ton of Chapter of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution in this local..
ty. We have since learned that Mrs Fl
A Carroll. of Charles Town, has been
appointed Regent for West Virginia.
and that she has IN hand the proper forms
of applications to become members. and
will gladly supply them to any appli-
cants. Twelve members may form a
chapter. and verify largely more than
that number of eligible ladies NAV be
found here. 1t was from the present
bounds OF Jefferson county that the frs,
body of Virginians. under command OF
the gallant Morgan. marched to the re.
lief of Boston, and the female descend
ants of these patriots are surely plentiful
enough in Charles Town and jefferson
county to organlze good chapter. Make
a move in the matter. ladies. and If there
is anything we can do to aid you in the
accomplishment of this purpose we will
cheerfully do it. We are el gibe as a
Son, but not as a Daughte; otherwise
we might take an active part in the or
ganizatlon ourself.

beethoven AND BUSINESS.
Selling His Music Was DistastefH to
the Great COMPOSER


An extremely interesting article
which has appeared in a German mu-
steal and theatrical paper under the
above heading contains the following
statement, says London exchange:
Beethoven never bargained in the or
binary way His fees for compost
ton were demanded briefly and In a
decided manner, and he always pointed
out when mentioning price that he
meant guineas and not sovereigns, or,
rather, their equivalent in Austrian
coin. In 1901 he wrote to a music firm
at Leipzig: Now the unpalatable bust
ness part is done with | wish things
could be managed differently in this
world. There should be only one mu-
sic publisher to whom the artist might
take his work, knowing that he might
ask fee according to his require
ments. AS it is, he has to be partly u
tradesman. Good heavens, how diff
ferent and unpalatable this is" But
this pious wish was never fulfilled, and
Beethoven had to remain half n
tradesman" to the end.
AS Il suggestion of how dedications
are occasionally made, the following
letter, which Beethoven wrote to the
same publisher in 1902 from Vienna. is
interesting:
The lady in question can have a
sonata, and | will do my best to carry
out her aesthetic ideas. The price is
. guineas (ducaten), and for this she
may retain the sonata for year as
her private property. but not for pub
lication. AT the end of the year the
sonata becomes my. property-that is
TO. say, have the right to publish 1t,
and IL she thinks 1t an honor she may
ask to have the work dedicated to
her"
This, from the business point of view
OF the lady in question, Is surely a
tempting offer At least, SO the art
patroness of today would think IL she
had a chance of suggesting to a
Beethoven the aesthetic idea" for q
sonata. to retain such a treasure In her
own hands for a twelvemonth and
thereafter have 1t dedicated to her
and all for 5 guineas

the attendance always large. The wealth
er on Saturday was fne-neither ex-
tremely hot. or yet too cool The peo-
pie began pouring into town early in the
morning from every direction. and long
before the hour for the memorial service
the streets of the town and walks and
driveways of Edge Hill Cemetery were
literally thronged with visitors. At p
m PROCESSION was formed at the court

though too young to be a Confederate
veteran, is OF the blood of the most gall

and although an honored jurist in a
northern State, he has lost not jot or

The decoration of the Confederate
graves. we are gratl6ed to be able to
note, was more general than for some

with a wreath, and with the assistance
of Mr. Charles H Grim had each grave
marked with Confederate flag. Flow

ters had the soldiers monument taste
