A NOBLE CAREER ENDS One of the world’s noblest characters passed away when Ignace Jan Paderewski, famed pianist and former premier of Roland, died in New York a few days ago at the age of 80. During his lifetime his unsurpassed playing earned for, him more than seven million dollars, most of which he gave away. Paderewski was born on November 6, 1860, in Russian Poland, and although he began the study of piano at an early age he was not considered a musical prodigy in his youth. But he was an indefatigable stu- dent, and made some minor concert tours before his debut in Vienna at the age of 27. pianist was one of unbroken success, which ended only about two years ago, when ill health forced his retirement. composed an opera, a symphony, a concerto for piano and orchestra and many smaller works, his Minuet being a ‘universal fa- vorite. During the World War he devoted the proceeds of his concerts to the relief of Polish war sufferers, and he was one of the leaders in organizing the Polish Re- | public, of which he became premier in | 1919. He contributed more than two mil- lion dollars to the new republic, but re- signed as premier after.a few months. He established the Paderewski Fund to pro- vide prizes for American composers 1900, and his philanthropies were many and varied. Raderewski possessed all the charac- lamented throughout the civilized world.
