CHINESE .MUSIC AUD DRAMA. Melodies of tlie Dent Are Not \ltOßetlier Hnd. From the Chicago Post. Those who remember the wild blast of trumpets, accompanied by the monotonous l>,.t of the drum and the spasmodic ring f o: bells, that characterized the music , n ih* Chinese Pavilion in the Midway p.aisance, or have ever seen a Chinese f un eial procession on its melancholy m arch ro the graveyard, may have 5.. me idea of Chinese melody. jhe American, however, who has not traveled in the Orient and forms his opin ion from the performances he has' heard it tn;.- country, and more particularly in ( ni >?<>. not do justice to the Chinese ar ti>.-musician. The music furnished bv , >lrstials of Chicago's Chinatown is jittie cotter than a rude orgy, and would be considered almost a parody by the cul tured of China; even that of the more lal eniod artists of ilie Son Francisco settle- m p n t or even of Pell or Mott street in \ T ew york is mediocre; but the melodies heard ,n the t elestial Empire itself are, in the word of an Englishman, "Not half bad. ’ Chinese music*, like many of the sci-. cnc - ? , i* said to have been invented by the celebrated Emperor Fuh-he, who lived B. . :737. To his genius is attributed t; , first ‘ She," a sort of lute, made after , . fashion of the later instruments with which Nero is supposed to have avmpanied the crackling flames of burning Rome. The first Fuh he lute had twenty-five strings, v a iegt nd tells that a damsel one day r ivtd on one such instrument before the Emperor Hwang-ie a tune so direful that tmonarch become affected toi melan choly and ordered that the number of M* m-s should thereafter be reduced by half. traditions without number are associat- M with the origin of nearly every musical instrument in use in China at the present <iav Siring and reed instruments, such as were used by the aboriginal tribes, were the first, known. Next camv the drums, which w< re first used to inJite warriors on the battlefield to deeds of valor. There are many kinds of drums, distinguished b names indicating their size and use. Stone preceded metal as a musical sub- Ptnn. * In the earliest classics musical * tones are mentioned. Sixteen in number were hung by a cord, and the performer pounded out the strains with a smad mal let. The stones used by emperors were made of jade. Though with most peoples the. trumpet has been given first place among metal instruments, in China the bell takes pre cedence. The sound is ma#e by striking the rim witli a stick. The use of the hell as a musical instrument is, however, largely confined to religious services ana procession. Not unusually it is concert ed with other instruments. The poet writes of the expedition of King Yew to the Hwal: Kin kin peal the bells, peal on. And the lutes in the concert w*e hear. breathes the organ tone; Sounding-stones join their notes, rich and clear. The while through the vessel there ring The Ya and the Nan which they sing. And the dancers with flutes now appear. The gong is even more popular than the beli. The Chinese gongs are of three kinds —the temple gong, the Sooehow gong, which is shaped "like a boiler," and tho watch gong, which is used to strike the watches or divisions of time. The gong i c probably the most conspicuous at a theatrical performance of any of the vari ous instruments. It is supposed also o strike terror into evil spirits. Flutes, fifes, conch shells, clarinets and the reed organ are the commonest wind instruments. The latter is made by in serting nineteen reed tubes into the upper surface of a gourd. The reeds are pierced rear the base to prevent the emission of sound until stopped by the fingers of the performer. The mouthpiece resembles the spout of a kettle, and is inserted in the side of the gourd. The favorite instru ment among the more cultured Chinese are stringed. These include the she, the k in. which is said to "restrain and check evil passions and correct the human heart;" the p’l-p’n. a four-stringed guitar; the yueh k’in. or "moon k’in," named from its moon-shaped soundboard, which has four strings standing in pairs, tuned as fifths to each other, and the Su-chun, o/ "standard lute," which has twelve strings, yielding exactly the notes of the twelve Luh, or tubes, Invented by Ling iun. From the beginning of the recorded his tory of China until the* present day music has at all times had an important place in Lh< political system of the Chinese. Its influence on the “people and .the forming of their character, either for good or evil, has never been underestimated. Confu c’.uf said: "It gives finish to a character fit st established by the rules of proprie ty " Since Confucius time has done noth ing to lessen the Chinese belief in the in estimable value of music. At the present flay there exists an imperial board of mu sic. appointed for the purpose of keeping nlive the music of the ancients and of cxe rising a strict censorship over all compositions. Th* influence of the drama upon the teojle is nominal compared with the in fluence. of music. Its tendency is demor alizing. rather than elevating. Granted that the chief aim of the Chinese olay w right is ro exalt virtue, he appeals to contrast as his lest means. So, in his praiseworthy effort to proclam the triumph of morality and truth, the char a ter (f the villain is revealed in the broadest colors. No softening lines miti gate his villainy. He is so sordid, so base, pc wretched that the after-taste of the I' rayal of his temperament contami ra?,s the recollection of the good and its tin ii achievement. Rotii the hero and the villain are raint ri in extremes. The 5 r characters ar* a udy in black .and jyhite. The one is just fis Incapable of bad as the o'her is of Pood. The hero in every case is marvel ouly accomplished. In him are combined the strength of Hercules, the bravery of Hector of Troy, the wisdom of Nfstor and the piety of Aeacus. He is Invariably simple of manner and modest. His closing role scarcely with out exception is to defend the oppressed. * ,r alghten the crooked paths of the cor r V't officials and redress every wrong. As * ■ wiling reward of his merit and chas. tir > he is given a supreme position in the i ""ate, and imperial favors are lavished 11 pen him.

They are droll or ghostly, noth ing more. But. th€*ir very drollery and ghatliness fascinate. The absence of all scenery on the Chi nese stage makes it necessary for each performer to explain who he is, where he is, and the object of his being there. This causes considerable awkwardness and de lay. A change of scene is indicated by an anno* moment by the actor. "Now I’m at such and such a place,” he says, "and have come here for so and so. There are trees to my left and moun tains behind me and here is a little liver,” etc. The collection of Chinese dramas is known as the "Hundred Plays of the Yuen Dynasty.” The moral tone of these is better than in most modern works, ♦ hough if judged by an American critic they would he pronounced decidedly coarse. The poverty of imagination is the most noticeable fault in nil Chinese dramas. There is an old tradition that Bums a man’s character in ten parts. If seven are good and three bad the good will pre dominate and the bad be buried with his tones. If the reverse, the three good parts are relegated to the grave and only the bad left to tell his story. If the Chinese drama should be judged by Us present standard without regard to its promises doubtless the good parts would be buried. The great advance in the Japanese drama in the last few years, however, v/ould argue that wfith the intro duction of foreign influences in China the native drama will improve with equal ra pidity, and China may yet have a Danjuro. GARDENS OF THE VATICAN’. , Everything Within the Walls, In cluding the Men, I* Old. Rome Letter in the Argonaut. More interesting to me than visits to 'he Vatican are visits to the Vatican gar dens. For a number of years the gar dens have been closed to the public. The guidebooks say nothing of them, the pho tographers have no views of them on i=nlo. Therefore, when we learned that the Valuer, gardens were to he tempo rarily thrown open to the pilgrims, we hastened thither, for we are pilgrims, too We found to our delight that the other pilgrims apparently had not yet learned of it, for the gardens were practically de sertfd. For on hour we wandered through them and met no man—or woman, either, as Hamlet Bays—save two or three aged gar deners. For all things in the Vatican ga*dons, even the gardeners, seem to be old. The gardens are not many acres in extent, but they seem much larger than they really are. The walks and drives are laid out with much skill and ore shut oft by lofty boxwood hedges. It is possible, therefore, to wander for a long distance without retracing one’s steps. The gar dens are a quaint andv pleasing mixture of primness and wildness. Immediately at the entrance you find some acres of flower-beds, laid out in the etiffest style of Italian landscape gardening. But leav ing this in n winding walk which climbs a hill you are speedily lost in a forest of trees which shuts off the view com pletely. Here you might bclievq yourself far from a city, were it not that you dis tinctly hear the muffled roar of Rome. Under the dense shade of these ancient Uees are old fountains, old statues, old arches, old columns—everything is moss grown end old. Ferns grow luxuriantly in this dense and humid shade—delicate maidens-hair as w’ell as the more hardy brakes. The hillside climbed, we come out of the shade and into the sun. On the unnv side of the hill there is a small vineyard, a small orchard, a small poultry yard, ft small deer park and a email ostrich pen. Here there are several pavilions, or sum mer houses, which the Pope at limes oc cupies. and from which magnificent views may he had of Rome and the Campagna. At this point one of the venerable gar denei? approached us, and with much im pressiveness led us to a summer house and showed us n peephole, through which ve could see the very chair in which the Holy Fathc- had sat. Price, twenty cents. But ; the gardener was an amusing old soul, and. seeing a chance of another Up, he escorted us around the "ranch” for the mixture of orchard, vineyard and poultry j yard inevitably suggested that term. Here ! We encountered two tourist priests, who, : seeing that the gardener was acting as | cicerone, immediately followed and listen ed to his prattle. For half an hour they stuck to us. disappearing only when the time came to settle, when they swiftly vanished. They were dark-browed, dark complexioned fellows, and uttered no sound as they stalked behind us, with their Mack skirts flapping around their sturdy legs. I wondered whether they could be Italians. The dialogue between the gardener and myself was of a nature to make Ariosto weep and Tasso grieve. I am not strong in Italian; I can make my wolf understood in It, but I speak English much better. If those priests were Ital ian ! shudder when I think of that dia logue. But If they were Italian and could listen to it with gravity I greatly admire their self-control. The old gardener parted with us with regret after having sold us some cuttings f om plan is. His regret was over not asking more. He was a nice old man. but ft trifle mercenary. Most of the Vati can servants are When we left the old gardener we start ed to return by what we thought to be the same route, but It led us Into an en tirely different part of the grounds. Here we climbed a hill which was the highest in the gardens. I think that we must have been on the top of Mens Vaticanus At our feet lay the vast pH© of buildings THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY 23. 1000. which together are called the Vatican. Apparently on a level with us wi the great dome of St. Peter’s. Around the railing at the top we could see the m.nute figures of tourists looking from the dome at the Vatican hill. From there we de scended the hill affid made our way back toward the gateway. We passel the build ing ca led "Casino del Papa," where the | popes used to dwell during the heats of summer. It is a handsome building, cov ered with the s lf-laudatory inscriptions of the various pepes, who have adorned it. Nor only In the Vatican gardens, but all over Rome you see magniloquent inscriptions setting forth the astounding virtues of the various popes who repair ed bridges, or restored facades: “Most Munificent Prince, Pius”—"Most Virtuous Prince. Clement”—"Most Learned Prince, Sixtus.” If the popes have had a besett ing sin it is not modesty. As we were making our way toward the exit we met another tourist priest— an old Italian who had apparently lost his way. He asked us about it. and we set him right. He was unmistakably a tourist, for he had a guide-book, and pointing to a tower told me it was the Borgia Tower. He meant well, but the gardner had already told us it was the Leonine Tower. He was completely lest. Fancy two pilgrims from Western America telling an Italian priest how to find his way about the gardens of the Vatican. THE WEATHER.

Dover, Del., July 19.—A remarkable in cident occurred to-day on the farm of A. G. Massey, west of Dover. Mr. Mas sey had two hogs of a roving disposition, and in the heal of the day they wandered into the partly open door of his ice house. Men had been cutting out ice that morn ing, and one of the hogs slipped down into the crevice. Being unable to extricate himself, one of the hogs perished with the cold, and was stiff when found, w’hile only thirty feet away the other hogs outside were simmering in the heat at 100 degrees in the shade.
