S'Finlandia" Thrills Hearers
Sibelius's Tone Poem Given bv
Philharmonic

Sibelius's tone poem "Finlandia" ap-
peared on the program Of concert by
the Philharmonic Society for the first
time last evening at Carnegie Hall. It
is stirring music, picturesque with the
suggestion Of prayers and hymns, re-
volts and revolutions.
The Symphony was Cesar Franck's
in d minor. This music is now ac-
knowledged to be one of the greatest
works in symphonic literature. Its
pages contain much that is striking,
pathetic, sublime. The structure is
mastery. The breadth OF treatment,
contrapuntal skill and development Of
the cyclic principle would give it high
rank, but the musical thoughts them
selves, the expression of emotion, the
tenderness and beauty of the song"
themes and the outpouring of heroic
faith make the symphony unique. The
other numbers were Tschaikowsky' IS
Fantasia after Dante "Francesca da
Rimini" and Wagner's "Siegfred ldyll."

A smoldering fire last night at the
Ritz Carlton Hotel. Forty-sixth sssrsea

smoked out wedding party and caused
anxiety TO many persons in the build

switchboard operators were swamped
with calls from all parts of the hotel.
Mr.. kost didn't know where the fro
was, though he was doing his best to

sent far and wide through the struc-
ture, and the night manager WAS lead
ing one himself.
1t was Rost's party that discovered
the source of the smoke. One main

canine floor leading to the ventilating
plant and billow of smoke rolled
out which drove the searchers back.
1t foated upward to the ballroom and
put sooty end to the dancing. and Il
seeped downward to the Crystal Room
directly below the ventilating plant.

drives the big fans had caught fro. and
FIRE engine and hook and ladder COM

could not penetrate the smoke and
were reluctant 10 turn on the water
blindly because of the damage surh q
deluge would involve.
A call was sent for the rescue squad
Of the Fire Department, and they made
the two-mile run from Great Jones
Street in less than six minutes. IN

got az the fire and put it out The

The failure of John B. Chambers, who

turned over to him by the State Chari-

pose of Mr.. Chambers to leave them
$50 900 each. Although Mr. Chambers
in his will referred to the boy and girl
as his adopted children, he had not at
his death taken the necessary legal
steps for their adoption
Besides leaving to Arthur and Aman-
da each $4,000, to be paid when they
became of age, Mr.. Chambers set aside

Dir Oliver in Carnegie Hall Lecture Declares There
Is NO Cult Between Heaven and Earth and
Asserts His Belief in Pre-existence of Humans

There is no gulf between heaven ano
earth. Love bridges the apparent
chasm. The other life is thinly
screened from US, but in reality is all
about US. Saints and prophets spoke
truly The peak from which things be-
yond the veil may be seen has been
reached. We must believe that the
youths who lost their lives in battle
I'VE on. We must think Of them as be-
ing with US still.
This was the burden of Sir oliver
lodges message to a capacity audience
IN Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon
lie said at the outset that he did not
wish to be dogmatic; that he was not
ready yet to arouse hostility, although
prepared to do so if necessary, and
that he did not believe his theories to
be infallible. He merely presented his
arguments as the elimination Of a life

Several times he referred scathingly
to the doubt that befogs mems minds
on the issues which are now occupy

scientists who had spent their lives
trying to see beyond the veil were

He referred in passing to his theory
that ether is greater than matter and
said that this wou 1 be an accepted
scientific fact within the next ten or
fifteen years The scientist voiced his
belief of preexistnce. He explained
that his lecture on The Reality of the
Unseen was Introductory 10 a series

evidence OF survival and destiny of

Sir Olivcr's delivery was matter Of
fact and logical. He might have been
delivering an after-dinncr speech, so
calm and Informal was his manner He
was strictly scientific at times; at
others an orthodox theologian He
quoted extensively from the Bible,
Tennyson, ordsworth, Elizabeth Bar

S. s. Mcclure presided at the meeting.
"The soul constructed the body,
dominates it and will survive it," de-
clared Sir Oliver "The body wears out,

We are guided and helped through

eve are going up the mountain and
already we begin to perceive that when
We arrive we shall find people who
have gone before us by paths of re-
Ngion, insight or inspiration. We are
finding that the Communion of Saints
is reality The mind, affection, il
spirntion and love are not parts of the
body but are Of eternal reality. Eternity
is now. The kingdom OF heaven might
be on earth. The present is the op-
portunity for acton and our duty now
is action. To help US TO realize what
man really is, let US hold to the faith
that was held by those who have gone
before. They are not moved out Of
our ken save by the thin veil Of sense.
They have, | believe, been active
through all our terrible struggles. And
the youths that we have lost have gone
before us desiring that we shall not
lament them, but that we will believe
In their existence and realize, too, that
without US they cannot be perfect.
Think Of them as with US still, screened
by the senses, but actually here all the
time.
Il believe the ether of space Is sub
stantial reality with extraordinarily
perfect properties, with enormous en-
ergy, constitution which we must dis
cover and q substantially more impress
made Of ether In these days of the
doubt the reality of ether But it is
always easy to doubt.
The reality Of everything is in the
mind of man, and when you get an in
spired mind there is comprehension of
the universe. Our senses are animal
senses that tell us but little of the
reality of things.
What we learn by looking at human
creation is the dominance Of science.
Shall we not apply that to divine crea-
ton? Shall we not see that the soul
was conceived by the Holy Ghost and
made incarnate in man? Most Of US
do our daily task and are useful in
our day and generation. But we ought
to be more than mere workers. We
ought sometimes to stand on heights
and get glimpses beyond. Do not let
us cramp ourselves like animals, but
let US lift our souls and glimpse the
reality of the unseen"

In Violin Recital
Largo Audience at Aeolian Hall
Shows High Appreciation of
Her Musical Ciffs

Helen Teschner Tas, a young violin
ist who is practically unknown to local
audiences, gave recital last night at
Aeolian Hail. Miss Tas is an artist Of
excellent musical gifts whose straight
forward playing of the Tartini G minor
sonata and the Mozart A major con-
certo gave much pleasure to the large
audience. Her tone was warm and firm
IN fiber. her intonation true. and she
displayed considerable feeling for the
more delicate nuances of color.
There was certain restricted elc-
ment in her bowing and general want
of breadth Of style and rhythmic vigor,
but within her limits her recital was
distinctly pleasing. Other of her mum
bers were the Bach Chaconne, Saint
Saans's "Rondo Capriccioso," Ro-
nance Of Wagner-Wilhelmj, Span
lsh dance OF Granados -Kreisler and
a Guitarre Of Moszkowski-S Sarasate.
