The HARVARD CoNcERT.-In view of the ap
preaching concert, to be given on the evening
OF the 24th, it may not be amiss to lay before
our readers short notice of the two musical So
cities of Harvard College which are to give the
concert
The Pierian Sodolity, the instrumental Socl-
ETY., was founded in 1908, and is one OF the old
est of all the numerous college Societies OF Har-
ward. 1t furnishes all members of the Unlver-
sty who are sufficiently advanced in musical
skill and knowledge with the hardly to be over
estimated advantage, rarely enjoyed by anna
tours, of playing in an orchestra.
The Harvard Glee Club, the vocal society
founded in 1858 was the first regularly organic
ed Singing Society of the college, and has the
credit of having been one of the first bodies of
amateurs in the field of male-voice, part-sing-
ing, now SO fully occupied q.
Strict examinations as to musical ability are
held IN selecting members for each society.
The members are, as general thing, from the
three upper classes.
1t is greatly desired thing among members
OF the college to join either of these organiza-
tons, and they have both done extremely good
work in establishing higher musical taste and
appreciation among the undergraduates as we'll
as in furnishing the pleasantest possible oppor-
tunitv for musical practice combined with great
social advantages. The societies regularly give
two concerts year in Cambridge, which are
the great events of the year there and are al
ways crowded They also frequently give con-
certs in the vicinity of Boston and in other parts
of Massachusetts,, but this is their first appear
ance in the State of Name, and we think THAI
all those of our readers who neglect the oppor-
tunty of hearing them GU Friday evening next

THE PUBLIC LBRARY.-The Directors of our
Public Library seem to be initiating new and
desirable improvements with the new year.
Hon George I. Da Wis has been placed upon the
Committee on selection of books, an appoint
ment every way suitable, for Mr.. Davis is an
accomplished scholar and gentleman, and only
too little known in this community, where, in
fact, he has not resided many years Mr.. Davis
by the way has represented the district in Con-
gress now represented by Hon. Henry l..
Dawes, and Mr. Dawes studied law with Mr.
Davis in Greenfield, Mass
The Willis collection of books and manu-
scripts has been rearranged and catalogued, and
the room put in neat order. Hereafter no per-
sons except those especially interested in some
historical matter will be allowed to have acces
to this room. AL the books in the four rooms
Of the library have been examined and promi-
nently placed, and some of the departments
enlarged by additional alcoves to meet the pres
.snt and future accession of books 1t was
work of no little labor to entirely rearrange the
document room where all duplicate books ar
kept and where all the labor of preparing, pre-
serving and cataloguing the books is done.
Miss Barbour is still connected with this de-
partment, and faithfully does she perform its
duties.
Mr. S. M. Watson, late Librarian of the
York Institute at Saco, has recently been ap-
pointed an assistant librarian, and has entered
upon his duties We may mention that Mr..
Watson was engaged for six months last year
in transcribing the ancient records of old York
for that county. These records are now the
most ancient orig nal ones extant in this coun-
try, extending back to the year 1886. Mr.. Wat
son will PROVE we trust, valuable accession
himself to the Public Library 1t will be
speciality with him to preserve and catalogue
the newspapers of the State as furnishing a
history and index Of the times. Col Adams
has placed all his old files of the Eastern
Argus in the care of Library; a full set of the
files of the Portland Advertiser since 1926 to
this time has been arranged as to date, and a
full set of the Portland Transcript volumes has
lust been secured from a careful citizen. Sets
OF the Boston Transcript, the Liberator-giv-
ing complete history of the anti-slavery strug-
gle, the Christian inteIlgencer, and the East
ern Herald, published Ly Thomas Baker Wait
in Haymarket Row, from 1892 to 1884, are ac
cessible i'll this department. A file of Niles
Weekly Register from 1911 to 1S49, complete,
has also just been added. We also noticed sew
eral new works in the French language, iu-
Guiding Henri Martins History of France in

G as, or Sm oke +?

I" 1t has all ended in smoke" is often
said of an enterprise that has failed of
accomplishment, and although Los
Angeles may be said to have Gas
Works, and is popularity supposed to
be lighted with gas, yet it needs but
short sojourn here to become con-
WINGED that this is mistake, and that
instead of gas, we are burning smoke.
How long will the people of this city
put up with such an imposition. The
Council granted the Gas Company the
right to erect gas work, to lay gas
pipes, and to- furnish gas; but it has
all ended in smoke. Certainly then,
we are under no obligation, legal or
moral, to continue this monopoly.
The people are willing to pay a
fair price for a good quality of
gas, and will patronize a company
literally. The City Council will light
the streets, when they can get light
for q reasonable figure, but when it
comes to paying $72 a year for each
lamp, for smoke, taxpayers demur.
The HERALD likes to see everybody
making money, and it has no objec-
ton to the present gas company earn
ing good fat dividends, but does not
enjoy paying 81 so per thousand
feet for smoke, nor does it particularly
admire to witness Los Angeles in
darkness, these rainy nights. The
smoke from garbage is unpleasant to
its olfactories, injurious to its lungs,
and positively ruinous to its eyes,
hence its cry for gas. If the present
company will furnish that article for a
fair price ali right, but if not, let us
have a company that will. All this
talk about exclusive privileges is bosh.
The Council had no right to make any
such grant, any more than it has to
give to one person the sole right to sell
butchers meat, or peddle vegetables
The people of Sacramento, tired of
their gas monopoly, have organized
another company and set new works
in operation. Now their streets are
lighted at cost of $3.50 per lamp, per
month, and the only thing the old mo-
nopoly growls about, is that it didn't
get chance to do the work still cheap
er. Let us have a reform of the old
company, or a new one, we don't care
which

Controlling the Railroads

The Committee on Fares and Freights
of the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce, have made voluminous report
on the subject of State control of rail-
roads. Their conclusions are not very
certain, and the information furnished
is of the same rather indefinite char
acter. They propose two bills, one to
create board of Transportation Com
missioners, and the other to punish
unjust determinations, and extortion,
in the transportation of passengers
and freight.
If the pnblic is as much at sea in
reference to railroad matters as the
Committee confesses itself to be, we
should be very cautious in legislating
on the subject. A carelessly framed
and defective act will do more to re-
tard the course of justice, and it is bet
ter to wait little while, and be sure
we are right before we go ahead.

THERE are few CHI APPS out in Ari-

the Quaker policy of our good Presi-

Apaches. From the Arizona Miner of

Rice, of the 23d Infantry, had just got
in with his command, and reports a
fight with the Indians in the foot hills
Of the Matesal mountains near the
big bend of the East Fork of the Verde
river. The first rancherie struck was
that of old Del-Che who barely es-
capped with four warriors and four
women. From the second rancherie
only one escaped. Twenty-three were
killed and twelve, all women and
children, were captured

The un-"educated'' blackguard
across the street, some time since,
being out of news to publish, devoted
himself to writing an account OF
an imaginary bigamy case, locating
it in San Bernardino county. The
court was made to decide that a
man could have two wives if he chose,
and the world, as far the writer was
concerned was left to suppose that big
amy was judicially established in our
neighboring county. Once started, OF
course there are always fools that will
believe lie, no matter how transpar-
ent, and the citizens Of San Bernardino
have the satisfaction Of seeing this
silly falsehood floating through the
Eastern press. Naturally they ex-
press their contempt for paper that
has nothing better to do, and among
his other "kind words" of New Years
eve, our twilight scandal-monger calls
everybody an ass, that can't appreciate
the humor of his witless squib.

Vasquez and his Gang.

Though almost week has passed
away since the unparalleled outrage
perpetrated at Kingston, in Fresno
county, and though this is the second
raid made by the desperate Vasquez,
we have not yet learned of any decided
measures being taken by the authori-
ties to bring this band of ruffians to
justice. That town can be captured,
and it's citizens turned over to plumber
is disgrace to the whole State, and the
authorities at Sacramento should take
such action as will ensure the utter ex-
termination of this band Of cut-throats.
Rewards for these criminals, dead or
alive, ought to be offered in an amount
that will fill the mountains with eager
pursuers. determination is the only
cure for these marauders.
