other and both were wrong. DIR. Dvorak took
no melodies from either our black men or our

characteristics of slave music. and also its spirit
and he did let the emotions inspired by Indian
life color his fancy. But he did not borrow mel

music designed to smack OF his native Bohemia.

II was a fact, patent to all persons familiar
that opportunities TO exploit DIR Strauss as
conductor OF his own works could be found only
IN the cities which maintain permanent or
chestral concerts, viz, New-York. Boston. I.tila-
dephia, Pittsburg. Chicago and Cincinnati In
New-York the Philharmonic Society had en-
gagged him in the group of foreign con-
ductors that stood at the head of the orchestra
last season; besides this. the festival concerts
already mentioned had been arranged. In the
other cities his coming appealed only to the
sentiment felt toward him as a composer
by the conductors. for In no case was Il
even remotely probable that his engagement
would be financially profitable The simple rea-
son of this was that the fee demanded for his
services was. beyond all precedent excessive
! Nevertheless, he engaged in all the cities
mentioned except Boston. There to see him at
the head Of the orchestra at one afternoon and
one afternoon and one evening concert would
have cost Mr. Eigginson al least 81 600 more
than ne could have recovered from the sale of all
the seats not subscribed for. DR. Strauss went
TO Boston on sort Of half punitive half ex-
ploitatory expedition with the Philadelphia or
chestra. sharing the conductors desk at two
concerts with Fritz Scheel, the regular con-
drctor OF the Philadelphia organization. The
concerts were received with much favor by the
Boston public. After the subscription sea son
was over the committee of the pension fund of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra asked DR..
Strauss TO conduct concert for the benefit OF
that fund. His reply was to the effect that
ordinarily he would be glad TO conduct such a
concert without pay, but in view of the treat
ment which he had received at the hands of the
orchestra he would conduct the concert only On
condition that he receive his regulation fee of
81 600 Eventually a compromise was erfec.ed
on a basis OF per cent of the receipts The
concert was successful. and yielded DR.. Strauss

DR.. Strauss came to the United States under
the auspices Of eminent firm Of pianoforte
manufacturers, who undertook the concerts
which were given in Carnegie Hall under the
name Of a Richard Strauss Festival The out
come Of that venture, no matter what the su-
perfcial observer may have thought. was the
most lamentable failure in the history OF high
class musical enterprises for years. Neverthe-
less, encouraged by the interest exhibited at
the last concert Of the Philharmonic Society.
at which DR.. Strauss conducted some other
music than his own, it was agreed to give
farewell Strauss concert on the eve Of
the composers departure for Europe at which
the symphonic Domestica" should be repeated
simultaneously with intelligence Of this concert

A remarkable story came out Of Victoria this
week. to the effect that William B. Tascott, the
murderer of Shell. the Chicago banker. sixteen
years ago, had confessed his crime and died IN
Alaska The story gives much detail and fits
In with the detectives theory that Tascott es-
capped 10 the Far North. As $4,000 reward
was offered for the arrest of Tascott. many de-
tectives took up the search, some going as far
as the Upper Yukon region IN their search
What seems to discredit this latest story is that
It represents the dying murderer haunted by the
fear of pursuit. whereas the real fugitive must
have known that years had changed him so that
the chance OF discovery was slender
