SYMPHONY MUSIC

almost eerie flavor pervaded the Of

program was built to suit the mood
Of the house to a T. too. was most
apparent. since Mr.. Fielder at the con-
clusion Of both orchestra selections
found himself compelled to return to
the stage time and time again to bow
his acknowledgements 10 a tumultously

inal symphony found in Mr.. Fielder an
interpreter imbued with the spirit of

lowed the work from the first melodious
note Of the theme announced by the first
horn through several movements-inter-
mezzo. scherzo, andante-into the full
storm OF a roIlicking rural dance. it is
scarcely probable that even the most

STARVATION ENDS LIFE
OF MAN WITH PLENTY
PitifuI Story Revealed After
Streetcar Accident

A pitiful story of starvation in the
face of plenty came to light yesterday
in the death of Sorin Christopherson at
ST. Francis hospital
Christopherson. who was past 20
years of age, was hit by streetcar at
Deyisadero and Post streets December
20. His RIB was fractured and he was
taken to st. Francis hospital for treat
ment A short time after his arrival
the doctors discovered that he had not
eaten for days and that he could take
no nourishment
For several years Christopherson
lived in what was practically a howell
at 21O4 Bush street. In searching
among his effects yesterday the author
tiles discovered a bank book showing
that the old man had more than $4,000
to his credit. Just why he did not use
any of this money can only be explained
by his thrifty habits.
