Never halloo until you are out Of
the woods" saith homely Western
proverb. Carl Brendel, Leipsic stud
ent, has never heard if it; and after
passing through seven battles and nu-
merous skirmishes in France without
a scratch he was recently writing
triumphantly to his sister OF his un-
touched escape from the repulse OF
sortie made by the Parisians, when the
gun which a comrade was cleaning went
off accidentally, and the bullet striking
Carl in the breast, killed him.

From the Constitution.
Cost Of q Convention.

Governor Stevenson, il is supposed, is
about to issue q new work on domestic
economy. In a message to the Senate
of West Virginia he gives an estimate
of the cost of holding Constitutional
Convention, and among the items is
enc for loss Of tine to voters, the amount
of which is placed at 81, 1922. The
Governor forgets that it is entirely at
the option of the citizen whether he
shall lose time or not If he does not
want to vote, no time can be lost, as he
cannot be forced to 90 to the polls.
And if he wants a Convention, YOU can
be sure he will consider the loss Of time
nothing to the great advantages to be
secured.
But the Governor can make fuller
estimate if he would only try and to
assist him we will give him, gratuitous-
", our estimate of the cost. He will
find that there are many items in it
which he has overlooked:

plant reception, and richly merted all
and more of the enthusiastic applause
bestowed upon her. Obliging as she is
modest, this great artist cheerfully responded to
both encores, playing after the brilliant Weber
Polonaise, the Chopin Impromptu, which she
rendered with the fine feeling and expression
which characterized her performance of this
beautiful music at former concert. After the
List tarantelle she gave, in reply to the spirited
encore, a composition by Shubert.
The orchestra of fifty played superbly. The
overtures TO "Anacreon" and "Fingals Cave"
by Cherubini, were alone worth double the cost of
admission, and were invested with all the charm
of novelty, as they were compositions which are
never given here. Beethoven appeared twice
in the programme-irst in the allegretto from
the Sth symphony, and next in a quartette
both eXquisitcly performed The applause with
which the latter was greeted was so decided as
to cause Mr.. Thomas to respond by the perform
ance of serenade by Yogi. A scherzo by
Goldmark, the always popular Blue Danube
waltz, brace of gay Strauss polkas, and the
tremendous torchlight music by Meyerbeer,
"Fackeltanz No. in B." concluded the pro-
gramme. The 'appreciatve audience went
home delighted and regretting that Mr.. Thomas
could not take home with him some more sub
stantial evidence of Worcester appreciation.
