GIFT STlRS MUSICAL CIRCLES
Must Reorganize Philharmonic
10 Meet pulitzer's Terms.

Considerable interest has been aroused I'm
musical circles over the gift Of $4,000,
made to the Philharmonic Society I'm the
will of Joseph Pulitzer. Mr. Pulitzer in a
codicil TO the will provides that If after
three years from the date Of his death the
society does not become a membership cor
poraton, organized under the laws Of the
State of New York, representing the gen
eral public. and with "a membership Of not
less than one thousand persons paying
dues" the .bequest shall be revoked.
Just how this will affect the society is
not yet evident. but II the bequest is ac-
cepted as one Of the controlling spirits Of
the society said yesterday would be done, it
will probably mean that there must ensue
a complete reorganization.
The Philharmonic Society is at present
4 cn-operatVe organization i'm which the
orchestra members participate and share
the profits Two years ago there was ap-
pointed a board OF guarantors, who took
charge Of the Institutions affairs for three
wears. This Is the last OF these three sea-
sons. but. according 10 Richard Arnold,
yice-prcsident Of the society. these guaran-
tors have the right 10 continue for another
wear shall they wish 20 do SO.
But in order to obtain Mr.. Pulltzer's
bequest the membership of the society
must reach az least one thousand persons,
which WILL of course destroy the old CO.
operative agreement which has existed
since the societys founding, in 1872 There
ia. too. at present a pension fund Tor the
members Of the orchestra, and what will
become Of this In case Of a reorganization
must be decided.
At present. it looks as IL 90 obtain Mr..
Pulitger's gift the society must absolutely
overrrn its old organization. Whether
S5Do 600 Is a large enough sum with which
IN endow permanent orchestra VIII also
have 10 be decided. but the society's Of
doors have as yet held no meeting i'm re-

states. This sum shall be applied and used

Brother Charges Brother with Murder.
One OF the most extraordinary incidents
IN connection with the Hare family was the
suit for libel- brought against Augustus
Hare by his brother, Francis Hare. Their
sister Esmeralda Hare, the heroine of Ed
mond About's well known novel "Tolla." a
member of the Roman Catholic order of
the Bleeding Heart. died at house in
Brook street London, with every appear
ance of having succumbed to poison. and
on her deathbed she is said to have told
the nurse who was attending her that she
owed her death to Francis Augustus re-
peated this charge in private letters TO
some Of his intimate friends. One of these
letters fell into the hands of Francis. who
Immediately began suit for libel against
his brother.
When the case came UP for trial at Guild
ford the Judge declined to try IT, on the
ground that he hal never known of an
action for libel by one brother against an
other brother arising out OF suggestion
that the former had murdered his sister.
He insisted on the affair being settled out
Of court Augustus agreed to withdraw the
imputations. and the case fell to the ground
Francis Hare, once an officer of the Cd
Life Guards, had been obliged TO leave
the army owing 10 his forging names Of
brother officers 10 promissory notes, on
which he obtained money For the honor
and credit Of the regiment the matter was
compromised by the victims, and no Grim
inal prosecution took place. Francis Hare's
accomplice in the matter was French
woman, wife of a man who was serving
time in the French galleys for forgery. and
when her husband died she became Mrs.
Francis Hare.
