PTTRCEIili' Womnil G rments of Quality I VI d YSAYE COMMANDS A TRIUMPHANT TOUCH The Cbarloiie Musical Association Has Secured A Magnificent Ariist ,- The Charlotte Musical Association is daily receiving nattering notices of the artists' who have been engaged to appear in Charlotte during the Winter under 'the auspices of this or ganization an dthe way is opening up for a succession , of events that - will attract what is anticipated to be the largest and most representative crowds that have evei gathered here for great - operatic.-or . musical . func tions. Ysaye, the world-renowned violinist, who will give the -first con cert, has. - sprung into wonderful fame within recent years .and has captivated multitudes where he has appeared . -in the great cities of ' the North and West. , The following from The Chicago Tribune after the appearance of Ysaye is indicative of the genius of the great artist and of interest here on account of the engagement made to bring him to Charlotte: ' " - . . "Eugene Ysaye was soloist with the Thomas Orchestra yesterday , after noon and by the simple beauty, the unaffected sincerity, and the consum mate mastery of his art lifted the con cert to the highest level that music can attain. This master violinist seems to stand humbly .before the high altar of the muse. Reverently, but with a quiet and assumed joy, he sends up a song of homage dedi cated to all that is noble. Words may not measure such an art, nor can they be more than a slight token of" the great debt of gratitude which the music-loving world owes to such an ar tist. . -'. .. , ; , ; "Mozart was the 'first composer hon ored by Mr. , Ysaye. ;The G - major concerto became, at his behest, a song from some gright morning when mu sic was young. To it he brought a tone as, warm and pure as sunlight, a sense of beauty as fresh as the dawn. Spontaneous, joyous, without a hit of effort it seemed that the spirit of the composer spoke direetly to the listener and that the" performer lis tened, with the audience, to the mes sage of beauty that was unfolded. Ev idently at 54 Mr. Ysaye is still- as young as he looks and he taught us yesterday tha the . spirit, that ; truly loves beauty can never grow old. "His reading of the Bruch D minor concerto was even more wonderful in that here it was the performer who Bottl TV ' him f Cwit: G See Roark's sparkling room of Cut Glass while you are out "gift buying." - Several; dpzen new pieces added for holiday trade. There are lots of small ' pieces here - that make very . appreciative gifts and for a moderate price. .10.

Hackneyed terms of musical crit icism are likewise endowed with new J meaning when employed to describe this performance. Thus the terms breadth and dignity of 3tyle were de nned anew in his interpretation of the adagio. Freedom, that goal of every sincere interpreter, was realized in his presentation of y the recitative. In the finale, buoyant, -inspiring tem perament held sway untrammeled. even by the thought 'of ' mechanical means, of which the hearer was whol ly unconscious. ' "But the miracle of 1 Mr, Ysaye's art was performed in the Saint Seans "Introduction and Rondo Capricclo so" added as an encore at . the con clusion of the program. At the hands of innumerable semi-artists .it has been so disfigured that, all believe in its original beauty and sincerity has been lost. In restoring this faith in a much abused composition Mr. Ysaye renewed the youth of every expe rienced musician and music loveT present. . "The orchestra has never played accompaniments of such faultless sympathy- and beauty as those : sup plied Mr Ysaye. Inspired uy his presence Ifbeppnductor and his men also arose to splendid heights in the reading of the fourth Schumann Symphony, which , opened the pro gram. .A more beautiful sostenuto than that t developed in .the introduc tion has not been achieved this sea son. The romanza was delivered with just the right accent of simplicity and there were -moments of genuine or chestral virtuosity in the finale. - "Mr. Stock's talent to readjust or chestral proportions has rarely had more fortunate exemplification. Schumann's-thick and often ineffective In strumentation became " transparent and luminous.. Yet one could detect no hint or studied preparation or of. calculate effect. Throughout the Sym, phony impressed a finished and se" renely poised example of interpreta tive , art. Tschaikowsky's overture fantasia "Borneo and Juliet" prefased the Bruch concerto effectively."

Like Sir Thomas Lipton, however, he does not favor the old rules gov- erning the . trophy and would want the New York Yacht Club to agree under its .present rules of measure D $12M lis "Hot Water es Every one "Guaranteed."

Por sale by &ijcealcrs FAVORING IV TAX DIVISION Sentiment Rapidly, Crystallizing In Behalf Of Gbangs In ' " " -,T&e System CITY PAYING TAXES AND COUNTV GETTING CREDIT Fact That Mr. Morris McDonald is First Member of County Commis sioners From City In Threo Ad ministrations Taken as Signal For - Renewal of Agitation For More Equitable Division of Taxes Be tween and County. ' ' A live and vital question, which . is emphasized- and made ' more promi nent now that the city. ls confronted with a much increased interest-debt each; year, in addition to its in creasing, expensed due to a rapid ant healthy growth, Is that involving the more direct participation of Char lotte in the county taxes, some .,7ft per cent of which, by estimate, ar. contributed by citizens or Charlotte. The question is of such weight as to engage the thought and attention of; many city officials and citizens and it is probable that . some definite move may be made at the approacn ing term of the State Legislature to secure' legislation to bring abdu some . changes in the distribution or the county tax so that the burden that rests on ' the., city of Charlotte may be in some degree lightened that the city may derive more benefits from this large tax in which it Is per mitted under' existing laws to share rather indirectly. .. i rf Stands i For "Compromise. - There are wide differences of opinion as to the right metnod to be followed in .working out a solution o this question and many plans hav been suggested, some favoring - the city's assuming a solid attitude r oh the issue and waging . a direct cam paign to ' secure more voice fn, and a larger benefit from, the taxes con tributed by the citizens of Charlotte for county purposes, -while others favor a compromise and mutually satisfactory basis of discussion of th issues that are" involved. . A city official and a man. standing high in municipal affairs today de cdared that he was in favor of a co operative effort on the part 1 of city and eounty to see what the views of 'each' are in the matter, and to ascer tain if there does not exist a satis factory middle - ground where the whole question , may be threshed out and settled in the best way possible. "I- think," declared he. "that It would be a good beginning to have a joint meeting of acommittee or a board, one from the city and one from the county, say a session of the county commissioners on the one hand, and of an ' aldermanic . com mittee, of -of the board' of aldermen on the other hand, to discuss the situation and sound sentiment on both' sides to gain an accurate knowl edge of the - question ahd; what it means to Charlotte and Mecklen burg. "That the city should benefit more directly from the large proportion of the county tax , which she pays is hardly-to be debated, but how this change is to ""be brought ahout is ai question which I believe ought to be handled in a careful manner. The total of $12,000 which the city now receives from " the county and from the township, which sum is 'returned annually to the city treasury for gen eral street ' work; is a starter which might be studied arid ueed' as a model on which further transactions of .this kind might be made. ' I believe, how ever, ' that the city arid ; county ar too closely . allied in interests, and I might say, in a personal and in dividual way, to " talk v of anything other than a mutually agreeable con sideration of this issue." - First Member In 6 Years. " Therinstallatlpn of Mr. A. Morris McDonald; Monday as a hew member of the board of ;'county. commissioners marks the resumption of representa tion by the" city of Charlotte' on the board of county cornmissioners after a lapse of ; six. years, -.Mr. -: John - B. Ross having been - the last citizen, of Charlotte to hold the iofljce" o'f county commissioner until Mr. McDonald was inaugurated as; a " member. '"of the board yesterday. Mr. Ross' tenure of this office ceased just six years ago, he having -been elected the last time In 1906. for a term of t'wb' years. . Others Favor Different ' Course. . As to the matter of securing a more satisfactory sharing of the county tax es by' the ' city ' many' citizens are In favor of- a ' more direct ..and pointed manner of procedure, H in- which the city shall decide upon its t course and proceed to follow up the plan agreed upon with ; all. of the' energy available, at the same time giving due regard to the rights and privileges of the citizens of Mecklenburg.. . ; ' - These citizens ! do not - propose to start a' fight in any -sense whatever that- would be liable to misconstrue-, tion, but would 4opt. a. method of procedure that ; has jbeen- adopted In other ' cities and "counties where the matter -has. been harmoniously ar ranged, due " regard being had for the rights of both county '.and city.
