kind? And yet Milton died in poverty
while the people shouted Long Live the
King!" and the court was mad with the
wine that the shouters paid for.
1t is indeed a fortunate thing nowadays
for the man of genius when the nobility
| appreciates him. 1t means lifelong sue
cess and fame instantly and favor from
the world.
The eminent m usician, Professor Xavel
Scharwenka has been favored in this way
more, perhaps, than any musician of the
day. In '79 he PLAYED in the presence oi
the Emp .ror and Empress of Germany.
His paying so charmed the Empress
Augusta that she expressed the desire tc
hear him play Beethoven's "Appas-
sionata."
In return for the D easure which his rem
dition of the piece gave her, the EN- press
made him gift in the shape of pair of
hand some cuff buttons.
Later in the same year Scharwenka went
to London and was so extremely success
FIJI that ne gave twenty eight concerts in
the city. Two concerts were given at the
old Philharmonique, and at one of these
he again had the good fortune to become
acquainted with part of a royal family
and this time it vas the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales. After the concert the Prince
went to the artists rooms and chatted
awhile, ana evidently the Prince was
deeply impressed with the musician s
good taste we'll as his playing, since it
is chrOnlcled with all due solemnity tha:
his Royal Highness asked Scharwenka for
a cigarette But we are not told whethe
he smoked it or not.
Professor Scharwenka then betook him
self and his talents to Vienna The EN-
peror OF Austria was present at the first
concert he gave there, in August, 1881
After the concert a very influential mem-
Der OF the Austr an court, Prince Hohen-
lohe, congratulated the artist on his phe-
nomenal success and invited him to his
residence. The last of that month Schar-
wenka was nominated pianist of the en-
pire. Prince Hohenlohe, who died a few
weeks ago, and was brother to the pres
ent German Chancellor was very atten.

opera in Vienna Mr.. and Mrs. Scharwenka
were often seen in the Princes box, and
afterward lively correspondence Kept up
the friendship between the Austrian
Prince and the prince of music.

and Queen of Roumania. He went to
