Swiss Musical Festival.

E Z h I
Inc Berlin correspondent for The
Musical Courier, in part had the fol-
lowing to say of one of the many
festivals held in Germany and the
provinces every occurring spring:
The Fatherland is always blessed
with music festivals every spring, but
this year there have been an unusually
large number because of the Emperor S
Jubilee. The fourteenth annual Swiss
Music Festival was held this year at
ST. Gallen on June IA and 15.5 Prac-
tically every musician of Switzerland
was present and there was also a large
attendance from Germany. These an
nual Swiss festivals are given for the
purpose of Introducing new work by
Swiss composers. No less than forty
novelties by twenty five different COM
posers were heard.
Rudolph CAM, who has become such
g favorite in America through his re-
cent tour, also figured on the pro-
grarlme. CAM, assfis we'll known, is a
native Of Zurich and he regularly
spends his summers on the shores Of
a big hit. He also PLAYED q prelude
and serenade BY Emil Blanchet and a
piece entitled "soir p1livieux, by Jose
Bsrr. A symphony In A major for
orchestra and chorus, by Hans Huber,
proved to be problematical music. II

the way he and his musicians over

STILWELL IN SING SING,

AS the gates of Sing Sing closed on
Stilwell, did the. convicted Senator
dwell for moment on the opportuni-
ties for good in this world he had lost
by falling a victim to the great lure
Of many legislators-money?
Six months ago he was a respected
member of the highest law-making
body in New York. He had outlived a
couple Of shady f1ecks on an other
wise decent life record. The party to
which he belonged was in power all
over the country. A career of decency,
dignity and prosperity was before him.
All was shattered when the tempta-
ton to acquire money dishonesty
overcame him, and now, broken
man, he faces the fearful four years
in Sing Sing that will brand him as
an alien among his fellows to the end
of his days.

Arnold on that cruel winters march
through the woods of Canada and in
the Christmas ~storming of Quebec.
where Montgomery fell immortal
that Valor which nerved Andrew Jack
son and his raw militia on the ever
glorious Sth of January, when they
humoleds to the very dust the tower

upon whose rdominions the sun never

OF the peninsula, who had snatched
from Napoleon's brow the iron crown

Buena Vista, Cherebusco and
Chapultepec, filled the world with it's
renoWn-that valor which wrote Dayy
Crocket's name above Leonidas and
made the Alamo another shrine for

land as with a wall Of fire forbidding
all the nations of the earth to touch
the ark of American liberty lest they
die. Cailouss indeed must. be the man
who cannot find something to admire
in the colossal benignaht character Sof
Abraham Lincoln or in the splendid
career of Robert. e. Lee. q
"The soldiers of the north and the
soldiers of the south were American
freeman all fighting like heroes for
what they considered right; as such

And Glory guards with solemn round
The bivoulacl of the dead

ABsURDITIEs OF THE LAW.

Every once in awhile something
bobs up to emphasize the folly of leg
islators, state and national. Two of
these instances were reported in the
dispatches the past week. and it is
rather hard to determine just which of
them is the worst.
The first of these relates to the hold
ing up by the customs authorities at
Philadelphia Of an urn containing the
ashes of woman who died and was
cremated in Germany. She had for
merly lived in New York, her husband
Is buried there, and her last wish was
that her remains should rest beside
his. The federal officials have refused
to permit the ashes to be taken off the
vessel on which they arrived until a
valuation can be put upon them for
the purpose of collecting a. tariff tax
Perhaps some Of those wiseacres lono
known to fame as "Philadelphia law
yers' can aid the United States in GET
tlng at the worth of a corpse when re-
duced to dust by fire.
The other eXemplifcation of red
tapes tangle comes from Wisconsin.
It appears that a recently enacted law
OF that state provides that nobody can
get married there unless the consent
OF at least one of the contracting mar
ties parents is given. The first of
Cuplds victims to run foul of this
statute was man of Sc years and a
woman Of "a who is a grandmother

etency on the part OF employees entel
largely into the cause, for which tflt
railroad Is responsible, and on the par
of the public 1t would seem that negli-
gence disregard Of rules, regulations
and common sense contribute in part
toward creating the conditions thai
have made possible the great loss ot
life.
Probably legal restraints on the pub
lie relating to trespass on railroad
property would prevent much of the
injury and death to people other than
passengers and employees, and the rem
edy which probably should be applied
by the railroads is reduction of speed,
employment Of more and better sys-
TENS and appliances. t
While the public are demanding that
the railroads do everything in their
power for the protection Of the public,
1t should also do everything in it's
power to prevent suicidal acts. This
should be done by the enactment and
enforcement Of laws that will keep
people off the railroads except at
crossings.

The Theatres
FULL WEEK OF FUN.

A great bill is the one for the week
OF July II at the Crpheum and it has
been we'll selected by Manager. Fowler.
for there are all kinds of acts that
VIII be bound to please every theatre
patron. For the first half the Walling-
ton Trio, known as the Cabaret Boys,
Will be on hand with their neat and
unique act that has been all the rage
In the east, and will please here.
Then there are Nichols & Nichols, the
we'll known and great acrobats in
comedy stunts that will be found to
be all right. There will also be Musi-
cal Webster, who, has a fine musical
turn that will be sure to be pleasing.
Clark & Adler, who have a refined
singing, talking and dancing oddity,
Will also be one of the big acts, for
they are fine and have some good COM
edy in addition. There are always the
welcome talking pictures and the great
orpheumscope moving pictures and
other acts.
For the last half of the week there
is also fine bill. which has for a
l1eadliner, the Great Rapoli & Co.. in
the greatest Of all European acts,
which consists Of sensational and com
edy juggling and is sure to prove a
winner, for it's fine work. There Is
the Greater City Comedy -Four, com
edy quartette that makes good music
and plenty of fun and will be most
pleasing. There Is delightful Hannah
Leach, who has a clever single turn
sketch and is very fine dancer.
There are also Asf1by & Brownie, in
their more than neat comedy singing,
dancing and talking turn, that will be
sure to please everybody. They are
two great bills and added to the talk
ing pictures and the 0rpheumscope
make up a bill that will be hard to
pictures and the Coscio orchestra
beat.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Embarrassment of Poetry,

Something in the attitude of the Am
erican people toward the White House
pTedlsposes them to smile whenever
the muses. are called upon to grace
functions in the executive mansion
president, like Mr.. Cleveland and
now like Mr.. Wilson, who can endure
unperturbed, the most vigorous as
saults upon his position, may well
enough quail before the poetical flights
of his friends.
The rest of us may wonder, for ex-
ample, what thought the DISTINGUISHED
doctor of letters and former president
OF Princeton had when he read in cold
type of the daily newspaper these
lines:
Sweet pink clover blooms over the
grass,
Welcome the lover here with his lass,
Pride of the golden hair and eyes, =
Blue with the luminous hue of the
skies,
Blessed are you who true love win,
Jessie, come in, come in
Well we will hope Miss Jessie real
~ comes in, we will hope that her
father may not suffer the embarras ss-
ment which Miss Rose Cleveland put
upon her dignified and rather austere
prother when that lady of letters di-
rected the social life of the White
House. We can imagine with what
sensations a group of typical ladies
Of the senate and ladies Of the house
would hear Miss Cleveland remark
pleasantly:
L wish that l could observe Wash
lngton life in its political phase; but
suppose l am too near the center
to get an accurate perspective of it.
Those who live on Mt. Athos do not
see Mt. Athos."
This lady, however, was poetical but
not a poet. She interspersed her con-
versation with classical quotations. In
volume of criticism, George Elliot's
Poetry and Other Studies" she indulg-
ed her fondhess for quoting from the
poets so far that in comparatively
small volume a reference from Long
fellow appeared three times with a
serious difference between two of the
VeTstonS). Again, she quotes Shakes
peare as saying: "All the worlds a
stage and men and women are the
actors" And as an offset to her broth
er's embarrassment, she had the sat
isfaction of seeing her book go through
twelve editions within a year and of
receiving more than $4,000 in royal
ties
- The, old saying: "Oh that mine enc
my would write a book" needs amend
ment. 1t should read these days: "Oh
that mine eneTny's friends, like Silas
Wegg, would drop into poetry"
