PATRICK SARsFIELD GILMoRE's IDEA OF
POPULAR MUSIC.

PATRICK SARSFGELD GILMORES IDEA OF
POPULAR MUSIC.
The music for the people is good music,
we'll rendered and of light rather than a
classical character. This is particularly so
at this season. IL is all nonsense to talk
about educating people to like any par
tlcular kind OF music. They don't want to
be educated, they want to be entertained
If l were To play classical music here at
Manhattan Beach two-thirds of the audience
would get up and walk out.
In New York city there are 10. ZOO people
who enjoy classical music The other 990,-
600 do not. The 10000 make up the audi
ences at the Metropolitan opera house when
operas are given. They subscribe for the
season and the same persons are in attend
ance night after night.
The great mass of the people, however,
prefer music of another kind. 1t must be
bright and lively, such as sonatas, watzes.
marches, songs and selections from the good
old composers-I mean Meyerbeer, Verdi,
Gounod, Donizetti and the writers of the
old school. Their music is always appre-
ciated, but the stuff that is written nov is
all froth and bubble. 1t is written to make
money. Every ono is writing operas. If a
man has glass OF brandy and q pen, he
sits down and composes an opera.
Music should be taught in the schools.
Competent teachers should be furnished
and children should be taught music the
same AS any other study An hour or even
half hour day should be devoted to the
the subject and the time arranged 50 that
one master could have classes in several
schools. In musical matters people must be
educated before they are twenty-five. If
this course is pursued, in ten years
America would be the greatest nation
OF musicians In the world. There is no
telling what voices and what players we
would develop. As it is now, our bands
play higher class If music than is played
by the bands of Europe. When went
abroad several years ago and gave them

work and learned higher order Of music
than had been their custom.
We are gradually improving in this
country. We have as good band musicians
as there are in the world. We have plenty
Of material to select from and we take only
the best. Some # my soloists have been
with the band for fifteen years, and the
man who plays the third clarionet is capable
of playing the first. The band is
masculine ard has great posi-
bilities. The orchestra is feminine
and is limited to finer and more delicate
work. The band is robust. IL has a wide
swing. II is strong and powerful. but 1t
can always be a gentleman. 1t interprets
the music for the people in way they can
understand and enjoy. 1t entertaius, and
that Is what music IS here for. | think all

Of music. They must do that if they love

their audiences, to entertain them.

NUTMEG STATE POLITICS.
A Decision Which Easy Elect Three
Republican congressman.

NEwHAvEN, Dec. 25.-Certain Democratic
papers with startling headlines announced
last night that decision Of Judge Hill prac-
tically settled the question Of who should be
the next Governor Of Connecticut, the Prohi-
bition ballots having been found illegal be-
cause the name of the Judge OF Probate ap-
peared upon them in writing. The real facts
in the case Sem to indicate that the Demo-
Gratis, notwithstanding all their bluster. are
thor"ushl frightened. The case considered
by Judge Hill was the following: A Repub-
lican candidate for Judge of Probate brought
his Democratic rival into court on writ of
mandamus, tnerebv forcing him to show why
he occupied the uffice of Judge of Prob ate.
ln the course OF the hearing, it appeared that
the name of the Republican candidate ap-
peared on several Prohibition ballots in writ
ing; these Prohibition ballots were declared
illegal by the Democratic moderator, who
threw them out ana declared the Democrat
elected.
Judge Hill decides that the ballot for
Judge OF Probate where the name OF the can
dldate appeared in writing cannot be counted
The Judge was not asked TO pronounce upon
the validity of the entire ballot, the names of
all candidates for State offices being upon IL
and neither the statute nor the Constitution
gives him authority to pass upon that ques-
tlon. But here Is where the important bear
Ing OF the decision comes in. and 1t Is all in
favor of the Republicans. Not Republican
ballot was cast in the State upon which ap-
peared the name Of the candidate for Judge
OF Probate, either in writing or printed. In
most OF the country towns, every Democratic
ticket bore the name Of the candidate for
Judge of Probate. in writing. In Middiesex.
FaIrfitld and New Haven counties, it is
known that not less than 5000 Democratic
ballots of this kind were cast and counted.

by the same firm, between the main store

blazes were quickly extinguished aud the

was discovered in the ship carpenters shop
Of George Bates, on Charles S. Bates's
wharf, at the head OF the harbOr. This was
exlinguished by the use OF buckets.
The building first fired was totally destroy
ed with Its contents. IL was the property OK
the heirs OF Oakes Lawrence and valued at
about $1,000. Tower BROS. & Co. lost from
5000 TO $500 In stock. Henry Brennock lost
boat valued at about 500, stored on the
third floor. This property was all uninsured.
At the first fire strong smell Of kerosene
oil was noticed, and at the second, the lum-
Der on the wharf In the vicinity was found
thoroughly soaked In kerosene. The odor
was plainly noticeable at the fire In the shed
and under the main store building. In this
building were located the offices OF the tnwn
clerk and town treasurer. Many valuable
documents and records were stored in the
safes therein, which, II destroyed could not
have been replaced. At the building last
fired. the fremen found sponge completely
saturated with oil, and also two gallon can.

10 relation to a sensational rumor that ap-
pe4red in the Concord Monitor concerning
the Boston & Maine Railway Company, to
the effect that 1t is becominga great political
machine, and proposes to take the Concord &
Montreal and Its lines. Col. John A. Whit
Of Concord, director Of the Concord &Mon-
treal Railroad. makes the following state
ment:
There is not a particle Of truth in the
rumor, IL there be one, that any attempt l.
being made to carry the corporation OF
which am representative into the pro-
posed consolidation scheme. The Boston &
Maine Is no making any attempt to secure
the Concord road and the latter Is making
no effort to secure the Boston IL Maize. The
directories Of these two corporations control
a majority Of the stock In each, and a.
neither will sell out there can be under ex'
isting conditions no consolidation. The per
sonaI relations between these two corpora.
tions are Of most amicable and friendly
character, and neither has any desire to en-
croach upon or iDjure in anyway the other.
Concerning any reported intention on the
part of the Boston & Maine to ask of the
coming legislature in New Hampshire any
further authority for consolidation, G. b.
Gafney. Of Rochester. Of that corporation,
says
The Boston Il Name already has all the
legislative authority 1t desires in this state t.
aid In carrying out its plans for cOnsOlida
tion, and hence 1t will not ask anything In
that line from the coming legislature in New
Hampshire.

BATTLING WITH CANCER.
Trying the Koch Lymph In Hospitals
In New York.

NEW YORK, December 25.-Now that the
treatment of incipient consumption with
the Koch lymph is well under way in New
York, with favorable auspices, the medical
profession is turning its attention to cancer,
that other terrible terrible disease of which
humanity hsa long been an almost helpless
victim, with the purpose of learning whether
1t, too, can be cured with the new remedy.
Although cancer has been subject OF sci
entifc investigation for long time, 1t was
only very recently that the alleged bactilli Of
cancer were scoyered-indeed, the fact Of
the existence OF the bactilli is not gener ally
conceded. The experiments which have been
begun at three hospitals with the lymph for
epithelioma, therefore, are of great import
ance taken In connection with similar expert
ments abroad. Eptheloma, or cancer of the
skin, is one of the most malignant of the can
Ger species. 1t was epitheliOma that killed
Gen. U. S. Grant. The disease is invariably
fatal and runs its course usually in ab nut two
years.
