quaintances and no friends. Fortunately for
me the average New Yorker asks only InaL

could find better and more complete solitude
than can be found in the heart of this great
city. No one questioned me, and as the days
went by l gradually came TO feel that hao

could live and work without fear Of criticism
In the Fall Of 1905 I left my first position.

was there he took occasion to tell me that he
was convinced that I was living under an as
sumed name and possessed past.

DR.. Blank, the name under which you
know me is my own, and If you can show as
clean record Of your past as can OF mine
you are most unusual man"
He never referred to the subject again,
although he must have known that I was con-
cealing something. My contention was that
no one had the right to pTy into what chose
to keep secret, and that was the last time
that l was ever annoyed in that way.
New York took me at a very critical period
Of my life, sheltered me, and gave me my
profession. What she did for me she will
do for any other person who wishes to make
a fresh start in life, provided always, that
he is honestly willing to work and does not
seek to prey on society. Out Of experiences
during my life here comes the belief that IN
competence, laziness and disregard Of other
peoples rights are the chief reasons why so
many cries OF failure go up from this great
city.
Now, while New York served as an excel
lent hiding place for me, 1 don't believe that
a fugitive from justice would necessarily fare
as we'll.
If a person had committed a crime and was
trying to escape the law, 1 can imagine that
his manner would lack that confidence that
begets confidence. There must always be
certain amount Of shrinking, furtiye dread.
which would count against him IN any work
he undertook. I believe that for every hon

there is always some position waiting where
he or she can at least expect fair trial OF

VICTOR HERBERT'S
FAMOUS ORCHESTRA
HERE THIS EVENING
Miss Alice Eversman Will
Be Soloist at the
Belasco.

The engagement Of Victor Herbert
and his celebrated orchestra at the
, Belasco Theater tonight represents a
stroke of enterprise, which has an
element of especial interest to the pub
lie of this community. 1t is customary
to refer to an orchestral organiza ton
as appealing to the music loving pub
lic;" but Mr.. Herbert's appeal is TO
the public in its entirety, without much
reference TO distinctions of classical or
popular taste.
The universally of his appeal both
as an orchestra leader and as a COM
poser Is marvellous, perhaps anpreced-
ented, since 1t depends on no single
composition or group of compositions,
but on a constant outpouring of the
! purest melody from a seemingly mex
haustible source. He is the one COM
poser who is able to make legitima te
and even classical effects, more potent
in their appeal to the general ear, than
the Jingle of rag time. His skill is the
skill OF a master. his sympathy is sweet
ly, powerfully. and sincerely human.
Half hundred men will be assem-
bled at the Belasco tonight to respond
to the uplift of Herbert,s baton. All
will also be assisted by several soloists,
which include Miss Alice Eversman. so.
