NEW YORK GARMENT STORE
fctie is as enthusiastic as ever about
opera, and is a regular subscriber at the
Metropolitan Opera for all matinees, and
very frequently slays down for dVening
performances, which brings her back to
her home in Norwalk at about half past
one o clock in the morning, quite a feat,
when one realizes that she is now seventy
eight years of age.
Every week during the opera season,
since I returned to Maine, she has writ
ten to me her own criticism of what she
hears. Letters that 1 value most highly.
She is most discriminating, but always
just, and I have never yet heard her
speak slightingly of singers v.ho were
singing her old parts, but would always
speak well of their efforts.
Miss Cary, as are many other great
singers, was very nervous immediately
before the beginning of an opera, and has
told that when the curtain went up she
often could not recall the slightest line
of what she had before her, but that as j
soon as she heard the first note from the
orchestra, it would all come back to her.
Madame Gersler, with whom she sang
several seasons, had the same trouble .
and if, before the opera, they had occa- 1
sion to speak to her, they always called
her by the name of the character she
was to take in the opera.
For the past three or four years she !
had motored from Scarborough Beach,
where for many years she has spent her !
summers, and has made me a call at my '
borne in Searsport. During one trip she
got stalled at Bucksport where she spent I
two very pleasant days at the quaint old !
Robinson House,*liking it so well that i
she plans a return for a longer season.
i nese lew rambling bits may give a I
glimmering of her traits of character as 1
a woman, and 1 will now try and give an i
outline of her life and career as an artist.
Annie Louise Cary, the youngest child
of Nelson Howard Cary, M. D., and
Maria Stockhridge Cary, was born in
Wayne, Maine, Oct. 22, 1842, and lived
there until the death of Mrs. Cary in
18^.0, when the family moved to Yar
mouth. At about this time she entered
boarding school at Gorham. She came
naturally by her superior voice, as botii
her father and mother were cultivated
vocalists, and the entire family were pas
sionately fond of music. In this small
town there was little opportunity for
progress. Her ambition was great, and
her longing for musical instruction was
keen.
In I860, she spent the winter in Boston, I
taking her first real vocal lessons, and also
singing in church. She made her home
with a married brother, but after a few
months, unfortunately had to return to
school in Gorham, as her brother went
into the army at the time of the Civil
War. Her mind was made up as to what i
she would do with her voice, so she re
turned again to Boston, where she secur
ed another church position.
She also sang in thechorus or the Han
del and Hayden Society, and became
thoroughly familiar with the oratorios in ,
which she was to sing the solo parts in
the years to come with such distinction.
At this time she did not think for a
moment of opeia, for the reason that the
New England prejudice was strong in re
gard to the stage, but looked forward to
qualifying herself for oratorio and con- |
cert only. She now realized that she
must broaden her ideas as to musical art, i
and with her innate courage and strong
faith in herself, decided to go to Euroed
for a term of years for serious study.
Being without the necessary means for
such an undertaking, but with a fixed de
termination as to going, she, in 1366,
through her own elforts. organized and
gave a concert in Music Hall.
Here began the career which is better
known even in her home State than the
years that precetded them.
Of her later private life Prof. Sweetser
says:
“When Miss Cary retired she married
Mr. Charles M. Raymond and for many
years lived at Hotel Berkley on Fifth
Avenue, New York, where they enjoyed
an ideal life among a large circle of
friends.
She of course sang no more in public,
except occasionally for some charily;
but, with three other ladies, formed a
quartette, calling themselve. the Berkley
Quartette, and for years sang together
for their mutual pleasure; also going about
to the hospitals in New York and singing
for the shut-ins, thus brightening the
hours for many.
Once in a while she would visit the
choir of Dr. Paxton’s church, and would
sing a solo unexpectedly, to the great de
light o the congregation.
She had experienced all of the bril
liancy of operatic life; had been feted as
few others have been; and had made
hosts of friends throughout the musical
world; but she chose to withdraw while
she stood at the very highest point in her
career. What a void it caused, and what j
beautiful memories we have of the bright
faced woman, who had the gift of draw
ing all listeners to herself, and making
them friends.
She remained firm in her determination
to sing only in private; but did yield once,
when she was urged very strongly to
sing at a concert tendered Mrs Flora
Barry, an old musical friend living in
Boston.
She took the Berkley Quartette on, and
was to sing only with them; but Music
Hall was filled with an audience of old
time friends and admirers, and would not
be satisfied with that arrangement, and
took the matter into its own hands; giv
ing her a personal ovation. One of the
Boston papers the next morning said:
“She will always be Annie Louise Cary
to our hearts, although to the later day
world as Mrs. Raymond; and it was their
own Annie Louise whom the vast throng
in Music Hall welcomed yesterday with
such acclaim, that the bronze Beethoven
looked down on a tumultuous sea of
handkerchiefs waving, on t’ e clapping of
hands, the call for Cary, Cary, empha
sized by canes and boots, till the hardest
hearted prima donna could not have re
sisted the appeal; and so, after contribu
tmg with her quartette all that a reason
able audience could have expected, she
came back, yielding to the tumult of an
p'ause, and stood before an adoring house
with all the old grand presence and en
chantment, and sang that touching ballad,
‘They say I might marry the Laird if I
would.’’ There was a touching signifi
cance in the refrain, “But I will marry
my ain love,” that the house felt with a
thrill; for, better than all the wide fame
of the great prima donna, one of the few
greatest the world has ever known, is the
beautiful fulfilment of the life of the
woman, in the peace and sweetness of her
married happiness.
Alter one of the most triumphant and
respondent careers of the lyric stage,
she nas indeed married her ain love, and
the wife, the friend, the woman, is ar
great, as was the singer, with the work
at her feet
lo Annie Louise Cary is given, not
only the matchless voice, the marvelous
power to charm, but the charm is enrich
ed by the dignity, and nobleness of char
acter, which the nation holds in honor,
ami which will ever ensure to Anuie
Louise Cary Raymond, the place of the
greatest lyric artiste, that America has
ever produced.
After having lived in New York for
years, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond moved to
Norwalk, Conn., Mr. Raymond’s old
home. He was an invalid for several
years, and their life was quiet in conse
quence; but their lovely home on North
A ve. filled with rare works of art, collect
ed during Mrs Raymond’s travel abroad,
was seldom without a few guests, enjoy
ing their hospitality.
It would be impossible to refer to the
traits of this large hearted woman, and
not note the many benefactions that she
has conferred upon hundreds of worthy
causes, and also upon individuals; always
of a most practical character, for her
New England bringing up has nude her a
sound business woman. bhe has invest
ed the many thousands of dollars accum
ulated during her operatic career, with
keen judgment; and the large income is
devoted to good works.
For many years after retiring to pri
vate life, she was interested deeply in a
diet kitchen for the sick poor of New
York; and was directress of the same.
She allowed nothing to interfere with her
personal attention to the many sad cases;
and it was no unusual thing for her to be
a member of a brilliant box party at the
opera of an evening, and early the next
morning, be at her post at the kitchen;
perhaps fitting shoes to a poor woman.
Her loyalty to her native State of Maine
lias never wavered, and every summer
season, when not abroad, has been spent
at Scarborough Beach at a conservative
hotel, where she meets the same circle of
friends. She never fails to appreciate
any attention that may be shown her;
and has always kept a warm spot in her
heart for the Swedish people who were
kind to her during the first years of her
singing in opera.”
In addition to Prof. Sweetser another
out-of-town artist was present, Miss Au
gusta, the young daughter of Mrs. Min
nie Parker Talbot of Camden, and a tal
ented violinist. Her two number Danses
Tziganes by Nachez and Orientale by
Cesai Cui were given a breathless atten
tion and were received with rounds of
applause, both evincing the instant favor
nf the selections combined with the easy
natural grace of the girl. For the third
number she gave what she termed her fa
vorite selection, a Rreisler composition.
Miss Talbot will always have a cordial
welcome in Belfast.
The numbers by our own favorites in
cluded a piano solo, By the Bjrookside,
John Orth, by Miss Edith M. Davidsou,
who responded with a charming encore;
synopsis of the opera of Samson and De
lilah, by Mrs. S. C. Pattee; a Victrola
record from the same opera; also the solo(
“My Heart at Thy Dear Voice,” by Mrs.
Wescott, who also at the insistent ap
plause, rendered “Janet’s Choice,” one
of Cary’s favorites. Mrs. Melvin O.
Dickey sang O! Rest in the Lord, from
Elijah, the last piece Prof. Sweetser had
ever heard sung by Cary. She also re
sponded with that old time favorite,
When You and I Were Young, Maggie.
Mrs. Wescott was most charming in
the genuine surprise she gave in present
ing a series of songs composed by Mrs.
John A. David, now of Brooklyn, N. Y.
whose husband was, a few years ago,
principal of the Belfast High school. The
songs are published by Sherman & Co.,
Boston. The selections were from The
Goodnight Garden and were dedicated to
her own children, Dons and Jack, as
Princess Dori3 and Little Jack Buttercup;
also to their Cousin Betty. The David
family have many friends here.
Prof. Sweetser’s accompaniments add
ed a special charm to the program. Co
coa and fancy cakes were served during
the sociai hour that followed the musi
cale. '■

respected and prosperous farmers of Wal
do County, died at his home in South

greater part of his life had been spent in
Belfast. For many years he was employ
ed in the local shoe factory and was con
sidered one of their best workmen and al
ways a trusty one. His sudden death is
a severe blow to his family and a source
of regret to many friends, who held him
in high esteem. Nov. 29, 1889, he mar
ried Miss Charlotte Abbie Bowen of this
city, who with the following children
survive: Edna Lottie and Jesse Earl at
home and Melvin Ray Franklin Wood,

life was spent in this city, where he was
employed as a gardener. One brother and
one sister, Elbridge A. Thomas and Mrs.
Hattie T. Carter, both of this city, sur

Rehearsing for “Katcha-Koo”
With an Excellent Cast.
With the arrival in town of the pro
fessional director, Miss M. M. Heberling,
who represents the John B. Rogers Com
pany, rehearsals will begin at once in the
afternoon for the young people. They
will then be classified into different
groups. The rehearsal schedule will also
be arranged so that no time will be lost
from the start. In the evening, the
principal characters, the ladies and gen
tlemen comprising the chorus and also
the young ladies who will portray some
of the dances, will meet the director that
parts may be given out and read over,
songs and music also practiced. The
principal characters and the young peo
ple are responding with muchenthusiasm
and all are waiting anxiously the initial
rehearsal.
The play is Oriental and American,
the first scene being laid in India at the
private temple of the Maharajah of Hun
ga, and the second act at the home of
Mrs. Chattie-Gaddin in New York.
In addition to the Oriental atmosphere
of the play, there is a splendid American
setting for the second act, which is in
tensely patriotic. The “Liberty Aflame”
episode, representing the Allied Nations,
in which a number of local young people i
will appear, is especially fine. Rather- i
iue Brown will be America, the com- !
manding figure in the episode.
ine Maharajah ot Hunga, one or the
leading characters, will betaken by Bart
lett Whiting. Katcha-Koo, an East In
dian Fakir, will be portrayed by Carroll 1
t>. Parker. Both are well known for
their ability in “taking parts.”
Dick and Harry, two young Ameri- j
cans, who are travelling in India, will be
taken by Hillard buzzell and Albert
Morey. They will play opposite Helen
Wescott and Olive Morse, who represent
Dolly and Prudence, two young Ameri
can girls, also in India on a visit with
their mother, Mrs. Chattie-Gaddin, who
will be portrayed by Elizabeth Kittredge.
The cast will contain more than a hun
dred people.
