DUR POPULAR NEGRO MUSIC.
Heard Everywhere in This Country
Excepting I'm the ChuFches-It
Pleased Prince Henry.

Prince Henry expressed curiosity
about our negro music almost as soon
as he arrived-it was naturally one Of
the things that would impress him in
reading about us. When atlast he was
able TO hear this music his favorable
Impressions were confirmed. He was
most cordial with the singers-we be-
lieve that they were from Fisk univer-
sity. He shook hands with all of
Them, said that he hoped that the
music of all their songs had been writ
.en out, as it was eminently worthy Of
preservation, and begged for such
.opies as they were able to furnish TO
him, says the Hartford Courant.
We ourselves all know that this IA
Forable opinion is fully deserved.
Negro music is not a curiosity, like
some of the monotonous and melan-
holy chants Of the east. It IS not
Wild yawp, such as our English friends
Tong expected of us in poetry, in order
10 secure a fresh and distinctive
american note. Negro music is
musical, and possesses the capacity 70
.xpress all the human emotions. As
matter Of fact, the people who have
made this music are rarely dominating
br defiant or triumphant, and Ohese
notes are seldom heard in their songs,
except as an expression Of religious
hope or confidence. But negro music
often pain itself; pain softened by
patience; suffering with all the misery
eft out and all the melody left in, and
gain it is sheer, bubbling Joy in exist
snce, without conscience, without past
or future, without care or suffering,
lust good nature saturated full Of hope
md happiness. Between these two ex-
remes negro music touches human
emotion at every point, and with pre-
Use expression. It's great quality
he quality that is irresistible in fits
ppeal-is probably its hearty SINGER
ty. The Italians speak of the tear in
he voice as the ultimate height
cached by the trained human voice,
md Of course they write music Of this
pure emotional quality; but the negro
makes music so pathetic and tender
nd sincere that II well-nigh places the
ear in the voice Of itself, and at any
ate often brings the tear to the eye.
Negro music is not in any way char
cteristie of the United States. II Is
OF masculine; IL is notpushing; it is
OF tumultuous. There is almost al
Ways running through it a soft and
yentle appeal. But this country alone
as it; It is the contribution of our
aegro people to our pleasures and to
,ur gentler feelings. Il must be ad-
hitted that the American people have
aiken the gift in good part. Negro
music is heard everywhere in this
ountry, unless II be in our churches.
Dur theaters are full Of it, in the or
,hestra and on the stage, and so are
5ur drawing-rooms It is the one
onstant note in all our everyday
musical life. That it should have
,leased Prince Henry is not at all
trange. for II is really music, and Of
Inc quality.

CORONADO IN DICKINSON.
Student Finds Reminders Of Span
isrds' Visit to This County.


George W. Martin, secretary Of the
State Historical association, speaking
about the research work being done
in Kansas by archaeologists, says
The line Of Coronado's march in
l54l and the location Of the province
Of Quivira are Of increasing interest.
The number Of archaeologists and ex.
plorers studying the matter enlarges
as time passes; they are industrious
and persistent, and it seems with
each year that the results Of their
labors are more definite in establish
ing Kansas as the location Of the
mysterious country to the north
from whence came only stories OF
gold, silver and great cities. A ma
jority Of those who have investigated
and written upon this first exPlora'
tion Of the interior OF the continent
agree that Kansas was visited by
Coronado, but there are those who
are oeing definite and are giving
much local zest to the matter. Mr.
j. V. Brewer, an eminent archaeolo.
gist, explorer and author, has pub
lished two volumes Of surprising
interest. 'Quivira' and 'Harahey,' in
which he locates the villages OF
Quivira, visited by Coronado, along
south side OF the Kansas and Smoky
Hill rivers, from Mill creek, in
Wabaunsee, to to Lyon creek, in
Dickinson, principally. He locates
villages as follows; In Pottawatomie
county, eleven; Wabaunsee, ten;
Riley, eleven; Geary, twenty; Dickin-
son, four; Marion, one; Mcpherson,
six; Rice, one; Barton, one. Mr..
Brewer has visited this region once
and twice a year, beginning with
1896. He has gathered thousands Of
the stone implements on the sites
represented by him, after the most
patient investigation, and he has en-
listed the greatest interest among
the people in the localities named"
