he will play with the Boston Symphony orchestra
under the direction Of Mr.. William Gericke early
in November. Much has been said ana written
about this concerto, but no pianist has ever at
tempted its Interpretation The concerto was
written in 1898, to compete for a prize that had
been offered by the firm of Besendorfer for a
concerto in memory OF Hans Bulow; Dehnan-
vi was of the many competitors, and the
judges. Epstein, Gericke, Gruenfeld Leschetitsky
and Rosentha, decreed that his was the best
concerto offered. He later played this work be-
fore a number OF connoisseurs of Berlin and
Vienna.
Fritz Kreislcr, who will be the most promi-
nent violinist before the American public this
season, displayed wonderful presence of mind
during a concert in Berlin. Whilst playing the
famous Pagananini concerto, the electric lights
suddenly went out, and the concert room which
was crowded, was left in total darkness. Kreis-
lcr however, went on playing quietly as if moth.
ing had happened thus preventing panic
amongst the audience. When the hall was
again lit up, Kreisler received a tremendous ova-
tion for his composure.

Franklin, Pa, Sept. 21.-A pretty
little romance was enacted at Oil City
Yesterday, when David r.. Hosterman.

four years ago Miss Herpst was a
bright young school girl, living at

his future ahead Of him and his for-
tune to make.
The young couple became engaged,

separated and went their ways. Miss
Herpst remained true to her first and
only love, while the young school
teacher sought sOlace for a wounded
heart in the pursuit of business. He
married, but death came few years
ago and left him a widOwer.
A year ago Mr.. Hosterman wrote to
Postmaster McKim, at Oil City, in
quiring about the Herpst family, and
the letter was turned over to Miss
Herpst, who replied to 1t, When Mr..
Hosterman learned that his former
love had never married he lost no time
in coming to Oil City, where the old
affection was renewed, His proposal
WAS accented.

indeed, but have such large circle of friends

Review for September says: ''The London

little; they not being in the class Of drawing
cards Rosenthal and Paderewsh both played
before immense audiences, but they received their

that part of the societys deficit this year is due

We are both saddened and amused
when we read accounts like the fore
going. We do not often stop long
enough to realize what life these
hardy pioneers led away out here in
these mountains. We can not real
ize the stern reality, the changeIess
monotony, the actual stupidity OF a
life of hardship away from other
human beings, except the ileeting
shadows Of the original owners of the
forests on whose grounl the stranger
had encroached. We can not realize
what it would be to listen for the
stcalthy step Of the wild things Of the
forest, beasts and savages, around
our homes and the continual haunt
ing fear of death, quick and horrible.
Remembering these things, we can
honor our sturdy ancestors who trans
formed the trackless forests into smil-
ing farms and smoky towns, and re-
placed the cold CLEAN of moonlight on
unbroken snow by the fash Of electric
ity on paved streets aud sidewalks
