recall tha treatment ; the, men whose
memories we now -revere, received when
they ware living. We study th history
of literature and 'our "blood bolls ' with

writer -whose effort ware o far In ad
: vance of their age that tha writer were
corned and left to die In poverty. The

It la much the aatna feeling aa w ex-
' perlsncsd heni as children, tw read- tha
' , itory of Christ and wept over the blind
ness of the Jew and felt a hopeless
sense of desolation over tha .lack of
moral courage displayed by Pontius
Pilate. I aay "as children," for as
grow older mayhap wa realise that un
der the same oondltlons we, too, might
have been blind and stubborn; that un
der their .lights we, .too, might have
been persecutors. But more likely are
wa to forget that olrcumstanoes repeat
themselves; that everyday wa may Jeer

the, time; that a few generations ago
many of the facts now accepted by us
as tha most rational common-sense
seemfcd to the people of that time aa ab
surd as do some of the things w laugh
at now. And so it is always well to
defer the self-patting on the back.
But I started to speak of honor-deferred.
No doubt to tha genius who
was starved Into heaven by his unap
prectatlve and, may I say, pig-headed
brethren, the monuments created to him
now end the laurel wreaths and the
songs and praises accorded him are a
Joy and delight forever from his birds
eye View. Eternal Joy is the only thing j
that' can"1 aengnt mm now, prooaoiy.
But I wonder if the heart pangs, and
the hunger'of his soul and the more ma
terial hunger oi those days gone by are
also eternal. Ths wouia he saa maeea.
Weill perhap, tardy adulation Is the only
thing blind, stumbling humanity can give
to make tip for Its errors. But could not
the remedy well be applied earlier?
I read an article the other day In
which the writer flayed Germany In a
wholesale manner for its mlsapprecla
ttonof Its great. He said that Germany
felt It had much for which to reproach
Itself In Ha treatment of Mosart and
, Schubert, and, even later, Robert Frans,
names familiar and loved throughout
the whole musical world; that It had
been making up in later years Its Inhu
man treatment by means of monuments

- starved to -death by lack of support.
But then he grew Indignant in earnest

tury, when people are supposed to haye
reached the stage of enlightenment In
such "matters, they have actually
starved to death another musician.

Brooklyn now has a 1, 200.000 con
cert and opera auditorium, which Is
called the Academy of Music. It is a
handsome edifice and suitable, to Its
purposes. Some objection was made to
naming it as it is named because the
title .seemed to limit its sphere of use
fulness. However, the purpose for
which It was primarily built won out.
A grand opera season over In Brooklyn
by the Metropolitan forces Is already
assured. More than $70,000 for the 1
performances has already been sub
scribed. The initial performance will I
take place Saturday evening, November
14, two days before the opening of the
season at tne Metropolitan opera.
An Enarlish iournal informs the world
that "In a recent book of irtemolrs a

poured out wherever he chose to press
it' " The comparison is excellent, for
It enables us to understand why ao

composer's melancholy, a deep pathos

seem in Itself a sufficient chamnion.
