It seems that an enthusiastic writer on music nas rouna very poor appreciation v of his' efforts on behalf of the art in America. The following letter will show the Interest he haa taken for the ad vancement of music in this country as well aa Indicate the attitude of the musical profession: "With a view of insuring . as perfect a list ' as possible of American operas, or rather, of operas composed by American musicians, I recently went to xne irouDie ana expense oi compiling, . printing and circulating an" American Section, " from my forthcoming 'Diction ary of Operas.

In con trast tne atmosphere or tne European countries Is said to be lacking that crack ling Impetus which keeps the American on the Jump. When the latter goes abroad be soon loses his national charac teristics, and falls Into tha habit of ex pending no more energy than is necessary to do the ordinary things of Ufa He be comes as deliberate. In thought and ac tion, as any born European, rnis. accor ding to the scientific explanation, because the electric germ Is not in the air. On the other hand the European begins to Dick up speed as soon as he becomes acclimated to western atmosphere. The germ theory may be all right, theoreti cally, Dut a more simple explanation win suffice.- For example, the foreigner finds himself pushed about wherever he goes, finds quick methods of transportation, hears terse language, finds himself using slang as a shorter form of expression, rets in the habit of hurrying his meals, his feet, and his general manner of ex pression; and for the simple reason that he is in an environment of activity. It is environment that works Its Influence on either continent. Therefore. It can be readily seen why such a form of music as rag-time would find such favor In this country. The national reckless, helter skelter lire is quite in Keeping witn tne snappy, lively tunes which make up this style of composition.

W. P. Clements, J. B. Warren and W. H. Rowland have been ap pointed by the clerk of court to make the division. Mr. Mangum left his six children a total of 128 lots, many of them near the business center of the city and all very valuable. In the pe tition the heirs agree for Che sale of two of the lots and ask that the remainder of the property be divided equally be tween the children. The division will take place sometime next week. The property lssituated on 16 streets. The property. If placed on the market, would bring; many thousands of dol lars. J. T. Donoho, deputy United States collector for this district. Is In the 'city and he tells of the exciting ..experience he had last Sunday night in capturing Sid Matlock, who was yesterday sen tenced in the Federal Court at tlreena boro to eighteen months in the peni tentiary, the charge being blockading. Matlock brought, his 44-callbre gun In to view and defied arrest. Finally he told Mr. Donoho that, if he would lay down his arms, he would allow him to come to him. He was taken at his word and the arrest followed. Mat lock is known to the officers In this city. Several years ago he forged a check In this city foV which he was sentenced and served a term of some length on the roads of the county. There was a meeting of the chamber of commerce to-night at which time the organization was reorganised. In the future It will be a live working body.

Barber, died to-day at 12 o'clock of appendicitis. She was a bright and lovable child and was quite a favorite in her grade at the city school. Just before she died she told her relatives not to cry that she was going home to her dead father and brotrer. Just before she passed over the river she sang, "Oh! what a friend we have In Jesus,"' and died with a smile on her face. It was one of the saddest deaths that ever occurred In Monroe. Funeral services will be held at Polkton to-morrow at 11 o'clock, and her remains will be laid to rest beside her father and Ut ile brother. Nothing makes an angry man so fran tic as the refusal of the other fellow to hand him a line for back talk.
