ance here with orchestra singing
"Una Furtive Largrima," from Don
tzetti's "L'Elisir d'Amore," and "Che
Gelida Mamma" from Puccini's ia
Boheme." At the end of the program
he gave group of songs accom-
panied by Miguel Sandoval which
called forth the demand for many
encores.
Mr.. Martini was not in the best
of voice yesterday in the arias al
though he followed the traditional
Interpretation with an easy vocal
tone. The songs which he gave la
ter are familiar ones having been
included in former recital programs
here. They were Rachmaninoff'
The Floods of Spring" Campbell
Tipton's. The Spirit Flower" Gre
ver's "Bolero" and Serrano's Eel
Trust de los Tenorios." After the
two arias he sang an encore the La

gram, Ponce's "Estrellita," Benz
berg's I'll Neige" "Vous Dansez,
Marquise" and Non Yer"
The orchestra gave as its selec-
tions the Dvorak Carnival Over

G Major, KV.63" With the lively
overture with its stirring tempo,
gay dance melodies and general
| joyous mood started the program
off with spirit. In the fine points
of stressing accents and rhythm
the orchestra has made great prog
ress and what gave vitality to the
gay music of Dvorak brought a grace
and gentle liveliness to this Cas-
sation" symphony, the work of q
14-year-old genius. The perform

audience.
Mr.. Spier has shown his versatility
in the manner in which he has rung
a variety of changes on theme to
express the end he had in mind,
which Is recorded in the names of
the different movements-elevato,
doloroso, resvegliato, serene and jub-
iloso. BY an understanding use of
the orchestral voices he has con-
trived a work that is full of stamina
closely allied to a finer thought be-
hind it. The way in which the con-
struction and the idea progress side
by side Is the result of the kind of
obsession that composers long for
and do not always find. For this
reason also, 1t grips the attention
from the first moment and does not
lose its hold until the end
Peak of Emotional Writing.
The first movement has periods
when the line is short and an inter-
esting melodic idea too quickly aban-
doned, but this does not appear in
the succeeding movements. The skill
full turning of material to varied
moods, although the turning is not
so much a matter of skill as of deep
inspiration, begins to make itself felt
in the doloroso, where the under
current of sorrow is indicated in
powerful fashion. The climax might
be said to come in the sereno, where
both thought and its musical ex-
preston are exquisitely united in one
of the loveliest bits of writing Open
ing with a duet between flute and
harp it continues in the deeper or
chestra tones that now rise exult-
antly and again return to the orig
inal poetic calm.
Mr.. Spier. who has shown his
originality before in works that have
had subjects that require tonaI
knowledge for presentation, has
reached peak of emotional writ
ing in this work. 1t bears the stamp
of the real to which is joined a
smooth and facile workmanship
The impression made on his lis
teners was a profound one.

Lee W. Reat Asphyxiated By
 Monoxide Gas

Lee HdTueT ftedl, li-yedr-OlQ son of MT and Mrs. Ralf Reat, was asphyxiated Saturday after noon by monoxide gas at the pump station of the Allyn Wat CT Delivery. He had left town sometime before four o'clock with the Caterpillar and tank and when he failed to return in nor nal time, Cliff Allyn decided to walk out and investigate. Near ing Belmont Point he heard the sound of the Caterpillar motor, and believing the rig was com ing along, decided 10 wait in the US. Engineers quarters.
 When young Reat still failed to appear he became markedly uneasy and ran on toward where he saw the cat and tank parked near the red bridge on Snake riv CT. He saw no sign of the young man and immediately proceeded to the well,
 Opening the door he saw the youth lying unconscious on the floor and realized instantly that his condition was probably due to monoxide gas, which, incident ly, is practically odorless. He aired out the pump house and rushed to town for assistance.
 A delivery truck immediately made a hurryup trip to the scene and they brought the unfortunate lad to the hospital. By this time, part of one leg and one hand had become slightly frost bitten. He was still alive when brought in, and though the staff at the Hospital worked strenuously for several hours 10 revive him, he passed away.
 According to his instructions, said reports, young Reat was to drain the pump when he left on his final trip to town. From the position of things it appeared he had overlooked it until he got to the red bridge From there it was supposed he ran back to drain the pump. It was believed that when he opened the door and stepped inside he immediately fainted from the effects of the gas before he had been able to drain the pump.
 The sympathy of the entire com munity goes out to the saddened parents who, struck by the un- expected death of their son, were prostrated. He had been alive and active turnout the day, leaving home in the morning and work Ing about the town. Many had seen him leaving for his last trip to the well and remarked how en ergetic and full of life he was.
 Prominent among the younger element of Nome, a senior in the local high school, and active in sports and athletics and other school activities, Lee Reat was admired and well thought of by his many school chums and old CT acquaintances. His passing comes as sharp blow to all.
