RESULT OF TEN YEARS EFFORT Absurdities of rresent Sltnatlon Pointed Oat at First Alt-Itasalasi Women's fonarress Trial Marrlnarea Proposed. ST. TETERSBfRO. Jan. M.-The first all Russian women's congress has Just had a husy week of general and srcHlonal meetings. The l,2no delegates represented the most diverse elements from the HnJtlc to the Pacific For ten years women have been trying to hrlng the congress about. It Is not & by product of the recent revolutionary up heaval. Its program of business, drawn up long ago, was distributed for debate and decision to four sections. It com prised: Woman's position In the family, her wages, liberty and health when work ing for her livelihood; her right to vot and to have a share In clvto life, her edu cation and the upbringing of children. Russian women hold a different position !n the scheme of society from the women In other lands. In many respects It Is more advantageous. Thousands of them are employed In banks and business offices In St. Peters bun?. They do most of the copying and typewriting In the government depart ments. They form the corps of stenog raphers who take down the official reports In the debates In the council of empire and In the Duma, They sell railway tickets and sometimes they signal trains. They are the cashiers at theaters. Women doctors of medicine ore more numerous and In better practice here than in any other capital In Europe. Women are being trained at the St. Petersburg enKlneerlng institute in drawing architec tural plans and in the School of Scientific Design. Even In the vast network of vil lage communities, which Is the essence of Russia, women are accustomed, through widowhood or the .failure of male succes sion, to sp ak anl vote at the iisnt meet ings where local life Is regulated. What They Complain Of. It was the complaint of the Women's congress that such opportunities have been accorded by the complacence of the men and are not based on law. The recent In stance was cited of the minister of educa tion's closing to women students the doors of university classes by the issue of a de partmental order from which there is no appeal, because some of them had been proved to be members of revolutionary se cret societies. In the mass of administra tive precedents sanctioned by the Imperial senate Btlll the supreme court In Russia and Initialed by a success of czars, which is known as the code of laws, the status of women is nowhere defined. The congress cited a flagrant case. A widowed mother and two young daugh ters have created for themselves in St. Petersburg a small hosiery business by which they live. The only son turned out badly and deserted the family. To secure themselves In their property, aa they thought, the women registered their shop In the name of a younger daughter, as the one likely to live longest. Three months ago this daughter was attacked by cholera and ' died without being able to make a will. Ail the regis, tered property went by law to the son aa the male head of the family. He ordered it to be sold and appropriated the pro ceeds, leaving the two women who had made the business to start from nothing and try to make a living again. Advanced womanhood had her oppor tunity at the congress to have her say on the Institution of marrVagn. In Russia she has got much beyond Osorge Meredith's Idea of a terminable contract.

A 1 SeilQB llio lUtluwuiB vuituiiuni. a I tlon to the music department of " I The Bee. regarding the opera season which closed hero in long-drawn-out intermissions last Saturday night. The letter contains much that Is worthy of reflection and It would be well if more people felt some senti ments about operatic mftttars. and tired them In the press. The music supervisor of The Bee has often written along the same line, but has despaired of seeing In the near future, a demand for the use of our own language In singing. We can not go to dine without either knowing the Freuoh language, or running the risk of getting something ws do not want, rather than display our lack of French knowledge to the waiter. If an American sings in foreign oountry he must only slug the language of that country, but sing It is well as a native, or else he will receive scant courtesy. Other countries are very Jealous of their language and resent any bad pronuncia tions by English-speaking singers. But we, who boast of our Independence, who brag of our supremacy, who talk very largely about our patriotism, will pay good money to hear people sing whole perfor mances In foreign tongues which only a few of us know. We are getting worse Instead of better ulung this line. Because why? Well Just because our own people now go abroad ' and como back to ubo with the poison of I enlnilty against the English language ' coursing through their veins. It is gio- ti-sitie to hear Americans after a few yvar j (or niiinths) abroad, come buck and find that they cannot express themselves In ! English, and cannot possibly sing in their i ow n language . iThe reason, of course. Is i simple namely that such people cannot "speak" their own language, much less sing It.) And worse still, are American composers are NOW writing music for foreign words, oblivious to the beauties of English litera ture which could be found In the libraries of their respective cities. Of course one must take the trouble to look for gems, they are not usuully to be found In the 10-cent magazines. Ldst season, from one of our leading publishing houses In this country, The Bee received a number of songs written by American composers of the present day, and found most of the songs written to German or French text. Now this is nothing against the German or French text, but In all decency, why did not these composers get the help of some literature-loving friends, or English literature teachers, so that they might be directed to the writers who wrote songs which are themselves veritable poems of music, waiting for harmonious settings? We must however, in hope of better things, rsjoloe la Ue mafntfloeat work with reoalottfwnt has bands.. It Mnoentad, aa far aa concerned the man, to ts to be returned on disapproval" matrlmotilai sys tem. The woman could continue to experi ment until she was sure she hsd found a mate to her complete liking before enter ing on a binding contract. There ts no civil marriage for orthodox Russians, and divorce for them Is still a question exclusively for the church courts. Separated households are con sequently very frequent. The custody of the children In these cases Is a problem for which the congress failed to find a new solution. The most formidable Mumbling block for the feminists was encountered in the political section of congress. The leader of the women socialists maintained that there was no woman Question in the doctrines of socialism. Her friends were united on the subject, as they placed the two sexes on complete equality. This line of argument did not commend Itself to the moderates In the congress. In cluding several women of standing In Rus sian society, who wished to confine the dis cussions to the moral and physical better being of their sex, but they were not able to resist a resolution In favor of universal secret suffrage for men and women alike. Work anal Waaes. In the section for women' work and wages tha congress voted for an sight hour day and specifically for an order making It Illegal to employ women at manual labor for a month before and a month after the birth of a child. Moreover it asked that women should not be employed In mines or at occupations Injurious to them. At the moment of closing the congress an advanced spirit felt that a thrill was wanting for a fitting feminist denouement.; She called aloud for the abolition of cap ital punishment. Her unrehearsed effort brought tho In evitable police official to his feet with an order to close the meeting, as It had no right to censure tha "existing order." As the business of the congress was over the Incident had no sequel and partook of the nature, of a suffragette's parting shot at a magistrate. Ri sped for the "exisilng order" abroad was Insured by prohibiting the dis cussion of a resolution approving Esigllnh suffragette tactics on the ground that It expressed censure of the government of a friendly power. Thero were io banners, but the eighty-year-old mother of the movement, Madame Kllosofova, received a largo collection of original poems In her honor. "VISITATION OF PROVIDENCE" Absurdity of Attrlbntlnic Kvll to bod Revealed to Those Who Thlak. Men speak of the earthquake In Italy, by which multitudes perished, as "a visitation of Providence." If any calamity happens It Is a visitation of Providence or "the act of God." Men are very quick to attribute evil to God, but to claim the credit of that which is good to themselves. If thv coun try is prosperous it is the result of tho tariff, the wisdom of the lawmakers or the energy and enterprise of the people. We never talk of prosperity as a "visitation of Providence." But If evil befall the land, if there 1 war, pastllanca or famine or death and destruction In casualties, then It Is a "visitation of Providence." Mr. John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia merchant, undertook to convince the Young Men' Christian association that the terri ble earthquake In Italy was "a visitation of the Almighty for disregarding the law of Mount 8Uial." Among those who died In that dreadful calamity were thousands of Infants, who did not know their right hands from the left and had never heard of the law of Sinai. Did God visit death upon these for the sin or the othurst "And Jesus answering said unto them. Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans because they suffered such things? I tell you, nay or those eighteen upon whom the tower in BUoam fell and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, nay." That was a distinctly dif ferent doctrine from that which Is taught About Music, Musicians and Musical Events which Mr. Savage has done through his opera companies and their opera In Eng lish. It Is not yet perfect, but It Is a great stride onward. But enough. Here Is the communication referred to; "It Is to be regretted that not until the very last day of their engagement in this city did the Italian Qrand Opera company Introduce to us works of suoh purely Italian character aa Cavallerla Rustlcana' and 'I Pagllacci.' "It certainly Is wrong to waste the few, the very few occasions for hearing grand opera In this part of the country on operas which have been heard here, tim and again. This would be excusable had the company something new to show us In the way of stage manugement or novel interpretation of works, which would be able to grouse new Interest In operas sung here many tltnis before by more famous, It higher priced companies. It oeruinly li to be depiorvd that a company whose repertoire includes 'Othello, La Boheme,' and 'Fedora, (the latter written by the modern Italian composer, Utuberlo Glordauo) should delight In repeating over and over again such old familiar operas as 'Fa'ist' and 'Lucia.' "Nowadays we are quite convinced of the fact that the old Italian school of opera, aa represented by Donnisetti, Bellini and even by Verdi In the earlier period of his life mesnt an accomplishment of the high est merit for their time. But while the present writer doubts very much whether the Importation of foreign opera singers, singing In a foreign tongue (practically not understood by the laiger part of the audience) Is calculated to promote the ef forts now being made here and there in tills country to create a national American operatlo art, yet ha believes that the least thing we can expect from musical organiza tions coming across Is that they show us the present standard of their own national art; that Is, to show us that since the days of old, when the old favorite operas of our grandparents were written, Italy has pro duced euually great. If not greater musi cians, composers who know the secret of keeping up with the progress of their time, which had created a new form of operatic art, that of the musical drama. "It was Verdi who realized the great ar tistic revolution that had Its center In the small, theretofore practically unknown, Prankish city of Bayreuth, and who, un der the Influence of this newer, greater form of musical art wrote his last works, 'AlUa,' 'Othello' and 'Falstaff.' Since then Italy has given the musical world Pletro Masgnl, the creator of the 'Verlsmo,' It has produced Lieoncavallo and Qlacomo Puccini, to mention only the three names most prominent In the brilliant row of great opera composers. "Should It not be the mission of visiting Italian operatlo organisations to make us more acquainted with tha works of com posers purely Italian In character and en tirely modern In musical construction. In stead of again singing to us the dear old ever favorite" sextette from 'Lucia' and Who You who reap less than you sow. You who fill short of your full possibilities. You who use arrows where grape-shot is needed, then wonder why others suc ceed better than you. You who seek ability here is some thing you should know. There is a New Way in advertising which is responsible for scores of the greatest successes. A New Way, created by us, which has made our business the largest of its kind, solely by astounding results. A New Way which often makes one dollar do the work of ten. Let us explain it to you. The Many-Man Power We employ in our offices, both in New York and Chicago, an Advisory Board. These two boards together consist of twenty-eight men. Each of these men is a master of ad vertising. Each is a man of vast experi ence and of proved ability. Each has won his place here through brilliant suc cesses in many hard-fought campaigns. All are high-priced men. It costs us about $1 a minute to keep one of these boards in session. These men, in conference, work out the campaigns which we undertake for our clients. We bring to bear all their ex perience, all their ideas. The astounding successes for which we are famous are due to this co-operation. One-Man Power Under the Old Way, such problems were left to one man's solution. Most agents do that today. NEW YORK SECOND NATL BANK DLDG. FIFTH AVE. and 28U ST. Both our offices are equally equipped in every department, and the two are connected by two private telegraph wires? Thus they operate as though all men in both offices were under a single roof. Address the office nearest you. by Mr. Wanamaker. Of the twelve Apostles only one died a natural death, and bo died after a life which was a living death. All the rest were done to death In tho most cruel manner. Was that a visitation of tha Almighty because they had disregarded the the sad old story of Faust and Marguerite, which really Is nothing more than a Ger man dish served In a French, altogether too French manner? "The opinion of the present writer on this subject certainly prevails among singers themselves, for they seemed to feel quite at home In their parts In 'Cavallerla Rustlcana' and 'I Pagllacci.' They needed no artificial makeup to look like what Is known as the typical Italian peasant. Perhaps for this reason they dis played far more temperament and true Italian fire and gave a performance which excelled anything they have ever done here before. And It was a great Joy, Indeed, to see the attitude of the Omaha people who at this performance completely filled the Boyd and In their enthusiastic recep tion of the two works showed that they certainly were up to a more modern form of opera than was given them by the com pany the two previous nights." Yes, the correspondent awakens mem ories of certain paragraphs printed In this column Just last ye sr. along these ways of thought. The singers do, as a rule, like to sing the more modern things, and It Is doubtless the old story of "money" over again. An ancient writer once said that "the root of all evil" was the "love of money." Not money, mind you, but Just "the love" of It. And so the operatic manager, loving money more than music, and studying the box-off les shret, rather than the stage. simply presents the opera which, in his opinion, will draw the muHt money. And then sometimes nnnountes that "at the request of the muaic-loving people" this more "profitable" work will be pies-enteJ. Tho only people who really promote musical progress are the people who want the newer tilings. Think it over. You will probably challenge this. But. In the main, it will be found Hue. The people who want the dear old melo dies are good, too; their place In the scheme Is to hold a balance, so that the greatest of the old masterpieces will not be forgotten. But, It must be remembered, these "old melodies'' were one time "new," and people of conservative tastes doubtless disliked them as "modern," and wished for the other "good old melodies" which their grandfathers used to enjoy. And the "new" things of today, will be the "old" things of the next decade, so that nothing is really entirely old or en tirely new. The thing to be desired is the capacity to hear. It is the "hearing ear" that must be cultivated h we would enjoy the wealth and treasure of the kingdom of music. A wise man once said: "The car of the wise seeketh knowledge." It Is a strange saying when one looks at It first. It Is not: "The ear of the wise heareth," nor is It the "mind of the wise serketh." But, "the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge." Tha wise geek knowledge by bearing. The To Advertisers Want the Ablest Help Sometimes the man is able, sometimes experienced. Still it is one-man power. One man never learns all the pitfalls. The ablest of men has limited knowledge, limited ideas and experience. And hu man nature is too varied for any one man to average. Hut our Advisory Boards, in confer ence, rarely make mistakes. And they rarely fail to get from advertising every latent possibility. Under the one-man way, too many cam paigns failed to return their cost. We know that from our own experience. Under the New Way, most of our clients succeed. Under the Old Way, we made but semi-successes. Under the New Way our successes are the wonders of adver tising. Free Service One duty of our Advisory Boards is to answer for anyone any such questions as these: Can this article of mine be successfully advertised? Can this advertising of mine be made more effective? Such questions involve no charge, no obligation. You are welcome to submit them. Another duty is to solve all selling problems.
