S3" MERRY MUSIC ECHOES AT THE FAIR - Pen Picture of Frederick Neil Lines and His Band His Wonderful Cornet Sokxst, Bohumir Kryl. s floats over Guild's Lake from the Innes Band at the Lewis and Clark Exposition that the birds in the trees have become so jealous that they have stopped their singing to listen. "Ah!" they say, "A music rival has come." Next to the natural beauty of the Ex position itself, as an attraction, is the roll of music that floats over the lake every afternoon and evening, called into being' by the baton of Fred crick JCeil Innes. At every Exposition Held in this country for several "years, Mr, Innes and his band have either attended the opening or they have given concerts there. Many compliments were show ered on the excellent programme of high-class and popular music played by the band Thursday, when the Ex position was opened, and it was re marked -more than once by competent judges that the Exposition manage ment had displayed good, sound busf ness judgment in choosing the Innes hand for such a responsible position. " I've Kites liuici. rcimtu jJiuhioiuiugi' i 1 with pretty, melodious tone color, ra- j thcr seeking quality than quantity. I i This Is seen in his easy, quiet style of j conducting, ajid the fact that there . are so many reed Instruments in his ? band and so few brasses. Creatore Is I a dark-visaged Italian, tempestuous, exrltable, a mass of energy marked by waving arms And dishevelled hair. In res is a typical Anglo-Saxon, an edu cated musician, master of his band, and who directs it so quietly but oh, yet how firmly, that he doesn't seem to exhaust himself. Innes is not above joking with his men. Last Friday afternoon, during a lull be tween numbers, when the men were rest ing. Innes suddenly said: "Two people are about to leave. They are going upstairs row. Try if we can't keep them." In stantly he directed Foster'.s paraphrase, "My Old Kentucky Home," and the two people who were about to leave the scene stopped, brought under the pell of music. A breeze sprang up from the lake, and. although the men of the Innes band pinned their sheets of music to their music stands, the wind blew one musician's sheet music to the floor. Innes saw it, and when the number was concluded he softly remarked to Bohumir Kyrl. the fa mous cornet soloist with the band; "Mr. Kyrl. I wish you would please do some thing to prevent this man's eheet music from leaving bim." Mr. Kyrl, who is alo assistant conductor of the band, quickly remarked: "I will hold the music sheets myself." The men smiled. These and' other incidents went to show that the Innes band is a happy family. I am very much gratified at the kind reception my band has met with in Port land in opening this Exposition." said Mr. Innes, afterward. "As yet we suffer fron slight disadvantages in being placed in a location where the wind sweeps upon us over the lake, but this will be remedied lri a day or two. and then the people will, I am sure, all the better enjoy our music We shall be found at this stand every af ternoon and evening during my engage ment, excepting iu rainy weather, when we shall play In the AuJitorium. On spe tlal evenings I shall give concerts of 'really high-class music, but will not for get those who prefer what is called pop ular music." Mr. Kryl. the cornet soloist with the Innes Band, Is one of the most cele brated cornet soloists In the worlJ. and his art Is so marvelous that It would be difficult to flpd h equal anvwhere He was born In Bohemia 29 ears ago. and his mass of fluffy fair hair is like a halo. Fifteen years ago ne oame to live In tnls country, and eight-years ago wjfs soloist for Sousa. For five years Kryl studied with Mr. Innes and has been a valued member of the latter's band for seven years, During certnin seasons of the year, 'nowever. Kryl directs Kls own concert company. His cornet playing Is what Is known as an eye-opener It is so unexpected. His top notes are exe cuted with absolute purity, and his low notes, well, he makes, a cornet Imitate a trombone. His cornet? It is largely made of gold and was a present to Kryl bv a millionaire friend. C. G. Conn. f Elkhart, Ind. One of Kryl' favorite solos is "King Carnival."

Leon Dean, eranloyed as a messenger by a local company, went Into August Eschele's saloon to telephone last Tues day night, and came out with both eyes blackened. The liquor-dealer was arrest ed, as was also A. Flnley. and after all of the facts were related to Judge Hogue, Kscheie was released and Flnley fined. It was dark in the rear room, where the telephone was located, and the messenger boy said he could not see to find his number. Eache'e went back to see what took the lad so long. He had suspicions. he said, as his place bad been robbed several times.. He was not satisfied with the actions of the boy, and ordered him out. The lad started, and met Flnley, who, according to his own admissions, struck the messenger. The messenger boy appeared in court with his head done up in bandages. .Tnhn Rav wa arrested bv" Patrolman. Endlcott, and a charge of stealing old brass was at first placed. Later, when the facts became more definitely known. Deputy City Attorney ntzgeram iiica a charge of burglary. The defendant was arraigned before Judge Hogue and plead- ed not guilty. " His case was set for hear ing next Tuesday. Bay Is charged with breaking Into tha Junk shop of Freedman Bros., 314 Ever ett street, and carting away a lot of old brass.

Here Is a Chinese story Illustrating the value of chest tones In singing: A Ghtnese magistrate with the wisdom of Solomon once caught out a gang of thieves by putting . them through the singing test. Their ren dezvous wa externally like a Christian chapel, and when the authorities suspected -something and arrested the gang the latter swore they were Christian converts. "Then pray, you rascalsv" quoth the magistrate. The thieves knelt and produced a good Imi tation ot praying. ."Now preach, j-ou ras cals." he demanded. They passed that test wtth equal satisfaction. "Very well." said the magistrate, "now sing." Alas! the fel lows could only sing the native falsetto. You scoundrels." thundered the Chinese Solomon, "you are no more Christians than am."

Of American folk-song there Is a quantity so vast, and ot se poetic and appealing a quality, that It Is sate to say that Its possi bilities of development wilt endure as long as there remain possibilities of development In American .civilization- By reason ot the composite nature of America's humanity, all the world's folk-song might b regarded as legitimate material for development by na tive material for development by native composers. But among the many branches of folk-song that thrive In different parts of the land, owing to the various nationali ties of our pioneers, certain varieties .pre dominate In quantity and In the extent of their absorption into and Influence upon American life, says a correspondent. But first we must consider our Indisputable naT tlve folk-song, the popular street music, "ragtime." Antonln Dvorak said that no nation In the world has such Interesting street music a ouraelve. "Ragtime" pre vails in every city and town of the United States today. It Is not only the musical utterance of the uncultured. It 1 the deter mining factor In the muslial life. of almost the entire nation of educated American youth today. Look on the pianos ot a thousand American homes, chosen at random, of the rich and the poor, the cultured and the Ignorant, wherever there are young people you will find always the sonatas of Bee thoven, placed there by the music teacher, and a goodlv assortment of ragtime, placed there by the pupil, who plays the Beethoven laboriously or Indifferently, and the rhythmic Intricacies ot the ragtime with Incredible ease 'and unbounded spirit. Whatever this prenomeuon may signify. It is at least to he reckoned with. Ragtime has vital and spark ling rhythms, wholesome and Invigorating melodies, and lacks only seriousness of treatment a folk-song capable of being ar tistically developed, to let Its freshness stand forth shorn ot It present insignificant and trivial setting. It I told of a certain Lord Holland, who was very eccentric that he used to give his horses weekly concert in a gallery especially erected for the purpose. He maintained that It cheered their hearts and Improved their temper, and a witness says that they seemed to be delighted with the performance Much has been written of the effect of music upon animals. The American Naturalist gives some of the results of the experiments made In Lincoln Park. Chicago, to determine the effect of violin playing on dine rent- an iron. Moalc which wa slow and sweet, like "Home. Sweet Home," or "Annie Laurie." pleased the. panther, a Jagsar and a Hones and her cubs. The panthers became nervous and twitched their tall when a lively Jig.

When the player ceased and walked awar. the Jaguar reacted out his paw hla a tar as he could with clawa retracted. The Ilontse and her cub were Interested from the first, although, when the violinist approached the cage the mother gave him a hiss and the cubs bid behind her. At the claying of a lively Jlr the cub stood up on their Mad legs and peeped over at the player. When the musician retreated from the cage th animals came to th. front ot it. and did not wove back when he gradually drew, so i Mttr a alsicet to tocX tse great paws tat were thrust through the bars.

When It ceased they ran up and pawed at the player through the bars. He began afresh, and again they formed In a silent semicircle.
