IJatuvia, May 10.?Madame Lillian >rdica, the celebrated operatic singdied here today, after an illness, suiting from exposure caused by ipwreck on Torris Strait, January St. Mme. Lillian Nordica was perhaps e most distinguished singer ever im this side the Atlantic. The year her birth, according to the best icounts, was 1850. She was a \7,1r* > _ i. UJ 1VVI v. II IJIIMI-I, cl Hit live Ul urinington, Me. Her childhood days ter a short schooling were spent in Boston dry goods store. As she was tidying up the rolls of ilico just after the shop closed one glit she began singing to herself. A istonier who happened to he delay1, heard her and marvelled. "What a voice, child! Have you rer had it trained?" "No, nia'm." ' "Will you let me give you lesins?" "Oh, that would be grand." And so Lillian started on her mucal career. By the way, her name as originally Lillian Norton and ie was a grand-daughter of "Camp leeting John Allen," a famous laine character in the old days. Her ither was Edwin Norton, a farmer. For the first two years of her voice ulture Lillian was too poor to afford piano. She did her practicing with he aid of a pitch pipe lent her by er friends and teacher. She even arried her pipe to the store with her, t is related, and practiced with it in he meal hour. Her rise was now rapid, however, lefore she was 16 she had sung as a oloist in oratorio for the Handel and layed Societies and had taken some essons under Profssor O'Neill of the sew England Conservatoire of Music n Boston. At the age of 18 she went as soloist villi Clilmore's band to Europe where ler lirst success came in the rrocadero, Paris. She now became filled with ambition to appear in ipera and forthwith sot out for the lueica of operatic students, Milan. In 1880 she made her operatic debut at a little theater in Brescia as Violetta in "LaTravlata." Later in the same year she went to St. Petersburg and to German cities. She became leading soprano of the Grand Opera, Paris, and made her debut in the Summer and of 1881 as Marbuerite in "Faust." While in Paris she met Federie Gower, an American newspaper man. They were married in 1883, but in 1885 Mrs. Gower set about procuring c. divorce. Her suit dragged and then came the news that Mr. Gower had been lost in a balloon trip over the English channel. At any rate balloon and Gower disappeared. The same year of Gower's mysterious taking off his widow appeared at the Academy of Music in New York city. She did not achieve such a brilliant success as she did later in concert and oratorio. Mme. Nordlca's most sensational inunit'ai ?ut.-rwis? pniuauiy was ner appearance In the summer of 1894 as Elsa in the Wagner festival at Blalreuth. She was loaded with praise by the German critics and became known as a leading interpreter of Wagnerian roles. She scored another and, perhaps, greater triumph the following year as Isolde in Wagner's "Trlstrr. ond Isolde Q" at the Metropolitan opera house. I In 1896 the singer married Zoltan Dieme, a Hungarian tenor of medium Ivocal ability but undoubted grace of person. Again Mme. Nordica's matrimonial venture proved unhappy. jShe obtained a decree of divorce in | New York In 1904, the papers being sealed. ller third marriage was in 1909 to : George W. Young, a wealthy New York banker. It proved felicitous. Mme. Nordiea had never allowed her domestic affairs to affect her artistic career and she now continued to sing in many countries.
