bad taste, bad judgment, yea, even
ignorance, for any one to sing OF

Claus" at a Maifest celebration. 1t
| is out of season and latitude, and
hSs nothing in common with a
May festival. In this case the pro-
gram selected shows bad taste.
We find ourselves still further
away from the motive OF sanger
festivals when the orchestra
plays the overture to f. A.
Boieldieu's "LaDame Blanche"
taken by "Scribe" from Walter
SCOTS Monastery. l can find moth
ing which would place that opera
on the program; the text is rather
against its being placed on a
sRngerfest program. The music
on the program is good in it's
place, but the music for a sanger
fest should be selected for the &C.
casion. Stradella is likewise out
of place, having no connection
whatever with German history or
tradition.
The orchestra selected, with the
exception of three or four at the
most, needs several years practice
to do justice to the undertaking.
l believe Mr.. Marx, of San Anto-
Mo, will be very much surprised
when the Houston orchestra will
undertake to render the works
on the programme. He will
find knowledge lacking among
the instrumentalists, beginning
with the director of the
fest. There is something
which everyone should inscribe
on the rim of their hats: Wealth,
good looks and saloon popularity |
never go to make good musician.
1t requires among other things |
talent, patience and musical edu-
cation. That the Houston celebra-
tion will be proclaimed decided |
success by the press of that city |
is inevitable, but that it will be a
success in musical reality from
standpoint, is exceed
ingly doubtful.

in the matter, but when 1 note

MUSICAL COMMENT.
A German Sengerfest.
BY W. A. JAKEL.

BY W. A. JAKEL.
While reading over the progrom
of the much lamented Houston
celebration, notice a great amount
of extremely bad judgment used in
forming program suitable for the
occasion, as well as the selection of
musicians, who are capable of do
ing justice to the works placed in
front of them. AS a musician
deem it my duty to Criticise these
arrangements because they cannot
be too severely criticised.
c. f. Zelter, the founder of a II
our maennerchOrs, never had the
least idea that his principles
would be laid to one side and ig-
nored and prostituted, as the
Houston program plainly shows.
On the 10th of April, 1909, three
months after Carl Friedrich Eel
ter had been appointed "koenig-
licher professor" he initiated the
first "Liedertafe" in Berlin and
said: "Let us establish sim
liar organizations in every
part Of the world, sing German
songs and through them gain
friends" "My Old Kentucky
Home" written by Stephen C. Fos-
ter in 1858, is good song, for it
serves the purpose it was written
for; "DiXie," by Daniel Emmett is
on the very same order. These
songs were never intended by their
authors for any race of people
to sing, except the negro !;
that was the original inten-
ton. While / occasionally
like to hear negro melodies, and
songs played or sung, | would
never care to be one of several
hundred, who are compelled,
through bad management and
empty headwork on part of the
directors, to stand in Houston,
Texas, and there to sing in Ger
man, 81 am a negro.' 1t may be
said that it was the intention
to sing something popular aud
thereby create thunderous APP
plause. Should that have been
the intention, why not then Sc
lect one Of our national anthems,
at least one which is recognized as
such, though written by foreigners,
like Hail Columbia, Star Spangled
Banner or Red, White and Blue.
To the words Of Hail Columbia no
one can take exceptions, be he from
the north, south, east or west, and
these songs can be sung with pro.
priety by any citizen of the United
States, regardless of race or color
The opera LaGaZza Ladra by
Rossini, libretto by Gherar.
DIM, placed on the program under
the name of Thieving Magpie, has
nothing which would call for hav.
ing it on German singing society
program. The literary work of the
opera does not warrant it, though
the music is quite pretty and
simple. When we have DeBerloiz's
march from the Damnation Of
Faust, we are again led away from
Zelter's and also GGthe's principles
to be followed on an occasion Of
this kind, namely: a German
SRngerfest. Though the work has
been translated into German, that
does not warrant the singing of il

murdered her.
Miss Hamilton can give no descrip-
ton Of her assailants except that one
man was tall. had a full red face, and
wore a derby hat. The other man. she
says, was shorter and dressed IN dark
clothing.

HELPING TO SQUEEZE.
Retail Dealers Also Add to the
High Prices for Coal
You Can Rebuke Them and Save
Seventy five Cents a Ton.
Eventually Healthy Competition May
lie Secured.

Consumers of anthracite coal in this
city and Brooklyn who have responded
to the call of The World" for volun-
teers in It's warfare against monopoly
are steadily increasing In numbers.
Every day sees large additions to the
stock of orders for $3.50 coal which are
placed at the various offices OF The
World in this city and Brooklyn. They
are filled promptly. and every ton OF
coal thai Is delivered IL guaranteed to be
a full-weight ton Of 1000 pounds.
The saving of rs cents a ton, which
every consumer who purchases his coal
through 1.-The World" secures. is
n consideration too important to he
overlooked, and the people are beginning
to appreciate that fact.
They should also realize that In Civ
ing their aid to this movement they are
assisting in permanently breaking the
power of the combination which has so
long existed between the wholesale ana
retail dealers, and In eventually bring
ing the price of coal to the consumer
dow to a level more nearly represent
ing its cost of production under a healthy
system of competition.
Between them these two sets OF
dealers are now squeezing the large as
well as the small consumer with i'm
buiiits "iu nv out'tS botiiHN Nv Ca

rily fix is of the slightest avail. THE
World" has pointed out the only means
by which this unlawful conspiracy can
be attacked successfully and brought
to terms.

regulate the price of coal, IL an instruc-
tive example Of the good results which
may be accomplished by theoretically
attacking, these combinations and con-
spiracies in the courts.

jury that the law was that men had no
right to form II combination having

use. or which are to be regarded as
necessaries of life to the public.

ket, the retailers make a corresponding
advance in the retail rates. no matter
at what price they may have purchased
the supplies in their yards.
retailers In a much greater ratio THAI
the advance made by the wholesale
dealers. This, however. is only one of
the tricks Of the trade, and II Is safe to
a that the average consumer Is en-
tirely ignorant OF the situation in the
market. and can be forced to pay an ad-
vance OF 20 cents a ton for his supplies
as easily as a raise OF 10 cents.

WHISPERS WON'T GROW AGAIN
William VAIL Tells Why He
Should Have $4,000.
Says His Cousin Pulled His Beard
Out During a Quarrel.

Part I. of the Court of Common Pleas
was crowded at 1890 o'clock this morn
ing, when Judge Pryor and a jury OF
twelve men. assisted by the lawyers.
began the task Of deciding whether or
which were pulled out by his cousin.
Herman Wahl, were worth 5000.
William Wahl Is a brewer, and prior
to the fateful evening OF Aug. s, 1892,
his whiskers. which were of Pefferian
luxuriance, were his particular pride.
Herman Waht. the defendant. keeps
a grocery store at S65 First avenue.
On the evening when William lost his
whiskers. the cousins had attended a
bail at Terrace Garden. After the ball
was over they Wake home together.
When near Herman's store. above " hich
She cousins resided. Herman is al
legged to have upbraided William for not
dealing at his store.
''Ill deal where / please" William Is
said to have retorted.
AS to just what followed, the cousins
differ, but it seems to be certain that
william lost mis- whiskers.
Herman said that William assaulted
him. n that he acted In self,defense
when he pulled out a few handfuls of
his cousins whiskers.
William was arrested on a charge OF
assault On the complaint of Herman
and was discharge by Judge Cowing.
He then began the present suit.
The jury was selected late yesterday
Fou of them have whiskers,
and the other eight wear mustaches.
Judge Pryor wears no hirsute adorn-
ment OF any sort.
The plaintiff was the first witness
called. He does not speak English. and
his examination had to be through an
interpreter. He identified a photograph
nf himaalf tpkan hafpra the haQ rH-nnII-
Ing episode. and then said his cousin
tore out all the beard on the left side
Of his face and part from the right.
Witness was then shown a bunch Of
light brown hair. which. he said, his
wife a found OF his coat when he
reached home.
Have you ever been able to raise a
beard since like the one you had before
it was pulled out?" he was asked.
mo, sir. l have tried. but 1t wouldn't
grow" answered the witness sadly.
