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. er, SO Wall street. New York city; and further Information may be had from the secretary of the committee, Allan Robinson, at the, same address—The Outlook. MI8S MORGAN’S~APPEAL FOR MACDOWELL FUND.

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. lack of every comfort. •'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."
