Maud Powell ExpIodes FaIlacy
About It Being Especially
MANS instrument"

Mischa Elman's playing of the
Dvorak Humoresque is famous wher-
ever the sign "His Masters Voice"
has been seen, and though made saw
orless, sometimes, by oyerniuch repeti-
ton, is still thing of exquisite beau.
ty.
Fritz Kreisler has taken the same
score, and given us an altogether diff
ferent humoresQue, one which, in the
opinion of many critics, places him Sc
curely as greater musician than Ell
man, if not a greater Violinist, in the
technical sense.
Nine. Maude Powell, last night at
the Hawaiian Opera House, played
that same Humoresque, and made it
seem not the same. ExquiSitely beau
tiful, yes, as is Elman's; with an emo
tional appeal as great as that with
which Kreisler ifnbues the melody
but with an appeal of a different quail
ity is Nine. Powell's rendition.
Though her Interpretation is SO dis
tinctly different from that of the two
great men yiolinists, the fact that it
is different is no dctraction, but rath-
or gives the final quietus to the old
fallacy that the violin is a mans in.
.strument."
That is, perhaps, one of the chief
charms of Maud Powell's playing, that
she does not try to force a masculine
note, but plays with rare and line
womanliness-7 feminine touch, with
no hint of effeminacy.
f.. .
Mozart,s Concerto A major, opened
the program, of which the second
movement seemed the most appreciat-
ed by responsive audience that near
.ly filled the Opera House, and was
never niggardly with its applause. A
Grieg Sonata, G minor-Inajor, OPP. b.,
was the second number, selection
rarely attempted with success, but
which is most akin to the Peer Gynt
Suite of anything that Grieg ever
wrote. An eery strain recurs from
time to time which stamps the entire
composition not only as of Scandina-
Wan origin, but as Enthusiastically one
of Grieg's works when he was at his
best.
Three dances made up the third,

Arthur Loesser. the pianist, then
played group of four solos, three of
them sparkling, almost flashy compo-
sitions, and the fourth Chopin's Ber-
ceuse, which alone was largely res
ponsible for the insistent applause
which drew from him an encore.
After the fifth and last number
Nine. Powell was induced to give a
farewell encore, much of which was
by the violin unsustained by the pia-
no, and graciously included in the
medley an arrangement of Aloha De- -

In her interesting volumes, in which she records
delightfully."- many phases of New Yo:k's his
tory, Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer, mentions
that from time to time the Governor or magis-
trates fixed the prices of different kinds OF grains,
a justice of the peace might do in England, as
well as the price at which bread to be sold
in the city. The harvests of 1875 by no
large usual in the colonies generally,
and because Of this the price Of grair COM
menced to rise early in the winter almost every

right here on Manhattan Island the cost grain

issued a proclamation in which he called atten-
ton TO the scarcity of grain and consequent high
prices in the other colonies whereas these inds-
pensable articles remained cheap in New York
as in seasons Of plenty. Their price should be
raised here, he declared and he decreed that
winter wheat should sell at IS. bushel. summer
wheat at 5s. Cd, Indian at IS. Id. and peas
at IS. Present conditions in some of the coun-
tries at in Europe suggested to the
reader when he further that Andres also or
dered that no grain lit for the making Ct -four
should be distilled. The following year, however
prices came down OF their own accord and by
permission of the magistrates, because there
had been a good and plentiful harvest end the
poor should reap the benefit"

sist that no soap can be pure" unless it is
white. AS matter of fact, the color of
soap has no more to do with its virtue than
the color of woman's hair has to DO with
her skill as housekeeper.
We are so accustomed to measure merit by
cost that it is not strange that most persons
believe the more they pay tor soap the
'purer' must it be and the greater Its cleans
ing power. Fortunately this is far from the
truth Good soap is cheap, and cleanliness is
enc of the most inexpensive virtues. The most
costly toilet soap / know of sells retail at 80
cake But from to rs cents will buy any
one of a score CT soaps that are just as cleans
ing and no less beneficial to the skin. This
S. soap comes wrapped in satin and put up in
silk upholstered casket; its color is vivid
rose and its perfume is delicate and rare.
None of these attributes, however, adds to its
cost so much as the fact that it is imported
The import duty of more than ST. cake is
paid eventually by the ultimate consumer.
A FORM OF RECREATION: EXTRAVA-
CANOE FOR ITS OWN SAKE.
Soap at So a cake is, of course, pure luz
ury l have no quarrel with those who so re-
gard it. To many of us such little eXtrava-
gances are a form Cf recreation or aesthetic
relaxation which has an important Office in
the scheme of living. Some women get the
same kind Of satisfaction and benefit out OF
paying double prices for hats with foreign
labels; and l know men who get all their
moneys worth-although no better tobacco
out of smoking cigarettes embossed with their
personal crest Such as these, | say, are not
in need of lesson. This remonstrance is ad
dressed to those who pay cxtravagant prices
for soap under the delusion that they get
ting full return for their money in soap alone.
Fer the manufacture of good soap is not
difficult nor costly undertaking. The funda-
mental ingrede rrts are simple-oil or fat, either
animal or vegetable and an akal Ii these
two are properly combined the value of the
combination purely cleansing agent can
not be improved by the addition of coloring,

ished of all who had ever settled on Manhattan
Island when they learned that the Director Gen
ora rea l. intended to enforce the law. Ihey had
supposed as a matter Of course thu it was enact
ed for political effect. just may laws have been
enacted since then, and doubtless they chucHled
to themselves when hey learned tha- the follow
ing penalties or evasion hal been made pert OF
the law:
For selling bread light in weight, or abovt the
price for first offence. fne of twenty-five guild
ers; second offence. if;y guilders, and third Of
fence six hundred guilders and absolute proh.bl-
ton from that business"
Some idea Of the severity of the penalties may
be obtained by remembering that the guIlder IS
worth about 80 cents. Therefore the frs offence
would be punished by fine OF approximately
slO-a tidy sum in those days; probably equal to
the cost to-day of a well equipped automobile.
The second offence would be, in our money, about
500 and the fine provided for third offence
would be something less than $3.50 to-day, not
10 mention absolute prohibition" from selling
bread
That old law of 1856. moreover, provided in no
uncertain terms just what ingredients, such AS
kind and quality Of -four. should constitute TINS
kind Of loaf and the other kind. That the law
was not dead letter may be inferred from the
further statement that it dsObeyed in few
instances, whereby prosecution and punishment
speedily followed.
This question Of bread is always coming 10 the
surface in the history Of New York over and
over again has it ntruded itself, 20 the dissatls-
faction Of officials in power, and probably to the
intense satisfaction of those who were tempo
rarily out of Office and wanted to get back again
One would think that two or three convictions
under the act Of 1866 would be sufficient to deter
bakers-even the more daring ones-from test
ing its provisions personally. Yet only four years
elapsed ere it again brought its troubling self to
public attention In the Administrative Minutes
of New Amsterdam it is recorded that The

At any rate, the voice of the "peepul' was
raised in such volume that it quickly was heard.
They wanted bread. good bread, and plenty of it,
at fair and uniform price. Therefore. ordained
the Dutch Fathers, former orders were revived
and amplifed. Also, they commanded that "all
bakers and other inhabitants who make it their
business t. bake and sell bread whether 70
Christians barbarans shall be obliged (for
the accommodation of Christians, as well for
the sake OF the profit, and TO the for the
Indians, at least twice week TO bake
both coarse and white loaves of bread, both for
Christians and Indians"
Somewhat hazy, the phraseology of that order in
Council, which is herewith quoted word for word.
Probably Lindey Murray himself couldn't parse
that portion included in the parentheses and it's
only justice to admit that it left loOphole where
by a frugal Dutch baker with an eye to the Main
Chance might readily be unable TO distinguish be-
tween accommodation of Christians" and that
other profit and TO the same for the Indians"
1t is safe to wager. however, that such a baker
wouldn't lose much in selling bread to Indians
der the circumstances Indicated. As he new law
seemed to guarantee bread for the Christian popu-
lace without apparently wreaking vengeance on the
bakers it was passed, and then the weight and the
prices of bread were established follows
The Coarse Loaf shall weigh. one double-loaf, s
pounds price in money. II stuyvers each.
One Single Loaf. pounds; stuyvers each.
One Half Loaf, pounds; 81 stuyyers each.
The White Loaf shall weigh. the Double Loaf,
pounds. Price in money, stuyyers each
The Single Loaf, pound; price, stuyvers each.
The Half Loaf, y pound; price, stuyyers each.
Compared with the present buying power OF
money, stuyver might have sponded to a
nickel dime, or even more from time 20 time
There seems TO be no way in which TO measure ac
curately the real difference in price of bread at
that time and now. But in the opinion Ct e
Dutch residents New AM, ardam the scale of
weight and prices seemed to be satisfactory. At
least there is mention of any complaint, unless
at criminal trials of certain and suntry bake: who
were arrested later on for disobeying the law
Probably these individuals were the most aston
