If so, the cause of the of instruments is in but a parious t Apart from its perhaps nobler functions as an accompaniment to the intimate occasions of life and death— the birth song, the marriage hymn, the death chant, the undertone of adoration— the organ has another and wide mission to perform in the domain of music pure and simple. With its obvious defects it yet has noble qualities that distinguish 1t from all other instruments—splendid and unique effects, tone values and coloring not otherwise obtainable, besides possess- ing the attraction of being still in the ex- perimental stage of its history.

It will be remembered that the purpose of the Twentieth Century Club in fnau- gurating this concert series is a purely educational one. Believing that music is one of the most potent factors in the uplifting of hu- mankind, the club has scught to provide good music at prices that shall suit the slenderest purse, and hopes in the future, with the loyal support of the music-loving public, to make these even more reason- able than they now are. It is a good cause, and our good wishes go with the club in its worthy endeavor. N On Tuesday evening at Native Sons’ Hall the third concert of the twenty- fourth season of the Loring Club will be given, under David W. Loring's direction. The club will be assisted by Mrs. E. F. Schneider, soprano, a singer new to San Franeisco and who will make ber first ap- pearance at the Loring Club. Mrs. Schneider is a native of Copenhagen and was for several vears a pupll of Mme. Joachim in Berlin, and later of Cosima Wagner at Bayreuth. The club numbers will include four new ones, two settings of Browning’s “Cava- lier Tunes,” by Granville Bantock, among them.

Missionary fanaticism has girded at him for not acting in a spirit of vengeance and inflicting un- discriminating punishment. But he has wisely chosen to treat China just as he, or any American President, would have treated any other nation. In pursuing this course he has contributed to the civilizing of China in the Western sense. The statesmen of that empire, especially the very able and enlightened Ministers at Washington and London, and Li Hung Chang, have asked, and with reason, that their country be treated in that spirit, and through their influence have done all that could be done to impress that idea upon the allies. - But, other nations have dealt in a bloodthirsty spirit with China. Pretending to desire the preservation of the territorial integrity of China, they have deliberately created the situation which imperils that integrity. By the most fantastic and unreasonable demands for the heads of Chinese Princes, and men high in public authority, they have made it possible for Russia, if she choose, to exact Manchuria as a consideration for protection against the bloody policy of the other nations. 1f there be danger of Russianizing Manchuria, of provoking a war with Japan out of which other nations will hardly succeed in keeping, the fault will lie at the doors of France, Germany, Austria and the powers which have compelled China to submit to one kind of disgrace in order to ‘escape a worse. % President McKinley has issued instructions to Commissioner Rockhill, at Peking, to the effect that it is the desire and policy of this country to cease demanding blood atonement, and to leave China free to administer justice to such of her subjects as have violated treaty obliga- tions. It is further conveyed to the other Ministers in Peking that it is the opinion of the Presi- dent that China will remain in dangerous unrest until Von Waldersee ceases his punitive expedi- tions and his boasted battles, which consist of the slaughter of fleeing non-combatants. The Japanese press strongly backs the President’s position. The Nirokee Shinpo, at Tokio, says: “It will be acknowledyed that it is the duty of a civilized nation to set a good example to a semi-civilized nation. But what shall we say when the proudly uniformed soldiers of civilized nations in China have exhibited the worst possible example by robbing, outrages of women and slaughter of innocent men, women and children? No wonder that terror and excitement among surviving natives are so extreme that they are shocked by the mere sight of white soldiers on the road ahd run like frightened deer on the approach of the hunter.” That is the condition which the President desires to end. Count Cassini, the Russian Em- bassador at Washington, evidently regards the report of his Government’s intention to seize Manchuria as a fabrication, invented by the other European powers as a pretext for seizing tcrri- tory themselves. He says that Russia has a concession for extension of the Siberian railway across Manchuria to Port Arthur, and that all she has required is protection of her interest in that con- cession. He declared that a Russian agreement with China would contain only two essential features—first, adequate protection for Russian railwvay interests in Manchuria, and, second, the maintenance of China’s territorial integrity. : If this be the extent of Russia's demands their very modest proportions afford no adequate provocation for the position of the other powers and they are no violation of the spirit in which this country is proceeding. “ - U LORD BOUNTIFUL CARNEGIE. . Aol WIS L O HIS countrymen Mr. Andrew Carnegie seems to have the appalling touch of Midas when it comes to making money. If that were all he had he would excite the fear of all men. Beginning as a poor boy, dependent on himseli, struggling for what education he could get, he has achieved success and wealth that dazzle and might disiress the beholder. But the ability to acquire is not his only nor his greatest gift. His capacity for consid- ering himself the trustee and not the owner of his vast possessions is as remarkable as his capacity for their acquisition. He has given to laudable public purposes, beneficial to mankind and espe- cially useful to youth compelled to struggle as he was, about $20,000,000 a year. To this he re- cently added a fund of $5,000000 to pension his old employes as a reward for their part in mak- ing him successful. About ‘he same time he notified the Technical School at Pittsburg of his intention to endow it with a fund of $25,000,000, and then, upon the eve of sailing for Scotland from New York, he notified that city that he would give it nearly $6,000,000 to invest in free library extension so as to bring 'library facilities within reach of the people of all classes in every section of the city. This wise broadcasting of nearly $40,000,000 in a few weeks is the most re- markable distribution of private wealth for popular use and benefit the world has ever witnessed. It must not be forgotten that he has company among the other American rich men and women, but he leads them all. He has set the pace and many will follow it. There is much food for reflection in this. In no other country have enormous fortunes been as quickly acquired. If that were all, the historian of our times would find but little to write on that head to interest humanity. But when it may also be truthfully said that never since the ap- pedrance of man on the planet was as much of this wealth voluntarily redistributed, given away and gladly bestowed, for purposes useful and helpful to the common people and the poor, history will beamingly record that wealth had an effect upon the American character that was novel and singular, and that, as it accumulated, the springs of benevolence and public spirit were made affluent by it, and from them flowed back into the lives of the people a Pactolian stream whose banks would hardly hold the flood. Andrew Carnegie has made for himself a place in the esteem of his countrymen where at present he stands alone. Others approach the height, but he only has attained it. He seems as re- gardless of applause and to expect it as little as he did for doing his duty as a shop boy, or when he sat at a telegraph instrument sending and receiving messages. He sought nothing then but his wages and the approval of his own conscience, and he bestows fortunes upon public purposes now apparently from the same sense of duty, and as heedless ot comment. The arrangements that have been made for university athletic contests between Great Brit- ain and this country limit the admissions to students of Oxford and Cambridge, in England, and to Harvard and Yale, in the United States; and while there can be no objection made to the limit, since other colleges can arrange contests of their own if they choose, still it will be worth while remembering that such contests should not be spoken of as matches between the university men of Great Britain and of America. There are other universities in both countries that could probably put up better teams than those that enter the ring. S L Colonel Arthur Hamilton Lee of the British army, who was with the United States troops in Cuba, but who now holds a seat.in Parliament, recently told the Commons: “American recruits in physique and intelligence are superior to any other troops in the world”; and now it is up to us to admit that the colonel has an eye to see the truth and a tongue to speak it. Complete census returns from India give the total population at about 294,000,000, bein, an increase of upward of 7,000,000 during the past decade; so it appears that famine, plague and snake bites cannot thin out the population with anything like the effectiveness some persons have supposed ! ; ) The decline in bicycle riding, of which there was so much talk last summer, will doubtless be followed by an increase of the sport this year, for it is announced that King Edward has taken to the wheel and goes cycling almost every day. L o e e O g long since ceased even to suggest any- thing dramatie. As we turn wearily away from the drear prospect of this dramatic desert, the last direction in which we should think of looking for relief is Chicago, yet oddly enough it is from Chicago there comes to me this week a book of plays interesting enough to renew my waning faith in the gg!fllbfllll?s of the drama and to make me lleve again, with Charles Lamb, that the theater is indeed ‘‘the most delightful of recreations.” For I defy any one whose nervous system is less stolid than that of a mastodon to read Mr. Shaw's ‘‘Three Plays for Puritans” (Stone, Chicago) without feeling that life has a new zest, that the possibilities of wit, humor and fantasy are not yet exhausted; that the soul of Sheridan has returned to earth, that it is now inhabiting the recomposed body of Schopenhauer, and that the com- bination is masquerading under the name of Shaw. That a man's avocation should bring to him the joy of reading such a book almost reconciles him to the sad task of having to go to the theater fifty- two times a year. Of the three plays in this book, I pro- pose to-day to deal only with one, ‘“The Devil's Disciple.” As Mr. Shaw points out in his sub-title, this pretends to be noth- ing more than a melodrama. and was evidently written (for Mr. Mansfield) witk. a direct desire for financial success. To quote from the author’s preface: “It does not contain a single even passably novel incident. Every old patron of the Adelphi pit would, were he not beglam- ored in a way presently to be explained, recognize the reading of the will, the op- pressed orphan finding a protector, the arrest, the heroic sacrifice, the court- martial, the scaffold, the reprieve at the last moment, as he recognizes beefsteak pudding on the bill of fare at his restau- rant. Yet when the play was produced in 1897 in New York by Richard Mansfield, with a success that proves either that the melodrama was bullt on very safe old lines, or that the American public is com- posed exclusively of men of genijus, the critics, though one sald one thing and one sald another as to the play’s merits, yet all agreed that it was novel—original, as they put it—to the verge of audacious eccentricity.” Into Mr. Shaw's humorous explanation of this paradox, lack of space forbids me to go; to be appreciated it must be read. Suflice it here to note that his construc- tion, as he so frankly concedes, is in- deed perfectly conventional and. on that account. successful with the groundlings; were this all. his play would not be worth printing. What gives it vitality is the portraiture of three characters—Mrs, Dudgeon, the Puritan mother; Mr. Ander- son, the’ fighting preacher. and General Burgoyne, the aristocratic soldler—all drawn to the life, In the most finished style of dramatic art. Who that ever lived in a little England village can fall to recognize Mrs. Dudgeon? Her face ‘“even at its best, is grimly trenched by the channels { Into which the barren forms and observ- ances of a dead Puritanism can pen a bitter temper and a flerce pride. She is an elderly matron who has worked hard and got nothing by it except dominion and detestation in her sordid home and an unquestioned reputation for piety and respectability among her neighbors— short of flat felony she enjoys complete license except for amiable weakness of any sort and is consequently, without knowing it. the most licentious woman in the parish.” Would I had space to quote here the entire opening scene where by action and interaction the traits above in- dicated—her character—are admirably brought out. But two or three speeches muyst suffice. New rs. Dudgeon (threateningly)—Well, why don’t you wake up? (She sees that the girl—her niece—is asleep and im- mediately raises a_clamor of heartfelt vexation). Well, dear, dear me! Now this is—(shaking her) wake up, wake up; do you hear? The Girl (sitting up)—What is it? Mrs. Dudgeon—Wake up: and be ashamed of yourself, you-unfeeling, sin- ful girl, falling asleep like that and your father hardly cold in his grave! ;he Girl—I didn't mean to. I dropped offai Mrs. Dudgeon (cutting her short)—Oh, yes—you've plenty of excuses, I daresay. dropped off!

He lives in it and for it. He la- bors to beautify it and that he may have the leisure to enjoy it! The parlor is the family throne room. Pattosien’s, in the Mis~ sion, will exhibit this week a new lot of parlor suits—seventy of them—just from their own fac- tory on the premises, made up during the winter months. The finest upholstering, too. Itis the richest and handsomest line of suits that was ever shown for twice the money, $15 to $150, in solid mahogany. “Blessed be he who invented sleep,” said Sancho Panza. But doubly blessed be he who sells you beds to sleep in at such ridi« culously low prices. All this veek/ a new lot of bedroom suits will be shown. Over 100 different patterns—oak, walnut, maple of mahogany—at prices that no downtown store could think of offering them at. A blunder is a bright intention with dust in its eyes. There is no let-up to the run for enameled steel beds. Lots of new patterns have just arrived. A special lot of a new pattern with heavy frame, brass rod and tops; full bed size; regular $o, and you can get them this week at Mission and Sixteenth streets for $6.75. B.
