An Old Document.

Jesse Barber, of Wyoming. brought
to this office an old document cnti-
tied "Swift'S Directions" purportin"
10 locate the tabled Swift's silver
mine. The directions given are very
explicit directions to anyone knowing
the starting point. The document l.
very old, written with quill and IN
a lcgihlc hand and Mr.. Barber claims
that ihiS document was written he
fore the Declaration of lndcpcn-
drncc. He obtained this document
from an old lady in Fleming county
who said that il was handed down
by her grandfather who was ninety
three years old and died about fifty
wear. ago. He i believed To have
come into possession of il in the wear
1872. The supposition Is that Swift
and man named Munday came into
Kentucky prior to the Revolutionary
war and discovered silver mine
somewhere in Eastern Kentucky, and
smclted and made into bars Il great
deal of silver. According to tradition
Munday was captured by the Indians
and Swift became blind and dictated
these directions. Many diliGent
searches have been made for Swift'S
treasure hut nothing has ever been
found. Judge Kerr in hi, exhaustive
History of Kentucky recently pub
liShed, reluctantly pronounces the
story of the Swift silver mine a myth.

impression. Her voice was used with q
good deal Of skill She was most effec-

BRAZILIAN PIANIST PLAYS.
Alfredo Oswald Gives Annual New
York Recital.

Alfredo Oswald. Brazilian pianist,
gave his annual New York recital yes
terday afternoon at Town Hall. His
varied program had some novelty. 1t
included Buesser's plano arrangements
of 'Deux Pieces Breves," by Cesar
Franck, the great Belgian composer.
who was born one hundred years ago
to-day an interesting "Prelude and
Fugue." by the italian writer Girolamo
Frescobaldi, distinguished organist of
the seventeenth century: an "Etude" on
a popular Brazilian rhythm, and q
"Scherzo," both by the recitalists father,
II. Oswald, of Brazil. and in the OPEN
ing group, after the italian piece and
two selections from Scarlatti, Beetho-
ven'e "Appassionata" sonata, a work re-
ceiving much attention here this season
by a list Of pianista, headed by
Paderewski. Mr.. Oswald performed his
program with musical insight and a
dignified taste. His fine finger tech
mic was often at variance with his
pedal work In loud passages. but his
general work was that Of well trained
artist.

Gerhardt I'm Song Recital.

Miss Elena Gerhardt gave a song re-
cital in Aeolian Hall last evening She
occupied herself entirely with Schubert's
famous song cycle, die Winterreise," Z"
composed to poems by Wilhelm Mueller
and regarded as one of the greatest
works of the musician. The cycle is not
often heard. 1t has been sung within
the past two years by Nelson Hing
worth and Rudolf Jung. in neither in
stance with great satisfaction to the
audience or honor to the composition
Nor can 1t be said that it was ade-
quately delivered last evening by Miss
Gerhardt. who managed to impart some
thing of poetry and sentiment to the
piano passages, but became veritable
tempest whenever force was needed. She
is singer of intelligence but not much
vocal art Her song interpretations are
of kind dearly loved in Germany and
by Germans here: but there is always
ground for suspicion that the melting
sentiment Of Mueller's poems touches
these auditors when much Of Schubert s
beautiful melody Is shattered.
The singing of song cycles Is not
practiced as much in this town as 1t
used to be. Nor Is IL possible any more
to sing them without interruption as
they ought to be sung. Taste has
changed and hardly for the better. Audi
ences like to hear themselves making
joyful sounds after each song and not
to sit in rapt silence through half an
hour of lyric Interpretation. And Schu-
bert's loveliness Is lost on many of those
who are in these days living on excite
ment. Nevertheless, II some one would
sing the '.Winterreise' as 1t should be
sung there would probably be an awalk-
ening
