Baltimore, Md, Oct. 2O.-A nation al league, the purpose of which is to organize the 100000 of persons in the United States who are directly in- terested in the musical life of the country, was launched here today.

 Do you realize,' said MT. Freund, "that there are in this country today, at a modest calculation, over 2,00O,- 900 people, resourceful, intelligent, cultured, who are earning living in the musical world or in the musical industries? This country spends an- nually on music and for musical in- struments the astounding sum of $6OO,- 100000 year. But with all this, do

was the mother of twins which, in reality she had procured from mid wife.
 The aged widow appeared before Justice Van Sicklen and jury in a suit brought by her nephew, Fred erick w. Britton to test her com potency to handle her estate, valued at S25,00O. The court directed a yer dict in her favor without calling her to the stand.
 Mrs. Madeleine Grace Witte. wife of William H. Witte, a wealthy mar ket gardener of Corona, is one of the twins testified to as being a found- ling. She was in court when Mrs. Burris' sister, Mrs. Georgianna Zeiner of Mo- 7O6 Leonard street, Brooklyn, said on the stand:
 "On Oct 19, 1885. Mrs. Burris told me I was to call Dr. Burris to my home and keep him overnight. She told me she had arranged with a midwife to furnish her with twins, a boy and a girl. I asked her how she would fool her husband, and she replied that would be all right. He doesn't know anything anyhow Dr. Burris came to my home that night and the next day my sister wired me Everything is all right" The boy died when less than year old.
 Before leaving the court room Mrs. Burris denied the fondling charge.

 'The time now has come to put the entire musical world, including the in- dustries, the church music, the music of the people, the public school music, the music of the symphony orchestras, the music of the concert hall on a sounder, indeed on higher basis by the blishment of great league now working for. the uplift, which shall include not only the greatest among the music world and the music lovers but even the humblest, a league which I have reason to believe will number among it's members within a few months hundreds of thousands who will work for the recognition of music as one of the great ennobling, civilizing forces in our human life.
 "The new league will work for the introduction of music into the public schools, with proper musical instru- ments, which today they lack.
 ITO cause municipalities, like Balti- more, to devote some of their funds not alone for the sustenance of sym phony orchestras, but for music for the peple in the parks and the piers in the summer, and in the school aud itoriums in the winter.
 ITO give encouragement to our home talent, when it Is worthy, as they do in France, in Germany, in Italy, even in industrial England.
