THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER" 6, 1901'. 21 Portland home. It -was certainly without a parallel among living pianists. Port land may indeed be -congratulated to call her own a genius -who is today -without a rival in the musical world. Beatrice DIerke truly played like a goddess from the Olympus of pianists, with fingers like steel shod in velvet she made me forget an Anton . Rubensteln. Her self-posse-eion Is enormous, her repose magnificent, her feats of technique are simply mad dening, her wonderful tone and the beau tiful expression, for Instance, In the, B major nocturne by Chopin brought the tears Into my eyes. Her touch ranges from the crispest staccato to the most luscious legato. Some scale passages she plays en bloc, creating an impression of something massive and granitic. A stac--K cato whisper follows, and one marvels a't the adaptability and possibilities of the human hand. These are in a state of the highest muscular culture. Her sense of tonal values is abnormal. She Is a per fectionist, as it is for pure beauty she strives. Her interpretation is never bi zare, she does not try to seek some new path of eccentricity, avoids distorted sen sational effects, yet at every phrase, at every turn, one is confronted with new shades of meaning, subtle timings, which are delightful, but when she lets loose the thunderbolt of power her listeners re main dazed and breathless at the climax. Suffice it to say that she will create an unparalleled sensation in the great cities of the East andEuropc" Notes of the Stage- "Miss Hobbs," by Jerome K. Jerome, has ben translated into German.

The play Is given under the management of David Belasco. and the story concerns the af fairs of a Hebrew, and is of a serious nature. Miss Amelia Bingham's new play, "The Climbers," has a scene which is said to have been duplicated in New York. A widow and her daughters sell their Paris dresses on the day of the funeral of the husband and father. When produced by Richard Mansfield the play from Booth Tarklngton's novel, "Monsieur Beaucaire," will appear on. the" programme as Beaucaire, as Mr. Mans field has decided to dispense with the first part of the title.

NEW YORK, Oct L No time of the year is so delightfuLto the army of "music lovers as the opening of the season, un less. Indeed, it be the close. This state ment may seem paradoxical, but It is true. As long as concerts occur, there are people who cannot stay away, for to them music is like stimulants to the drunkard. They have Imbibed so much that they cannot impossibly assimilate more, but alas, the names of Joseffy or Hofmann, of Lehmann or of Sembrlch are too strong magnets to be resisted, and they go even though they are half seas over from all they have already had. What a blessing Summer and Its breez es (musical and atmospheric) are. The following statement Is confidential and must be kept as such. Never believe an ultra who tells you that he simply can't endure band music or light music, be cause It Is not true. Summer music is to a musician exactly what the comic page is to the serious reader of the newspa per. It goes to the right place, especially if it Is Sousa at Manhattan Beach. By the way, Souea sailed last week to discourse sweet sounds across the pond, and to do this It costs money of all colors and denominations, but Sousa can stand it. Be it understood he is the Rockefeller of the musical fraternity, and a "fact it Is that no one carries success more graciously than his highness the March King. This statement can be attested by hun dreds of aspirants who. firm in the be lief that they only need a hearing to be a second Sousa, have had most courte ous and kind treatment at his hands, In so far as he has given them the coveted opportunity. Kaltenborn has had a very successful season at the St. Nicholas roof garden with his orchestra. His programmes have been so diversified that the most sensitive was not shocked by the combination of beer and Beethoven. After all, probably Beethoven himself knew the value of the amber beverage after a strenuous struggle with his "oversoul." Savage and English Opera. So much for the past- The future holds glowing promises to the concert, opera and theater-goers of America, and the Jist of artists is a formidable one. Henry Savage offers the first musical attraction in the form of English opera at the Broad way Theater, which opened Monday, Sep tember 16, with Puccini's La Boheme. Now. of course, there will be those whose aristocratic noses will be carried a quar ter of an inch higher than usual at the very thought of opera outside- the Metro politan Opera-House, but Mr. Savage who learned a thing or two last season, can give some "very forcible and tangible reasons why" he will run opera for the people as he pleases. The cast Is com posed of singers upon whom he can de pend and who are known to the public as reliable; the repertory includes old favor ites new favorites and novelties. Cer tainly one would just a little rather not see "Tannbausei' or "Lohengrin" under these conditions, but if they were not in cluded, one might infer that they were, unable to present them properly, and It 'is. dangerous to get so near the truth of any thing. In hollow stage whispers, we hear that Mr. Savage has only a business lik ing for opera, and that he is not musical in any sense. This would be the only ex planation of the .fact that he is still sane, as affidavits can be furnished to the fact that he listened to 750 voices in two weeks. Poor Mr. Savage. Also poor 750 singers, because of course they could not all be engaged and the pathetic side of It is not difficult to see. Why do you ask, who are the singers? From where do they come? They form but a very small pro portion of singers from, every corner of America from your city and mine who had voices, and hopes. Perhaps their mites went to gain that much coveted European education. Only those who have' gone through similar experiences' know' what hardships, what privations they have endured among strangers in a strange land, away from love, away from sym pathy and encouragement of iriends who are waiting eagerly and anxiously for some report of success. And now they have returned to their own country, few of them want to go back to their own cit ies, however, haunted by the old prophet-seldom-wlthout-honor adage. So they have located in New York. A Poor Field. Now, New York has no permanent opera, has no opportunity for orchestral presen tations, has nothing to offer the young aspirant except the chorus work In a few extravaganza companies, where shape scores one hundred points and voice scores one, a very limited number of church positions, and a scramble for a handful of pupils. Why is this thus? you ask. Ahl why indeed; but one very good reason is that what the average Ameri can student considers good, faithful work, is the merest child's play in the face of the tremendous labor and abject slavery that art demands. The cast Includes, among less familiar names, Adelaide Norwood, Josephine Lud wlg, Gertrude Qulnlan, Gertrude Renny son, Marlon Ivel (more familiarly spelled from right to left) Herman De. Vrles, Wlnfred Goff, William Pruette and Joseph F. Sheehan. The orchestra" will be In the hands of Emerico Morreal, who Is well-known on the roid, having been Iden tified with several of the traveling or ganizations. It is too early to speak of the grand opera, because the principal occupation of most news-seekers Is that of making statements, and then denying them, the convenient license which seems to sway the balance, being the operatic star's priv ilege of "changing the mind." One thing Is certain (unless she changes her mind) and that Is that Sibyl Sanderson is to be here. The fair Sybil Is a belle Callfor nlenne and her voice should be corres pondingly mellifluous, for do we not look to the Bear State for honey and luscious fruits of every description and she is said to be a rare bit, at least a rara avis. Nordica's PIan. Nordlca, who. is Identified with the Metropolitan Opera House almost as closely as Grau himself, is going to try her luck In concert work through the States. She will have the co-operation of Katherlne Ruth Heyman, a pianist fitted to meet the artistic requirements of such a combination. Nodrlca's career has been one which should be an encouragement to every struggling student As Lillian North she was employed at Jordan, Marsh & Co.'s, In Boston, where her old teacher, John O'Nell, is still living, proud to say as he totters along, that she was his pupil. And be it understood that his teaching counted for something, for she left America in thoroughly good condition. Nordlca has just permitted her life to be trablished In book form. It tra .nm- piled and written by William Armstrong, 1 the weii-Known critic and lecturer. This talented American woman sarig Isolde for the first time In Germany at Munich, this month. Her success was great She has been engaged to sing Brunnhilde in the "Ring," next season, at the new Frfnz Regent Theater in that city. She Is not slated for grand opera in New York this season, but as she will bo 1 in the country, strange indeed, if one or two" performances 'will not present Nr dica "specially engaged lor this o'eca fiion." And L111I Lehmann, of Wagner's own choosing she is to appear In song recitals through America. Neither is she here tinder the auspices of Grau, but how can we doubt that New York will be regaled to a few of her wonderful presentations. Paderewskl's opera, "Manru," will b'e given this season In New York. Many conjectures have been made as to whether or not "he will come over for the event. Tho fact Is that he will not, as his Euro pean engagements, -which extend into 1902, prevent him from so doing. News of the first presentation In Dresden arrives as this goes to press, and from a musician who attended, I get personal in formation that the success was very great and that the music is exceptionally good. It is confldentlybelleved that Paderewskl will create a new departure In opera. Tho enthusiasm was enormous, the talented composer being recalled times'1' beyond number. A novelty which is of rare Interest to America Is the first presentation on any stage of "Judith," a lyric drama by George W. Chadwick, one of America's foremost composers. The subject is the story of Judith and Holofernes and the performance occurred at the Worcester Festival. Gertrude May Stein created the role of Judith. The other roles were Achlor, E. C. Towne; Sentinel, E. C. Towne; Holofernes. David BIspham, and Osias, Carl E. Dufft The Festival opened Tuesday,- September 24, with Cesar France's "Beatitudes," the second con cert was orchestral with Shannah Cum ming as soloist, the third concert pre sented the "Manzoni Requiem" of Verdi, at the fifth "Judith" was given, and the remaining three were orchestral concerts with Richard Burmeister, Ellison Van Hoose, Miss Griggs, Evans Williams, Gertrude May Stein and David BIspham as soloists. Emma Eames was heralded as the chief attraction, but at the eleventh hour she cabled "Impossible to come." So much for hopes. A tribute that has been paid to America by a foreign artist of note" Is well worth repeating. Wo always have had the Idea that our school system is just about right, and when Campanarl, the great baritone, decides to bring his son over that he may attend an American school, It makes us a little more sure that we are correct. Speaking of Campanarf, he Is really remarkable,- and the .most val uable man that Grau has in his forces. He Is not only a singer of rare attain ments, but put him in any opera In any role and he knows It from Alpha to Omega, Not this alone, but he is a mu sician of all-around ability. It Is not generally known that Campanarl was for some time a resident of America, a mem ber of the Boston Symphony orchestra. He played 'cello, and his brother, Leandro Campanarl, now leader of the Royal Opera in Milan, was one'of the first vio lins. EMlLIE FRANCES BAUER. DANGER FROM FLOWERS. Berlin. Scientist Declares They Are' Harmful to Singers, A special cable dispatch from Berlin to the New York World says: "An eminent throat specialist here has discovered that the perfume of certain strong-smelling flowers Is particularly dangerous to the voice. He specially mentions the violet, the rose, the lily of the valley, the nar cissus and the white lilac. Ho asserts that a singer can never sing so 'clearly In a room where the scent of flowers pre vails. "The well-known vocalist, Marie- Sasse, informed her doctor" that once, between acts she lost her voice from smelllngvlo lets. Christine Nilsson discovered thaTt the perfume of roses Impaired her voice and carefully removed all strong-smelling flowers from her house. Similar testi mony Is given by the famous bass singer, Delmas. Mme. Rene Richard, the great Paris teacher of singing, noticed that girls who came to her"- clashes wearing flowers always sang better when the fldw ers were removed into another room- v "Faure, another great authority, says violets are most dangerous, their perfume being as hurtful as tobacco or alcohol." NEW JOURNALISTIC VENTURE. . Portland Woman Represents the New YotJc Mnsical News Syndicate. Emllle Frances Bauer has been engaged by tho Musical News Syndicate Bureau, of New York, to furnish his patrons with bright letters of - information concerning various happenings In the musical world It Js needless o say tnat her critical, pedagogic and Journalist work, in the.most M'CARVER, REED AND M'CARVER, WITH "A HONOLULU COON Important musical centers of America, in cluding New York and Boston, and her acquaintance and intimate knowledge ,of the entire situation, peculiarly fit her' to furnish this matter.

TEETH OF A MASTODON VALUABLE. SPECIMENS FROM THE ARCTIC. Waa the North Pole Once a Region o Great Heat and Tropical Vegetation? A pair of mastodon teeth and a sec tion of jawbone drew crowds In front tff the office of the Burlington Railroad V yesterday. The curiosity is from Masto don Creek, near Circle City, AiasKa, ana wa3 broght down by John. Dodson, who has been operating1 a placer mine there since l9S. ' The huge molars are pronounced the lower front teeth of an animal that could easily have swallowed a horse, If the rest of its body was-' in proportion, to this section. The teeth are in a fair state o preservation, and show a neat grind 'ing surface of three by eight Inches each, -and with just enough jawbone to hold them, weighing 40 pounds. The specimen has not become petrified either, but re mains in its original state ot bone and ivory. A coating of silica had formed upon the surface, but when this has been rubbed off no sign of petrifaction ap pears. 1 Mr. Dodson, who was at the Hotel Fort- land last evening, Is a Pendleton young man, and was connected with the woolen mills there before striking for Alaska. Besides relics of prehistoric animals, he has found a good deal of coarse gold within the past three years on Mastodon Creek, and he considers- that he has valu able diggings there. He, like most xl the Alaskan miners, has come south to spend the Winter in civilization and to get rid of some of his hard-earned wealth. He thinks the region about his diggings is remarkably rich in relics of bygone, ages. "Preacher Creek," he said last evening, "cuts through a rich alluvial bottom, and the perpendicular banks show numerous tusks and bones of buffalo and mastodon, the former being of much larger proportions than those recently ex terminated In the valleys of the Upper Missouri. Tusks 10 feet long are quite common; and the miners dig these up to form arches over their cabin doors. Some of these tusks are a foot through ' and have an extra curve In them' like a ram's horn. The day Is not far distant when scientists from all over the world will visit Mastodon Creek for evidences of a period when the north pole was in- the temperate, If not the torrid zone." Mr. Dodson thinks these huge animals were suddenly exterminated by a revul sion of the earth's axis, as the position of many skeletons proves that the own ers were frozen to death in their prime. "Relics of vegetable growth also strengthen this theory," he said, "as our miners unearth pieces of timber that must have grown in a temperate clime." Mr. Dodson thinks Mastodon Creek Is tho best; placer mining district in Alaska. "All of our miners who went off to do better at Nome Tr other parts have come back," he said, "and they succeed In. mak ing good stakes on Mastodon Creek, if they use judgment in mining." He was back only once since he went there three -years ago. and he already wishes the Winter were over, in order to tackle the hydraulic pipes and the sluice boxes j again. L. L.
