that no amount of talent will do you
any good If you don't work on it.
1T is almost impossible to get young

biographies of musicians, composers
and teachers and at the end a list of
the musical compositions over the GEN.
turies. Such a mammoth work is in
deed valuable for every one interested
in music. Sufficient data are given
to provide a general idea of whatever
subject one seeks to know about and
it is safe to say that any one studying
this book would be thoroughly edu-
Gated from an all-round standpoint
and be able to listen intelligently to
concert programs. Not every one has
the time to delve into the resources of
special libraries on music, but here is
comprehensive outline of music in
general and those who have made 1t
what it is, right at hand.
A significant line in the preface
states that while the work is world
wide in scope. American music and
musicians are here given greater con-
sideration than they have ever been
accorded in previous encyclopedias"
Young Stephan Hero, Polish-Ameri-
can violinist and son-in-law Of 1turbi,
makes a plea for young artists. He
suggests that the leading orchestras Of
the country bind themselves to an
agreement whereby they will give one
young artist year chance to appear
with them. He contends that many Of
the rising musicians are not only
highly talented but throughly estab-
lished in the music circles, yet they
have not the box ONCE attraction"
which is the cry Of managers and oy-
phonies are usually assured of their
financial backing before the season
begins, they could afford to risk the
taxing on of young artist, MIR. Hero
believes.
The memorial to Stephen Foster at
the University of Pittsburgh has finally
been completed. Ten years have been
devoted to the planning, financing and
constructing of the building which is
to house all data concerning the life
and work of Foster and a large audi
torium for concerts, lectures and dra-
matte productions. In the left wing is
a shrine to Fosters memory and the
Foster Hall collection which was
founded by Josiah Kirby Lilly in In
dianapolis and which comprises more
than 10000 items.
A tablet on the wall acknowledges
the worlds Indebtedness to Mr.. Lilly,
who "as a boy found comfort and
courage and JOY in the songs Of Steph-
en- Foster. In payment of this "un-
payable debt" he gathered the facts of
Fosters life and his songs into the
Foster Hall collection and gave the
collection in trust to the University
of Pittsburgh"
In the shrine, lighted by stained
glass windows on which can be seen
the themes of the best-loved Foster
melodies, are to be found facsimiles
of all of the first editions obtainable.
All Of Mr.. Lilly's priceless labor of
love, including Fosters flute, melodeon
and his Bible. prayer book and die
tionary. are now on view in the new
memorial. Included in the collection
of music arrangements of the melo-
dies which Mr.. Lilly has sponsored and
collected is a medley arranged for
concert band by LuiZ Guzman of the
Marine Band, an orchestral arrange
ment of which was played on the
Grofe program this summer at the
water gate.

REGISTRATION OF
VOTERS Is LESS
THAN YEAR 1886
LIST TO-DAY SHOWED S.I05;
DURING PREVIOUS YEAR
THERE WE'RE 5.s22 REGIS
TRATIONS

Discussing the registration rolls
for the year 1888 with Supervisor
of Registration John England to-
day, he told The Citizen that the
registration of voters today was
a good many less than in 1886.
The exact figures as given by
Mr.. England for the previous
year were 5,522, while the num-
Der of registrations at II o'clock
today totalled 5,105.
When the books were opened to
begin the registration in the 10
different precincts, the total
shown on the books was 4,725.
Since that time there have been
added to the list $50 names, which
added to the 4,725 recorded when
the books were opened this year,
makes the number now qualified
5,105.
The difference between the
1886 registration and that of the
present date, is AIT, but it must
be remembered, it was said, that
the disqualified list, which will
be published tomorrow, contains
the names of 568 voters who
have been declared to be without
the right of franchise
Mr.. England said that there is
a possibility of quite few names
being added to the list of today,
during the time the books will
remain open for registration.
This means that the books will
be available for the addition of
the names of voters for two more
weeks, and on the last day of reg
istration, which will be April 30,
the office will be kept open until
midnight of that date, if found
necessary.
