Edward Ccx Davis. 90 years of age, close personal frieiiu of Abraham Lincoln, com poser of the fsmous "Lincoln Funeral March" and of other pupular musical selec tlons. veteran of the civil war, author and newspaper corresoondent. Is In Omaha L visiting at the home of his sister, Mrs John Evans. Twenty-fourth and Onto streets. Mr. Davis arrived the fore part of the week fend expects to stay several weeks. His home is In Des Moines and this Is the first time he has visited his sister In fourteen years. Bowed with the weight of his 90 years and bent with rheumatism, but retaining his faculties, the veteran composer still plays the piano and every month writes an article for the newspapers or a maga- side, most of his. articles dealing with musical matters. He Is today the oldest composer In the United Stales, but the pride of his heart Is the march played at tha funeral of the martyred president and played simultaneously on that day by bands throughout the nation. Thousands of copies have been printed and sold and the famous composition Is generally played In later years on Decoration day or at the funeral of a military offloer. I wrote the "Lincoln Funeral March' when General Lyon, whom I greatly ad mired, was killed while trying to bring order out of chaos In Missouri," said Mr. Davla. "This was In 1892 and while I waa living in Qulncy, 111. I sent the manuscript to my publishers, Balmer & Weber. In St. Louis, and asked them to look It over and tell me If It was worth while bringing it out Their prexaes were crowded at tne time and soon afterward I went Into the army and the march was not published. March la ricked Oat. "Then. In 1865. President Lincoln was shot. The then famous Silver band of Bt. Louis was going to Bprlngfleld to attend the funeral, and Mr. Balmer, my pm"8he was a member of (he band. Music of the old famous authors was sorted over, but my little inarch which I had written three years before and named after Oeheral Lyon waa picked out as the most appropriate and waa hurriedly published under the title of the 'Lincoln Funeral March. Not only did the Silver band play It at Bprlngfleld. but It was played throughout 'the nation on that day, as It has on other days since. "I was always a great admirer of Mr, Lincoln knew him well and tha fact that my march was selected as the one to be played at the funeraleof that great man has always been a source of much pleasure and comfort to me. Though there has been so much said about It In the papers and I have been heralded aa such an un usual man (and I am Just a common sort of a person like yourself) that I begin to feel as did Sherman about the 'Marching Through Georgia' song It becomes a bore sometimes." Though his fingers are cramped with rheumatism, the veteran composer offered to play his famous march and he did with wonderful pathos and expreaslon. He played It from memory In excellent time, but, as he finished, a tear trickled down his wrinkled cheek as he told the reporter that It waa wicked for him with his bent fingers to try to play the piano. In his home at Des Moines he- has an old organ which his publishing house gave him fifty years ago as partial recompense for t'.ie great composition and Mr. Davis says he can play much better on that old Instru ment, with which he Is familiar. The com poser was never paid for his march. Garfield Memorial D I rice. Years after he composed the "Lin coln Funeral March" Edward Cox Davis composed the "Garfield Memorial Dirge," which was played at the funeral of that other martyred president. Words have since been set to this dirge and It Is sometimes sung under other names than that originally given It by Us composer. Of popular songs Mr. Davis considers his "Only Waiting" as his best work. This plecb had a great run In Its day. Other compositions to which he points with pride are, "When Youth is Gone," "Egyptian Girl's Bong" and "Bong of Night." Mr. Davis whs born in Philadelphia No vember 25, 1S18, and will therefore be 90 years of age next November. Ha lived In Philadelphia during the early years of his life and there saw a number Qf great men. He says that In thoae days Philadelphia was the center of everything and that when anyone went on a trip he Invariably went to the Pennsylvania metropolis. He distinctly recall seeing General Jackson and the famous Indian chiefs. Black Hawk You'll have to hurry TWO SATURDAY SPECIALS Elegant Waists.

Ho sIbo witnessed the burning of the old Abolition hall In Philadelphia and later saw General Jackson launch a warship and set off for Frsnce to press the claims of this government. Heard the Famous Debates. In 1842 Mr. Davis came west and settled In Illinois and there heard the debates be tween Mr. Lincoln and Stephen A. Doug las. He served during the latter years of the war and In 1885 moved to Des Moines, la. There he lived In peace and quietude until a few years ago, he says. While he was composing marches and songs from time to time his address did not appear on them and Des Moines did not know until recently that the oldest living composer In the United States was one of Its 80,000 clti sens. Finally; lie saya, a reporter "smelled him out" and now he cannot go anywhere but he la pointed out ss the composer of one of the most famous nrfirches In the his tory of music. Mr. Davis went to the St. Louis World's fair In 1904 and while on the boat someone played the Lincoln march. The composer's granddaughter told him when he had fin ished that the author of the piece was on the boat and then an ovation was given Mr. Davis the equal of which he had never seen before, he says. Edward Cox Davis Is an Interesting man. His memory Is not the least shadowed by the weight of yeara and he is as bright and vivacious as a man half his age. He Is a modest man and frequently when his sister would Inject a remark he would shake a warning finger at her and say: . "Now, El.xa, don't say too much. Re member you are talking to a reporter and I don t want him to writs a great long atory about me." States District Attorney Goes of the Ne braska federal district for further action.
