It is a singular fact that this song whoso tones have rousod responsive throbs In every patriot's heart should celebrate Its one hun dred years of existence at a tlmo when America is the solo nation of all the world's powers to bo at peace. The history of the "Star Spangled Jlanner" Is a most romantic one. Its real origin Is obscured In doubt, but almost one hundred years berore Francis Scott Key, a young lawyer, gave It a new birth iu tho form in which It has since roinuluc.l, It was .widely known, that Is the music, not tho words, which Key wrote Inter, ns a drinking song, tut It. oil "To Annciooit hi lieavon." Ilec.iusc of IIb largo compass, its constant ship ping, tho exhilarating upward rush of melody In its opening phrase and Its forceful expressions In the J.ilter phrases, It made it a most popular bariihannllan dlily. .eliln-r the name of the author nor composer can lie round 10 me song hi u.. f oi in. Tht words bine betm attri buted to many authors, ono of whom was Itnlph Tomllton, who was in the I Nth century, president of the Anacreontic Society of London, a wild drinking club which held Its meetings In tho "Crown mid Alienor" In the Strniul. Tho melody was very popular In Kuglnml. and ninny edition were published ami also many 'plngim-Islus and paragraphs. A masonic nulling of the tune was published In Hub tin hi I M-', but no credit wan grven to the original ioinpn.ie-. As an odo In I he .Masonic order It wns niailo known Iu many prominent and patriotic Americans, and from some of these sources It li Inferred that Frances Scott Key must have tieen familiar with the melody when he wrote "The Slur Spangled Manner." Ills connection with the sung is re lated ms follows: In tho summer of IS J the war which wni ruging Inn ween the I'nlied Stste mid (I rent llrltini sceme.; to run alnicst entirely in favor of the latter tint hit.

Its melody is by no menus an ideal one for chorus singing, but its groat nHsnelntloiiK and its lofty words havo forever endeared it to the American heart, and until some uativo com poser can glo us a more practical tune.

The innkers of phonographs and talking machlnca are making an especial effort this mouth, because of the season nnd because of the centennial of "The Stnr Spnngled Milliner." to give the public all that Is best nnd highest In music. The September lists of productions con tain ninny numbers tlint It would be ImnoBilhlc to hear except on concert stnges. Noted singers nnd players havo combined to render programs of extreme merit. A fenttiro of peculiar Interest Is tho great artists hi combination, for instance, the rendition by .lohti Mc Corinnck. the great Irish tenor, of Schubert's "Ave Maria," accompan ied by Frit Krelsler, Austria's fu uioiiB violinist. An opportunity to hear them In concert lias never been presented on the concert stage, but through tho melluin of the phono graph they ciin now be enjoyed, as well hi Marshflold its New York. It has remained for the innkers of tuese popular instruments to ac complish this, not only bringing the ut of the great musicians true to life, hut enabling one to heir com binations of artists which even In rent life It would be impossible to hear up to the present time. Another combination for tho mouth's output of records is the sliming, by Pasiiunle Amnio, of the .Mptropollfin Oporu Chorus, New York, mid Frieda Ilotnpol. of n duet from Truvlatii.
