SIX NOTED artists will appear thla
season as soloists with the Port
land symphony orchestra. They
are Arthur Hackett. tenor; Harold
I.auer, pianist; Sophie Praslau, con
tralto; Yolanda Mero, pianist; Helen
Stanley, soprano, and Vasa Prihoda,
violinist. All have appeared with or
chestras In other cities with marked
success and are expected to repeat
their triumphs here. They are recog
nized artists of the first rank.
This la the first season that tlie
Portland aymphony orchestra will
have a soloist for every conrert. Wide
Interest Is be I nit taken In the orchea
tra this year. Judging from the num
ber of applications for season tickets.
Carl Denton will be the conductor.
Arthur Hackett's rise aa a singer
has been noteworthy. "His record I
one of achievements, both In the re
cital field and as an orchestral solo
Int," wrote one critic. He has sung
with the Boston symphony orchestra,
alone, IS times. Press comments on
Mr. Hackett's art have centered on the
Ingratiating quality of his tone and
the flawless enunciation of hla dic
tion. Harold Bauer Is a Portland favorite.
Just as he Is wherever he haa appeared
all over the world. His mastery has
been recognized in every European
music center and his repeated tours
In America have made him famous
from coast to coast. "Harold Bauer
Is one of the greatest planiata now
before the public; his art is charac
terized by varied touch and keenly
artistic phrasing," wrote Henry T.
Flnck In the New York Evening Post.
Sophie Braslau haa won wide praise
and appreciation from both the critics
and the public for so young an artist.
She has appeared with the Metropoli
tan Opera company and has also
achieved marked success as soloist
with such orchestras as the New
York, Boston, Chicago and St. Louis
symphony orchestras.
Personality combined with artistic
feeling and a remarkably fine voice
Is said to have carried Helen Stanley
to her present enviable position
among the great prima donna so
pranos of the country. "Helen Stan
ley is equally effective on the recital
platform and in opera," wrote one
critic. "Her voice is a fine one, rich
In timbre and of soft, mellow quality."
Distinctive among Internationally
celebrated pianists, Yolanda Mero re
turns to the concert platform this sea
son after a long and brilliant series of
recitals in South America. Her career
in the United States has demonstrated
that in breadth of style and command
of pianistic resources she stands
unique among women pianists. She
has appeared with the most celebrated
of symphony orchestras in this coun
try. Vasa Prihoda Is a young Czecho
Slovaklan violinist who has been pro
nounced a genius. "It is an age of
violinists and Prihoda may unhesi
tatingly be accorded a seat among
the mighty, and a front seat at that,"
said one critic.

Emilie Frances Bauer Saya We Are Too Prone to Ape Things Foreign;
San Carlo Opera Company to Open at Hew York.
BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. (Special.)
The days of the "returning"
are at hand and many there are
who feel free to say that their vaca
tion would have been more profitably
pent at home. Europe has learned
to boost the pricea In order to offset
the difference In exchange, and few
found any accommodations at what
might be called reasonable prices.
The question of foreign study is more
tmnnftnnf than that n f viffltlnni B till
It has been the experience of some
who went abroad with old-time il
lusions about art atmosphere, the
leneflt of European atudy and the
advantage of foreign prestige that
these theories, not unlike the bomb
with which Europe became so pit
iably familiar, are all exploded.
European culture, like manners and
culture the world over has suffered
a deadly blow end probably before
poise shall have been recovered an
ither and equally destructive war will
be upon us. It behooves us as never
before to build our own culture and
art, and to force recognition inatead
of sneers, intensive building Instead
of creating art conditions abroad for
the benefit of foreign countries and
for the detriment of our own.
America Belittles Self.
It la rumored that a fund created
Tv an artistic organization of New
York City is to be donated for the
upkeep of the tfalzitburg festival,
which might be endurable with con
ditions normal, but under the present
storm and stress It Is Incredible that
Cfulxottc ideas of this sort should be
allowed to flourish. America could
so easily be the center of the world
In culture, art and influence It our
own people would only drop that
servility toward any and everything
not "made In America." In spite of
all the lessons we have had during
the past seven years. Americans have
not yet learned their potentialities In
the world of art, and the most patri
otic In certain ways allow themselves
to be dominated by those whose mis
sions In this country seem to be to
keep us out of our own, to teach us
to sneer at and belittle our own, on
general principles with no clearly de
fined knowledge of what we have or
of what we need.
The only musical need that we have
Europe will not give m It Is a rec
ognition and appreciation of our
cwn. Europe has nothing In con
ductors, soloists or composers great
er than it has already given us. most
of them are still with us. are return
ing or are coming. We owe a tre
mendous debt of gratitude for what
it has taught us. and we, having the
l.ablt of enlarging upon things, have
made these visitors who came bear
jug fruit of knowledge even more Im
portant than they were when they
i,rrlved. For all we havs received we
are duly grateful, but let us not
strangle our own In the moment of
birth for th purpose of building the
more secure footing for everything
foreign,
With "Forxa del destlno'' (Verdi)
Instead of the promised "Carmen,"
Fortune Gallo will open the doors
of the Manhattan Opera house with
the San Carlo company augmented by

macnine it must nave Dorne nine re
semblance to the typewriter of today.
There are nine diagrams Illustrating
the various parts of the machine. It
Is operated by means of chords and
pulleys which control the position of
a steel type plate on which the char
acters are engraved, and also operates
a hinged block connected with a lever
and pin which presses the type plate
against the paper. The characters
of which there are SI. including capi
tal and small letters, figures, punctu
ation marks and "th." "of." "to," "In."
"fl," "11" and "Is" are represented on
a table in exactly the same arrange
ment as they appear on the type piste.
The inventor describes the operation
of the machine as follows:
"I place the type plate cn its bed
and the paper to be printed on' Its
holder, with transfer paper above the
sheet to be printed. I then place a
finger in the thimble and bring the
same down to the letter or character
I desire to print. The devices hereto
fore described, connected with the
chord to which the thimble is at
tached, bring the desired letter on the
type plate to the desired place im
mediately under the pin on the lever.
At the same time the chord attached
to the hinged block presses said block
down upon the screw upon the end of
said lever and thereby presses the pin
firmly upon the character on the type
plate which I desire to print and
which Is always the same as I am
pointing at on the tale by my move
ment of the thimble. By these means
the character desired Is transferred to
the paper. Every movement of the
thimble downward upon a letter on
the table raises the hinged block and
thereby moves the ratchet and pawl
and the paper sidewise the distance
occupied by one character on the type
plate."
The paper-holder was operated by
a sliding beam and was supplied with
a device for spacing between lines.
The method of spacing between words
was as follows: "In making spaces
between words I sometimes move the
sliding beam by the hand, placing a
finger on the end thereof for that
purpose; but I usually prefer to ac
complish that result by dropping the
thimble toward the table over a capi
tal letter, but I do not in that case
force the same down sufficiently hard
o produce an impression on the
paper."
There Is no intimation as to what
speed could be attained, but it would
probably not cause any envy among
stenographers at the present time.
Abner Peeler, the Inventor, was born
in Illinois January 31. 1836. His
father was a Christian minister and a
man who was ahead of his time In
many ways. Abner showed unusual
mechanical ability when quite small
and in later years became well known
for his Inventive genius. The inven
tion of the typewriter was accom
plished before the civil war. Peeler
seVved in the war and as soon as it
was over journeyed to Washington
and obtained the patent. Later he
sold his rights for S1000.
He Joined the Christian church at
the age of 15. He died in Lehigh. Ia.,
November 2, J 895. The following no
tice was clipped from an Iowa paper:
"He possessed great Inventive genius,
pronounced the greatest of this s'ate.
He' invented the modern typewriter,
making the first seven with his own
hands. While others have made Im
mense fortunes from his inventions
the typewriter, air brush and others
he did not get the rewards he de
served. In other words, he succeeded
in blessing the world more than In
getting a large share of its goods. He
was a true benefactor of his race.
The funeral was largely attended, the
Knights of Labor marching in the pro
cession." Mrs. L. Jane Powell, a sister of the
Inventor, lives in Monmouth. She is
SI years old.

MONMOUTH, Or., Sept. 25. (Spe

city has just received a copy of the
patent papers of the first typewriter.
Invented by his uncle, Abner Peeler,
rhortly before the civil war. A short
time ago tr. Powell, who Is compil

In Nebraska for information concern
ing the inventor and received the pat
ent papers, which she had obtained
from the United States patent office
less than a year ago.
The document bears the date Au
gust 14, 1866, and contains the pat
ent number 57,182. On the heading it
Is called a "machine for writing and
printing." It begins:
"To all whom it may concern:

QUANTRILL LETTER KEPT
Famous Guerilla's Own Signature
Disproves Cyclopedias Spelling.
When practically all the better
known encyclopedias misspell the
name of one of the most widely
known, although notorious, men of
the Civil war period it is cause for
wonder. Especially is this true when
It Is noted that there are letters still
remaining. In the original and legible
handwriting of this man, bearing his
name signed in full.
Ask almost any newspaper or mag
azine editor how to spell the name
of the most widely known Confed
erate .guerilla of the Civil war, who
operated In Kansas, Missouri and
Kentucky, and the chances are he will
give you this combination of letters:
"Q-u-a-n-t-r-e-1-1."
If you tell the editor he Is wrong
he will refer you to the encyclopedia.
Turning to the proper place either
tinder Lawrence. Kan, which town he
and his band burned in 1863 you
still will find the spelling to be
"Q-u-a-n-t-r-e-1-1." This is true of
the Encyclopedia Americana, 191$;
the Encyclopedia Britannlca, eleventh
edition; the New International en
cyclopedia, 1915; Nelson's encyclo
pedia; Learned's History for Ready
Reference and Topical Reading, and
no doubt many others. Even the his
torical markers about Lawrence, all
use the "e" spelling.
However, in the works of William
Elsey Connelley, secretary of the
Kansas State Historical society, the
reader will find the name spelled
"Quantrill." And this Is the correct

spelling. In his "Quantrill snd the
Border War," Connelley reprints sev
eral letters written by the guerilla
leader, the originals of which Con
nelley collected, and all of which were
signed with the "I" clearly showing.
If the reader should want further
proof of the spelling of this name
let him go to the library of the Uni
versity of Kansas, Lawrence, where
reposes in the vault an original letter
written by the guerilla to his mother
August 23, 1857. This letter recently
was presented to the university by
William H. Murray of Decatur. HI., a
collector of historical data, who ob-
talned It from Mr. Connelley. It Is
signed by "W. C. Quantrill."
Just why the misspelling of the
name Quantrill became so general is
not certain, but probably It Is due
to long standing mispronunciation,
the usual way of saying the last
syllable being "trell" rather than
"trill."
