6ome Musical Recollections of fifty Years.
By Richard Hoffman. Charles Scrlbner-s
Sons, New York City," and the J. K. Gill
Company Portland.
It is a rare pleasure to read what en
accomplished musician says, one who
has been a friend -of Jenny Lind and
heard her sing- This Is the memora
ble experience of Richard Hoffman,
pianist, organist and violinist, who was
born in Manchester, England, May 24.
1S31, and died in this country August 17.
1909. His recollections. Just published, ex
tending to 168 pages, possess quite a
tender Interest and tell us about a most
interesting musical personage who has
left his stamp on American music one
who was on intimate terms of friend
ship with the great stars of a musieal
era Just closed. So intimate impres
sions are given that the reader in
sensibly inclines to the belief that he
has actually been in the presence of
the mighty ones of music about whom
Mr. Hoffman writes so charmingly.
From a biographical sketch by Mrs.
Hoffman we learn that her husband
was born on the birthday of Queen
Victoria of Great Britain, and that it
was his invariable custom when that
day came around to sit down to the
piano after breakfast and play "God
Save the Queen," while a British flag
Mrs. Hoffman incorrectly says "Eng
lish" hung over the mantelpiece. Al
though Hoffman lived in the United
States a good many years. It is note
worthy that he never became an Amer
ican citizen, his love for the land of
his birth being bo sentimentally strong.
Something was missing in Hoffman's
life. . . . He must have been a re
markably gifted pianist, and he fairly
shone as a sight reader. His peaceful
family life is adequately reflected, and
a pleasant word picture Is drawn of
his . Summer home at Little Boar's
Head, on the New Hampshire coast,
where one of the visitors was Harriet
Beecher Stowe, who "passed the great
er part of every fair day on the beach,
attired in a bathing suit, going in and
out of the water as she felt disposed,
having a little talk with her friends
on the isand then running into the
waves for another dip."
But Hoffman is at his best in. de
scribing musical celebrities, and It Is
amusing to read his personal experi
ence of Mendelssohn. Hoffman, when
a boy, assisted at a Birmingham mu
sical festival at which Mendelssohn
was conductor, and Hoffman s" duty was
to manipulate some of the organ stops
for Dr. Gauntlet, the organist. This is
a delicious bit about Mendelssohn:
'How well I recall that small, lithe figure,
the head rather large, face long and oval,
eyes prominent but full, large and lustrous,
beaming with the light of genius. I fol
lowed every motion and gesture, and, in
breathless expectancy, waited for him to
lift his baton. I cannot hope to describe
my musical impressions and emotions on
this occasion, since some one has aptly said
that "music begins where language leaves
ofT," but I remember well how he drilled
the chorus, making them repeat many times
the recitative In the first part which illus
trates the talking together of many people,
and hta evident wish to give the effect of a
confusion of voices. Once or twice during
the rehearsal he came up to Dr. Gauntlet
to say: "Not so loud: push in such, and
such a stop." But as soon as bis back was
turned Gauntlet would say to me quickly
"Pull them out again, pull them out again."
,...
Mendelssohn was one of the best conduc
tors, but he would seldom beat more than
the first 1ft or 2 bars of an overture' or
movement from a symphony; he would then
lay down his baton and listen, often ap
plauding with the audience. He would take
It up again when he wished a crescendo or
rallentando or any other effect not noted
in the parts.
By far the most Interesting portion
of the book is where Hoffman gives
his personal impressions of Jenny
Lind, of whose American concert com
pany he was a member:
The pleasure I obtained from hearing this
wonderful artist so frequently was in Itself
an education not to be overestimated. As I
remember her voice, it was not so brilliant
as It was dellctously rounded and of an ex
quisite musical timbre. It possessed great
volume and what seemed an Inexhaustible
reserve force. She had a most attractive
personality and nothing could have been
more naive and charming than her manner
on the stage. She would trip on and off.
as if in an ecstasy of delight at the oppor
tunity of singing, bowing and smiling to
her audience and giving every one present a
flattering sense of contributing In a measure
toward the success of the evening. She
had three or four songs which showed the
wonderful compass and power of her voice,
and one or more of these was called for at
every concert. A Swedish echo song. In
which she would echo her own voice by a
sort of ventriloquism that was quite marvel
ous, and another In which she made a re
markable diminuendo, reaching a pianissimo
as faint as a sigh but with a carrying power
that made It distinctly audible at the most
extreme limits of Castle Garden or Trlppler
HalL where the later concerts were given.
One of the most haunting things to me
was her singing of Tauberfs bird song "I
Know Not Why I Am Singing." Her shake
was the finest I ever heard, so close and even
as to be altogether perfect. Her voice,
which she said herself was naturally stiff
and stubborn, she had educated and prac
ticed Into such a degree of perfection that
her roulades and cadenzas wei e unparalleled
in their execution. In her sacred songs she
rose to the sublime, and on one occasion as
she finished singing the aria. "I Know That
My Redeemer LIvetb," I recollect that Dan
iel 'Webster, who was seated in the center
of the balcony, rose from his seat and made
her a profound bow. Her rapt expression
of face and never-ending volume of voice
made her appear like some inspired seraph
delivering a divine message.
Hoffman modestly adds: "In places
where no orchestra could be obtained,
BurKe and I generally began the con
cert with a duet, then each a so'o, be
fore the prima donna appeared. It is
true that no other performance than
the singing of Mile. Lind counted for
anything, and that the duet which I
played at the first concert with Ben
edict (afterward Sir Julius) was hardly
listened to, so eager was the audience
to compare notes and exchange its
impressions of the wonderful singer."
Jenny Lind, great singer as she was,
6howed that she was also a good busi
ness woman by breaking her original
contract with P. T. Barnum, by which
he was to pay her J1000 per night for
150 concerts and all expenses. "When
she found out that the receipts for the
first night were $28,000, she demanded
$1000 per night and half the receipts
after $3000, with all expenses paid.
Barnum was wise enough to see that
he had discovered a gold mine, and fell
in with the singer's demands." E. C.
Benedict is quoted as saying that the
price of ticketfikfor Jenny LInd's first
concert inAmerica, in 1851, ranged
from $10 to $100, at auction, for choice
of seats, and $5 for promenaders. The
top price, $300, was paid by John n.
Genln, a hatter.
A peculiar story is related of Gott
schalk. the pianist. It seems that
Gottschalk had a habit of biting his
nails to such an extent that Hoffman
found the piano keys to be covered
with blood, when Gottschalk had fin
ished playing.
The Russian Road to China. By Linden
Bates, Jr. Illustrated. Price, i. Hough
ton, Mifflin Company. Boston, Mass.
This is a. dispassionate yet scholarly
and eloquent book depicting the path
of destiny Russia has taken to reach
the Pacific, and win ice-tree harbors.
Yet. the brok is not a theoretical one
ft is an account of an actual trip Mr.
Bates made along the Trans-Siberia
&u pjiii0r50pnr uvs
. IN TWO 'W0RB5,S
SUSTAIN" AND A8ST&M"
V
I if 1 i?yr
u
Railroad, and thence by horse to Pekln.
He examines the histories of both Rus
sia and China, speculates on the des
tinies of each, and then leaves the
reader to find the answer. The book Is
one of the most Informing of the year.
Mr. Bates makes a plea for a Trans
Mongolia railroad, offering to the
plainsmen of Central Ahia a prospect
of civilization and advance, and opening
to the world the best of the great Asia
trade-routes.
"Examine a globe and see what, in
the shortening of distance, this land
route to Pekin signifies," says our au
thor. "Note the enormous circumnavi
gations that must be made in going
around by India and Suez, and measure
then the direct overland route by the
Urga postroad and the Trans-Siberian
Railroad. ... Down the ancient
road lies a last avenue of advance.
Eastward Is Manchuria, where artil
lery and science nrust decide the day
with Japan. Southward is India,
where - England's guarded gateway
among the hills can only be opened
from behind. But, into Mongolia fate
may decree that the yollow -capped
Cossacks, drafted from Russia's Mon
gol Buriats, shall lead once more the
nation-absorbing march of the "White
Czar. Por another memorable ride, the
Cossacks, who on their shaggy ponies
led the long conquering way acress the
continent, may yet mount and take
the road to China."
What if China should objeotT Mr.
Bates thinks that the old fighting spirit
of the Mongol race has spent itself, or
at least that it has been subjugated to
the peaceful precepts of Buddhism:
"The sons of the old soldiers have
learned to shave their heads, and croon
Tibetan prayers and the fires of a peo
ple's ambition are quenched in the
creed that makes abstention from ef
fort" a cardinal virtue, and annihilation
life's supreme objective. What there
was of virtue and valor lies buried
in distant graves."
The achievements in world-wide con
quest of the great Mongol race, espe
cially the deeds of Genghis Khan,
Kublal the Magnificent, Mangu, Ha
loon and Tamerlane make up glorious
chapters and stir the Mood. Russia's
work in meeting and wearing out the
Mongol invasion is warmly praised. It
is shown that under Mangu Khan, the
Mongol empire was liberal enough to
permit and encourage the teachings of
Christianity, and that when different
bodies of ecclesiastics quarreled over
the Chinese name for God, the Empe
ror, tired of the wrangling, condemned
the Christian religion and killed the
churchman, save those whom he wanted
for the Imperial observatory.
China, it is stated, should at once
raise and drill a modern army for de
fense, and spend $50,000,000 for this
purpose. It is admitted that the true
Chinese has notyet shown that he is
a fighting man, but Mr.Bates thinks one
could not ask for better raw material
for a soldier. If China cannot raise this
army for defense the belief is ex
pressed that China will be parceled
among the land-grabbing nations of
Europe.
"The Russian Koad to China" has
special attraction for Oregon readers
because of the fact that the family of
the author is well known and much
esteemed in this section of the country.
Twenty-Second Anniversary Year Book o
the American Association of Public Ac
eonntants. Issued from the office of the
secretary of the association, 69 Pine street.
New York City.
Three hundred and sixty-three pages of
- 'St sr-
'Is
It
valuable information, relating to the de
partment of business books and accounts.
The book, in short, gives the proceedings
of the annual meeting of the American
Association of Public Accountants, held at
Denver, Colo., October 18-21, 1909, and un
doubtedly will be of much use in libraries
as a book of reference, and also in the
offices of public accountants. Of course,
it will never be In the lists! of the "best
sellers. " for public taste rather inclines
to novels, and such. Still, the book has
its uses.
It is interesting to recall that the
American Association of Public Account
ants was founded in Kew York City in
the year 1887, and that the objects of the
association, officially, are: 'To associate
into a society or guild for their mutual
benefit and advantage the best and most
capable public accountants practising in
the United tSates, and through such as
sociation to elevate the profession of
public accountancy as a whole, and to
promote the efficiency and usefulness
of such society by compelling the observ
ance of strict rules of conduct as a con
dition of membership, and by establishing
a high standard of professional attain
ments) through general education and
knowledge."
At the present time this association has
a membership of 873,' and is still growing.
So you see, it is a real working, useful
factor In business life of today. It Is
satisfactory to note, in looking over the
reports of the Denver meeting, that Ore
gon was well represented in the delib
erations. The Storm Birds, by Sohroeder Davis, fl.60.
Moffet, Yard & Co., New York City, and
the J. K. Gill Co., Portland.
At a time like the present, when legist
Iatlon is formulated looking to the rais
ing of the American battleship Maine out
of the mud and water of the Havana
harbor, a novel like "Storm Birds" is
seasonable. The hero is Lieutenant-Commander
Stewart Blake, of the American
Kavy, and the villain is Viscount Ybavia,
attached to the Spanish Embassy at
Washington, D. C. Ybavia secretly poses
as Alvarez, a Cuban patriot. He and
Blake become diplomatic enemies, an
enmity which is intensified when the
blowing up ocours of the Maine. That
latter event is only briefly referred to
in the novel. Ruflno is an old-fashioned
assassin, and the Spanish Ambassador is
Don Plo de Camfonero. President Mc
Kinley is disguised as the President,
and the story with its dramatic love in
terest and skilful handling of diplomatic
Intrigue, leads up to the verge of our war
with Spain.

A dramatic and really well told ranch
story of Colorado, the ranch being the
C bar of Robert Carter and the cowboy
hero Ken Douglas, whose proper name
is Kenneth Malcolm Douglas, of Tale
'82. Douglas is promoted to be foreman
of the C bar ranch, and finds out that
his employer's cows are being system
atically stolen by the bad men of the
O. O. range. Bad Man Matlock mixes up
in the general feud that occurs, and the
love of interest is heightened by Miss
Grace Carter. Tragedy is added by a
Mexican girl, and humor and philosophy
by Aunt Abigail, who speaks in choice
Southern dialect. Better than the usual
ranch story.

WHITE PLAGUE LOSES GRIR
Reduction In Mortality From Con
sumption Reported in Ireland.
DUBLIN, July 2. (Special.) A Bub
stantial reduction in the mortality;
from consumption in this country was
reported by Lady Aberdeen at the spe
cial meeting of the Dublin city and
county branches of the Women's Na
tional Health Association. In 1908 the
decrease was recorded as 0.1, and
though the figure represented 3S6
deaths less that year than for the pre
ceding year, it raised no great hopes.
But the downward movement haa
been continuous, and there Is now the
considerable and satisfactory decrease
of nearly 1000 in two years to be
placed to the credit of the crusade. This
must give hearty encouragement to all
engaged in the good work.
Medical Topics in Xovels.
N Y. Press.
The question of whether medical epU
sodes and medical scenes are lit sub
jects for fiction can be answered only
in one way. They are. Medicine la
closely interwoven with the substance)
of modern life, and clearly falls with
in the province of those writers who
essay to describe life. Medicine haa
nothing to lose, but everything to galrr
from those writers who can show how
Intimately its teaching must Influence
every sort of social and political de-
velopment.
