SCHE[[ING PROVES
HIMSELF MASTER
Of P|ANOFO
His Concert in Columbia Thea
ter One of Musical Treats of
the Season.

The seeming slight figure of Ernest
Schelling. pianist. when seated at his
instrument on the stage of the CO.
lumbia Theater yesterday afternoon,
gave little indication of the enormous
power concentrated in the long sensi-
tive fingers. 1t looked almost impos-
sible for SO slight frame to give
evidence of such repressed power in
the Sonata, B minor. of Chopin, which
was the first number. This number
was played almost as a unit, the only
pause coming after the first move
ment. -
Although the intellectual ability and
perfect technique OF the player were
to be sensed from the first, II was not
until after the swift and dexterousiy
executed presto non tanto when the
tall man has risen from the piano,
that one was able to realize what the
two coming Liszt numbers would be.
Two nocturnes. two etudes. the bar
carole, and the familiar Ballade in A
fiat. were the second group of Chopin
numbers, the A fiat Etude; Op. 25 No.
being played as an encore. Sane
ness Of Interpretation and an abso-
lutte absence of mawkishness or SEN
timentality made the Chopin numbers
seem more representative Of intellec-
tual powers than real poetic feeling,
but any doubts Of the artist in Schell-
ing were obliterated after the per-
formance of the Grande Sonata, which
marked the first Of the four Liszt
numbers.
After the crashing climax wrought
up with rare judgment. the return
to the theme was highly dramatic,
and possessed a nobility and dignity
not often realized
The Liszt group closed with "Au Lac
Du Wallenstadt," Chant Polonaise, and
the twelfth Rhapsodie. substituted for
the Polonaise. The last. with its run
ming accompaniment Of octaves in the
right hand was played with fire and
great energy.

VENlSON MAY REPLACE BEEF
Possibility of Using Reindeer fox
Beef in Alaska Is Being Thor
oughlY Investigated.

1t may be that the purchase Of a
reindeer steak or roast will be posi-
Bile not very long hence in almost any
meat market in the United States and
that venison, now reserved for the
wealthy, will be within the reach of
every family.
Reindeer are multiplying so rapidly
on government lands in Alaska that
T. N. Conway, manager in the north
west for Armour & Co, has gone to
Alaska to investigate the possibility
of shipping the meat to the United
States. Before going Mr.. Conway said
the suggestion of using the reindeer as
a food supply was made by govern
ment representatives to ]. Ogden Ar
mour. Mr.. Armour believed that, with
the existing transportation facilities, it
would not be possible to sell the meat
at retail in eastern cities for less than
rs cents a pound. He referred the
question to Mr. Conway, however.
Mr.. Conway is investigating along
the arctic circle and along the shores
Of the Boring sea north of Nome,
where the herds are increasing very
rapidly. 1t is his opinion that rein
deer, caribou and other animals thriv-
ing in the great open regions of north
ern Alaska and Canada will become an
important factor in Americas meat
supply as soon as railways have been
extended farther into that territory.
