In one notable case there were no less than twelve com posers represented. A kind of a hlrrh-class medley In the form of nn opera as It were. Tile name of rasticrlo hs one can Infer, meant a pasty, or pie. Hut whether when this pie vvns opened it was "a dainty dih to set before a king'' or not. the type ha gone out of existence. tJluck gave much time to the study of aesthetics and of the lnncuage and litera ture of the various countries. He was cer tainly patrician in his tastes and pur suits; he had princes and royalty of var ious kinds and degree to sing his music; one of his works was played by four arch duchesses, an archduke playing the accom paniment n. It is. of course, well known that Marie Antoinette studied slnirlng with him. Marie Antoinette later nssisted him nobly by her powerful protection hen the opposition to hint and his new Ideas was so strong In France, especially ainong those who wanted him kept out of the academy. The same old story. Cluck's new ideas were the I recursors of the Wagnerian Music Dramas. Me made the ovtrture mean something made It suggestive of what was condng, "to prei a'e the audience for the action of the piece, and serve as a kind of argument to it" (Gluck), Instead of being a potpourri of the opera or a piece of Instrumental glory to prepare for the rising of the cur tain, lie made the Music actually sub servant to. or perhaps more aiarurately con tributory to the action of the Drama; he finished the solos and arias without the customary repeats; Introduced choruses that had a meaning and a reason for exist ence and never sacrificed the dramatic situation for the exploitation of his own value as a composer or to gie a singer a chance to show-off remarkable virtuosity.

(iluck's contemporaries threw to him the usual beautiful compliments such as these: "I.ittle melody, little nature, little elegance. little refinement." Uluck was the first to introduce cv mbals and the bilge drum Into the orchestra which called forth this: "The noise of his orchestra was necessary to drown his clumsy modulations. And his duets were not only borrowed but badly borrowed from Italy." In fact his detractors denied him even thing. The storm center of the op position was the Italian ricclnl. and the (iliick-l'lcclnl controversy is familiar to all readers of musical history. This season Gluck haa been one of the favorite composers, and his works some of the most admired. In our metropolitan opera season of New York. In this year of our Lord, mil. and where, oh where, is I'lccinl? Could ll be that Plcclnl is a re Incarnation with his crassly material and brutally physical "Girl of the Mold-crazed West."

Speaking of bis Jphlgrnla In Taurls. the work which silenced the l'lccinists. the aforementioned Abbe Arnaud remarked most happily that "There was but one beautiful pull, and that was the whole of it." And It Is re corded that Hftcr the production of Alceste, Gluck one duy met tfie famous itousscau and said "Alceste has fallen"; whereupon the elo(iient and romantic Kousseau re sponded: "Yes, fallen from Heaven." I!ut we must pass on, and as we leave this lovely knight (for he was a sir knlgho we are reminded of the words under his por trait In the Paris opera house, the words of Pythagoras, which surely apply to Gluck: "lie preferred the Muses . to the Sirens."

"Other cities have solved the problem, so why can't the city of Omaha." says Treasurer Fuiay. "In Chicago.

The business ha reached such a volume that more than one-half the time of Clerk Ciickmore Is reunited to attend to Hip details of the assignments, such as filing them and then protecting the warrants when they come through. ( 'omp' roller Cosgrove stated Saturday morning mat more than half of Crickmore's time is taken up In this way, though Crlckmore denies this, saying that he can do the work In a day or two at the most. In his determination to lid the cltv It-. 11 of loan sharks, Funkhoiiser bias the buck ing of Councilman Kee Bridges, who stales that he will support Funkhouser's resolu tion to the last ditch. Comptroller Cosgrove, admitting thai the practice of handling assignments, has pre vailed In the office for years, stated Satur day morning that he would take no Im mediate action toward the elimination of the practice. "When 1 get my olti e in shape. I will take up this matter along with others which have come to my nothe.'' said Cos grove. "But for the present, 1 will not do anything, other than to make a state ment that the practice will be taken care ot in Mute." "Will you Issue n older for the office force to quit handling these assignments at the present time? You admit the prac tice prevails." Cosgrove was askad. May let Later. "Not at the present time," replied the comptroller. "1 will take some action later." "They say there is no solution for the evil," said Councilman Funkhouser. "The solution is so simple that 1 am surprised that It has never been dune. All the comp troller would have to do would be to Issue an order prohibiting his department from the handling of these assignments, if he does not do this on his own initiative. 1 will put It up to the council in the form of the resolution. If the city fathers want to sanction the maintaining of a depart ment for tha aid of the loan sharks at the expense of the people they can do It. But it will never be done with my vote. "The practice has grown to such an ex tent that the different departments con cerned are bothered to death by these pests who infest the city hall. It has not been so very long ago that Treasurer Furay literally kicked one loan shark out of his office, for Insisting that Furay give the time of his employes to further the sharks in their business. "But once the sharks find that they are not going to get the aid and protection of the city, they will quit the business. They won't take the chances If they know they have no protection, other than their own efforts." ' , 7 Furay Solves Problem. Treasurer Furay has solved the problem as far aa his office ia concerned.
