FIFTY YEARS A SINGER.
Charles SantIey Relates Some Inter-
 esting Experiences.

From the London Chronicle. One of the events of the season will be a great concert under royal patronage at the Albert Hall next May, which Lord I<ilmorey is organizing in celebration of the stage jubilee of the veteran bari tone, MT. Charles Santley. Though it was so long ago as 1857 that MT. 5antley then young man of 23. made his first appearance as profe5- sional singer at the Crystal Palace, the popular singer is still the picture of health and good spirits. He laughs to scorn the notion of retirement. q am," he said yesterday to Daily Chronicle representative, "still as vigor- GUS as I was thirty years ago.

 In the course of the ensuing conversa- tion Mir. Santley referred to the old days of her majesty's. the Haymarket, and the Gayety, at which houses he sang in opera.

SEARCH FOR MATERIAL

Boston.-It's a far call from Money Musk in the village town hall or on the harn floor or from "Wlhistling Rufus, hhe One-Man Band,n scraping the fiddle as if the angels were a-picking' at the gAlabama shake-down to playing the vo- nin in the modern orchestra. It's a serious matter, this of getting into the musical game under a great leaders coaching. Dver the whole group of instrumentalists, lien first violins, ten second violins, six violas, six violincellos and various groups of contrabasses, flutes, oboes, clarionets, bassoons, French horns, trombones. trum- pets and bass drums, leans the virtuoso eonductor, ooaXing first one portion, then another, of the great human instrument which he plays.
 The violin player in such an orchestra is being taught in every selection from Mozart and Beethoven to Berlioz, Strauss or Cesar Franck, not only to get the greatest possible effect from his own i'm strument. but to make it harmonize per feotly with practically every other form Of musical instrument that is in good use. Withal, the work, if not as jolly as a Saturday night dance, is at least as stirring, and, in the midst of the clamor- ous chords of one of Haydn's symphonies, or the jolly overture to Nicolai's Merry Wives of Windsor" the young violinist, swept into the current of sound volume is certainly conscious that. in the lam gIage of the day, he Is going some."
 And this is, of course, the finishing touch Of the violin players training Nothing shows the contrast between the old and the new methods of teaching the most artistic of musical instruments more than 1la inn art 1ai1 in cffaI al ucation upon training in the full orches- tra. Still in many parts of the land the good old sctence of fiddling is transferred from father to son, from teacher to pupil, without much science but with abundant swing and dash.
 Many Study Violin.
 That hundreds of thousands of young Americans should be studying the violin this winter is nothing strange. From early days the fiddle has been the most distinctly popular of musical instruments in America; and even after the plano came to torment the leisure hours of small boys and girls it still remained, Hguratively as well as literally, closest of all instruments to the great heart of the common people, The taste for the fiddle came in along with colonial arch lecture and furniture, for it was one of the recognized accomplishments in the old days when Italy represented the sum and substance of culture. Was not the swell instrument of artistic Italy, de- yeloped at Bresia and Ceremonial in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and played upon at some what later date by the immortal Paganini? All through CO., lonial and early national days, wherever the severity of the Puritanical discipline was a little relaxed, there were found men who, like Tom Hood, frequently

 The fiddle entered into early American literature and history. There is a story of an immensely valuable violin, made by Steiner of the Tyrol, a successor of the great Stradivarius, in return for which l500 acres of land were given up by a back woodsman of Western Pennsylvania. The land which he exchanged. not indeed for d song but for a tune, would, if held in the family, have enriched his descendants beyond the dreams of ava rice; it is now the site of the city of PittsburP

Dubois Will Lecture

During the campaign Senator
Dubois made a strong play for
support on the strength of alleged
friendly relations between him self
and President Roosevelt. He
frequently declared that he was
Just as good a republican as Hey
burn, Borah or Gooding, because
he supported Rooseyelt's policies,
even to the extent of boosting for
forest reserves, when the Idaho
republican leaders opposed that
policy. Dubois took great pains to
have his relations with the presi-
dent exploited in such papers as
the Spokesman-Review, with the
object of creating the impression
that the president desired his
return to the senate and that the
president would give him an i'm
portant appointment anyway, if he
should be defeated.
But conditions have changed.
Roosevelt exposed the little game
when he sent Taft to Idaho to
emphasize the fact that the admir-
istration desired a republican vic
tory and Dubois has been sour
ever since and has been saying a
lot of foolish stuff against the
president even to the extent OF
accusing the president of being in
league with the Mormon church.
upholding polygamy and all. II
is plain that Dubois sees the hand
writing on the wall-there is nc
soft snap for him at the hands Of
President Roosevelt. A Washing
ton dispatch to the Spokesman
