Pedestrians Chords In "parsifal"

"Parsifal" there is a quotation from
it. When Gurnemanz is asking, "Bei
welchen Heiden Weiltest du, zu
wissen NIGHT, das heute der ALTAR
heiligste Charfreitag ist?'' as the last
three words are uttered the three
opening chords of the "Stabat Mater"
are heard in the orchestra.
Perhaps to signalize the release of
"Parsifal' from the chains of copy
right Messrs. Bell &, Son, of London,
the publishers of the renowned Bohn
Libraries, have just issued new
book about Wagner. This is by John It.
Runciman, the well-known London
critic, whose prejudiced and absurd
Judgment and ridiculous hatreds have
made him the laughing stock of all
clear minded and competent musical
writers. The last chapter of the book,
which is entitled Richard Wagner,
Composer of Operas" is entirely de-
voted to "Parsifal." 1t illustrates in
a remarkable manner the distorted
lens through which Mr.. Runciman
views all music. He says of "Parsi-
fal" that the motive is Remuneration.
Then, by way of showing how poorly
the music-drama indicates renuncia-
ton, he gives a burlesdue precis OF
the story, and asks: who renounces
anything? Who gains anything by

"The Mondrous Mife.n

This novel is one of that class of
medical fiction which has gained a
certain vogue, but which is certainly
not sanctioned either by the best
public taste or by the canons OF art.
Refined sentiment rebels at such flc-
ton and the professional man abhors
it. Moreover, in the case of the
"Wondrous Wife" the particular pro-
fessional problem involved is that
fearful, scourge Of humanity, loco
motor ataxia, which would best be
left to the clinic and the diagnos-
tician, for the mere sight Of Its VIC
Tins, struggling in the pitiless grasp
of death. Is enough for their fellow
human beings, without having the in
durable malady made the basis of the
theme of a work designed to relieve
the mind.
However, 'The Wondrous Wife" is
written with power and keen
knowledge OF human nature In fact,
as l turn Its pages l cannot but re-
member the sad case OF q brilliant
New York sports editor, who. stricken
in the very heydey of his fame and
usefulness, while yet q young man,
was saved from despair and self
destruction by his courageous little
wife, who, without a groan that her
husband cOulQ near, assumed the bur-
den Of caring for him and for herself
and her child.
The heroine OF "The Wondrous
| Wife," Margaret Lisle, is q woman
OF more than ordinary strength of
mind and independence Of spirit.
When she finds that her husband. a
successful playwright, is unfaithful to
her. she leaves him and she tells him
bluntly that though she might have
| forgiven his infidelity II he had ac-
knowledged that he was madly In
love with the woman who had tempt
ed him, she could not forgive the in
suit to her intelligence Involved in
the care which he had disseminated
| the fact of his liaison with a notable
actress for whom he had written a
| play, so that his intrigue might be
talked about in his polished but
cynical world.
Margaret takes refuge with a
brother, where she meets a civil en-
gineer whom she recognizes as a fu-
ture factor in her life. Her Fremont
ton proves to be true and she finds
| her affinity in the manly engineer.

Clerics of Newark Will Strive
IN 1914 to Unite Their
Folds.

The various leading clergymeu Of
Newark, of whatever denomination
have determined that the new year
shall be made notable ia the re-
ligious annals Of the city by a nearer
approach TO what is known as church
union. The idea is that better re
suits can be obtained, that more souls
can be saved, if the churches work
with one aim. each one striving with
all its strength, not alone for its own
growth, but for the united growth Of
Its neighbors, as one fold, under one
Divine Master.

renouncing? Or loses anything by re-
nouncing? And, above ALL what is
anyone called on to renounce?"
This is a fair example of the critical
style and content of the musical pro-
nunciamentoes of Mr.. Runcirnan.
His language, when he has taken a
dislike to person or to composition,
is not only supremacy foolish, but also
very unjust.
Nevertheless, in spite of his strict
ures on "ParsifaI," which does not
appeal to him-Mr. Runciman is a
profound admirer of the genius of
Wagner. In his book he declares that
the two works of the master which
are destined to live longest are Girls
tan" and die Meistersinger" In
this he is undoubtedly right. In
Tristan there are some of the
grandest passages in the whole range
of music and in die Meistersinger''-
Which L have before praised In these
columns-there is the very essence of
nature breathed in musical notes
Finally, the critic calls Wagner the
most stupendous parsonage of the
nineteenth century and adds tribute
to the generous 20 spirit of the COM
poser. This is another one of those ill
founded, personal judgments of Mr.
Runciman that call down upon his
head the ridicule of his fellows. Wag-
ner, according to the testimony of one
who lived with him for long time,
formerly a well known and now a
lamented New York editor, was so
mean that his very servants were ILL
provided with food.
Those who are interested in the
osophy, some notes on which appeared
in these columns last Saturday will
be interested also in "Prometheus, or
the Poem of Fire. of Scriabin, in
which the composer in musical num-
Lers sets forth his theosophical views.
These views are still further carried
out, so commentators on Scriabin's
music say, in "The Divine Poem.''
This, unlike "Prometheus," as music
may be understood and judged fairly.
And, it may be declared. as nHsic 1t
is interesting and worthy of the gem
ius of the author. In the work, as
has been said, there are passages of
great emotional beauty and themes
Of truly dramatic, musical quality.
! The only drawbacks Of the work are
the length. which, evidently, Scria bin
did not consider so long as he thought
he could unfold his peculiar faith,
and some of the themes are of inferior
value but all are developed and col
ored by the orchestration in a man.

Joseph H. Mathews Died Saturday
Afternoon Following an Illness
With Cancer.

Joseph H. Mathews, proprietor OF
the meat market in Blairsburg, pass
ed away Saturday afternoon at one

cancer. Mr.. Mathews was operated

people in this city and vicinity as
he visited here often, his wife be-
ing a daughter of Mrs. Hannah Bell,

States made into a whip of small
cords and with it drove out the
Spaniard from his last foot hold in
the temple of freedom in the west
and by hundreds of thousands they
died that this symbol Of peoples
freedom might endure even longer
than Washington's dream of thous-
and years.
You remember Lincoln's great
prayer on the field of Gettysburg? 1t
was the yearning of his big heart
that these might not have died in
vain. Institutions need graves for
their everlasting foundations. The
dead of this days holy memory split
not their blood upon southern fields
in vain. Their heroism settled for
ever the age-long dispute between
the Cavalier and the Roundhead, be-
tween the ideals of the old South
and the Pilgrim ideals of the North.
Democracy was on trial before the
eyes of the wide world. Men said
that a Republic could not become a
strong nation. Europe expected the
experiment of the United States to
ANONYMOUSLY fail. Hitherto in the
history of the world no Republic had
been much of a success. Republics
tended to become empires. Greek
Republics were small and insignifi-
cant until Alexander welded them
into a world-empire. Switzerland
has ever been so small that Europe
has ignored it. France has all the
time been on the edge of slipping
back into monarchy. The wide
world expected that the United
States would go to pieces, would be
wrecked by reason of the inherent
weakness of a people without king,
a state without an aristocracy.
The civil war established the re-
public. Without our knowing it,
our strife for great principles Great
ed us into a world power. 1t made
us a nation undivided and indivis-
ible. 1t established the reign of the
common people among the monarch
les Of the earth.
We are a Republic of peace. 1t
grows out of our national character
that in these days of threatened
war there is no clamor for war
heard in the land. The yellow press
yaps alone; the people do not re-
spond. We do not know whether
Old Glory will again fly over the
capitol at Mexico City-we hope
that it will not. But we do know
that our ideals are due to march
southwark, that peace and prosper
ity and Christian civilization will
cause to rejoice the republic of the
south. The nations of the earth are
coming to us through Ellis Island
and we are amalgamating their
polyglot polychrome humanities.
Through the modern missionary, the
United States mail, we are going to
the ends of the earth preaching the
of a Christian Repub-
lie. Our truth is marching on!
