venient reach of the mass of the people for

Two items about Won Moltke's death have
been going the rounds without contradic-
ton. One says: "He was listening to a
sonata of Beethoven's that was being played
to him when the fatal seizure took place,
and the grand old soldier fell on his couch
speechless, the strains of Beethoven being
the last sounds he heard" The other item
speaks of a new sign or pause appearing in q
late edition of q song by Dressler, entitled
"Letzles Lied" which, it says, twas one of
Moltkes favorite songs; he was so fond of it
that he frequently begged the Intendant
Count Hochberg, being a good baritone, to
sing it to him. It was while listening to its
performance that he was seized with apo
plexy. The pause indicates the precise mo-
ment when the old Field Marshal fell back
to die" Whichever story be true or even IL
both be as false as the usual "last words" of
great men, it is certain that Moltke was pas
sionately fond of music and possessed no
small talent himself in this art of peace, as
well as in the arts of war.

An Interesting Budget of News for Lovers Of the Bars

1t is a hopeful sign OF the times that
American institutions, products and people
are to-day more highly priced and moro
warmly encouraged than ever before. In
common with other interests, the art OF
music feels the impulse of this strong tide OF
sentiment Never before has the activity OF
our own composers, artists and teachers
met with such respectful attention or such
wide opportunities.
This is, as it should be, eminently calcu-
lated to develop that distinctively Amer
ican school of music which all hope to see
some day No one could do aught but re-
ioice at the general trend of matters musical
in this direction.
But it is quite possible to go too far even
in a good direction. Our own ad-
vantages and interests can be thor
oughly cared for, without decrying those
OF others. 1t is entirely unnecessary,
as well as false, to assume that America g
lis years of political autonomy have brought
her to q position where she can safely form J.
late a musical Declaration of Independence.
The best way to bring about her ul2nate
superiority in this, as in other lines, is to
lose no chance of learning all that she can
from both the achievements and the mis-
takes of the older nations over the sea.
In this age of fierce competition no one
can afford to dcspise the advantages gained
by him who has covered his chosen held
from every standpoint, domestic and
foreign who has learned the lessons of the
mast and who has brought himself abreast Of
the worlds present state of advancement In
that particular field. By pursuing this
policy in the past our people have pro-
grcssed thus far; i'ecially as regards matters
of art. We ought to be very well assured of
our being on dry ground before discarding
the stat that has helped US out of the
slough.
