Miss Maggie Deyte
wagner Overture and ,venusherg music
from 'Tannhauser'
The program given by the Phila
delphia Orchestra at the concert yes
terday afternoon in the Academy OF
Music contained one novelty, one
seminovelty, two fairly familiar songs
for soprano with orchestra and double
Wagner number, the Overture and the
Nenusberg music from "TannhauserF
which rose TO gigantic musical heights
after the rest of the program
The concert opened with the novelty
Solemn Melody" by Walford
Davies. an English composer. well
known for his church music. The or
chestral number played would have
made this fact known if it had not
been in the program notes, because the
Solemn Melody" is simply an elaB-
GRATED hymn. 1t follows closely the
spite of the scoring for large orches-
ira this fact is not concealed. The
work is something of a novelty, in that
few composers have been moved to write
a hymn tune in so elaborate a set

music for this reason if for no othert
The Elgar number has been played
mere before. and 1t is a clever piece Of
work. 1t is probably the most original
of the Elgar orchestral numbers, and
is series of thirteen variations, all
short. The idea of depicting his friends
| in q series of short compositions is not
original with Elgar. for Schumann did
! it before him, but not in the shape OF
an orchestra work. The variations are
| radically different in musical feeling.
and there is no doubt that the com

the variations are exceedingly beau

| and "Dorabella.' The concluding or

already referred to, and the music carIie

was essentially interesting, but which

ALEXANDER DUNNETT.

The late Alexander Dunnett of ST.
Johnsbury was of the type of sturdy
Vermonter, both physically and men
tally, which one is accustomed to as
sociate with the state Born in Yer.
mont and reared in the famous old
town of Peacham, he developed many
of the traits which 60 to make up a
splendid sort Of individual. He was
keen mentally and possessed of a good
knowledge of human nature in its
many phases. In law he stood high.
As citizen he was rated as one of
the best. As man he was held in
high esteem throughout the state. The
degree of esteem in which he was held
is exemplified by the many honors
which came to him ever since he. was
first admitted to the bar back in 1877.
That he was denied the honor, which
he sought, of being a representative of
Vermont in Congress, was not because
of low estimate of his worth by his
fellow citizens And, in this eonnee-
ton, it is rather a strange coincidence
that he should have passed away on
the day when another contest was be-
ing wsged very similar to the one in
which he participated six years ago.
Though denied the distinction of going
to Congress, Mr.. Dunnett had since
then been given other recognition,
which showed the extent Of the conf
dence in which his fellow citizens held
him. He was of the type truly repre-
sentative of the state and had come to
be recognized as one of the states
leading citizens.

"The present military operations are

Max of Baden in the course of a

CURRENT COMMENT
Campaign Funds.

The senate committee investigating
campaign expenses apparently is tenn
porarily halted by lack of further evil
dence of charges publicly made by Gov
ernor Cox, and the public will give
some attention to what has already
been disclosed The Republican ma
tional committee and its money dig
gers admit they had plan to raise
campaign fund of nearly $5,00o,0Oo
and that they had resorted to the
drive plans" that have secured many
millions from the American people
since the outbreak of the World war !;
but they have not reached their self
erected goal
Governor Cox has given no evidence
J of a $l5,000,000 fund for the purchase
of the presidency. His evidence as pre-
scented by Edmund H. Moore showed
large quotas for certain cities. No evil
dence of the improper use of campaign
funds has been offered and Cox chief
spokesman makes no charge.
Probably the investigation will bring
an end to the employment of profess
sional money dggers" for political
or charitable purposes, 1t has been
shown that money dggers" are very
expensive agents for any organization
to employ and that their methods are
hardly fair to the men they "work'
for funds, because they benefit so
largely themselves.
Unconsciously the Democrats have
shown their own failure to win the sup
port of the business men of the coun-
try They have not secured much
money and do not know where they
can get more. They have apparently
worked" federal employees to the limit
and are still short, Governor Cox with
his millions can continue his personal
campaign but there are no funds for q
general organization to take care of the
details. 1t is quite possible that their
failure to get the support OF business
interests is the forerunner of their re
jestion by the general public.
The Republicans have placed before
the committee the full list of their sub
scriptions, have made public their
method of raising funds, the objects for
which the money is to be used and now
should follow the Democrats no further
in recrimination and mud singing.
They are in position to discuss and de-
fend the principles for which they de-
clared in their platform and will
strengthen themselves so far as they
adhere to their original campaign |
plans. A lie will travel mile while !
truth is getting on its boots and they |
cannot hope to overtake the Democratic |
Misrepresentation. The
should return to the considera
tion of the fundamental principles in
volved in this campaign for the presi
dency. Brattleboro Reformer

No one processes to know the cause
of the $4,000 farm fire in the town Of
Fairfax recently; but the newspaper
reports say that the farm hands were
addicted to the use Of cigarettes and
other forms of tobacco and that the
fire was discovered soon after the men
returned to the house from the barn.
Inssmuch as there seems to have been
no other possible cause for the out.
break of the fire it must be inferred
that the great loss was caused by
some carelessness on the part Of the
smokers. Farmers may find it neces-
sary 10 put up the warning: "No smok-
ing in the haybarn."
