Fairy Storr Told Iy Sarafe Bernhardt. Ooeorlco, a, Parisian artlstlo paper, has a fairy tale from the pen of Sarah Bern, hardt, of which the following la a trans lation: The fairies were all fathered round a baby's cot; the father and mother, won dering, respectful, listened to the Invo cations of each. -"Child, thou shalt be beautiful, tall and graceful." "Thou shalt be crowned with a crown of gold." "A hero shalt thou become; crowds shall acclaim thee, and thy admirers shall drag thy chariot In the fervor of delirious enthusiasm. At thy word shall all peoples rejoice or be downcast; shall quake with fear or tremble with joy." "Poets shall cast thler pearls at thy feet; musicians shall give up their art to the singing ofthy praises." "A hundred heroines shall love thee." "Poison and dagger shall alike bo Im potent Xo hurt thee." "Thy fame shall re-echo from the moun tain top and sound In the deepest depths of oceans. ' The mother fell upon her knees end did homage to the assembled fairies. Then was the door burst rudely open, and the spirit of the glories of eternity entered. She spake: "I cannot take back the gifts of my sisters, but for thy sin in forgetting me shalt thou be punished. Hark to ny Im precation: His golden crown shall be made of common card. He shall laugh or be downcast; he shall love but ever at the bidding of others. Those who ac claim him shall sternly refuse him the respect due the merely respectable. The people whose Idol he has been shall hurl him down, from his pedestal In the mo ment of his glory, and shall drag him, still quivering with the delight J ap plause, through the city at the heel of the chariot of a new hero. The laurels shall fade upon his forehead Into Im mortelles, and he shall die In misery and In Ignominy, forgotten and unwept, leav ing behind him neither trace nor mem ory " Terrified, the father cried aloud: "What shall he be7" "He shall be an actor." Then, softly, the spirit of death came forward and said: "I, child, will avenge thee. By death the new-born artist shall be burled In oblivion." Los Angeles Herald." Salaries of Stasre-Follc Bays a writer on stage matters: "Sal aries of players vary with circumstances. The manager may find at JJ5 a week a player whose moderate talent exactly fits a part of considerable Importance. He may have to pay $150 If the role Is singu lar and fit candidates scarce. If he wants celebrity In addition to ability he may be willing to make the salary $a00 a week. In that case he takes in account the public value of the name and makes a feture of It In his advertisements. "Not more than 10 actors In America, aside from the stars, receive as nu:a is $250 a week, and not more than five ac tresses are paid that amount. In fact, J150 a week Is exceptional, and $100 will engage an excellent hero or heroine, a fine comedian or a delineator if ecce.irlc character. "The wages run down to 575 for a cou brette, lngenu, or old man, to 550 for an old woman. Juvenile man or Juvenile woman, and so along to utility and chor us men at 512 and 518 per week. "Managers are ever on the alert to find some one of whom a star can be made. When one Is chosen for that purpose contract Is made with him for a term of years, usually five. The actor rx elves the salary he has been accustomed to and also a share of the profits, increasing from as little as 10 per cent the first year to as much as 60 the last. "In the recent Instance of two young actresses taken up for -exploitation as stars, the manager of each assumed all the responsibilities and agreed to pay the same salary which had been received, besides a share of the profits. Good luck In the form of successful plays attended the ventures, and each actress had an lucerne of 51000 and 51S00 week after week during the first season. "But many a starring actor gets no more Income than he would as a silarlcd plaer, and the venture may yield him nothinc either in money or celebrity." Chicago Tribune. Music I heard a master once; and afterward. While yet beneath the maglo of his spell, I sought to put ray rapture Into words: Music Is the expression of the souL The language of the angels; and in us It touches all the mystic chords of life. It vibrates through and through us, until we Become embodied with the sounds we hear. It Bweeps across the soul In fitful gusts And seeks out every lonxlnr. every Daln. It reaches from our highest spirit heights Down to our lowest depths. It shows to us Tho beauty and the terror end the hope. The very mjstery of life itself. It doth reveal to us we are divine. J. A. Edgerton. SYMPHONY SEASON HERE Openlns Concert la December A Generous Offer. DR. ROLAND D. GRANT. Preparing a JfeiT Illustrated Lecture on Yellowstone Parle Dr. Roland D. Grant's lecture "Wednes day evening proved a surprise in its ex cellence, even to the Mazamas, who ex pected a great deal. It showed long and continued study and research among the sciences, keen observation and a vast amount of field work. His views were thrown upon the screen in quick succes sion, and every one was a gem. For 1 hours the doctor eloquently described the workings of nature in fine detail, mixing eclenoS with papular knowledge, entranc ing a large and Intelligent audience and carrying his hearers through the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, the Mountains of the Moon and the mountains and caves of the Pacific Northwest. He was suffering with tonsllltis, and remained, ajcthe Hotel Portland until Friday' night tinder the treatment of a physician. During his stay In the city many friends called upon him, and offi cers of the Mazamas requested that he lecture for the club In the near future on the Tellowstone Park, for which he has a fine and very large collection of views. There have recently been many radical changes In the scenic features of the park, with which Dr. Grant Is thoroughly familiar, as he makes annual pilgrimages to that wonderful region for observation and study. He Is under engagement to deliver 50 lectures through Now England and the South, and -while gone will have extensive additions and Improvements made to his already fine Tellowstone pic tures and lecture. On his return he will again appear before Ihe Maramas in this city and present his new lecture for the first time. ADDITIONAL CHURCH NOTICES Otocelred too lata for cludficfctlon.)

Thousands whom It has cured vouch for Che value of Hood's Earsaparilla as a cure for catarrh. The Portland Symphony Orchestra Is not dead, but alive and thriving. For a white the outlook as to Its survival was a little dubious, owing to the fact that many of last year's patrons had left Portland. Generous friends, however, came to the rescue, and Increased their subscriptions sufficiently to make up the deficit, so that the continuance of the concerts Is now assured. The list is still open, and subscriptions may be left at the Ainsworth Bank or at 216 Chamber of Commerce building with William D. Wheelwright, whose untiring zeal in the cause of good music has made another symphony season possible. In about two weeks toward the middle of December the first concert of the Winter will be given. Rehearsals have already begun, and enthusiasm runs high as of old. The membership has grown considerably, for there are now 28 musicians In place of 80. There will be no loss of the Individual talent that was so distinguishing a fea ture of the success last year. Rehearsals will be more frequent, and this, with in creased confidence in the leader and them selves, a closer bond of co-operation, more perfect unanimity of attack and phras ing, will ensure a marked Improvement in the work of the orchestra, and con sequently a season of sincere and hearty enjoyment on the part of the public. A great effort will be made to have the programmes popular, appealing to the tastes of the great body of music-lovers. In order to accomplish this, highly in teresting novelties will be introduced, such as new or unfamiliar compositions of Grieg, Massenet and others, the ballet music irom "Faust," which is very beau tiful, and has not yet been heard In Portland, the grand march from "Aida," also new, and the pllogue to "Mephls tophele" (Moito), which haa recently cre ated such a furore of enthusiasm when given by the Italian band under Minolitl. It has been decided, no doubt wisely, not to lay too much stresa upon the symphony as a special feature, and this for two reasons; because the orchestra itself Is hardly yet able to grapple with refinement of emotional expression, the extraordinary subtleties, the dynamics of passion and power encountered in this most complex and difficult of all musical forms; also because the public has hard ly yet reached the stage of enthusiastic appreciation which such earnest work demands. For this reason only one move ment from a symphony will be given In each programme. In order to encourage the organization of an Oratorio Society in Portland, which is ardently desired by certain Influential members of the orchestra, the offer is herewith generously made to devote one concert this season to oratorio work, should a suitable chorus be formed, the orchestra giving its services free in the way of accompaniment. This is a very liberal offer and should be embraced. Today In Portland we are confronted with a very odd state of affairs musically, a reversal of what Is found In other cities. For the oratorio is usually a well-established factor In the musical life of a community long before chamber music or the symphony (the most advanced form of art) can find a foothold. Yet here more substantial encouragement Is being given orchestral music than ever has been given choral work. No doubt this is due. In a measure, to local peculiari ties, such as exist In every city, whlcJT here tend to magnify the cohesiveness personal self-effacement one Is tempted to say which everywhere is more charac teristic of an association of orchestral players than of singers. OPERA IN SAN FRANCISCO. Gran Company Sings to Small but Enthusiastic Audiences. THE FLYING DUTCHMAN. Senta '. Mme. Gadskl Mary ....Miss Olitzka Erik Mr. Dipple Daland Mr. Blass Steuermann Mr. Bars Der Hollander Mr. David Blspham Conductor, Mr. Walter Damrosch. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17. (Special correspondence.) From the first note of the orchestra until the end of this melo dious drama of Wagner, there was an enthusiasm in the audience that up to this time had not been felt at any of the operas given In the present season. It would have been worth while to go Just to hear the orchestra, for never has there been one like It in San Francisco, and the controlling power of Damrosch Is simply marvelous. Never once does this big body drown out a singer; it Is al ways the accompaniment, never the solo; and what Damrosch carries out at the piano In his lectures, this orchestra Illus trates In the operas. It work was su perb, and Mr. Damrosch had to appear on the stage after the second act to bow his acknowledgments. In fact, he has to do this at every opera he conducts. Blspham. as the Flying Dutchman, gave us a picture of the homeless, heartsick wanderer that will linger long In the memory of every one present. Never be fore was his voice so full of deep melan choly and passion, and never was It so round, full and melodious. His make-up would rather tend to scare than call forth sympathy, but the human passion ex pressed In that sonorous voice would have moved the hardest heart to pity and compassion. He certainly carried his audience by storm and gave a noble, dig nified, exalted characterization of Wag ner's hero, so human, so true to life, in every detail. It is such singers as Blsp ham (who do not stoop to petty tricks to catch their audience) that we need in greater abundance to elevate and raise the standard of the stage. After the sec ond act he was recalled six times, and even then the audience very reluctantly let him go. Madame Gadskl, as Senta, fell short of her work in "Tannhauser," owing, I think, to the role being somewhat high for her, her voice after the first part of the second act giving one the Impres sion of being tired, for she had to use every bit of physical strength she nos. sessed to carry It through. Her best work was In the "Dutchman's Theme," Just before the hero appears In the doorway under his portrait, and her dramatlo scream and the ensuing pause were quite thrilling. Special praise must be accord ed Mr. Blass for his excellent dramatic singing and acting of Daland, his comedy work when he introduced the Dutchman and Senta being especially good. Mr. Dipple, the Erik of the opera, possesses a good deal of temperament and fire and a sympathetic lyric, rather than dra matic, tenor voice. The same elaborate ness of detail in scenery and costumlxur was again present, dazzling the eye with magnificence and splendor and leaving nothing to be wished for In this respect. Miss Olltzka and Mr. Bars did well in their respective roles. But I fear San Francisco will not have another season of grand opera, as the houses are anything but full. Be that as it may, the enthusiasm makes up for any lack In that respect. LOHENGRIN. Els too Brabant Hme. Nordic Grtrud Mino. Schumann-Heine Lohengrin Mr. Van Dyck FWederlca von Telram una...... David Blspham Der Heeriofer dea Koenlgs Mr. Muhlmana Heinrlch der Vogler, Deutscher Koenlg.... ....................... ...Mr. Ed de Reszko Conductor. Mr. Walter Damrosch. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 19. (Special correspondence.) Tho first full house of the season came out to hear this cast, and everybody went away happy. With all but one exception, the stars did honor to themselves and were recalled time and time again. Let us put that one excep tion to the score of Indisposition, for It was so bad that nothing else could ex cuse It. Mr. Van Dyck certainly must have been ill, for as Lohengrin he was awful. His voice was off the pitch most of the evening, and his tones were raw and ugly, even strident. After his Tann hauser of Tuesday It was almost impossi ble to believe him the- same singer; let us hope that by this time he has re deemed himself. This was Mme. Helnck's Introduction to a San Francisco audience, and with her opening note she had everything her own way. Such singing of Ortrud, such dramatic fire, such passion, such hate and deviltry, and yet such reserve force has never before been given the role, and, in stead of hating Ortud one had compas sion wth her in her downfall. Mme. Helnck's voice Is a voice full of warmth, and depth, reminding one cf velvet In its smoothness and softness. It Is a big, ringing, powerful voice, which the owner has at perfect command, going from the loudest "ft" to the softest "pp" In a moment. She held the audience spell bound in the duet with Frederick, and her dramatic power came out at its best In this scene. The similarity between her voice and Nordica's was very marked In the upper register, one having to watch closely In their duo to see when the one had stopped and the other started, for they were as alike as two peas. Nordica as Elsa was as tender and womanly as could be wished, especially in the bridal scene, where she attempts to worm the secret from Lohengrin. How charmingly she petted and carressed him, yet how angry she grew when he tried to ward off her questions. The voice Is a clear, high soprano, very free, and well modulated, not large but of splendid carrying powers. She has a stately fig ure and makes an Imposing Elsa. Blspham was Telramund, and fully shared all honors. Ed de Reszke's big bass voice called forth many plaudits, and Mr. Muhlmann did himself great credit as the herald. And such scenic effects! They presented one superb picture after the other and created no end of en thusiasm. Walter Damrosh was given an ovation, and well he deserved it. Such en thusiasm abounded that the drama closed at 12:15 A. M., and even then the au dience was loth to go. Let us hope that the last two weeks will be given to packed houses, so that we may soon again hove an opera com pany of such magnitude on the Pacific Coast OTTILIE SCHUCKING. New Director of Arlon Society. The Arion Society, which has been somewhat later than usual In beginning its work for the Winter, has at last se cured the services of a director whom, it Is expected, will prove highly popular and successful. Gustavus Eseman has long been associated with the musical In terests of Chicago, where he at various times held the position of organist In Isaiah Temple, Center-Street German M. E. Church, Emanuel Episcopal Church (organist and choirmaster), of La Grange, a suburb of Chicago, and other church. s. The last named church position was held by him 10 years. Wherever he happ.ned to be placed he and his wife, seem to have greatly endeared themselves to pu pils and music-lovers. Mr. Eseman Is courteous and affable In his manner, and this brings him many friends. As a voice trainer he comes well recommended by Dr. H. S. Perkins, Secretary of the National Association of Music Teachers, the supervisor of singing in the Chicago High Schools and many others. Mrs. Eseman Is also a musician, having had experience in oratorio work as -ft ell as contralto soloist. She has given atten tion both to voice and piano, having b:en a pupil of Capclmelster, District of Olden burg, who enjojed the distinction of bt lng an 'intimate friends of Schumaiin. Mr. Eseman, in addition to his experi ence in vocal, piano and organ work, has given considerable attention to the violin, one of his pupils, Miss Mabel Johnson, having attracted the attention of Ysaye. Mr. Eseman has already begun rehear sal with the Arlon chorus, and after Thanksgiving will meet them twice a week, instead of once, as lias been the custom hitherto.

Outline for Guidance to Tho Studying- Its Development. It is possible that those Intending to. visit the loan collection of etchings now exhibited In the rooms, of the Art Asso ciation will be glad to opt out tho fol lowing outline for their guidance in study ing the examples of the different periods of Rembrandt's work, The quoted pas sage Is from the Introduction to the cata logue of the collection now on exhibition In the British Museum, prepared by Sid ney Cohin: "Rembrandt's etchings may convenient ly be divided, according to style and method, Into the work of three main pe riods 1628-1639, 160-1619 and 1650-166L The characters of the one period shade off gradually Into those of the next; but, speaking broadly, the work of the first period consists In the main of pure etch ing; by means of the bitten line; that of the second period of mixed etching and dry-point; while In the third period the use of preliminary work of the add is more and more laid aside, and the artist tends more and more to work lif pure dry-point, with an ever-Increasing breadth and boldness of effect." . Of special importance in the first pe riod (Nos. 64-95) are "The Raising of Laz arus" (79), "The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds" (81), "The Great Jewish Bride" (85), "Christ Before Pilate" (87), and "The Death of the Virgin" (92). In the second period (Nos. 96-122) land scape appears for the first time, and por traiture takes an Increasing place In Rembrandt's etched 'work. Among the most Important works of this period are the portraits of Cornelius Anslo (99), of EphraJm Bonus (116. reproduction), of Jan SJx (117, reproduction), and of the artist himself (120). "The Three Trees" (110), and "Christ Healing the Sick" (122). Among the works of the third period (Nos. 123-140) note especially the portrait of Jan Lutma (136) and De Faustus (129). Herb Gathering; Lost Art in England. London Express. It is a pity that a knowledge of herbs Bhould rank among the lost arts. Hardly nny up-to-date housekeepers dry and pre serve herbs for their own kitchen use. Yet the sweet, home-grown, sun-dried herbs are very different from the desic cated, tasteless "herbs of commerce" bought in bottles. It is a delightful Sum mer occupation to run down and preserve the fragrant, mint, the sweet knotted marjoram and the dried thyme, which give such an exquisite frjesh flavor to Winter soups, sauces and stews. The ola fashloned country women we read of as "ankle deep m the flowery thyme" ot their green herb gardens had the pleas ure of growing and bottling their own herbal harvest. Those of us who know the culinary Joys of home-dried herbs are tempted ta regret that the amateur herb alist like many another good thing Is rapidly going out of fashion.

Portland musical circles have just re ceived a valuable addition in the person of Mrs. F. D. Baker, a pupil of Carl Reinecke, who will make her home In this city. Mrs. Baker Is a brilliant pian ist, and a sound and well-rounded musi cian. While she was pursuing her stud ies in interpretation under Reinecke, in Leipsic, Germany, she was at the same time receiving instruction from Bruno Zwlntcher for technique, studying har mony with Rlchter, and voice with Pro fessor Goetz, who trained singers for the Leipsic opera. In America, before entering upon her European studies, she had devoted considerable attention to the pipe organ under G. W. Bischof, the well-known organist and composer of Washington, D. C, doing some concert work in that city. Her organ practice haa never been dropped. She has held a number of church positions, both In Ro man Catholic and Protestant churches, her large experience with the former as well as her own Individual tastes inclin ing her to the grand masses and ritual of the Catholic church. As a pianist Mrs." Baker has both technique and interpre tation which enables her to give highly Interesting readings from the works of Beethoven, Grieg, MacDowell and our own American composers. Kathcrlne Bloodgood Also. Katherine Bloodgood, the California contralto, well known to Portland music lovers, a society woman and recognized as a singer in concert and oratorio work, made a vaudeville plunge at Keith's New York, last Monday afternoon, with no little success, although she will probably be doing much better. Like most of those whose first vaudeville venture Is not eminently successful, Mrs. Bloodgood's failure to score as strongly as she might have done Is due not to nervousness nor a too-ambltlous offering of songs, but was induced by the fact that she elected to sing Scottish ballads in the place of of fering a greater variety In tho matter of her selection. Critics admit that she Is one of the best singers that has come into vaude ville In a considerable period, for her voice Is still fresh and has been splendid ly schooled, and with merely a change of songs she will make as solid a hit as has been allotted to any legitimate singer. It is said that after a few years of vaude ville, Mrs. Bloodgood will go to Europe for study, and then, grand, opera, PORTLAND'S DOWN -TOWN ...THEATER... ETROPOLITHN PHONE GRANT 741 Clarence H.
