THE UNITED BROTHERHOOD.
The Brig Percy Edwards Sails for the
South Sea Islands TODAY.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-The
brig Percy Edwards cleared to-day for
Tahiti, and on her goes the United
Brotherhood of the South Sea Islands.
The brig goes to Tahiti. and from that
port will sail wherever the fancy of
those on board dictates.
The expedition was brought about by
the publication in a local paper of a
story to the effect that ON St. Johns s
Island, in the South Seas, were a
number of dusky women who were pin
ing for husbands. All the men had
been killed in war, and the women
were lonely. A company was organ
lied in this city to go TO the relief of
the dusky damsels, and on board the
Edwards are ninety-seven who sigh
for the tropical cline and the easy life
i'll the South Seas.
1t has since developed that the
Adamless Eden story was a myth, but
the company organized here deter
mined to so to some place. Each man
contributed 500 to q common fund.
The old whaling bark Edwards was
bought and provisioned, ;Sld tomorrow
the expedition starts. The men are
provided with agricultural imple-
ments, and several trades are repre-
scented. They viii look for some unin-
habited isle. and when they have found
1t they propose to settle down to a life
of ease.

SALEM, (Or), Feb. 24.-Senator
Mitchell to-day abandoned the fight for
reelection to the United States Senate,
when the joint convention adjourned
His supporters have gone home, claim
ing the Legislature adjourned sine die.
Both the Senate and the temporary
House are left without a quorum, but
measures to perfect organization are un-
der way. Attempts at reorganization
will be confined largely to the House.
When it is ready for business, it is an
ticipated that there will be very little
trouble in getting back enough .Sena-
tors to make up a quorum of twenty.
There have been many expressions
from mem bers of the late Benson House
that they are now ready to go in for any
organization on any reasonable basis,
and the project to make up a quorum
is likely to succeed. The Senate will
meet from day to day until the House
succeeds or fails.

IN the Counts household in Zelecs
where he spent some happy summers,

heart, though it is strange that one SO
gifted and so beautiful should not have
married before she was we'll into the
thlrties. Bitter disappointment fol-
lowed this short spell of a life free of
care.
Schubert's grave was opened ten
years ago, and his remains were re-
inferred in the great Central Cemetery,
where the Choral Society of Vienna
erected a beautiful monument to his
memory. Close to Schubert and Bee
thoven lay buried Goethe's grand
daughter Alma, who was afterward
taken to Weimar, and opposite to
Schubert's grave 1 discovered that of
Mrs. Spencer Smith, to whom Byron
dedicated the verses beginning "Oh,
Lady; when l left the shore" and
whom he apostrophized in the stanzas
on the thunder storm of Zitza in
"Childe Harold" beside mentioning
the romantic incidents of her life in a
letter to his mother. This grave has
with the others. On Schu-
berts old grave was chiseled the in
scription written by Grillparzer:
THE art of song buried a precious
jewel here, and greater hopes beside:
Franz Schubert lies in this grave"
The prosaic epilogue to the poetry of
his life and death is found in the in
ventory of the goods he left behind
him-three frock coats of broadcloth,
three common coats nine kerchiefs for
the neck and pocket, one sheet, a heap
of musical manuscript and a few

SChubert'S Sad Life.

One of the bitterest disappoint-
ments in Schubert's life was Goethe S
Indifference. In 1918 he sent a selec-
ton of his compositions to the poet s
songs to Weimar. What precious
pearls of music were among the col
lection-the songs of "Mignon' and
The Harpist," those from Faust, -
the sad melodies Longing" Might
THE Earl King" "Haideroslein," THE
Fisherman" The Bard" 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 Reinhart, then in fash
ion in Weimar, took no notice of
Schuberts S music and left his letter un-
answered. Not until 1S30-after Schu-
0ert's death-did Goethe learn to ap-
preciate the extraordinary value of the
compositions that lay neglected in his
drawer. 1t was then that Wilhelmine
Schroeder Devrient sang the ''E1rl- King
to him.
1t was Schubert's greatest delight to
make some little excursion with his
friends to the picturesquely situated
villages in the Wilnerwarld or on the
kahlenberg. and it was in the arbors
Of the small inns, with a glass of pure
country wine before him, that inspir-
alton came most easily. But even
these modest delights were embittered
by the malice that pictured him as a
drunkard, who composed his songs
when he was full of wine. 1t is an
absolute fact that he did not lose the
faculty of artistic work even under the
saddest circumstances. He composed
the greater part of the Miller Songs"
while he was lying i'll in hospital in
1898. He was quite right when he
wrote to his friend Kuppelwieser in
March, 1924: Those of my compost
tions which have been inspired by pain
seem to please people best And in a
letter to Bauernfeld he complained
What will become of poor me? Like

rIasCagni's New Opera.

Signor Mascagnis new Japanese
opera, Iris is now almost finished.
Madame Alma Dalma, who is to create
the title part in America, and has
studied it for about a month with the
composer at Pesaro, publishes in the
Berlin "Tagebfatter'' a very interest
ing article on his latest work, which in
her opinion in every respect far sur
passes "Cavalleria Rusticana." The Ii
bretto written by Signor Illica, is de-
scribed by Madame Dalma as follows:
Iris is a young, innocently pure Jap
anese girl who lives with her blind
father in quiet seclusion, knowing moth
ing of the passions and wickedness of
the world Her whole life is dream
Of happiness and song. She sings to
the sun, to her dolls, and in his happi-
ness at possessing such a child, the
father forgets his own misfortune. A
young Japanese Prince who is an en-
thusiast about everything that is beau
tiful sees the young girl and hears her
songs. He falls passionately in love
with her and assisted by his servants,
he succeeds in abducting her while her
father is absent. This scene is exceed
ingly dramatic. and the airs here sung
by the heroine win in all probability
make the success of this act. The scene
ends with the return of the father, who
finds the house empty and deserted
and calls despairingly for his child.
THE second act is full OF light and
color. The scene is laid in one of the
gayeSt parts of Toxic. The interior of
the theater is richly decorated and il
Illuminated, the sounds of the samisen
and kOto are heard, beautiful spirits
sing and dance, guests arrive in their
jinrickshas, and in short everything is
gay. To this spot has Iris been brought
by the Prince. She is still innocent as
child, and believes that she has sud-
denly been transferred to the glories
of paradise. And as her belief has
taught her that in paradise one is capa-
BILE of doing anything, she tries to paint
Alas, she can only make a colored
daub and not a picture. She tries to
play an accompaniment to her songs
on the sarniSe. But it is only a shrill
cacophony. She flies into childish rage
and dashes colors, pictures and instru
ments to the ground At this moment
her blind father enters. He has been
searching high and low for her. He
hears her words and 1magineS that his
child has fallen and curses her. In the
third act Iris, who could not live with
her fathers curse upon her, is found
dead The dream of happiness is at an
end-the hideous reality has touched
it,
In the second act there is a pretty
comic air for the tenor and a duet be-
tween Iris and the Prince. Signor Mas
cagni was so enchanted with the IL
bretto and his mind so occupied with
his work, that for weeks he found no
rest. He often left his bed to write
down the melodies which, as he says,
flowed through his brain like a stream.
The libretto," he writes, lis charming.
If the public likes my music only half
as much as / like the libretto, then the
success will be enormous. Berlin cor

BECKER's DESIRE SATISFIED.
Loughead Accepts His Challenge for a
Five-MiIe Bicycle Race.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-Becker's s
desire for a match race is soon to be
satisfied. The Minneapolis flyer issued
a sweeping challenge on Tuesday, Of
fering to race any professional rider
at five miles, each rider to furnish his
own pacemaking. This was promptly
accepted to-day by Fred Loughead,
the Canadian champion, who seemed
only too anxious to contend with the
famous five-mile crackajack in as short
order as possible. Loughead offers to
race under any arrangements possible,
unpaced, with pacemakers, starting to-
gether from scratch or from opposite
sides of the track. He furthers offers
Il put up a side bet of $500, and states
that he is ready at a moments notice
to put up his money should Becker de-
eide to toe the mark.
