To the voters of Chesterfield Co.
wish to thank you one and all for
the support you have given me in the
past several years by your votes and
your help and advice. / want to as
sure you that l have done all that l
knew with the available means for
the good of Chesterfield County and
trust that we can do more this year
than we have ever done, but this will
depend entirely on the support of the
citizens of the County. 1t is true that
we have little more money for road
purposes than we have ever had, but
when you consider that it costs two
hole as it did five years ago, and
four times as much to build bridge
you can see at once that we are up
against a proposition. And right now
is the time to get our roads in shape
loT IHe SuIIllilcI. IL we dlloW lIc
holes to go untitled through the
spring we may expect to have them
with us all the summer. Our Town
ship Commissioners all tell me they
can't get help. This being true it is
a settled fact that our roads will go
unworkcd. Our representatives tried
to gct good man for commissioner in
each Township and if they have fail
ed it is your duty to be good citi-
zen and go to his assistance; tell him
what you think is best for a certain
piece of road, offer to help him, give
him all the encouragement you can,
and not try to hinder the work.
think each Of the Township Commits
sioners will very much appreciate this.
If you will get together and give
he Township Commission free help on
the roads it will benefit you, especial
ly if you are going to travel the
roads. l admit that you pay your
taxes but the small amount that we
have for the roads. with the travel
that we have on them will not keep
them up especially where heavy trucks
are used feel sure that if each man
that operates a truck on the road
would make trip or 3 times a
month with a drag over the piece of
road that he uses it would be time
well spent as he could haul more
and legnthen the life of his truck.
Another thing; if the farmers along
the road would make drags and make
a trip at some leisure time it would
prove a great benefit to the road.
Please do not think that ! am

cause / feel an interest i'm Chester

Of the county, and to have good

good schools, good frams and good
roads TO them.
Again let me thank you for your
support and trust that this may be
the most prosperous year that you
have ever experienced.
am yours most truly,

was employed" runs the terse chron-
icle, "in connection with the Ipswich
coach, and only pursued art as a pleas
ure." In short, he was about the last
painter In the world to leave anything
to appeal to the connoisseur. But the
portrait at Ehrich's calls for the ap
probation of the connoisseur. It Is a
bewitching little full length. Frost Is
listed as a landscape painter. There
is all the more reason. therefore, for
thinking that he made this portrait
"as a pleasure" 1t shows it. There
is nothing else in the exhibition of the
same salience, but there are numerous
canvases to suggest, somewhat as this
one does, the advisability of taking a
painting on its merits, without refer
ence to conventional celebrity. There
are excellent portraits by Cosway, John
Jackson, J. Henson. Lemuel Abbott and
others. There is charming Landscape

Music Week Failed to
Crafty Theater Musicians

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The music show, which was held
at the Grand Central Palace last week,
was by all accounts largely attended in
spite of weather conditions. That
pleasure, however, was denied to the
greatest body of music makers in the
city on account of its not opening its
doors in the mornings. / refer to the
theater musicians.
Personally, looked forward to the
show, expecting to find much Of inter
est and instruction, but my work as
organist made my attending an impos
sibility. as it must have been in the
case of vast number of others.
The daily opening was set for p. NJ,
the very hour when we all have to be
at cur places In the orchestra, and the
only thing left was for those fortunate
enough to be near the Palace to drop
in for q few moments at the 5 o'clock
supper recess. Many of us were asked
to do something special for Music
Week. but were denied seeing the main
attraction.
1t is to be hoped the management
will do better next time.

tions."
What exaggeration. all this of
Nietzsche! II seems Joke! Yet such
are his words, written printed, maybe
tor no other reason than to give a typ
ical example of Teutonic presumption.
Let me note once more great truth
which is disclosed by experience and
by facts.
Wagner's works have exercised no
influence. either philosophical, or moral,
or social, because the operate stage
cannot exceed its confines or it's mis-
sion, which is to educate and refine the
taste, to produce emotions OF an artis-
tic nature-and nothing else.
Furthermore, let US add, the Wag-
neran music-drama has been success
1ui everywhere in the very form of
grand opera" which Wagner detested
and, IN defiance of which Bayreuth was
establishedl And woe betide them we re
not such the easel
Disastrous, too, would It have been
If Wagner in the year 1888, for the
third performance of "Parsifal," had
not been persuaded to permit the vul-
gar but practical sale Of tickets to the
general public! Disastrous. because
this alone saved that irradiating nsti-
luton not only economically but NOR
ally; for then the theater was thrown
open to everybody. as it should be, and
not alone to a sect both uncompromis-
ing and snobbistic
No genius is capable of changing the
nature of things and, In our case, Of
making the theater cease TO be a great
public service with two faces like
Janus, one face artistic, the other eco
nomic, but which always must be in
harmony, constituting one simple and
vital organism.
The Metropolitan Opera House was
the first to receive "Parsifal" outside
its place Of origin, This great mystic
drama, which ends with the descent
from heaven of the white dove, re-
turns for presentation, as it were,
symbol of peace to men of good will.
1t will not be performed either as a
social or religious function; no, but
as function truly artistic, and it will
evoke emotions profound and pure,
such as only the rarest scenic-musical
spectacles can possibly awaken.
The life of the director of theater
is SO infrequent in veritable artistic
enjoyment that no hypocritical reason
can prevent me from sincerely mani
Testing my great pleasure in an event
SO splendid and of APPLYING to Richard

Random Impressions

There will be sold at the Anderson
Galleries next Thursday evening an
interesting collection of prints brought
from London. It contains etchings by
Whistler, Haden, Zorn, Cameron and
other moderns, with some old masters
headed by, Rembrandt. There are
also few drawings in tho show, one
by Whistler, others by Remington and
Pyle, and an early watercolor by Edwin
A. Abbey.

nounce tho opening on February 20 of
an exhibition Of tho pictures left by
the late Ralph H. White, of Boston,
with additions from other sources.
The Barbizon painters and the I'm
pressionists will be represented along
with Dutch and other modern Euro
peans. Some American pictures will
also be included. At tho same time
there will be shown at this place
the BischoR collection Of Oriental
porcelains and Mr.. George L. Good
mans rare American portraits and
views.
Recent paintings by Antonio Barone
may be seen at the Babcock gallery.
He Is facile craftsman who shows a
particularly persuasive aptitude in his
portraits. He paints with zest, Is
agreeable in color and leaves q very
favorable impression. His canvases
arc succeeded this week by a collec-
ton Of landscapes by Eugene v.
Brewster. In the group Of miscella-
neous American pictures at the Bab-
cock gallery, pictures by Ryder,
Winslow Homer, Homer Martin and so
on, there Is an early example of the
late John H. Twachtman which should
win the attention Of every one who
cares for the art of that remarkable
painter. 1t Is q harbor scene done in
1879, a study of docks and boats.
Twachtman never did a finer thing,
not even In the later years of his
career, when to the qualities Of this
canvas there were added the qualities
which he derived from impressionism.
Consummate drawing Is at the bottom
of the beauty Of the picture, that and

Methodist Church Notes.

At recent meeting of the Sunday
School Board it was decided to
change the time of the Sunday
School session from 11:45 a. m. to
1000 a. M. The time of the Sunday
morning preaching will also be
changed to HOO o'clock instead of
1880 o'clock as at present.
The new arrangement makes the
Sunday School session come before
the preaching service instead of
after the deaching service as it
has been heretofore.
This change will not go into effect
until the first Sunday of the New
Year.
