OF all the arts, music is generally con-
ceded to be the most elusive and in
tangible. The laws which govern it are
more elastic than those which regulate
the other arts, and it has been the last
of them all to develop. There is moth
ing more definite in nature upon which
to build in music than that which Mr.
Pythagoras vaguely designated some
time since as the "music of the spheres: :
neither is there anything there with
which to compare or contrast In its ap-
probation and understanding since the
province OF music Is not to reproduce
nor to represent nature.
AS an art, music Is to sound what
painting is to color, or sculpture and
architecture are to form. But whereas
in picture one can judge by association
with what can be found in nature, and
in scvlpture and architecture the mind
reverts to objects seen in daily life, in
music there is nothing that is familiar
wherewith to make comparison in dis
eliminating between the good, bad ana
Indifferent.
Another factor that adds to the COM
plexity in understanding music is the
fact that there must be a medium be-
tween the composer and the public. The
listener does not have direct communi-
cation with the composer, but hears in
stead some other person or persons
Interpretation of the work. All these
facts have tended to hold music back as
an art both in its development and it's
appreciation, and the difficulties are
only beginning to be met and overcome
In Its construction, scientific law and
artistic inspiration as well have in the
last century been blended In producing
results and the world Is at last begin
ming to realize that a full enjoyment ana
understanding Of its subtleties, demand
serious attention and consideration.
The act of listening Is of itself de-
veloping into a fine art, and means act
i've intellectual effort rather than pas
sive indulgence as in a pastime. Peo-
pie who have always felt they loved
music are beginning to wake up to the
fact that after all it was only the agree
able sounds that caressed their ears that
they loved. rather than music in all its
majesty as great art. And the very
people who would laugh at q man who
professed love of nature yet couldn't

WORDS OF PRAISE
FOR MANAGEMENT OF THE UN.
EMPLOYED RELIEF WORK
Large Numbers Visit the Park and
View the Work in Progress--A
Practical Philanthropy

Responding to the suggestion that
ladies, and especially school teachers
and pupils, should visit Elysian park
and see for themselves how the work at
that point is progressing and take look
at 400 men stretched along shelf on the
mountain side, earning 81 a day with
pick and shovel and crowbar, large
number of persons availed themselves
of the beautiful weather yesterday, and
teachers and children in large numbers
thronged the Elysian fields and had an
object lesson in practical philanthropy.
Many of the wealthy subscribers to the
relief fund have visited the park to see
how the money was expended, and they
have only words Of praise for the busi-
ness-like methods pursued by the COM
mittee.
7. D. Stimson, who was one of the first
subscribers, when invited the other day
to go out to the scene and note the pro-
gress being made, said he had been out
there three times He commended the
work in the highest terms and thought
the labor problem had been solved in the
best possible way.
Speaking of the work now being per-
formed at the Elysian park by the bene-
ficiaries of the relief and park fund for
the unemployed, Kaspare Cohn, one of
the generous contributors to that fund,
remarked: II am with the relief commit
tee all the way. They have grasped
serious subject in a practical way, and
they are doing a splendid work for the
reputation of the city"
F. M. Coulter says: II believe in the
way the work is being done; it actually
takes 1t out of the line of charity, as it
does not destroy the manhood of the un-
employed 1t is a good work done in
business-like way"
r. N. Bulla: 1.-The work is one of the
most commendable ever done in this city;
it is bridging over danger that existed
in practical way. and its success is due
to the busiress-like methods of the COM
mittee."
Jacoby Bros: This work is al credit
to the city and the nst thing that could
have been done under the circumstances.
We are very much in favor of it"
Julius H. Martina II am very much in
favor of the way the money given is ex-
pended; the relief committee is proceed
