, which
the owners of these letters never took the
trouble to expose, probably to escape prema
ture attempts to secure and publish these
precious documents. At last, however, they
have been made accessible in print, both In
Polish and In French, KarJowicz volume
having- been translated Into the Parisian
Idiom by Laura Dlslere and published in
this language by "Welter. The letters were
written during the ten "years of Chopin's in
timacy with George Sand. There is also a
good deal about the trip to England and
Scotland. The material was so abundant
that the Polish editor found it necessary to
eliminate much that seemed of secondary
Interest. Some of the .letters tho relatives
of George Sand would '.not allow to be pub
lished in Prance. They are, however. In
cluded In the Polish volume and In the
French originals.

"MY MERCEDES" WAS
WRITTEN FOR MOTHER
W. Wesley Wells Penned as He Was Dying-,
to Afford a Competency.
For his mother's sake, to leave her a
competency, a dying son wrote the beau
tiful song. "My Mercedes." W. Wesley
Wells, gentleman, poet, musician no one
who has ever heard the catchy strains
from his "Venezuela Dance" dreamed an
inspiration from hearing his "Hermo'sa"
Chora
waltz, gaily galloped In spirit through the
bars of his "Fox Chase" march, or shed a
tear over his song, "I Wait Alone for
You," can forget the name. And yet the
Bong, "My Mercedes," which has sprung
Into such popular favor, came from his
heart at a time when he was deeply sunk
in sorrow and death was only a matter
of days.
In the fruitless hunt for health amid the
golden sands of California, when life still
held hope In the inspiration of a mother
and a sweetheart's love, this young man
tunities which Nature afforded their peo
ple, what a splendid future must lie be
fore Portland, with her great, broad, deep
waterway to the Pacific Ocean! These
ports have not had the Imperial treasury
to draw upon, but have had to rely upon
their own resources and the tolls which
the law allowed them to levy on shipping.
Yet Glasgow and Newcastle have made
navigable rivers out of streams which, by
comparison with the Columbia, were but
creeks. If Newcastle could overcome tho
bar at the mouth of tho Tyne by dredging
and building piers, it ought to be within
the power of the United States to remove
the Columbia River bar by building the
jetties and dredging cut the channel.
What dredging remains to be done to keep
the ship channel open Is a mere trifle
compared with what has been done on the
Clyde and the Tyne. Nature has given
Portland a much better start as a port
than it gave any of these British ports,
and it ought to be no tax on the imagina
tion to foresee her as great as either Liv
erpool or Glasgow, with their 750,000 peo
ple each. L. K. H.

which was signed today by Governor Jo-,

before parting were ' few;, and then. I
strange doom which strange fate brings i
to some of us, came an estrangement
and a sweetheart's broken engagement.
Depressed, despondent, desolate and
plunged deep in a fit of despair, he wrote
an Instrumental number and this song.
"My Mercedes," which his friends and
every one who has heard it declare to be
the best effort of all his successes. Chi
cago American, August 14, 1904.
It will be remembered. "I Walt Alone
for You" was the rage last season in all
the large cities throughout the country.
The royalties W. Wesley Wells drew on
this beautiful ballad was the means of
his support for more than six months
previous to his death.
Martin van Bergen, the noted baritone,
is singing "My Mercedes" In vaudeville
in the East. He says he Is making a
greater success with it than anything else

PRAISE AMERICAN TEACHERS.
Prominent Germans Are Much Im
pressed by Educational System.
NEW YORK. Oct. 22. Educational
methods here and in other parts of the
world, particularly in Germany, have
been discussed at a reception given by
the Society of Educational Research In
honor of Drs. von Seeberg, Duncker
and Kuypers. Dr. von Seeberg and.
Dr. Duncker are Privy Councillors of
the German government and members
of the German Ministry of Commerce,
while Dr. Kuypers Is Superintendent
of Schools at Dusseldorf. In the last
six weeks they have been investigat
ing public school methods in various
parts of America. They sailed . for
home today.
Dr. Duncker spoke in high praise of
the American system of education, as
he and his colleagues found it. He
had discovered, he said, that our in
structors teach pupils not to depend
too much on others, but to help them
selves. "I don't find In America anything
like 'klelnllcheif (pettiness), as we
call it in Germany," observed the doc
tor. "Smallness or pettiness seems to
be entirely absent from your nature."
Dr. Kuypers said he was greatly Im
pressed with the desire of American
teachers to perfect themselves in their
art, and especially as they would be in
their profession only for a short pe
riod. Ho said he could not understand
how so many attractive women teach
ers could be induced to stick to their
work, and thought It would be an ex
cellent thing if they could be persuad
ed to marry, and then to Interest their
husbands In educational work.
Dr. von Seeberg complimented the
American teachers for their enthusi
asm as a prime means of Americaniz
ing foreigners.
Dr. Pabst, an expert in Industrial
training in Germany, defined educa
tion on this side of the ocean as a sys
tem of "working through work." He
had found, he said, that even the most
Insignificant endeavor in this country
is respected and honored.
