Sibelius, the Com
poser, to Conduct
His Own Work
at Norfolk.

Carl Stoeckel the munihcent patron of
tho Ntchfeld County (Conn) Music Fes-
rivals, which are given every June In his
Music She'd at Norfolk. will entertain
Jean Sibelius. chief representative OF Fin
nish music, and one Of the foremost COM
posers OF the day. at the festival which
is TO be held next week. Mr.. Sibelius TOOK
passage for New York from Bremen last
Tuesday and is expected TO arrive here
on the same day of this week. At Nor
folk he will conduct an orchestral work
OF his composition. His name has been
a familiar one on New York's concert
programmes since the beginning OF 1907
when symphonic poem or Legend for
Orchestra" as he calls 1t. entitled Lem
minkainen kehret Heimwarts" was played
at a concert of the Philharmonic Society
conducted by Emil Paur. Since then all
of his symphonies four In number. have
had hearing. the second more than once
and Maud Powell has carried his violin
concerto TO the chief musical cities OF the
country. besides playing It twice at Phil
harmonic concerts. Among his other
works which have been played by the
philharmonic. Symphony, Russian and
Boston orchestras are 'Finlandia," "Valse
romantique," "valse triste," En- Saga"
"a Song OF Spring" the overture
"Karelia." and some incidental music to
a drama entitled king Christian II.
Sibelius is regarded not only by the
Firms but also by musical people all over
the world as the greatest living Finnish
composer. He was born in Tavastehus,
Finland. on December s, 1866. and as a
boy took up the study of the violin. Hav-
ing acquired what would be called here
grammar school education, he matricu-
lated at the university with the intention
of making the law his profession, but
soon abandoned the idea and devoted him
self TO music. He first betook himself to
the music school of Martin Wigelius. In
Helsingfors. studied in 1889 and 1890 I'M
der Albert Becker in Berlin and went
for finishing touches TO Fuchs and Cold
mark in Vienna. He then made his home
in Helsingfors where, aided by stipend
from the Russian government. we believe
he has since iabored with great industry
as conductor and composer. AT the out
set his music. especially the two SYM
phonic poems 'Lemminkainen" and The
Swan Of Tuonela" for whose poetcal ma
terial he went to the Finnish national
epic. "Kalevalai." reflected some Of the
spirit Of his country's folkmusic, but his
fourth symphony, which was played at
Symphony Society concert under the d.
rection Of Walter Damrosch a year ago
last March. proved to be futuristic In the
extreme. and left many Of his admirers
utterly at sea concerning his purposes
When Maud Powell played Sibelius's
violin concerto for the first time In Boston
the music stirred Philip Hale into some
thing nearer rhapsody than we can re-
call coming from his discriminating pen.

TORPEDOED BUT
KEPT HIS MONEY
UNCLE OF MITCHELL MAN WAS
HEAD GUNNER ON BRITISH
WARSHIP HERMES.

SN +. - A'LIE~T1.EH .aErH-Hr
Frederick Arundel, head gunner
on the British warship "Hermes,"
destroyed by a German submarine in
the English channel on November /,
Is an uncle of c.. III. Arundel, 202
North Main street. His story of the
affair was SEN to Mr.. Arundel recent
ly by other relatives. Their letter
follows:
"T1ave you heard how Fred had a
sea bath on Saturday morning last?
He came up from Chatham on Sun
day and told me all about it and jolly
glad / was to see him looking SO fat
and we'll. You know he was on the
Hermes and they had gone over to
| Dunkirk and Friday after coaling at
Dover.
sHowever, they started for Dover
and when about a third of the way
across bang went a torpedo into their
stern. This blew away the propeller
and made a nasty cash. Fred was
below at the time but dressed. Time,
$50 a.. N.
The ship began to settle down at
the stern, but maintained an even
keel. There were two Long planks
| aboard used for seaplanes and these
were got over the side for non-swim-
mers, also some hundreds of empty
petrol tins, tied together in groups as
lifebuoys. While~this was going on
Fred noticed the d~estroyers putting
out from Dover to their assistance.
He was convinced that he was go-
| ing ashoresin one piece and sudden
ly thought his first duty would be to
telegraph to Kate to let her know
he was safe when he got ashore. All
! his money had been handed to a
| mess-matesswho kept it in a cash
| box down below. So off he goes to
| get it, gets a can opener and rips the
cash box open. Bang another torpedo
This time it was much serious
and Fred went up on deck in record
/, time.
.The noise of escaping steam and
| general confusion made it impossible
Ito hear anyone speak. The destroy
! ers were getting neare however, and
as Fred did not want to be in the
water longer than he could help, he
remained aboard. When he saw the
foremost destroyer about 400 yards
away he rolled down his chin-straps
land plunged in. He was in the water
(25 minutes and war very tired when
picked up, but still had on his hat
and his uniform.
"The officers gave them whiskey
and change of vests and they were
landed at Dover and sent on tc
| Chatham. His mate was picked uI
by another destroyer and he did not
see him until they reached Chatham
After congratulating each other, Fred
handed him his money. His mess
mate nearly fainted!"
