It Is tank too blf for on Ion man

Jt takes something more tangible than

.Not being able to sttam up so aa to
warm people's fpet ard hands it was
hardly to be exneot'ii that he wnu'd
arouse any unqiienr hahle heat In their
heart. A hunch of Icicles Is not the
most Inspiring thins In the world to
play to. unless thpy he hanging In pic
turesque, silvery drops In the mouth of
a gigantic, awe-inaplrlng cave. Seated
In bard, unromantic rows In a baby-blue-and-whlte,

tors struggling vainly Inside, they
are about as Inspiring as a pile of rail
road ties.
And yet Mr. Hartmann overcame tha
difficulty as few could. Probably ha
was not quite congealed in spite of the
draught which he said blew across the
stage, for he was working; hard. It Is
all nonHense to suppose that because
a man In a ceniua and Dlavs the violin
as If the gods had taken command of
nis ringers, it is not work for him.
One of the blar pianists I forget whom
said that genius is work, the ability
10 worn ana work till results come.
And Mr. Hartmann's playing Is work-
work or the past and work In the pros
ent, but he Is a master workman. And
mat is the helKht of art.
His program last night was a rare
one. Introducing leas of the hackneyed
things than has any other violinist
heard h're in a long; time. 1 believe
his work in the Mendelssohn concerto
was his best that was before the chill
in the audiencee had Imparted Itself to
him or before the audience had given
uu an nupe i gemng warm. A npien
did, big, resonant tone, a strong, sweep
lng touch, and firm fingering and bow
lng made it a fins big conception. It
involuntarily brought to mind compari
son with Kubelik's highly polished work,
and .the difference between the over-
rerinea Tennyson and the virile mes
sage throbbing Browning naturally sug
gested itself.
Hartmann speaks in big phrases,
roua-ht hewn and yet finlshei The
adagio movement was distinctly beau
tiful and endowed with rich melody. The
presto work sparkled with brilliancy
and was played with a convincing dash.
The Bach fugue for violin alone was
a difficult piece of work and perhaps
the most showy from point of technic.
The other numbers were of the Hunter
school and showed the Incomparable
delicacy of his work. Hia own arrange
ment of a Debuseey "number, "II pleura
dans mon coeur," was exquisite. A
oeautiiui air dv uommark had a good
deal of the folk song flavor and was
played with warm feeling. The Zar-
zyckL maxurka was charming with a
capricious working in of the. plucked
strings, nis own composition, ' a map
sodie, "Eljen," was on his program when
be last played here and had a good deal
of the, Hungarian dash. The .Sauret
farr&Ila." was a brilliant niece of wnrlr
His other number was a. dainty bar
carolle by Tschalkownky. His encores
were all of the beautiful, singing tvpe.
Dowell's "To a "Wild. Rose." a. Mae-
Do well lullaby nd Salnt-Saen's "pel-
Airrea caisin was the olanlst-and he
made a- satisfactory accomnanlBt. In
addition lie played the G- minor sonata
of Schumann, a Jonas toccata' and a
Llst rhapsody. The last he played

completely captured the ' house. - The

Farmer Takes His Rest In a Contrary
Manner To Most City People.
L. T. Cooper, who is explaining his
theory and medicine to the public, is
meeting more people each day and
seems to be attracting as much atten
tion here aa was ranorted from nthor
cities before he arrived la New York.
Cooper's theory la that modern ail
ments are largely due to stomach trou-
uie. iia claims nis preparation will
regulate the digestive organs In six
weeks In explaining his theory, when
Interviewed Wednesday afternoon, he
said: "About three out of five people
who come to ask about my medicine
say, 'My nerves are all unstrung , or.
i I am very nervous, or, 'I am on the
verge of nervous prostration.' All this
nervous trouble is due to just one thine
Imperfect digestion. ' .
"Did you ever hear of a farmer with
nervous prostration T I never did. . The
farmer gets up early. Out he goes Into
fpe fresh air to put In a day work
that, would lay most people up for a
week. At noon the dinner horn blows.
He has worked his body so hard that
his stomach Is Just shouting for food,
and you can bet It gets it. The amount
of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, bread,
pie. milk, etc., that he puts away Is a
strht to see. Back - he goea to,-the
field More hard work in the fresh
air -and sunshine. Home at night with
the same enormous appetite. A big
supper and then . ha aleepav. as though
chloroformed. No restless tossing all
night. Any nervous - nroatration rvtr
hlmt WelL I guess not. He doesn't
feel dull and languid all day. He doesn't
have a coated tongtfe and a bad taste
in his mouth. He's livlna tha life that
nature intended-him to lye and his
digestion-is perfect. That's the senret
n-hlg digestion Is perfect. "VVueneveY a
man is digesting his food he's a' well
man. But until the digestive organs
are In perfect condition, good health Is
absolutely Impossible. .
"A tired, overworked stomach, mra-
dllced bv veara of little mi tdnnr kvois.
else and too much hastily eaten foodl
can cause an endless amount of ail-J
menis, among tnem being liver com-
pmint, maney trouble, nervous break
down blood trouble, and even rheuma
tism." Among a number of New Yorkers who
have recently stated that Cooper had
convinced them his medicines would do
what he claims Is Mrs. ML E. Bell, of
newieii, ju i., wno, wnen seen about
the matter, said: "For tha nut four
years I have been 111 with catarrh of
tne atomacn. My reet and ankles have
been so badly swollen that I could not
walk any distance. I have tried In
every way to find something that would
benefit me. but I had begun to think
that It was hopeless, as I was getting
slow! y worse.
"Three weeks ago . last Saturday ' 1
started taking this Cooper medicine, as
I had been hearing a lot about It from
friends. Within a week all swelling
had left my feet and ankles, and I
could - walk again as I did four years
ago. My improvement In every way Is
mora than I dared hope. : I have no gas
on my . stomach, sleep well, have a
hearty appetite, and feel as well as I
ever did in my life."
