as that clear?
81 will give an instance of my meaning.
Some time ago l was in remote a country
village in Norway, SO far from the world
that the people had never heard any music.
They came to the concert that gave in a
little room, no larger than this, and as
took up my violin / thought, What shall
l play them? They know no music and
may take more kindly to something popu-
lar but my conscience said, Give them
the best you have so played Bach.
well, those people listened seriously,
and / could feel that they appreciated and
understood. Do you see my meaning
That audience had heard absolutely moth
ing, gave them the best there was-Bach.
If had played them something popular
with the mental consciousness this is as
much as they can understand 1 should
have made them one degree lower than
they were before-they would have had a
lesson in bad taste, which is worse than
having no taste at all. / tell you the pub
lie is child and you must educate its
tastes, just as you do a child's.'
DO you consider that American audi
ences have advanced beyond the infantine
stage2" l asked.
Ysaye seemed rather panied and shocked
at the question, as if it were reflection on
the enthusiastic receptions he has met with
here. American audiences are quite on a
par with European audiences" he
answered. "ln your tastes you are Ger
man, mixed with an originality of your
own, which makes you more vivacious,
more spirited in your tastes than the Ger
mans. But take care-yes. prenez garde.
| tell the Americans that if for twenty
years more they always eat German music,
as they are doing at present, they will lose
their own originality. 1t will be stamped
out-washed away in the wave of German
tastes.

"You pardon me, yes, if smoker" he
said in French, filling a little blackened
briar pipe with the precious weed. 81 do
not indulge often, but never since I left
New York have found anything like
this" and he put match to his pipe and
inhaled long breath, which caused the
little black pipe to glow like furnace and
showed the enormous strength of Ysaye's
lungs.
The great man-great both artistically
and physically does not resemble the
simpering pictures of him which have
lately adorned the town.
The real \ saye is more massive, coarser
and runs more to flesh, but his strong face
and powerful form denote a dominating
personality, which is lacking in the pic
lures. A powerful, iovial man he looks,
able to enjoy life's pleasures to the full,
and yet philosopher enough to moralize
upon all he sees. He was dressed care
lessly yesterday in summer suit and his
long black name, which was straight and
clammy from the heat, kept falling in
struggling locks over his low, overhanging
forehead.
When this happened he smoothed the
rebellious hair back quickly with his strong
supple right hand-the left one always held
the precious pipe.
II have found a pupil of mine here
Bechman. 1t was as much pleasure to
meet him as to find the tobacco" said
Ysaye. sHe took lessons from me in
Brussels, where my home is, and my wife
and four little children now are"
In answer to the question whether any
of the four showed signs of becoming in
FAINT phenomena, Ysaye answered with the
greatest satisfaction that they had SO far
exhibited no tendency that way. ''They
break violins, but they do not try to play
upon them" he said with iovial laugh,
''and am glad of it.

alism in your musicP" continued the
Belgian artist, even forgetting his pipe In
his excitement over the problem. "You
have painters-many that could name
and great literary men, but where Is your
music? l do not see why 1T should be
more difficult to become good musician
than to be good painter
''In my opinion, the reason is that your

they help your National art? They cannot,
for all they come for is money.
Again, you have no National music
bureau; you have no great masters. Little
masters you have without end, but when
your students grow advanced they are sent
to Berlin to study with Joachim, or to Brus-
sells to Ysaye. Dvorak is great master,
but he has not made his note heard yet,
and he is teaching in conservatory that

to vicissitudes, capricious changes. that

do you think that the musical salvation
of America is in a National conservatory
supported by the Nation ?' / asked.
'Yesl yes!" cried Ysaye enthusiast
cally. "The Americans have struck the
note of nationalism in everything but
music, and strange to say they seem indif-
ferent about cultivating it there. If you
had a National conservatory-a conserva-
tory of the Nation, with as many as five
professors, each in his way as great as
Dvorak, 1 tell you that in five years you
would have made steps toward having a
National music that would astonish even
go-ahead Americans"

THE STORY OF AN OPERA,
How a Girl Refused Title and
Hundred Million
Francs.
BARON ALBERTO FRANCHETTI
The italian Composer Who Owed
His Inspiration to an
American.

At the concert on the last night of the
rose show there was tall fair girl among
the vocalists who was enthusiastically ap-
plauded on account of her fine voice. A
few people observed that hidden away in
the lace of her corsage was pin In the
form of gold scroll, inscribed with some
bars OF music, but only few of her init
mate friends know that there is romance
connected with Miss Sistermans' orna-
ment, involving title, hundred million
francs and the inspirati ton of great opera.
Every one who takes an interest in
music has probably heard of the Italian

CLOSED TO CALIFORNIA
The Girard and other Eastern Insur-
ance Companies Refuse to Do Bush
ness at Cut Rates.

The Girard Fire Insurance Company of
Philadelphia has withdrawn from Cali
fornia business because of the rate war
that has been raging more or less for over
year. This, it is said by the Pacific
Coast manager, Mr.. Wilson, is not due to
any weakening on the part of the COM
pany, which is particularly strong, with
gigantic reserve fund and Philadelphia
millionaires as stockholders. The COM
pany is very conservative and simply re-
fuses to cut rates in order to secure BUSH
ness.
The American Insurance Company of
New York has also closed its books against
Pacific Coast business in the San Fran
cisco agency. The American has rein
sured its business with the Phoenix of
Brooklyn, and the agents of the two COM
panies named have been SO informed by
their principals.
The Glen Falls and the Traders In
surance Companies do not care to longer
compete for business at cut rates but re-
main inactive without any local repre-
sentatives. Voss, Conrad & Co. were the
Pacific Coast agents of the two COM
panies, but they resigned some time ago
and no successors have been appointed.

away in the distance as the triumphant
chant of the celestial beings is heard.
This gives some idea of the plot OF the
lyric drama which Franchetti composed
under the spell of his love for Miss Sister
pleted he gave grand musicale at which
she sang Nefta's role. Most of the leading
musicians in Dresden were present and the
Baron was hailed as a worthy disciple of
Richard Wagner, and warmly congrat-
ulated on the young artist who in
terpreted his Meta so sympatheti-
cally. AS he plunged feelingly into his
music Franchetti became more impatient
to persuade his Meta to consent to Sc
us when there is. no remedy for it," he
said, but the American girl always refused
to enter family that would only receive
her on sufferance.
In vain Franchetti urged that he was
Jew, she would have to change her faith
before there could be any hope of his
parent asking her in marriage, according
to the Italian custom. ''My father would
object to your having no fortune, and my
mother to your religion, but if you would
only marry me first and then"
Don't talk of it. will never stink into
your family in that contemplate way"
said Meta proudly.

81 don't ask you to change your religion,
and 1 shall not change mine," and the
American girl was so determined that
Franchetti, in despair, gathered up his
completed opera and went to Venice to see
what he could do toward moving his
parents.
When he got home he found that ar
rangements were being made between his
parents and those of a wealthy girl of his
own faith to contract an alliance
that is how great moneyed marriages
are expressed-with 100000 francs.
Parents over there are in the
habit of disposing of their children
without saying "by your leave" The
young man made final appeal to Meta,
but she wrote nice little letter congratu-
lating him on his approaching marriage,
and saying that without his parents con-
sent all was at an end between them.
Shortly afterward "Asrael' was pro-
duced at Reggie and made such success

that the King of Italy invested the young
composer with the order of the Italian
Crown. The great publisher Ricardi
bought "Asrael." and it was brought out
in Bologna, Milan, Madrid, Berlin, New
with success.
Franchetti married the heiress, but the
strangest thing is that his genius
seems to have perished when he
lost sight of his Meta. His christopher
Columbus has been failure; his 'Alpine
Flower" produced not long ago at the
Scala, has scarcely been heard of since,
"Asrael."

A BIBLIoMANIAc,s GARDEN.

My garden aboundeth in pleasant hooks
And fragrance is over it all,
For sweet is the smell of my old, old books
In their places against the wall.
Here is a folio that's grim with age
And yellow and green and mold;
There's the breath of the sea on eYerypags
AND the hint of stanch ships hold.
And here treasure from France la belle
E,Xhaleth a faint perfume
OF welded lily and asphodel
In a garden of song abloom.
And this wee little book of Puritan mien
And rude, conspicuous print
Hath the Yankee flavor of wintergreen,
Or, maybe, of peppermint.
In Walton the brooks a-babbling tell
Where the cherry daisy grows,
And where in meadow or woodland dwell
The buttercup and the rose.
But best beloved of books, ween,
Are those which one perceiveS
Are hallowed by ashes dropped between
The yellow, well-thumbed leaves.
For It's here laugh and it's there tear,
Till the treasured book is read;
And the ashes betwixt the pages here
Tell US of one long dead.
But the gracious presence reappears
AS we read the book again,
And the fragrance of precious, distant
years
Filleth the hearts of men.
Come, pluck with me in my garden hooks
The posies that bloom for all;
Oh sweet is the smell of old, old books
In their places against the WALL
