Padereyvski on Chinese Music,
From Harper's Weekly.

The comments of Paderewskl and Mar
sick, the violinist, upon the Chinese music
they heard in Chicago during their excur-
sions into Chinatown are interesting. To
the majority of visitors, musical or other
wise, the sounds extracted by an orchestra
of Mongolians from their primitive ban
joes and guitars is harder to endure than
the screeching Of the bagpipes or the BLAIR
ing of the tomtom. Great then was the
surprise when Paderewski expressed not
only appreciation but appreciation of the
music executed by the champion artists of
Chinatown. After awarding it his closest
attention he announced that it was not only
harmonious, but was dominated by a Just
and restraining sense of art, showing an
advanced instead of a crude state of music
al development. This is what the Chinese
themselves say. 1t is our music they think
primitive. Marsick however, is of quite a
different opinion. He says he can find
neither form nor beauty nor art in the be-
wildering whining and braying Of a Chi
nese musical composition. He says that it
undoubtedly contains harmonies and that
what is known among the common herd as
tunes occasionally appear in it, and wander
en- with constant repetitions and variations
of the original theme. But to find in it
any expression Of advanced art is to him
impossible. Like the rest Of the world he
thinks 1t music in the savage state, the
tentative attempts of people who have not
yet got on as far as Little Annie Rooney"

FRED GRANTS HOPE.
The Dead Presidents Son Snid to
Want to Run With Mckinley.

st. Louis Special In The Philadelphia Press.
Fred Grant, 1t is said wants second place
on the ticket with Mckinley. Not only has
he visited Canton, but he has secured the
highest-priced suite of apartments at the
Planters Hotel, on the same floor with
those of the New York delegation, and they
will be occupied not by the colonel, but by
a lobbyist, the fairest and most resourceful
in the land. She is mono other than Mrs.
Potter Palmer OF Chicago. Grants sister,
in-law. Her father. Ben F. Honore, paid
flying visit TO Chicago, and to an old-tims
friend from Louisville confided his son-in-
laws ambition and how his daughter in
tended to aid him to compass it.
She will take up her quarters in suite
AIS at the Planters on June u and begin
the work of eIectioneering. 1t is said she
has a majority of the Illinois delegation
pledged 20 her brother-in-law, and that she
has secured promises from number OF
other republican state leaders to work for
Col. Grants nomination. Senator Cullom
is scheduled to put Col. Grant in nominal
ton, and Warner Miller OF New York Is
booked to make the scconding speech.
Those who know the resources of dipIo-
macy and wide acquaintanceship among
leaders in politics and finance in all the
states at the command of this renowned
woman can understand how strong the
Grant candidacy will be.

From the Pittsburg Christian Advocate.

Men never differ very widely about the
quality of genius. but they are much at
variance as to what constitutes that quail
ity. Is genius natural, or is it acquired ?
Can a man, by native powers, unaided by
hard labor and close application, mount
the pedestal of genius? We think not.
Genius rather is the result of careful study
Of ones natural abilities coupled with un-
renting application of those powers to
the work in hand. Instead of being gen
fuses in spite of themselves, men are so In
spite of circumstances. The idea of a law
genius is untenable. The genius is the
most painstaking and busy of all men.
Labor il genius.
