THE GOWNSMAN

A I'lca for Old -Time .Music
QU2LD0M has the Gownsman atteuded
J a concert which gavo him such un
qualified pleasure as that which was
In! ,f week to commemorate the
JOOth nnnlvorsary of the foundation of
our Philadelphia Musical Fund Society.
The nature and beneficent activities of
this famous old association arc too
well known to lovers of music to need
any recital here. Hut the nature of
this particular concert, reviving as It
did In many of the rider gc. "ration de
lightful memories of a simpler and
dare we say It? a wholcsomer past,
these are thlngB which caunot be let
pais by without word.
rnllL entertainment of last week was ,
called "n ,.7cnny Llnd Concert." I
nnd it purported to represent In revival
not only the nctual program of one of
the concerts of that sweet singer of he
loved memory, hut to show us on the
stage in the habit hi which they lived,
and more, in the concord of sweet sound
which enqh produced, not only Jenny
Llnd herself, but Olc Hull, the superb
old wizard of the viollu, and the great
tenor, Signor Mario, ns well. It was
fitting that tho grand orchestra of up
word of thirty pieces should be directed
by Slgnor Max Htrakosch.-notablo leader
and, impresario, and that the whole
shmild bo preceded as was eu.stomaiy
In the frank old days by one of thoe
eloquent nnd flamboyant speeches of
mingled wit, simplicity and boastfulncss
which made famous tho name of 1. T. ,
Harnum, prince of all exploiters, under '
whoso "solo management" everything .

AN EFKOUT of such daring nnd
pleasantry might rcndily have de
genctated into burlesque or wovso: but.
sustained' ns it all was with tcrltable
artistry, it mny well he doubted

I'T there is something moie. Old
re older folks eujoy this old-time
concert alone for its intrinsic musical
excellence or for the memories which
ister in the minds of man of us as to
oncerts in tills fnmoiii Musienl
Fund Hull? Or is there even beyond
this a something in the simpler, home
lier, more frankly sentinicntnl music of
our grandfathers which deserves a more
respectful memory than it habitually
rei-ehcs? The custom of patronizing
granddad ban been honored in the gen
erations of the young time out of mind.
And granddad? Well, granddad is,
after nil. only granddad. Itut it is n
perilous business to fall in our tenses
hopelessly into the past ; for there nre
few of us who like thus to become per

growth of a taste for music among us.
The devoted work of n small group of.
music lovers here in Philadelphia, who
hae persisted in their devotion, de

possibly give it. Without them there
would be now neither music of n worthy
kind to listen to nor auditors to hear it.

THE RICH MAN'S PHILOSOPHY
THE benign philanlhrop of Nathan
Straus was neer none admirably
illustrated than in Ins announ. ement
that It Is his ambition to die poor in
Txprldly goods but '-ric
nnd In good works
This phllosopln is coming to be more
and more accepted by the rich men of
31.
this country, but Mr. Straus has- nn
;dvautage over some of thcni in that
'his entire business life has been (on
ductfd on the high phlhiutliropic nnd
generous principles which characterize
hi recent utteiance. Not nil of out
philanthropists can approach the work
of aiding' others with hands so clean.
Mr, Straus quoted a Hebrew proverb:
'What joii give Iu health Is gold : what
you rIto Jn sickness is silver, what you
fire after death Is iron, More nnd

The antiquated fei ry system remains
in the way of Camden's development,

that has only an incidental relation to

maintained as one of n series of inter- .
in liappiuoss I locking machines upon which political '
i leaders depend for control of the state. '
I What the larger machine really stands ;
' for is fairly apparent in the Kuehnle
j victory, in n public service commission '
! under' fire and in a political party drift- '
ing to a dangerous split.
A rensserllou of the independent po
litical sentiment which, before now, has
brought about wholesome revolutions in
Camden politics will come before long
