1THE MUSICAL COURIER.
3616 Twelfth Street, N. W., WASHINGTON, January 19, 1901.
5SOME interesting observations on the dormititis pleuritis headachebus don't-care-a-dotibus germs, commonly known as grip, and to their psychological effect on the human system may be of value to the public, and as music columns of the present day contain everything from a consideration of women's rights to a comparative table of the avoiduposis of the various sopranos and contraltos who have the misfortune to appear on the New York concert stage, a discussion of the psychological effect of grip may not be out of order. No extra charge for the paper will be made. one of two readings

8While ill with this undesirable malady, after discovering that my sense of discrimination in the matter of taste and smell was somewhat affected, I was suddenly startled by the observation that my mental apparatus was behaving most singularly in the department known as association of ideas. I found myself thinking entirely irrelevant thoughts, and supposing them to be perfectly connected, until something brought me to a sharp standstill and I realized that I had been day dreaming. Trying to recall the stages through which I had passed in reaching the last irrelevant thought, I could not remember them.
10I determined that I would not again be foiled in my observations and fixing my attention firmly on the thought "chicken broth," I kept close watch to see that no further thought should enter my mind without my knowledge. Here is the result of my observations: The thought "chicken broth" led naturally to "McKinley prosperity," and this led to a discussion I imagined between two strange men about the Stock Exchange. The first man said: "How's Wall Street?" The second man answered "Boisterous!" (whatever that means). Then the first man said "Gossip!" (an exclamation of surprise).
12"This won't do," I thought, and I pulled myself together again and fixed my mind firmly on the thought "chicken broth." This time the thought suggested a strange man at a telephone. The telephone wasn't working right, and he couldn't hear what the man at the other end was saying. He stood a long way to the left of the speaking tube with the receiver at his ear. Not being able to catch the sounds, he withdrew to the right side of the telephone desk, and then remarked to no one in particular: "Do you follow me?"
14Here I gave up in despair and let the chicken broth go.
16Many kind expressions about The Musical Courier have been heard in Washington recently.
18Joseph Kaspar said: "It is a wonderful paper, as it gives one an account of the musical happenings throughout the civilized world. The columns by James Huneker and Philip Hale are great features of the paper. Hale is a man who criticises fearlessly from a full understanding. He is a perfect encyclopedia of musical knowledge, and Huneker is very clever. The correspondence of Otto Floersheim is also a most valuable adjunct to the paper. I have been a subscriber to The Musical Courier for years, and consider that it stands alone in its particular field of usefulness."

47Earl Gulick.
49IT is a long time since the old Lee Avenue Congregational Church, one of Brooklyn's largest churches, has held such congregations as crowded the edifice the last two Sunday evenings. Earl Gulick, the boy soprano, was the soloist there on Sunday, January 13, when the church was crowded to the doors. The announcement that he would be the soloist last Sunday evening filled the church to the doors and hundreds of disappointed ones filled the stairs unable even to get a glimpse of the talented boy. Earl sang magnificently; his clear, true voice penetrated the vast edifice and he was easily heard out in the corridors. He will again be the soloist next Sunday evening. The following is from the Brooklyn Eagle of January 16:
51EARL GULICK'S RECITAL.
53Under the auspices of the Boys' Mission Band of the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church, a song recital was given by Earl Gulick, the wonderful boy soprano, in that edifice, before a large audience, last evening. He was assisted by Harry Stewart Briggs, pianist. Earl Gulick was down on the program for seven selections, adding "The Holy City" by request. In all of his work he received much applause, and responded to a number of encores. He was particularly good in Jensen's "Murmuring Zephyr," "Home, Sweet Home," the Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Angels Ever Bright and Fair." Mr. Briggs proved himself an excellent pianist, and earned frequent applause.
55And this from the Brooklyn Times of January 14 tells the same story:
57CROWDS AT THE LEE AVENUE CHURCH.
59There was not room enough in the Lee Avenue Congregational Church last night to accommodate the crowds that desired to attend the service, and many were unable to gain admission after all available floor space had been filled with chairs. Earl Gulick was the special attraction, and he sang several selections in his own inimitable style. He will be heard at that church again next Sunday.
