Excerpt from Some Fundamental ValuesLast Monday evening an audience that packed the Opera house was profoundly moved. Kreisler, as few can, interpreted on a rare old violin some of Chopin's most exquisite music, and when at the close of the performance two prominent and beautiful young women presented the artist with baskets of lilies and roses respectively, such an ovation followed as has seldom been seen in our city.The following evening, however, at a session of the Modern Truth Association, now meeting in this city, the celebrated Dr. Bunk pre sented considerations which among thinking people have created a decided stir.The learned man called attention to the fact that the sounds that had so moved the audience arose simply from the vibrations of cat, gut, that the cat is a relatively inconsequential animal, that a dead cat is even less significant than a living one, and finally that the gut of the cat is the most unromantic portion of the feline anatomy, even the nocturnal Vibrations of the vocal cords of the living cat have not usually awakened rapturous emotions on the part of the listeners. In view of these undoubted truths the emotional reaction of the audience Monday evening was shown to be highly irrational.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
