The Late Francis w. CuShman

In delivering last Saturday after
noon before the house of representa-
tiyes, his eulogy of the late Francis
W. Cushman, Representative W. E.
Humphrey paid him most glowing
tribute. His mastery address is one
worth reading by all. the lessons con
tanned therein being of no mean val
ne. Among other things Nh.
Humphrey said:
ga bout Mr.. Cushman's early life
there wac nothing prophetic of his
future. In his youth he walked in
humblest ways. He knew what it
was to be poor. H. knew what 1t
gas to toll that he might eat tread.
He knew the sting and spur and curse
of poverty. He touched life on many
sides. He travelled many paths. From
these hard experiences and environ
ments was made and nodded that rug
ged character that met, with unyield-
ing courage. all the duties and bat
ties OF grandly successful life. This
barefooted boy. working in the fields
dreamed dreams. his brain filed with
pictures, pictures of public life. of
service to his country-of the halls
of congress. Neither poverty nor ad-
versity nor circumstances could shake
the faith of this boy in these dreams.
He set his face toward his goal aud
never did he for a moment turn aside
or falter or grow faint or lose faith.
That boy lived to have reputation
as wide as bis country, to become the
most popular man of great state. a
leader in the greatest body of men in
all the world. He helped to shape
some of the most important legisla-
tion that has been written on the sta
tute books of his country for the last
thirty years. And when he spoke it
was "listening seuates to command.
He kept the faith. He fought the
fight. He did the best that was with
in him and greater than this no man
can do. He died loved and honored
by thousands. By his own unaided
efforts. by his genius, by his indus
try, by his integrity. by his own work
alone. he won success. His life is an
inspiration and "a star to every ragged
boy whose heart throbs with ambi
tion's hope.
stThis man was true in all the rela.
lions of life. He was true to him
self, to his convictions, to his coun-
try, to his friends. and to those be
loved. He lived a clean life. He
did the right. He was not afraid.
He walked with the conscious strength
of honest purpose.
ga more congenial, kindly, com
panionable soul never dwelt in human
clay. Of all the many jewels that
adorned the crown of this splendid
man. the most beautiful of all was
his dev otion to his mother. All the
currents of his life seemed to center
around her. And fully was this de.
votion merited and returned. All
great mothers do not have great sons.
but all great sons do have great moth
ers. This is the law eternal, fixed
by the Infinite Wisdom.

SUITE BY CARL POHLIG.

Carl PohIig, the leader of the Pha-
delphia Orchestra. according to a Phia-
delphia dispatch, has just brought out his
impressions of America" in the form of
suite, which has made a vivid impression
on all who have heard il. The dispatch
states that IL is interesting TO note. IN con-
nection with this new work of the con-
ductor's, which is given for the first time.
that America seems 10 make more vivid
impression on the great composers and con-
ductors who come from Bohemia than 1t
does on any OF their brethren who come
from other parts of Europe. Dvorak, also
a Bohemian, had not been here long before
he was moved TO write the symphony
From the New World" and his quartet.
which also depicts his impressions OF
America. In these works he had a theory
of utilizing the elements Of slave songs
not the melodies themselves-as the basis
of composition.
Mr.. Pohlig, though ne has very carefully
studied the Indian and negro folk music, in
his suite has not made any effort TO force
the theory that any composition rejecting
American life should be based on these
melodies Instead. he has simply let the
music express itself naturally IN an anso-

Mr. Mailer brought forward at the festival
of the German General Musical Association
held in Graz I'm the summer of 1905 They
are for solo voice and orchestra and were
conceived by the composer unit,
wherefore he has requested that their con-
tinuity be not interrupted by applause be-
tween the numbers.
The songs, which, like those OF Felix
NeingartneT and Hugo Wolf, will be sung
by Dr. WIlner. will be accompanied by
heorchestra. The overture by Or. Dvorak
IS one of the set of three which have COM
nnunity Of theme and which had their first
performance at the concert which was
given by the composer when he became a
resident of New York. At the time the
works being still in manuscript, DIR. Dvorak
called the three triple overture, and
gave the separate numbers separate titles
Nature" Life" and Love" When he
published them ne designated the three an
"Orsrture Tfilogy," but gave each work a
separate opus number and changed their
titles 10 I'm Nature" ''CarnavaT' and
"Othelo" The first and second have re-
tained a considerable measure of popu-
iarity but the last is seldom heard now

What is the future OF oratorio in the
United States?" Is a question frequently
heard in these latter times. and. although
one is obliged to return an uncertain an
swer filed with dark miscivings based on
we'll defined signs and conditions. he IS
able nevertheless. TO offer certain interest
ing reasons for the change in public sen

rapidly in that form of the tonal art there
can be no doubt. for one Is compelled TO
admit that IL is no longer possible 10
arouse the old, keen enthusiasm In the
oratorio performance. Something must be
done to overcome this lethargy. for IL in
difference is the mother of all night ana
chaos IN the scientific world. it Is much
more so in the spiritual world and while
that same Indifference Is often a forerun
ner of a recreation, of re-instaliation
of neglected and confused forces. we do
not wish to postpone progress by permit
ting ourselves to drift idly and silently
on a dangerous tide.
This is not an age Of spiritual ecstasy
and the opera form. OF which we nave
such an excellent abundance to-day. pro-

q sensational brilliancy and such an elaoo-
rate array of arts and ways and means
quite outside the realm OF mere musicai
art that the public taste is more or less

EUROPE'S LIKE EXPERIENCE

This is. indeed, deplorable condition, for
we simply must not retrograde. and yet we
are undergoing nothing that is new TO the
world. All Europe has passed through the
same experience from different causes but
has she done so unscathed? All countries
have had their writers of sacred music,
but where are they to-day? And the con-
ditions force the question. Are the nations
ethically OF intellectually as well off with
out them?
Germany boasts that her Bach is i'm
mortal. So do we all. for we look for a re-
vival of the Bach spirit, in spite OF the dor
mant interest of the present day. But ii is
TO Italy that we owe our oratorio, ard be-
hold the state OF sacred music in Italy to-
day! Italy had her Gregory and FfIippo
de Neri and Palestrina. all very great men
indeed, but what has she had since? Moth
ing but gradual decadence In that art
form since their period. The spirit OF that
form of music has departed from Italy.
and. indeed. from all Continental Europe,
and the fear is that the love of the oratorio
is fast departing from among us.
In order to revive public interest in ora
torio we need the same intellectual achieve
ment In the sacred thought In music that
we have in the secular forms. and the fear
Is that we shall be obliged to meet tha
present public temperament more or less
on its own ground-i. G.. the result OF our
efforts must be interest creating We NAV
be obliged TO accept a radical change an
utterly new conception. but any plan will
be welcome that promises TO entertain and
instruct and edify at the same time and by
the same medium

MUST LOVE THE INTRINSIC.

While nearly every one has certain
love for harmonious sounds. very definite
love and a given education along fixed
lines are requisite to an appreciation of
music in the concrete Keats once said
that mighty abstract idea of beauty
stiles all divided and minute happiness
in the sundries of life. So 1t is I'm all art
FORMS and we must actually love and
possess the intrinsic II ve are not to be
sidetracked In our pursuit. A true love
for the beautiful in any art will stiae the
weeds that grow up around it, but it Is
impossible to develop that love while out
side influences are permitted TO distract
from the art itself
Our economic conditions have a weight
in these matters which we often neglect
Our wall goes up with Beethoven's. which
he expressed in these words: when L
open my eyes sigh involuntarily escapes
me, for all that I see Gn society runs
counter to my religion. Perforce 7 despise
the world which does not intuitively feel
that music is a higher revelation than
all wisdom and philosophy" Later he
said: Nature knows no quiescencs and
true art walks with her hand in hand.
Her sister-from whom Heaven forerend
us,-is called Artihciality."
In the present commercial state OF the
modern mind. the constant nervous tension
in and about US forever and ever, even in
