jr Buck. Enteral thii icor'.d March
1833. Left it October 6. 1909.
T IS with a f1in of genuine
regret that the musical editor
of The Uee mJrt begin the du
tlfi of the musical season by
chronicling the death of the be
loved and lovable American
t lposer, Dudley Puck. After a busy and
n life of work and fame and honor Dud
Buck, with the quietness of the falling
autumn leaves, gently and without warn-
K. fell asleep.
Wherever church music Is known
hroughout the length and breadth of this
United States the name of Dudley Buck Is
known and treasured. It may not be gen
erally known how very much of an Amer
ican Dudley Buck was. He had a lineage
which was of the highest. Away back
about Mayflower times the founder of the
nuck family In American history left the
shores of England and sailed for this coun
try, srttllng at Hartford, Conn.
In the veins of Dudley Buck there flowed
the blood of Wlnthrops, and Saltonstalls,
Dudleys and Adamses. The composer was
named after old Governor Dudley of the
Plymouth colony. His grandfather was a
lawyer of renown and In his law office
there was at one time, engaged in reading
law, the famous Daniel Webster.
Dudley Buck's father was a prominent
shipping merchant and the principal owner
of a line of steamboats which plied be
tween Hartford and New York; and It Is
Interesting to note that It was Dudley
Buck's father's steamboat which towed
the "Monitor" to Fortress Monroe before
Its ever memorable duel with the "Merrt
mac," that episode which marked a great
epoch In the world's history, which w-ss
pregnant with meaning In the development
of the United States, and Incidentally fur
ntsheA Inspiration for many Impassioned
similes and Illustrations In the flamboyant
orations of a generation gone by.
:hnTW Greene Hassard, the editor of
Joh
the. Nelr American Knoyelopedla, sometime
editor of the Catholic World, and Jit one
time musical and literary critic of the
New York Tribune, compares the boyhoo4
of Dudley Buck with that of the great
French wuslclan Hector fterlloi, In some
thing like the following words: "The
French composer was Intended for a doc
tor, and although his parents were willing
that he should amuse himself a little with
music they looked upon Art as a highly
objectionable career. Berllos taught him
self to play on an old flageolet, which he
found In an odd corner of the house; and
afterwards discovering some ancient books,
Ramoau's "Treatise on Harmony," he
spent many a night In the secret study of
Thoroudhbass; when his father, unable to
bear the shrieking flageolet any longer,
made him a present of a new flute' as a
palliative, the lad was already something
f a performer. . ....
Dudley Buck also borrowed a work on
Thoroughness (or as we would now say
on Harmony, of which thoroughbass- or
figured bass Is a part.)' This he secured
from one of the clerks In his father's em
ploy and at Us Intricacies he went to work.
He also managed to negotiate the loan of
a flute, and he. practised on that so dili
gently lils place of practice being up In a
cherry tree that when he did really get
possession of a flute, all his own, in his
thirteenth year, he was able to play quite
cridltably. Later he got a melodeon (for
pianos were not sold at SI a week then In
New England, and Musio and Art were not
honored with capital letters), and on this
melodeon he learned, without Any Instruc
tion, to play the accompaniments to some
of the Haydn and some of the Mosart
masses, and likewise the choruses of
Handel's best known oratorios.
He was 111 before his father overcame his
determination not to buy a piano, for the
young man to play upon, as he had re
marked, "It I had a daughter there would
be some sense In it." This Is quite Indica
tive of the attitude toward the musical
profebsloh on the part of those serious and
solid people.
But all honor to the parents of Dudley
Buck, for when they saw the trend and tal
ent of the diligent and earnest youth they
determined that If he were to be the mu
slcluiv there should be nothing left undone
to iTke him a good one. To the parents
of Dudley Buck the musical world Is In
debted today for that splendid determina
tion. He made a great and good musician,
as they had hoped. And the first to show
any special aptitude for music In the Buck
family In Its entire hlatoryl ,
Time and space are insufficient to go into
the period of his European experiences and
study; let it ba said In passing that he
worked for years In Europe from 1868 to
114, returning to this country In December
of the latter year. Under the masterly
guidance of Hauptinann and Rlohter he
atudled harmony and composition; under
Plaldy and Moscheles he studied the art of
piano playing; and oroheslration ha pur
sued under Klets, who had been the close
friend of Mendelssohn and the latter's suc
cessor as conductor of the Oewandhaus
concerts. In Leipzig he had as a fellow
student, at the then famous Conservatory,
the man who afterward was known to the
musloal world as Sir Arthur Sullivan. He
went to Dresden to study Bach under the
great organ teacher Schneider, and to his
great delight In a short time Rlets was ap
pointed to the post of conductor of the
Royal opera and Symphony concerts In
Dretden. Through this fortuitous circum
stance he was ablo to keep up two great
studies with two great musters at the same
time.
Last month, as the writer of this music
column of The Omaha Bee visited again
and again the Royal opera and talked of
Dudley Buck with the proprietor of the
Hotel Weber. Herr Binder, It did not seem
possible that the first article In The Bee
from the mustcal editor would be In rela
tion to the death of that dear old man.
Dudley Buck loved Dresden: when a stu-

SPECULATION TAKES LARGE ROLL
dent he had the opportunity to study the
stage and the orchestra and the opera, as
he had entree behind the scenes as well as
in front of them. And he loved to go back
there to Dresden. Herr Binder spoke with
the deepest affection of .. the genial mu
sician who had been staying at his comfor
table old hotel all winter and told of hav
ing recently received letters from Dudley
Buck In Paris, where he was staying at the
Hotel Gibraltar.
So much for digression. After spending a
year In Paris, where he studied in addition
to other branches the practice of organ
construction, he returned to the United
States In 1862. '
Dudley Buck went to Chicago and stayed
there until after the great disaster of the
Chicago fire, In which he lost his house,
his music room, where his organ recitals
were a feature of Chicago musical life,
his library and some valunhle manuscripts.
He had been organist at St. Jnmes church
for several years. From Chicago he"went
to Boston, where he was organist at the
great music hall, at St. Paul's church and
later at Shawmut Congregational church.
In 1S74 Dudley Buck was assistant con
ductor of Theodore Thomas' orchestra of
New York, a fact not generally known, I
and musical director of St. Ann's church, j
Manhattan, remaining until 1877. I
Dudley Buck was then organist and con
ductor of muslo at Holy Trinity ohurch.
Brooklyn, where he ended twenty-five
years' srvlce a quarter of a century in
one church In 1102. After thai he went
to the Brooklyn tabernacle.
There was muih In the newspapers at
the time of Dudley Buck's departure from
the Brooklyn Holy Trinity church, and the
Inference was that the clergyman or clergy
men in charge wished to curtail the mu
sical part of the service. At any rate Mr.
Buck resigned, and a writer In the Brook
lyn Eagle at that time stated that It was
a "strange coincidence that Dudley Buck
should have resigned so soon after Gull
roant, the noted organist at Holy Trinity
In Paris, handed In his resignation, be
cause of a serious disagreement with the
rector of that church."
It seems pathetic to read, after twenty
five years of honorable art work, these
words from a great man: "I have resigned
because I was musically discontented, and
because of sdme mustcal limitations. There
Is no friction or feeling. I believe I enjoy
the friendship of all In the church, and
the vestry, during my long years of ser
vice, has been most kind and generous."
He missed only two Sundays In the period
of activity,
Dudley Buck's contribution to musical
literature Is too well known and too ex
tended to enumerate In this place at this
time. He was a unique figure In the mu
stcal history of America. His position Is
unquestioned as being In the highest ranks
of our composers," nfid "one of the first
American composers ., to obtain general
recognition.'.', says Mr. I.ahee In' his book,
"The Organ and Its Masters."
And so "full of years- and honors"
Dudley Buck has passed onward to mount
the heights, and' W are left to -mourn a
while In the valley at eventide. But In
the memory ef his music we will find
that "at eventide It Mmll be light."

The unusual occurrence of a counterfeit

was originally Intended to represent by its

of old coins at the Colleotors' club In Philadelphia.
The coin was of excellent workmanship
and there was really no striking difference
between It and the genuine, but Instead
of being struck In gold It was composed of
platinum of the purest quality, which had

Mme. Melba's reported loss of fortune
Is attributed to the great expenses of
her way of living rather than to specula
tion, the usual means by which operatic
savings disappear. She had a house In
Park lane. London, which she biillt with
out regard to cost, and a home In Paris.
In recent years she has associated with
titled aristocracy of England, and that
costs money even In the case of a famous
prima donna. t
There she has not sung so frequently as
In former years, although her expenses
continued to Increase, notably after the
marriage of her son to the daughter of
an English general, a marriage that senn
ended In the divorce courts. How much
Mme. Melba's expenditures on the British
aristocracy helped her was shown by the
alacrity with which society establlshel
her rival at Covent Garden.

Jean de Reszke might have had little or

racing stable and entertaining t?,
grand dukes are expensive pastimes. He
came out all right, however, as his wife
has some fortune, and for ten months of
the year he earns 250 a day teaching.
Mme. Lehmann, who Is said to have
wiuea an her fortune to the Society for the
Prevention of Crulty to Animals In Berlin,
made her substantial fortune here aithn1.
she has not been In this country for seven
years. She must earn between $10,000 and
sio.uw a year by her appearances in Ger

country her success at the Metropolitan

nothing by being expelled from th n.
houses In the Cartel Vereln, however, for
ner earnings In America during one season
exceeaea what she could have made Ir

Berlin.
She saved her money. Invested In rent

Is her practice.

Mme. Nordlca did not get Into the list
01 me nign-priced prima donnas until much
later than many of the other singers. Dur
Ing the later years of her career her earn
ings were large.

operatic barriers must have decreased her
uusii sne is a popular singer
in concert, and there were never any signs
that she felt It necessary to decrease the

tracts that it was found Impossible to earry
out, so Mica Fremstadt consented to take
nan tne numDer of her guaranteed ap
pearanoes In concert, and it I. nn. nvh.
ble that she lost anything through that
change.
Mave. Sembrlch's Start.
Mme. Sembrlch, who has had a long
career and was at the top of the ladder
from the start, laid the foundation of her
fortune nhen Henry E. Abbey paid her
$150,000 and her expenses during her first
tour of this country. Since that time she
has been one of the highest paid of the
prima donnas and has sung every season
but one. She has invested her money and
is the prlclpal owner of a factory In Ger
many that turns out thousands of postal
cards and other prints that are smarted
to all parts of he world.
Emma Eames repaid the money advanced
for her musical education and stayed off
the stage altogether for several seasons,
but she had been so well naM f..r .v..
two or three seasons preceding her retire
ment mat she win always be beyond the
need of singing again unless ah .
And ske declares that she does not want to.
It Is not the singers who receive the
highest saiarles, haggle and scrap with
me managers over every penny and
squeeze out the last droo that and with
the largest amount of money. Sofia
Scalchl, the contralto, was never one of
the high-priced singers of the opera house,
dui sue managed to save enough to live
In comfort In Turin and educate for th.
bar her son. who Is a successful attorney
now.
Viator Maurel. mho has alwava remv
the largest salaries paid In Europe, began
to teacii so soon as he had lost his voice.
That used to be the way of all the singers,
as Mme. Msrlmon, Etelka Gerster and
others of their day proved. Clara Louisa
of
Kellogg saved ample money for her needs,
and now passes her time In comfort at her
Connecticut home and In Europe. Minnie
Hauck, first of the Carmena to make a
furor In New Tork. has her summer home
In Lueoerne and usually spends her win
ters traveling In Egypt or the Orient.
Mini Farrar Lives Economically.
Oeraldlne Farrar paid $80000 last seasm
to her former benefactor, and that prob
ably used up a large part of her earnings
for the year. She lives economically,
takes, her meals In the public cafe of the
hotel "in which she lives and shows no
tendency to extravagance.
Mary Gardner also settled some similar
Indebtedness Isst winter, and she Is prob
ably beginning Just now to earn enough
to save money, her salaries In Parle before
she came to this country hsvlng been
very smiill In comparison to the $1,100 that
Oscar Hammersteln pays her.
Probably the. largest outlay that the
great singers have la for their personal
ccstumes. and there are few of them that
do not have big bills with the Paris dress
makers.
Sig. Caruso's earnings are enormous
since he sings with the Metropolitan
opera company, and his contract calls for
approximately $100,000 every year. Yet he
has recently complained bitterly of the
large amount he was compelled to dis
burse on his family and more remote relatives.
It Is a characteristic of the high priced
singers ta be always waiting for the time
when they have paid off all their out
standing obligations and are going to
start In to save money. Somehow this
time never seems to arrive until after their
voices have begun to go and they are
compelled to crowd all the available pos
sible engagements Into the short time left
to them.
Rearing; Large Families.
Contraltos never receive as much as
the sopranos, but both Mmes. Hooper and
Schureann-Helnk have lived prudently
enough to save their money. Invest It in
real estate and buy homes In which they
are rearing large families. Another singer
who has accumulated a comfortable fortune
Is Slg. Scottl, who has not only been pru
dent in his expenditures, but well ad
vised In his Investments,
Andreaa Dlppel never had a salary like
Caruso's, but he was always very well
paid and had put aside a comfortable for
tune by the time he stepped Into a salary
of $30,000 a year as conductor of the Metropolitan.
Angelo Maslnl, the great Italian tenor,
who came Into European Importance first
In 1876 when. he created Rhadames In the
production of Verdi's "Alda" In Paris, wont
back to St. Petersburg to sing two years
ago, although he was well over 60. The
reason was the entire loss of his
large fortune, which he had In
trusted to a friend for Investment,
only to see It fade away within a few
months. Italo Campanlnl, who earned a
fortune here, lost It In unsuccessful oper
atic speculation, largely through his pro
duction of "Otello" here, and Slegmund
Mierzurnsksi, who died the other day in
Paris, spent all his money In his way of
living and was all penniless when his
vole suddenly failed him. Yet for a
while he was the highest paid tenor in
Europe. '
Emello dl Marchl had almost the same
experience, and for the years from 1S9J to
1900 .received enormous sums In South
America and dpaln, where he sang with
Hercla Dardee, He got $2,000 a night when
he was here with Colonel Mapleson In 1896.
Nowadays, however, he is singing In
obscure companies at an obscure salary.
Had His Brother for Valet.
Francesco Tamagno probably left a for
tune, as his compensation had been large
the world over and his enonomles were re
markable. He had his brother for a valet.
used to try to sell the two orchestra seats
that went to him by his contracts on the
nights ho sang, and was threatened with
suit by a hotel for the damage ha did to
the bath room when he cooked macaroni
there. He never lost any of his money
through extravagant living.
ihe actresses of an older generation
seem to have been much more fortunate in
their Investments than some of those who
succeeded them. Maggie Mitchell has lived
for more than twenty years in retirement
on the fortune she made and kept while an
actress. LotU Crabtree Is Just as rich.
and Henrietta Chapman, who died on her
New Jersey farm the other day, has kept

Mrs. Barney Williams, who died in her
home on the upper west side a few years
ago, left the fortune that belonged to her
and her husband- Mary Anderson had.
when she retired from the stage to marry
a rich New Yorker, most of the thousands
she had earned during her career.
Fanny Davenport used to be accounted
the richest of American actresses, but she
left nothing. Richard Mansfield's fortune
was much less than it was supposed to be.
Joseph Jefferson left behind him an estate
said to be almost $600,000. Helena Modjeska
had scarcely anything but a few personal
trinkets to leave behind, with the excep
tlon of her estate in California. Most of
that had been sold, moreover, long before
her death.
