DELIGHTFUL MUSIC
ATTRACTED CROWD

A very large and appreciative audience
attended the International Symphony
clubs concert at the High school audi
torium last night and it is reasonable
to say that not often in Birmingham has
artistic music been so thoroughly enjoyed.
The entertainment was delightful from
beginning to end.
The International Symphony club is
made up of six artists-strng quintet and
fiute-and each performer is an artist
in the strictest musical sense. All, or
nearly all, have been members of the
Boston Symphony orchestra. So perfect
is the ensemble work of the club that the
older and more famous chamber bands
are recalled, and in comparison this
newer organization suffers not a bit. Old
music lovers called to mind, no doubt,
the distinguished Mendelssohn quintet
of years gone by, when Listemann led
and Ryan filed in with viola or clarinet.
In its best condition that chamber band
surpassed anything of the kind ever heard
in this country up to the time of it's ex-
istence
The mantle of the Mendelssohn quintet
has certainly fallen on the International
Symphony club.
Playing together constantly six mu-
Stefan performers produce orchestral eff
fects that would be impossible in med
iocre players or even in high class art
lists practicing ensemble only occasionally.
Nicola Sokoloff, the violinist who leads
the club, is not only master of orches-
trail playing, but he is an excellent soloist.
Mr.. Heinde, the cellist, is a celebrated
virtuoso and down the line-Mr. Sworns-
Scheers, the fuist, and so on-all are
prominent in musical art.
Miss Mary Fay Sherwood, the vocal
soloist of the club, has a strong, sweet
voice, and her vocallzation is admirable
She was very hoarse last night, but never
theless her singing was greatly enjoyed.
and she, like the other artists, was forced
to respond to encores.
The programme was of the popular sort.
There was nothing on it except artistic
music to be sure. but severely classic
numbers We're omitted. The audience
applauded warmly each number, but its
keenest appreciation was shown when
soft, dainty pieces were played.
Several changes were made in the pro-
gramme and as rendered it was as fol-
lows:
Overture, Poet and Peasant"
(Suppe).
Cello solo, Caprice Hungrois," Dunk
ler), Mr. Heindl.
Pizzicato, "Arabeske." FauchettD.
"Slumber Song, Crito Mattel; "Vil-
lanelle,'' eva Veil Aqua, Miss Sher-
wood.
An Idyl, Gangey).
Violin solo, "Zigeunertanze," (Naches).
'Andante Cantabile,' from string
quartet, (Tschaikowsky).
Flute solo, Souvenir de OPERA" Ode
jung, Mr.. Scheers.
"Parla,' (ArditD Miss Sherwood.
Sextet, QHoffmann).
The piano was not used, all the ac-
compartments being played by the club.
A return date Of this organization will
be eagerly awaited. Certain 1t is that of
the 1900 or more music lovers who listened
to last nights treat, none would willing
ly miss hearing these artists again.

DAWN.
By Richard Watson Glider.

BY Richard Watson Glider.
The night was dark, though sometimes
a faint star
A little while a little space made bright
The night was long and like an iron
bar
Lay heavy on the land till Ger the sea
Slowly, within the East. there grew
light
Which was half starlight, and half seemed
The herald of greater. The pale white
Turned slowly to pale rose, and up the
OF heaven slowly climbed. The gray sea
grew
Rose colored like the sky. A white gull
flew
Straight toward the utmost boundary of
the East,
Where slowly the rose gathered and in
creased.
Tt was on the opening of door
BY one that in his hand lamp doth
hold.
Whose flame is hidden by the garments
The stil air moves the wide room is less
dim.
More bright the East became, the ocean
turned
Dark and more dark against the bright
ening sky
Sharper against the sky the long sea line.
The holows of the breakers on the shore
Were green like leaves wherein no sun
doth shine,
Though white the outer branches of the
tree
From rose to red the level heaven
burned:
Then sudden. as II sword fell from on
high
A blade Of gold flashed on the horizons
rim.

Young Democrats.

tThose of us who have been voting the
democratic ticket for many years are
Injured to defeat, but the young man who
has recently attained his majority and
who cast his first vote last Tuesday and
naturally feels sore disappointment at the
result" said an old party man.
..I cast my first vote for Horace
Greedy in 1872 l was just OF age, and
although southern born and reared | was
al ardent admirer of Mr.. Greedy because
of the fact that he went on Jefferson
Davis bond. At that time L read only
one newspaper and that paper was a Wig
orous champion of Mr.. Greedy as candi-
date for the presidency against President
Grant. l got it into my head that Mr..
Greedy would sweep the country and was
greatly surprised and disappointed when
the returns came in. Mr.. Greedy was
showed under. OF course older men
knew that he would be, but l being young
and green accepted all the claims that
the Greedy campaign committee issued
just before the election.
MANY a young democrat of today no
doubt accepted the Bryan committee fore
casts made last week, and believed up
to the night of election that Mr.. Bryan
was a winner; hence the keenness OF the
disappointment. Seasoned democrats saw
little to base hopes upon, and therefore
accepted the verdict as matter of
course.
LAS has been demonstrated very for
chilly, something more than a united de-
mocracy is needed to elect democratic
President. Cleveland was twice elected,
but each time he received not only all
the democratic vote but thousands of in
dependent, or mugwump votes besides. 1t
may be that in 1912 standard bearer
will be found who can win large inde-
pendent vote. / hope so at any rate

Killed By Election News.

New York, November 6.-Prof Edwin
Emerson died in Toxic on November 4
of heart failure as a result of intense ex-
element over the American election news,
following the stress attending the recep-
ton in Japan waters of the American
fleet Professor Emerson was a warm
personal friend of William H. Taft, who
visited him in Japan, and of Gov Charles
Il. Hughes of New York, whom he used
to know intimately when they were both
professors at Cornell university. Mr..
Emerson at the time of his death was
the Oldest American citizen in the far
east. He was born in 1922.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
A woman's idea of fine dinner Is not
what there is to eat, but who takes her
in to it..
You will always notice how crank
makes all the other cranks think they
aren't.
1t takes all the fun out of doing the
most interesting thing in the world to get
q salary for it,
The reason a girl is always light-heart-
ed when she comes down to breakfast is
she doesn't feel so.
The only way to get man to agree
with you in an argument is when he
wants to borrow money from you.

Substantial Improvement.

The insistent prediction in financial
circles that business conditions would
improve Immediately on the announce
ment of Taft's election is coming true"
said f. p. Ainsworth of Chicago. 1T
would be unreasonable to expect business
to start off at a high pressure gait. A
sudden boom would be undesirable, but
steady and solid Improvement is already
in evidence and it is safe to say that
business in general will be almost, #
not quite, normal by January l.
I'm the Birmingham district the pay
rolls. it seems, were so per cent OF mr.
NAL in October. Industrial eenters in he
north were not SO prosperous and the
comparison goes TO show the favored
position of Birmingham. But business
men are becoming quite confident that
early in 1893 industrial life in I'LL sec
tons will be well revived
What is needed to make the metals
trade boom and all other branches of
business as for that matter, is brisk
and liberal buying on the part of the
railroads. The ability of railroad COM
panies to better their tracks and 0uy
needed equipment, is conditioned on their
ability to borrow money and their abl-
ity to borrow was in turn conditioned
on Tafts election. Within the next few
weeks, or early in the new year at thu
farthest, the railroads will be in good
financial shape. Yes, the post-election
improvement is as marked as business

Brilliant Pianist.

Owing to the inelement weather last
Monday night Miss Mary Angel, the bril-
liant young pianist, played to a small
audience at the Cable hall, but those
who heard her speak in high praise of
her recital. Miss Angel has appeared
here several times, and each time has
shown decided Improvement She is yet
very young for a virtuoso. but her style
is now fast maturing. She uses the Ma
son 6, Hamln piano and makes it sing.
In referring to Miss Angels playing
Monday, William Gussen of the Birming-
ham Conservatory, submitted this crit
icism: "She has matured very much in
her art She has good tone and clean
technique; also great strength and nerv-
Gus endurance. She presented an inter-
esting programme. Some. numbers and
parts of numbers which, Miss Angel
rendered would have sounded more music
ally had she played them slower. In or
der to display f1eetness of fingers she
played the parts referred to very fast,
but as she continues to mature she will
no doubt think more of the musical con-
tents of her piece than of the purely me-
ehanical. However, every thing was clear
and Miss Angeles runs and passages
were never muddled."
