Once in a company OF musicians, OF
whom Brahms was one, the conversa-
ton turned on Bruckner. One OF the
eomposer's colleagues charged him
with want OF logic and said that his
symphonies showed a lack of symmet-
real construction. Gutmann, who had
published two Of the symphonies, re-
pied, at any rate, you cannot deny
NAT he had large thoughts" To this
Brahm' observed: "Then. had ! been
IN your place. ! would have published
only The large thoughts; it would hav,
saved you a lot of money"

Gutmann has a story which sounds
like a variation of one told at the
time Of Strauss visit TO Boston. At
luncheon in the Tavern Club there he
is said TO have remarked 10 Charles
Martin LoefFer that the descriptive
capacity Of music would yet be de-
veloped to such degree that ii would
be possible TO delineate a fork so accu-
rately that the listener in the audi
ence room would recognize II. Gut
mann says that after a performance OF
the "Sinfonja Domestica' Strauss de-
clared that The expression of external
incident marked the highest triumph
Of musical technique. He then put
down upon the table knife and fork
in such a manner that a gentle, clash
ing noise was heard and said: ITO re-
produce little noise like that so that
there will be no doubt in the mind of
the nearer as to what made it requires
great artistic technique. I'd like to
carry 1t that far"

There are stories about Richard
Strauss and his wife which do not at
all tax credulity. Variants Of Strauss
remarks touching his willingness to do
almost anything for money follow him
in all his travels. To the late DR.. Will
lam Mason he said in New York that
he would polish stoves if thereby he
could add to his earnings, and to a gen.
tleman who begged him not to give the
concert in Wanamaker's store he re-
piled: 81 would conduct from a manure
pile if were paid for it," To Gutmann
he said: 81 have no ambition beyond
earning enough money TO permit me
20 retire TO the Island of Ceylon." And
his wife explained that Richard wanted
to 20 to Ceylon to keep warm, having
a mortal dread Of cold weather.

Here is one Of Gutmann's anecdotes
indicating that there are some traits
~ character which Strauss and his
wife share in common. Gutmann, to en-
courage interest in Strauss songs, had
arranged a recital at which Posssrt, the
German actor. was 10 recite Tenny-
sons "Enoch Arden" and Nine. Strauss
was to sing some Of her husbands
songs, both Accomplishments played by
the composer At 1 o'clock in the
afternoon Of the day announced for the
concert word came from Nine. Strauss
that she was i'll. Gutmsnn hurried TO
her hotel, where he found the lady in
bed, a picture of misery. She had
taken a severe cold, high fever had
set in, etc, etc, and she could not pos
sibly sing in the evening. Gutmann
concluded that the concert would have
20 be called off and started for his Of
fee to send out the notices. On the
steps of the hotel he met Strauss.
at was nice Of you 10 call upon my
wife" was the composers greeting.
"But not at all so nice that the poor
thing is sick and must postpone the
concert" replied Gdtmann.
what" said Strauss in a tone Of
amazement; mot so fast" And he
took hold Of Gutmann's arm TO detain
him. Wen fix that all right He
went into his wife's room, came back in
a minute and asked: "Can you recon-
mend TO me a trustworthy jeweller|'
Gutmann gave him the name OF a
friend and at the composers request
accompanied him to the jewellers shop
There Strauss selected ring costing
900 crowns and hurried back TO the
hotel. In the evening the lady sang
with great success.

Gutmann repeats a story about Wag-
ner and List which Mottl told him.
Motif was once at dinner with the
Wagner household in Wshnfried. List
was also a guest, and had gone out OF
the room with his great son-in-laW,
leaving Nine. Wagner and Motif lin
gcring over their after-dinner coffee.
In a short time Wagner came rush
ing back into the dining room with
flushed face.

me! It's unendurable!" Nine. Co
sima amazedly asked, "How can you

Patron Saint of Motorists.

More than local notice will be given
to the fact that upon the famous Mer-
rick road, Long Island, a Catholic
church is to be built in honor of the
ST. Christopher who has been designa-
ed as the patron saint of AUTOMOBILE
lists.
Perhaps the professional driver
the chauffeur, was the most consider
ed in this election. St. Christopher s
name means bearer of Christi be-
cause he bore the young Christ across
a stream, he is the patron of all ferry
men, serving them as St. Crispin does
cobblers, St. Joseph the carpenters
st. Agatha the women weavers, ST.
Anne the embroiderers and St. Julian
the travelling salesmen. He simply
adds auto drivers to the ferrymen al
ready in his charge.

has one in St. Hubert, and fishing in

SMALLPOX CAUSED TWO DEATHS.
State Health Board Reports Results
of Preventive Measures.

The results of the campaign car
ried on by the State board of health
against smallpox by vaccination are
gratifying to health officials. Only
32S cases were reported to the office
between January / and November l
of last year, which is large decrease
over 1914.
There was. a sharp outbreak in
Charleston in March, April and May,
with a recrudescence in July, but the
epidemic was stopped at 142 cases by
the efficient work of special agents
of the State and city boards of health.
Other outbreaks we're reported IN
,Richland, Calhoun and Bamberg
counties, but in each instance the
ravages were stopped by prompt &C
ton. There were only two deaths
from smallpox reported in the State.

Hayne, NJ. D., State health ofhcer
says in his report, that it has cost
the State less this year than it has
in many years and we hope to see
this cost less and less each year. We
believe, however, that we can prom
ise that for the next year or two
there will be no widespread epidemic
There are two strains of smallpox in
this country, one very virulent ano
the other very mild. The virulen1
strain has very high death rate an6
it is against this form that we are

MALARIA CONTROL.
Would Require Sanitary Survey of
Water Power Developments.

Discussing the frequency bf mala-
ria in South Carolina and other
Southern States, as related to the de-
velopment of water powers in this
section, James A. Hayne, NJ. D., State
Health officer, in his annual report
says in part:
I've believe law should be pass
ed by the present general assembly
forbidding the impounding Of waters
in South Carolina unless survey by
competent sanitary engineers has
been made in advance and report
submitted to, the State board Of
health, and an investigation made by
the State health officer so that rea-
sonable compensation, may be made
to those who would be affected by the
impounding of streams. The atten-
tion of the legislature is directed to
the many suits that are pending in
South Carolina on account of the i'm
pOuQO1uS OF waters WlIllOuI SuCu q
survey having been first made. We
refer especially to the Parr Shoals
Hydro-Electric company and the
Georgia-Carolina Power company
DR.. Hayne asserts that there are
three problems in controlling mala-
ria, the only conveyer of which is the
female of the anopheles mosquito.
These problems are: Getting rid of
breeding places, which involves the
draining and clearing of swamps and
the proper care of impounded waters:
screening of houses with 16 mesh
wire; the killing of malaria parasites
in a person who has malaria by the
use of quinine in sufficient quantities
and for a sufficient length of time.
A course in the cause and control
of malaria has been introduced in
several schools, where primer writ

War Voting in England.

The result of the first important
bye election for parliament since the
beginning of the war was unmistaka-
BILE significance Two candidates
stood for Keir Hardle's vacant seat.
Both were Laborities, one being the
Official the other the unofficial
candidate. Both supported the Gov
ernment. Between two such men
there would seem to have been little
choice. Yet the candidate who had
the backing of the South Wales
Miners Federation was beaten by the
sizeable majority of 1000. The ex-
planation of this result is partly that
the unofficial" candidate made his
campaign upon the issue of the ener-
getic prosecution of the war, while
his opponent contented himself with a
more moderate tone But it is point
ed out that the unsuccessful candi-
date had been connected with the In
dependent Labor party and it's anti
war doctrines, and that this heavily
handicapped him in the contest.
such a result would be significant in
any election district in England, but
in the dristrict (which had sent to
Westminster the leader of the peace
element in the British Socialists, a
man of whose utterances regarding
the war had led a London
newspaper to call his attention to an
order-in-council prescribing penalties
for giving aid to the enemy, it is con-
elusive upon the point of Britain's de-
termination to see the war through.

and keeps out of the error column,
that team ought to win. That's
what the leaders in the American
league did yesterday. And, lest we
forget, said leaders Of said American
league are our own White SOx.
The aspiring or perspiring Red Sox
tOppled down over the shOe-tOps, so
to speak, while Reb Russell and Jack
Ness proved the main carriers in
holding up Rowland's White Sox.
The home team just took the visit
ors to the laundry and gave them a
clean embarrassing. There was no
question about the final score from
the third inning on. Russell simply
had the stuff, while Leonard, who did
the hurting for Boston, was very
much shy.
Incidentally the White Sox
strengthened their hold on first place
and the Red Soxw were lucky not to be
showed into a tie for second position.
New York trimmed Cleveland, pre-
venting a tie between the Indians and
Boston.
From the Chicago end of it the
game was a Suggest. The team gath
cred thirteen safeties, five of them
for extra bases. Russell ony allowed
seven safeties and nary a base on
balls.
Jack Ness had a banner day all the
way round. Besides gathering three
hits, one of them a home run within
the grounds, he made several swell
plays on hard hit balls. More power
to him.
To a lot of folks who contended
that our White Sox were having a
flash in the pan, yesterdays game
had a pleasing effect. Real baseball
of championship caIber was turned
out. Boston will have to perk up if
Rowland's men continue that brand
of ball.
