made no impression upon his work
Schubert died at the age Of thirty one,
Foster at the age of thirty-seven. An
afectlonate eulogist has written of
Foster that when he had become so
popular that he withdrew from all
work but song writing, he Studied
deeply and burned much midnight oil
over the works OF the masters, es-
pecialy Mozart, Beethoven and Weber.
and that he struggled FOR years and
sounded the depths Of musical science"
If so, there is nothing in his work
that ne learned, even the beginning OF
tie alphabet OF the art of those mas
tiers. shall let Mr. Milligan tell OF
the extent of his achievements:
AS composer Stephen Foster is
paradox. The wonder is that any one
could write so poorly. Was he a man
OF mediocre talent who stumbled al
most by accident upon few nuggets
OF pure gold in the midst of much of
little worth, or was he endowed with a
great gift which remained for the most
part mute and found expression only
IN few brief moments of song? He
mad practically no constructive ability
SO far as the first impulse of his in
spiration could carry him ne went, but
no further. Judged by the standard
OF musical composition, nearly all Of
his one hundred and seventy or more
songs are on the same level These
songs were written throughout a
period Of about twenty years, during
which he neither gained nor lost in
co 81 i
thirty seven found him as a composer
just about where he was at the begin
ming OF his career. Both melody and
harmony are of the utmost simplicity.
He could neither develop nor vary his
harmony. His melodies repeat them
selves monotonously and ne was con-
tent with a few simple chords and
modulations. And yet, when his in
spira ton IS so pure and exalted as it
is in NY Old Kentucky Home" or
The Old Folks at Home" the very
limitations of his powers become viz
tues. resulting in simplicity and d.
OF erudition and sophissicatlon could
have\ occupied in simplicity and po-
tency. He put she best of himself
into the composition of these songs,
and it is because they are the honest
of real emotion that they found their
way directly and at once to the worlds
heart"
Mr.. Milligan does not add much to
what other biographers have told US
about Foster the man, and though he
seeks to awaken sympathy and pity
for his downfall, he tells the truth
about his last years and death simply
and frankly.

dying on the stage to appropriate
blank verse or scores of clergymen-
granted even that Bayard TAYLOR heard
a wandering Hindu minstrel singing
20 Susanna at Delhi, we cannot grant
that no musician in the world had
ever equaled him. Perhaps Mr. Mlli-
gan has kept his ears too much at
home; he certainly did not exercise
them extensively in foreign lands. The
plain people Of England, Ireland Scot
land, France. Germany and Russia GER
tainly sing many hundred times as many
songs such as Mr.. Miligan defines as
those of the United States. Here we
may omit the factor which in my view
is an essential element in the true folk
unanimity- for If that be
granted the comparison becomes ridicu-
lous.
Of the 40 songs by Foster, whose
melodic genius am not trying to be

The second report Of the Egyptian
expedition Of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum has been issued. Those interest
ed in the Egyptian rooms at the mu-
scum will find material in these re-
ports, which are brought out from time
to time, that will help them and add
color to the pieces which have been in
stalled as the result of the shipments
from Egypt.
The location Of the Egyptian exhib-
its, on the first floor of the great build
ing in Central Park, is the undoing Of
many sightseer who really wants to
cover all the exhibitions He goes
into these rooms to his right and be-
comes so absorbed that his afternoon is
gone before he can tear himself away
AS New York woman said recently:
"My husband and visit the museum
frequently But I really don't have
much general knowledge about it, be-
cause my husband always insists upon
going into the Egyptian rooms-for
just minute'-and we simply stay
there"

4. Investigations in the history Of

+ In the account OF the work of the
Tytus Memorial Fund, the descrip-
ton Of wall decorations in the tomb OF
-Apy furnishes much interesting de-
tail. Chance and circumstances had
much to do with the conditions found
in Investigating these historic places.
The delay caused at certain times
meant the loss Of valuable pieces. For
instance, this report says:
1T is tomb Of the Ramesside
period, and, like most of the Theban
sepulchers, has a lamentable history;
the more so as the present generation
is responsible for its misfortunes.
The little chamber was very insult
ticiently copied. and published with
astonishing misstatements and omis-
sions in 1891 when in fairly per-
feet, though precarious, state. 1t was
then reburied in such a way as to in
vite ruin. When it was rediscovered
a few years ago, the expedition of our
museum rooted it in in a solid way
that might we'll be taken as a model
for other tombs in the metropolis
But by that time one of the most in
teresting walls had almost complete
ly disappeared. BY this loss, which
only the charitable can call an acc
dent, a very charming scene has been
lost forever; the only mitigation Of
the tragedy being that relatively
good copy Of it had been made by the
first discoveries, and that the other
walls still survived to be preserved
and published by the best means at
our disposal"
SO the preservation or loss OF in
teresting records may be determined
by the care or negligence of few.

ONE HUNDRED PER CENT.

This is a great day in Pensacola's
history. Once more we have gone over
the top, and established new record
this time a commercial record which
will mean much for Pensacola and
all West Florida. The Chamber OF
Commerce campaign means more than
an enrolment of members-it means
a quicker and more potent civic
spirit.
Some big things were put over in
Pensacola last year and some bigger
things are being planned. The men
who have made these things possible
are the men who are building for a
great tomorrow OF new enterprises,
fuller possibilities and more fruitful
development.
One of the reasons for the tremen-
dous growth of New Orleans has been
its splendid board Of trade, which has
worked for the up-building of every
legitimate enterprise which has meant
a great city. With the increased reve-
nue. and, most of all. the new interest
which has developed in Pensacola and
which centers in the commercial body,
Pensacola will go forward as never
before.
Since the first Of the year the COM
mercial association has received a Won
derful impetus ,one Of the important
features of which is the traffic bureau
recently established. Other depart
ments will be added as the need and
opportunity arises.
In every campaign which has been
undertaken in Pensacola, more than
one hundred per cent has been regis
tered, and it is a matter of intense
pride to Pensacolians that the Cham
Der of Commerce has set such rec
ord as has never before been attained,
and which will mean SO much for Pen
sacola's future.
