CHICAGO, May 27,
Jacques Gordon Prince, a violinist, hid behind the tatters and smoke glasses of a blind pauper on a Chicago streetcorner, and with his cultured bow wheedled exactly £1 3s 3d from his casual and unsuspecting audience. The famous violinist undertook his beggar's rolo to decide a dispute as to whether the public appreciated music for itself or was attracted by the magnetism of society audiences and the fame of the artists.
