Handel, immortal Composer, Had Re.
markabIe Escape From Death in
Duel in Early Life.

The great composer Handel was
born at Halle, February "a 1854, and
at the outset OF his professional life,
which was about his twentieth year,
he was nearly lost to the world by
quarrel with one Matthewson, an
able musician, who violently assault
ed him. A duel ensued, and nothing
but score buttoned under Handers
coat and on which bis antagonists
weapon broke, saved his life, which
was destined to prove of inestlmable
value to the whole world.
In performing on the organ his
command Of the instrument was
amazing, as was the fullness of his
harmony and the grandeur and dig
nifty of his style. Handel wore an
enormous white wig, and when things
went well at the oratoriOs It had a
certain nod or vibration which de-
noted his satisfaction and pleasure
Without this signal 1t was certain
that he was out of humor.
He never married and died pos

queathed one-half to the fund for de-
cayed musicians, while the remainder

small deficit amounting to something
like fifty dollars, but this the commit

is allsset now for. the opening Of the
1922 season, for which the course
has been booked, and the committee
wishes to assure those interested that
the numbers selected for presentation
here next season will be Of the same
high class as those of this years
course. .....
The committee also wishes to thank
you who supported this years course,
and state that the sum of seventy
nine cents will be turned over to the
School Improvement League as the
amount left in the treasury after pay
ing all expenses.
