Symphonic Music and the Dance.

Never before in the history of art In
this country has so unique combination
been presented as will tour the American
cities this fall--a symphony orchestra
with dancer as soloist instead of the
conventional pianist or singer.
Not since the days of the Greeks. 1000
wears ago, has the dance been consid-
cred as an art on par with music,
sculpture or painting.
Ii remained for a young American GIRL
Isadora Duncan, to revive this art in all
its glory and to astonish the people of
two continents by the exquisite beauty of
her work.
Walter Damrosch, quickly perceiving
that here was a revival of great art
that had become lost to the world In the
more or less vulgar and artificial aberra-
tions of the modern ballet, invited her
to appear with the New York Symphony
Orchestra at the Metropolitan Opera
House last November. The immediate
success Of this combination Of music with
the dance cannot be described. Five per-
formances were given to audiences crowd
ed to the doors and watching and listen
ing with breath!ess interest and enthus-
iasm.
Philadelphia and Washington followed
with equal results. then Boston and Chi
cago. If Miss Duncans engagements In
Europe had not prevented, the tour could
have been carried across the continent.
For this season a longer stay has been
pear in conjunction with Mr.. Damrosch
and the New York symphony Orchestra
in all the larger cities. beginning

English school of music in the days OF
DR.. Arne and Purcell. They wrote real
music which was instinct with national
characteristics. But if Mcdowell is
dead. as Mr.. Young so sadly points out,
Arne and Purcell are at least a good bit
deader. and who, since their day, has
exalted the national note of English mu-
sic to height where English critics are
safe in throwing stones at the lack of
nationality in our music? Or does Mr..

How terrible! How whitening.

is sad but there are parallels. For IN
stance, THE Scarlet Letter is quite as
much an English novel as MacDowells 3
music is German, and Hawthorne Is dead.
For the rest, Mr.. Young thinks we write
limitations of foreign music very Well
but not nearly so well as the English
men do, which qualification gives hu-
morous tinse to such truth as there is III

Norov Is not so good as that of the

Mr. Young things Mr.. Chadwick less

ought to be true. The corollary is that
Chadwick is much more American, but
that would spoil Mr. Youngs argument.
The essential fact in this criticism, that
American music is in its formative stages

easily apparent than the dominant ma

How old-Age Pensions Work.
London Out!ot

FIOm the LoEuOn Uut.obka
Many pensions were granted where
there were considerable sums invested in
securities and where there was compare
tive comfort, while men over seventy
who had during the past year earned
over seventeen shillings n week We're dis
qualified, although their prospect of flu
ture work was remote. The marriage of
an Engishwoman to an alien now dead
was a hard instance of disqualification.
The case is cited OF a man born in
Hanover and rot naturaliz5d; on investi-
cation it appeared he was born before
the accession of Queen Victoria. when
Hanover was a possession of the British
crown. and therefore at the time of his
birth he was British subject The
question arose, Did the death of William

Comic English Panic.

Few panics have been so widespread
and so ill-founded as the one that swept
the country after the discovery of the
Cato-street conspiracy. nearly "A century
ago, when the gentry armed and patrol
led the roads in search of revolutionaries
who never appeared, and met at night
on lonely heaths, to disperse rising
that never rose. Every vagabond on the
road was termed a radical and brought
before a bench of magistrates. and the
women in the towns spent their time in
helping the men to barricade the houses
against a mob that stood and looked
on. innocent of the fact that ii was all
happening on their account. And the
alarmists went about attributing the sup
posed revolution 10 the overeducation of
the lower classes. since the Ia adical leaders
who distributed pamphlets must be able
