EL1BORITE POLITENESS OF THE
HlNDOO.

The elaborate politeness of an edu-
Gated Hindoo is something remark
able. Here, for instance, is the way a
young llindoo clerk recently wrote to
his employer: Most Exalted Sir-lt
is with the mosthabitually devout eN-
pressons of my sensitive respect that
| approach the clemency of your mas
terful position with the seIf-disprais-
ing utterance of my esteem, and the
also forgotten-by-myself assurance
that III my own mind shall be freed

objectionable donations ii / assert

light OF subscribing myself your ex-
allied reverence's serviter, Janjanbol

An American clerk would do very

absent half II day tomorrow to attend
the funeral of my grandmother. "
Then he would rush off to the base
ball grounds.

How swift the speeding years fleet by,

Her dear ones worth.

In passing years.

Full soon she sits alone and waits
The glad return.
Alas they're passed beyond the gates
of childhood's home.
They'll run no more with smiles and tears
To mothers place;
But in the hustling, crowded years
They'll see her face.

The silVcrcd hair,

some thoughts Of writing a new work. but
since then the opera mania has struck this
coast, and seeing that every body IS writing
operas, have now abandoned the idea of
enriching the musical literature of Cali
fornia." And he made this statement with
smile that savored somewhat of sarcasm.
Talking of music" continued Mr.. Hin
richs thOughtfully. ''it is strange how
some kinds of it will grow upon an audi
ence. l remember, tor instance, when
'Cavalleria Rusticana' first came out that
/ received a copy of the now famous inter-
meZzo from Germany. We PLAYED it atthe
Baldwin and it passed by utterly un-
noticed. The same thing happened with
regard to some selections from Robin
Hood
"I have sometimes wondered why that
was, because if we played either the inter-
mezZo or the Robin Hood music now
there would certainly be two or three
encores. The only explanation is that
melodies grow upon an audience. Accord
ing TO my idea you can get an audience
used to good or TO bad music, and | be-
lieve il is conductors duty to try always
to have the good upon his programme. :
''No matter how refined and cultured q
persons taste may be il he hears bad
music constantly he will learn at last to
is not so bad.
Talking about audiences, do you know
that a Saturday afternoon audience is
always the most agreeable to play for ?
When we give a string quartet that can
only be heard when the most profound
silence reigns in the house the audience of
ladies assembled on Saturday afternoon
always listens TO it with the most crafty
ing attention"
When asked his opinion respecting the
burning question of importing musicians
from the East for the Midwinter Fair. Mr..
Hinrichs hestated to express any views
upon Sle subject, but finally he remarked: :
Il really think the matter has been
brought up for discussion little ahead of
time. But still, as it is stated upon very
reliable authority that Mr.. Mitchell of the
executive committee cid remark upon i'm
porting Eastern bands, of course you can
not blame the local musicians for feeling
most indignant about it.
why did they not import Eastern musi-
clans TO play at the mass-meeting free or
charge at the Metropolitan Temple? / am
most certain that every Eastern band
master would have come Immediately to
San Francisco TO accommodate US and we
might have had chance t" hear some
good music. 1t seems that our local musi-
clans are only good enough to play with
out remuneration. When few dollars are
10 be made there is no use for them.
1.-The musicians of San Francisco have on
every occasion proved themselves to be per-
feetly competent to I'LL any engagement.
and / hope they will stand together and
not permit themselves to be trifled with.
81 am sure the California people have the
same feeling in regard to this matter that
| have personally. and l hope that ma
jOrity of the executive committee will hu-
NOR the public feeling in favor of San
Francisco labor.
II have lived for twelveyears among our
musicians and know exactly what their
musical ability is.
II feel sure that they will do honor to
themselves and TO their American col
leagues all over tho States when they are
employed at the Midwin e. Fair"
