MUSIC AS A
Condition of the Calling in the United States
and England.
Sir John Stainer Advises People to Keep Out of It Small Rewards for Most
J English Musicians Many Disappointments Here Also
! r The Field Overcrowded.
Sir John Elslner is shortly to reeign
his place as professor of muelc In the
University- of Oxford, -which he has
held for more than ten years. His
decision has not attracted nearly so
much attention as .his ternaries on the
subject as a profession in 'England to
day. Some of his opinions have been
cent to this country. The composer s
statistics are discouraging enousrh. In
spite of England's great increase lit J
mut-ical taste, he says,, the profession
is so ivercrowded today that support

much more rapidly than the demand
for their; work, and unqualified per

fcr no better reason than their liking
for the prof er felon. Americans ar
familial j to some extent with the
slight vocal equipment considered nec
essary fr a singer in England. ' Men
and women ktodly oblige" in draw
ing rooms when they are all but voice
less. Passengers on the transatlantic
steamers have felt a sort ' cf synpa
thetic embarrassment when men and
women got up to sing ''and were
scarcely audible half iway across the
cabin, j Yet, according to the English
standard, th-e performers weie sing- I
ers and felt not the least abashed j
themselves. One of the mot-t popular j
English luilemue actroM-e has so lit-
tie voice that she weuld prebably be:
laughed at 1-ere if she tried to sinir, .
however she might be applauded in
other respects. The English ldt-a of
what a v Ice is need hot be described
here i It is sufficient to say that It
would never, be accepted in the Unite!
mates. Sir John Stainer gives the best
explanation of one cause of the great
superfluity of Fngllh musicians in
these words-
"A youth who is fend of music per
haps has composed one or tw. di aw
ing room ballads, and his friends of
count? rapturously applaud thitn. Ha
is flattered into the belief that he is a
born com peter, and vhe resolves to
seek fame and fortune by h's muMcal
talent. Why, there are hardly half a
dozen ccmpeer in England who can
live by writing music. . Or, a young
felow has a tolerably good voice, and
at local concert gent-ra'ty stt an en
core, i Hi gool-n.iture 1 friend assure
him on all hand lhat hi." vocal powers
are something quite out cf the com
mon, and that he really ought t! be In
the profession. And mind you, 1? a
young man has e really good voice it
will nl ways be a llvirg for him. You
may stale that unhesitatingly."
As the singers with really ts od voic
es aie likely to succeed, it will be seen
that it is the English conception of
what a tr d voice is that has led so
great an excess of person Into the
prcfesiion. Out lor 15.000 v Ices which
he tested Sir John s.ild th;it not ir.ote

to earn an it: ing teyoml a modest liv

It may be said that few women
would lake this advice after they had
been praised by their frien-ls and fam

in search of pupils would ever five it

A TRADE IN WAR MEDALS.
Various Ways in Which They Are
Disposed of and Their Uses.
War medals, mostly won at the cost
of peril and privation, are pawned by
possessors and never redeemed, or are
sent to the hammer by needy relatives
on the decease of -the veterans. It
may be here noted that no man on
the army active strength Is allowed to
pledge his medals. As Is well known,
war decorations that pass by the
means stated, and otherwise. Into com
merce are eagerly purchased by deal
ers, who dispose of them to museums;
also to private collectors ot every
grade, from American millionaires to
British publicans.
These disks of silver, especially
those awarded for modern campaigns,
from the Crimean war. downward, are
occasionally put by dealers to novel
usj. By the aid of a blowpipe the In
scription on the edge can be filled with
silver, when the surface, if need be.
is ready for re-engraving. Doctoring
of tlw name, rank and regiment by the
method mentioned is common in the
tntl. So It may be that the virtuoso
who imagine he possesses & memento
of the late gallant Gen. Fits Carnage.
K. C. B-, who distinguished himself at
Balaklavs, would be shocked if ha
ki.ew tirat his pet curio is a fraud, and
that it belonged to old Tommy At
kins, of he Onety-onety Foot, wao
pawned tt before he retired into the
workhouse to die. .
Again, officers serving or retired
sometimes lose their medals, or have
them feloniously annexed. Sooner
than go through, the war office red
tape min to procure duplicates -relet-tered
medals re obtained from deal
ers. Mendicants get hold of medals in
order to exhibit them to credulous
folks, and thus extract a more liberal
alms. War decoration are also oc
casionally sported . by one-armel cr
single-kgged organ-grinders. Such
gentry warrant themselves to be Brit
ish, and plead for patronage as a mat
ter of national sentiment and as rp
posed to the claims of the Saffron Hill
musical contingent of invaders. These
me1l-dis playing humbugs are seldom
ex-stldlers, far less have they been
disabled in active service. They are
at times considerably "out in respect
of a bit .of medal ribbon shown, for
Instance, an organ-grinder of about
five-and-twenty years of age was ob

that any attempt to cut them would

er plan of similar nature bated on the
use of compresied air has been work

the vaults or cells are steel tubes spac

The tubes contain in IheJr Interior

SECRETARY ALGER AND THE
SPARROWS.
By direction o the secretary of
war, the1 sparrow's nest and contents
then of. located on tLe east portico of
the war department, shall not be re
moved, molested, or approached unrrl
further notification.
Such was the substance of an order
promulgated by Secretary Alger Just
before his recent deifirt are from
Washington for a three Week's sojourn
in thie West. .
During the spring the sparrows have
a habit of building their nest in the
crevices ot the state, war, and navy
building. One particular bold bird In
vaded the portico in front of the sec
retary's oliice and built a nest in the
folds of the awning. The sun rhade
temained closed for a number of
weeks, and the mother bird ar.d her
family were progTessing nicely, ,,w hen
t hot day caused the secretary to or
der the awning lowered.
As one of the -me ssengers let the cov

half-fledged sparrows fell to the stun

the messenger to place the nest in one
of the cool corners and rehouie the

Gov. T. T. Crt-ar, accoinnanieJ by his

having enjoyed an extremely pleasant

greeted Oregon's war-tried eteian

spent the day with their near relatives
from whom they had so long- been
aepajrased. They took dinner with
Captain Worries; and Lieutenant Mur
phy. .
On the following; day the boys land-
el and Mr. Johnson says the reception
the boys mere accorded was simply
grand. He expressed himself unable
to find words adequate in their, mean
ing- to fittingly express the demonstra
tion. He says the Californlans did
themselves proud. The troops marched
directly to "the Presidio where they
were assigned Quarters. The Salem-
IteS obtained leaves of absence1 for
their soldier boys whom they escorted
to the city during- the afternoon and
regaled at banquets and sightseeing
until Saturday afternoon shortly be
fore they started for Salem.
The health of the boys is reported
generally good by Mr. Johnson, but
"Bert Low is quite seriously ill In the
hospital. lie was first stricken with
diphtheria but other complications
have set in. The boys all appear thin
and fagged out but are strong and
hearty. They are not so badly tanned
as Mr. Johnson had expected to find
them. I i
Asked as to what the boys thought
of the criticism they were being sub
jected to by a small representation of
their native state, for desiring to be
mustered out In San Francisco, Mr.
Johnson said the volunteers thought It
was asking, too much of them to re
quest that they sacrifice their travel
pay, which means an actual profit ol
about $25 per man. The average vol
unteer has saved nothing- from his1
meagre earnings as a private and he
will need every cent that Is available
In order to begin life anew. Speaking
for the Salem, or rather Marlon county
companies, Mr. Johnson says they do
not crave, receptions, banquets, etc
but, on the contrary, are desirous of
got ting home as soon ss possible.
While they will enjoy being received
by their friends a home, the boys, do
not desire to go to Portland. , or In
fact any other place, to be tendered
receptions at the hands of people with
whom they are personally unacquaint
ed. Justice Johnson says he does not
believe the volunteers can be mustered
out and returned to their homes with
in less; time than four weeks. One of
the Portland companies brought over
with' them a real, live curio a young
Filipino, aged about 10 years, who has
been adopted as company mascot. The
importation is as ugly as his skin Is
dark, but the boys are proud of him
and see to It that he knows no want,
having purchased for him an entire
outfit of citizens' clothing. Mr. John
son happened to be on the first section
of the overland train and did not ex
perience the wreck in California, al
though his section did run over and
kill a man, whose name was ' not ob
tained, at Gold Hill. The good natur-
ed 'squire was presented a -box of gen
uine Manila Perfectos by his , son
Jlaude, and he was very generous In
his distribution of the choice clears
among his friends. The writer can at

George P- Litchfield yesterday re
