Music—What It Does

In the course of his unremitting study of all aspects of human life, a certain journalist chanced one day to be wandering in that quar- ter of the East End of London which is known asthe Hectic Acre; where life ls lived at the greatest possible pace, and where all the sin and folly, and much of the courage and nobility as well, that belongs to the human heart, is found on the surface-apparent to all beholders. I-le chanced to call ~t a small tobacconisUs shop and Xound behind the counter a little

eyes which seemed to see further than the mortal eye can see, and a tired, worn expression of his face, writes S. T. Leonards. As he served the Journaafi’ with what he required, he learned over his coun- ter and, in a whisper which could not quite check the enthusiasm in his tone, asked, "Are you fond of music, sir,"

Astonlshed at the question and, looking at the tradesmen with fresh interest the man who told me the story said he was, and the little man replied, "Come upstairs with me, sir, and you shall hear son-c- thing worth hearing."

With a half-smile at, the absurd- ity of the thing, the Journalist walked behind the counter and, when the tobacconist had handed over the charge of his business to a young assiitant, followed him through a narrow door and up s dark stairway into a sort of stock- joom, littered with cardboard box- es, and bare of furniture. Standing about in a variety of attitudes and regarding one another with that undlsgulsed hostility which English people affect towards others to whom they have not been intro- duced, wos a'n audience of seven people, collected together by the enthusiasm of the little tobaccon- ist in the same haphazard way, and all of them conscious of a suspi- cion that they were being made fools oi. There was an elderly business man of rather bibulous appearance, two young "bloods" of the West End, a middle-aged Frenchwoman, probably the pro- prietress of one of the numerous millinery establishments in the neighborhood, a cinema commis- slonaire, and two smartly-dressed, berouged girls. A strange enough assembly, and into their midst the tobacconist led a blind mam-an old, unwanted, street fiddler, with his violin in a green baizc bag un- rier his_-arm. Without a word, the directed him to the centre of the room and left him, and the old man took out his in- strument and lovingly touched the strings. Then, putting the violin to

his chin, he laid the bow to it and began to play.

Listen! he is playing a merry folk-dance; the journalist recogniz- es it as a. setting oi "Shepherd's I-iéy," and, although thc blind man's Renlus is bounded by the limits of four strings, he touches at once the sense of tho piece-and the listen- ers conjure up pictures of the sun- ny downland and the rippling corn, the glory of summer and the sweet loent oi the new mown hay.

With scarcely a. pause, he chang- ed his tune, and it is a sweet, sad, yearning thing-the Canto Popo- isres of Elgar, What is it that this simple air has to give to these nine dlversely assorted people, Is it thc hopeless longing of an unrequited love? Oh is it the cry of the soul looking up at the unattainable ideal? The bibuious u tie] men smoothes his moustache. and the. commlsslonaire moves his feet heavily: the two girls are standing very still.

Allin the air changed. and in- stead of the pitiful yearning, wc

have the almost more than human tenderness of mother-love, far too strong for time and circumstance and evil to weaken it. Solfjcgs song, from "Peer Cynt"; and the journalist wonders why, when he heard this same piece brilliantly executed by the finest orchestra in the world. he was not moved by it half as much. The Frenchwoman sighs audibly, and one of the girls dabs her eyes with a diminutive handkerchief.

Once more the violin takes up a new strain, and this time the jour- nalist cannot imagine the tune. But it has become a voice from the darker places of life. Dry, arid, un- satisfied, it breathes or disappoint. ment and unending bitterness. There is a personal note in this; the fiddler is telling them what life has given him in return for all his genius and toll-a place in the gut- ter, and the charity of thc Hectic Acre, Someone in the room is sob- blng. The music ceases.

But this is not the end. Lifting his violin again, the blind man draws two long chords from it, and then plays his last message to nine tense hearts. Despair? Dr-lczu? Nol Hope, couragc, triumph. 1i. is Ger- man music, and it seems lost with- out a well accustomed heavy ur- chestration with which h; is 5st, The Pilgrim's Chorus, from "Tann- hauser." He does not trouble to at- tempt? the wavering, reluctant si- ren-notes of the Venusburg, but lllBt the simple march oi the pil- grim's, and the grand notes ring through the little room with a vib- rancy and power that seems unbe- lievable. Despair, suffering is not the end of all-there is a future of hope, of victory. .

The old violinist tucks his violin and bow under his arm, and holds out his battered hat. And the aud- ience; as they contribute, pass out, silently, "as if," said my friend,” they had been in church."

Downstairs, in thc shop, the Jour. nallst begged to be told all about this strange concert; how and why. it came to be held. But the tobac- conist had little to say.

"I am not- what you call a good man, sir: but when I hear that music, I think it brings me a little nearer to the angels."

That, my friend, is what music is, and what it does. It makes us see those great facts of life which in the bustle and hurry of life we are prone to overlook, and it brings us a little nearer to the angels.

After Effects Of Mustard Gas

ii-

NEW YORK, April ill-Soldiers poisoned by mustard gas in the Great War can look forward in af- ter years at the worst to chronic bronchitis, emphysema (swollen lung tissues) bronchial asthma and cer- tain eye conditions such as con- junctivitis and coroneal opacities. Probably 60 per cent. can look for- ward to no ills whatever. It is doubtful whether mustard gas play- ed much part in the. development of tuberculosis.

These are some of the conclusions of a study oi wartime gassing after eflects made public by the medical bulletin of the veterans’ administra- tion. '

Chicago Crowds To See Octopus

---s

CHICAGO, April ll-Times are very good, as fer as the octopus st the Shedd Aquarium is concerned. Crabs are being shipped from California for his diet. Sunday crowds have increased from an av- erage of 25,000 to 60,000.

The octopus, in Florida waters, has been in captivity here for three weeks, which is one week longer than the high record of long- evity for captured octopl in this country.

"And," said Director Walter H. Chute, "he's still ss good so new."

King Who Declined Church Warden Role

-—__

LONDON, April IQJ-In connec-. tion with the annual Easter Vestry meetings it is recalled that about 150 years ago the King was elected‘ Church Warden. It was George III, who was given this distinction by the famous London Church, St. Martin-in-the-Flelds, but His Ma- jesty did not take it as a compli- ment, and refused to serve. Buckingham Palace being in the parish, the church members at a vestry meeting, probably moved by some freakish whim, named the King as the People's Warden for s year. The Monarch‘s refusal to ac- cept the office led to a threat to take action at law to compel hlm to do so. The question as to how far the Sovereign in his private capa- city might be bound to undertake such duties was left in doubt be- cause King George got out of the difficulty by accepting election and then appointing a deputy,

Woman Feels A Fool In Tiara

LONDON, Eng, April 19.-»A wo- man who had been prcscnivrl at Court expressed some outspoken views on the wearing of tiaras dur- ing the hcaring in the King's Bench Division recently of a dispute vre- garding eight pieces of Jewellery which, it was claimed, were held on trust for Captain Ambrose William Goddard. a son of the late Captain Edward I-lesketh Goddard, and a beneficiary under his will.

The plaintiffs were Mrs. Florence May Goddard, widow, of Walpole street, Chelsea, Mrs, Charles Fred-

Lost Dignity Won Rumpus

CANNES, France, April lit-Lord Louis Mountbatten lost his hat, stick and, for s. time, his dignity, but he won a rumpus with police-

the Royal box at the annual battle

erick Goddard, of Cotham Glou- cester, and Sir William Henry Cro-

oi flowers Saturday. The police doubted the authenticity of his pass

zier, of Brunswick Gardens, Ken- sington (trustees under the will) and Captain Ambrose William God- dard.

The defendant was Mrs. Ursula Goddard, formerly the wife of Cap- tain Ambrose Wiiliam Goddard, of Meadowscroit, Winkfield, Berk- shire.

Mrs. Ursula Goddard, it was stat- ed, had obtained a divorce from her husband, and the action was brought against her to recover the jewellery.

Wedding Present Story

She denied that certain of thc pieces were in her possession, and said that other articles were given her as a wedding present by her husband ,and a further article shc sold with her knowledge and con- sent. '

Captain Ambrose Goddard, in the wltnes box, said that the jewellery was in trust, and his wife knew she could only wear it while she was his wife.

Captain Goddard said that part oi

when his wife was presented at Court.

Mrs. Ursula Goddard, giving evi- dence, said that when the tiara was handed her by her husband it was never suggested that he did not have the power to give it to her.

"I tried to wear the tiara to please Captain Goddard, but I did not like it; it hurt my head, and, anyway, I feel s. fool in a tiara," said Mrs. Goddard. -

"Painful Litigation."

"I think it was always an unsuit- able article oi Jewellery even for the Court," Mrs. Goddard later added, in reply to a question by Mr. Bey- fus, KC, for tho plaintiffs.

Mr. Justice Swift, giving Judg- ment, said: "This has been an ex- tremely fruitless and. painful litiga- tlon."

There must be Judgment for the trustees against Mrs. Ursula God- dard. The declaration the trustees asked for was in respect of the dis- mond tiara, s sapp‘ and diamond brooch, a diamond ring, and pearl and diamond earrings.

As regards s round diamond pen- dant, which was sold by Mrs. Ursula Goddard, Mr. Justice Swift awarded thc trustees £10, 1s. damages for conversion.

So far as captain Ambrose Wil- liam Goddard's claim to thc rcturn of the Jewellery was concerned, that completely failed.

the Jewellery was made into a tiara '

for some unknown reason and were about to eject him when the Mayor of Cannes came to the rescue.

lViIItS. AUGUSTINE MacDONALD

To few mortals is it given to at- tain almost a. century of life, yet was it so given to the late Mrs. Augustine MacDonald of Alllsary who passed to her eternal reward on March 29th.

In 1864 she married Augustine MacDonald also of Allisary, who predeceased her four years ago. and to this marriage was born three daughters and five sons sll of who are still living.

Until a fevw months before her death she enjoyed excellent health, and until the last her mental faculties remained quite clear. A keen reader and possessed oi good memory she kept herself abreast of the times in current events and all matters of interest and was thus at all time; a pleasing conversation- alist.

Her daughters are: Mrs. Allan Morrison oi Savage Harbor; Mrs. Wallace Maclntyre of French Village; Mrs. Albert Maclnnis 'of Somerville, Mass, and the sons. Alfonsus of Roanoke, Va.: Allan J. of Melbourne, Australia; James B. of Boston, Muss» Wilfred and Charles of Mt. Stewart.

MR. JOHN J. MARTIN

The death took place in the Prince Edward Island Hospital, Charlottetown, April 15th, 1038, of lvir. John J. Martin after a ling- ering illness lasting about 4 months at the age of '15 years. His wife predeceased him by 5 years. There was no family.

Mr. Martin was born in Valley- field East, but his father while the subject of our story was still very young bought 100 acres. of timber land in Glen William to which he removed his family and began the strenuous life of a pioneer farmer with which he combined some blacksmithing. Mr. Martin is dc- scribed to the writer as a kind and dutiful son who in his youth and young manhood helped his parents all he could until he left to make his living in the United States, settling in Boston, where he spent the most of his life. He was engaged in various branches of building construction, until ad- vancing years) and slack times came. Now he found himself out of work and was obliged to return to his native Province. Since his return he was the cordially wel- come guest oi his sister Catherine and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm McKenzie, Valleyfield, and helped this hospitable and highly rwpected couple all he could on the farm. Two months ago taking seriously ill Dr. Brehaut ordered him to the hospital. After about 2 months there he wrote his sister how eager he was to get

BERLIN, April l8—(C.P.)-A description of the bombardment of Pims by N"? sllecial long range "W11 sun "Bic Bertha" at the end of March, i918, is given by the “Lokal Anzeiger."

It states that the ex-Kaiser was present to witness the firing of the first shot at 7.16 a. m. on March 23. The gun was finally destroyed to prevent hands of thc French, but it is not known what became of the plans,

Rear-Admiral Rogge, who was in charge of the operations, is still alive.

During the firing the gun barrel was raised to 50 degrees and thc shell rose to a height of 25 milcs. travelling the 80 miles to Paris in three minutes. In all 280 shells were dropped on the French capit- a1.

The gun barrel was 111 feet long. and the Sirmilth of the charge was calculated on reports received as to the temperature, strength of the wind. and moisture in thc air.

When the elderly man called at Mrs. Malczynskas back door, she argued with him several minutes over whether he would pay hcr five cents or ten cents for some old books and magazines.

She won the argument and got the dime, but recalled aftcr the man left that her husband had hidden $4,000 in one of the books.

Police thought at first it would be easy to find a "whiic whiskcrcd man driving a white horse." They ques- tioned several mcn yesterday who answered the description, but none was the man.
