MARVELLOUS MUSICAL MEMORY
Such Was Possessed by the Great
MendcIasOhn.


When Mendelssohn Played. on the
piano or the organ, the listener felt the
great musician and composer in every
bar. The mans musical memory was
marvellous. Sir Charles Halle, who, in
1912, spent several weeks with Men
delssohn at Frankfort, describes, in
his autobiography" three instances
of the composers memory. He writes:
The greatest treat was to sit with
him at the piano and listen to innumer-
able fragments from haf-forgotten,
beautiful works of Cherubini, Chuck,
Bach, Palestrina and Marcel.o. It was
only necessary to mention one of them
to hear it played to perfection, until 1
came to the conclusion hat he knew
every bar of music ever written, and,
what was more, could produce it imme-
diately.
One morning Hitler and were play
ing together one of Bach's organ pieces
on the piano-ene of no particular in
terest, but which we wished to know
better. When we were in the middle
of it-a part hardly to be distinguished
from many similar ones-the door
opened, Mendelssohn entered, and,
without interrupting us, rose on tip
toes, and, with his uplifted finger,
pointed significantly at the next bar
which was coming and contained aIt
unexpected and striking meditation.
So, from hearing through the door q
bar or two of a-for Bach-somewha
commonplace piece, he not only recog-
nized it at once, but he knew the exact
place we had arrived at, and what was
to follow in the next bar. His memory
was prodigious and his knowledge in
innate.
1t is we'll known that when he re-
vited Dach's Passion Music" and con-
Quoted the first performance, he found,
on stepping to the conductors desk,
that a score similar In binding and
thickness, but of another work, had
been brought by mistake. He conduct
ed thisamazingly complicated work by
heart, turning leaf after leaf of the
book he had before HIM in order not to
create any feeling Of uneasiness on the
part OF the musicians ana BihEefs--

Conflicting Reports.

The latest news we have regarding
the disaster to the Maine is contained
in the following special to the Ga
zette under date of the 18th:
AS on yesterday the news regard
ing the Maine disaster is very coz
hict;ng.
General Blanco Immediately tele-
graphed reg fets and a disclaimer of
any kuo Wedge or completely in the
dastardly deed by any Of the Spanish
authorities, and offers every assist
ance to unravel the mystery.
There ia growing tendency i'll all
quarters toward the belief that the
loss of the vessel is due to Spanish
tarachery, however, those in official
positions will not say so, nor can they
until the matter is thoroughly in
vestigated and the ships bottom care
fully examined by divers.
The investigation committee has
been appointed and it will be several
days before they can report. AL the
wounded have been taken to Key
West.
A telegram says chat Captain Sigs-
bee says he was blown up by Il
Spanish torpedo. This is denied at
the Navy department, but it is
thought to be true. Congress has
voted years pay to the relatives of
the dead seanen.
Flags are at half mast throughout
the country. War and rumors of
war seem TO be in the air.
All is quiet in Havana, and only
the greatest sympathy Is expressed on
all hands for the disaster.

A NoroR16Us SHAME.

Under this head, Phil Francis has
this ringing editorial in the Stockton
Mail:
The admirer OF Speaker Reed, IN
sist that he could not gag the House
unless the majority Of the House was
willing to be gagged. The Speakers
admirers do not give the man credit
for his immense forcefulness. They
do not realize the power be holds in
his grip, nor the logged, immovable
courage with which he yields that
power.
We undertake to affirm that the
Republican majority in the house Is
but the puppet of the Speakers will.
And we rest the assertion upon one
simple proposition. Speaker Reed
will not allow resolution recognize
ing Cuban belligerency to come be-
fore the House for vote. 1t is. evil
dent that he will not permit such n
vote because he knows a majority Of
the House will vote aftirmatirely.
Therefore we are confronted with the
fact that the majority of the House
desires to pass u resolution and that
the Speaker, by refusing to put such
a resolution to vote, overrides the ma
jority and is III effect the arbitrary
master Of the house whose servant he
ironically declares himself to be.
The nation is Inundated and sham
ed, The flag is msulted. The Presi-
dent is DETAINED. Our honor is spit
upon by crowd of cowardly butch
ers. A valiant and high spirited poo-
pie is disgraceG in the eyes of the
world because single Congressman,
usurping power unknown to the Con-
stitnLiou, gags the representatives Of
the nation and will permit neither
debate nor vote nor even remon-
STRANGE.
The Speakers is the tool of Wall
street. In the estimation of Wall
street the Spanish bonds and securi
ties are infinitely more valuable than
national honor. The fiat has gone
forth that rather than destroy Spain s
ability to pay interest the United
States shall sit idle under insult and
watch with uuresentfule eyes the butch
cry and rape and torture Of tbous-
ands Of people fighting bravely for
that same liberty for winch our faith
ers fought.
There was time when no nation
under the sun dared to put an insult
upon our flag; when the honor of the
republic was l:ept sweet and clean by
the valOr and spirit of it's representa-.
tives in Congress; when neither dol
lars nor lives were aught but dust in
the balances when weighed against
the peril of the nations glory. in
those brave days the republic was so
great, so glorious, so renowned.
How art thou fallen, Lucifer. son OF
morning! How art thou pulled down
that was great among the nations!
