MUSICAL PROGRESS
IN BIRMINGHAM
by WILLIAM RYAN

Birmingham is known throughout the
length and breadth of the land as a mighty
iron centre, but 1t would be difficult to
make people at a distance believe that a
city so new and so busy would have any
atmosphere of culture, especially of musical
culture. That the society here Is refined
and intellectual and that interest in music
is strongly In evidence, are facts, however,
which are soon impressed upon the strang-
er who comes to live In this community.
I had not been located in Birmingham
long when learned that here the musical
art was fostered; that here good music was
studied and appreciated and that this city
was indeed musically, as well as industri-
ally, ahead of every city of its size in the
United States with which I was acquainted
A glance at the programs of church music,
published In the papers. first attracted my
attention. And afterward, when 1t was my
privilege to hear some of the choirs, the
Messiah" at Seals hall; Judas Mac
cabeus," at Temple Emanuel; the Treble
Clef club, ana piano-forte recitals, and
mingle with music lovers and observe their
enthusiasm; and later to attend the rehear-
sails of the festival chorus-a really great

could but marvel at the progress that
music was making. do not mean to say
that musical conditions in Birmingham are
ideal. They are not. Ideal is a high word.
Some time must elapse before the highest
things in this art, always ideal, can be at
tanned. Even time is required before the
musical people can be expected to become
discriminating; for in the very matter of
discrimination, whether it be concerning
literature, painting, or music experience
is necessary. But 1 mean just what have
asserted-that Birmingham is ahead of
every other city of its size. 1t is in a
marked degree musical.
In this article no attempt will be made to
sketch the history of music in America
But many of us can remember when the
Importance of music was not generally con-
ceded by the majority of our best educated
men and women. Our fathers, as a rule,
did not realize that music was both a
science and an arti that as science 1t was
severely intellectual that as an art 1t was
intensely spiritual; that the works of the
master composers were subjective as well
as Overwhelmingly subjective; that they
were always educative They did not ap-
preciate this intellectual side ofNmusic at
ell. They knew that the italians, the
French and the Germans were musical, but
little did they imagine how important q
bearing German music had had upon Ger

MEN WHO REFUSED
KINGLY CROWNS

To the ordinary citizen the refusal of
even such a rulership as that of Saxe-Co-
burg seems an act of folly. 1t is quite
probable that not one man in million
would refuse the honor If 1t were offered
him, and yet there have been many men
since the time of Cromwell, who refused
his crown more through fear of others than
from any other motive. who have declined
even greater honorS than that which has
been rendered the Duke of Connaught.
Thirty-five years ago Gladstone might
have been made king of Greece, but he de-
clined to entertain the proposition. The
rulership of Greece was actually rendered
the late Lord Derby but he refused the
crown and the s25O,O0O a year that accom-
panies 1t. In 1880 Prince Leopold. the faith
err of the present king of Belgium, also re-
fused this honor, holding that the propos-
ed boundaries of the country were insult
ficient
Another crown that has been refused
more than once is that of Roumania. When
Roumania was declared a kingdom 1t was
provided that the throne should descend to
Prince Leopold, the eldest brother of the
king who was then reigning In 1880, how
ever the prince voluntarily relinquished
his right to the crown in favor of his son,
Prince Wilhelm. For eight years he re-
manned crown prince, but in 1888 he formal
ly withdrew from the succession and his
brother, the present Prince of Roumania,
became heir apparent
Years ago Prince Napoleon, nick-named
"Plon-Plon," was invited to occupy the
throne of Roumania as the king of the
country. At that time he believed that II
might be possible for him to ascend the
throne of France, so he did not heitate to
decline the Offer His dream was not to be
realized however, and the man who de-
clined one crown in the hope that he might
obtain another lost both and died in soil
tary exile.
The crown of Spain is also among those
that have been refused. Early in the pres
ent century Ferdinand VII. renowned the
throne in favor of his father, who, in his
turn, declined the crown in favor of the

great Napoleon. The people of the country
objected, however, and history tells why
the great conqueror never became the ruler
of Spain.
Lord Beaconsfield once had an opportuni-
ty to refuse a crown. although in this in
stance the emblem of royalty was not ac-
companied by a throne of a princely In
income. Years ago the idea of browning
Lord Beaconsfield originated In the brain
of Mr.. Tracy Turnerelli and he at once at
tempted to put his project into execution.
More than $1,000 people contributed and the
subscriptions amounted to a very large sum
of money.
In 1879 the work had been completed but
when Mr.. Turnerelli made the formal ten
der of the crown to his idol Lord Beacons-
field refused to accept the tribute to his
greatness, and the disappointment had
much to do in causing the death of the or
iginator of the project.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-04-16

The problem of the lady and the tiger Is
nothing to the dilemma in which the Duke
Of Connaught has been placed. BY the
death of Prince Alfred Of saxe-Coburg-
Gotha he came into direct line to that
reigning dukedom, not only being heir by
heredity but also by a special succession
act.
The dream of his life, however, has had
little Uncommon with Saxe-Coburg for 1t
has been his ambition to become command
er-in-chief of the British army. OF course
1t is impossible for him to hold both posi-
lions, and the problem that has troubled
him has been whether to accept the duke
dom or to wait for his opportunity to be-
come commander-in-chief, an honor which,
as the third son of the queen he might yet
realize.
When the duke visited this country many
years ago he was much liked by those who
met him, but he has never been very popu-
lar In England. The reason for this is that
he has never done anything to distinguish
himself and the English people like to OBJ
serve some traits of individuality in their
royal princes, even If this individuality
sometimes chances to run in channels that
are not entirely commendable.
The position of major general in the
army, which is held by the duke, came to
him by right as the son of the queen, and
not by any military achievements, but this,
his friends claim, is the fault of his mother.
They insist that the duke Is naturally a
very brave man, and that would long ago
have made name for himself in the pro-
fession of arms If the queen had not pre-
vented him from going to war Those who
do not know this are inclined to hold 1t
against him, and while they generally re-
spect him as a conscientious man, they do
not admire him greatly

burg, however, will convey the succession
to the son of the duke, Prince Arthur, who
Is now a student at Elton. While but 16
years of age the young prince has already
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-04-16

developed traits of character that have
made him very popular among his COM
oanions To him the dukedom opens ex-
aremely pleasant prospects. especially If he
can win the esteem of the masterful young
ut of Germany.
As he will go to Berlin to complete his
education, in order that he may come fully
go touch with the interests of the people
sver whom he will reign, he will have am
'.e opportunity to make friends with the
: aiser, and those who kpow the boy be-
isee that he would have less trouble as
-he ruler of Saxe-Coburg than would his
father, the latter not being on particularly
good terms with his capracious nephew. 1t
IS quite possible that this may have been
one reason why the duke hesitated to ae-
cept the succession. To be an Independent
English prince of the blood royal is one
thing. To be the ruler of a petty German
dukedom, always under the thumb of the
emperor Is quite another.

BEST HOTEL
In Texas Is Conducted by Seven Di-

In Texas Is Conducted by Seven Di-
vorced Women.
Chanute (Kan.) Correspondence Chi
cago Record: They say that the best
hotel in Texas is to be found at Bel
ton, a town on the Santa Fe road. and
1t is kept by seven sanctified sisters"
as the proprietors are popularity called.
Several years g a woman in that
place and her husband quarreled over
the best way of expounding the script
ures to a Sunday school class, and were
so stubborn that they separated and
were finally divorced. This family on
~troversy was taken up by the town,
which was soon distinctly divided be-
tween the adherents OF the husband
and the adherents of the wife. The re-
suit was a large crop of divorces, and
seven ~husbandless women, including
the original cause OF the commotion.
joined together and rented the town
hotel. One of them did the cooking,
another was parlor maid, a third made
up the beds, and SO they divided the
work among them and ran the estab-
lishment upon the cooperative plan.
They would not employ a man about
the place, although the most Of their
patrons were men, of course People
say that women travellers preferred to
stop elsewhere. and that would be a
woman's way. Or9 OF the seven
sanctified sisters used to drive a big
carry-all down to the railway station
three or four times a day to meet the
trains, but she let the regular transfer
company handle the baggage. The
hotel %prospered from the beginning.
and there was no reason why it should
not, for everything vas neat and home
like and the cooking was the best In
Texas, which is not saying much, per-
haps, but is a good reason why it was
appreciated. Every Sunday 1t was
crowded. The drummers used to swarm
there from all the northern-central
part Of the state, and every passenger
on the Santa Fe trains was an adyer-
Using agent. The 'sanctified sisters"
made money, as they deserved to do;
they enlarged their establishment and
started a big laundry in connection
with il, where the drummers left their
soiled clothes to be done up while they
were out during the week. Then the
sisters" bought a hotel at Waco, and
started a laundry there, with equal
success, and now they are talking OF
starting n in New York.
