Italy and Spain recently completed
by Mr.. Steinert, who several
years ago donated to Yale University
collection of ancient musical in
struments cited by the university as
among its treasures. Mr.. Steinert's
more recent acquisitions are even
more ancient, interesting and valua-
BILE, but they have not yet been placed
on public exhibition. The rarest
and most interesting of all keyboard
instruments is the clavicytherium. 1t
is an upright harpsichord or spinet
An instrument of that kind was men,
toned in the inventory of musical in
struments owned by Henry VIII, who
was born in 1491. Another instru-
ment in the collection, probably made
at the end of the fifteenth or the be-
ginning of the sixteenth century, and
having only two octaves, is remarka-
BILE for its beautiful shape and ar
tistic painting. 1t is adorned with
the papal crest and was in tie pos
session of Pope Gregory XIII, who
assembled the throne in 1873. Mr.,
Steinert's also contains a double
spinet by Hans Fuckers, the elder, a
harpsichord by Antonius Baffe, dated
1881, and similar to that in the Ken
sington Museum, and many interest
ing specimens of clavichords and
| other instruments of the early period
before the invention of the piano
forte. He is now at work restoring
them.-Ex.

Stolen last Saturday night in South
Caldwell. Thieves can clear their
names and save their parents from
shame by calling and paying for what
they have stolen. Now when 1t comes
pulling the roots that is pretty
much of a disgrace.

Musical Notes

Physicians, lawyers and men of
all occupations take advantage of
their societies and clubs that they
may talk things over" and thus i'm
prove their own methods of doing
things. Why should not we do the
same? These men also study their

why do not We? Moreover, they plan

A blind organ grinder, supposed
to be worth $4,000 has just died.
He collected from $4,000 to $4,000
in nickels and pennies from excur-
sionists. Having a license from the
city, he stood at the entrance to Glen
Island, usually playing Rock of
Ages" and Jesus Lover of My Soul. !"
He is supposed to have played these
more than 100000 times. Starin,
the proprietor of the Island, tried
hard to get him away, but as he had
license and stood on city property
he would not move. In busy seasons
he averaged $25 day. says the New

The horn music" produced by our
Boise friends last Sunday was not APP
preciated by the local authorities, and
the efforts of the marshal to subdue
the would-be performers were rivaled
in their strenuosity only by the quail
ty of the harmony produced. The
writer was forcibly reminded of a
certain evening many years ago
when a third-rate opera company
with fourth-rate orchestra essayed
to initiate the good people of st.
Paul, Minnesota, into the mysteries
of a Wagnerian production. The din
was scarcely less terrific and not
nearly so musical. When the rooters
brigade first opened up the other
day great many of our citizens
thought it was the Columbia band
coming down the street playing their
favorite march.

Messrs. Nels and Abner Gordon
and the writer took part in the con-
cert given by the Boise Symphony
Orchestra Tuesday evening of this
week, and incidentally enjoyed a
splendid programme. Prominent
musicians from Salt Lake City and
the members of the popular Rouma-
nian orchestra playing at the "Nat"
helped to make the closing concert
an artistic success. The soloist of
the evening, Mrs. Frances Striegel-
Burke, proved herself thorough
master of the piano and pleased all
by her delicacy of touch and marked
intelligence of Interpretation. The
orchestral numbers were we'll receiv-
ed, incessant encores being demand
ed after every selection. Few cities
in this country of the size of Boise
can boast of an organization of this
nature, and the citizens of the capital
city should consider 1t privilege and
a pleasure to support, morally and
financially, an institution of so great
an educational value. Its existence
is due almost solely to the undaunt-
ed efforts of Director Christensen
and Concert Master Breach.

At this Taurus, who in the dim light
had been somewhat uncertain as to
his objective, but was now satisfied
on the point, and maddened at what
he took for a challenge, lowered his
head and charged. Sadly picking
himself up, and dimly discerning his
antagonist on the far side of the wall
over which he had been tossed, the
old musician angrily shook his fist,
and by way of clinching the matter
said, Yes! you may be very strong,
but you are no musician!"-S. B.

Pope Gregory XIII, and porbably

the Third Ward Club, of Kearny, passed a
resolution last night condemning the vot-

Independent Voters League had in prep
aration a protest against the machines and
further advised the club that the league
intended to circulate petitions of protest
that were to be presented eventually to
the members of the Legislature. Mr.. Quinn
expressed himself in vigorous terms as OPP

the people do not care for hat method of
