V MASTERS OF MUSIC. jTHE GREAT COMPOSERS AND THEIR I PECULIAR METHODS OF WORK. Kccentrlo Habits, a. Ilute, Are I Linked W ilk Thi. Phase of Genlud. Haydn'a Dresa Suit and Sapphire Ring and Beethoven'a Wild Walka. All the great musical composers bad (Iheir own peculiar ideas and manner f working. They had their peculiar traits, their moods, their eccentric hab its, such as are generally said to mark the genius. In "Musical Education" H. Lavignac tells of their peculiarities. "Haydn was a very early riser," he writes, "and yet he never worked ex cept in full dress, In which he was like Buffon. He began by shaving himself carefully, powdered himself and put on his finger a certain ring, a sapphire, I believe, surrounded with brilliants, which had been given him by the great Frederick, unless it was , Prince Esterhazy. That done, he shut himself up in a quiet room and wrote for several consecutive hours, five or lx, without stopping. "Mozart, the gentle and pious Mo zart, was sometimes, less particular and composed a little everywhere and under all conditions. Happily the Ideas came often enough and pursued him even into the restaurants of Vien na, Prngue and Munich, where he was ,very fond of playing billiards and smoking a pipe and composing in his head. I "Rossini composed almost constantly and in all ways, rarely at the piano, most often in the evening or at night, and, like Mozart, often found inspira tion in a carriage or post chaise. In the irregular joltings of these vehicles he. perceived rhythm, and of these rhythms melodies were born. There Is no doubt that he would have found them In the trepidation of the railroad 'if he had dared to try, but he had such a dread of this mode of locomotion that no one was ever,able to induce him to set foot in a car. "Gluck composed violently gesticu lating, walking up and down and act ing all his characters of ten in the open air, on the lawn, in a garden. "Beethoven also undoubtedly found a powerful auxiliary to inspiration in motion and walking. Whatever the season, every day after dinner, which was at 1 o'clock, according to the Vien-. nese custom, he set oiit for a walk, (and wilh big strides twice made the circuit of the city of Vienna. Neither cold nor heat nor rain nor hail was able to stop him. Then it was that his heat of faucy attained its 'full ardor. He iWould enter a restaurant, sit down for an instant and ask the stupefied waiter for the bill, without having ordered anything. His clumsiness was pro digious. He usually, broke everything he touched. Not a single piece of fur niture ,ln his house, and any article of value less than anything else, was safe from his attacks, and many times his Ink pot fell into the piano by which he ,was working, which, religiously pre served in the museum at Bonn, still retains its indelible traces. Although he had always lived in the midst of the high Viennese aristocracy, in which drawing room dunces were held in high honor, he never succeeded in danc ing In time. "Herold composed while walking, humming or singing, often in the Champs Elysees, and often passed his best friends by without recognizing them. "Gounod composed especially at the table, or at least in his head. When he wrote, everything was absolutely clear In his brain. His manuscripts prove this. "Wagner liked to write standing up before a large table desk like the cash desks in the shops. His scores were written without erasures, in a superb calligraphic hand, admirable for its clearness and firmness and worthy of a professional copyist. "Berlioz, who played no instruments1 but the guitar, flute and flageolet, nec essarily worked at the table. "Frnnck, who was the head of a school, scarcely composed at all till after 0 o'clock In the evening. "Meyerbeer wrote in a regular man ner in the evening, and his servant had orders to drag hhu away from tho jilano at the stroke of midnight. Schu mann would not admit thnt any one could write otherwise than at a table. Mendelssohn made much use of the piano and preferred to work In the morning. Auber generally worked at iglit and very kite, till 2 or 8 o'clock n the morning, in order to avoid out side noises. ! "Ilalovy had a table plauo that had been made for him by Heyel. From time to time ho would draw out his key board, strike a few chords on it, and then push it back like a simple drawer and continue to write. "Itoleldleu also wrote at the plono. Fellclen David, not being, much of a pianist, sometimes sought the aid of his violin. Adolphe Adam almost al ways worked at his grand piano, the right hand side of whose keyboard was stained with innumerable splashes of ink. He played eight, ten or twelve bars, and then wrote them down. lUzet worked especially in the evening and still more at night; he often made uso of a pliino bureau by I'leyel, like Gou nod ami Halevy." IIU Gueaa. : "Where wero they married?" "I ain't jest sure," answered the small boy, " 'cause they left mo home, but I guess it was in the steeple." "In the steeple?" "Well, I heard 'em say it was a high church wedding." Chicago Tost There are two kinds of unhappy peo ple In the world those who are sad because they are not known and those who ure miserable because the; are known too well. OREGON Unveiled : Statue of Tecnmseh Sfcermaa. Is tbe PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IS HA VINO HARD TIMES WITH REP UBLICANS OF MARYLAND. Tht JHtgro Question Prominently Brought Forward by the President's Atitude. Amid impressive ceremonies a bronze equestrian siatue of William Tecumseh bherman was unveiled here last Thurs day. The statute stands at the head of Pennsylvania Avenue, directly south of, and facing the Treasury. It was on this spot that General Bherman watched, in 1865, the grand review of the troops who ma-ched from Atlanta to the sea. The unveiling was preceeded br a parade and a review of all the regular trcops stationed in or near Washington and of the District of Columbia National Guard. The President accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, several members of the Cabin et, and all members "of the Diplomatic corps who were in Washington, attend ed the ceremony. As the two large flags which covered the statue were drawn aside by William Tecumeeh Sherman Thomdyke, the nine year old grandson cf the Gtneral, the Fourth artillery fired a salute of seventeen guns, the Marine Band played the Star Spangled Banner and the veterans who surrounded the statue cheered. Addresses weie deliver ed by ti e President, by General David B. Henderson for the Army of the Cum berland, General Daniel K. Sickles for the Army os the Potomac, General Chas. H. Gr evener for tha Army of the Ten nessee and General Thomas J. Hender son for the Army of the Oh o. The Pre sident made an appeal tor the npbuild ing of the army and uavy, condemned dishonestv in public service and ex pressed a hope that there would soon be an appropriate statue of Lincoln at the National cap! al , Hpeaking of dishones ty in public service he said, !'We can as little afford to tolerate a dishonest man in the public service as a coward in the army. The murderer takes a single life; the corruptioniBt in public life, whether he be bribe giver or bribe taker, strikes at the heart of the commonwealth. In every public service, as in every army, there will be wrong doers, there will be misdeeds. This cannot be avoided ; but vigilant wateffmust be kept, and as soon as discovered the wrongdoing must be Btopped and the wrong doers punish- Maryland politics have virtually mo nopolized the attention of the politicians during the week. This is due in part to the efforts of President Roosevelt to bring about harmony between the re publican factions of the state and to Senator Gorman's resentment of this al leged interference of the chief Executive in state politics. The followers of Sena tor McComas and Representative Mudd have carried on long and bitter struggle and these factional differences seemed to benefit the democrats who are carry ing on an aggressive campaign, with the race question as the issue, and conscious of the fact that the out come of the election will have a marked influence upon the political fortunes of Senator Gorman, tue state's candidate for the democratic presidential nomination. In raising the negro problem to an issue, the Maryland democrats have virtually made a direct attack on President Kuosevelt, and his attituteon this question is continually mentioned aud condemned. This gives more than usual importance to theiact that the President baB made earnest appeal to the two re--publican factious to unite aud elect a republican governor and legislature, lis declares that he occupies au absolute ly neutral position between the factions and that he is interested solely in the Buecess of the parly without any reference to the persons involved. Friends of the President believe that if Maryland should go republican it would serve as an indorsement, by a state with southern sympathies, of his attitude on the negro question, and would lesson ad verse criticism on this subject the people in the north and west. Senator Gorman was very severe la his criticism of the President, sayiug, "The President has assumed to him self tbe title of chairman of state com mittee, so active is he in looking after the details of the campaign. Every federal office-holder and every occupant of a State muuiclpal place whom the Prsi ''ent believes he caD control has been ordered by him to get out and "hustle" for the Repuublicau ticket. When he was a civil service commissioner under the Harrison and Cleveland administra tions it was Roosevelt's habit to demand that a federal ollice holder who was a member of a state, city, or other politi cal committee should resign one or the other place. Now that he is president, however, be permits federal office hold ers, appointed either by liim or by his subordinates to engage as actively in a campaign as those who follow private vocations. Every occupant of a federal place in Maryland is openly at work for the Republican ticket presumably un der specific orders from the President. Prominent members of the House have assured the President that the Cuban reciprocity resolution would be passed at the extra session of Congress. Rep resentative Jones, of Washington, who was one of the strongest opponents of the Cuban reciprocity treaty in the last Congress, told the President that al though he still opposed the measue per sonally, he would vote for it when it came up in the House. The beet sugar interests have withdrawn their opposi tion to tbe treaty. The discussion will give the Democrats an opportunity to talk against the tariff and it is expect jd that tuey will take every advantage of it. Many speeches denouncing the tariff will be useful at home during the coming presidential campaign, so they will be delivered iu spite of the fact that there is no hope of stopping the passage of the resolution which will make the treaty effective. There is a report that Speaker-to-be Caunon will enlarge the House com mittee on rules in order to avoid the ne cessity of removing Representative Dal- CITY COURIER, . FRIDAY, X, Every drop of blood In the body passes through and is filtered by healthy kidneys every three minutes. Sound kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood, diseased kidneys do not, hence you are sick. FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE makes the kidneys well so they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. It removes the cause of the : many diseases resulting from disordered kidneys which have allowed your whole system to become poisoned. Rheumatism. Bad Blood. Gout. Gravel. Droosv. Inflammation of the Bladder. Diahprpc and Rrio-ht-v nic9M and many others, are all due to disordered Kidneys. A simple test for Kidney disease is to set aside your urine in a bottle or glass for twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment or a cloudy appearance, it indicates that your kidneys are diseased, and unless something is done they become more and more affected until Bright's Disease or Diabetes develops. v ' FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE Is the only preparation which will positively : cure all forms of Kidney and Bladder troubles, and cure you permanently. It is a safe remedy and certain in results. If You are a sufferer, take FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE at once. It will make, you well. . Soma Pronounced Incurable Mr. G. A. Stillson, a merchant of Tamplco, 111., writes: "FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE Is meeting with wonderful success. It has cured some cases here that physicians pronounced incurable. I myself am able to testify to Its merits. My face today is a living picture of health and FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURS has made It such." Zetland Grosvenor, who were on the last committee and who are not in the entire agreement with the new speaker on the way in which the business of the House ibould be conducted. Many we-, publican members would be glad to see these two men omitted in the forming of the new committee, but such action would cause dissension in the party ranks, bo the eauier wav would be to add two more liberal Republican who would support the speaker. This would necessitate adding another Democrat to the committee and as there are already two Democratic members, the commit tee nould be a little unwieldy. How ever, this iB one of the problems which crnlront the nw ppeakfr and :n polv in it he "should not lose eight of the fact that many Republicans favor the adoption of more liberal rules, or at least an abridgement of the powers of Dalzell and Grosvenor, who are autbocratic and dictatorial advocates of the Reed-Henderson rules.
