grim necessity was knocking at the door

I am due. That It is the time for me to

Mrs. Melbourne MacDowell, realized that
fact some time ago.. She told me, 'You

you completely overshadow the star.* At

The "Welsh contingent of the United

which assures a musical festival of strong
artistic merit. There Is a native institu
tion In Oakland, ; under , the direction
cf that genial . Welshman, D. P.
Hughes, that I think would stand an
excellent chance in the female chorus
competition. I refer to the Hughes Club,
a large chorus that has been studying
faithfully under Mr. Hughes' leadership
for some three years now and from which
I have heard some exceedingly good work.
I don't know that It would be possible to
«xport the club to BuSalp, but I am quite
willing to venture a prophecy as to Its
euccess when it got there. If any. club or
singer among the "Taffies'. 1 of California

Wales, the harp, will not be neglected,
and, even more important," that, that

Some two or three Stfndays ago' the park

that were' rather' unusual' in point of inter

standpoint. The . students ¦ aforesaid

Calif ornian girl, well known as a won
der-chlld here through a number of pub
lic performances. She Is about 13 years
of age and for her years has an extraor
dinary repertoire, technique and matur
ity of conception. Miss Stencel left her
native State for Europe some few months
ago. with no. very definite Intentions
either as to study or concert work, but it
Is now decided that she will concertize all
over the Continent during next season. In
the meantime she has-been received with
extraordinary -favor both In Vienna and
Budapest, where ehe appeared on both
occasions with the famous Philharmonic
Orchestra of Vienna.
In November the little Californian pi
anist will make her Berlin debut, with
the Philharmonic Orchestra there, in one
of the many concertos that she already
Includes in her repertoire. She played at
the Austrian court in January last,, and

present.

with a paragraph that told how the writer

Annie (everybody calls her Annie, and
that, by the way. Is the only illusion she
left me) cooks her own dinner, makes her
own clothes and, like a "very gt)od and
prosaic wife, darns the socks. of the "best

. The fortunate individual whom Annie
promised many years ago*o love and
honor is Harry Myers, a gentleman of the

loved and wed they were both

A London paper is responsible for the
following profane and perfect gem:
Apropos of- Mrs. Alma Webster Powell's
recent article on the music student in Ger
many, the following- statistics on the sub
ject, culled from The Concert-Goer, will
be of worth:
It is 'estimated that, 12,400 musical students
are studying at th/ present time in Germany.
Of this number 20 per cent are foreigners and
5 per cent Americans; 40 per cent of them are
vocal students.- 32 per cent orchestra, organ and
solo string aspirants, 25 per cent study the
pianoforte and 3 per cent composing. The
average student spends 16C0 marks ($400) each
yeer for living expenses and tuition, although
some lK-e on 900 marks— (J225)— including tui
tion. . The average period of each . student is
three years. All of the students of the or
tfhestra find Immediate and paying occupation,
wherever they settle. The pianoforte students
have a hard struggle to obtain a footing and
22- per cent settle as teachers /with varied but
comfortable income. Of the vocal students
(40 per cent) 8 per cent find engagements at
the ODera with an average income • of 1200
marks ($300) per year. 2 per cent find recogni
tion as concert singers through their merits
and 12 per cent through a reserve fund for
advertising purposes. | Twenty per cent of them
cannot be traced and are lost In obscurity, g Of
the 12,400 students 67 per cent are female; 84
per cent study in conservatories and Institu
tions. Of the 4960 singers who enter every year
only a few rise to a high rank and the others
hope for better days.
are Henry Bossert', /a soldier now
stationed at the Presidio," and Emil
A. Bruguiere, both pupils in com
position of Oscar Weil. Mr. Bos-
Bertrs contribution to the programme
was a "march" that he calls "The Roll
of Honor," a musicianly and melodious
composition, distinguished by an excellent
harmonic feeling and a pretty skill in or
chestration. The trio is particularly melo
dious and contains a very clever bit 'of
part -writing/ t - ? ¦• ,
Mr. Bruguiere's number was "Canzon

istic composition. This also is clean and
skillful writing, with' a gratifying native
picturesqueness of Inspiration. Mr. Weil
is to be congratulated on the work of his
pupils, and Conductor Spadina on his sen

WHO HAS MADE A GREAT HIT
IN EUROPE. ¦r-'vj

ar^HE : memorv of a man may suffer more from the acts of his foal disciples than from the
abuse of his enemies. • ¦
Colonel Robert Ingersoll's memory is just now getting punished by some people in
Ohio, who in his name have organized* an agnostic society and pretend to perpetuate the
teachings of the great agnostic. ¦They, have gone about this: by celebrating what they call an ag- I
nostic' marriage, in which the vows were 'conditioned and the tie' was like, that free love union
which was practiced by the followers of Dr. Noyes.- : '- \ . ¦¦'": ....... v . .
There is nothing in 'agnosticism;iiqr in 1 the^eachings of Ingersoll in support of such a pre- :
tended marriage. The laws of all the most civilized nations recognize marriage as a. civil con
tract, dissoluble or enforcible in the courts of /justice. The necessity for such view of the contract
arises in the. concern that third parties may have in it. -Jt affects the descent of -property and
the title of estates.-ahd inheritance and title are matters litigable, for they, concern "property. -.'.
Among the ignorant who call themselves agnostics and rejoice in a heresy which they do '¦
not comprehend, there has grown up the opinion that is back, of this Ohio movement. Such :
people' think that the monogamous marriage is derived from the institution of Christianity,, car
rying Ayith it the indissohible; intent. The fact is that there- is no injunction on the subject
. among the germs of thristianity except Paul's advice that deacons should be sober and discreet
persons and have but one wife. That limitation alone, is evidence that among the early Christians
polygamy prevailed, and : was forbidden only to certain officers of the congregation.
In fact, polygamy was a venerable and deservedly honored institution in its day, for it
. succeeded just such promiscuous, go-as-you-please, catch-as-catch-can association of the sexes as
these Ohio agnostics propose in the ; name ofclngersojjj To the philosophic mind the beginning
of polygamy was the beginning of man's advance in civilization. It meant 'that he differentiated
himself from the beasts that perish! To such mind also the end of polygamy 'marked man's rise
to a still higher civilization, but the advance was not due to any direct, inspired, religious com
- mand. -Early Christians were polygamists and the primitive Christian princes ofEurope\were not
scrupulous as -to; plurality- in the married relation. The early agnostics, of the-, period that in
cludes the first;half-thousand years of the Christian era, were neither more nor less free and loose
in their matrimonial affairs than the civilization of which they- were a part/ *
¦¦¦::¦ -These Ohio folks think they are making a point ,'against Christianity by their, goose and
gander marriage, when they are only flying in the face of that decency which is an attribute of
civilization.. The morals and ethics taught In- Colonel Ingersoll were the morals and ethics of
civilization, and the humanity, the mercy, charity and love which he inculcated were of the high- .
est and "purest rorden His disagreement with the plan of salvation, the fall and atonement, was
almost forgiven by the church because of the .purity of his, morality and his high ascription to'.
.. woman. "Now woman has advanced from the pit /of -promiscuity to the higher plane^of.polyg
amy to stand at last safe on the heights of a monogamous marriage /intended to be indissoluble.
One who is content with a conditional contract declarative not of an intention to be permanent^
but to be temporary, isa fool in her head or a wanton in her heart, .'and I": Ingersoll's ideal woman

ABUSE OF INGERSOLL.
y^^ HIEF W. L. MOORE of the United States Weather Bureau has telegraphed to Mr.
I " .. McAdie of the local bureau 'that Secretary Wilson will authorize the installation of
a wireless telegraph service, between San Francisco and the Farallones, and also at
. other points on the Pacific, Goast, as soon as there is asystem suitable- for installation.
We have then a promise of wireless telegraphy to be in operation in the near. future, for ,
there is at this time no doubt whatever that the Weather. Bureau can find a "suitable system"
almost as it begins to look for it. Wireless telegraphy is in fact no longer an. experiment. We
.recently had occasion to direct* attention to the success achieved with it by the steamship
Lucania in sending messages to various points along the English' coast while the -steamer was
making her way down the channel.^ Several of the messages were -received, and others seht by
the steamer at a time when she was so far at sea that land was not visible. .:••;
The experiments made on trie Lucahia are noted only because they are the latest to which
particular attention has been drawn. As a matter of fact the system is now so well established
that t"he great steamers on the Atlantic have been fitted with the Marconi apparatus, and new'
ships now being, constructed are to have a room designed especially for wireless telegraphing. )
The swift advance of the new method of telegraphing is one of the marvels of the age. It
is; but a short time since the system was the subject of ridicule by; the incredulous. The Call was
the first newspaper in the world to take up the invention and apply it to practical use.. ' That was
done by The Call as a .'part of the arrangements made to , report the coming of the transppft bear
ing the California Volunteers on their return from the Philippines! . The test made* of. the, system
on that occasion was completely . successful, and was undoubtedly the most notable stroke of
'newspaper enterprise ever accomplished on this coast. In fact it was an achievement of world
wide interest and attracted attention ¦everywhere."' ' ¦ ¦_'¦<¦¦
The next notable use of the new system was that made by The Call and the Herald in re- "
porting the- international yacht race. That was a direct result of the success obtained here,, so
that the : New York experiment may be said to have been .brought about by the 'test, at San Fran
cisco. Consequently the credit of leading, in the development of this latest marvel of science be
longs to this city. "\ ' l *~ , ¦' ¦ ;
Rarely has any great invention been met with a greater storm of ridicule. than this. When
The Call accomplished the feat of getting reports across the water from a vessel off the Golden
Gate, and the announcement was made of the means by which it .'was done,.'the Examiner scoffed
and' scouted and flouted for days. It derided the inventor by,calling him "Macaroni."- -Later on
¦when -the system was 1 used by The Call and in reporting the yacht race, it returned to the |
attack and again jeered at the. inventor as well as at the system and The Call: Now. the yellow
journal will at last have to admit that wireless telegraphy is a practical system of dispatching mes-- |
sages; and the chances are it will claim to have been the author of the .whole thing.
The Call having been the. first paper in the world to have faith in the invention, the first
• to make practical use of it, has also been first fn urging the ¦Government : to the system.
between this city and the Farallones. It is therefore with no little satisfaction that it congratu
lates the people on the prospect of the, early ''attainment -of the much desired service: j " j -.j .'"
