FRIDAY EVENING. MAR. 70. 1903.
SINGING BOYS or JENA
outaro~th Of Age Of 5aechsntss OIL
Wandering Students.

Hundreds of years ago the streets
of Jena and other German towns
used to echo to the songs of black
robed monks, who went from door
to door singing and begging aims.
Their example was followed by
bands Of poor students, known as
bacchantes. These bacchantes wan
dered from one university to an
other in search Of better instruction
or better means of support. Such
a wandering life was favored by the
customs OF times when people
thought it virtue to give freely to
all persons seeking help, but esps-
cially to monks and students.
The bacchantes had With them
Younger travelling scholars, known
as skirmishers, who were to receive
instruction in return for certain
services. The younger skirmisher
had to wait upon his bscchante,
beg and even steal for him, and for
the most part he was very tyran-
nically used. But as he was a waif
without other protection he had TO
make the best Of matters.
After the reformation in many
places these orphan BOYS, or waits,
we're banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from churches,
but also we're assisted by private
subscription. 1t was their duty TO
sing not only in the churches, but
before the honses Of their patrons
as well. Thus they ceased to be
beegars. Martin Luther himself as
a boy had been one Of these singers,
and it was largely due TO his inhu-
ence that the old custom of begging
entirely passed away. There Is a
famous picture Of Luther as a sing
ing boy in Eisenach, where his song
attracted the attention Of the good
Frau Gotta, who adopted ana edu-
Gated him.
Nowadays the old custom of the
choir boys singing from house to
house is fading away. There are
only five other towns beside Jena in
the whole German empire where
this music can be heard Once each
year the singing boys go to Else
mach and sing before the emperor
in the great hall Of the historic cas-
tie Of the Wartburg, where the
minnesingers held their music bat
ties.
There are just twenty of the Je-
ma singing boys, five each Of the
ages eleven, twelve, thirteen and
fourteen years. They are orphans,
and the only qualifications for the
privilege of four years board and
schooling are good character, abili-
tv to sing and obedience to the laws
Of the organization, one of which
requires them 10 sing before the
houses of their patrons.-St. Mich

The Roorback.

During the presidential campaign
Of 1874 certain Wing newspapers
published an absurd statement de-
rogatory to the Democratic candi-
date for president, James K. Polk,
under the caption, Baron Roor-
backs Tour Through the Western
and Southern States" The state
ment was easily disproved and prob
ably did little or no harm to the
man attacked. Since then, in Ameri-
can political parlance, the "roor-
back has been the campaign lie,
particularly the one uttered so soon
before election as to make its an
swer a matter Of dificulty.-Argo-

FORSYTHE PAIR ARE
FAVORITES FOR
DERBY
Arcadia Track Sends Two to
Try for Three Year OIds
Coveted Prize

Tomorrow Will bring the twelfth re-
newal of the California derby. the blue
ribbon event of the season for year.
olds. The field carded to contest it
makes up in quality what it lacks in
numbers. being small but select. Six
of the cleverest year olds in training
at the two coast tracks are named as
prospective starters, the list being
made up of f. A. Forsythe's High
Private and Fanatic, T. II. Williams
Tom Hayward. ]. W. Paulsen's Palo
Alto, S C. I1ildreth's Joe Madden and
W. $. Houses Lawton Virgins. The
last named pair arrived last night from
Arcadia where they have been racing
so creditably. that they, will hgure as
second and third choices in the betting.
The Forsythe entry will rule a top
heavy fayorite as natural result of
the prowess which High Private has
exhibited in achieving two stake vic
tories over mature fields, climaxed by
an impressive win in the derby trial
run at the EmeryVille track last week
In this latter event Forsythe's crack 3
year old conceded all kinds of weight
TO his opponents and won in a canter
in spite of poor racing luck at various
stages of the running. He will carry
only one more pound tomorrow than
he had up in the trial, and on form
looks to have the $4,000 purse at his
mercy The colored jockey, J. Lee, who
has been riding in vastly improv ed
form of late, will have the mount on
the Forsythe crack.
1t is TO be regretted that s. C. Hill
dreth was unable to get Fitzherbert,
the best of his year olds, to the
post for the derby. Local race goers
had been looking forward to a meet
ing between High. Private and Fitz-
herbert with keen anticipation. The
general opinion is that in Fitzherbert
High Private would have had an ad-
versary worthy of his steel The Hill
dreth candidate. Joe Madden, was
beaten by Lawton Virgins, the other
representative Of the Arcadia track in
recent meeting at Santa Anita de-
signed as part OF the preparation of the
pair for tomorrow's test but expert
opinion agreed that Joe Madden should
have been the winner. Eddie Dugan is
coming north today to ride Joe Madden
and the colt will get the benefit Of his
skill as a rider over considerable
distance of ground. The derby distance
is mile and quarter which is the
route at which Dugan excels.
The California derby was instituted
In 1897 and its list of winners is made
up of Scarborough. Traverser, Corsini
