THE GREAT LEVY.

HISTORY OF THE GREATEST CORNET PLAYER IN THE WORLD.

One of the great attractions at the Hotel Brighton is Levy, the superb cornetitt. It was a shrewd stroke of enterprise this engagement ot the famous cornet player, for beside proving at the outset that the conductors of the new enterprise propose to stop short of nothing which would make the new seaside resort attractive to the people, it was the thing which added made the sum total ^of attractions superior to that of any other resort upon the Island. His fame proves to be the straw that turns the scale of preference with very many people to Hotel Brighton. Levy is a character in his way, and has been the pet of the music lovers of four of the great capitals of the world, to sav nothing oi the minor cities. Perhaps that will account for that amusing egotism, all the more amusing because it is so unconscious. Levy, though of English birth, would be taken for a Pole or Russian, his black mustache curled at the ends, his sharp, black eves and his prominent nose. His inevitable single glass proves, however, his English habits and training, while his accent is unmistakably English. His success in his chosen line has been the result of thorough enthusiasm and most industrious and self denying labor during those years which youth gives over to pleasure. The writer said to him one day this week, "Who was your instructor upon the cornet, Levy?" "My instructor? Why, my boy, I never had but six lessons in music in my whole life."

This seemed to be so remarkable a statement that the desire was born to Know how he had reached his unapproachable proficiency upon the cornet. Hence the question. "How then do you arrive at such perfection?" "Why, yon know it was hard work— ust hard work. I give you my word when I was a boy I practiced fifteen hours a day." "What induced you to seek the cornet as an instrument?" "You know I was born in London, and not far from where I was living was a large dance hall, where they had a very fine orchestra, and when I was not more than three years old, I used to lie awake and listen to the music and it waB always the cornet that took my ear. When I got bigger and would see the bands on the street, I could make out the instrument which I liked so much. Then I would follow the bands. Why, look you when I was five yeats old I had a little box ».o put my pennies in, and I was saving them to buy a cornet. I always had my eye on the cornet before I can remember." "Were your parents n^usical?" "Not thev. Why they made me take the money I was saving for a cornet and spend it for boots." "But you don't tell me how you began to play.

What are you doing—are you—what do you call it—interviewing me?" "I have tome curiosity to know your steps of progress, after telling me you have had but six lessons in music!" "I don't mind telling you, you know. But no games, mind you. You see I was following the banc6 all the time, and when they were playing in the parks I would get as near the cornet player as I could, and by and by. he would let me hold the music, giving me a wink when I was to turn over the page. One day he said, 'What do you want?' and I said, 'I want to play on the cornet.' Anyhow, he took me one afternoon and showed me how to hold the cornet on my lips and how to make the sound. That settled me. I was going to have a cornet or die for it. There was a boy who worked in a musical instrument store, it was Distin's—the one who made the cornet I play on here. And thisbov stole a mouth-piece and gave it to me." "A mouth-piece?" inquiringly interrupted the writer. "Yes, a mouth-piece for the cornet," and Lery took from his pocket a silver case, which he opened and took from it the little mouth-piece he places against his lips. "Well," continued Levy, "I blew through this month-piece, imagining I was making music, but you know, it did good, for it formed my lips for the work. "See here," he said, breaking off, "This man Distin afterwards paid me a hundred guineas a week to play for him. made me a pure silver cornet, and advertised that I played on his cornets and had alwaVs used his mouth-piece., that was after showed it to him, and had told him that it had been stolen from his store. It was a lucky steal for him. for my playing on his cornets have made them the most popular of all. Well, you know I practiced and practiced- -fT ©tV*

a boy in that theatre, Chatterton, who is now a lessee of one of the big theatres in London, was a boy who swept the stage. One day or one night, rather, when 'Le Prophete' was Jplaving, I stole into the musicians' dressing room, and slipping my mouth-piece upon the cornet lying there, began to blow, and I was tickled to death to nnd I could play a tune. By and by I got a cornet of my own. and I practiced on it all the time. But you see it pretty nearly killed me, because I took the wind from my stomach, instead of using my tongue and lips. They thought I was going into consumption. But I got over it, and Hughes, the great ophicleide player taught me that trick, and then I practiced again. One day I went to Dan Godfrey, the leader of the Grenadier Band—that's the great band in England—oh, YOU heard it this country—and he heard me, and told me to 'list in the band. I did'li6t and then I began to improve. Dan Godfrey took an interest in me and gave me some lessons in music, then I had the practice with the band every morning. Now, I gite you my word that at this time I practiced fifteen hours a day. When 1 got away from the band I would go home and practice on this instrument until I suppose the neighbors wished me further. But I improved so fast bv this practice that I was looked upon as a growing cornetist. I got eighteen shillings a week—about two dollars. After the people began to talk about the boy in the Grenadiers, I got an engagement in the Strand Theatre and this was the beginning. My solo' were encored night after night. In 1S60 I was engaged in the orchestra at the Princess, and at thirty shillings a week, and I was more and more of a favorite. Well, one night, Fechter, who had lately come to the country, was going to play 'Hamlet.' There was a great ado about it in the papers. All the literary swells were writing about him and the yellow wig he was going to wear. It was his first night as Hamlet, and the house was full of big swells. Oxenford and Dickens and Reade, ail of them were there and so was Parepa. Well, when my solo time came I played the same 'Whirlwind Polkar I played here to-day and it set the house just crazy. They applauded, and applauded, and while they were applauding the curtain went up and Ham let came on for his soliloquy "To be or not to be." But not a word could be heard, they were kicking such a frightful row in front that the plav couldn't go on, you know, and they had to drop the curtain, and I piayed the polka over again. But wasn't Fechter wrathy? He was so angry when I went on the 6tage at the end, he couldn't sneak. Dickens, who was a great chum of Fechter, came back to see him and he met me and said, 'You have had a great success to-night and vou deserve it." While I was thanking him he said: 'But it was ver^r hard on Fechter it destroyed the eflect of his soliloquy.' I said. 'It was not my doing, Mr. Dickens it was the people in front and he laughed and said 'You shouldn't play so well,' and went off. The next day I asked and got twenty shillings more a week. You knowjulien—thejulien concerts. Yes? Well, he was deaf1, and Alfred Mellon was reorganizing the old orchestra, and had engaged Madame Parepa, and was looking out for other attractions, and she said to him, 'Have you heard the boy at the Princess'?' and he said 'What boy?' and she said' The Comet.' 'No,' he answered. Then she said 'Come with me to-morrow night and listen to him.' The next day Mellon came to me and asked me to the rehearsal at Floral Hall. I was a member of the band and I had to go in my red uniform. The first fiddlers when I got up to play looked at me with a sneer and asked, 'Who is this band player?' but I pledge my word that they broke the backs of their fiddles applauding me when got through. I was engaged for five pounds per week." "So "Madame Parepa was your artistic god mother, then?" said the writer. "Yes," replied Levy, "I came out as a 6tar soloist under her recommendation." "Well, the next season I was engaged in the orchestra of the Royal Italian Opera. By this time I was getting along so well that I was wanted as a soloist everywhere and I wanted to get out of the service. 1 bought my discharge, but I tell you it required influence, big influence. "Then the story that you are a deserter is not true?" asked the writer. "Oh, bless you no! How could I have gone back to England two or three times if I had been? Arbuckle and Beert are deserters, but I bought my discharge After this I was the solo cornet at the great concerts at Crystal Palace, under Alfred Mann's leadership, and the crowds itliat gather here at Hotel Brighton remind me more of that place than any place I have yet seen. The next season I went to Paris, to the Dollege Louis Le Grand, where I played daily at their concerts. Here they gave me a silver medal. I wish I conld show you what the newspapers said of me. I set those Frenchmen crazy. The next season I went back. It was the same thing oyer again, and the College authorities gave me a gold medal that time. The next yeat 'Papa' Batemen engaged me to come to America with his Parepa concert troupe, and America took to me at once. After going through the country I went back to England, when I was engaged by Altred Mellon at £25 a week. Thi6 was the first time I played at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Ca«tle and I have a letter of compliments from the Queen. I appeared during this season with Parepa, Grisi, .Mario, Sims Reeves, Rudersdorff and Santley at the Crystal Palace ballad concerts—we were the soloists. The next season I was engaged for Holland, and while at Amsterdam, Parepa, who was organizing a concert troupe for America, sent to engage me at £55 per week, and I closed with her. This was in 186S. Parepa fell sick and I joined Thomas' concert and then Adelaide Phillips' concert troupe in California, In 1S71 Jim Fisk got up his big band and gave me $10,000 a year. Jim was a great fellow—a devil of a fellow, but he was good to his artists, very liberal, but you never knew how to take him, and I kept away from him. You see that diamond," pointing to a beautifully pure diamond upon his finger, "that diamond cost 11,800. I got it while I was engaged with Fisk. You know who Henry £mith is? He was some way mixed up with Fisk. He,owned the trotting mare Goldsmith Maid. She was going to make 2:14, or something like that, and after she had tried it once she was so blown that they wanted to-

give her a long rest, and the people were impatient, and Smith came to me and said, 'Levy, can't you play something lor them? Keep 'em interested.' 'Yes,' I said, 'of course I can.' 'Well, do it Set 'em wild and keep it up till I give you the signal to stop.' Well, I did, until they forgot all about the horse race, and the mare had a good chance to blow. Then they brought her out and she did it in fine styleSmith won a heap ot money, and he came tome and said. 'You did it Levy, you did it. What can I give you? Anything you want! What can I give you? And I said, 'If you want to give me anything you can give me a diamond ring.' He wrote the order for one right there, and I took it and got the ring. But I was a fool I might just as well have got •ne for $2,500. I didn't stay out my engagement with Fisk. You recollect when Alexis came to this country—how Fisk serenaded him at the Clarenden Hotel. The Grand Duke was much taken by my playing. They had a ball at the Navy Yard, and Jim Fisk tried to get into it, and they turned him out. The next Saturday night they were to give AlexiR a big supper at Delmcnico's, and he was anxious to hear me so they asked me to come. I went to see Fisk, to let me go, and he 6aid, 'No! d—'em. They wouldn't let me in at the ball and they can't have my cornetist." I had been thinking for some time about going to Russia, and it was a good thing to get the favor of Alexis. I didn't sav anything to Fisk, but at supper I played. That broke the engagement. Prince Galitzan was in this country at the time giving concerts. He had been a great Prince in Russia, but had lost his social position by giving concerts before the public. He engaged me to go to Russia for 12,000 roubles. I went there. One day when I was in my room in my hotel, there was a knock at the door, and in my best Russsian I said,'Come in!' It was General Pollitzoff, the teacher of the Czarowiteh. He asked if I didn't want to be present at Court, ana of course I did. And I was. When I was presented to the Czar, he said, 'Are you an American, Mr. Le.w?' I said, 'No, sir, I was born in England, but America is now my home, and I must say I like it better than any other country.' They treated me very handsomely.

The Czarowiteh is a fine amateur musician, and the cornet is his instrument. I played with him often, and taught him a good deal. He took me under his patronage, and for twenty months, twice a week, I was invited to the palace. You know when the Russian troops entered Paris, sixty or sixty-five years ago Well, they have on the anniversary of that day a grand concert called the 'Concert Des Invalides,' at which none but Russians are allowed to play or sing. Through the influence of the Czarowiteh I was invited to play at the concert the year I was there. "Notwithstanding all the artists that have been in Russia, I am the only loreign artist that evea played at that concert. There were 1,000 musicians at that concert, and it was the most brilliant audience I ever played before. While I was there I was offered seventyfive pounds a week to go back to England, and in the Spring of 1875 an agent from Shook & Gilmore came and engaged me for the Gilmore Garden concerts. In 1876 I played at the Centennial Exhibition, and then I went to Australia. My success there was very great indeed. I came back only last Spring."' "You have traveled a great deal about, the world "1 traveled over 70,000 miles, and I am not done yet. I have got *o go to Germany and Italy yet, and Egypt, and by that time I shall have played in every quarter of the civilized globe. The Germans say I must go to Beriin and Vienna, for there I will please them. Of course I shall I have no doubt of that. During my career they have brought cornetists from all partB of Europe to contest with me, always with the same result. They failed to reach me in execution. But it is my time to play. I'll see you again and continue this"conversation."

What would be egotism in any other man is not with Levy. He is certainly unapproachable and unrivaled by any cornetist. He is as far superior to any cornet player as the best after him is superior to anybody else. A writer in the Melbourne Age hits it exactly when he says: "In fact, to sum up, other men do what they can with the cornet— Mr. Levy does what he pleases with it.'" And Levy himself says: "They are right in calling me world renowned, because I have played and gained my fame in all parts of the world and the best evidence of my ability is that I began on $1 a week, and now I command $400 a week."

A RISING MAN.

HOW A BRAKEMAN BECAME A GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT.

A. L. 6ewell, in Methodist Recorder. In the earlier years of my experience as a printer in Chicago, more than twenty years ago, our firm did a great deal of printing for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, and, because of this, came to know a young man who is the subject of my story. He came from Massachusetts, was poor, and had no influential friend to even give him a letter of recommendation. He sought employment on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, and, after waiting a time, at last secured a position of brakeman o. reight ain—salaryJibout $30 a month. He was faithful in his position and, being both intelligent and industrious, he was soon made conductor of the train, with wages nearly doubled. He attracted the attention of his superior officers, who saw in him an honest, faithful and conscientious conductor, one not seeking his own or comfort, but constantly devoted to the interests of the company that employed him, so that not many months had elapsed before he was made conductor of a passenger train—a more comfortable position, and one yielding a somewhat higher salary. Here I first knew him, and I saw in him a quiet, unassuming young man free from the popular vices, and one who tried to be just as faithful and true and devoted to his work as a conductor as though the position had been th%t of General Superintendent

position was then General Superintendent of the road, This man, Colensl C. C. Hammond, watched every

employe of

the road with an eagle's eye. He measured everv man, knew the ability ot each and seemed intuitively to know which were lazy shirks. Our young conductor did not escape the keen eye. When he least thought of it his chief was measuring and sounding him. and finding out what kind of metal he was made of but none ever knew whether he was approved or not, for the chiefs look was always stern and cold as ice.

One Saturday morning, train No. 4 moved slowly out of Chicago under the care of my friend, who, only intent on doing his work as well as he knew how, seemed to have no higher ambition than to be a good conductor—salary $900 a year. About noon, when he stopped at a station, he found a telegram from the head office ordering him to "leave the train in care of and take the first train for Chicago."

This was an unusual thing. Wondering what could be the matter, conscious that he had tried to do exactly right, and yet remembering how exactly was the General Superintendent he feared that unintentionally he had fallen under his displeasure. "With a fearful heart he presented himself at the office of the Superintendent. "Good morning, Mr. Hammond, I have received your telegram and come to see what it means," "Good morning," growled the chief "I see you have sir, I have concluded to take your train away from you."

The conductor's heart sank lower than ever. What before was only foreboding was now painful truth. He had served the company to the best of his ability. He had kept the affairs of his train in complete order, his reports had been carefully and correctly made and yet, after all, he lost his position. He dared not hope to reverse the decision of the all powerful official, yet in as calm a voice as he could command he politely asked the reason for hi6 summary dismissal

Col. Hammond waited a while before he answered. Then the muscles of his face relaxed a little, and he said: "I want an Assistant Superintendent in my office and I have called you take the place."

True worth is always mode6t, and our thunderstruck conductor could only stammer: "But I am not competent, sir, to fill the position." "You can do what I tell you, you can obey my orders, can't you? that is all you have to do sir. You will begin work this morning. That is your desk."

The duties were not as difficult as he expected. At first he had only to obey orders, and carry out the details of work laid out by the chief, and to these duties he brought the 6ame faithfulness and thoroughness that had made him noticeable as a conductor. His elevation did not spoil him or make him vain. He was plain and modest and hard-working as before. His salary at first was $1.700.

After a tew years' service under Col. Hammond, and an advance of salary to $2,500, the plain voung man was invited to take the office of General Superintendent of a younger road, at a salary of $4,000. distrusting his own ability, but determined to do his best, he accepted the call, and succeeded until the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, realizing how much they had lost in parting from him, invited him to resume his old position, and secured his services by the tempting offer of $6,000 a year.

In the meantime Col. Hammond had become the General Superintendent of the Union Pacific railroad, running from, Omaha to Ogden, where it connects with the Central Pacific railroad, The Central Pacific road was owned by four or five millionaires, who built it, one of whom was its General Superintendent. However good a business man he was) he knew but little about railroading. 1 But where could they find a General Superintendent who had the ability and would dare to reorganize the road and put its affairs upon a better basis? They consulted Col. Hammond and other railroad men, and the result was that most unexpect^ly, our whilom modest and hardworking conductor one day received a telegram asking him if he would undertake the duties of General Superintendent of the Central Pacific road, at a sala ry of $10,000. He wa9 satisfied with and appreciated by the Chicago, Burlington & Quiocy, who proposed to increase his pay to $n,ooo, and as he preferred to remain in Chicago, he declined the princely offer made by the California road. Then another telegram asked at what salary he would become chief of the Central Prcific. Almost hoping to discourage his tempters he telegraphed "$13,000 a year in gold." At once came the answer, "Accepted." So, taken in his own trap, he had nothing to do but to bid adieu to the city that had served him so well and turn his face toward the land of gold.

This was nine years ago. He is still General Superintendent of the Central Pacific railroad, one of the most important railroads in the world. With its connections in California, this quiet man,not yet forty-eight years old, now superintends 2,734 miles ot railroad, and connecting bteamers, besides dictating the tariffs of the China, the Australian and the Panama lines of steamships While other young men, preferring pres' ent ease and comfort to the interests of their employers, wasted time and money in billiard halls, theaters and drinking saloons, Albion N. Towne was at work, building up character as well as reputation, and now fills one of the most important positions in California, and instead of $360 a year as a brakeman on a freight train, he now draws the.comfortable *alary of $20,000 a vear in gold. "Lucky man,'r says one. But "luck" has little to do with it. Modest worth did it. Faithfulness in the performance of present duties however humble. This untiring faithfulness in the humbler duties not only attracted the notice and won the appreciation of his superiors but fitted him for higher positions, which, without his seeking, he was called to fill
