other than profound respect would
not even get as far as the hospital.

of his life. Both are decea sed. Their

THE old Arth family home. $40 Sec
ond street northwest. is still owned
by Christopher Arth's heirs. The Sun
day night concerts there were famous
throughout old Washington. After
the closing of Ford's Theater the
Rambler assumes that he was leader
OF the orchestra at Ford's Opera
House and that he remained til ere
until he became conductor of the Ma
tlonal Theater Orchestra in 1878. He
became conductor of the orchestra at
Albaugh'S Opera House., succeeding
Robert c. Bernays, who died He
continued as the leader at Albaugh s
for about 10 years. Chris Arth. jr,
conductor of the Academy of Music
Orchestra. was made musical director
of the New National Theater, and
Mr.. Arth, sr., joined his sons orches-

death. Prof. Arth's orchestra played

nn violinist, composer, con-
W. ductor and good fellow, and
l. i The Rambler gives him a
friendly - almost loving
slap on the back at the beginning of
this story. 1t is happy playwork to
tell you of the Arth family, one of
the old music families of Washington.
Before the name Arth got in the
Washington directory it was name
that stood for good music in Ger
many. Christopher Arth the elder
had seven daughters, and the Rambler
would rather write of one of them
than of Chris the younger-not one
OF those emOtionleSS newspaper arti-
cleS. you know, which any one may
read, but poems about sparkling eyes
and captivating airs, gay laughter,
fairy graces, lips that enchant, and
then lay the lines in little casket
with forget-me- nots and memory.
Christopher Arth the elder was a
musician. PlatitudiniSts would say
that he was musician of note, a mu-
slclan OF ability and a musician of
standing. He was also a magician.
He could work charms and spells
with his Amati and his 'Strad.'' His
bow of rosewood and rosined horse
hair was wand that called up inn
ages bright. To damsels and young
men ii sung of bowers, glinting moon
light, affairs with orange blossom
wreaths, a cottage and a cradle. To
folks of greater years he called from
his magic fiddle scenes of youth
happy recollectionS.
The songs from Chris Arth's fiddle
were better than songs from Triton's
wreathed- horn and Pans pipes. Per
haps Orpheus played better on the
lutte than the Rambler's old friend
Chris o.. the violin, but Orpheus and
his dame Eurydice were before my
time. | have heard that Pluto and
Proserpine and divers rocks and trees
applauded Orpheus, but if he ever
played in Washington it was before /
moved in from Uniontown. Also.
Pluto may have been no better musi-
cal critic than some critics we have
now That's. a tough thing to say
about d man so prominent as Pluto,
but if he comes to the seventh floor
of The Star Building the messenger
boy in the lobby Will tell him where /
can be found. Rhadamanthus and
Cerberus will be welcome.
The name Arth ought to bring you
recollections of Albaugh's Grand Op-
era House, even back to the time
when it was opened by the Emma
Abbott Opera Company. 1t ought to
make YOU think of Abners Summer
Garden. where, mid palms and lights,
you listened TO Arth'S Orchestra and
quaffed from tlagons a fluid brewed
by Heurich. Portner. Abner &
Drury. Pabst and others, marked
Maerzen. Old Glory and Blue Label,
but which | will not name lest some
readers shudder with revulsion and
write letters TO the editor asking that
the Rambler be fired. You ought to
think of Wither's Orchestra, which
played at F'ord'S Theater, and played
there before and between the acts of

n numbers, our North American
wild roses rank after those of Eu-
rope and Asia, yet we have some
thirty species.
Though these are not, with one
minor exception, a part of our double
garden roses and rarely seen culti-
waited save in-botanic collections, they
are still so abundant as wild plants
that to few people does the sugges-
tion come to cultivate them Of
course, writes S. f. Hamilton of the
Harvard Botanic Garden in Nature
Magazine, there are no double wild
roses, but a rose need not be double
to be beloved.
Were the American sorts given the
centuries of care that have been the
lot of the Provence, Damask and Tea,
our fancy cannot depict what might
evolve
our Wild roses are common, easily
grown and beautiful They should
be given the admira ton and advan-
tages afforded the eEuras sian species.
To love them and TO grow them we
must know them apart, for few are
sold by dealers, and the identity is not
often carefully preserved
Our roses are of three areas. The
five of our Eastern States are alike in
general way, two are common
through the central section and the
Rockies have a large group entirely
their own.
Our Eastern wild roses are very sim
liar, but one is set apart by nature for
special virtues. Except at the base
of the stoutest canes there are no
prickleS, bristles or other spiny
growth, and the smooth purple red
stems of the Meadow Rose Or. blanda)
are one of the bright spots of Winter
bushes.
In late May and all of June ii bears
great clusters OF wild rose blossoms,
as heavy a burden of flowers as any
rose can boast. 1t should be grown
wherever bushes are planted. but few
dealers sell it, and many nature low
ers never separate it mentally from
our other wild roses.
1t is almost an orphan among roses,
for its nearest relatives are the CHINA
mon and Pyrenees Roses of Europe,
and these are thorny. It's home is
eastern Canada, New England. New
York and westward around the Lakes
TO illinois,
Unlike most wild roses, it prefers
an a'laJine soil. and when in cultiva-
ton L. Al acid soil the quantity and
color of flowers is greatly improved
by liberal feeding of coal ashes When
seen in full glory in June there is no
desire for any one to exclaim over the
super-superb beauties of Oriental wild
roses.

it. of course, as a shelter for us, but
as distinguished a litterati as my
adopted son may be in his native
land, his knowledge does not extend to
the art of war. AS it was built, it
appeared to me that we would rather
protect the barricade with our bodies
than he protected by it, but | am
myself far from being expert in that
matter and no great general hap
pened to be there to enlighten us.
Seldom have I spent such a delight
full night as that one. when at each
minute we expected an attack. But
it was not the prospect of that event
which gave charm to my vigil.
Seated at the entrance of his tent. Il
bowl of tea near him, Tsering sang
ballads thousands of years old of the
land of Khan, marking the cadence
by striking with a small rod on a
Tihetan cauldron in which we cooked
over our camp fire. The songs eXtol
the primeval forests whence arise
shining peaks clad with eternal SHOWS,
and the high deeds of rustic knights.
Robbers they are like those whose
presence in our neighborhood com
PEELED us to watch like the watch
man himself. who-T know it-has
played his part in more than one hot
encounter-like the three others who
are now acting as sentinels, like all
in that land of primitive braves who
do not conceive of any other field in
which to show their prowess than the
trails followed by the rich caravans.
Tsering had a fine voice, still sweet,
heroic accents mingled with mystic
ones. The songs told not only of
warriors but of merciful goddesses
and holy lamas. and some stanZas fin
ished with ardent aspirations toward
the spiritual awakening that puts an
end to fear and all sorrow. The vul-
gar cauldrcn itself had risen to the
level of that poetry; its metal sounded
solemn as a bell: TSering. was indie
fatigable; he went on till dawn with
his bewitching recital.
