Schumann, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Cho pin and Liszt, their lives and their work, were sketched by Miss Estella Neuhaus at the second of her scries of lecture-recitals at the home of Mrs. Hugh McGowan yes terday afternoon. The audience, which was larger than Miss Neuhaus's first, found the recital a pleasantly instructive enter tainment for a summer afternoon. Miss Neuhaus shattered no Idols it was not her purpose to make her lecture other than, as she said, synthetical. She told how Schu mann failed to build a great fame for him self because he lacked the material of technical ability. Many of his composi tions are too difficult for the usually dex terous performer. But he was a fine, good humored poet and, as in the sonata Opus 22. which Miss Neuhaus played, his work abounds in beautiful phrases and harmo nies. Chopin was melancholy, but not morbid ly sentimental. Miss Neuhaus said. lie wrote some compositions too heavy for him. with his frail physique, to play satis factorily to himself. Certainly his polo-nal-s are not indicative of a weak per sonality. Miss Neuhaus played one of the ballades and two movements of the second concerto. Of Schubert she said that it was remarkable how much work he did in his few years. He. died when he was thirty one and left 1,100 compositions, more than naif of which are songs. He was clear mlndtd. sympathetic and had a high dra matic sense. To illustrate Mendelssohn's refined, fanciful method Miss Neuhaus played an extract from "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Presuming that Miss Neuhaus Is an ad mirer of Liszt, it may be said that she stated the merit of the "Abbe" in the con ventional Li.sztian style. He was an un rivaled virtuoso, a noble, generous man, a great friend of Wagner. She played one of his "Legends" and so showed, as the Liszt admirer always shows, that the noble, gen erous man was, so far as popular acquaint ance with him goes, lacking in thj lmpulso that does good and gets the admiration of virile minds. The selection was "St. Francis and the Birds." Miss Neuhaus told the story. It seems that St. Francis thought it would be a stroke of enterprise to tell the birds to whom they owed food, water and air to fly about in, and. incidentally, to warn them against the sin of ingratitude. The birds gathered around him and he preached to them on the advisability of praising their Maker constantly. When he had finished the birds set up songs of laudation and flew away, north, south, east and west, to carry the tidings. Liszt's tone narrative is almost Identical with Wagner's tritely descriptive style. The birds are represented by soprano tweedling and St. Francis comes In heavy, organ-like chords. The effect makes it clear that St. Francis might have been spending his energy to much more profita ble purpose. Birds always have been of regular habits, sweet-tempered, minding their own business, while men. in St. Fran cis's time as well as In the present need wnolesome advice, and. furthermore, are engaged in rather more important affairs than picking up insects and flying about through the air. But if a man. whether a musician or not. tn entirely concerned in exhibiting his own startling personality, he has little time or ability to devote to his proper share in the world's work. Mies Neuhaus played the Lizst number with unusual skill in the delicate frilling. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Miss Blanche Laycock is in Delphi, where she is visiting friends. Mrs. James Noel and sister.

The set-back which the auditor received by the decision of the Supreme Court that he had no right to compel the company to permit him to examine its books at call, does not discourage him in the least. "The decision of the court." he says, "was based on a defect in the law; a failure to set out the purport of the act in the title, and not on any idea that it would not be just and right for the companies to submit to such an examination as I contemplated."

The nominee made a short ad dress, which followed closely the lines of the state platform. Griffith Is fifty-two years old, and represented Dearborn, Ohio and Switzerland counties in the State Sen ate. He was a candidate for attorney gen eral in ISO, and was elected to Congress by a special election in 1897 to succeed W. H. Holman.
