EIam Knew Him of Old.

Elam Bartholomew called in company
with his old friend Otis L. Benton at
the Record Office last Saturday. Elan
informed US that he had been acquaint-
ed with the Benton family for the past
40 years. He SAID:
AlmOn Benton, the father was a
hardware merchant, in those days, at
Louisville in Pottawatomie county. Ny
brother Eli was timer IN the store
and the kid Otis was helping to black
stoves, at the age of ten years, and
usually, as 1 remember the mother,
getting more blacking on his hands
and face than on the stoves.
1.-The father and mother were the
finest types of rock-ribbed christian
temperance people; with whom to meet
was delight, and their teaching has
borne abundant fruit in the sons and
daughters who went from that home.
Il first came in touch with these
good people in May 1876 while on a
visit to my brother at Louisville, being
then on my way from Stockton to
Pennington, Illinois where I was mar
ried In June and returned to Rocks
county in September. Throughout the
Intervening 40 years have kept close

full Benton home at Ooberl1n, a most
delightful open home hOstelry for sick
and poor alike.

he will WELD a moral and political in

LIST AND CHOPIN
PLAYED BY POWELL
Pianist Leaves Beaten Track
and Reviews Unfamiliar
"Concerto Pathetique."

John Powell gave another plano re-.
cital yesterday afternoon In Aeollan
Hall. and according to his now pro.
fessed purpose played things not COM
mon to the marketplace. His pro-
m consisted Of Chopin's allegro
de concert. nocturne In B major, bar.
carolc and %tarantella. Liszt's Concerto
Pathetique" and his Don Juan" fan
tasia.
The three shorter Chopin numbers are
heard often. but the allegro Is not. Nor
Is there any pressing reason why II
should be. Neither James Huneker nor
Edga Stlllman Kelley. both Chopin
propasandists. could work up warm en-
thusiasm over II. The former shudders
AT Its difficulties and the latter rel
ishes its harmonic prophecies of wag-
her. They found larger things in
smaller works. Mr.. Powell In his own
programme notes invited consideration
OF Its depth and the tenderness Of its
emotion. He labored hard to put them
on exhibition.
But It was manifest that he was more
warmly interested In Llszt's Concerto
Pathetiaue." The composition has not
been publicly performed In years-ac-
cording to Mr.. Powell only once in the
last hftect. Whose was the version used
yesterday was left to conjecture. 1t was
probably Mr.. Powell's own. LISTS was
not wholly effective either In the solo
shape or the arrangement for two
pianos. Burmeister made a concerto
with orchestra out Of It. but that was
not altogether convincing. either. The
version heard yesterday was well made
and gave the composition an effective
ending.
TT pianist also informed his audience
maj the Don Juan fantasy was not a
mere virtuoso piece. but "a dramatic
tone poem Of extraordinarily perfect
FORM and OF powerful unity" Mr.. Powell
Is young. ardent and optimistic, and in
ripper years will probably he calmer in
the presence OF the embroidery OF ia
81 darem" n the excitements of the
gay Don's bacchanalian ditty.
Meanwhile music lovers can enjoy this
young mans admirable interpretative
art. II has vlrility, imagination and i'm
mense technical brilliancy and power.
All were displayed yesterday in the
List concerto. of which the pianist made
a veritable tour de force and which he
made ~ interesting as 1t could be.
In time Mr.. Powell will without doubt
abandon the futile attempt to emphasize
every measure in a phrase. Eager to
make clear his message to his auditor.
he sometimes breaks the melodic lire OF
his music. But despite mistakes MI.
Powelrs piano playing Is worthy OF adj
miratton. and his strong. sincere per-
sonality is. breathed through all the
music he Performs.
