Mrs. Gore, a divorced woman, who had
suffered much, went to Vienna to pursue
studies In Music, an art to which she
was greatly devoted. While in Vienna
and later in Paris she wrote frequently
to her most intimate friend in America.
The letters to this friend make up the
book They tell Of tireless toll as stu
dent Of the piano under LeschetisZki in
Vienna and MosZkowski in Paris. They
show soberness Of judgment and a ma
turity of mind such as come from years
that have not been wasted and expert
ences whose lessons have not been
ignored. They show further high con-
ception Of the art Of piano playing. Wit
ness this from her last letter, written
two days before her DEATH
Oh the great art of piano-playing is SO diff
cult that who does not study it Il do not
mean ordinary piano playing) can have no
conception of what it means! It means absolute
mastery of ones self. 1t means broad thoughts,
charity toward all mankind, firm faith in ones
own divinity; and all expressed with absolute
accuracy, and with the exquisite standings one
sees on the canvas Of the great old masters.
One with such conception and such a
goal, under masters so exacting as the
two named above, would have no time to
devote to anything aside from her art,
and her letters contain not line for the
scandal-lover. Yet, having gone far to-
ward her goal, having won communication
| oSSAAAS
a bright future opening before her, she is
shot and killed, apparently by accident,
in the apartment Of a friend whose ILL
ness seemed to demand e. friendly call.
The reader wonders at the waste of eff
fort and talent and character involved in
this. as In thousands Of other tragedies.
The lesson of work, work, work, which
Mrs. Cores letters teach, and the insight
they give into the methods of the great
est teachers Of the piano in Europe,
should serve both as a warning and as a
guide to the musical aspirant Years often
are spent by students there with prepara-
tory teachers, before they can be admit
| ted to the great masters, and In those
years even talented musicians must spend
| four and five hours day at practice and
much time also in gaining that absolute
| self mastery of which Mrs. Gore speaks
and without which the concentration nee
essary to success cannot be attained. Only
musical prodigy escapes the necessity
of all this, and we don't know that ever
| he does. -~-. --~r..--.-
Following the letters are few lessons
as given, by the teachers under whom
Mrs. Gore studied. These are for the nau.
sically inclined. The letters. however, are
full Of musical hints of value.

Hennepin county's registration of voters
beats all records at 52,4s9. In Mirneapo-
lis alone the total is 47,3o2, of whom 1858
are women, who vote on school matters

for all city officials. The actual vote al

stratagem to entrap the former.

"THE IRISH VOTE"
Boston Pilot

Irishmen had some reason for belonging
to one party in the fifties. but they have
none, and their children have none, now,
for literally belonging to, that u.s. being
owned by any organization of bosses The
time has come when an Irish-American
need apologize to nobody for voting intel
ligently and independently for a candidate
who stands for the ideal Of manhood, like
Theodore Roosevelt.

Whether Folk shall be elected or not is

The New York Tribune, a straight party
organ, asked the Pioneer Press and the
Minneapolis Tribune, the Minnesota re-
publican organs, for statements of condi-
tons in this state. The managing editor
of the Pioneer claimed the election Of
Dunn, but by a reduced majority, on ac-
count of "a fractional fight" while the
correspondent from the Tribune office in
Minneapolis sent word that the democrat is
might elect the governor. Neither dis
played very much confidence in Dunn s
chances, when their opinions were given
for publication as far away as New York.

We hear of threats being made against
Judge Harrison by friends of Dr. Anaes,
because he tried DR.. Ames and because
he favored another trial after the second
disagreement, in the hope that an agree
ment on a verdict of innocent or guilty
might be attained and either the accused
or the community INDICATED. It happens,
as we understand it, that Judge Harrison
was sustained by the full bench in that
opinion. It ought to be sufficient simply
to state the situation to bring to Judge
Harrisons support men of all parties who
believe in effacing as far as possible the
stigma which the Anes administration
has brought upon this community. It's
up to that kind Of people in Minneapolis
and they are unquestionably in the ma
jority, to stand together. Just pass the
| word along. A fearless judge, governed
by sense of duty, is the right man in
the right place. Shall it be said of Min
| neapolis that she allowed him to be de-
feated at the polls for doing mis- duty?

Curious Solicitude.

The Pioneer Press thinks there is
not very much in that story Of John A.
johnson s devotion to his mother and
his family, and Of the heroic struggle he
made as boy to fill the place Of the
father who had deserted the family.
- Well, we cannot supply to the Pioneer
appreciation Of manliness, courage, in
dustry, honesty and tilial duty where it
seems to be lacking. That is quality
which is Unborn and is rarely an &C
quired taste. If the Pioneer hash It got
it, it is deficient in most desirable
quality.
We notice, however, in a long edito-
rial, written for the purpose Of robbing
Mr.. johnson Of the good opinion which
his extraordinary record entities him to,
no criticism or disapprobation expressed
of that low-born and contemplate plan
of attack which sought by means Of mis-
representation to make him appear an
undutiful sen. The Pioneer Press ap-
pears to be more concerned lest he
should get more credit than he is en-
titled to than it is to go on record
against that kind Of politics.

A MORO LOVE SONG.

MORO LOVE SONd.
Shadows dream along Lapak-
SLASH, pearl of all the isles!
Soon shall come the proa back
OF one who hungers for thy smiles,
Sailing up the weary miles.
,Scarlet-hued his sail shall shine
Scarlet-hued and fringed with black,
As you wove it, line and line,
Long ago on far Lapak
SLASH, sweet heart Of PEARL
From Lapak too long he bides-
Green Lapak, whose waters whirl
Thru the Strait of whispering Tides.
Ere the rice the hill slope hides,
Madly shall the conchhorns play,
Signaling the boats that furl
All their streamers in the bay
Loves call for thee, O heart of pearl!
