KNEISEL AND HIS ART -USIC-LOVERS will be Interested to IVf know that Mr. Knelsel, of the world- renowned Knelsel quartet, which will be heard at the MarQUatn Theater April 29, under the direction ot Lola Steers and "Wynn Coman, is considered a great leader. The "Worcester Musical Leader says: "There is no doubt of the place which Knelsel occupies and there can be but little doubt of the position he -will oc cupy. Looking at him without prejudice as to his art one is forcibly reminded of a certain likeness to Theodore Thomas as he must Save been in his younger days. There is much the same Quiet elegance which distinguishes the older man ob servable In Knelsel, and while the latter is of the newer school and type, he yet possesses many of the dignified Qualities of Theodore Thomas. Knelsel is a more polished, genial man personally, and his men serve him with much respect and personal regard. The Thomas men, it is mid, serve their .leader with more awe than love. There is a big future .for Kneisel and the time is not far distant when he will take rank with the famous conductors of the world. In some re spects It -was well for him to sever his connection with the Boston Symphony Orchestra as concertmaster; well, per haps, before ho "had become a routine and machine-like musician, and there is TKJssibly a wider field of usefulness await ing him and hlB gifts. Anyhow, his con ducting at the Worcester festival leads one to-"this belief." DOMAIN OF MUSIC.

Ho attracted the attention ot Johann Strauss and by him was taken to Vienna, -where he was made 'cello soloist of the Johann Strausci Orchestra. It was at this period of his career that he be came one of Mr. Strauss' chief advisers," and aided him In the production of "Die Fleder maus" ("The Bat"). Mr. Herbert came to America at the Invitation of the late Pro? feasor Damrosch and played with him in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He then became a great favorite In Boston as a 'cellist. Since leaving Boston he has been leader of the Pittsburg Philharmonic Society, and Is now conducting Sunday-night concerts at the Ma Jestlc Theater, New York City. "Chopin and Bach should be studied every day," said Ignace PaderewskI recently. "Strange as It may eeem. Iconslder Bach and Chopin kindred spirits. Chopin, al. though upon superficial examination, his compositions eeem antithetical to Bach, was more Influenced by the great Johann Sebas ilan than by any other composer. Of course Beethoven, Bach and Chopin must be studied not only with Intelligence, but also with Parish of Kingsley, Oregon Life of Catholic Priest Whose District Embraces Area of 13,000 Miles With Catholic Population of Only 200 Father M. J. Hlcken in Occidental Magazine. ojr INGSLEY Is a small village of some half a dozen houses In about the center of ' AVasco County. Oregon, and 25 miles from The Dalles. Two and a half miles from this village there Is a small frame church, and a frame house, where the priest lives when "at home." When the priest reaches this Isolated little home, dusty and tired In Summer, or half frozen in Winter, after six hours' staging from The Dalles, he proceeds to open up the house for' ventilation, shut for a month or more. He next kindles a fire, gets hiis buckets and goes some 500 yards for water tn a. neighbor's In the ravine or canyon near by. But he enjoys one great luxury which can never be appreciated by one unfamiliar with our novel conditions and surroundings. " He can go out on his front porch and take a most refreshing, gen erous wash undisturbed and unobserved by living thing, save, perhaps, by the ubiquitous jackrabblt or hungry coyote. Kingsley parish emnraces an wasco , County except The Dalles and a narrow strip aloriK the Columbia River to Hood River; all Sherman County, and at present , the Counties of Crook and "Wheeler over . 13,000 square miles. The total population of the four counties Is only 23.0S3, and the Catholic population 200 souls, or some H) families, of whom about one-half may be counted on to support the church and He,sr sympathy. Great attention must be paid to phrasing, which Is just as Important in music as It is in poetry. To the casual student Bach's Wohltemperlrtes Clavier, his Thirty three Variations on a Theme, and his 'Inven tions' are merely mathematical. This view does Bach a very grave Injustice, for he Is often as truly a lyric poet of the pianoforte as Chopin himself. You must acquire the habit of listening ' to what you are playing; only In this way can you criticise your tone production, variety of touch and the general artistic effect ot what you are playing. You must give to the piano a soul and poetical ex pression.-' During the past week Miss Frances A. ! 8heehy has removed her music studio to her new residence. 315 Eleventh street, comer of Clay. Since her return last year from study under William H. Sherwood and Daniel Protheroa, in Chicago. Mlas Sheehy has been teaching piano and harmony very successfully. The, good results obtained by her may be at tributed to the fact that. In her work. In addi tion to instruction In interpretation and technique, special attention Is given to the important subjects of applied theory, mem orizing music, and teaching of children. Miss Sheehy believes that harmony should be made practical for every- piano student, and with this Idea, she has arranged courses for the benefit ot thoee who are sot In her piano classes and yet wish to purauo this stu-Iv. To conduct these and other lessons. Miss Sheehy will remain In th city during the Summer. Students will remember that the house in which Joseph Haydn composed his "Season" and "Creation." and In which he afterwards died, was In danger of being demolished and replaced by a new building. The Vienna. Town Council baa, however, recognized that it is Its duty to buy this hlstorio house and to preserve. It for all time. The museum, which has been established there for some time, and which is visited by many Englishmen and Americans passing through Vienna, will, ot course, remain permanent In the old build ing. The Haydn Museum consists enly ot two small rooms on the first floor, once In habited by the great composer, and a narrow, dark attic, lit by one very email -window. Here he took refuge when his wife had her petulant days and filled the whole house with her loud voice, and here Haydn wrote some of his more mature works. The small stove which he had placed there Is still to be seen. In the two rooms on the first floor there are many relics and articles recalling Haydn and his contemporaries, such as portraits, engrav ings, letters and the manuscripts of his com positions. There Is also his piano, made by a Vienna firm In 1700. The Instrument l half-decayed and has lost almost all Its tone. It Is worthy, of note that all the great mas ters were fond of dance music, and wrote a. good deal of it themselves, says Henry T. FInck. The number ot tho Bach dances Is legion. Mozart said that he who could not create any good danco music waa really no good composer. Beethoven wrote 13 Landler and other dance pieces. Nothing gave Schu bert more pleasure than to ett at th piano while his friends were dancing, and Improvise those entrancing waltzes which Liszt's ver sion mace still more fascinating, and which all pianists play con amore. Chopin wrote no fewer than 16 waltzes. Brahms wrote waltzes not enly for piano, but for the voice, and called them "love songs" Llcbeslleder walzcr. Wagner wrote a waltz In 'Die Mels terslnger." Tchalkowsky Introduced one In a symphony. Yet our pedantic orchestral direc tors are trying to be more dignified and ex clusive than Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin. Brahma, Wagner and Tchalkowsky! The Strauss waltzes are really Intended for the concert hall quite as much as for the ball room. They are animated by a poetic rubato, or capricious coquetry of movement, which raises them far above ordinary dance music, and makes them quite as worthy of a place at symphony concerts as Chopln'6 waltzes at niano recitals. Let us have a little less pedantic dignity, a little more emotion and human nature about our concerts, and good music will maka more rapid strides In popu lar appreciation. Too much dignity is the death of art. Let us recall what happened In Vienna wme years ago, when Hans Richter put a Liszt rhapsody, Grieg's Peer Gynt suite, and Weber's "Invitation" on -a Philharmonic programme. The result was that even Dr. Hansllck, the most academic and pedantic of the critics, was obllzed to write: "The public was jubilant, entranced by the bril liancy of the performance, and the pIecM. It was rjally a blessing not to ha-e to listen for once to 'profound' music only, not to be led along dreary, stony abs-sse by Ham lets. Manfreds, Ibsen and Schopenhauer."

There is not a Catholic 'in business" or in the "professions" In all these towns, big or little. But we labor oa undis mayed, traveling from one Catholic fam ily to another, teaching the catechism, visiting the sick, lecturing to non-Catholics, hearing confessions and celebrating mass when and where we can. Occa sionally we "gather in a stray sheep." and sometimes we are rewarded with a j good conversion. Usually It takes three ; weeks or a month to make the circuit of j our missions. "But." raid a dear friend to us once, "how do you reach these terrl- ble places these mountains and canyons ; how do you travel?" "Well," we replied i jocularly, "any way, except to fly." Our dear Protestant friends " are j more than kind. They take a deep mter ' est in our church work, and contribute readily to all Catholic Institutions. In i deed, it is but Just to them to state b,ere ' that the beautiful little church which we have Just built at Wasco was almost wholly the result of their liberality. It Is the first Catholic Church In Sher man County, and with the exception ot The Dalles, CO miles distant, there Is not another Catholic church within a radius of 100- miles. The church Ib 75x28 feet, has living apartments for the priest, and a fine base ment throughout eight feet In the clear. It Is finished In the natural wood hard oil and varnish and Is the pride of all Wasco. When completed and furnished it will, with the ground donation, represent a cash value close to 53000. with a total outstanding Indebtedness of about ?S0O. Were we able, through some benevolent agency, to build evert, one little church In each county, great things could be ac complished for religion. The priest would be within reasonable reach of the widely scattered little congregations, the timid and the wavering1. would be strengthened, and the poor f alien-away Catholics re ceive new hope and encouragement. .

CAPTAIN MERIWETHER LEWIS LIES BURIED IN HEART OF DISMAL OAK FOREST IN TENNESSEE The grave oC Captain Meriwether Lewis, the man whose explorations gave the Oregon Country to Uncle Sam. and whose exploits are to be fit tingly 'celebrated by tho Lewis and Clark exposition, lies almost unno ticed In the heart of a dense oak tor- est In Tennessee. Of this grave and of Captain Lewis tragic death, tho mys tery of which has not yet been cleared up, the following was prepared by John Swain for the Youth's Compan ion, after the author had. paid a per sonal visit to the grave: "In middle Tennessee, In a dense oak forest, remote from human habitation, stands a simple granite monument Months, even years, pass during which ho man visits the place. There is no lonelier place east of the Mississippi. "The solitary monument marks the grave of Meriwether Lewis. Readers of the Youth's Companion will recall how Captain Lewis made the arduous trip up the Missouri and over the mountains to Astoria, ex plored the Rocky Mountain region, and returning became the Governor of the Whole West. "In 1809 he was summoned to Wash ington to confer with the President. At that time there were no wagon roadg from the Upper Mississippi to the East. Ordinary travel went either by the lakes or by the Ohio, and over the Alleghanle3. "The only wagon road to the Lou isiana purchase was the Natchez Trace, cut through in the first years of the century from Nashville to Natchez. This was the road Lewis took, and accordingly he crossed tho Mississippi at -the Chickasaw Bluffs, where Memphis now stands, but where at that time were but an Indian en campment and an abandoned Spanish fort. "From Memphis he went east by In dian trails through the thick oak woods of Tennessee, then crimsoning with the Autumn. Following paths long worn by the feet of Choctaw and Chickasaw, he struck into the trace In Lauderdale County. Alabama. Thence he turned northeasterly, riding on the crests of gigantic ridges In a region Inhabited almost entirely by Indians. "Robert Grinder, a half breed, kept a tavern, or 'stand." about two miles from the now recently abandoned vil lage of Newburg. Tenn., near the source of Little Swan Creek. There Lewis arrived on the afternoon of Oc tober 10. 1S09. The stand was- but a rude log cabin, and In a room at one end of It Lewis, having cared for his horse, found a place to sleep on the floor, rolled in his buffalo robe. Dur ing the night a shot was heard, and the women of the stand, sleeping In a remote building, were somewhat alarmed. In the morning Lewis was found unconscious; he soon died. He had no money when he was found, and the report was spread that he had killed himself while despondent. Those who have lived within a score of miles, however, believed then that Grinder had murdered and robbed his guest, and the halfbreed's subsequent career bears out this belief. "At any rate, there was no thorough investigation. Those at Washington gained the idea that Lewis had killed him self, and allowed him to lie in his first grave. "Grinder moved away, and the tavern was abandoned and at last fell Into ruin. "It was 1S4S before the State Legislature took up the matter of honoring the ex plorer. His grave wa3 sought out, and his bones disinterred .and Identified. Then a county was carved out of the surround ing counties, having the grave for its center, and was named Lewis. "A few acres about the grave were set aside for a reservation, and over the body was erected a plain shaft of granite on a rough pyramId. "The other day, when I set out on foot to vlalt this monument for it is miles from any railway I had come within two miles of it. in fact, to the nearest house, before I found anyone who had ever vis ited It. or knew even remotely the story of th,e man It commemorated.
