THE PAoEREwskI FUND FRAUD.

A Tribune reporter sought Mr. Krehbel, one Of
tbe iudges in the late competition for the prizes OF
the Paderewski fund for American musical COM
nosers last night and found him at the Metro
noutan Opera House where a performance or
"T ohengrfn' was in progress Asked whether or
not there any new developments IN the case
~ the attempted fraud against the fund by the
submission of an unfamiliar overture composed by
Hector RerIioz as an original work, Mr.. Krehbiel
repIed: 'No-at least, nothing important except
possibIy to those who may have thought that the
identification OF Mr.. John Rice, jr.. was not COM
nIete in the accounts of the fraud printed in last
SUNDAYS newspapers. A feeble attempt was made
b,, Mr. Rice himself and by the Editor of The
Musical Courier to cast doubt on the authorship
of the fraud Nobody at all familiar with musical
affairs in New-York was likely to be deceived by
their statements; neither will anybody waste much
thought upon Mr.. Rice. jr Still If you think 1t
interesting you may say that the postmaster Of
Hudson Heights. who says he has known Mr Rice
for six years. also has said that the holder Oh
box No II in his office is John Rice, jr-, and an
enploye of The Musical Courier He tried to
inform the newspapers of that fact last Saturday
night bv telephone, but missed connection
And the trustees of the Paderewskl Iund!
Il have not heard from them since the exposure
of the fraud So far as 1 can speak for the judges
they are longer interested IN the case IN the
slang of the street it is up to the trustees to
defend the integrity of their fund and up to the
postal authorities to find out to what uses clerk
in the subscription department of The MusicaI
Courier is putting the United States postohlce
If it is all joke. 1t has turned against the would

who cheerfuly tells what he would have done
under similar circumstances and is not able to see
that there is nothing particularly humorous IN Il

Long Island Methodist Preachers

Criticism Of the actions and methods used by the
Board of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church was heard at the Long Island Methodist
Preachers Meeting. held in Association Hall,
Brooklyn, yesterday. The unit rule, which has
been adopted by the board denounced a
blow at liberty and a device used by the political
boss.
The discussion arose from a consideration Of Il
paper on the Higher Criticism, which led 10 n
consideration of the action of the Board of
Bishops in refusing confirm Professor II. G.
Mitchell, of tine Theological School of Boston Uni
versiy for reappointment because his ideas on the
higher criticism did meet the approval of some
of the bishops
The Rev. DR.. F. j. Mcconnell pastor of ehe New
York Avenue Church. declared that, in his opin-
ion, the action of the bishops was a mistake and
said that two of three young graduates OF
theological schools, who had written to him recent
ly. had been seriously considering leaving the de-
nomination. Presiding Elder c. S. Wing spoke
along the same lines.

SAMUEL A. sALDwiN's MUSIC PLAYED.

The friends of Samuel A. Baldwin, the organist
OF Trinity Church, Brooklyn, had opportunity to
study his development composer last night
at an orchestral concert conducted by himself In
the hall of the Long Island Historical Society II
was said to be the first presentation of his works
with a full orchestra The programme in point OF
time included composition dated 1872, the inter
mezzo from THE Triumph of Love-" and one dated
1906 a suite entitled "a Summer Idyl," There were
also three songs dated 1906. The intermediate
period was illustrated by ambitious symphony
Gn c 1ninor) dated 1855 go, and intended to give
expression the struggle between the dual natures
of man, rising into the triumphant victory OF the
hottest and Hottest emotions.
1t was the impression last night, from this COM
narrative study of Mr.. Baldwin's work. that ms
sensuors appeal is becoming more direct more
marked more lovely. His compositions were put
into con1parison not only with each other but with
the No 3 Ienore overture, and Mrs. Jennie Hall
Euckhout who sang his songs, sang also an aria
from a'T'he Queen of Sheba-" One of his songs IS
a setting of Richard Hovey's charming lyric. MY
Love and l." The audience, which quite filled the
hall-and larger hall would have alded the music
was enthusiastic in its applause

RICHARD earle AGAIN.
New-York Theatre.

Richard earle presented himself at the New
York Theatre last night. in musical comedy, of
which he IS the most recent author, called The
Mayor of Toxic In its scenes and outline this
musical play is but repetition of countless others,
from The Mikado" TO ''Fantana," where the chorus
haYe worn kimonos and trotted on their toes. The
music. by w. F. Peters is of no consequence, and
If il would be murdered in the rendering. Yet,
despite. THE Mayor of Toxic is amusing,
times hilarious entertainment. Thanks in part
to MIR. Carrie, who impersonates the impresario of
stranded theatrical troupe but still act
ress named Emma Janvier, who impersonates the
wardrobe mistress of this troupe, the play is re-
deemed from dulness and will probably win pop
ularty Miss Janvier sprang into immediate at
tention last night She during the entire play
a most ludcrousIy lugubrious air, her face repre-
scented the very hlarty of disgust and for one
SECOND did she relax fun on the stage no laugh
ter from the audience, shock of surprise, fiat
terry nor threats, could a smile upon her lips
or disturb her mournful-mouthed disgust II is
quite worth the price of admission to see her Mr..
earle also has neat little peanut ballet which
he makes far too little of. The chief need OF
the play in fact, is neatness It is little loud,
little slack

M. M. A. GETS NEW PICTURE.
Leon Lhermittes Latest Work, Among the
Lowly," Acquired.

The trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
have just acquired, through Herman Schaus, the
last important work by Leon Lhermitte, upon
which he spent most of his time and energies in
1904. The title of the picture is Among the Low
ly," and it represents the Saviour appearing to a
group of peasants in French hut of the present
time.
George H. Story, curator of the department of
paintings of the museum, yesterday said:
Although the artist, representing the surround
ings the costumes and the human faces, has
broken all the traditions and conventionalties of
Christian art, the painting is deeply religious
one. The allegory embodies all the teachings, the
sentiments and the love of Christ toward the poor,
the sinners the unfortunates-the pariahs of the
world.
The representation of Christ among the people
coherent. The philosophy of the Christian doc
trine especially that part of it regarding the rig
of the humble to be exalted, of the sorrowful to
be consoled of the hungry to be fed. of the naked
to be clothed and of the oppressed to be emanci-
pated has found in I.herrnitte's picture an elo-
quent, convincing and glorious symbol.

THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.
Causes Which Nay PreUent Holding
of Sessions an Man.

Rome, Dec. 4.-The Foreign Office has been
informed that the delay in receiving from the
Russian government the programme to be dis
cussed at the second Hague conference is due
to the fact that the government of Switzerland
has not yet completed the revision of the
statutes of the Red Cross. This task was in
trusted to 1t by the first conference.
AS the Red Cross is to form of the lead
ing points in the programme of the forthcom-
ing conference a proposition was made that
the task Of revising the statutes be left to it.
Switzerland, however, refused to agree to this
proposition, saying that the Red Cross Bureau
at Geneva would soon have the work completed
1t is feared that this delay will make 1t i'm
possible for the conference to meet in May of
next year, especially as it is already known
that Great Britain and Germany will each have
something to say regarding the subjects to be
discussed before the conference meets.

was Miss Metcalfes recital. Mr. Pascal played
very much like young whose instincts. or

made up a large part Of his programme. Every

was occasion for sympathy with Nine Nordica the

Miss Metca1fe sang opera airs by GIuck. Hasse.

she is devoting herself. Because of her vocal
earnestness her skill and her exquisite diction,

has successfully challenged the critical Judgment

yesterday to note a tendency toward affectation
and sentimentality in her singing OF the German
songs and of want OF repose in her italian airs

readings, though her mastery of the technics OF

UNANIMOUS FOR pARsoNs"-oLcoTT.

washington. Dec. AFTER interview with the
President to-day Representative Olcott, of New
York who withdrew few days ago from the con-
test for the presidency of the Republican commit
tee Of New-York County, expressed the belief that
Representative Herbert Parsons would be elected
president of the committee.
81 think" said Mr. Olcott. that Mr. Parsons
will be chosen unanimously president of the
committee. So far l know there is objection
at all to him. My Judgment is that his selection
will be quite satisfactory to the President. who
has manifested a broad interest in the question
without expressing himself in favor of any par
ticIlar man.
