Several copies of the Sheldon edition
of the Topeka Daily Capital were sub
scribed for in Columbus, and we have

siderable interest, and there is no doubt
but its financial success will have an
influence upon the body of publishers in
the United States. As for the enuncia

editor, there was none that we noticed.

of voice on Wednesday evening and was
the favorite with the audience, if favorite
there was. The difficult recitatives of
the cantata he gave as only the trained
and experienced singer can. In solo and
duet he was wholly admirable. At no
time in the evening, perhaps, was the
audience more deeply moved than in his
closing phrases of "For from the Sum
mer Blossom." Normal audiences will
long remember Mr. Martin with his gen
ial ways and splendid voice. That he
may visit us again is the wish of all."
