A GREAr MUSICAL iNsTiru1Ioy

1t is a fact which everybody interested
In the cause OF musical development in
the United States ought TO recognize
and appreciate, Chat we have in this
country a musical institution which is
no surpassed in the comprehensiveness
OF It's curriculum and the thoroughness
OF its tuition by the best schools of the
old world. This is the National Con-
s~ervatory of Music of America, located
in New York and established eight
years ago. The progress of this SPLEEN
did institution has been steady and
rapid and it has accomplished immeas-
urable good. 1t has supplied tuition
to 1000 pupils, many of whom are
pursuing a successful musical career. a
number of these having been taught
Tree OF charge. The conservatory was
not established as u money-making en-
terprise, but with the single purpose of
encouraging and promoting the devel-
opment of American musical talent. It's
founder, Mrs. Jeanette Nj. Thurber,
had boundless faith in the educational
possibilities of such an institution, and
in order TO give these the highest test
1t was necessary to offer the advantages
OF the conservatory free Of charge to all
persons of remarkable talent without
the means to pay for tuition. To those
who can pay the charges are most rea-
sonable-lower than in any other musi-
cal institution of equal merit anywhere.
Nobody is excluded from the conserva-
tory on account of race, creed or color,
who has the talent necessary to meet
the requirements.
The director Of this institution is DR..
Antonln Dvorak, eminent as a composer
and admittedly the greatest master of
Instrumentation III the world TODAY.
Under his direction are ffty-six in
structors, the professional repute of
most OF whom is international. These
constitute u corps of teachers of the
highest efficiency. The scholastic veal
OF the conservatory extends from Octo-
Der l to June l, and the annual entrance
examinations begin September 81 and
close October 3, though paying pupils
may enter at any period of the year.
The patrons of the National Conserva-
tory of Music include many distinguished
citizens, among whom are Grover
Cleveland, ChaunceyM NJ. Depew, William
B, Allison Roswell p. Flower, William
M. Evarts, Andrew Carnegie, William
whitney and Major General Schofeld.
OF the $50 contributing patrons of the
conservatory no. one has given less
thar 500 and many have gone into the
thousands. Such an Institution as this
ought to have much larger list of
patrons from among those who are
easily able to contribute 800 or more.
THE BEE would bespeak for this excel
lent school of music the earnest interest
and substantial support of everybody
who appreciates the Importance of
musical development il" tie United
States.

1T is stated that 10 per cent of the railway
mileage of the United States has within the
last few months passed into the hands of re
%ceiyers. Strange AS it might seem TO one un-
acquainted with the facts, Il receivership
has come to be regarded as one of the most
fortunate things that can happen to a strug-
CLING road. While confidence is not usually
considered a necessary quality in increasing
the earnings OF a road, the trust inspired by
the appointment of an experienced man to
its head often has much effect in setting the
corporation upon its feet. The business
qualities Of the receiver usually do the rest.
To say that 10 per cent of the roads are
under, receivers is not necessarily, there
fore, 10 intimate that rum stares them in
the face. On the contrary, it is a bra We
acknowledgment of their actual condition II,
and an assurance that all that seasoned ex-
perience, ability and uprighuness can do to

HOUSEWIVES AND SERVANTS.

Philanthropic women in some of the
New England towns where mills have
recently shut down have endeavored to
assist the Displaced women workers to
secure positions as domestic servants.
The experiment, however, has not been
an unqualified success. N~otwithstand-
ing the fact that places were at hand
waiting to be filed, places which de-
manded less work than is required of
factory operatives and which offered
much higher compensation, it was found
impossible to induce many of the idle
IN to accept, even temporarily, en-
ployment which was denied them in the
closed mills. In this we have but an
other illustration added to the hundreds
that have previously been noted, that
domestic service has acquired in one
way or another some quality which re-
pels the woman who has been accustomed
to a precarious existence as a factory
operative.
Opinions in recent discussion of the
servant question have differed widely on
the point whether the difficulties en-
countered are to be attributed to the en-
ployed or to the employer-whether it is
the servant or the housewife who is
being abused. The extended investiga-
lions undertaken by Miss Lucy b. Sal
mon OF Vassar college have led her to
point out in certain magazine articles
the various advantages and disadyan-
tages under which the occupation OF a

But with the filling up OF the west the

population becomes deuser land will
OF course increase in value, and it is
probable that good farm lands in the
United States win never be cheaper
than they are now. Indeed there is
perhaps no investment more certain to
yield a profit. 1t is just as obvious that
there is no danger of the American peo-
pie becoming land hungry for several

THE QUESTION or LAyD SUPPLY.

~ SCHof Wv UT LAW SCBfLI.
h expression of a fear that the
American people will at a not very re-
mote date find themselves landless is
not uncommon, and certain statisticians
make a plausible presentation of figures
to justify the apprehension. The OPEN
ing of the Cherokee Strip to settlement,
with the certainty that within q few
years the remaining reservations in the
Indian Territory will be similarly dis
posed of, has renewed the talk about a
prospective land famine not far off. 1t is
~undeniable that of the public domain
little that is desirable remains and it is
only a question of time when the farm
seeker who wants land al government
terms Will have to accept that which must
be irrigated or go without, but this does
not warrant the fear that the American
people are soon to become land hungry
IN this generation or the next.
When there is no longer any desirable
government land to be had there will
begin u change of conditions under
which the danger that some now appre-
bend will be put off for a very long
time.
1t has been remarked that the great
vice of the American farmer is to
spread out. He prefers to superfcially
cultivate many acres rather than to
carefully cultivate a few. During the
last twenty-five years the pop
ulation of the United States about
doubled while the cultivated area
increased mora than IA ,o,
cent. Immense tracts are owned
by individuals which cannot always re-
main the property of one person. Thus
when the time comes that no more arabic
land is to be had from the general gov
eminent these tracts owned by in
dividuals will come into the market and
will be cut up into small farms, and the
state school lands very generally will
be treated in the same a From
these resources the demands of an in
creasing agricultural population will be
supplied for perhaps another genera
ton. Before Ibis supply is exhausted
the work OF redeeming the semi-arid
lands by irrigation will nave Deer in
augurated on Aissgeneral scale. Few
people have m an intelligent idea
of the extent@ of this resource.
The semi-arid region is estimated
to contain ~2O0,00o,000 acres, capable of
yielding underea proper system of irri-
CATION ABUNDANT crops and supporting
millions of people. There is still an
other resource saPd a very important
one, namely, aabstter cultivation OF the
lands now in useo 1t is said that the
waste and lack'Do thrift hat charac-
terize American farmers amaze the
European agriculturist. France, with
an area about that of Texas, sustains a
population of about 80, 900 1000. Belgium,
with an a ca of a little over IL, 900
square miles, less han one-fourth the
area Cf Neb aska, sustains a population
of over 100000. Not one American
farmer in 10 900, observes a contempt

critics OF different soils or how
