STRAY TOPICS FRORi OLD HEW YORK Here ; and , There, a ' Story ' From the Metropolis That Shows It Is Most Metro politan Thing, in-' the United States. t : " lrxrfal rtlanatah t. Th.

J unavoidable that It brought a few men into prominence who otherwise would - nevsr have, been beard of. - There ia, i for instance, that inauppreanible man .Hobson. His war record is undoubted ly meritorious, but it seems that it did ;not agree with Hobson to be suddenly : Placed in the limelight It created an , Insatiable thirst for "raore. glory" in .Hobuon and. as there was' nor further (Opportunity to win glory, the ambitious , lieutenant sougni at least noiorioty. Ever since that tints he has broken out into . the red light of notoriety from ! time to time until be became somewhat or a nuisance. - No matter what happens, be It the birth of a two headed calf or the found ing of a new sect, a government scanoai ' in France or a "two for" revolution in ' one' of the Spanish-American republics, ' Hobuon -hair, lomcthltit to sav about it and the. press, always ready to exploit : freaks, gives him ample opportunity for the desired publicity. His latest con tribution or rather his latest bid for notoriety, the nromulratlon of his won derful plan, for the reorganisation of tne American navy, nas Deen auiy re corded and forgotten and soon Hobson will find some other way of breaking - into the newspapers. It is to be re gretted that there is no adequate way of suppressing self appointed censors, critics and reformers jot the Hobson, Carrie Nation and Anthony Comstoek type. -"Chloroform might do, but it is rather expensive to-be used, in suffi cient quantity. Comrtook's Bebuk. The would-be-saintly Anthony Corn stock was sat on hard by Magistrate Corrlgan the other day. but he is used to such experiences and has become 'callous (o the most scornful rebukes. Comstoek had arrested a man because he had sold a small reproduction or palottng by a famous Italian artist, representing a nude woman resting upon a couch. Magistrate Corrisran acquitted the prisoner and rebuked Mr. Comstoek for having arrested- the dealer. "From Mr. Comstock's action," said the magis trate "one would believe that When he ' takes a bath It shocks him to look at himself .-bereft of clothes." Dr.. Lyman Abbott Is a strong advo cate of football as a developer of man liness and courage. In a sermon to 'Yale students the other day, he said, among other things, "You can't develop manly courage without facing real 'perils and it is worth all it costs if It Is necessary In order to get that 'courage. "By real perils" he meant the perils of the gridiron. Perhaps the learned gentleman J right, but would1 '4t not -do to use a milder and less deadly mithod ' to develoo courage among- the .eoHe-ff Students? Would it not doT to put the young men to work in a dyna mite factory, a coal mine under trust management or, a submarine boat? MnslOiSnd Quarrels. The musical 'profession seems to be a great deal more strenuous than most people- imagine: There are alwayi flights and quarrels mong the itausi cinns and ' Others connected with the profession. The Metropolitan Opera house has been the scene of many a battle royal between the musicians, tho singers, the managers and the stage employes and scarcely a week passes without some little unpleasantness tvlthln that temple of musical art The . musical and perhaps racial antagonism between the representatives oft German and those of Italian music has been ' the cause of a great deal of trouble at the Metropolitan. The last tilt took t ace a few days ago and ended with the victory of Italian opera as repre sented by uattt-uasaxxa, now tne sole managing director of the house. The Germans, represented by Herr Dippel, were worsted mot wursiea j. Some of the society swells among the regular patrons or the Metropolitan have expressed the apprehension that .this victory of the hyphenated manager would mean the complete abandonment of Gorman opera- at the Metropolitan. .That would Indeed mean a great loss, but not to the social set occupying the boxes, but to the musical people in the (top galleries. As to the exclusive set in , the' boxes, they do not care a rap for Wagner. They would much rather Jlsten to ragtime music If it were sung by high salaried singers of international fame, or, still better, of international .notoriety. f" Wins a Diamond. Some persons have the most wonder ful, almost Indecent luck. They fall into a sewer and are pulled out with a gold watch and chain in their mouth; they are laughed at because they bought "some apparently worthless stock for 30 cents a share and a few days later tne same stocK leaps up to tu a snare. TTo that class of favorites of Dame For tune evidently belongs the shop girl who was robbed of her week's wages, amounting to $10 th. other day, while she was riding home on the B. R. T. Strange to say, the girl carried her .wealth in a pocket In the lower part of 'her dress. When she reached home she found the pocketbook with the $10 gone and in its place a big $200 diamond, which had dropped out of the thlefs xlruK. while be was picking; the girl's pocket The recent dea'tb by suffocation of two young sisters in a poor lodging house of the East Side was surrounded ' by unusually pathetic features. The two girls, one. 17, the other 19 years fild, came to the United States from Russia to 'make a living for themselves and, eventually, to prepare the way for the emigration of the other members of their family from Russia.' All day they worked -In a sweatshop and at night they studied English and other things. Var themselves thev spent only enousrh of their meager earnings to- keep them alive; the rest they placed in a savings bank, with a view of sending; for their folk when their hoard had grown to adequate proportions. Eagerly ' they awaited the time when they could bring about the reunion of the family and at last they had saved enough for that purpose. They had written a letter to helr parents in Moscow, in which they informed them that the money for their Journey was ready. It was their in tention to s6-time, the letter that it would- reach their parents at Christmas. The letter was never sent The other "night one of the girls, before going to bed. accidentally -turned on the gas in their room and when they were .found ia the morning both girls were dead.

But after all is it pot natural when a composer Is giving all his best efforts to a certain work that It should be uppermost in his mind, and being so, that he should speak of it T And speaking of It the world will hear of It, for in these days when things happen merely to oblige the newspapers, reporters hear of things almost before they are spoken of. LONDON NEWS OF Arthur Alexander The following clipping from the Mu sical Courier, written by the London correspondent, A. T. King, will be of lo cal Interest. There are many who fol low Mr. Alexander's career with Inter est and Portland feels that he is her own son "making good:" "Arthur Alexander. an American tenor, who was heard here last year, gave a recital at Aeolian hall last Fri day evening. That Mr. Alexander Is also an accomplished pianist was shown by his playing of his own accompani ments, which gave an additional charm to his Tendering of his program. The program was well .arranged to show the versatility of this singer. 'Where'er You Walk." 'Caro Mio Ben,rand 'Una Fur. tlva Lagrlma' for the first group, then von Fielitz's cycle of ten songs, 'Eil- Jand'-. a group of five French songs fol lowed, and there were four English ones to end the TrecitaL The critic of the Daily Telegraph said: HIs beautiful voice has gained greatly In color as well as in strength, and this, combined with- amaslng breath control and a high sense of phrasing, make him a most interesting singer.' ' The Referee critic was equally complimentary: Mr. Alex ander, an American tenor, who delighted bis audience by the fine quality of his voice and artistic interpretation of a collection of songs by various com posers, with whose intentions he always seemed to be in sympathy.' During the past few weeks Mr. Alexander has sung at many private muslcales, and has some important bookings for the winter and summer. With the new Symphony orchestra he will sing the tentfr part In Berlioi" Te Deum,' and goes to Paris with the orchestra to sing in Bantock's Omar Khayyam,' the first Dart of which is to be given there. In June. whenJ ineiius- saw or uh is produced for the first time, Mr. Alexander la to take part. The new year will bo an im portant one for this singer, for early in January he la to be married to a young lady , from Portland, Or. The honey moon is to be spent In the south of France." T M ISS BRANSCOMBE In Composer's Recital 9 Ml ri i ., , 4 one's optimistic nature good. To t-e sure, the audience is so much made m of people who do not often have op portunity to attend concerts that they have noiyet learned the value of si lence. But even -that-you ran br with patience when you recall that these concerts are educational and thnt they are the first lessons to many of the auditors. , ' The orchestra of 105 pieces Is com posed almost entirety of amateur play ers and many of them have never be fore this year played in an orchestra. Thus It is a vital good to them. But the work does not sound distinctly am ateurish. Mr. Spltmer possesses the quality of being able to get the best Out of his young players. More thurv that he does not essay anything that Is - beyond them. -The programs - are good, but modest Last, week's pro- fram ' was well played from beginning a end. There were plenty of encores called for. A laudtbte feature was the cutting down of the number of solo ists. Usually an Instructor cannot re sist the temptation to Introduce as so loists on such a program all who are able to squeak an air unsupported. f This year Mr. Spltsner presented two only Miss Velross Sharp and Miss Nina Nicklin. The latter has given solos at a number of these concerts and ia a clever young girl. Miss Sharp shows marked ability. The accompanists were Miss Dorothy Frazer and Miss Alicia MacElroy. . , Miss Oena Branscombe, head of the piano department in the Whitman Con servator of Music and a composer whose compositions have been recognised by the best musicians of the country, gave a composer's recital to a crowded house In the 'college chapel Friday evening. She was assisted by Professor A. C. Jackson baritone. Miss Nina Markley at the pipe organ. Professor Roy Wil liams on the violin and Mrs. Henri Appy, soprano. This was the first recital of its kind ever given In this city and was one of the best ever heard In Walla Walla Miss Branscombe has shown good taste In the selection of the poems which she has set to music. She has gone to the Brownings for some of her best, such as "Marching Along." from the Cavalier Tunes," and the song cycle, "Love In a Life," from tho Portuguese sonnets. Miss Brans combe has also written her own words. One of the most charming numbers of Friday night's program was "March Suisse," written only last summer on the occasion of Miss Branscombe's visit to Zurich, Switzerland, on the eve of a great national festival. "March Suisse" Is a trio for pipe organ, violin and piano, and was rendered with charming grace and effectiveness. SPITZNER ORCHESTRA Gives Good Concert Last Sunday afternoon the Spltsner Philharmonic orchestra gave the first concert of this season at the Heillg and there was a crowded and pleasant house. It is certainly a pleasure to attend these concerts under Mr. Spitz ner's direction. There Is something so sincere, so whole souled and so unpre tentious about them that they really do XTEW SINGING CLUB IN Organizes for Work 3 A new men's chorus which should bring forth some good work was formed at the Unitarian club last Sun day. The organization was affected and the work of drawing up the rules and electing the officers was left with the board of directors consisting of Sidney O. Lsthrop, Harry W. Hogue, Henry Teal, Edward L. Bayly and V. S. Pierce. The club Is similar to one that existed two years ago under the direction of Arthur L. Alexander and largely at his instigation.

Lathrop, Frank B. Riley and Louis P. Bruce. The plans of this club ars more ambi tious than In most clubs.

' The officers selected are as follows: President. Harry W. Hogue; vice presi dent, Edward L. Bayly; secretary, Syd ney G. Lathrop; librarian, F.. S. Pierce; treasurer.
