OF Conductor
Oscar Radin
Music Director of ssThe
Last Waltz Specialist
In the Viennese Opera

Oscar Radin, musical director OF
"Thc Last Waltz" the Oscar Straus
operetta, at the Century Theater, has
enjoyed long and varied experience in
conducting the orchestras of musical
came to New York. He has been here
lie studied under private teachers and
became first violinist at the Grand
Opera House in Pittsburgh. The fol-
lowing season he was appointed leader
of the house orchestra and continued
in that capacity for eleven years.
Daring the next two years Mr.. Radin
was the musical director of the Belasco
Theater in Pittsburgh, and in 1907 he
came to New York. He has been here
ever since. The next four years his
engagements as musical director in
Guided such productions as "The
Alaskan" "The kissing Girl" Nearly
s. Hero" in which Sam Bernard ap-
peared; "The Mimic World" "Dick
Wilmington" up and Down Broad
way" in which Eddie Foy starred,
Madam Troubadour" and "The Girl
and the Kaiser" in which Lulu CHASER
was seen.
In 1911 the Shuberts sent for Mr..
Radin to conduct the orchestra at the
opening of the Winter Garden in
March Of thas year. His success was
so pronounced at this new home Of
revue that he became virtually fixture
there. While at the Winter Garden
he directed the orchestra for nineteen
productions, including many Of the
Passing Shows" "Sinbad," Robinson
Crusoe Jr," Dancing Around" 1.-THE
Honeymoon Express" in which Gaby
Deslys made her American debut, and
The Whirl of the World"
Mr.. Radin's activities have carried
him to other theatcrs, however. And
ais Industrious record shows him to
have directed the music for such pro-
auctions as "The Man With Three
Wives" @The Merry Countess "Ha-
vana," in which James T. Powers
starred at the Casino; "Two Little
Brides,"e Hands Up" the schubert
Gaieties" and within the Loop" Last
reason he conducted the orchestra for
the pretentious Shubert revival OF
sFlorodora" at the Century, besides
welding the baton for the Century
Revue and "The Midnight Rounders.''
When "The Last Waltz" was in xe-
hearsal Mr.. Radin was again sum-
noned. His experience, it was believed
was essential to the correct interpre.
tation of the elaborate score. He has
conducted many operettas composed in
the Viennese manner. His training
was sympathetic with the moods Of
this style. The choice has been vindi.
Gated by the rendition given "The Las,
Waltz" music.

everything that is demanded by thu

the quiet method of conducting, and
think the musicians themselves like Il
better. They know then that the con
ductor is in earnest. They are not sc
sure when he is giving display Of
pyrotechnies. The latter may please

crowd wearies Of the wildly gesticu

GOOD NEWS IF TRUE

Rumors which will not be downed
by the forebodings of the most pessi-
mistic were again heard from eastern
centers this week regarding the open
ing of the Crystal River Railroad and
the quarries at Marble.
1t is known a. number of confer
ences have been reid in New York by
men most deeply interested in Marble
and it is stated on semi-official author
ity that these conferences have result
ed in decision to reopen the quar-
ries and finishing mills on a large
scale this coming summer. In this
connec tion, it is also given out that
those most closely connected with the
Crystal River Railroad and mines at
Placita, have determined to start the
ball rolling with these two enter
prises within a few months at most.
1t is generally understood that the
plan of resuming train service on the
Crystal River road signifies that there
is good reason to believe that the pro-
posed visit of Public Health Service
and Vocational Training Department
committees will result in the Red
stone property of ]. C. Osgood being
taken over for a vocational school for
service men. These committees ex-
pected to reach Glenwood, March 18th,
but were delayed. Information
reached Colorado this week that the
committee were arranging their trip
and would come in the near future

OLD BREWERY ON MARKET
institution Of the City Of London, Gen.
turtles Old, Has Been Offered
for Sale.

A solid piece of history is for sale,
the site In Thames street, next to
Cannonstreet station, Of the City of
London Brewery, known since the
days of Queen Elizabeth as the only
brewery in the city Of London. The
date of the foundation Of the brewery
is so remote that 1t Is difficult to fix
the year. There are proofs In various
ancient documents and archives Of the
brewery that it was flourishing in 1880.
Stow mentions 1t. The Calverts, a
family of brewers celebrated In the
annals of the trade for the quality
of their porter, were the most notable
men who brewed beer with Thames
water on that site. In 1760. Sir Will
liam Calvert was the fourth brewer
in London, and Calvert and Seward, Of
Whitecross street, were the first. the
former brewing 81, 1856 barrels. and the
latter 74,704 barrels In that year. Lit
tie of the old buildings remain save
an old mill loft and part of the
wall of the 'Watermen's hall, which
had been burnt down In the fire Of
London in 1866. rebuilt on the site Of
the Allhallowes church, and after
ward incorporated with Calverts. At
the end of the eighteenth century i'm
portant additions and alterations were
made and some Of the walls Of the
present buildings date from 1772.

WOMAN IN ODD BUSINESS
Makes Fair Income by Depriving Bees
of Their Stings, for Sale to
Druggists.

A correspondent of the Boston Her
aid tells of a woman beekeeper In
Auburn, Maine, who for more than
quarter of a century has derived a
good income, not from marketing the
honey, but from selling the stngs.
Manufacturing druggists buy them,
for each sting contains an infinitesi-
NAL quantity Of formic acid, which
druggists extract and sell.
When the woman begins the days
work she lights peculiar lamp. which
throws of dense smoke. That stupe-
fes the bees, and she collects In box
as many as she thinks she will need
for the day. She works In her dining
room with all the curtains drawn ex-
cept the one at the window before
which she sits. Firmly fixed In front
Of her is high-powered magnifying
glass.
She opens the box, gives 1t shake,
and the bees come out. The light of
the window In front Of her attracts
them, and they swarm upon it. She
reaches out with her left hand, plucks
bee from the window and, holding
1t under the glass, takes small pair
Of tweezers in her right hand and
draws the sting. She drops the sting
into cup Of sugar of milk in order
to preserve it. Then she kills the bee
by dropping 1t into a cup of soapsuds,
for stingless bee is of no worth in
the world. The stings are shipped
In glass bottles that hold five hundred
each.
The woman keeps count Of the stings
that she draws each day. On the
average she daily draws about nine
hundred. The greatest number she
ever drew in one day is fifteen hun
dred. Once she took the stings from
one thousand bees in three hours.

Gas Warfare on Rats.

The chemical warfare service has
recently demonstrated that rats can
be killed with poison gas. A mixture
containing 80 per cent Of phosgene
and 20 of chlorine was used. This
was allowed to escape over an area
of 900 square feet. Fifteen rats were
on the area, and they all died from
the effect of the deadly poisonous
gases.
They were killed at cost of 40
cents. Within 10 minutes the phos-
gene had dissipated, while the chlor-
inc gas required 80 minutes to diffuse
beyond the danger point. In view of
the millions of dollars loss caused
yearly by these pests, any means Of
destroying them is welcome.

Monday morning, April 25th, at his
home, 1874 So. Emerson street, Denver,

about ten days with severe bronch-
ial cold, followed by heart complica-
tions.
Mr.. Miner was born in Friendship,
N. Y, February I'd, 1874, from which
place as a lad of seventeen years, he
enlisted in the 136th Regiment, New
York Volunteer Infantry, and was
with the Army of the Potomac until

NEW HIGHWAY COMMISSION
Editor Pilot:

EDITOR Pilot:
see some of the country papers
have taken up what they call the
Comprehensive Road Program, and
are falling in with the Denver bunch.
Ninety-seven per cent of the COM
missioners and the good road men
and 2396 of the Senators were bitter
ly opposed to the program that was
outlined by the Cement Trust and a
few Denver men. That program was
to start from Denver and build ce-
ment roads north, south, east, and
west to cost 40 to so million dollars.
After knocking out the u mill levy
they have something over million n
year revenue besides the bond issue.
1t would take twenty-five to thirty
years to complete those roads, pro-
vided the counties that those roads
do not touch would let them use their
money for those through roads which
they will never do
The road from Denver to Grand
juno tion would cost at least ten mill
lion dollars. 1t is costing $4,000 per
mile to concrete roads in a level
country where they are already built.
So what would it cost to concrete and
build road over Blue mesa, where
the government estimate is 100000 to
build fraction over three miles of
it without concrete. Now you can
;r,ao;pa x,,,ara Gupp;cop Mopfroco
and Delta would get theirs.
And they say they have taken the
road building out of politics by maxi
ing it one-man proposition and that
man responsible only to the Governor,
and can be fired any time by him.
How long do you think republican
holding the best job in the state
would last under a democratic gov
ernor? And the political issue from
now on will be the Highway Engineer,
who can build and abandon any road
There was never any argument in the
Legislature for a one-man, only that
the Governor wanted that bill and il
would put out democrat and put ir
republican at an increased salary
1t took two barrels of good Ken
tuckey whiskey to even make the
good roads and county commissioners
meeting discuss the one-man propo-
sition, and there will be 1870 of the
counties sorry the day they forced
that bill through, and will vote down
any road legislation unless they get
theirs.
The appointing of the seven High
way Board was a farce, the one-man
has the. absolute say.
As sure as there's heaven the
next election will be fought out on
the road question. Bailey and Evans
said it was ring or machine that
was trying to keep the old board in
Now who in hell, machine or ring, was
it, when $50 of the Commissioners
and senators and four out of five of
the Highway Board were republicans.
They all wanted the old law and the
democrats were satisfied with it?
Yours truly,
