OLD AGE PAY IN FRANCE
Doable Schema Proposed In Which
Employer, Employe aad State

PARIS. Feb. 25. A committee of the
French senate under the presidency of M.
Cuvtnot haa formulated a scheme for old
age and workmen's pensions with which
It is understood the government is In al
most complete agreement. The scheme is
a very complex one and will give rise to
long debates In the aenate and later In
the chamber, but Its main lines are clear.
It createa two benefit for wage earners
One Is an absolute gift to which they will
contribute nothing, while the other Is a
form of Insurance to which they 'Will sub
scribe. The first benefit Is sn annual grant of

when they reach the ag;a of 66. The fund)
'iom which this Is to be paid are to be
raised by a tax levied on the employers
.tnd a complementary contribution by the

Employer are to piy for each, of their
employee over ft a sum of 11 SO a year
snd 80 cents for each under 18. Only one
tenth of theae aums will be payable tra
first year the law goes Into effect, two
tenths the second year, three-tenths the
third year and so on. so that It will only
be after ten years that the employer will
be paying the full amount, and after that
year his payments will remain fixed.
It is calculated that for the first year

The psyments msd are to be obligatory,
with the option of paying more and eo

how much this aecond part of the scheme
is likely to cost the stste.
The Insured will effect their payments
by placing stamps on an annual card
which each will receive, thereby avoiding
the necessity of having the employer
deduct the payment from the employe's
wages. The commission particularly
wished , to avoid giving this Insursnce
scheme the appearance of lessening wages.
but It haa felt itaelf obliged to Insert an
article to the effect that if at the end of

MHICAOO, March 4. The Men
I f 1 delssohn Choir of Toronto. Can.,
I I ha sung In Chicago and has
1 I mat with InatJlnt nt hlmlfl St Ic
endorsement and applause. It
was a wonderful experience to
stand tn the foyer at Intermission
and at close of the concert and to
hear the various comment about the sing
ing of Dr. A. 8. Vogt' distinguished cohort
of chorists. "It is the greatest I have
heard here or elsewhere." "You came from
Omaha to hear thia concert well, 1 came
from Cincinnati to. hear It." "They sound
just like a fine orchestra, don't they?"
"How do you think they compare with the
Siegfried Ochs Phllharmonle choir of Ber
lin?" One venerable enthusiast, with
countenance like the benignant BUhop
Blenvenu of Victor Hugo'a portraying, held
forth earnestly to a group of admiring
friends In these words: "The secret of their
work Is that each one knows the music
thoroughly."
Bj much for general opinions the present
writer lias his own ideas on the subject,
which will follow'.
By way of Introduction what led the
musical editor of The Bee to take two or
three days out of a very busy week and
hie himself to Chicago? The answer Is
this: Ist summer, the writer.' returning
from Europe, happened to be relating his
choral plan to Mr. George Hamlin, the dis
tinguished American tenor, when the lat
ter aald: "It the Mendelssohn choir of
Toronto comes to Chicago (as Is now prob
able) for a short series of concerts, don't
let anything prevent your attendance; you
will be delighted: their work Is astonish
ing." Knowing very well that Mr. Hamlin Is
tne last one In the world to be hysterical
on Art matters, curiosity to hear this great
body of singers and to study the modus
opersndl or method of their conductor;
hence this visit to the "coming musical
center of America," as some Chicago
muslcisns are styling their residential city.
And why not? New York Is really an
European center.
Be that as It may, Chicago has an or
chestra and a conductor of which the en
tire central part of the United States
may be aggresaively proud. Mr. Fred
erick Stork, the conductor, ia tremend
ously popular, and he gave a moat faith
ful presentation of the "Egmont" over
ture of Beethoven. In 8metana'a "Bar
tered Bride" overture and especially in
the Symphonic Poem, "La Belle au bola
dormant." which is a aeriea of tone pic
tures descriptive of the story of the
"Sleeping Beauty," Mr. Stock showed hi
strength; his conducting waa entirely
free and unstllted, and the playing of hi
orchestra showed many evidences of the
thoroughness of the rehearsal. The at
mospheric colorings and shadings of the
modern Psrtslan. Alfred Bruneau, as de
picted in his Symphonic Poem laat al
luded to. were brought out most faith
fully. Alas! that Bruno Steindel was not at
the first ' 'cello desk! He and Mr. Ounn,
the musics! critic of the Inter Ocean,
have had a disagreement, amounting al
most to a display of temper. Mr Steindel
having reaented a criticism -made by the
musical critic, refuses to play when aaid

critic Is present. Said critic rest on hi
prerogative, and the Inter Ocean must
tand by Its "Clunns." So there you are.,
The newspaper has Its report of the con
cert, and the eminent Steindel I mlislng
from the goodly fellowship of tbe violon
cellists. Orchestra Hall, the handsome home of
the orchestra, on Michigan avenue (whlcn
stately street Is being considerably
widened), is a commodious and well-appointed
auditorium (marred by fore-shortening
perhapa), with a spacious ground
floor on the parquet plan; a second floor
entirely given up to boxes; a huge bal
cony going back . steep and high, and a
generous gallery.
When the concert Is just about to be.
gin, a bell rings, and, by the way, it rings
too close to the beginning it Is prac
tically a signal for the conductor to be.
gin, rather than for the audience to be
seated; ordinarily the ushers keep late
arrivals outside the hall proper until
after a number, but some people were
seated during one of the choral numbers.
Then the house is semi-darkened, the
celling light and proscenium border
alene being the Illuminating factors.
The Mendelssohn Choir of Toronto, about
JH in number, m.tde a beautiful picture,
the plain white gowning of the women and
the orthodox black and white aprarelhng
of the men behind, relieved by the color
touch of pink carnations, one of which
wss worn by each member. The carnstlon
scheme extended also to the orchestra.
When Dr. Vogt emerged from the back
amidst woodwinds and strings and ap
peared on the conductor's platform Chlcatto
gave him a glad and Joyous welcome.
Then as one man or woman! the clioii 1
stood, without the slightest noise or fuss
cn a quiet signal from tho conductor, and
the first tones of the sa'ntly old "Cruci
fixus" of Antonio lyittl begun to steal
through the echo chambers of the building,
as though they were the spirit voices which
five half centuriea ago first gave utter
ance to this part of the "Credo." Heie
wire true soft tones, low basses iiifln;
with delicacy; pitch absolutely accurate;
fust basses adding their voices softly but
surely, tenors followed by higher tenors,
sltos by higher nltos and so on until the
eight psrt chorus, beautiful In its com
plexity, wss ringing out in glorious volume,
msny colored aa the stained glass in an old
rcse window.
Every eye ia on Dr. Vogt throughout each
number. IJke a Napoleon he stands, and
compel results, but the results are obtained
quietly at concert, becajse the plans havs
been carefilly laid out before rehearsal and
worked out diligently, uncompromisingly,
completely. Many of the singets are en
tirely Independent of their music sheets or
books and give their undivided attention to
the conductor. This was especially true of
one bearded "master-singer" in the' center
of the front row of tenors, who sang every
thing, apparently, entirely (rum memory!
Now what applause! The entire aasem
Mage (and the houae waa sold out) burst
Into tumultuous physical manifestation of
the sheer joy It felt upon hearing choral
music In Its purity. Choral tone Is a thing
which ta been despiseo, neglected, and

Ignored. Dr. Vogt has awakened It. vital
ized It. glorified it. Because the Men
delssohn Choir of Toronto has lived, choral
singing will never be Just what It was; it
will be revolutionised. The Choir of the
future will be better and nobler and more
glorious, and the Spirit of Music will pre
vail more mightily because of this organisa
tion and it Director.
But what Is the ecret? Wherein lies the
power? What constitutes the difference
between the Mendelssohn choir of Toronto
and others?
There are several things. For example,
the conductor has complete attention, be
cause the aingera know, really know, their
parts; not only do they know the visible
tiotes on the paper, but they are full of
the spirit of the vork In hand. .
nd then, a "piano" passage t sun:
"softly." as Indicated, and a "pianissimo"
Is superlatively e ft, as also indicated' th?
same applies to the treatment of "foite"
and "fortissimo." Dr. Vogt develops and
attains the various degrees ard shade of
"1 ud'' and "coft," while most conductors
give on merely loud and scft. or mine
frequently "loud" and "lei h ud "
The diminishing of the tone I one nf
the strongest points of the choir's wcrk,
and it l little short of wonderful! espe
cially so when one consciously knows that
It Is secured by simple fldell'y to purpose,
constant watchfulness, mental concentra
tion and individual self-control, and not
by sny spectacular genius or by wondrous
beauty of natural voice. Choral unanimity!
Another distinctive, point in the work of
the Mendelasohn choir Is the solidity of
iittack, that Is, the solid entrance of the
entire t' nal mass at one Instant, and the'
equally complete manner of ending a
phrase, entirely tog'ther, be the ending
f.'ft or loud. The dramatic fervor which
Cie singers chii put Into their tone was
wonderfully displayed In the f.ivoiite old
Motet "By Babylon's Wave," when the
words "In that da.y shall thy balvs be
takentaken and dashed," were given with
tremendous effectiveness. the word
-Jashed" being slightly dwelt upon with an
ever-Increasing volume until the final con
sonants were given with auch realism as to
almost make one shudder.
This vigorous tone was also vividly ap
parent In tho choral ballad "The Challenge
of Thor," by Sir Edward Elgar. and In
the "Chorale and Finale" from "The
Melsteralngers," by Wagner. In these two
number the support of the orchestra and
organ made them most n- table in majesty
and nobility.
At the new club, "The Cliff Dwellers,"
which Is composed of leading musical peo
ple, artists and literary men, and which
haa Its headquarters on the top of the
Orchestra building, looking with a fine
sweep over the waters of Lake Michigan
a reception was given to Dr. A. 8. Vogt and
the MendelsHohn Choir. It wss a very rep
resentative gathering of lights in the in
tellectual firmament. Hera the writer had
the pleasure of meeting Dr. Vogt, who Is so
big that he is delightfully approachable,
and ot telling him what an Inapiratlon he
was giving to a Mendelssohn Choir l.OQu
miles from Toronto. Talking with some
member of the choir and with the ever-
"Fashionscal" suits show
all the authentic new style
features for spring. The
