There Is something In th! slave music that touches the common heart of msn. Everywhere that It has been heard this mtislo has awakened a response chord In the minds and hearts of those who heard It. Antonln Dvorak, the eminent Bo hemian composer, who lived for sev eral vears In this country. In his ad mirable symphony, "From the New World." used several themes taken from- these negro folk songs. R Coleridge-Taylor, the well-known colored composer of England, has used this music for many of his best known piano compositions. Edward Everett Hale once said It was the only Ameri can music.

Especially abundant Is this docu mentary data In the archives 'allotted to the Presidents of the nation, for It Is a law of the land that all who live In the White Hou-e must submit all papers and documents written and received during their term of offico to the Government upon departure. As a result of some Investigation It has been brought to light that Wash Ington, the stern old statesman and warrior, besides being a commander of the highest order, was a lover of music. An indication of this Is found In the numerous notations among his papers of money spent on concert tickets. The era In which Washington held the highest offl e of the land was perhaps the m--t most trying and parlous In the nation's history Trob lems that had taken centuries for other nations to solve had to be met by him nnd overcome by hltn In less than half a score of years. How well he did his duty a nation's honor and gratitude have proved.

The tenor announced on coming to the of fice that he not only wanted to make out his papers, but to pay his tax forthwith. As the tax need not be paid until June, Collector Edwards was somewhat surprised at the eager ness of the tenor to settle with the Government, but put his forces at his disposal to assist ln preparing the necessary affidavits. As Mr. Caruso was very frank about his earnings and showed no dispo sition to evade any of his taxes, an occurrence not Infrequent !n the of fice, the matter was settled ln a very short tlm, and a check for $53,000 was turned over to the collector. Caruso's Income In this country Is derived about equally from hla fifty performances each season on ew York's opera stage and from the sales of his talking-machine records, on which he receives a royalty of 10 per cent. The tenor's nightly salary at the Metropolitan is said to be $2,500, and his totnl for a season $125,000. with an equal sum from his records. The figures for his tax.
