Karl Muck Leaves
Boston Symphony:
Has Manu- Friends

The regret always felt by the musical
public OF Washington when the last
Boston symphony concert OF the sea-
son IS announced Will this year be
increased b. the knowledge tina this
concert, in the New National Tlleater
Tuesday afternoon, Will mark the last
appearance in Washington of DIT Karl
Muck who for two years has been the
conductor of the orchestra.
The promise held forth by mis- first
concerts ia the fsII of 1850 has been fuI-
hlled by those which have followed.
and il is a matter OF common agree
ment that never has the Boston Sym
phOny Orchestra attained such a pitch
OF virtUosity as IT has under DR.. Muck's
baton.
Considering the fact that he las been
in America but TWO years, and that he
came here an absolute stranger to the
conditions that exist in this country,
ana his quick comprehension Of Ameri-
can musical needs. his departure Will
cause deep regret.
DR.. Muck has placed three works on
his last, Washington program. The first
viii be the Beethoven's fourth SYM
puuny, which is perhaps the least well
known of the Immortal Nine" and
yet i'm the opinion of many is one Of
tie most beautiful. The second number

poem iR rondO form Till Eulenspieg-
els Merry Franks" and the third md

to secure the manuscripts of some
poems which he had buried with her
seven years before.

Cured in connection with J. NJ. W.
Turner if his desire to be buried wrap
ped up in his own painting of Car
thage' had been carried out. There
was some difficulty. in selling the paint
ing. and the artist kept the canvas by
him. He always said he would be
wrapped in it when he was buried and
even went SO far as to ask Chantrey if
as his executor he would fulfill his
wishes OH that point.
t'No doubt" answered the sculptor.
II shall bury you rolled up in your pic
ture if it is one of the conditions Of
your will, but l would take you up
next day and unroll your
