PADEREWSKI ECHOES.

TAUGQG w OH GOuOLOs
Paderewski Is brilliant and wonder
full pianist. Experts say so and give
excellent reasons for the assertion.
Common persons, who can give no rea-
sons at all, feel that he is. The lad
which has organized around him, in-
GLIDING many honest lovers OF music
but embracing many more who really
care nothing for arr, nigh suffice TO

New York has never known anything
like the Paderewshi idolatry. When
he walked up the gang plank OF the
City OF Paris last Saturday morning he
found a crowd OF women waiting to BID
him goodbye. Some OF them had been
on the deck since 2 o'clock in the morn
lug. As the virtuoso appeared they
clapped their hands and shouted, Here
comes Paddy" They crowded into the
cabin after him and besought him Tor
his autograph, which be wrote Tor one
after another. When the gong sounded
for all TO go ashore who were not pas
sepgers some OF those women that had
no autographs snatched them from their
more fortunase sisters, and a dozen
seized the pianist's hand, kissed IL ana
went weeping down the gang PLANK

What is ii then that captures the
hearts OF the fair sex? The eminent
editors say that 1t Is his long haii and
the peculiar color thereof, his melan-
choly countenance and his silence that
wrought the havoc. They therefore
recommend TO the young men OF the
country who desire 10 enter the list
with Paderewski as a heart masher to
cultivate sadness and silence, let their
hair grow, and If il isn't of the right
shade TO buy little hair dye. But the
great editors are, OF course, "of, as
they usually are when they climb SEN
timeutal mystery. No analysis will dis
cover the secret Of the masher and no
imitation will give guarantee of success
to him who wasn't born that way

The Calumet and Enickerbocker club
men are now engaged in an effort TO
emulate the drawl aud dress Of Lord
Craven. Ii would be more profitable
for them TO cultivate the coitfure, the
abstraction and the soulful silence OF
Paderewski, who seemed to be forever
wallowing in a flood OF his own Inward
tearS.-Nelg York Press.
No one grudges Paderewski his
wealth. We have made many great
artists rich here in America, and we are
glad OF il, and proud OF it. We will
make Paderewski still richer, II he
wants US 10. Money is no object when
IL comes to getting thing that is above
comparison. But we have the right as
a nation TO resent the fact that this re-
markable Young man has come here and
sold himself out, body and soul, TO a
mere maker Of pianos. And II makes
US think less OF Paderewski, whom we
would fain have believed as noble as his
INTERPRETATIONS OF the nobleSt music led
US to hope he was. Omaha WOrld-Her-

Paderewski is suffering from nervous
prostration. Chicago and the piano war
in which he was concerned were too
much for him. A person whose nerves
are so highly strung should have moth
ing TO do with vulgar business-espe-
cially the vulgar business OF booming
piano manufacturer wares.-ROcheSter
Union ana Advertiser.
Paderewski beats the record in the
amount of money he carried off from
America. Rubinstein's material reward
was S44, 900, while the young Pole re-
ceived, January TO May, SlS0,000, and
but for the injury to one finger his re-
ceipts would have reached $1,000
Three years ago Paderewski was play
ing in London for $50 performance.
Last winter he received SIS for play
ing one hour at Smith College.-DeS
UOiRGS Leader.
TolstOi claimed that music was capa-
bic OF producing such injurious effects
that its free use should not be permit
ted, aud that 10 ought 10 be under gov
eminent supervision. The women of
New York, who, after going crazy over
Paderewski, have in turn made that
great artist crazy, have by their con-
duct done much to corroborate the ex-
trayagant assertion of the Russian nov

Paderewski has gone home. He told
a reporter that he was disguised with
the Chicago manufacturers, who played
him a dirty trick" He also remarked
that be had raked together $4,000
good American dollars from his pompa-
dour piauo playing panegyrics. The
New York women sent him away amid
flowers and plaudits. May this be the
last OF Paderewski. - Grand Rapids
Herald.
Paderewski said, as he boarded the
steamer for Europe on Saturday, that
mis- American tour was most pleasant
one. In view of the fact that the
gross receipts of his seventy concerts
were $50, 600, we are inclined to believe
he told the truth. Leader.
