ROPE FOB LADY VIOLA Penalty for liunatcaif Marriages nt English Court. Uremwood Cotnpany.l Quotn Victoria soft in her heart for lovrrs. interested lu-rself in many romance, and facilitated many marriage which without her kindly intervention there would have tx-n etertaclea, iIH declined to counjonaare runaway matches, and in the cm of Lady Lilian FiUclarcnce. Mm made a marriage of this kind with Captain William Arthur Boyd. of td Ufe Guards, caused it to publicly 'announced that pirls making runaway marriasfs would not received at court.

The result was that land Lady Lillian Bcyd made their home almost altogether in France until the present reign. King Edward and Queen Alexandra arc more indulgent. That is to say. they weigh the circumstances of each particular case before arriving at decision about the. matter, and therefore Lady- Viola Talbot, who made a runaway marriage the other day with Reginald Gore, will not necessarily be the object of ny disciplinary measure on the part of their majesties.

Indeed, she is entitled to good deal of consideration. For her father. Lord Shrewsbury, premier earl of the realm, and hereditary 1-erd "01 Steward of Ireland, is separated from Shrewsbury, Brass whom he is perpetually in litigation. According to the terms of the separation, the only son of Lord Shrewsbury's most unhappy marriage, namely, Ingestre, was to mnain with him. whereas the daughter.

Lady Viola Talbot. was obliged to remain with her mother. Now Lady Shrewsbury, owing to the sensational divorce from her former husband, which preceded her marriage with the is barred from court to great extent boycotted by society. Moreover, she has the reputation of being an exceedingly short tempered and rather disputatious person, whom it is well to avoid, and Lady Viola had consequently suffered considerably from the isola-. tion to which her mother is condemned.

Lady Viola, moreover, lias been constantly dragged into litigation between her parents, called upon to testify against one or the other, and one of the of the suit of two years ago between the earl and the countess was to the effect that Lady. Viola had not only been compelled with her own fair hands to dig potatoes in the garden at Alton Towers needed for the countess's table but that she liad actually, been obliged to resort to all sorts of gymnastics in order to climb through a window when an attempt had been made by the earl's agents to lock the countess out of the place. With all that. Lord Shrewsbury st-ems to be kindly disposed toward his daughter, and if her marriage has been a runaway match it has (been in order to avoid objections and obstacles on the part the countess. In fact.

Lord Shrewsbury oxpresses himself well satisfied witlr the marriage, and his openly expressed approval thereof since he has t-een made aware of Its having taken place is likely to become a fresh source of discord and possibly of litigation with his wife. Lady Viola was (shown fey the legal procV-edincs of two years ago between her parents to have had JiOO.OOO settled upon her by her father as a charge on the family estates, so that she is by no means penniless. Nor is her young husband the unknown nobody which he has been scribed in some of the cabiv dispatches. On the contrary, he is a lieutenant of the royal navy, serving on board the Attentive, and is tiie only son and heir Lieutenant General Edward Arthur Gore, who has a beautiful place known as Derrymore, in County Clare, and who is a member of the old family, been settled in Ireland since the days of Queen Elisabeth, when Paul Gore obtained large tracts of land there from the Crown and was subsequently created one of the Jirst baronets by Kir.g James. T.

present chief of the fcrr.iiy is Sir Ralph Gore, tenth baronet in his line. From this it be seen that Lidy Viola Talbot has certainly not married an adventurer, but. on the contrary, has made ay desirible natch. i lIME. NAXSEN'S ODD DIVORCE.

Lord Jli.lietor.. who must not be corirused with Lord Middleton, brother-in-law of Sir William Gordon CaaaMteK, is descended from John Mldleton, who in the reign of VI bore the title of the Kind's Embroiderer, and whose son.

Sir Thomas Brodrick. was lieutenant of the Tower of London In the reijrn of QaMa Elizabeth. He is on record as having bequeathed, by way of a memorial to his father, a sum of money to the ancient Brcderers' Company, or Guild, in London, for the -benefit of members of tlie company, which for hundreds of years has enjoyed the prerogative of at a steep" price. It Is true "hearse cloih." or pall, used at royal funerals'. Lord ton is a freeman and member of this guild, like all of his predecessors in the family honors and estates.

The name of St. John comes into his family through the marriage Of the Sir Thomas Brodrick knighted by Quern Elizabeth to the granddaughter and heiress of Nicholas St. John, one of the territorial magnates of Wiltshire. It was his son. Sir St.

John Brodrick. who established himself at Midleton, in the County Cork, where he obtained a large tract of land by grant from the Crown, and when his son Alan was raised to the peerage of Ireland for his services as Lord High Chancellor of that kingdom he selected as his title Viscount Midleton of Midleton in County Cork. To these Irish honors the English barony of Brodrick. of Peper Harow, in Surrey, carrying with it a seat in the House of Lords, was added at the close of the eighteenth per Harow is the principal country seat of Lord Midleton, and has been in his family since 1713. when it was purchased by the first viscount.

Situated in the most picturesque portion of Surrey, it is believed to owe Its odd name to some ancient Anglo-Saxon proprietor. For it figures in Doomsday Book, with an intimation that, whereas Walter FitzOther held it from Willhm: the Conqueror, an Anglo-Saxon knight of the name of Alward had held it from King Edward the Confessor. Among Its subsequent owners were Sir Bernard Brocas. chamberlain to Queen Anne I Bohemia, consort of King Richard II of England, and the Earl of Southampton, upon whom it was bestowed by Henry VIII. On the estate is the "Bonfield Spring," the waters of which, according to chronicles of six and seven hundred years ago, were most efficacious in the cure "of sore eyes and ulcers." A most picturesque and artistic grotto, in ecclesiastical stylt? designed by Pugin.

now shields the spring from harm and injury. The mansion at Peper Harow was built from designs by Sir William Chambers, in the middle of the eighteenth century, in a very stately style, suggesting a combination of the Italian palace rather than of the English manor. The rooms are extremely lofty and of exceptionally spacious dimensions, and in the dining room hangs Rubens's famous masterpiece, "A Burgomaster," which is undoubtedly the gem of the entire Midleton collection of paintings. MARQUISE DE FONTENOY. GERM AX Winning South American Republics Intellectually, Says Dr.

Berne. Ann Arbor, Jan. Germany is establishing a hold on the South American republics of deeper and more farreaching significance than any territorial foothold, in the opinion of Dr. L. S.

Rowe, of the University of Pennsylvania, who spoke before the Association of American Universities here to-day. It is not entirely through commercial conquest that this is being done, said Dr. Rowe, but by means of the more fundamental intellectual and moral forces which develop community of thought ultimately community of action. Dr. Rowe has recently returned from a prolonged tour through South America, having represented the United States at the Pan-American Conference in Brazil, and subsequently devoting a year and a half to a study of political and economic conditions in Uruguay, the Argentine Republic, Chili, Bolivia and Peru.

In his address Dr. Rowe outlined plans for the establishment of closer relations between the universities of the United States and the higher institutions of learning of the countries of Latin America. He laid special emphasis on the necessity of participation on the part of the universities of country in the forthcoming Pan- American Scientific Congress to be held in Chili in next. Through such relations the people of tiie northern and southern sections of continent will be brought into closer touch with one another, and thus many existing prejudices and will be destroyed. The speaker then entered upon a discussion of the extension of German influence in South America.

He said, in part: There has much irresponsible -talk about the designs of Germany on South America. Not only is there a lack of any present indication of such designs, bat: even supposing the acquiescence of the United States. Germany lacks the elements with which to support such a movement. The Germans settled in South America white anxious to their German traditions could not relied upon to support an attempt at the extension of German dominion. The really significant fact is that Germany's intellectual influence in South America is growing so rapidly, especially in the educational field, that German ideas, German culture and the German point of view now dominate the training in some iif the most important sections of the continent.

In Chili the system of public education Is based on German models, and German educational influence is rapidly spreading in Argentina and Peru. We need not take alarm because of this, but it is important that we become fully conscious of file fact that Germany is establishing her hold upon these countries not primarily through commercial conquest but by means of the more fundamental intellectual and moral force? which develop community of thought and ultimately community of action. The committee on aim and scope appointed at the last convention reported to-day in favor of admitting to membership in the association the universities of Illinois. Minnesota and Missouri. The report was adopted.

The committee also recommended that in addition to the other requirements now necessary for admission to the association universities seeking membership be required to insist upon at least one year of college work as a prerequisite to admission to the professional courses. Dean Cooley. of the medical department the University of Michigan, read a paper before the conference to-night. BY UNION LEAGUE.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. FRIDAY.

JANUARY 10. 1908. MUSIC. THE BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. It is a trite observation, but also a true one (like m.my of its kind), that we sVM oest i'" 1 (rood music With which we arc most familiar.

It is also mournful fact that because of the recognition of Jthe old truth those who cater to tiie public are chary with novelties. We cry for them, tut when we get them we find that they arc not to cur likine. In the case of orchestral music of the iarge type, the concerts being comparatively lepetitions are out of the nt the course of season and so we do not learn to love the unfamiliar unless it is of a quite xtraordinary excellence. Dr. Muck, with the of his Boston Orchestra, is ofterinsr new things more generously than any of our local concert institutions; and yet it is hard to grateful to him because the aesthetic principle is as and wnat It Is.

and also because the new music that he brings to us has so little that makes an appeal to what may be called our elemental apprcciatim. Perhaps it is the fault of the woful state into which the art cf music has a state which exalts technical tfefltment over contents. It ki the 1 state which rince the world began, not only in mii Pic but in all the arts, is consequent upon tiie hisrh development of virtuoscship. At the third concert of the Boston Orchestra last night Dr. Muck brought forward for the first time in Xew York a symphony in by a hitherto unknown composer named Hermann Bischoff.

It had its first production at one of the Germnn festivals, which are held to give a hearing to such things, a year ago last May. Every such a festival is held by the Allgemeiner Deutscher Musikverein: a score of new works are brought and put down on the records of patier't observers like Mr. Hale, of Boston, and then, for the greater part, disappear. As a rule the world does not seem to be much the loser by their disappearance. Once in a long while a erood thing survives hy virtue of its excellence.

Perhaps BtschosTs is one of these good things: but it is to be- feared that the repetitions, necessary to impress the fact upon the public would entail a great weariness of the flesh tn most musical communities. On the first hearing it seems to be another instance of small ideas expanded beyond all ason and beyond ordinary endurance by the composer's capacity and willingness to say the same thing many times in a different -orchestral voice. It has one thing in its favor, which is that the composer tries to work with melodies instead of phrases: but, unhappily, his melodies are diceursuo and lacking in the element of symmetry and reposefulness which many ingenuous lovers of the beautiful stubbornly insist on thinking essential. There were two other numbers on the pianoforte concerto in minor, of which Mme. Carreno played the solo part (with more brilliance and power than poetical feeling), and Dvorak's "Carnival Overture." WAGNER'S LOVE DRAMA.

imd Tsolde" drew a fir" audience last evening nt the Metropolitan Opera House, aird its performance deepened the admiration expressed by the New Teal's night assemblage for Mr. Mahler's superb conducting and for the new personation of Isolde by Miss Fremstad. Read by the Viennese director, the "Tristan" score retains the best part of that muscularity and energy without which it will never be accepted in New York, while it is so happily adjusted to the dynamic powers of the singers that it never overwhelms them. In the orchestra's playing, the ideal of pure beauty was never lost: Mr. Mahler is evidently not a conductor who is determined to have expression at any cost; but he seems able to achieve all the expression that could be asked without transcending the limits of what is beautiful in the best and most widely understood sense of the word.

The climaxes were built up with an unerring sense of cumulative mass effects; the gamut from pia lissimo to double forte was sounded wit unfailing perception of the momentary significance of text and score, and th-re was a vital, nervous, yet reposeful quality throughout. Miss Fremstad's Isolde already shows the ben-nt added familiarity with the part. Her acting. once the potion had lifted from the constraint that had marked, up to that time, her portrayal of the Irish princess, was consistently powerful and splendidly impressive, rising at such moments as the extinguishing of the torch to heights of ecstatic eloquence. Miss Fremstad's voice flowed vith noble opul-nce and freedom, and its tone coloring reflected s- nsitively (be meaning of what she sang.

The cast of 'Tristan" was the same as oa the previous occasion, and its several little comment now. Mr. Knote was not at his best as Tristan, but his was a manly knight. Honor's finely sonorous Brangaene, Mr. Mass's King Mark and Mr.

Van Betty's Kurvnal were fnmili.ir and admirable. The audience was sincerely ar.d generously enthusiastic. A NEW PIANIST HEARD. Miss Wynni Pyle, who made her initial appearance here as a pianist at Mendelssohn Hal! last evening, is not the first musician to come out of Texas by way of witness Mme. who has been making a name for herself these several yearh past, and Mr.

Van der Stucken. whose Mrth in the Lone Star State gave to American music one of Its conspicuously successful practitioners. Miss Pyle's term of study abroad is of too recent date to have given her time to develop fully her musical personality, and in her playing htst evening showed frequent crudities of thought as weil as execution, but at her best moments, as in the Chopin major ballade's stow portion. Miss Pyle feeling for tonal beauty was marked, and her touch had a considerable singing quality, especially in the left hand. Tiie recital also enlisted the services of Messrs.

Karl Grienauer. Gaston Borch and George Schmidt, und of Mme. Grienauer, pianist. MME. CAVALIERI NOT TO SiNG TO-NIGHT.

Owing to indisposition, Mme. Una Cavalieri will not sing this evening, as had been announced, the role of Margherita in "Mefistofele" at the Metropolitan Opera House. Instead, Miss Geraldine Farrar will assume the character, as she has done at the previous performances of "Mefistofele" this season. TWO DEATHS. To the Editor of The Tribune.
