SCHUEERfs SAD LIFE.
II Shall Have to Sneak From Door 70
Door to Beg My Bread

! DOOT ESg NY bEe1u.
One Of the birterest disappointments
in Schubert's life was Goethe's indiffer-
ence. In 1915 he sent a selection Of his
| compositions TO the poets songs to Wei
mar. What precious pearls of music
were among the collection-the songs
of "Mignon" and The Harpist. those
from Faust, " tba sad melodies Long
ing "Nightsong, = The Wanderers
Nightsong. 1.-THE Earl King, y Hal
deroslein, - 1.-THE Fisherman, 1.-The
Bard, - 1.-The King OF Thule and the
music to "Claudine of Villa Bella. :"
Goethe, who had an ear only for the
stiff compositions of Zumsteeg and Rein
hart then in fashion in Weimar, took
no notice of Schubert's music and left
his letter unanswered Not until 1890
after Schubert's death-did Goethe learn
to appreciate the extraordinary value of
the compositions that lay neglected in
his drawer. Itwas then that Wilhelmine
Schroeder Devrient sang The Earl
King to him.
1t was Schubert's greatest delight to
make some little excursion with his
friends to the picturesquely situated vii
lagos in the Wilnerwald or on the kah-
lenberg. and it was III the arbors of the
small inns, with a glass of pure country
wine before MIN, that inspiration came
most easily. But even these modest de-
lights were imbittered by the malice
that pictured him as a trunkard who
composed his songs when he was full of
wine 1t is an absolute fact that he did
not lose the faculty - artistic work even
under the saddest circumstances. He
composed the greater part Of the Mil.
Ter Songs" while he was lying i'll in
hospital in 1928. He was quite right
when he wrote to his friend Kuppel-
wieser in March, 1924, Those of my
compositions which have been inspired
by pain seem to please people best. :"
And in letter to Bauernfeld he COM
planned: What will become of poor me:
Like Goethe's harp player, shall have
to sneak from door to door and beg my
bread" The only ray Of light that fell
into his dark life was when, through
the kindness of Count Johann Ester
hays manager, Unger, the father of
the famous prima donna, Unger- Saba
tier, he was.appointed music master in
the counts household in Zelecs, where
he spent some happy summers, the hap
piest of his life. 1t was in Castle Zelecs
that he is supposed to have. fallen in
love with Caroline, his patron's beauti-
full daughter, who was his pupil, and
who probably never learned the secret
of the musicians heart, though it is
strange that one SO gifted and SO beauti-
fnl should not have married before she
was well into the thirties Bitter dis
appointment followed this short spell of
q life free of care-London Telegraph

How Two Hlack Rascals Turned Their
knowledge to Good Account.
Near one of the gates at the Union
station as the long train from Chicago
rolled in stood an old colored man. He
was bent under times burden, and it
was easy to imagine that he was one of
those relics of the south, one of those
picturesque characters of old plantation
life, that now live only in the memory.
The great engine was painting after
its long run, and amid the hustle and
confusion of the station the old man
seemed bewildered. Then as the passen-
gers came through the gate they saw
little act of kindness that touched a
tender chord of sympathy in more than
one heart.
Another colored man, who looked as
If he might be porter, stepped up and
slipped quarter in the old mans hand.
Then he quickly made his way off again,
looking half ashamed at his action.
The old man stood looking at the
quarter, with smile On his wrinkled
old face, and the next man placed an
other silver piece in his hand. The other
passengers followed suit, and the old
hat had to come off to hold the shower
of coin.
Just then the policeman on duty at
the station saw the old fellow and start
ed toward him, but with more agility
than one would have given him credit
for the cid man ran in among the
crowd and was lost.
Five minutes later two men were sit.
ting in saloon in Seventeenth street.
They were counting over pile of small
coins.

4 Moving Lake of Ice.

A lake Of ice 40 miles long, of vary
ing width and enormous depth, moving
at the rate of 60 feet day-such is the
ern Alaska.
It's surface is bil1owed into rounded
hills and beetling pIecipices, like an
ocean in fierce gale At its center it
is splintered into turrets and pinnacles
of amethyst, turquoise and sapphire
tinted ice, with spires Of dead white
crystals Countless creyasses Of i'm
mense depth seam all its surface, and at
the bottoms of these frightful gaps
streams Of pure, clear water find their
way.
From this vast mass of ice gigantic.
icebergs constantly break away geaward
as the glacier emerges from narrow
gateway into the open bay. So huge are
these falls as to imperil ships miles out
in the bay by the enormous waves they
raise.
Rewards That Are Sure, but Slow.

pies are sometimes severely tested, but
this testing is given us with purpose
Holding fast to honorable principles is
the basis upon which all sure successes

way to his library There he got down

That "CrOwn of ThOrns."

The Frostburg JOURNAL asserts that the Echo
was in error in stating that the famous
"crown of thorns and cross of gold' remark
of Mr.. Bryan was stolen from a speech made
by another congressman and by him from
Shakspeare's Jack Cade. That is, if we
understand the great paper. But the Echo
simply said that the discovery" "if it was
one,"'was not first published in the JOURNAL.
-Keyser CIV. Va.) Echo.
That is partly correct.
The discovery" however, that the
"crown of thorns" figure does not
appear in Shakspeare's character of
Jack Cade," so far as the JOURNAL
knows, was first published in its col
umns. And recently we sought to
show that it most likely occurs in
the Edwin Forrest decentralization of
Conrad's "Aylmere, the Bondman of
Kent "Aylmere" being Conrad's
aristocratic pseudonym for "Jack
Cade.'
So that Mr.. Bryan, the two Congress-
men and the Echo are all wrong.
1t appears that the Echo's fault was too i'm
plicit confidence in the erudition of the JOUR
NAL. Of course, strictly speaking, IAN unac-
credited quotation from Shakespeare is as
much plagiarism as from any other author
Isle ?)-Ibid.
The JOURNAL is at some loss to I'M
derstand the point which the Echo
questions. If it be the use of the
word, "unaccredited," the JOURNAL is
obliged to inform the Echo that it did
not use it. The word. as written and
printed, is "uncredited."
If it will placate 'the great paper we will
promise not to take its word in matter of
the kind without looking up the text for our
selves. Ibid
But what is the JOURNAL to expect
of Spectacles that add sylables which
change the meaning OF words, and then
throw doubt upon the Legitimacy of
their use?
The Echo must be Just before it as

New Coal Pier.

The new coal pier of the Consolida-
ton coal company which replaces the
old structure at Locust Point, Balti-
more, that collapsed April 6, was first
used on Monday. A city paper says
1t is 400 feet long, 40 feet wide and 30 feet
deep. 1t is built on piing, and is SO arranged
that vessels can be loaded at the same time
on both sides. There are three tracks on the
structure for handling the coal cars. The
track on either side runs over the coal chutes,
of which there are six on each side. A cen
trail track is used for carrying off the empty
cars and going on and off the cars move by
gravity.
1t takes about minute and a half to empty
a car into one of the chuteS from which the
coal moves into the hold of the vessel The
chutes are adjustable, and as many of them
can be employed in loading vessel as the
vessels matches will accommodate. Four
|, 800 ton vessels can be loaded at one time
The new pier has a dumping capacity of
5000 tons. which is 800 tons greater than
that of the old one.

A E'allaCY.


Some time ago the Baltimore Water
Board asked the coal companies fol
bids per ton to furnish bituminous
coal for use at the city's pumping
stations.
Nine prices We're given ranging from
500 to $2.40.
The average was $3.50
Take off the $l.95 per ton, which
citizen J. Semmes Devecmon says "the
railroads get" and exactly 80 cents is
left for the men who own, dig, handle
and sell the coal.
But if the miner got all the railroads
do not confiscate he would still be 10
cents per ton short.
1t is upon such predicates as $l.95
per ton freight that Uncle Sam builds
the air castles of socialism, those rose
tinted structures of etheric sublimation
to which sun burned, wind blown,
storm-beaten labor is invited to retire
and be forever at rest.
The wise man has said ''all is van
lty," but the JOURNAL frequently fears
that the entire realm of Utopia has
been cornered by Uncle Sans type of
socialism.

Errors of Discovery.

The Keyser CIV. Va.) Echo states
that it
simply said that the discovery (of Bryan's
"crown of thorns' tigure) if discovery, was
not first published in the JOURNAL.
Unfortunately for the Echo, that
claim was never made.
The JOURNAL did learn enough,
however, to show
l, That the congressman from whom
it was stated Mr.. Bryan borrowed the
figure could not have stolen it from
the brief career of "Jack Cade" in
Shakespeare, and
=, That it must have been taken
from the dramatized Jack Cade' of
Robert T. Conrad, a play largely
edited by Edwin Forrest.
1t is more than likely that during
his life on the stage Mr.. Bryan saw
this work, practically limited in cir
culation to the theatrical profession,
and "cribbed" one of its many striking
passages.
"The discovery" made by the JOUR-
NAL was that previous discoveries, no
matter how early or often published,
We're erroneous.
