FOUR YET UNACCOUNTED FOR
Besides, Possibly. Strangers Who
Persisted in the Butte Fire

Butte Mont, March 22-The manage
ment of the Hale house claim TO have
accounted for all but fou rof those sup
posed to have been asleep theer at the
time Of the fire. They are: Frank Kries-
baum, Daniel Sullivan, Martin Rooney
and Tom Starr.
Starr, according 70 the information con-
veyed to the police, occupied a room on
the fourth floor. He arrived in the city
form Leadville only the day previous to
the fire and had engaged lodgings at the
Hale house upon his arrival in the city.
Starr had been drinking on the evening
of the fire, and had retired to his room
in an intoxicated condition. 1t IS believed
Starr was in such a condition Of help
Iessness that he could not have escaped
perishing in the flames.
Kriegbaum came here only Two weeks
ago from Park City, Utai. and was work
ing as a miner at the Moonlight mine.
His friends have seen nothing OF him
since the fire.
The other two were residents Of Butte,
but out OF work.
It is believed other bodies will be found
in the ruins. those of strangers VINO were

NETRONOME NO GOOD.

Richard Wagner once wrote, with par
donable exaggeration, that the conduc-
tors art is summed up in the correct in
stinct for tempo-the pace at which a piece
is taken. Dismayed by the errors so fire.
quently made by conductors he once IN
took to provide metronome marks for the
whole of his opera ''Tannhauser, but he
found that there were more misconcep-
tons than ever, wherefore he concluded
that the metronome is misleading, and
thenceforth confined his marks chiefly to
notifications of tempo, "of which our
conductors know practically nothing"
Beethoven, too found the metronome
useless encumbrance. He twice provided
his ninth symphony with metronome
marks, and very differently in the two
cases. When this was pointed out to him
he exclaimed: mo meronome! A man
who has the right feeling does not need
he and the whole orchestra run away
from it." In view of such facts it IS
amusing to find newspaper writers assum-
ing an air of papal authority in the matter
of tempo on the strength of the metro
nome. Within a few weeks Mr.. Theodore
Thomas and Mr.. SeidI have been severely
criticised for their incorrect tempt in MOI
art and Beethoven symphonies. Presum-
ably those two conductors know their
business quite as we'll as journalists know
il. There is room for differences of opin-
ion. but they should be expressed with
becoming modesty.

sCHUMANN's LIFE PASSION.

L
The March number of the Musician has
a series of araicles describing Schumann
and his works from various points of view.
Inone Of these Mr.. Louis c. Elson says:
Schumann's life passion. his great love
for Clara Week: deserves TO be carefully
studied by the musician, for two rea-
sons; firstly, the composer was very au-
Biographical i nhis music, and as he
transmitted the event of his life into tones
one can obtain the clue to many of his
works by thorough knowledge of the de-
tails of his career; secondly, the story of
his long WoOing is as beautiful as the
tale of Heloise and Abelard, or Petrarch
and Laura. 1t is pity that some SEN
acknowledgements have overlaid the
story with false tales which by no means
improve 1t; the statement that Schumann
wrote his "Warum'' as proposal to
Clara Week, and that it softened the
heart Of her obdurate father, is entirely
devoid of truth. Schumann finally won
his bride by lawsuit. To illustrate how
Schumann's music sprang from the events
Of his life we may state that the Car
nival' was the outcome of an affection for
q young lady named Ernestine Won Eric
ken Gust as Romeo had a passing fancy
for Rosalinde before his great devotion to
Juliet and was species Of musical love-
letter.

MUSIC OF NATURE.

According to a writer in the March num-
Der of Mr.. Matthews periodical Music
Chicago, nature is full of music if we
only listen to it. For example:
If one is awakened from sleep on a sum-
mer night by a barking dog or a company
of musical cats, will such a one caer for
the tone Of either? The dog will bark in a
range from middle c to an octave above
unless very small animal, then its tone
will be within a fifth above. IF a good
watch dog It will go down into the bass
cleft for its growl The cats in concert
will range from F below middle c to the
second above. covering contralto and
soprano voices-no doubt entertaining, If
We could comprehend the song. If the cat
is happy and contented in its surroundings
it will purr on A and B, lowest tones of
the piano scale. The bird Of the air and
the beast of the field have the power to
produce each its own individual sound, and
if we could properly combine them we
might bring forth results such as pos
sibly prevailed in the Garden of Eden.
when Adam knew and called by name all
in the animal kingdom.

BERLIN THE CENTER,

It is said that Leschetitzky is about TO
desert Vienna for Berlin. which he con-
siders the worlds musical center at pre-
sent. This idea seems to be borne out by
what Mr.. Floersheim writes in a letter to
the Musical Courier:
Berlin's musical life is constantly and
SO rapidly increasing that the enterpris-
