a series of grotesque gyrations. The
coon" song has changed all this, for
we now have what is called in vaude-
vile, a '6oon sketch team. in when
the negro lady takes an equally prom
inent place with her partner or, better
still, there are whole companies with
both sexes, such as Black Patti and her
troubadours.
There are reasons in plenty why the
negro and the negro songs should be
popular and should have the vogue
which they are now enjoying. 1t was
Anton Dvorak, the eminent composer,
who declared that the only distinct
music, which our country has produc-
ed was the negro music as sung
and played by the negroes. 1t
is the same observation which
other students of our musical institu-
tons have made, and they have pro-
fessed to discover an American school
of music in such compositions as "Old
Black joe" ''Way Down Upon the
Suwanee River and kindred melodies.
Whatever the reason, it is certain that
the negro melodies have always ap-
pealed to American people. What could
; be more plaintively beautiful and me-
lodious than the "Suwanee River,
known and sung and played and loved
in almost every home in the Union!
1t is an idealized negro melody, but 1t
| has in it all the elements-beauty of
| rhythm, of time, pathoS and words
| that lift so many of the negro songs
out of the commonplace and make them
| linger in the memory.
| This is a distinct class, however, and
not the one which is popular to-day.
The letter represents the happy-go-
| lucky, irresponsible, shiftless, song
ambulance negro, the negro who is in
variably represented as fond of chicken,
who dearly loves CRAPS" who believes
in portents and ASPIRATIONS and luck.
These are the negroes who have in
ficted upon us and upon every COM
munity in the United States the cake
walk, once the natural expression of a
saltatory desire, now the commercial re-
Spouse to a popular demand But in
being fixed up to meet the current
taste, the cake walk has lost much
of its naturalness and genuineness and
has become affected, premeditated, de-
liberate, without spontaneity; one can
almost hear the pulling of the wires
as the puppets tip-toe through the walk
for the coveted prize. The music, how
ever, retains its charm. Its prevailing
tone is one of joyousness, freedom from
care and trouble and anxiety, and IN
many respects it typifes the race How
much of this is written by the negroes
themselves it would be difficult to tell,
but many of the songs popular to-day
| came directly from the cabins and
levees of the South 1t is interesting TO
note that the coon song is popular
| abroad, especially in England, where it
is played and sung by Coctneys, with
a cockney accent. Yvette Guilbert, the
| famous singer of chansons and the
much-advertised Anna Held have also
introduced them in Paris but it is

A Distressful Condition That
Hudyan Relieves and
Cures.

Stomach disorder may commence and
proceed SO insidiously as not to excite
the suspicion of the patient until it is
firmly established. One may know that
the digestion Is interfered with if some of
the following symptoms are present: A
or bloating, impairment of appetite sour
ness, fatulency, bitter taste drowsiness,
lack of energy, disturbed sleep, coated
tongue, heartburn, irritable temper, ETC.
The slightest functional disturbance of
the stomach deranges more or less all the
liver becomes inactive and constipa ton
ensues. Nervous symptoms also arise,
which make stomach disorder a thing to
be dreaded. The memory becomes IMPAIR
ed, the patient rolls and losses at night
unable to sleep, and arises in the morning
totally unfit for the days duties.
HUDYAN will correct the evil, HID

Otto Floersheim writes in the "Musi-
cal Courier that the lawsuit of the
late Max Alvary against the city of
Mannheim has been compromised. The
City Council agrees to pay to Alvary' s
heirs the sum of $4,000 marks (close
upon 81, 400 if they withdraw the suit,
the expenses of which are to be borne
in equal shares by the city treasury,
the heirs and M. Alois Prasch, who was
intendant of the Mannheim Court
Opera at the time of the accident which
befell Alvary upon the Mannheim
stage, when as Siegfried he entered
fathers cave and fell into an open
trap. The court exonerated Director
Prasch from all blame attached to the
accident.
In an article on Perosi's oratorios the
London Times remarks: The imma-
TURTLES of his style are revealed
chiefly in the inability to write really

appears more plainly in THE Raising
of Lazarus than elsewhere; and the
claim made by some of the composer s
admirers that he should be acknowl-
edged as one of the great musicians Of
view of his naive, almost childish, habit
of adopting the styles of various ILLUS
trious writer's of the past, without an
effort to reconcile their different meth
DDS of working or to utter anything
whatever that can be recognized as a
distinctive note of his own. In the
course Of his studies Perosi has ac-
quired the arts--frst, of writing in the
contrapuntal style of the sixteenth CEN
fury; secondly. of manipulating instru-
mental parts in fugal passages that re-
mind every listener Of Sebastian Bach !;
and, thirdly. Of initiating certain of the
most beautiful orchestral effects by
which Wagner Illustrated the anguish

There is a disposition in some jour-

world believe that Queen Victoria never
heard 'Lohengrin" until it was per-
formed at Windsor Castle recently by
Jean de Relszke and his companions in
honor of her eightieth birthday. If the
newspapers are right, the fact is GER
tainly singular, for "Lohengrin'' has

Comfort In the Knowledge That q
Permanent Cure Has Been
Found.

KIDNEY DISEASES HAVE BEEN ON
the increase in the past half century, and
many fatalities have been directly due
to a breaking down of these most import
ant organs. Perhaps no disease is more
deceptive than disease of the kidneys.
Symptoms present that are entirely re-
mote from the seat of trouble. and often
times the patient does not suspect kid
ney disease at all. The majority of peo-
pie imagine that kidney disease cannot
exist without pain in the back For the
benefit of such persons we beg to say
that pain inl the back occurs only in about
one-half the cases.
Symptoms Of kidney disorder are setli-
ment in urine, headache, nausea. swelling
of feet, puftiness under eyes, sunken eyes,
irritation of bladder eInaciation, sallow
complexion, nervousness, excessive thirst,
weakened hearts action.
HUDYAN is destined to reduce the ia
talities from kidney disease, for it is the
best remedy on earth for such disorders.

PAIN IN JOINTS
OR MUSCLES.
Changes Due to Poisonous Elements in
the Blood.


When the digestive and excretory or
gans fail to perform their proper func-
tons, the blood becomes contaminated
with poisonous matters that bring on suf-
ferings and disease. Inactivity of the
liver. sluggishness of the bowels. indi-
gestion and sluggishness of the kidneys
all serve to assist in the accumulation of
these foreign elements
rheumatism is the most common of the
diseases that arise as a result of the above
conditions. The character of the life fluid
the blood is changed, for foreign acids
now go to make up it's composition. These
acids give rise to pain and suffering.
F'ibrlnous deposits in the joints result.
causing stiffness of the Joints and conse-
quent enlargement.
What is necessary to correct this evil?
The question is easy to answer. A rem
edy is needed that will destroy the activ-
ity of these acid poisons and that will
eliminate them from the blood. rfuoyan
performs this work admirably. Hudyan
cures rheumatism. because it neutralizes
these poisons, it strengthens the kidneys
and stimulates them to increased activ-
ity in order that these poisons may be
filtered from the blood and discharged
from the body.

lThe following article on the vogue
OF the Coon Song, the Negro Cult and
the Stage" is from the pen of the ac-
complished Record Union CORE
spondent, Harold Francis, writing from
San Francisco
The most popular songs of the pres
ent time are undoubtedly those desig-
mated as "coon songs" There was a
time when the Irish and German dia-
iect ditties and sentimental ballads
were looked upon as the reigning ia
vorites, but they have been refegated
to the past and now one hears nothing
but the "coon" song at all times and
places. In the vaudeville theaters at
least one third of the program is de-
voted to them, and almost every farce
comedy, comic opera or burlesque COM
pany which has visited San Francisco
during the past year has managed to
sandwich in a couple of negro melo-
dies.
At the California Theater two hum
dred children are appearing in a re-
vival of a charming little extravaganza
entitled ''The Brownies and almost
every child who has a solo tells about
the .syaller gaF' and her ''honey boy
with the inevitable African razor. A
few Sundays ago I made a bicycle trip
from Alameda to San Leandro and
Haywards, where the Portuguese in
habitants were having religious festi-
walls. In each place a band played in
the public square and the greatest por-
ton Of their program consisted of coon
songs. Recently I attended a lecture
on Cuba" given by the Camera Club
at Metropolitan Temple. There appar-
emily was no loop hole for the intro
duction of a coon song but in the
middle of his discourse the speaker
came forward and announced that a
dainty little Miss Callaghan would fill
in short intermission. There was a
piano prelude, a few kicks skyward, a
liberal display of lingerie, and then the
little tot lisped through a catchy coon
song. When Sousa was last here, every
one admitted that, although the taste Of
Z the public might be questioned, they
applauded his excellent bands rendi-
ton of "a Hot Time in the Old Town
s Tonight" with about twice the enthu-
siasm and determination which they
accorded to their rendition of the over
: ture to Wagner's 'Lohengrin" or the
