Women and Music.
From the Providence Journal.


There are carping critics-masculine, of
course-who point to the failure Of women
in certain fields of art evidence that they
do not constitute, as Mrs. Grand and others
would have us believe tire superior sex
Men may be ethically and morally deba sed,
but in poetry. music. painting, sculpture,
they have manifested a supreme genius
which the other sex does not possess. OF
course, there are various explanations of
fact that can hardly be disputed. One is
that women have not had the chance that
men have had, and that in the coming
centuries they will Guido all that men have
done in the past. But this argument in
wolves a pure assumption. Besides. it re-
mains to be demonstrated that genius de-
~-Sps with exact ratio with opportunity.
br-< with few advantages have risen to the
heights of achievement; and in the arts.
especially, competition is free. The women
who have become great artists have not
usually been conscious OF the limitations
OF sex. There are women painters whose
place Is not very far below the highest,
though their number is scanty; and in
poetry, too they have accomplished at least
something even II no woman poet can be
ranked with Shakespeare or Goethe or
Dante. 1t seems to be in music chiefly
that they are dumb. The list of a thousand
women composers which an industrious
German has compiled is not convincing
One could easily make up list of thou
sand men composers of whom only few
had heard. The point is that of these wo-
men not more than a dozen can fairly be
called eminent, and of the dozen none has
the genius of Wagner Bach and Beethoven
of Gounod. Schubert and Verdi.

MILLIONS EXPENDED.
Progress Made on the ST. Louis Exposi
ton.

President Thomas Fl. Carter of the ma
tional commission of the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition has submitted to the Presi-
dent of the United States a most compre-
hensive statement showing the receipts and
disbursements of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Company from date of incor-
Yoratton to September 80, 1905 tine progress
made by the various departments of the eX-
position embodying sucCfnctly d general
outline of the work accomplished and in
contemplation, as a result of the eEpendi-
lure of the S15,000o00 contributed by the
United States government, the city of st.
Louis and the exposition company in equal
proportions.
The total expenditures are S14 40, los. 10.
With S15000,000 the managers have en-
1eavored to get together a collection of
buildings and exhibits that will cost $50
DOOON.
Twelve great exhibit palaces, the smallest
covering fl acres, form the nucleus of the
exposition Around these buildings cluster
he United States government building, the
state, foreign and conces sion buildings, and
such smaller pseudo exhibit structures as
those which form the model city street, the
refrigeratng arts building, the medal
pavilion and stock barns and the admin
istration group of permanent buildings.
These twelve palaces VIII cost, when COM
pleted, exclusive of any interior installa-
ton work for exhibit booths, $3,215,lf23}.
This Is the amount OF the CONTRACT
lions assumed by the exposition company
for these buildings.
Besides the exhibit palaces built of wood
surfaced with staff, eleven permanent red
granite. Tudor gothic structures. the prop
erty of Washington University. recently
erected for college purposes, have been
leased by the exposition company and are
now in it's service.
The cost OF exploiting the foreign field
to date approximates quarter of q million
Of dollars and the splendid results achieved
have in every way warranted and confirm
ed the wisdom of that expenditure.
Fifty states, territories and possessions
have taken the necessary steps to insure
their participation in the exposition. Every
state and territory west of the Mss ssippt
river has made provis on for the presenta-
ton of an exhibit of it's resources and prod
ucts.
The government display is the greatest
provided for an exposition. The gov
eminent appropriated 81, 4S3, 600, besides the
100000 for the exposition's general fund
No special classification in exhibits 8
made for woman's work. and no building,
as at Chicago. but in all the manifold RAM
fications of the exposition work woman
participates.
Up to September 10 there had been spent
for Insurance on the bu ldings of the ex
position and their contents the sum of
1871 ,26I 30.
Before the exposition opens It's gates
there VIII have been placed on its buildings
over 81 100000 worth of insurance in over
$50 companies, with offices in all parts of
the world.

Personnel of Commission.

Commissioner Richards, who will be

one OF the best equipped men in the coun-

land laws. He is one of the western pic.
neers, and has had wide experience as an
official of the government in the execution
and administration of the land laws AS
surveyor general of the land Office for Wv
omlng and as state surveyor and land Off
Ger Doth IN wyoming, Colorado and Cali
forn1a, as governor of Wyoming and as as
sistant commissioner and finally commits
sioner of the general land office, his expe-
rience is such that he cannot but be one Of
the most valuable men in the country for
the position. Gov. Richards is at present
In California, attending at the bedside of
his sick daughter. 1t is not probable that
he VIII be able to come east until after the
first of January.
Mr.. F. H. Newell, the second member of
the commission, has given many years to
the study and development of the irriga-
ton problem, ard has been particularly in
terested in the development and cultiva-
ton of the vast tracts OF arid lands in the
western country. His familiarity with the
conditions as they exist and of the land
laws is unquestioned, and his ability as an
engineer makes him aid OF more than
ordinary value to his associates on the
board.
Prof Pinchot, chief of the bureau of for
estry of the Department of Agriculture, is
a national authority on timber and timber
lands. He has been an invaluable aid to
the officers of the land Office in the settle
ment of questions arising in the timber
lands, and is familiar with all the land
laws and their effect.
