Occasionally a pianist comes to America
without flourish of trumpets or beating or
drums. He comes, is heard, and conquers
by the display Of art and temperament. Such
a pianist is Harold Bauer. He made his
appearance last season in the large cities
along the Atlantic coast, and before the end
of the season was the musical sensation.
The committee In charge Of the Gunnar
Wennerberg memorial concert, which is to be
given in the Swedish Tabernacle Nov. 1S,
has secured the services Of Nine. Anna Smith
Behrens Nine. Behrens very seldom appears
in public, but she is SO thoroughly in favor
of honoring the memory of Gunnar Wenner-
berg and also interested in the fact that the
proceeds from this concert will be donated
to a charitable purpose, that she has con-
sented to sing. She will sing scene and
aria from Hamlet by Amb Thomas. There
is a great demand for tickets for the concert
and the committee in charge feels that 1t will
be one Of the leading affairs Of the musical
season.
The musicale Of the Schubert Club this week
was given by Mrs. L. NJ. Park of Minneapolis
and Miss Gertrude Hilton Of Chicago, and the
ST. Paul Dispatch accorded the artistic hon
ors Of the occasion to Mrs. Park who, it said,
"has a contralto voice Of warm and passionate
quality. Its texture is like velvet, and this
is preserved in the highest tones. There is,
too, individuality in Mrs. Parks style Of de-
livery. Behind the fine and shimmering voice
there is personality-its sweetness and broad
sympathy illuminating her work. Still the
voice is not a large one and the singer s
field is, it is evident. limited to the inter
probation Of heart-touchlng poems in song.
This is, however, field to be no more de-

We seem happy and contended in
our boasting of our advanced civil
ization, and look back with scorn ON
our ancestors, for burning witches,
yet we insist that prominent Chinese
shall commit suicide, because of their
participation in the boxer move
ment. This seems to be strange logic,
when reason is applied. Those living
in the next century will not burn
witches. nor ask men to commit
suicide
1t may be said that we do not de-
mand that Cinnamon shall commit self
murder, true, yet we demand that
these men shall be executed and ac-
cording to Chinese law they can
choose their mode of execution, which
has always been suicide on the part of
high officials. The Christian religion
teaches that it is wrong for man to
distroy his own life, are we trying
to convert this nation to believe the
christian religion?
If so, then why shall the civilized
world permit these men to destroy
their lives, much less insist on China
compelling her subjects to do that
which we believe to be wrong. The
Chinese. minister Mr.. Wu may yet
resign his office and become the great
apostle TO the Philistines of the
twentieth century.
