A FRIEND OF KINGS.
SIR Ernest CasSeII, Once n Poor Boy,

Sir Ernest Cas>cII, Once n Poor Boy,
Now Entertains Royalty.
Sir Ernest Cassen. once one OF King
Edwards hosts at Biarritz. has had a
career fun Of romance. the romance OF
the self-made man. It seems like a
fairy tale that the unknown lad OF the
7gs should have been the friend and
counselor Of the King OF England and the
German Emperor.
II is rumorcd that he IS one of the six
men who move in the mysterious back
ground Of the government OF England.

builder Of his own fortune. Money was
grown under HIS hands. and banks and
railways have made his vast riches.
one Of the most dramatic moments I'm
his career was a Boer war incident. The
British government stood In need OF "a
big sum at short notice. It was OBJ
tanned by Sir Ernest in three hours.
Luck seems not TO attend him on the
turf. although he once won the Two
Thousand.
Much has been written on Brook House,
his Park Lane residence. but there has
been scant mention OF the Turkish baths
which occupy part Of the ground floor.
nor Of the marvellous range Of kitchens.
There are six Of these. with marble floors
and walls. and they include pastry
kitchens. grilling. roasting and boiling
kitchens. a vegetable kitchen and a room
for fruit and flowers.

borne him. It seems hardly credible that
such wicked thing could have been ac-
complished, vet there is incontrovertible
evidence that King George was married
to the daughter OF Admiral Tryon. that
he was happy in his marriage. which had
been blessed by the birth OF two children
and that he was separated from his dear
ones on the death OF his brother. the
Duke of Clarence. that he might marry
a royal princess. who would one day be
come Queen OF Great Britain.
That so wise and good a woman as
Queen Victoria not only sanctioned. but
ordered this separation. is a potent rea-
son for the abolishment Of this fiction
regarding royalty the idea of the divine
rights Of kings. The daughter Of Admiral
Tryon would probably have made as ac-
ceptable a queen as the daughter OF the
Duke Of Teck. even though the founders
of the formers family were not as sue.

20 APPEAR HERE.

The appearance in this city. Monday
evening, December nineteenth, at the
Murray, of Maud Powell, promises to
events of the winter season. The fol-
lowing clipping concerning her is of
interest:
Among the great violinists of the
present day, irrespective of sex, there
is not one that appeals more directly
to the heart than Maud Powell. 1t is
not only sincert art, but deeply alb
sorbed feeling that carries the audi
ence away with her. The difficulties
Of the concerto (and it abounds with
them) were played with such ease and
repose that they did not seem to ex-
list at all. The clarity of her tone was
marvellous at all times, even in the
most pronounced bravura passages.
With this repose, so utterly free from
the suspicion of mannerism, it is Won
derful how much genuine passion and
sentiment she can put into her inter-
pretations.
An instance in point was her soulful
singing out of the lied in the second
movement! which. with it's poetic
shadings and tone color, spoke liv-
ing message. Her broad, musical tone;
which never sacrifices beauty, is by
no means the least part of her musical
endowment. and it asserted itself par
ticularly in the tempestuous mazes of
the final movement. Nine. Powell
was received after the manner of an
ovation by the audience, being called
out repeatedly at the close of the con-

was unusually good. An orchestra

Mrs. Morey as pianist alternated with
the band in playing a program of mu-
sic for the many dancers. Gayety
reigned until the last strains of

OF this city. A number OF the women
who are active in the club life here

was in the hands of committee COM
posed of Mr.. Frank Hartzler, chair
man: Mr.. Henry Runge, MIR. Ernest

taken in. This will probably be an

DANCE A SUCCESS.

One of the most charming social

was the dance last evening in the
Coliseum which had been arranged for
by the members of the Musicians
Union for the benefit of the Fall Fes-

gay with Its many Christmas decora-
lions. Japanese lanterns were also
used In embellishing. The work was
done by Mr.. William Scheurmann, a
popular decorator OF this city. The
grand march began at eight-thirty
o'clock. the doors being thrown open
at seven-thirty o'clock. The galleries
were filled with spectators and the
dance floor for time was very crowd
