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. AMERICA COULD EASILY LEAD WORLD IN CULTURE AND ART- 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 a number of favorite guest artists. "Carmen" was of necessity postponed because Ester Ferrablni could not ar rive in America In time, but will be here by Friday of the opening week. Aa an especial attraction Mr. Gallo will present the Italian dramatic tenor, Uaetano Tommaslnl, who came to this country with Mugnone, Bianca Saroya, Joseph Royer, Agnes Krae mer, all new to the San Carlo forces except Mr. Royer, who was a great favorite with a large New York fol lowing during the first season that Mr. Uallo brought his company here. Pletro de Biasl nd Natale Cervi. both of whom appeared last season In this opera, will have their original roles and Sylvia Tell will head the corps de ballet. Tuesday evening . "RIgoletto" will be sung by Mr. Royer In the titular part. Miss Lucchese as Gllda, G. Co rallo as the tenor and Miss Kraemer as Maddalena with de Biasl as Spara fucile. . Marie Rappold to Appear. Marie Rappold, the first guest art ist, will appear In her well known Impersonation of "Aida," with Nina Frascani, the Italian mezzo-soprano as Ameris, In her first appearance with the company. ' Mr. Tommaslnl will sing Radames, Gaetano Vlvlano, Mme. de Biasl and Cervi also appear ing. , Anna Fltzlu. another guest artist, will make her first appearance on Thursday of the opening week as Mlmi In "La Boheme." with Madeleine Keltle, Mme.

Maria Winetzkaja, a Russian mezzo-soprano, whose early studies were made with Mme. Niessen-Stone. will sing Suzuki, Corallo will sing Plnkerton and Graham Marr Sharp tees. , Following the four weeks' engage ment of the San Carlo Opera company will come a two weeks' season of Anna Pavlowa and her Ballet Russe, which will make a transcontinental tour under the direction of S. Hurok, beginning at the Manhattan Opera house October tl. She will bring a repertory of ten ballets, including four new productions, which brought Paris and London to worship afresh the great offerings of this superb artist. She will also have about thirty divertissements and will therefore make few repetitions in any city. The new works are "The Fauna," "Fairy Tales." "Dlonyslus" and a new Polish ballet. "The Fauns." not relat ed to the work of similar title already seen In this country, is set to musis by Sats. and had Its first production last June at the Pare des Bagatelles, I 'a rig.

From the description and lllustra- i H I W! . nvnlna. nn1 wrltln. 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.

Hundreds of boys and girls of the Mary Hemingway public sefcool In the Dorchester district have gone Into competition with Santa Ciaus In an open-air workshop here, and Christmas time will find their handiwork scattered In many gift packages. With work benches set up under fragrant fir trees in a natural park cn Lonsdale street, the youngsters whittle and saw away, making toys, furniture and unique gewgaws out of any material that comes to hand. Toy ducks, horses and pigs or tanks, soldiers, chairs, dolls, guns' and airships all are products of the ex pert hands of these young enthusi asts. Even the refuse heaps furnish material.

Approxi mately 5000 pounds of dandelion plants were gathered by Great Falls children during a campaign to free the city of the dandelion pest. The campaign was launched with S64 children participating. The chil dren were paid a halt cent a pound for all plants taken to the fire hall. The city counc'l appropriated 1100 for the expense of the campaign, but only 123.94 was expended, according to the report of Fire Chief Trodlck, who was in charge of the work. MONMOUTH, Or., Sept. 25. (Spe cial.) Dr. J. M. Powell of this 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 ing a family history, wrote to an aunt 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: "Be it known that I, Abner Peeler, of Webster City, in the county of Hamilton and state of Iowa, have In vented a new and valuable machine for writing and printing; and I do hereby declare that the following is a fuli. clear and exact description of 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."

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."
