204great souled, big hearted man, straight as a mast on a man-of-war and full of universal art ardor. The Americans are specially privileged in having him as guest, as artist and as a friend.
206Madame Ram, of St. Servan, closed the August days by a brilliant musical reunion, in which various artists on various instruments were heard with enthusiasm. M. Aigre, flutist; Mlle. Gaconnetti, M. Nandès and M. La Taste, as vocalists; M. Samson, as 'cellist; Madame Gouirand-Gentil and Madame Ram, as pianists, had grand success. The program was largely classic, the Rams being of that privileged sect. Madame Ram played the sonata in E flat for piano and flute with M. Aigre.
208Mme. Polak von Elsner, sister of Litta, herself a singer, is living in Brussels. She has recently lost both husband and mother. She expects soon to leave for America, where her sister is very ill. Among her friends in Brussels is the well-known cantatrice, Mme. Dyna Beumer, who is going to America next winter. The latter's husband is chef d'orchestra in Brussels and both are great favorites. The Queen is greatly interested in the American tour and invited Mrs. Potter Palmer to hear the singer at the former's villa in Brussels.
210The tenor Escalais was prevented from passing his customary season at Mont Dore this year by being called as a member of the jury in the Conservatoire during the vocal examinations. After that concert engagements at Spa left but a short season at the nearest seashore, whence he, with his talented wife, return in a few days to recommence their vocal work in Paris. (See page 8.)
212Mme. Aita R. Bibbins, of Indiana, the well-known vocal teacher in several colleges there, has arrived to study with Trabadelo. She is installed in an apartment "on the other side."
214During the month of September the Institut Polytechnique, of Paris (see page 3), is open to supplemental study for pupils preparing for superior classes or for children retarded in instruction. Foreign languages and accomplishments are also taught in private lessons, and interesting promenades are made in the Bois and environs under special direction.
216Friends of Margaret Reid are proud of her London success this season, but Margaret Reid herself is still more proud of a prize won by her Great Dane dog Mephisto at the Ladies' Kennel Association, Regents Park, London, where all the "swell dogs" were exhibited, including five of the Princess of Wales'. Mephisto's grandfather, by the way, is in the Jardin d'Acclimatation, Paris.

226SPEAKING of grandfathers, your RAconteur isn't in it. I had a very distant uncle called Tetzel the Monk. Commissioned by the Pope, he traveled around selling indulgences, cheap or high priced, accompanied by his two sons, an unusual thing for a Dominican friar to do. Martin Luther, who married a nun, and who, by living in a glass house had no business to play with a sling shot, denounced him. They had lots of fun in Wurms, burning each other's sermons, &c. Not long ago I noticed that a Martin Luther was to be admitted to the ministry, and here am I a Tetzel doing business at the old stand. I am going to write him a letter, as follows:
228Martin Luther:
229DEAR FRIEND—Times is hard, business is dull; while still in business, I have a large stock of able-bodied indulgences left on my hands, which I would like to dispose of at any price. What will you give me for one good A1 indulgence, dated ahead, and good for any crime? Have also a good, heavy inkstand, useful for throwing at the devil. Hope you will not get in the condition of seeing devils often, unless you have a special indulgence—price, $1.50—for the sin of intemperance. Let me hear from you soon. The Pope sends love, and says your sermons made fine lamp lighters. Your old friend, TETZEL.
231Should auld acquaintance be forgot? Never!

235I have golden dreams for Milwaukee—dreams which never will be realized. Of that there is no doubt, absolutely none. Our location is beautiful; beautiful houses seem to be flung down among the fresh trees, trees made more beautiful by contact with the blue lake which serves as a background; the streets are like white ribbons dropped in thick grass to mark a path; the air near the lake, and especially where I live, is heavy with the perfume of sweet clover, white and red clover, golden-rod and long grass. I can look out of my window and see wild rose bushes growing between the cracks in the sidewalk; but this is a suburb; other streets are more orderly and crowded. Milwaukee everywhere is lovely. The country is rolling and wooded, the landscape almost always smiling save when the days are dark and the lake gloomy or angry. Where nature has done so much would it not be ideal if we had a correspondingly beautiful mental and art life, if we had serene, pure pursuits beyond the comprehension of animals, whose mode of life we have for generations past made our own? It would be a great aid if good fellowship, magnanimity, kindliness, reigned among our artists and musicians, instead of their present cut-throat policy.
237Suppose we spent as much money toward cultivating our tastes and the general public by means of the arts as we now waste in many ways. Suppose, in some of these wooded spots along the lake, conservatories of pretty, graceful architecture, with corps of competent teachers, nestled. Suppose pupils came to these conservatories from all parts of the States and from the neighboring States, and if sometimes their means were insufficient and their abilities good, they were assisted in the right way. Suppose we had built around a quadrangle a vocal school, a violin school, a piano school, a dramatic school, a theory and harmony school, a school where one could learn to play upon the other orchestral instruments; an art, design and architectural school, a gymnasium and a chapel—a regular university of art. Suppose, also, among these buildings was a hall for orchestral concerts, a theatre for the pupil recitals and for the operas given by the advanced pupils; an art gallery where could be found the pictures painted by the advanced art pupils, or the artists from the city; these pictures could be bought by the university.
239Suppose the institutions were sought by the scores of bright, talented pupils, now leading lives of penury, discomfort and loneliness in strange lands, or in the larger, more dangerous, unwholesome cities of America. And suppose Milwaukee took a fervent interest in these institutions and in the pupils, urging them on, supporting and encouraging them. Suppose! Oh, just suppose! And then if we had a large, well trained orchestra to give symphony concerts, to instruct and assist the pupils, and if our musicians could make money enough for the barest necessities of life without leading a dog's life by playing in saloons, and if the people would spend in music, books, pictures the money
