While a boy he became a member of the choir of St. Steph en's , In Vienna , and a.udled violin nnd piano. Karly In life he began to compose and showed great talent. He Is justly called "the father of the symphony , " nnd It Is largely owing to hU genius that out of n chaos of Instruments and players wo have the modern orchestra. H'e ' died In Vienna May 31 , 1S09. Robert Alexander Schumann wca born June 8 , 1S10 , at Zwlclcav. Saxony. IIU falhor favored hU musical Inclinations ; hh mother opposed them. When U years old hu heard for the flrat time a great planUt , and his soul was set on fire. Yet , to pleasi his mother , he began to study law. It was a. waste of time. The mystic power of the greatest of the arts was over him anil claimed him as Its willing devotee. Schu mann baa written symphonies , oratorios , operas , SOURS , and a great mass of piano music. His power Is greater today than when he was alive. He died July 29. 1S3C. In an asylum for the Insane , nwr llonn. He believed that Mendelssohn , Schubert and Hach came to him and communed with him. His last composition was some varia tions upon a theme which he believed they gave to him. Three Songs Schubert ( a ) Shnkcspenre's Serenade , Hark , Hark , the Lark ( b ) The Wanderer , Ich Kommc vom Geblrgc Her ( c ) Huri-itrole , Auf dem Wasser zu Sltigen ( Transcribed by I.l.-zt. ) Franz Peter Schubert was born In a su burb of Vienna. January 31. 1797. Ho was one of n family of nineteen children. Ilia father taught him violin , and before he was 10 years of ago he bflnan to compose. Schubert was a musician by Intuition , for ho was never properly schooled In the art. He was so full of It that It had to come out , and his natural sense of the Illness of things and Ilia keen observation carried him through where others , without more actual knowledge , would have fallen. He wrote symphonies , piano music , chamber music , masics , operas one of which he took to the great opera composer Weber for his approval and Influence to have It performed. Weber told him that "first operas and puppies should be drowned" but he stands at the head of all the world as a writer of songs. He. died November 19 , 1S2S , at Vienna , and hH body lies burled bcalde that of Ilccthovcn. ( a ) Nocturne , opus C2 , No. 1. C imijor. . . . ( b ) Impromptu , opus 30.

Chopin Frederic Francois Chopin was born In a cottage on the estate of Count Fryderyk Sharbek. near Warsaw. Poland. Maivh 1 , 1S09. Like nearly all other greal musicians , he evinced early his talent and nt S played the piano so well that he was looked upon as a second Mozart. In 1831 ho went to Parta and henceforth It was hU home. Chopln'a mental make-up 13 an anomaly among musicians. Hu bi'loiiRti to no class ; he Is alone of his kind. He built upon what had been done hy others , but he used different material. There is a mysterious Uhercal clement In his inuyic that none other possis3tH. It seems aa If when he .vioto a chord he put a new soul Into It. He wrote principally for the piano and every .musical hcmo has been brought under his magic ftptll.

He is largely responsible for the great development of technique- which ban been the characteristic of piano playing for the last forty years , nnd not only by his playing , but by hU numerous compositions and transcriptions , he contributed much to this end. Ad a compc er he is not among the greate-st , but the world owes him a nover-to-be-pald debt for his widespread In- llucnce in the caiwe of good music. anJ especially for his untlrliift elforts In bringing befoto the public the music-dramas of Rich ard Wagner. He died at lUyreiith , July 31. 1S36. and lies beside his grcut friend In the little Bavarian village , In thu Mecca of musical r.rt. * * One week from next Thursday evening Da- comber 17 Mmc.

" . and costs for trespassing on the property of the Block yards company. At torney Patrick , for the defendant , at once attempted to have his client released on a writ of habeas corpus , but did not succeed , and Rothwell was taken to the county jail to spend Sunday. This Is the first case of trespass of any importance which has come up In the courts here , and the people generally were con siderably Interested In the outcome. For some time past the exchange has been over run with fakirs of all kinds , who Induced cattlemen to cross to this side of the tracks , where they were fleeced of their money , and Rothwell was alleged to be of this class by the stock yards management. General Manager Habcock of the Stock Yards company decided to prevent this class of people from lounging about the exchange building or yards , and caused the arrest of Rothwell hi order to make a test of the ordinance. City Attorney Montgomery pros ecuted the case , and , Instead of charging Rothwcll with trespass under the ordinance which was passed some years ago. the com plaint was drawn under a provision of the statutes. It Is asserted by Attorney Patrick that the ordinance Is not good and will not hold. The record behind the ordinance is defective , inthat it was passed , with several others , under a suspension of the rules , and the mlniito book docs not show any alllrmat'vo vote on this particular or dinance , which Is necessary In cases where a penalty Is attached. City Attorney Montgomery Is satisfied that the general law against trespass will bo sufficient In such cases , or at least until another ordinance can be drawn and passed which will bo legal. In his address to the court Attorney Montgomery gave notice that ho Intended to go right ahead and proseeiue every cano ot trespass called to Ills attention , in order to keep such characters away from the stock yards and the city. Officials of the Stock Yards company arc also determined to protect stockmen , and Mr. liubcoclc said yesterday that bo would. If necessary , put on six or more special policemen for the purpose of chasing swindlers off the grounds , ,1lailiCity ( ; osnli. | D. S. Clark , druggist. 2122 N street. A.
