BY JOSEPH M. QtTENTIN.
"Well. it's over!
About 10,000 people attended the five
concerts.
Financially a success, but estimate of
receipts not ready yet.
Net results: Increased interest in m
lc, with special reference (first) to chorus
worn, (second) to symphony orchestra.
Lrtsappolntments: Two of the vocal
soloists. David B. Dugean. tenor, and
Frank A. Preisch, basso cantante. In "The
(joiaen legend : otherwise, fair.
Made Rood: The chorus, Chicago Sym
phony Orchestra, Miss Myrtle Elvyn,
pianist; Miss Aida Hemml, soprano solo
ist, and Guy Woodard. violinist-
New music heard at the festival, music
mat ought to mark an epoch: Very little.
nai roruanii needs: A music audi'
torlum capable of seating 2500 or 8000 peo.
pie, built for concerts and chorus re
hearsals. Weather: Good.
And so the second annual Portland
music f estival passes into history.
In writing this evening I have arrived
at the opinions advanced after mature
deliberation and consultation with many
other musical people with whom I have
spoken. I have attended all the concerts,
and have sung- In the five choruses as a
member of the first tenor section. This
is somewhat personal, but I wish to
explain grounds for my beliefs, and for
the remainder of this criticism will drop
the first personal pronoun. Theee views
are not those of a professional music
teacher, but they come from a disinter
ested person.
Miss Myrtle Elvyn was easily the star
or yesterday a concerts. She played only
last night, but there was such a popular
demand to hear her from the crowds that
attended, that she would have been
listened to with pleasure had she played
at both concerts. An estimate of Miss
Klvyn as a pianist will follow later in
thia report.
Flays Air From Wagner.
Yesterday afternoon we had a feast of
"Wagner from the orchestra, and also
Mr. Pretaeh. as basso cantante soloist, all
the selections being well known. Mr.
Prelsch suffered but in a slight degree
from the disadvantage of selecting a vocal
number which is usually sunt! by wcrld
famous artists, "The Evening Star." from
"Wagner's "Tannhaeuser." The air Just
suited Mr. Preiech's fervent style and con
scientious voealism, and. although he
could have sung German words, he used
Kngllsh, because he thought the audience
would so prefer. Ho earned a cordial
encore and repeated the number. Mr.
Woodard contributed two movements of a
Sindlng concerto, and he played like the
sterling, although young, artist that he is,
and for an encore gave a Bach air.
"My violin is Just a common violin." he
told me afterward. "No, it isn't a Stradi
varlus. That Stradlvarius entiraent bel
ness is all nonsense. The prices of mar.y
of these violins differ became they are so
old and have been repaired so much. No,
I on't practice a great deal." The two
orchestral numbers, as usual, pleased.
Renewed Interest was manifested by the
large audience recruited largely from the
church element In the work of the chorus
. singers, who gave a satisfactory rendition
of Alfred R. Gaul's sacred cantata. "Holy
City." No better choice of sacred music
for rendition by a chorus on a Sunday
afternoon could have been made under the
circumstances, and the audience was en
tirely In spirit with the thrilling picture
if the New Jerusalem. The text is en
tirely scriptural, with the exception of
two hymns, a verse from Milton and
three verses from the "Te Deum." Rarely
has the Vision of St. John received a
more religious, fervent setting approach
ing nearly to the emotional.
Composer of "Holy City."
Alfred Robert Gaul was born In Nor
wich, England, April 30, 1837. and at nine
years of age he was a chorister at Nor
wich Cathedral, afterward being a pupil
and assistant to Dr. Buck. His musical
compositions have a serious, melodious
heauty, but you will rarely fiid them men
tioned In the larger world of music. In
deed, during the past week many people
have aBked: "Who Is this man Gaul, any
way?" The average biography is silent
about him. Why? One can't exactly say.
Gaul composed the oratorio "Hciekiah"
for the Amateurs' Harmonic Association,
Birmingham, England, in 1S61, and a great
deal of other sacred muelc.
The four festival vocal soloists all sang
ill yesterday afternoon's recital of "Holy
City." portions of the cantata only being
given. The performance wis up to the
traditions of the offering. The "Sanctus"
motif was Interpreted by a double choir,
one division being a select choir consist
ing of Mrs. May Dearborne Schwab. Miss
Kva Wells, Mrs. Hammond. Miss
Petronella G. Connolly, Mrs. W. A. T.
Bushong, Mrs. Preston. Fred S. Pierce,
John IV Carson, Frederick T. Crowther
and Gustav Cramer. This special choir
was In one of the ante-rooms outside the
main auditorium, and the singing was
very effective. Mrs. Schwab's high so
prano voice was easily recognized.
The gem of the whole cantata is the
women's voice chorus commencing. "List
the Cherubic Host," with harp accom
paniment. Mr. Boyer gave the signal to
the orchestra, and the air swelled forth
but suddenly about two dozen people in
the audience arose from their seats and
lwgan to walk out. Mr. Boyer stopped
the orchestra and waited, and a large por.
tlon of the audience applauded his cour
age. The music had been spoiled by the
Interruption, and why the wearied ones
who wished so much to go home didn't
start from the hall at the previous inter
val only a mind reader knows. The
chorus referred to begins In the soprano
as follows:
Li r Ik eh -
Mr. Preisch and Mr. Duggan redeemed
themselves as soloists, and showed they
could sing well.
Last night came the closing concert and
the hall was a sea of eager faces. It was
"ItHly right." and nearly all the musical
selections were taken from Italian com
posers, vocal and instrumental. One of the
principal attractions, however, was the
rendition of Rossini's "Stabat Mater" by
the vocal soloists, the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra of bu pieces and the chorus of
s
Mfiffttg&ww 'sw-f-
. ft,?

:V'-s.
350 voices. "Stabat Mater" received a mag-
nincent rendering and the very air
seemed to echo back "Rossini." "Stabat
Mater" Is so well known- from having
been so often and effectively sung by
Catholic Church choirs that a detailed
criticism as to last night's rendition is
not necessary. Orchestra, soloists and
choir voices were all cordially applauded.
Miss Elvyn Wins Audience.
When Myrtle Elvyn appeared, a beau
tiful, dashing picture of palpitating
health, color, smiles and genius, a roar
of applause went up to show the pianist
that she has won Portland's heart. Miss
Elvyn's one selection was Liszt's great
concerto in E flat, and the moment she
touched the piano the Instrument awoke
to life. Miss Elvyn forgot the sea of
faces, forgot the orchestra working for
Its life, and she (played with a whirl and
fire, recognizing only the music she was
creating to" live over again. Her inter
pretation was at all times poetic and
tuned to the very highest art. There
was no music before her every note came
from the treasure house of memory, cre
ating an atmosphere all her own. Her
strength of wrist was something to make
one stare with wonder, as she wove prism
colors. It seemed that she were spin
ning one moment the daintiest, silkiest
web of fancy i and the next that the
chords were lashed to thunder.
Crash! LdgJitning flashed. Then a bird
sang somewhere near a river which ran
through a pleasant meadow. The mood
changsd again, approaching a grand cli
max, and then orchestra and Miss Elvyn
stopped together. She arose from the
piano, looking pale, as if she had been
in a magic land. Silence. Then the peo
ple awoke to the sure knowledge that
they had been listening to one of the
greatest native American pianists, an ar
tist to her finger tips. As she bowed
in reply she caressed the piano as if she
loved it. Her encore, as she afterward
told me, was a "Nocturne" for the left
hand, by Scriabine, a talented Russian
composer. It was wonderfully well
played.
Before Miss Elvyn left the hall she
sent this note of thanks to the chorus:
My dear Mr. Goodrich. Mr. Boyer and the
members of the Choral Society:
Allow me to thank you most heartily for
the beautiful flowers and at the same time
tell you how much I enjoyed your magnifi
cent work.
Assuring you of my appreciation of your
Kindness, I remain, very sincerely yours.
The only adverse criticism the writer
has as to the quality of music offered at
the entire festival, is to express the re
gret that very little of the present "new"
school of music was either played or sung,
and that Mr. Preisch, Mr. Duggan and
Mlse Harriet Frahm were not successful
as soloists at last Saturday night's con
cert. Miss Frahm's voice was not power
ful enough to fill the hall, although -Its
quality is good. But Mr. Duggan and
Mr. Preisch are offenders, very clearly.
They could not sing the solos allotted to
them In "The Golden Legend," and could
not read the difficult score. Mr. Beach,
the manager of the Chicago Symphony Or
chestra, says:
Time to Learn Scores.
"Mr. Preisch and Mr. Duggan had
plenty of time to learn the score, for they
were engaged to sing it and others, and
knew about them in advance." A friend
of Mr. Duggan says that the latter had
ten days in which to learn the score, and
another expert says that the score could
be learned in two days' time, if one were
an ordinary reader of music at sight.
Thanks to Mr. Boyer, as conductor, Sat
urday night's performance didn't break
down, for he often sang the bass and
tenor leads and bits of the eolos when
Mr. Preisch and Mr. Duggan were not
ready. Mr. Boyer was easily the tenor
bass soloist of the evening, and he is
therefore entitled to a good measure of
credit. Mr. Duggan says in defense:
"1 am sorry I made the mistakes. We
all make mistakes, now and then. I
only sang the score once before this." Mr.
Preisch was offered an opportunity to
make his explanation of the affair, but
did not take advantage of it. Many mem
bers of the chorus said last Saturday
night: "Roast the tenor and bass solo
ists," but the present writer has not done
this in doing his duty. Next time you
come here. Manager Beach, please pick
your soloists.
Adolph Rosenbecker, conductor of the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra, said that
he hated to pack up and leave Portland.
"I consider," he went on, sinking into a
chair as the audience went out, "that at
the present time Portland is the most
musical city on the Pacific Coast. I have
been in all of the large cities, and I
know. Last Friday, when we arrived
here, tired and weary with our journey
from California we left Oakland at 4:30
P. M. last Thursday when my men. and I
looked into the faces of the big audi
ence that greeted us, inspiration came.
And it has been the same throughout the
remaining concerts, nothing but enthu
siasm. But, mark you. Intelligent criti

cism as well, that kind which demands
the very best.
"The Portland Festival chorus is 100 per
cent better in singing and attack, than
last year, that means It's a new chorus.
The soprano section is the best, and you
people are lucky to get such a fine
soprano as Mrs. Rose Bloeh Bauer to sing
In the chorus and lead that soprano sec
tion. The vocal choral works sung, of
course, do not belong to the newest and
most modern school of music. The festi
val management should rehearse for, say.
Sir Edward Elgar's 'Banner of St. George"
for the next year's festival.- Get some
thing new, like this. Elgar leads and is
the most modern of English composers,
and his orchestration la the very best.
Yes, get something new.
"A short time ago, I heard, in Chi
cago, the Mendelssohn choir of mixed
voices from Toronto, Canada. That choir
Is as near perfection as human voices
can hope to reach. In this world. In Port
land, you singers ought to emulate the
Mendelssohn choir."
The hero of the festival is William H.
Boyer, and he is not only a born con
ductor but he is among the most able
of American choral and orchestral con
ductors. Late last night, the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, and soloists, went to Seattle,
and will reach Chicago en tour, the last
of this month.
In the meantime, we are . back to work
again.
BRISTOL HARSH CRITIC
SAYS PEOPLE MUST BEWARE OR
LOSE THEIR RIGHTS.
Tells of What Government Is and
Points Oat What It Should Be.
Present Conditions Arraigned.
Corrupt politics, trusts and discrir
matory tariff revision, together with,
the influence these interests exercise
in legislation, were arraigned vigor
ously in an address by W. C. Bristol,
ex-United States Attorney, before the
People's Forum In the Selling-Hirsch
building last night. Responsibility for
the conditions complained of, said Mr.
Bristol, rests with the people them
selves and is the product of their diffi
dence, resulting from the mistaken
idea that they are no longer the Gov
ernment itself.
The subject of Mr. Bristol's address
was: "Government as It Is and as It
Should Be." The speaker did not mince
matters and made some decidedly point
ed assertions. characteristic of the
man. He started out by saying that
the public conscience has become so
thoroughly stultified under modern
conditions that it is regarded perfectly
proper to steal so long as one is not
caught in the act. Mr. Bristol main
tained that the principal trouble is that
the country has too much government.
He criticised the system of legislation
by which it is possible for one selfish
class or interest to have enacted by
a Legislature measures which make for
their own individual prosperity with
out serving the interests of society as
a whole.
In this connection and by way of
illustrating more particularly the ends
to which present day legislative bodies
go in the enactment of laws, he cen
sured the recent Oregon Legislature for
giving its time to the consideration of
measures involving a nine-foot sheet
and ten-inch hatpins, which, he said,
hsd held the state up to the derision
of the entire country.
"The trouble is that we have too
much government already," charged the
speaker. "During the last term of
President Roosevelt the number of bu
reaus connected with the National ad
ministration was increased from nine
to 34. What is the result? There are
now 18,000 Federal employes in the
immediate jurisdiction of Portland
alone under this system, and yet you
people sit quietly by and enter not a
word of protest.
You yourselves are directly respon
sible for the existing condition of af
fairs in both state and National Gov
ernments. In the first place you do not
take the initiative, neither do you sup
port officers who strive to enforce the
law. We are moral cowards because we .
attempt to shoulder our individual re
sponsibility as citizens having rights of
our own on others. In doing so we are
committing a moral wrong against the)
body politic.
After calling attention , to the fact
that the tendency was towards more
law, more bureaucracies and more leg
islation, with the result that conditions
were being further complicated instead
of improved, Mr. Bristol concluded by
saying the remedy rests with the peo
ple. He advised that the people return
to the basic principle of ideal govern
ment: that government is best which
governs the least, and that all law is
for the good of the public V'
DURING CONCERT IN SECOND ANNUAL
SEARCH IS MADE
FOR CANDIDATES
if
Councilmen Are Ousted,
Others Must Be Found to
Take Their Places.,
RECALL BEING CONSIDERED
Special Election Will Be Asked When
Representative Men Are Found to
Take . Positions Now Held by
Seven Alleged Undesirables.
Advocates of the proposed recall of
seven members of the City Council will
hold another meeting today further to
consider desirable men who will agree
to become candidates for Councilmen to
succeed the men sought to be retired.
H. D. Wagnon, one of those who has
taken the initiative in this movement,
yesterday said no attempt would be made
to circulate the recall petitions until rep
resentative men could be found who
would agree to accept election to mem
bership in the Council. The recall work
ers profess to be in earnest, and declare
they will lose no time to bring out oppo
sition candidates and complete all pre
liminary details necessary to ' a recall
election. '
It will not be until further conferences
can be held that it will be determined
whether to invoke the recall against the
seven so-called objectionable Councilmen
simultaneously or to seek to retire the
seven members in more than one election.
Another problem to be decided is the
date for holding the proposed recall elec
tion. Some think It would be a mistake
to hold the recall election in connection
with the general city election, and favor
holding a special election when the one
issue could be presented.
As nearly as it can be estimated, in the
absence of an abstract of the official
vote for Supreme Judge last June, it
will require between 5000 and 5300 signa
tures to a petition to invoke the recall
against a Councllman-at-large. At the
last general election there were cast in
the 89 city precincts approximately 21,000
votes for Supreme Judge. Under the re
call amendment to the state's constitu
tion a recall petition must be signed by
25 per cent of that number of voters. To
recall a ward Councilman the petition
must have the signatures of 25 per cent
of the total vote cast for Supreme Judge
In that ward at the last general election.
'How Recall May Be Invoked.
The recall amendment to the constitu
tion was adopted by the voters of the
state at the general election last June.
It provides the following method of pro
cedure: Every public officer In Oregon is subject,
as herein provided, to recall by the legal
voters of the state or of the electoral dia
triot from which he is elected. There may
be required 25 per cent, but not more, of
the number of electors who voted, in his
district at the preceding election for Justice
of the Supfome Court to file their petition
demanding- his reca.ll by the people. They
shall set forth In said petition the reasons
for said demand. If he shall offer .his res
ignation, it shall be accepted and take effect
on the day it is offered, and the vacancy
shall be filled as may be provided by law. I
Bad blood Is responsible for most of our ailments, and when from any
cause it becomes infected with, impurities, humors or poisons, trouble in some
form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc.,
Ehow that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed
It from a pure, fresh stream to, a sour, acrid " fluid, which forces out it
Impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evi
dence ot bad blood is sores and ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often
trom a very insignificant bruise, or ' even scratch or abrasion. If the blood
was healthy the place would heal. at once; but being infected with impurities
which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflammation are set
up, the fibres and - tissues are broken, and the sore continues until the
blood is purified of the cause. S. S. S. is Nature's blood-purifier and tonic,
made entirely from roots, herbs and barks. It goes down into the circula
tion and removes every particle of Impurity, humor or poison, restores lost
vitality, and steadily tones up the entire system. S. S. S. neutralizes any
excess of acid in the blood, making it pure, fresh and healthy, and perma

With the certainty . that no disease has
been manifested that could be directly
traceable to the four days during which
Willamette River water was in the city
water mains, Portland Is believed by
many physicians to have had a very for
tunate escape. Dr. Esther C. Pohl, City
Health Officer, ascribes this Immunity to
the absence of typhoid fever In towns
which empty their sewage into the Upper
Willamette and said that at the time
river water was pumped into the mains,
the extraordinary freedom of the state
generally from the dread disease directly
accounted Jot the city being free from an
epidemic.
Repairs are said to be progressing very
slowly on the damaged main at the O.

that practically no portion of the main re

Consult Me First
Even though your case may be one that
some other doctor is able to cure, and though
his cure be absolutely thorough and perma
nent, there Is yet good cause for your coming
to me for treatment. The service I render i3
entirely unlike and better than the ordinary.
I have devised new and scientific methods of
treating men's diseases in all their phases. I
cure cases that others cannot cure, and cases
that others can cure in less time and with
out pain or possibility of injury. All my
forms of treatment have been perfected along
exact harmony with the natural recuperative
forces. Therefore, my cures are painless,
prompt and thorough.
I Will Wait for My Fee Until I Cure You'
CONTRACTED DISORDERS
The serious results that may follow neg
lect of diseases could scarcely- be exaggerat
ed. Safety demands an absolutely thorough
cure in the least possible time. I have treat
ed more cases of these disorders than any
other physician upon the Pacific Coast. My
cures are thorough and are accomplished in
less time than other forms of treatment re
quire in producing even doubtful results. I
employ remedies of my own devising, and
my treatment1 is equally effective in both
recent and chronic cases.
I -TREAT MEN ONLY
The vast multitude of men who have taken
my treatment have not been disappointed.
They know.that I do not promise more than
I perform. To them I have actually illus
trated in the cure of their own cases the
truth of what I claim, namely, that my treat
ment Is as certain to cure as it is that my
patient engages my services and follows my
directions. My success is due not alone to
education, experience, skill and scientific
equipment, but to the fact that I limit my
study and practice strictly to diseases and
weaknesses of men. To male maladies alone
I have earnestly and exclusively devoted 25
years of my life, and on them all my facul
ties are concentrated.
EXAMINATION FREE
I offer not only FREE consultation and advice, but of every case
that comes to me I will make a careful examination and diagnosis with
out charge. No ailing man should neglect this opportunity and get ex

WEAKNESS"
If other physicians
have treated you for so
called "weakness," you
were helped only t e m

isn't a weakness at all,
but merely a symptom
of chronic inflammation
in the prostate gland.
