VOLNST'S SOUL
PASSES AWAY WITH
STRANS OF MUSIC
(tmited Press Uued Wire.)
San Francisco, Aug. II. While a
crowd of fashionably attired after the
atre dinera at Techau Tavern applauded
Paul Schmidt, firat violinist with Gyp-
st Rlgo, last night for his brilliant ren
dition of a wild Hungarian melody he
had Just finished playing, . the bow
dropped from the musician's ; fingers
and he fell to the floor dead. A sud
den attack, of heart failure had ended
his life. - '
When Schmidt stepped forward at
midnight to play a waits he was seen
to sway slightly. . The firat notes came
alowly. Then tha man, already sTTIck
en, bowed his head, took a fiuier grip
on hla instrument and the violin poured
forth harmony which caused his audi
tors to cease . their laughter and turn
to listen to the exquisite strains.
Bv the time the-selection had been
fairly . started not a sound in the-big
the
ng ball could be heard other than
throbblhg - notes of the violinist's
dining hall
death song. He played as he" had never
played before in Techau Tavern.
His eyes half closed, the man threw
his passing soul into his music When
the last weird chords, came sighing
irom tne instrument, tears, or emotion
could be seen in women's eyes and the
men sat silent. With the conclusion
of the solo there was a momentary
pause, thfcn-the whole house reverber
ates with 'appreciative applause.
Schmidt, with forced smile, bowed a
slight acknowledgment of these man!
testations. Then he staggered, and the
bow - dropped to the floor, followed by
tne cresn or tne vionn. j-ie clutched
at his breast and' then slid quietly to
the floor Dy the sine or his broken in.
strument .'.-
' Before a ' physician could ' reach- his
side Schmidt was lead. He -was 14
years old and a native of Hungary. .
