PORTLAND GIRL AT THE HUMBERT TRIAL
Lillian Myers Sees Famous Swindler in the Criminal Court of Paris
PARIS, France, Aug. 20. As all, good
things come to an end, so Is my
iptay in Europe- about to terminate; for
rwhen I step aboard the mighty liner on
he 13th of next month I say, with a sad
heart, farewell to the student days that
icome but once In a lifetime, those happy
days that only students themselves can
appreciate; farewell to the concerts, the
jplcture galleries, and the many scenes of
historical Interest. I am sorry In this,
any last letter from Europe, that I cannot
give some Interesting accounts ofmuslcal
affairs, but that is not possible as Paris
5s musically and socially dead at the pres
ent time, as both professors and pupils
lore taking a well-earned rest at the dif
ferent Summer resorts.
In our wanderings about this city we
inderstood that the celebrated Humbert
trial was in progress. I mean the family
who swindled Parisian bankers out of
enormous sums of money. "We went to
the Palais of Justice, which was guarded
iy a large number of gendarmes, and
when we applied for entrance to the court
Toom we were told by one of the guards
that we would not be allowed to enter.
.After showing him The Oregonlan press
card, which he looked at in awe, he
tasked a superior official who said we
should come the following day at 10:30
iA. M.
So today we were prompt in attendance,
Hand armed with cards, and passports on
which are the large, red government seals,
applied again for admission and he told
us to wait, which we did for about five
minutes. Then we were presented to the
clerk of the court who wished to see our
references and credentials. Again we
held up our passports, which, of course,
lie could not read, and thought 'twas some
thing other than it was, and thus we were
admitted to the courtroom, which was
very large, decorated with carved wood.
'On the front wall just over the President's
chair, was a life-sized painting of Christ
on the cross. After being seated for
about ten minutes one of the ushers came
up to us and asked to see who gave us per
mission to enter the courtroom. "We very
dlgnlfledly said: "The President." "We

Louis C. Elson, of Boston, pleads for a
thence In public school education, which
at present Is along wrong lines, inasmuch
n It "Inculcates performance ana ere
atlon in music from first to last and
scarcely recognizes the non-performer as
a factor in art at all." He says that what
is wanted In the public schools is not
classes in slneins. but classes in musical
appreciation. As only a very few pupils
are likely to take up music as an accom
Bllshment and fewer still follow It pro
fesslonally, he urges that the youth of
the country be instructed in "music appre
elation," so as to fit them for Intelligent
listeners.
In explanation of how this should bo
were In great trepidation that wa might
be ejected from the courtroom, but a
large crowd of ladles coming in, and he,
being jyery busy conducting them to their
seats with great politeness, left us alone.
But every once in a while when he came
in our direction, I said to my companion:
"Drop your eyes, Anne, so he won't
notice us." The audience was made up
of crowds of curious worsen who came
with opera'glasses and newspapers, which
they read until the court was convened.
The Jury consisted of 18 men. The
lawyera wore black, flowing gowns and
bibs In white, like the blBhops wear. "We
saw Labor!, the man who saved Dreyfus;
"he was in this case also the lawyer of
Madame Humbert. After waiting one
and a half hours, at precisely 12 o'clock
the bell rang, the five Judges, headed by
President Bounet, all robed' In bright red,
entered the courtroom. Then followed
Madame Humbert, her husband and
brothers. Madame Humbert was gowned
In black with a white tulle bow at the
neck and with a touch of white tulle in
her black hat. The trial commenced and
one of the witnesses, of the name of Ber
nard, who was swindled out of a great
sum 500.000 francs gave his testimony,
which was Interrupted by the Judge, the
lawyer and Madame Humbert, who all ex
citedly talked, at once this Is evidently
the manner of trying criminal cases in
thl3 country. Madame Humbert is an
extraordinary woman, but according to
my Idea of physiognomy, the French can
not be good Judges of character by facial
expression, as her black, pop eyes, which
shift from side to side, would make a
good picture in the New York Police
Gazette as a celebrated pickpocket She
shows consciousness to be very small in
her caliber. She has a strong head and
a doubly strong nose, showing good mem
ory and good judgment, and had she put
her mind to good objects she might have
been the dictator of this country. "We were
-delighted to witness this trial as w& know
several prominent American lawyers who
did not succeed In gaining admittance.
And now farewell to the dear old Ore
gonlan, that best of all papers, through
which I have passed many a pleasant
hour since my wanderings from home.
This letter heralds my return to dear old
Portland. ' ULL.IAN MYERS.

gone about, he says It should start in the
primary and lower grammar school
classes. A simple course of musical acous
tics might awaken the child's Interest in
the symmetry of tone and chord. The
scale construction which constitutes the
language of a composition might be ap
proached at a little higher grade.
The tone color of each Instrument
should next be studied. The brooding
character of the viola, the portentous and
sometimes grotesque style of the contra
bass, the feverish brilliancy of the piccolo,
the rustic vein of the oboe, the comic
character of the bassoon, the baleful
tones of the muted horns, the suspense
that can be pictured upon the kettle
drums all - these and many more effects
should become recognizable to the student
auditor.
"President Roosevelt likes music with
a Jingle in it" remarked a Washington,
D. C, musician, who lately observed the
President when he was reviewing officer
at a great parade. "There were many
bands in the parade," he continued, "and
most of them as they passed the Presi
dent's revlewlncr stand played their
'grandest air martial music with ma
jestic measures. These bands made no
visible Impression on President Roosevelt,
but when a band came up and struck up
'Garry Owen.' with lots of action In it;
the President Jumped up from his chair
and began to clap his hands like an en
thusiastic schoolboy. He kept up the ap
plaudlng, smiling his appreciation also.
until the band had passed. This same oc
currence took place later In the review.
The quick lively march caught the Presi

Max S. "Witt the well-known composer,
who for the past" eight years has been
with the firm of Joseph "W. Stern and
Company, has signed a contract with
Broadhurst and Currle, by the terms of
which he takes general charge of the mu
sical end of all the productions to bo made
by that firm. Mr. "Witt became known a
few years ago through his ballad, "The
Moth and the Flame," the words of which
were by George Taggart This was fol
lowed by "My Little Georgia Rose,'
"While the Convent Bells "Were Ring
ing." "When the Fields Were White With
Cotton" and many other popular hits.
Last season his "Glow Worm and the
Moth," Interpolated into "Nancy Brown,'
made a big hit
Prince Ludwlg Ferdinand, of Bavaria,
the musician, doctor and nephew of the
Recent of Bavaria, In an Interview pub
llshed regarding the Wagner celebration
In Berlin October 1, Is quoted as saying
It is Tn the first place our duty to re
spect the memory, ideas and creations of
Wagner, and for this reason I consider the
production of 'Parsifal In America as be
inc someioinc ausuiuieiy uujusuueu u.uu
as lackiritr in veneration. In Munich It
has been seen how the world, and es
pecially America, united In honoring
Wagner."
Kelley Cole, the young tenor "who is to
make his first concert tour In America, Is
to make a specialty of rarely heard and
beautiful songs, modern and classical. His
voice, wnlch has been trained under
George Fergusson In Berlin, lsjiccordlng
to the European critics, of exceptional
quality which combines with the warmth
and richness of the baritone the sweetness
and the purity of the tenor. Ho has made
notable successes In England with Ed
ward Elgar's "King Olaf" and "Carac
tacus" as well as the tenor parts In "The
Dream of Gerontlus."
No wonder tho number of Gorman mu
sicians In this country Is large. Their
pay In Germany is terribly poor. Her
man Rltter states that first viola players
in concert and opera orchestras of the
Fatherland usually receive from J350 to
$500 a year. When the position of Kapell
meister, of the town of Ratlber, fell va
cant there were 140 applicants for the of
fice, and of this number 50 had had an
academic education. f
One year after Edwin Grasse, the Amer
ican violinist who makes his first concert
tour in this country this season, was ad
mitted to the Royal Conservatory in Brus
sels, he won the first prize with distinc
tion, and in 1901 the "Prix de Capaclto"
was awarded him "with the veryhighest
honors." Young Grasse Is a protege of
the great Joachim upon whose advice he
began his concert career In Berlin last
year.

TlirouRh Her Eyes.
She was not In the least aware how
pretty she looked, as she stood on the
dock with the sunshine playing on her
lovely hair, and the flush of excitement
on her cheeks. She was trying so hard
to be dignified, and succeeding only In
looking demure. Her first reception! All
her girlish fancies were athrill with do-
light, as sne pictured nerseix among a
throng of handsomely dressed women and
gallant naval officers.
An exclamation escapes her lips, for
in the distance she sees the launch. Th
sun Is shining on Its silvery canvas, and
It looks like a beautiful bird, skimming
through the water. It Is coming nearer
and nearer now it Is here. With a pretty.
gracious air she allows tho handsome
young officer to assist her Into tho boat.
What a man of the world he seems to
her!
A moment more", and we were speeding
toward Uncle Sam's warship, the stanch
three-master which lay at anchor In the
distance. The jolly little Jack tars were
skipping about upon Its decks, and now
and then snatches of the mysterious bugle
calls could be heard. Our little maid
gazed demurely out over the water, and
tried to look unconcerned, but her dark
eyes sparkled and the telltale flush on
her cheeks deepened Into a rosy pink.
Now the little launch has slackened its
pace, and, after a few graceful turns,
has landed us safely upon the ladder of
the ship. She was one of tho first to
reach the deck. For an instant she stood
in silent pleasure and admiration, and
then: "Surely it's fairyland but no,
fairyland would not have those great,
shining guns, or those mighty anchors,
with their heavy chains."
To me it is an old, old story; but as :
look at the hundreds of flags of all na
tions draped artistically about the decks
the myriads of little lights, and the soft
tones of the dainty Summer gowns
blended into one harmonious sea of color,
her enthusiasm seems to warm me. Look
ing at It through her eyes, It Is a falry
1 land. Indeed. "With an odd twinge of
Jealousy I watch Jher. sweet serious fate
as she listens knowingly to the learned
explanations of the pompous young en
sign, who showers naval terms, and items
concerning marine ordnance, upon nor.
J, -oo. js&t bits of information concerning
iuaxim -xtoraenieiat auiomuuu uua
pounders, Colt automatic guns, six-pound
Hotchkiss, rapid-fire guns." Suddenly the
band, which is concealed behind flags and
ferns, strikes up the "Navy Deux Temps,
and in a few seconds tho girl ana tne
ensign are gilding over the deck. I watch
them until they are lost from view
amidst a sea of bright uniforms and
pretty gowns. A gay laugh floats back
to me happy children! H. M. JJ.
