10 TITE SUNDAY OREGOJflAX, POTtTXAJTO. JUNE 20, 1915. DDrEnxEy (JOSEPH ICgTJEETf ----- i " i t irr5y''''': uaiW I Iff- 'Si.-fill ' 5 ''-"t, . if ' 1 III r' - Jf III - t t ' lltJll '-;;v-'i 1 - NOT so very Ions ago I walked to a Portland garden famous for its beautiful flowers. It was a bleak, wintry day.'. Th ground was black and dreary-looklnff. The-one tree in that garden looked drooping and forlorn. Everything seemed lifeless, and dead. Why? Everything was asleep. It was Win ter. Snow was about to falL Later, it was Spring. To my aston ished vision I saw wha,t had been bleak, dark ground covered with tiny green shoots. The buds on the apple tree were green and about to burst. Life eeemed to have rpeived from some garden god new strength. It was a hint of resurrection, of re incarnation. Dead things had received new clothes. "A miracle had been per formed. Why had I doubted? Nature never wastes. Always creating anew, somewhere. Why not apply the same law to human beings? .These thoughts come into mind at "the opening of this new week, when city and state sorrow in common, in the passing of Mrs. Hose Bloch Bauer, Portland singer. She was gifted with a golden voice. Her life message was to lift that voice in song. What a voice of gladness it was, in triumphant opera or song. It was a vocal reservoir. She was never till. a,nd was a tireless worker and student. Her musical learning was pro found. I have no quarrel with the theolo gians and other churchly measures of life and death. I leave them to the rules they have made, in their profound learning and wisdom. Poets beckon. It Is too much to expect that all the music that was part of Hose Bloch Bauer's life is lost, is dead. Why not the miracle of the garden again? The outwardly dead live, in spirit. Maybe they are not so far away. Ten nyson sang In "In Memoriam": Xot here, but far away. The noise of life begins asain, Kternal process moving on. from state to state the spirit -walks. Another poet says: ' Tliey are rot (lead. They have but dropped their robe of daj To put their Phlnlnc; raiment on; Tr.-y have not wandered rcr away. They are not lost, nor gone. Yes, memory and works remain. Our friend, in spirit, is with us still. The body is only a beautiful, earthly thell. The grave is not all. J. M. . FAIR VISITOR. RETnS.

Har.old Hurlbut, the Portland tenor, is continuing his special studies in New Tork City with the famous Welsh tenor, Dan Beddoe. Emily Frances Bauer, the New York music critic said recently of this great tenor, in the New York Mail: "Dan Beddoe has no rival In voice or style." Beddoe is accounted by critics to be one of the greatest oratorio tenors of our generation and is also a remarkable concert tenor. Throughout the Summer vacation time he is engaged by Columbia University to, sing once every Sunday at the serv ice held for the benefit of those taking the Summer post-graduate courses. "I take hour lesspns from Campa nari and also of Beddoe. whose vocal methods are very similar," writes Mr. Hurlbut. "Mr. Beddoe is lavish with the use of his great voice at my les sons, and exhibits a remarkable depth of reverence for the oratorios and Biblical text and allusions. , "New York is filled with great artists and offers a hitherto unprecedented op portunity for broad study. I have been fortunate In meeting a number of prominent singers, both big and medi ocre. I find the greatest artists are the most simple and modest, and the medi ocre ones very apt to put on airs. One of the latter t,o whom I was intro duced had the grand air of a prince of the realm.' while Martinelli, the great new Italian tenor, who. critics proph esy, is to fill Caruso's place before many years, was like a genial American col lege man, although he talks but little English, and was very modest regard ing himself, saying: 'I have much to learn and need many more vocal les s.ons myself.' ' Signor Viviani told Martinelli and myself pf the time he and Melba came to- Portland and sang the 'Barber of Saville,' with Campanarl In the title role, and spoke of the beau ties of the Oregon country." Trustees of Beecher's famous church, Plymouth, of Bro.oklyn, N. Y-. have asked Mr. Hurlbut to be their tenor soloist for the Summer months. COMING MUSICAL EVENTS. Walter A.
