The most dramatic German ballad ever written is undoubtedly Schubert's "Erlking." After having become thoroughly familiar with the detail and development of the story, which is founded upon the legend of the phantom Erlking, supposed to haunt the Black Forest of Germany after
having become assured that the trans
waits for .thee many bright, bright toys, many flowers shall we pluck for my boy." The alarm of the child is here well represented by the voice singing a flat against the unison naturals in the accompaniment. "O father, my father, and did you not hear the. Erlking whisper so close to my ear?" The words "father, my father"

; Marion, Ind., October 20. Olive Heath who declared that she had
; been hypnotized and forced into mar-
, rying Herbert Moreheart when she was already married to another man had suddenly discovered that More-
Y. l;art is more to her than she realized
J and she has at last decided to return
to the man from whom she so recent
ly sought separation.
The complaint was a sensational
-one and the attorneys had no thought
ithat .their client would not push the case tlrough the local courts. At the
time ',he complaint was filed, Olive
Heath lived in Marion. Recently she went to Ft. Wayne where she is said
I to h ive met Moreheart. The defen
dant in the action has either aagin
otized his wife and succeeded in
gettng her to agree to live with him
: onco more or the woman has consent
ed to return to her husband of her
' owa free will.
i The attorneys learned that their
. rJjcli'jnt had returned to FtL Wayne
iwtere she had seen Moreheart. She
die; not return to Marion and when th j case was called for trial in the
superior court yesterday the action
.wis dismissed by the attorneys.
J In her complaint Olive Heath de-
Jc ared that she had met Moreheart in
iichigan. She stated that he had
exercised an Influence over her and l sreed her to marry him although she
ias already married to another man. The, marriage occurred in Gladwin, plich. J Later the woman claimed to have j escaped from the man's influence and come to Marion where she had been hiding from him.

cult groups of triplets we are ready to study the bc, j rase by phrase, with the object in view of strengthening the story by bringing to the aid of the voice every known principle of expression. The introduction should be played furiously and with a marked accent, giving the effect of a horse's hoofs galloping at a terrific speed over a hard frozen surface. The first two sentences of the poem should set the en
tire picture before the eyes of the audience. By standing well forward on
the toes, every muscle of the body will
be alert, and the impression of the
haste of the father to reach his home
safely will be emphasized at once.
"O who rides by night thro' wood
lands wild? It is the father, embrac
ing his child." This should be given
out in a colorless voice, and without
setting forth the dramatic power of
the situation. Thenext passage "And close the little one lies in father's arm, from blast of tempest to keep him warm," should be sung with a certain warmth of tone which can be
secured by allowing the supporting
column ofbreath to settle on the dia phragm.'much as a mother unconsci
ously does in crooning to her babe. In
the accompaniment the diminished
chord upon the subtonic against the
tonic in the bass is well calculated
to express the tight clasp of the father's arms around the child's body. In
the question "My son, why hidest thy face so shy?" the father remarks the
child's sense of fear, which is expressed in the accompaniment by the minor
ninth chord upon the mediant. The voice, by a rising Inflection and a forward breath should suggest anxiety and concern. The reply of the fright-
Erlklng nigh. See'st not the Erlking
Erlking night, See'st not the Erlking with staff and shroud " should be de
livered in a "mezzo voice," the breath being in the naturei of a backward
expansion, the chest held rather flat and still. The father reassures the child saying, "No my boy, 'tis but a passing cloud." Here the voice should be broadly sustained and serious, but with no suggestion of fear. The unisons in the accompaniment, being devoid of any harmonic sub
stance, well represent the idea that
the child's fright is founded on an il
lusion.
Now comes the seducing song of the Erlking whispered in the ear of the terrified child. The voice should be sustained by a deep abdominal breath, but with the diaphram pushed upward. The enunciation should be very simple similar to that commonly used in conversing with very young children. There should be no slurring from one tone to the other, as there is no desire to arouse any feeling akin to sentiment. "O come with me, thou lovely child, in sport and p'ay will thy hours be beguiled. There
torn is' again heard by the boy: "O wilt thou go with me, my boy, my
daughter fair shall attend thee with joy, shall bear thee on thro' rain and
wild, and hug thee and kiss thee and
sing to thee, child." Now the voice
should portomento from tone to tone
and be supported by a downward and
outward expansion of the abdomen thus giving expression to the voluptu
ous sensuousness of the temptation But the child knows only on& senti
ment that of fear. The breath should
be taken audibly after the words
"father" in the sentence: "O father,
my father, and saw you not plain the
Erlking's daughter glide througn the
rain?" The father's answer this time should not contain as much assur
ance as formerly. He is beginning to
feet that the fright of the child may
not be caused entirely by an excited
imagination.
There is a possibility that the dread
Erlking may have singled out his lit
tle son for the next victim. This can be expressed in the voice by singing
the last half of the following passage with a flat, tense chest. O no, my boy
I knew it full soon, it was the gray
willow under the moon. But the sud
den crescendo in the accompaniment
discloses the additional anxiety of the
father to reach home quickly, before
any thing may happen. The closing
song of the Erlking is splendidly sup
ported In the accompaniment by its
forced and violent harmonies. The first sentence "I love thee, my boy"
should be sung softly, alluringly but
becoming impatient at the continued
resistance of the child, the Erlking
adds ferociously "Come I say, or else
silly child, I will drag thee away.?
The accompaniment here begins for
tissimo descriptive of the violent seiz
ing of the child by the dread phan
tom, and in the same measure the
boy shrieks out his last appeal to his
father for aid.
This appeal should, be sung hyster
ically, with a very high, nervous chest.
"O father, my father, now, now keep your hold; the Erlking has seized me,
his touch, it is cold." "Sore trembled
the father, he spurrs thro' the wild
while close to his bosom he clasps his dear child." The words "He
spurrs thro' the wild," should be ta
ken with a decided accelerando. The
first part of the next passage , "He
reaches his dwelling" should not anti
cipate the effect of -the next two
words, but should express a slight sense of relief at having finally accomplished that much of the journey
safely. But the two following words
in, dread" Informs us that the story
is not yet over. Then in a highly dra
matic recitative should be sung:
clasped to his bosom, (pause) the
child," then after a long and intense
silence the terrible last two words
should be whispered, very audibly, but not sung "was dead."

year on the 2Sth of October. On the day set part for this cause it is cus
tomary to deliver sermons or addresses touching upon the work of the prisons of Indiana and upon prison reform work in general in an effort to increase public interest in the welfare
of the inmates of these institutions.
Below is a copy of the statement
sent out by the Board of State Chari
ties, received by the Palladium in which the object of Prison Sunday is set forth in full:

operation of our indeterminate sentence and parole laws. Much has been accomplished, but much remains to be done. There is need to keep the people informed and the ministers are urged to co-operate with the Board of State Charities in this work. It is hoped that all who can do so will visit their local jail, and if possible, one of the State correctional institutions. Any information which the Board of State Charities pan give for the preparation of Prison Sunday sermons will be gladly supplied. The Board is issuing this year a pamphlet dealing with the history of the indeterminate sentence and parole laws and the results obtained under them. This can be tained by addressing the 'Board at its office, Room 52, State House, Indianapolis.
ABBEY IN ASHES Founded In the Twelfth Century by the Benedictines. Selby, England, Oct. 20. The famous old Abbey church here, known as Selby abbey, is a total ruin, the result of a fire, which broke out in the organ chamber. The local fire brigade was unable to quell the flames and the brigades from York and Leeds were too late to save the historic building, only the bare walls being reft. Selby abbey was considered to be one of the finest monastic edifices in England. It was founded in the twelfth century by the Benedictines.

This, it i3 declared, would mean civil war.
