Ban on Last
Book StirS
Hall Game

The sensation which the publica-
ton of Hall Gaines new novel, THE
Woman Thou Gavest Me-" created
in England when the libraries there
refused to supply 1t is being repeat
ed in this country. The Mercantile
Library, of Philadelphia, has definite
" barred the book from its shelves
and other libraries have stated their
intention to do likewise. The book is
now the centre of heated controversy
and is being violently attacked and
as vigorously defended.
Everywhere that books are read
1.-THE Woman Thou Gavest Me"
seems to be the sole subject of dis
cussion, which resolves itself down
to the question, What constitutes an
immoral novel? Hall Game, who ex-
poets to visit America shortly, will
no doubt have much to say on the
question when he arrives. The fol-
lowing letter from him was received
by his publishers and illumines the
subject:
ST am quite panied and surprised
to hear that a number of American
libraries have placed a ban on my
latest book, 1.-THE Woman Thou
Gavest Me" and have called it an
immoral Idle despite the IuoTdi les
son that I desired to teach.
zone of the grievous errors of
many people is to assume that if a
book contains scenes of immortality
1t is an immoral book. That is by
no means so. 1t is wrong to con-
clude that because you see in a book
bad people or wicked scenes that the
book itself is necessarily bad and
wicked. Unhappily. there are many
bad people and wicked scenes in life.
and to write them in the right way
may be the most moral thing an au-
thor can do.
Behind any book is the man who
wrote 1t and If he is a man of pure
aims, and at the same time true
artist he can teach powerful lesson
by an intimate study of any side of
life, no matter how disgusting and
revolving it may seem. Therefore.
when a novel, written out of a clean
heart, attempts to deal with some of
the vital moral problems which affect
the lives Of the young and old of
both sexes (however outspoken It
may be within tho limits OF decency)

Too Old to Lover Never:

It has been said that there was
never a successful novel without a
love affair. The love affairs OF fic-
ton are to real life love affairs what
the ballet dancers dress is to the
street costume. In Calling the
Tune" Justin Huntley Mccarthy has
selected a situation which occurs in
life-an odd situation, but a not in
frequent one. 1t is that of a man
of fifty who falls in love with the
girl of eighteen-September in love
with Springtime.
The hero of calling the Tune" is
successful man who has never had
time to cultivate women and who at
fifty years now relaxes and resumes
his youth. And here is the adventure
and piquancy of the story: this vet
eran man of the world has to outwit
a rival who is twenty-five-a situa-
ton with which middle-aged men
should sympathize. Messrs. Doran,
New York. are the publishers.

This Country
Leads in Its
Organ Music
Distinguished New York Organ
ist Says Europe Is Far Be-
hind America.

DIR. william c. Carl. the distin-
guished organist of the First Presby-
terrain Church, of New York city, has
written an article on the activity of
organists and organ students in the
United States. 1t is of particular in
terest in this city where many or
ganists of high rank as musicians
are heard every Sunday. One of
these. the organist of the First Pres
byterian Church, in Broad street, is
as well known in Manhattan as he is
in Newark. as the concert master of
the Wanamaker Auditorium.
There is added interest. also, in
what DR.. Carl says, inasmuch as ne
practically confirms my assertion in
the Evening Star last week that in
no country in the world is music bet
ter understood or appreciated. In
part, here is what DR.. Carl says:
THE activity of organists and or
gan students in the United States of
America today is without parallel in
any part of the world. Where can
one have the opportunity of attend
Ing from six to eight organ recitals
in a single week, and not only one
but for several weeks in succession
during the musical season in the city
of New York.
ut Is a remarkable achievement
and deserves more than passing no.
tice. The American public is fond
of organ music. This has been proved
over and again. Until within few
years the organ was considered TO be
intended solely for the church serv-
ice. We now find the instrument in
our concert and municipal halls, thea
tres, hotels, department stores and
still nearer, in many private resi-
dences from Maine to California.
Europe is beginning to wake up
and take notice of us, and well they
may, for one finds no such demand
for the organ or organ music in the
old world today. England, for in
stance, can boast of many great or
gans, In the cathedrals and concert
halls; so can France. Germany,
Switzerland, Austria, Hungary Spain.
Italy and Russia have less, but in
many instances fine organs. When
can you hear them? On the continent
rarely outside of the regular church
service, with the exception of
Switzerland, where a large number
are played during the summer season
for the tourists. England and France
have more, but, although many of the
worlds greatest artists are there, the
opportunity of hearing them at fire.
quent intervals during the week is
not as great as here.
1.-THE number of organ students in
America at the present time is legion,
and many possess talent OF no mean
order. 1t should not be inferred that
New York city is the only place to
hear recitals, but in all our large
cities, and as we'll as in numerous
towns throughout the country, the
demand is growing, and both resi-
dent, as well as visiting organists, are
being heard.
81 have often observed in small
towns and remote cities that a Bach
fugue would be the piece de resist
ance,' and the only number encored
during the course of a recital. This
speaks well for the intelligence and
musical taste so rapidly being de-

They played SO softly several airs
And kept such perfect time.
Most half asleep. I heaved a sign.

Unusual happenings occur,
Considered strange or new;
The scenery is always full
OF grass and trees, or corn;
The night steals on us still and dark,
Then comes the same old morn.

I thought how quite superb
'Twould be to know the babblings
OF each blossom, bug and bird:
And what a treat TO listen sharp
To all the creatures small,
Who have such gay and frisky times
Behind our old gray wall.

Memoirs of a Singer.

Clara Louise Kellogg, once the
leading American prima donna of
her day, is about to write her me-
moirs. Miss Kellogg, if she will,
can tell many interesting reminis-
cences. She was not only a gifted
and favorite artist, but her beauty
and charming personality made her
social belle as well. In the SOS.
indeed before the civil war, Miss
Kellogg was a pet of the officers at
West Point, which was at that time
far more of a social resort than 1t
is now. The commandant of the
post was then Colonel Boynton, a
brother of the aged bishop whom
the Evening Star the other day re-
ported as dying. Colonel Hardee,
afterward General Hardee, of the
Confederate army, was also promi-
nently in evidence at the post.
At that time no one among the
ladies at West Point received more OF
the marked attention which United
States army officers so well know
how to give to beautiful women than
Miss Kellogg. She was, indeed, the
unrivaled attraction, also, among the
gallant cadets, many of whom after
ward either died on the field of bat
tie or returned from the civil conflict
covered with laurels forever to be
cherished by their descendants.
But Miss Kellogg had one rival, the
beautiful Miss McHarg, member of a
distinguished American family and
upon her and the diva centred the
attentions of an officer destined to
be soon the friend and favorite of
General Grant. and, later. the most
distinguished and most popular am
bassador that America ever sent to
France This was Horace Porter,
who. with the hapless, Inflated and
disgraced Babcock, was the trusted
aide of Grant.
General Porter. as a young officer,
was as distinguished as a wooer of
the favor of women as he was in later
days as a POSTMASTER and after
dinner speaker.
Horace Porter, then lieutenant,
paid devoted court to Miss Kellogg.
but Miss McHarg was deeply smitten
and there was a fierce rivalry. Miss
Kellogg was not. naturally. a fighter,
but the attack of her rival was so
open, so determined, that she was
obliged to take the offensive; and. by
a doubtless wise provision of nature,
even the most timid of women will
fight and fight hard where male is
concerned.
The fate of the battle was long in
doubt, but, finally, beauty, grace and
vocal charm, routed wealth and bold
assault

When rates are changed in one
state, the through rate between a
point in that state to a point in an
adjoining state cannot be changed
