3 in c Minor" with Myra Hess, pianist.
and Sascha Jacobsen, violinist. The
program was the second one featuring
Brahms compositions given last week.
A VALUABLE addition to patriotic
musical literature is the song
poem written by Samuel B. Petten-
gill, Representative from Indiana, and
dedicated to the President Of the
United States, which has recently been
set to music by Principal Musician
Siegfried Scharbau of the United
States Marine Band.
Mr.. Pettengill has titled his poem
1.-THE Dome of the Capitol" with the
opening lines II have not yet found
the cadence, OF the song of the Capt.
tolls Dome. 1t is long. slow measure.
The swing of the decades is in it, And
the beat is the timing of generations,
1t is a long, slow cadence, That poets
have not found"
The poem gives colorful picturi-
Zation of the trek Westward of the
oxen-drawn covered wagons, of the
early canoes that padded down the
great rivers on voyage of explora-
ton. The harvest fields of the Middle
West. the towering mountain ranges,
the mighty spectacle of Niagara and
the boundary waters of the two great
oceans inspire the poet to a lyric
description of the greatness and vast
ness of his country.
Linked to this emphasis on the
monumental features of the land are
the imperishable words of its great
statesmen in verse beginning with
the opening lines of the Declaration
Of Independence and the Constitution
and quoting from the famous speeches
of Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln
and Thomas Jefferson.
THE composition, which Is intended
for the 150th celebration of the
drawing up of the Constitution, was
written by Mr.. Scharbau for voice
with orchestral accompaniment. The
score covers IS pages, with leading
motives skillfully brought out at vari-
Gus points for stressing, and an occa-
sional use of musical fractions from
American national songs and folk
tunes, as harmonic background for
the voice.
An imposing prelude. in which the
principal themes are heard, is played
by the orchestra alone Mr.. Schar-
bau, who wrote the music for the
Yorktown Bicentennial and many
other compositions. has spent nine
months on this work, which promises
to be one of the finest expressions of
patriotic sentiment in the repertoire
Of national music.

where her pure gift Of song has
aroused the enthusiasm of the diff
cult-to-please public in European
capitals.
Her last appearance in this city did
not need the Endorsement of European
authorities to prove that she is one
of the greatest artists Of the day. She
is not specialist, as might be sup
posed, In music of her own race, but a
true interpreter Of the great music of
all nations. Her voice is magnificent
one, in quality, range and production.
gloriously warm and full, and capable
of great expression. She herself is
modesty personified, with a simplicity
of manner in keeping with her atti-
tude toward her art.
When one realizes the distance
which existed at the beginning be-
tween Miss Anderson and the music
of which she has become such pro-
found student and exponent one has
slight idea of the extent of her
artistry. which has made deep i'm
preston on both European and
American audiences.
She represents, more than any other
artist before the public today, the
strength of genius which finds its way
through all obstacles. To hear this
simple young colored woman with the
glorious voice sing the great German
lieder, the dignif1ed classics or the
ingratiating French songs is an ex-
perience not likely to be soon forgot
ten. Steadily. year by year, she has
grown In celebrity, until her reception
at her recent New York recitals has
outstepped all bounds. Today she is
known as one of the great artists in
the world of song.
THE appearance of Hans Kinder in
the role of cellist last Monday
at Memorial Continental Hall was not
the first time he has been heard in
concert since becoming conductor of
the National Symphony Orchestra, as
was enormously announced. On JAM
uary 81. 1881, and again on January
Is, 1888, DR.. Kinder played at the
Wednesday morning musicales of Mrs.
Lawrence Townsend at the Mayflower
Hotel. and both times was joint artist
with Myra Hess. with whom he ap-
peared last Tuesday. At the 1881
concert Or. Kinder and Miss Hess
played the violin sonata by Cesar
Franck. which, though written for
violin and piano is often played py
cellists. On the program two years
later the sonata was repeated by re-
quest. Both artists were heard in solo
numbers also, but Dr. Kinder has not
appeared publicly in Washington as
soloist since that time. Monday night
he was the cellist in Brahms Trio No.

For the first time since she has

And yet today, at the age Of SO,

the English army as a youth and
saw service in the difficult Egyp-
tian campaign.
On this discharge he came to the
United States. and enlisted in the
cavalry, being stationed at Fort
Myer until his discharge. Then
in 1891 he joined the Metropolitan
Police Department.
He was assigned to "Foggy Bot.

him, beat him horribly and were
about to throw him down a sewer
when he was rescued. Weeks in q
