Edward MacDowel! at the prime of
life Is left with his delicate, highly,
organized brain a poor broken Instru
ment. Americans can not escape
share of responsibility for that tragic
fact. America le rich In material pos
cessions, but It bat no artlytlc geniuses
to spare: yet America has let auch a
man as MacDowell work hlmeelf out
Into final dumbnesa. It la not credita
ble to ue. We have made the com.
poser of that once popular but now
forgotten ditty, "After the Ball," rich
so It le reported—but we have been
content to see the compoeer of the
"Indian Suite," the "Sonata Traglca,"
"Hamlet and Ophelia," the "Keltic
Sonata," the "Sea Piece,,” (upplement
his exacting but nnprofltable labor of
compoaltlon with the very moderately
remunerative routine of the clasa room
for the eake of a living. Even this
compensation he was not permitted to
receive to the end. Ae Dr. van Dyke
hae said, "America was proud of Mac-
Dowell, and paid him In praise abund
antly—but not much In money."
Now that his fertile brain, his one
resource, has failed him, he must be
dependent upon others for his comfort
to the end. It Is but poor reparation
that we can make: we can offer It.
however, by responding to the appeal
for contributions to the Ed sard Mac-
Dowell fund of the Mendelssohn Glee
(hub. This fund will be administered
for two purpose* first and primarily,
the support of Edward MacDowell;
second, the perpetuation of bis name In
some fitting manner. In considering
plana for the second purpose, the com
mittee in charge has decided "to ad
here, so far aa possible, to Mr. Mac-
Dowell'a own plan for devoting the
of Mr. and Mrs. MscDotvell, at
Peterboro, New Hampshire, to thejiur-
potes which he had most at heart. His
hope, which It will thus be possible to
realize, was, the committee Hates, "to
make of thla place a resting spot for
students In all the arts, where quiet
work and close companionship could
be had—a modest sum being paid dur
ing residence In order to clear It of a
possible accusation of Us being a char
itable Institution."
A few years ago there was organized
the MacDowell Club of New York City,
for the purpose of promoting the artis
tic Ideals which Mr. MacDowell has
by word and practice upheld. To tills
club the property In Peterboro has been
offered, and the cordial co-operation of
the club in the plan has been secured.
The appeal on behalf of this fund has
been signed by men conspicuous In va
rious activities; such public men ae
Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Choate. Mr. Cortel-
you, Mr. Jeromei such financial and
Industrial leaders as Andrew Carnegie,
J. Plerpont Morgan, Jacob H. Schlff:
such philanthropic and educational
leaders as Seth Low, Robert C. Ogden,
and Henry L. Hlggtnson: such com
posers as Arthur Foote, Horatio Par
ker. Victor Herbert, F.-8. Converse and
Charles Loeffler; such conductors as
Emil Paur, of the Pittsburg Orchestra,
Frederick A. Stock, of the Chicago Or
chestra. Frank Damrosch, of New York,
and Bishop Potter; and a number of
the best-.knoWn musical critics. This
list of names shows not only how thor
oughly this plan Is Indorsed by men of
standing, but also how widely the mu
sic of Edward MacDowell Is appreciat
ed In hi, own country. Contributions
may be sent to E. C. Benedict, Ireasur.

OF CONFEDERACY.
As Is well known, a proposition has
been made to erect a monument,to the
heroism of ffie women of the Confed
eracy. commemorative of their devotion
and their sacrifice.
Mr*. C. W. Richmond, corresponding
secretary of the Ladles' Memorial As
sociation, of Memphis, Tenn., In writ
ing of this matter says:
“The proposed monument Is not to
ourselves, as they seem to Interpret it.
but to our mothers and grandmothers,
who heroically suffered, endured sacri
fices and - encouraged our soldiers ‘.o
stand )>y their posts, ever, after hope
of success was gone
■it Is a mistake to say that the time
is not ripe for this monument. Now Is
the time It should be built. Later gen
erations might be tempted to Include us
—the women of today—In the hontr
which we certainly do not deserve.
"We are the women to help raise the
monument of ovjr dear mothers and
grandmothers of the days of '61-'65.
“For we, as little children, stood at
their knees and saw their faces blanen
tears fall, and heard the cry of agony
as the roar of cannon reverberated over
the distant hills of Chtckamauga; r
as the letter was read telling of dear
ones slain at 'Seven Pines.' or of the
■Wilderness.’ or even worse, of brothers
and sons wounded and languishing >n
overcrowded hospitals, where there was.

•'We, then, are Indeed the ones to rear
this monument, and let It be don* at
once. Our grand old veterans, who
knew the Confederate woman’s worth,
us well ns we. should have the honor
and privilege of planning It.
"Let It he erected In the capital of
the Confederacy."
