Mr. W. r. . Cannon, 'Jr, died Sat
urday evening at 7 o'clock at Balti
more where he was a student at the
Universtity of Maryland, after an ill
ness of three days of peritonitis. .Mr.
Cannon was taken ill early Wednes
dsy morning with an acute attack of
appendicitia and rnabed to a hospital
where he- underwent an operation by
one of the beet surgeons of Baltimore,
Peritonitis developed and his condi
tion grew gradually worse until his
death Saturday evening. His parents
received a message early Thursday
morning advising them of hii serious
condition and his father went tamed
lately o Baltimore ; -y u s J
When , his father arrived all hope
of Ms recovery had been abandoned
by .'the physicians, and, although ' be
was conscious ' and recognised us
father, his condition Was critical
that, he died a few hours after Mr.
Cannon arrived. -:-x'.
"On account of tha popularity and
bright promise' of the young man the
first news tr illness brought count
less inquires from scores of people
tn the city and throughout the county
concerning his condition,"? evidencing
the esteem and inendsnip of scores
who anxiously awaited a report from
bis bedside.
Frank.. Cannon, Jr-" ws a quiet,
reserved young gentleman, a lover of
hu home and ins friends and went
about among his associates, always
mainfestingand kindly, yet "unpre
tentious manner, and was known as
what war termed a iuiet young man.
bnt beneath his outward reserve was
a strong and magnetic personality.
In Braoefnlly summing up the life
of ibis young man, whose untimely
death in the beaty :, and ?"handsome
strength of young manhood, it .may
be said he was a Christian young gen
tleman, a pride and joy to his parents
a' blessing to his brothers and nis
friends, and a prince among his kind.
,i At the time of his death he was
member of the Junior medical class
at the University of Maryland, having
completed (lie first two years of study
at the University of North Carolina.

Opera Should be Patronized
' .. and EiiMvraftd,
Grand Opera is the highest attain
ment of vocal and dramatic art. It
requires long years of endless study
on tbe part of tbe artist and rep
resents many thousands of dollars in
ks preparation. Who of us do not
admire Wagner, Botner, Boy, Vetdi,
Maecogri, and dozens of other famous
composers, both of ibe olden and mod
ern schools, who have given to the
musical world such beautiful verses
as Parsifal, H Trovatore, the Bo
hemian Girl and Cavalleria Rusticanaf
But whai of the words of art without
the singer to present an intelligent
rendition of the score t Singers who
have worked cheir way to, the front
rank by endlesg application and study
until tbejr brain fairly broil Then
again the grand opera singer must
have temperament, personality and a
keen conception of the artistic; in
other words, "many are called but
few are chosen."
We have at the opera house tonight
the English Grand Opera Company
assisted by their own ladies' orches
tra, presenting Mascagni'e master
piece, Cavalleria, Rusticano, and Offen
bach 's amusing operetta, The Rose of
Auvergne, and in conjunction with the
opera an orchestra recital of fifteen
minutes preceding the opera, which
certainly is a most alluring program.
The company has been- carefully
selected from the best grand opera
talent available and if all reports
from the towns and cities where the
organization has appeared , are true,
the musical treat of many years is in
store for the music lovers of Concord
and every available seat should be
sold. The cast comprises:
Mr. William Nickon, late leading
tenor of the National Theatre, Berlin,
Germany, Mr. C. Pol Plancon, bari
tone of the Boston Opera Co., Miss
Host ha Hymon, prima donna two sea
sons at Hammerstem, grand opera.
New York; Mis3 Hellen Dickson, two
seasons prima donna, creatore s
Band, and Miss Ardix Ellworth, con.
tralto.
The ladies' orchestra is a distinctive
feature. t - -
