RIVAL
CLAIMS IN
THIRD WARD
Both Factions Declare They
Have a Sufficient Number Of
Supporters to Win Nomination

The caucus IN the Third ward this
II not the warmest. ever held In the
ward. The war between the sheahan
and Mccarthy forces is being wased

Supreme confidence exists in both
camps. each faction being certain OF be-
ing the chosen one when the votes are
counted.
Mr.. Sheahan was about town this
morning looking as pleasant as June
day, and when taken TO task for being
out OF harness on such a day said his
work was all done and that there was
no doubt OF his nomination. He said that
there would not be such lot of fun at
the caucus as was generally thought for
the result was already assured and the
fun would be all on one side.
The alderman thought he would re-
ceive about 400 votes in the caucus. but
when II Is remembered that the biggest
caucus vote ever polled in the ward was
less than 600 the claims OF Mr.. Sheahan
are thought to be rather strong.
Former Alderman McCarthy's friends
and the ward committee have done some
tall hustling during the past week and
claim To have secured promises OF the
support OF a large majority OF the tax
payers OF the ward.
In previous contests Mr.. Mccarthy has
proven himself very capable vote get
ter and at the close OF the polls his
friends say II will be very clearly shown
that he IS still in the ring.
Some wagers Were mads In the ward
early In the week. with no takers, that
Mr.. Mccarthy would win out by 80 to rs
majority.

GRlEG'S GENIUS
Described by the Well-known Critic,

D. G. Mason. who is recognized as an
authority on all matters in the realm Of
music, has In a late number Of The Out

Edward GrIeg, the Norwegian composer,
OF whom his people are so proud. While
admitting Grieg's limitations as COM
poser, Mr.. Mason speaks most kindly and
even enthusiastically Of the formers mu-
sic. He says:
1T were a hopeless as we'll as useless
task to describe in words the qualities Of
these compositions. There is little that
can be pertinently or Serviceably said of
his music. One may point out, however.
its persstently lyrical character. 1t IS
like the poetry Of Mr.. Henley in it's exclu :.

emotions of the subtlest, most elusive sort.
1t is intimate. suggestive, intangible. 1t

or summons up the ARREST visions of the

Again, it's finesse is striking. The phrases
are polished like gems. the melodies charm

delightfully."- frank and straightforward;
there Is no Numbering or uncertainty,

as candid as childhood. 1t is hard to keep
ones feet still through some of the Nor

pieces rhythm Is ideaized, it is always
definite and clear, so that they are the
opposite pole from all that formless senti-
mentally which abandons accent in order
to wall. Again, one must notice the Curl

words mean anything-yes, Just as the
orange IS sweet, acid and, aromatic. One
who would feel the quality of these works
must hear them. .r'- r.. ',-
ION the other hand Grieg is never large
or heroic; he never wears the buskin. He
has neither the depth of passion nor the
intellectual grasp needed to make music
in the grand style. Probably of all his
pecuiarities the most significant is the
shortness of his phrases and his manner
Of repeating them almost literally, dis
placed a little in pitch but not otherwise
altered
