CLIMBS THE MATTERHORN.
Miss Peck the Third Woman to Succeed
in the Great FeBt.


Annie s. Peck, of Boston, q famous
mountaineer, cables from Zermatt,
Switzerland, that she has climbed to
the peak of the Matterhorn, a feat for
which she has been in training for
years. 1t is said that only two other
women have done this-MiSS Brevort. or
New York, and Miss Carrel, daughter
of "a Swiss guide. The top Of the noun
tain is IA, 4,705 feet above sea level, and
Is most difficult of access.
Miss Peck Is a native of Providence,
and a graduate of the University OF
Michigan. She is widely known as an
archaeologist. For years she has been
an enthusiastic mountain climber. In
1885, while studying at Athens. she as
cended Hymettus and Pentilicus, she
rode 1000 feet up to the snow line of
Mount Shasta. and then climbed the
remaining $4,000 feet to the summit.
This ascent, It was said. was the first
made of that mountain by a woman.
Her subsequent ascent of the Clouds
Rest Peak, in the Yosemite Valley, also
attracted attention.
Miss Peck has frequently climbed the
Presidential Range, In the White Noun
tains. In company with a woman she
reached the top of Mount Washington.
She wrote recently to a friend dn Boston
that on July IA she climbed the Gross
Glockner. 12,46O feet high. On July "a
she reached the top Of Mount Cristello,
one Of the Dolsmites, 10,5O0 feet. Both
ascents are difficult.
The usual trip to the summit Of the
Matterhorn begins at Zermatt early in
the afternoon. The Schwarzsa chapel
is reached by nightfall, where the noun
taineer stops till morning. The next
day the hut" is reached. 1t is a
height OF II 500 feet and on the face of
the actual peak. The summit Is reached
on the third day. Miss Peck cabled
that her time from the hut" to the
summit was six hours.

There was another accident on Charles
steert about 7o'clock last evening. man
named Preston, from Lonsdale, was driv-
ing an express wagon near Randall square
when Pawtucket car struck the
wagon in the rear and Preston was
thrown to the ground and badly
shaken up. But wasn't he "mad" thoughT
lie called the motorman all the names he
could think of and the city authorities
came i'm for fair share OF blame. The
reason for this was because the place
where Preston tried to turn out was so
narrow that it was impossible TO escape
being struck by the car.

building. 1 Immediately whipped pencil
and music paper out of my pocket al
ways carry them-and jotted down the
melody, which 1 elaborated after i reached
home. Another scene, the prettiest,
think in "The Little Hussar," came over
me like flash very late one night when
was watching at the bedside of lady who
was very i'll.
Ordinarily, however, one requires perfect
quiet and freedom from care and worry
when about to compose. i am a child OF
nature. / believe in natural methods in
art, as in everything else, and unless the
mind Is free from trouble the music
evolved is apt TO be either somewhat SOM
Der or stilted and manifestly forced.
My plan In composing an operetta Is
first to saturate myself with the atmos-
phere of the libretto, trying to catch the
spirit of the author as nearly as maybe
Then / begin on a scene or lyric which
has happened to make the greatest impress
sion upon me. My aim is to write melody
which, while it is appropriate, shall be Of
such "a nature rs to haunt the ears of those
who have heard IL. Usually i only write
the air and piano accompaniment i'm lead
pencil while I ann in the humor. Thus I
go through the librctto until it is finished.
/ then arrange the music i'm order, make
new pen and ink score and then system
atically set to work to orchestrate the
whole.
Now, as to Instrumentation, think
there Is great deal of unnecessary twad-
die aboutthis branch Of composition in
connection with light music. 1t Is my
firm conviction that the persons who pay
to hear light opera want to hear the in
struments do just what they would natu-
rally expect, and 1t is upon this theory that
j always proceed. Wagner's instrumental
tion Is, of course, superb and incompara-
BILE, but it would be out of place in an OPP
eretta. In other words, 1 believe I'm the
fitness of things and act accordingly.
am confident that many work which
is fitted with beautiful melodies has met
with dire disaster for no other reason than
that the tunes proper written by natural
musician, have been intrusted for orches-
tration to hidebound technician. This
man may be first class musician, but be-
ing hampered with the limitations OF the
school of which he is n disciple is essen
italy unable to catch the full spirit of the
original composer.
In conclusion wish TO say that IL the
wealthy gentlemen and ladies Of New York
and other largo cities who sincerely desire
the advancement OF our national musical
education would spend some portion OF the
large sums OF money which are now inju-
diciously invested i'm this, to the produc-
ton each year Of the three or four most
meritorious works OF American composers
and librettists, more practical good would
result I'm n single year than can De accom-
plished under the present method i'm de-
cade. This idea may not be original with
me- In fact, am positive that 1t is not,
but IL Is none the less true on that account.
Give the conscientious beginners an oppor-
tunity To have their works heard by tho
public and the managers and 10 will not
be long before America will lead I'm music
as she already does In almost everything
else
