And now that he Is dead "hv in crown him with glory and , iv Mm the recoirnltlon denied him while he was healthy and sane. But sven that seems In keeping with ' JJacDowell'a character. It was In the fight for the Ideal In music that he - died, or that he suffered the collapse his.H " la hraurht on his death. It was his fight against the evanescent in music that made the work so hard And so it is right that If he could not be .na,i th nlaca he deserved in his lifetime that his music should live fMacDowellS history Is one of the 'most trarlo In all musical story From the firstho was Imbued with the hi gh ost Ideals and struggled incessantly for their attainment and worked In behalf f tbo muatcai uplifting of the nation. When he wss appointed to the chair .of musio at Columbia university In New York many rejoiced and he roust have rejoiced with them, for it seemed to be the recognition of his principles and his high standards, an PP1"0" ' his efforts and aa offer of assistance In his mission. ... But it proved to be his downfall. Many, perhaps eight out of ten, would have yielded their Ideals: would have chosen the easiest path of gaining fame, pleasing the authoritlea and the public , it the expense of their Ufa hope. Mao I fiowell fought against It and fell in ths fight. When he was conquered by a nervous collapse, ths result of continu ous work and worry and maybe of grief and disappointment, the world and most U the country suffered a real loss. For ths past few years he has been in a living death; his mind was gone and his capabilities were ahattered com u. ji-ii a waV un Thursday . sit the age of 46 years sad thing to - contemplate wnen one mu i' . fulness of Salnt-Baena. of Dr. Msx .

And yet during ths short time that ,.-. . he was in his senfth he did a remarkable i f amount of work. Many think of him as the writer only of the pretty little ' song-things that are played around as -'' fillers on piano programs. They are -mninltal- heautlrut. bespeaking; the vi.j mA haantiful nature of the man, but they are not his great works. His concertos, his symphonies, his Bym : phonic poems are all peat and they ' have brought to him In Europe the title Tof "ths American Beethoven."

Since then he has been slowly . gaining more and more recognition. And now that the last necesary step 4s taken that is necessary to tne recog nition of unknown genius, what Is there ' . to prevent the whole world from arising . to call him great?

Arthur Weld, the director of music In the performance of "A Walts Dream," is very enthusiastic over the score of this operetta. He says of it: "We all remember the patriot who so truly said, 'Let who will make the nation's lsws. If I may make its songs,' and nothing Is stronger than the enormous vitality and governing force of the true 'yolk song' in any country. But If this be true of any and every country, it Is nowhere truer than in Austria, and just as 'Paris, is France,' so Is Vienna Indeed Austrian Itself. And no volk song is nearer to the hearts of the people than Is the true waltos to the Viennese, Indeed it Is a universal volk song. We, for example, inspire patriotism with The Star Spangled Banner; we invoke tender re membrance of the lost cause' with My Old Kentucky Home'; we find pathos in 'Dolly Gray, the sentiment of love In 'Genevieve,5 and so on. In other words, we use many different songs of the people for many different emotions, but the true Veinnese Inspires all of these with ths ever varying phrases of the waltz; that is. the waltz played in the ever varying Viennese manner. vvitn us the waits is a metronomio the brutal the Insist (- ' .'V l Paderewskl, the Pianist.
