In writing of the Jews l recall
these memories of members of the
race, They stamp the character of
the Jewish people. Bacon, In his
profound precious work, the "Ad-
vaneement of Learning" says:
History of times represented the
magnitude of actions. and the public
faces and departments of persons,
and passeth over in silence the
smaller passages and motions of men
and matters. But such being the
workmanship of God, as He doeth
hang the greatest weight upon the
smallest wires, maxina minimis
suspenden, il comes, therefore. to pass.
that such histories do rather set
forth the pomp of business than the
true and inward resorts thereof. But
lives, if they be well written. pro-
pounding to themselves a person to
represent, in whom actions both
greater and smaller, public and pri-
Nate. have commiXture, must of
necessity contain more true, native
and lively representation"
Thus it is in writing of the affairs
and progress of the Jewish race
Their history, their persecution for
ages, their steadfast courage and de,
votion shine forth more clearly when
one thinks of individuals than when
the mind considers only the mighty
events recorded in their annals.

Chantilty
Art Shrine
of France

This picture of the builder of the
fetit Chateau, at Chantilly, proves
In some sense how splendid a charac-
ter was the historic Connetable, Anne
de Montmorency. The Connetable, or
Constable, was the chosen and init
mate friend of the beautiful Diane de
Poictiers, the mistress of Henry II.
1t is appropriate that the portra'
OF the Constable should be given with
the review of the work of Louise NJ
Richter, "Chantilly in History and
Art" which is declared to be the
most grandlv conceived description
of the treasures of Chantilly ever
published. This great museum, the
pride Of France. is surrounded by
beautiful, ancient forest growth of
miles in extent. or such of it as the
revolution left, and it is but a little
over half an hour from Paris.
But, above all. the splendid chateau,
the gift TO the nation of the Due
d Aumale, is the supreme attrction,
not only to Frenchmen, but to lovers
of art and antiquity from all parts
of the civilized world. There. are
some traces of the restoration which
the Due d'Aumale found it necessary
to make in the chateau, but. prac-
tically, the building is as it was in
feudal times. Its art treasures are
acknowledged by connoisseurs TO be
unrivaled Indeed, they were gath

Memories of q Duel.

Contrary to its usual custom, that of
printing all the principal facts, in the
lives of those whose obituary notices
it prints, the New York Herald, Just
before the birth of the new year, pub
lished an obituary of a physician, DR..
Charles Phelps, without giving any
of the details of his career, though
these were of nature to stir interest
in the minds of the survivors of the
last generation, and especially in the
heart of the owner of the Herald, Mr..
James Gordon Bennett.
When the duel between Mr. Ben
nett and Mr.. Frederick May was
fought, many years ago, DR.. Phelps
was present as surgeon for whomso-
ever of the principals should have
the misfortune to be wounded in the
hostile meeting, and the natural de-
sire of Dr. Phelps to be of service to
his friends, Messrs. Bennett and MAY,
reacted upon his career, for the feel
ing in the city was strongly against
him for being present at the duel.
Notwithstanding that the veil of a
humanitarian design would seem to
have shielded him from censure.
The County Medical Society, with
the usual charitable instinct of such
societies, considered the advisablity
of bringing DR.. Phelps before it on
the disciplinary carpet
DR.. Phelps, in his day, was regard
ed as rather a fashionable doctor,
and his patients included many per-
sons in the ranks of the Four Hun
bred of today.
1t may be stated that not alone the
Herald, but every other paper in New
York, neglected to mention the duel
in their notices of the physicians

Disclosure of Circumstances That Link the Genius of Richard
Wagner With This City, in Which Once Tarried the Wom-
Whose Beauty Gave Ris to the Tone Poem.

composer DR.. Richter; the pupil OF
Wagner, Hans Won Bulow, and his
wife, afterwards Cosima Wagner, the
Legitimate daughter of the Able
List. Wagner's one lifelong friend,
Into this brilliant circle was sud
denly introduced Otto Wesendonk
and his wife. 1t was heaven to the
young woman and the husband was
forgotten in the radiant glory OF an
artist. the composer who had re-
created Siegfried and Wotan and
Brunnhilde.
The maiden name of Mathilde was
Lukomaeir. She was the daughter
Of wealthy silk manufacturer of
Mannheim. She had met Otto Wesen-
donk, the son of another silk manu-
faeturer after he had become a
wdower. This was about the time
when the silk manufacturing indus
try was inaugurated in New jersey,
and Otto was sent to America as a
superintendent of the German silk
interests in Paterson.
Buys the Pen In Newark.
In Newark Madame Wesendonk
saw for the first time a gold pen.
She bethought herself that Wagner
was constantly complaining of his
quilts, and she incontinently procured
a gold pen and sent it to the MASTER;
and. as Hans Won Bulow averred,
later. with this pen was the score OF
Tristan written.
1t remains for the keen reader who
may have enough interest in the sub
iect to find in what Newark shop
the pen was purchased, and in what
home in the city the Wesendonks
found a refuge.
Tristan" expresses clearly the
passion which Wagner conceived for
Mathilde Wesondonk. 1t is the most
musical, certainly. of Wagner's tone
dramas. There is some dilatoriness
of dramatic movement, but this was
because Wagner was so anxious to
express the full psychological signifi-
canoe of every ecene that at times he
unduly prolongs the situation until
the orchestra has had it's say.
The whole composition. as one has
said, is as full of melody as Romeo
and Juliet" 1t is all set in one mood
the love of man for woman. 1t Is
passion. but 1t is passion idealized.

Rev. DIR. Lusk, OF the First Presby

the Metropolitan Church Extension
Society, were figures showing the
proportion of pupils of alien races.
In the classes there were found no
Jews.
I'VE do not seek to enlist the
Jews" he answered, lin our classes.
They are well taken care of by their

The same thing can be said of de-
pendent Israelites of all ages.
Some years ago there lived in an
apa rtment IN the Nineties in Manhat-
tan a friend of my own, reviewer
of oriental and reconcile philosophi-
cal works for distinguished eve
ming paper in the metropolis. This
gentleman had two daughters who
lived in an atmosphere of learning
and literature. Their father had in
his apartment something over ten
thousand volumes of ancient and
modern literature. One of the ladies

German physician. who won the
highest honors in a German uni-
versity, is the husband OF one of the
daughters of the late Isidor Straus

woman whose words as she refused to
be parted from her husband on the
sinking Titanic, started an echo OF
admiration which was heard around
the world.

they defy the excruciating physical
anguish; scorhed they rise and point
to their triumphs In war, in art,
science and literature. Facing the
Kapell-Meister in music, he finds that
they need no particular exhaustive
training; their temperament is an in
heritance, their souls are stirred at
each strain, harmony is in their
hearts, 1t is a tradition, inspired,
chastened, softened by long centuries
of oppression. If one asks what is
their record in affairs, one has but
to point to any great monetary CAPT
tai of the world: it will be found,
that Jew controls its finance; 1t is
enough to say that a Rothschild or
Belmont or a Vischer leads. Go to
Americas own metropolis and ask
who is the revered dean of the science
of medicine: the reply Is Jew,

men in his profession pay homage.
Ask who is the greatest living ac-

in the past easily first in the ranks

Go again to the American metropo-
lis and inquire of the charities au-
thorities what is the hospital regard
ed as the model for efficiency and en-
lightenment. The answer will be,
Mount Sinai, an institution entirely
under Jewish control.
Again, ask what is the most pros
porous, perhaps the best, newspaper
in New York. The reply will be, The
New York Times, a paper owned by
a Jew. Indeed, the story of the
resurrection of the journal which
fought the arch-robber Tweed to the
death, is as remarkable as anything
in the annals of the Jews of this day.
When Adolph Ochs came to New
York he bought paper which was

STRANGE are the circumstances
- which in minor degree link the
genius and name of Wagner with the
city of Newark. In a shop in the New
Jersey metropolis was purchased
gold pen with which "Trist an that
glorious music drama, or hymn to
love, was written. Here for some time
lived the woman, whose beauty was
the inspiration of the beautiful mas
terpiece.
Wagner had long brooded over the
poem of Tristan before he finally
composed it. The spur which at last
moved him was applied in Zurich One
morning there called at THE Re
treat his home in the Swiss city, a
stranger, who announced himself as
an emsary from the Emperor of Bra
I'll. Dom Pedro. The stranger offered
Wagner his own terms if he would
compose an opera for the theatre at
Rio. Greatly astonished al an offer,
as mysterious as the proposal once
made to Mozart for a requiem, Wag
ner heSitated before he gave a final
answer, but the suggestion crystallized
his resolve to finish Tristan The
final notes, however, were written in
Lyons.
Zurich, then. as now, the most hos
pitable refuge in Europe for political
malContents, had become the home of
Wagner when he was exiled from
Saxony and all Germany. 1t had been
suggested by List, through whose in
fuential aid Wagner succeeded in
getting there.
Republican at Heart
Wagners exile was due to the part
he took in the Revolutionary move
ment of 1s4S. Always a Republican
at heart. his mind was stirred to dis
content of a burning personal nature
by his long years of disappointment
and poverty before his final triumph.
And Zurich was to be the point of
departure of Wagner in a new drama
of his life, for it was there that he
met Mathilde Wesendons, the real
inspiration of Tristan the Isolde
of the drama, with Wagner as the
hero, and the woman's husband, Otto
Wesendonk, as King Marke.
With Wagner at Zurich a delight
full circle had formed, including the

Its RiUQI
Beaten i'm
Opera War

The debacle of Oscar Hammerstein
was carefully yelled under labored
statement made in his behalf some
days ago. This was to the effect that
he could not give opera in New York
this season as it was found to be
impossible 10 complete his great
opera house in Lexington avenue.
To the initiated this was significant.
v spelled the triumph of the Metro
politan Opera Company in its plan
of campaign to prevent Mr.. Hammer
stein from giving opera this year If
the courts should give him any loop
hole out OF which to break loose from
the restrictions of his contract with
the Metropolitan.
This plan of campaign, ! am sure,
was suggested by William Guard,
now chief resident agent of the Met
ropoltan Company in New York, and
formerly. for many years, press
agent for Mr.. ammerstein. No man
knows Mr.. 1ammerstein better than
the astute and charming Mr.. Guard.
To this gentleman it was apparent
that nothing could avert the danger
which Mr.. Hammerstein's project
threatened TO the Metropolitan ex-
cept a plan that would place an in
his way. The law had no terrors for
him. but, argued Mr.. Guard. il dan
2erous third rival. one who could be
aided by the resources of the wealthy
Metropolitan directorate, should on
ter the field. then. perhaps. Mr.. Ham
merstein might acknowledge defeat.
This plan has succeeded and the
Metropolitan has won its first real
victory in its long war with the
famous entrapreneur. How was it
won?
The basis of the plan adopted was,
as it We're, flung right into the hands
of the Metropolitan by those skirm-
ishers on the outskirts of the operate
field, the Messrs. Aborn. In helping
them the Metropolitan knew that the
Century Theatre opera could never
be a rival to be feared. None OF
the efforts of the Aborns, it was well
understood, would win on their merits
always meagre. New York and its
critics, it was quite clearly recog-
nized, would only regard the Aborns
as some Insignificant interlopers, try
ing to gain few dollars in the
metropolis.
Thus it was that the Metropolitan,
with the generosity of the Greeks
bearing gifts, poured out money and
accessories to launch the Aborn ag-
gregation, with its astute principals
and its poor, misguided artists.
For the first time in it's history the
Metropolitan allowed pieces of it's
scenery to be transported to a rival
theatre; for the first time it permitted
subordinates to make important sug-
gestions to a rival stage manager and
scenic artist; in fine, the Metropolitan
was prop to the Aborns, without
which they could not have opened
their season.
Thus it was that the great Hamer-
stein met defeat.
