MUSICAL NOTES.

A very varied and interesting pro- gramme is being arranged for Miss Messengers concert on Tuesday even ing next. AS it is the young 1ady's first appearance here nlo doubt she will be- we'll supported by a full at- tendance.
 The Philharmonic club has adopted it's new rules and constitution MT. Mont F. Chubb tEl elected conductor. Miss Marguerite Williams is secretary, MT. w. E.. Deity, president; Mrs. Mil Ter. vice president; Mrs. Clarke, I;- brarian, and Mrs. Deity, accompanist. The meeting place is the Baptist church, every Monday evening at 7:30. The first Monday every month is set aside for a general programme, at which friends of the club can attend by invitation
 A charming little story is told of the late Johannes Brahms He had a great admi1aIIon for the genius of Strauss and gave very delicate ex- pression to it and conveyed a very charming compliment by inscribing on the fan of Strauss wife a few bars of the well known wal.z '4Blue Dan ube,'' and signing unfortunately not by Johlannes Brahms"
 A correspondent calls our attention to very amusing ''bull'' ard writes: We all kniow that King Charles walked and talked six months after his head was cut off, but the follow ing information with regard to Schu- bert may lDe new to some: Tn March, 1928, he waiJ embroidered to give his first public d-tricet It was a thor Ough success. The next one was giy- en to drsfray the expenses of his funer- aL Six months later, b1pken in health and spirit, he lturned his face to the wall and passed away"
 A writer in the Chicago Post having attributed to Wagner, as dying dec lara,ion, the words 'sSeidl pleases me greatly" was severely taken to task by an indignant Wagnerian, who de- l ciared that the master said 'tSeidl delights me graahly." I am glad to find that the eIlring man took correc- ton in a meek spirit, remarking: "It is pleasant to know that the great master passed away in a condition of pleasure and it is the simplest jus i,ice to Herr Seidl that we should give him full credit as the cause of these transports" Not content with this handsome declaration, the writer made peace offering of poetry. There is land of pure deligh. Where soulful song holds sway, Where 'fSiegfried" is performed all night,
 And -'Lohengrin" all day. And kindred spirits all in white On heavenly trombones play. { This is said to be a quotation from Henr Fink, the grd3test living Wag. merriam poet.
