There is not a more heavily or more

conceive the depths OF misery that are
connoted there by that hated word
taxes Thousands of little households
struggling bravely for mere existence
in the poorer districts, especially in
Sicily and Calabri are annually swept
away into space for the non-payment
of such paltry sums as half a crown, a
shilling, ninepence half-penny, These
are the miserable outcasts who turn
organ-grinders in London, farm labor
ers and galley slaves in Brazil and tar
gets for French revolvers in Aigues-
Mortes.
The unsettled state of Sicily, where
life and property are no longer secure,
is at once an eloquent testimony to the
intolera BILE sufferings of the people,
and an emphatic condemnation of the
righteousness of the government. Nor
is it in Sicily only that the sinister eff

One aim of the institution will be the

will afford facilities for the develop

tiers are, and, Of course, that means
New York. A nucleus will in this way
be formed until the musical patron.
OF the country have become convinced
OF the feasibility OF the enterprise. Mu-
sic is a term covering such a multitude
of studies that the students must neces-
sarily be limited to special branches
and to a study of the theory Of the art.
Many persons have supposed that
Europe was ahead Of our own country
solely on account Of the prominence
of the masters there, and to some ex-
tent this is true, but once the college
is built and endowed this condition of
things will pass away. Men like An
drew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt
and others are known to be most favor
ably disposed towards the scheme, and
there Is reason to believe that the
funds VIII be ample in few years for
the maintenance of extended courses
of instruction The chief benefit of
the college will be reaped by needy
or, at least, poor young men and
women, who, possessing a high order
of ability, have been compelled TO neg
lect their talents owing to lack of
funds with which to visit Europe or to
pay for private instruction In their
own country.
There will be, of course. lectures and
rehearsals, but the aim will be mainly
to popularize the theory as well as the
practice of music. The national school
will be on colossal scale. Vocal and
instrumental music and studies calcu-
lated to develop the highest proficiency
in each, are to be diligently cultivated.
The lecturers and performers will In
clude men of worldwide emintnce in
their respective branches. AS already
stated. Theodore Thomas is interested
while Walter Damrosch will be always
in sympathy with the college and will
work hard for it's success. Moreover,
musicians of fame who come here from
abroad are to give the students the
benefit of their abilities and some OF
the instructors viii probably come
from Europe.
The chief cause of the failure of at
tempts of this kind heretofore has
been lack of popular interest, but
that condition no longer prevails. Al
ready the incorporetors have been
promised the cooperation of musical
societies all over the country. The
need for an institution of the kind has
been so pressing that its establishment
promises to mark an era in music in
America.
The construction of the building in
Washington will not be unduly expe-
dited. and there are indications that

The Wonderful Escape Of the Rider from
Certain Death.
The greatest leap in the dark ever
made by horse and rider, from which
the latter survived to tell the tale, was
that made by young officer, after
ward known as Ma. -Gen- w. Yorke
Moore. 1t took place of dark night
in 1s43, at the Island of st. Dominica,
in the West Indies Moore, who COM
manded the troops on the island, as
colonel lost his way in the dark. He
came to several little objects imper-
ceptible to him, which he forced his
thing, which his horse greatly dread
ed to face, was in his onward route.
The soldier, after several vain at
tempts to persuade his horse to
proceed las the colonel thought;
straight toward home, ultimately
put the animal at almost full
speed, violently squirting its
sides the while. The horse vio-
lently jumped into the air, clearing
what proved to be a little. low ledge,
to drop two hundred and thirty-seven
feet perpendicular height upon the
rock by the seaside. AS if to support
the theory that when a man sits prop
erly in his saddle. it is the horse, and
not he, who suffers by a tumble-for
Moore says: During the fall / stuck
to my horse"-every bone in the steed's
body was broken, while his master es
capped alive with severe cuts about the
body and head, dislocated ankle and
a back benumbed by the conclusion of
the fall
On recovery from the shock, Moore
sent an artist to make drawing of the
spot and engineer to survey the place.
The drop was considerably more
than half the height of st. Peters and
double the height of the duke of York's
column at the bottom of Regent street
Such an extraordinary tale is almost
incredible, but it is given by general

Americas Famed Musicians Have

Learning.
fCOPYRsGHT, lss4-1


Americas music lovers are on the
ferge of realizing what has been their
Dream for years. Steps have at last
been taken, with the cooperation OF
I'll the country's famed musicians, for
the incorporation and endowment OF
hn American college of music. The
sca1e on which the undertaking has
been paauned is not only national in
Its scope but II one calculated to place
the ;nstiEation in the front rank of the
world q. conservatorias and universities
devoted to the numbered art. When
The American college of music has as
su1ned shape it will possess not merely
b corps Of instructors unequaled in
feputaaicn, but an edihce that will
compare with the architectural master
pieoes of the old world now dedicated
to music Hundreds of Thousands OF
doIiars will be spent, for the design is
to found a college in fact as we'll as in
name, which viii confer degrees and
have resident students giving years OF
hard work for a diploma.
1t is some weeks now since a petition
began to be circulated among emf
nent American musicians, addresses
TO congress and praying for the legal
incorporation of the college This pc
tition received the signature of every
man eminent in musical art in this
country. Walter Dsmrosch gave the
project his personal attention, and 9th
ers interested are Theodore Thomas
Dudley Buck, Rafael Joseffy, and a
score nearly as eminent.
i. was then arranged that the project
should receive its inception in the shape
OF body polite and corporate" with
the title the American College Of Mu-
sicians. The incorporators selected
are men of wide prominence in matters
musical - Asa Bird Gardier, Of New
York; William Benning Webb, of the
District of Columbia; James Simons. of
South Carolina; William Dering Ear-
den, of Georgia: Samuel s. Sanford, Of
Connecticut; Albert Ross Parsons, of
New York, and several others. Repre-
sentative Jacob A. GeissenExi7,er, of
New Jersey, one of the few membersof
congress interested in musical affairs,
undertook to tale care of the bill in
the house and it will be passed, it is
believed, before the end of the pres
ent session. OF course, its passage
will be only a preliminary, for the
work of organization has all still to be
perfected.
. The institution viii have full corps
of officers, professors, examiners and
Instructors in every branch of music.
The terms viii be divided into courses
