The Famous Pianist and Musical Com
poser Passes Away at the Age of Seven
ty-Fiye.
BAYREUrH Aug. 2.-The Able Fran,
List, the pianist and musical composer,
died here at midnight Saturday. He was
born at Szegszard Hungary, October %,
1911. Able List has not been in good
health since his visit few months ago
to London and Paris, when the ovations
that were constantly extended to
him made extraordinary demands
upon his strength. AT ter his return to his
home in Weimar he was confined to his bed
for some days by an apparent collapse of
all his physical energies. Complete rest
partly restored his health, and he felt able
to journey to Bayreuth to attend the
Wagner performances. He was taken vio-
lently ill after his arrival. His condition,
however, was not regarded as alarming
until Saturday.
Franz Liszt was born October %, 1911.
His father was musician and gave him
his first instruction. When he was nine
years old a Hungarian nobleman, who
heard him perform, expressed his graft
fcatlon by sending him to Vienna and
later to Paris to study. In 1923 he played
in small cities, and returning to Paris in
1925 won instantaneous success. With the
exception OF few years Which he devoted to
religious studies his life was succession
of artistic triumphs, until his latter days,
which he spent among his friends in Wei
mar, Pesth and Rome. To musical litera-
ture he contributed life of Chopin, 1.-THE
Gypsies and Their Music" and articles for
different musical periodicals.
Besides large quantity of pianoforte
music, including concertos, Liszt produced
many works of grand symphonic design,
prominent among which are his series of
great orchestral pieces-the Symptom
Dichtungen," his Hungarian Rhapsodies,' -
his Symphonic zu Dante's 'Divina Com
media,'" his FaustSympbonie," his
"Graner' mass, and his two oratorios,
'Christus" and s'Die Legende Won der
Heiligen Elisabeth" These, however, are
but few of his innumerable productions.
which include works in almost all forms of
composition, sacred and secular psalms,
cantatas, hymns, lieder, and, as already
said, pianoforte concerSos, and multitude
of other pieces for that instrument of
which LisZt was so consummatea master.

Reforms in Chilli.

PANAMA, July 2O.-Important reforms
are being attempted in Chill. One project
provides that no Senator or Deputy shall
be interested in any public contracts; an
other is that neither the President nor any
Minister shall give an office to a near rela-
tive unless it is proved that he is qualified
in every respect tohold it. Another project
is being agitated which is of a very start
ling character, and is that the President
OF the Republic shall in future be elected By
a majority of the Congress instead of by
the public. The agitation of the matter is
due to the terrible bloodshed in the last
elections, when upward OF forty persons
were killed and large number wounded.
