THE LATE SIMON MErzGER-


 The Hartford Times says of the late Simon Metzger of Hartford, formerly of New Haven:
 Simon Metzger was a factor in the musical life of this city, whose inhu- ence was not the less because he had ceased to be an interpreter in solo or direction When he still played his renditions were marked by great ex- actness and brilliancy which bespoke the habit of playing Tn large halls or to considerable audiences. On the violin and the piano his tone was full bodied and self-asserting. You got it's true value in tone and sonorousness, and it was almost painfully exact. Together with this, there was an incisive bril- liancy, with much breadth and bold ness of expression. It was perhaps more suited for production in large To- calities than for the chamber. Still, while the above qualities resulted in a sort of seif-asserting loudness and a somewhat hard color, yet the entire production was beautifully true and exact, you got the full value and auali- ty of tone, the rendition was as precise as a Vandyke picture. And the spirit and tempo were always full of life evenin slow movements and in resist ing expression You felt the human thought and feeling behind the strings, the warm finger had left it's touch on the note.
 Tn later years in this city Mir Metz gers musical science and judgment were chiefly of service to the communi- ty l,i 4t, were of very great service. If, with all other dealers and managers, he was in- clined to become enthusiastic with the musician he handled at the time, he yet exercised great judgment in what he handled, and for years past nothing doubtful or bare of merit has been brought forward by his firm. If they have served their own commercial ne- cessities they have also served the cause of music and of the community, and an occasional financial ill-success with a performer or orchestra was more than half compensated for to Si- mon Metzger by their artistic triumph He was always musician in the first place and dealer In the second His judgment was not entirely classic, but moved on level between the require ments of pure art and those of the pub- lie, as it is, and, while he fully sensed the lyric, the emotional and the ideal in music, his taste inclined to the bril- liant and dramatically effective. With this he was rigorous on points of exe- cution.
 Quiet and undemonstrative, as was his way, yet he could say the right word at the right time and determine a musical course or undertaking in the right direction. He was serious and sincere, and of thorough honesty as a musician and a man. Both the cause of music in this city and our community at large sustain a very appreciable loss in his death.'

SPANISH NEWSPAPERS.

Spain is country of 100000 pop
ulation, but there are fewer newspa-
pers published in it, daily, weekly,
and bi-monthly, official, semi official,
secular and scientific, than are pub
lished in the single American state Of
Illinois, which, by the last federal
census, had population of $500, 900.
And many if not most, of the news
papers published in Spain are newspa-
pers in name only, for their most dis
tinguishing characteristic is that they
do not contain any news, being devo-
ted to what is called matters in gen.
erl,' or such matters in particular as
permit of the publication of the paper
any dy of the week or any hour of the
day-it does not make much difference
which.
In Madrid. the capital, a newspaper
which has been frequently referred TO

style, and makes feature of foreign
dispatches-whe it gets them. Ell
Globo, a journal of liberal tendencies,
has a much larger circulation, though
smaller in size than Ell Liberal or the
impartial, two other papers we'll
known to European readers generally
who are familiar with Spanish jour
nalism. The propensity of the Span
iards to indulge in bombastic titles is
reflected somewhat in the press of
that country. Cadiz, a town having
about the same population as Hart
ford, Conn, has two daily papers, one
known as the Defender of CadiZ and
the other as Clamor. One of the
Madrid papers, paper almost wholly
devoted to illusions to the past great
ness of Spain, is called the Future
Century, and two of the papers of
Malaga are known respectively as the
News and the Future. A favorite IT,
tie among the provincial papers of
Spain is Publcated (publicity), which
can hardly be regarded as wise
selection of title for country which
receives fewer foreign telegraphic dis
patches in week than the city Of
New York gets in a day, and in which
press censorship exists of so stern
a quality as to divest Spanish papers
generally of all claim 10 independence
in matters relating to the govern
ment.- Newspaperdom.
