Wherever the beauty and the
power that mark true musical art
are appreciated. there the works OF
Edward A Mcdowell have made a
lasting impression. He was the soul
of honor and of poetry.
MacDoweIl's genius showed itself
when he was d mere child. At the
age of ten he left New York, his
native city, TO study in Paris. 1t
was proposed to make him profess
sor of pianoforte at the Conserva-
tory Of Frankfort when he was only
twenty years old, and the proposal
had the support of Raft; but antag-
onistic influences defeated him, and
to some extent pursued him ever
after. It was his lot to suffer as
well as to succeed.
The encouragement that Meadow
ell was happy to extend to students
viii now give way to the inspiration
that rises from his beautiful works.

Passengers On Big Liner
Rage As Ship Is Anchored
To Await Passing of Storm

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-With the tall
buildings OF their destination almost in
view, the passengers on the big White
Star liner Adriatlc fumed and ragged as
she lay at her anchorage OF Sandy
Hook yesterday all through the storm.
Arriving at the bar early yesterday,
the bowling gale and nOrtheAsterly
snow storm made II impossible to take
a pilot on board, and four big anchors
were dropped 10 hold the liner or shore.
It was not until this morning that the
big liner could come Up TO Quarantine.
On board was DIT. GauJaa, a French
physician who attended Harry Thaw In
Paris, and two companions who will be
witnesses in the trial Monday. Repre-
senatiVes Of counsel for the defense
boarded the steamer at quarantine and
sealed the mouths OF their witnesses
The report from London that Richard
A MCCurdy was a passenger on the
Adrtatic proved untrue His name was
not on the passenger list. and the stew
ard, who is we'll acquainted with the
former head of the Mutual Lie Insur-
ance Company, stated that he had not
been a passenger under another name.

The Way of Woman.

In 1903 a quaint book called
''Courtship, Love and MatrimOny''
appeared from an English press.
Even way back there the lady's
privilege was well understood. Says
this literary jewel:
albeit is move become part OF
the common Lave, in regard to the
social relashuns of life, that as
often as evry Bissextile year doth
return, the Ladys have the sole
privilege during the time it cOntinu-
eth of making love unto the men;
which they may doe either by
worde or lookes, as unto them 1t
seemeth proper. And, moreover, no
man will be entitled to the benefit
of the clergy who doth refuse TO &C
cept the offers of the Lady; who
doth in any wise treat her pro-
posaIs with slight or contumely."
In Chicago a willowy, hssome
creature, rejoicing in the name of
Willin 1--WE viii call her thus) Is
forming a club of grass widows.
How we mayproft by our mistakes
and not get lemOnized next time, "
is the fundamental idea underlying
the club, according TO Mrs. Willin.
She proposes that the members talk
over in friendly chat" their welded
experience, so that next time" if it
comes, they viii know better.
Il was handed a whole crate Of
lemons in my last experience, and 1
want to help start a club where
those Of US who have suffered may
meet IN a social way and help each
other, so that we may not be nipped
again" says Mrs. Willin.
This lady cannot fool us; we are
fully persuaded the Grass Widows
Club is a fell design to take some
mean, undetermined advantage of
the uncaPtured and unsuspecting
males in its neighbOrhood.
Still we wish the girls, emanci-
pated for twelve months, JOY and
success in their quest.

The Upward Climb.

Recently there was q Greek in
New York city. His name was
Menas. Several years ago he was a
poor pushcart man-peddled fruit
through the streets. Up and down
the alleys and the byways in the
rain and the snow and the heat;
sometimes sick and sometimes well,
ragged, haggard, often hungry and
weary, and covered with dust,
Menas drew his cart. There are
many such IN the swarming hives Of
foreigners in this great Republic.
You have seen them. Look at the
next one who passes. He is nothing
TO you-he is only a poor pushcart
man. He doesn't differ from Menas
except in one thing.
Menas had a dream, and he fol-
lowed a star. as he toiled along
day in and day out for a decade, he
always dreamed the dream, and
ever the star becIoned on. This
was his dream-a wild preposterous
thing, out of all reason in a push
cart man. He determined to earn
100000, return to his native land,
and become a bank president
Sounds Ike joke, doesn't it2 It
was not a jest to Menas. After
long years of work and privation
and saving he had the fortune. The
dream came true, the star was
grasped at last. Menas went away
to crafty his ambition in a sunlit
city by the Aegean sea.
That dream was realized because
the Athenian was faithful to it, and
as he plodded onward the star ever
shone in front.
Emerson said: Hitch your
wagon to a star" There is almost a
cosmos in that simple sentence. In
It is the harmony of the universe.
One can see in those six little words
the summary of human achieve
