MUSICAL MENTION,
John Randolph.
Our dear Sieveking has a talent for
interviews. In last Sunday's New York
Journal under the head, "A genius in
Nebraska."' One year in Bryan's town
was quite enough for this pianist.
Sieveking inspires the following:
There is a queer chapter in the history
of Martinus Sioveking, the young Dutch
pianist, that is generally unknown. As
this is his first American tour there is a
general impression abroad that it is his
w first appearance in America. But the
fact is that he spent the year of 1894-95
in Ihis country, and of all the remote
and out of-tho-way places in this coun
try, in Lincoln, Neb., the town that
awoke one morning to find itself famous
through William Jennings Bryan.
In lb93 Sioveking came over to the
"World's Fair and established himself in
Chicago as a private piano teacher, be
ing at the time plent fully supplied with
funds from home. Xow, Chicago is al
ways over-run with piano teachers, and
it is not an easy place for a new man to
start, even if he brings recommendations
'dirictly from the Cotservatoire of Paris.
Besides, Sieveking ii eminently a ir
" Iuoeo rather than an instructor. It was
not long, however, before tho musicians
of Chicago discovered they had a re
markable man among them, and Clar
ence Eddy and the young Hollander be
came fast friends.
About that time Mr. Willard Kimball
was about to open a musical conserva
tory a: Lincoln in connection with the
State University of Nebraska. He was
ia search of a first-class piano teacher,
and Eddy recommended Sieveking. Just
at that lime Sieveking was low in funds
and generally "down on his luck." Kim
ball offered him 6,000 a year, with var
ious perquisites, and the desperate
young man recklessly Bigned a three
year contract without even s'opping to
investigate as to the sort of place he
was going to.
The practical, bustl'ng west proved a
prison of the dreariest description to the
artist On'y the women there have time
to study music Of these he found that
few had any talent, and lie frankly told
them so whenever he felt inclined to
lo so.
His nerves began to break down and
at the end of a jear he broke his con
tract and left the town. But he was not
even to leave quietly. The morning of
his departure his dog, Tad, got into
trouble with a policeman, and Sieveking
laid the policeman flat on his back, and
-when the two officers fell upon him, ho
handle! them in exactly the same way.
The result was that he rode to his train
in a patrol wagon.
Last winter, soon a'tcr his departure
from Lincoln, he made his debut in Bos
ion. His first appierance there cast tho
die. His career since then, his myster
ous disappearance last spring and his
return to America are know to every one.
And the amusing part of it is that if he
had kept his contract he might still be
teaching little girls out on the pbins to
.play their scales, instead of being the
. idol of the most cultivated music-loving
.public.

Cod-liver oil is something more than a fat. Its peculia

might be mentioned iodine and phosphorus. There can be
no substitute for cod-liver oil, because there is no other oil

oil, with its natural properties, and in a thoroughly emulsified
or digested condition. The hypophosphites increase the
appetite and impart strength to the nervous system. This
combination has marked curative properties in a number of
diseases of the skin and scalp, to which scrofulous persons
arc peculiarly liable. Such diseases as chronic eczema, ring

the constitutional effects following the use of Scott's Emulsion.
