11LD CHIMES- STILL RING
XORTH CirCROH BELLS LUSTY
AS IX PAUL REVERE DAYS.
Office of Ringer Hereditary in
Jewell Family; Grandson, 5,
Slated for Work.
BOSTON. On the date that the ar
mistice was granted by the allies the
chimes in the Old North church. Bos
ton, were rung for 45 minutes, thus
keeping up their record of ringing
for every important event in the his
tory of the United States.
The sound of these historic bells
was the signal which started Paul
Revere on his famous ride. Ten years
before the Revolution the bells rang
for the repeal of the stamp act, their
ringing proclaimed the news of the
signing of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, of the peace which fol
lowed the war of 1812 and of the
peace which ended the Mexican war.
The peace jubilee following the cas
sation of the civil war was celebrated
by these bells, also the victorious
conclusion of the Spanish war. A
sadder duty was sounding dirges af
ter the deaths of Lincoln, Garfield,
Zachary Taylor and Vice-President
Wilson.
The eight bells in the chimes were
cast in England and set up in the old
belfry in 1745. The bells are num
bered and each bears an inscription.
Some of these inscriptions which ex
plain the origin of the bells are:
No. 1. "This peal of eight bells is
the gift of a. number of generous per
sons to Christ church, Boston, New
England, Anno 1744, A. F."
No. 3. "We are the first ring of
bells for ye British Empire in North
America, Anno 1744, A. R."
No. 6. "The subscriptions for these
bells were begun by John Hancock
and Robert Temple, church wardens,
1743, and completed by Robert Jen
kins and John Gould, church wardens,
1744, A. R."
Up to 1840 It required nine men to
play the chimes as it was then done.
Each man held a rope and pulled
swinging bells until the clapper
touched the sides. That was a cum
bersome method and if one of the men
were absent the ringing had to be
given up.
Now each bell is fixed and when
the rope is pulled a striker fall3 on
the side of the bell, making the
sound.
Charles H. Jewell, the present chime
ringer, is one of the Jewell family,
whose members have been chime
ringers in the Old North church for
90 years. The privilege of ringing the
bells i3 handed from father to son.
Whon Charles, who is 54 years old,
gives up Jis task. Fred Jewell ex
pects to take his father's place. And
when Fred has served his time there
Is a grandson, Charles, now only &
years of age, who is destined to be

toric chimes for joy, sorrow, for good
news and for bad.
CREW 70 DAYS AT SEA
Harrowing Tale of Facing Death
for Several Weeks Told.
PHILADELPHIA. Weak from ex
posure and lack of food, the crew of
tho three-masted schooner Jean
Campbell pulled into Wlldwood, N. J..
In a lifeboat after an experience of 70
days at sea, during which their craft
was blown from its course six times.
The crew abandoned the Campbell
off Hereford bar when they caught a
glimpse of land.
Members of tho crew told a harrow
ing tale of facing death by starvation
or drowning for several weeks as
they tried to keep-their craft in its
course.
The schooner left Port of Spain,
Trinidad. January 14. and ran into
its first storm when about three days
out. Two more storms were encoun
tered in the succeeding two weeks,
each gale blowing the little craft
farther from its course
All available loose wood aboard the
vessel was burned in an effort to sig
nal ships that might have been in the
vicinity.
Food on the ship was running short
and the seven members of the crew
were put on emergency rations. Then
the Campbell encountered a fishing
smack and was given a supply of
hardtack and water.
The crew lived on hardtack and
water alone for nearly two weeks,
but the supply of both became ex
hausted just a day before the vessel
reached Hereford bar.
Captain Richard Cresse of coast
guard station No. 32 was notified by
the crew and a coast-guard cutter
was sent to rescue the abandoned
' ship.
The Campbell was towed to Cold
Spring harbor by the cutter Pequoit,
where the ship was loaded with pro
visions and the crew cared for. The
vessel, which was bound for Philadel
phia with a cargo of dye wood, will
be towed to this port . later. The
schooner belongs in Nova Scotia.
BIG STORES COMBINING
Similar Tendency Seen in All Eng
land's National Industries.
WASHINGTON. Amalgamation of
department stores In England is noted
in official trade reports received here
as the latest development of a ten
dency toward combination in each
branch of England's national indus
tries. Big stores, especially those in
the more important cities, are com
bining through purchase or consoli
dation and already it has become ap
parent to Bome observers that the
business soon will be concentrated in
the control of a few big interests.
The American chamber of commerce
In London reports that one of the
largest department stores of that city
recently absorbed three competitors
and has branched out in South Ameri
ca through the opening of a large
establishment in Buenos Aires.
"The value of advertising as a sell
ing force is becoming more realized
in England," the report said. "This
movement towards amalgamation is
not expected to destroy competition,
though it may tend to narrow its
scope."

CLOTHES may not make the man,
but they have a lot to do with
making the actress. In the opin
ion of Nora Bayes, the star of "Ladies
First," coming to the Hellig theater,
April 22, 23 and 24.
Miss Bayes is considered one of the
stage's best dressed- women. Her
gowns are creations and they look it.
Her dressmaker's bill must be enor
mous for no matter where she ap
pears, either in vaudeville or on the
musical comedy stage, the Bayes
gown3 are the last word In dress
making skill. Nora admits it and gives
excellent reasons for being a well
dressed actress. To begin with, she
says:
"I cannot sing if I am uncomfortable
and I certainly would be uncomfort
able if I a'ppeared before an audience
in an unbecoming gown. To be well
dressed you must devote time and at
tention to the study , of your clothes.
I .know the colors that look well
on me and I know if gowns are
properly made I canwear them in
telligently. It may seem strange to
talk about wearing a gown intelli
gently, but lots of women will know
just what I mean. You must ' feel
that you fit your gown to be com
fortable in it. I wouldn't think of
wearing anything new in the line of
dress unless I felt and knew that
it fitted me perfectly, both in figure
and in color.
"Keeping abreast of the times in
staue frocks is a mighty expensive
proceeding, but It pays in the long
run. If n audience aets you in the
lama gown continuously, they soon
tire of it. ' Probably this is true of
woman, more than men, but nowadays,
man has a very intelligent Idea of
what he thinks his women folks
ought to wear. He is educated up to
such a standard by the wives of his
friends and the girls he knows along
with well dressed women he casually
meets on the streets and In public
places. If he is at all observant he
soon begins to pick the dowdy-dressed
person from the well groomed one.
Naturally he draws comparisons from
the well-dressed ones to the females
of his own immediate family."

NEW YORK, April 10. (Special.)
It Beems beyond belief that
the great 71st regiment armory
could be sold out, but so wide has
ben the Interest in the coming music
festival that it is almost impossible
to get seats for several of the con
certs. The Rachmaninoff concert, for
instance, was sold out. A vast audi
ence was present at the opening con
cert when Frieda Hempel was heard
in the soprano part ot the "Elijah"
and Edward Johnston made his first
oratorio appearance since his success
with the Chicago Opera company.
There seems to be some argument.
in the matter of "first performance" '
following the announcement that the
cantata "Springtime" is to have its
premiere on the Rachmaninoff night.
The Schola Cantorum states that
under the title of "The Voice of
Spring" this work was sung under
direction of Kurt Schindler.in 1916.
Replying to this statement, the di
rector of the musical festival states
that ' "if the cantata 'Springtime' is
the same as the one which Schola
Cantorum claims to have performed
in 1916, the composer, Mr. Rachmani
noff evidently was not aware of this
performance." It was Mr. Rachmani
noff himself who suggested the com
position to Mr. Damosch as a novelty,
and for "first performance in Ameri
ca" at the festival of music on the
Rachmaninoff evening, April 7 at the
71st regiment armory. His represent
ative ordered the score and orchestral
parts from Europe, and a special
translation from the Russian into
English was made for the festival
performance. Mr. Walter Damrosch
consented to conduct this work, as an
attack of neurosis In the upper arm
prevented Mr. Rachmaninoff from un
dergoing the exertion of conducting a
choral work on the same evening he
was to play a piano concerto. In ad
dition to playing his second concerto
the composer accompanied at the pi
ano Miss Braslau's group of his songs'.
A special feature of the afternoon
concert of Saturday was the Moravian
Trombone Choir, which traveled from
Bethlehem, Pa., with the famous Bach
choir for the performance of works
by Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. As
is the custom at the Bethlehem festi
vals, the Moravian Trombone Choir
at precisely 2 P. M. played old Bach
chorales from the parapet of the
Thirty-fourth street and Parke-ave-nue
armory building. The participa
tion of the Bach choir in this festival
was made possible through the kind
ness of Charles M. Schwab. The Bach
were the only choral numbers, Beet
hoven being represented by'the fifth
symphony and Brahms by the dou
ble concerto in which Heifeti played
the violin and Casale the cello. Dr.
J. Fred Wolle conducted his own
choir of 300 voices.
This will close the activities of the
New York Symphony orchestra for
this season and, as has been widely
told, the organization under Walter
Damrosch will leave for its series of
concerts in four different countries
of Europe, where the utmost interest
has been manifested. Forty-nine con
certs have been given by the orches
tra under Walter Damrosch in New
York and Brooklyn, which means that
the organization Is in admirable form
to show the musical centers of Eu
rope what is accomplished in this
country in musical development. At
the New York concerts there were no
less than 44 composers represented,
Beethoven taking first place in num
ber. I
1 The closing concerts of Heifetz Sun
day afternoon in Carnegie hall and
John McCormack Sunday evening at
the Hippodrome were among the most
sensational events of the season. The
public was truly unhappy to take its
farewell from the young violinist,
who has become one of the greatest
favorites of the musical -world.
At his ninth concert of the season
John McCormack faced an audience
which could not have been larger
at least, he faced those in front of
him, as there were quite as many
seated on the stage and the enthusi
asm was at white heat.
The last new production promised
for this season by the Metropolitan
Opera company had its first hearing
on Wednesday night before an audi
ence that filled to suffocation the
vast auditorium. Between the Ital
ians who went to hear It as an Italian
production and the Russians who
were attracted by the Tschaikowsky
setting of a Poushkine poem, to say
naught of the rank and file of opera
goers especially interested in and at
tracted to novelties, breathing room
was at a premium. Russians shouted
themselves hoarse over what they re
garded as their especial pride and the
Italians did likewise over the pure
Italian art of De Luca, Martinelli and
Claudia Muzio, whom they are but too
willing to claim, although she was
born in this country. The prepara
tion and direction were in the hands
of Bodanzky, who had evidently lav
ished much thought and work upon it.
The title role was done by De Luca,
always a sterling artist and singer of
the first order, who lent distinction to
every measure which fell to his lot
His rival in affairs of the heart was
Martinelli. whose lovely voice no less
than his growing distinction, lent ele
gance to the occasion. Claudia Muzio
had new opportunities to reveal the
dramatic qualities of her equipment
and her singing was highly admired
at many points. Tatiana makes many
demands upon an artist and it is
doubtful whether roles which depend
so much upon psychology for a com-

plete fulfillment of the poj's inten
tion as do those of "Euen Onegin"
can ever be realized in operatic form.
They are too subtle to be conveyed to
a large audience in a large auditori
um and perhaps too subtle for the
sort of musical treatment they re
ceived. .
The return of Sophie Braslau to the
Metropolitan casts lent especial dis
tinction to the opening performance
of the week, when "Rigoletto" was
sung. This favorite contralto, after a
tour of extraordinary triumphs, sang
the part of Maddalena with new au
thority, charm and with even greater
beauty of voice. She was a welcome
addition to the castr which had also
