THE FINAL CONCERT.
a Musical Success and Financial Failuro.

The matinee yesterday afternoon
and concert last night completed
the Philharmonic season. We do
not know that we are under obliga-
tion to mince matters. In nearly
every detail the musical features
of the series of concerts were ar
tistic and thorough. Musicians
from nearly all parts of Southern
California participated in the exer-
clses. They were drawn here by a
genuine devotion to beautiful art,
and they comprised an amount of
musical skill and culture remark
able under the circumstances. Our
own very large local musical con-
stituency adopted the idea Of Sc
ries of general concerts with enthu-
siasm. The Horticultural Pavilion
has the area of large cathedral
and admirable acoustic character
istics. Our people should have
warmed up to the enterprise en-
masse and they simply failed to do
50. This Is the truth of the matter ar
rayed in the Georgia costume of a
shirt collar and pair of spurs.
1--WE hate to use that indelicate
phrase, the naked truth.
The matinee was not eXtrava-
gantly attended yesterday after
noon, nor was the attendance in
the evening, although much larger,
what it should have been. The
following programme was rendered
last night, with some transpositi0n
in its order, but In full.

This time the full complement of

hand and the Anvil Chorus came
off according to programme.
The most marked event of the
evening was double encore which
the audience insisted upon tender
ing to Miss Perry.
Ii we had the space, there are
many features of this charming Sc
ries of concerts which we would
like to dwell upon. We trust that
the next time our Philharmonic
friends exert themselves to please
the public the latter will be in a
more responsive mood than during
the present season.

The japanese Flag Abroad.

The Japanese steam corvette Seike,
with crew of 152 men and six guns,
has arrived at Toulon. This is the first
time that japanese war vessel has Wis
tied Europe. The Chinese could have
easily forestalled their neighbors by
showing the flag with the five-clawed
dragon in the Mediterranean. 1t will
be remembered that a corvette carrying
200 men and thirteen guns, called the
Yang Woo, was launched at the Imperi-
al Arsenal, Foochow, in 1872, under the
direction of Mr.. Prosper Giquel. She
was intended at one time to carry round
the world, somewhat after the fashion of
the French Jean Bart, the officers edu-
Gated at the arsenal, who were to COM
plete their practical education on board
Of her. She visited Japan, Manila and
Singapore, but unfortunately did not go
beyond the Indian ocean. 1t is to be
hoped that the example, set by japan
will be followed by the Chinese govern
ment.-Sha,,ghai Celestial Empire.

Discovery OF a New Tea Plant.
Pail Mall Gazette,

Teetotalers and the advocates of
temperance generally will be interested
to learn that discovery of an impor-
tant nature is reported from Asia
Minor. A plant which produces tea of
excellent quality mas, 1t is stated, been
found growing in wild, uncultivated
state, in the neighborhood of the city of
Trebizond. Tea made from the leaves
of this plant is said TO possess all the
virtues and aroma OF tea grown in Chi.

other day, chiefly to Persians, who are
great tea-drinkers, and, recognizing the
merits Of this Trebizond tea, are buying
the produce of the newly discovered
plant and sending it to their own coun.
try. The tea was sold at 20 piasters

fetch y much higher price. The vii

leaves in the sun, process which

forseeing the great advantage to the
country which is likely to arise by en-
couraging the growth of the tea plant,
has asked the government to annul the
forest dues if demanded by the woods
and forests authorities, on the ground
that the leaves Of the plant being picked
from bushes growing on the river
banks, the new industry does no. fairly
come within the operation of the forest
laws. On the other hand, a tax of
twenty per cent. is talked Of as about to
be imposed on the production Of Trebi-
zond tea; and if this intention is carried
into effect the villagers will not be en-
couraged to start in business as tea mer.

THEICARISA COxxUNIrYN IOWA.
It's Reported Failare..A Trappist Colony
TO BE- Established In PENNSYLVANIA.

A letter from Corning, Iowa, to the
Messenger Funco-American, announces
the dissolution of the Icarian commu-
nity in that state. 1t is reported that
an agent of tho Trappists OF France is
on the way to Philadelphia, charged
with the duty of purchasing land for
the foundation of monastery of that
order IN Pennsylvania. From this it
would appear that the most extreme of
the French ascetics are prosperous and
progressive, while an experiment Of
French socialism is given no as a fail
ure. The coincidence of these events
offer a curious subject of inquiry and
speculation to the student of social
problems. Three trustees have been
appointed to wind up the affairs Of
lcaria and an effort is to be made to re.
wye the community, which is wholly
French. The new Trappists enterprise
Is bottomed upon hard work and lives
OF self-denial. The Pennsylvania mon.
astery will be the fourth that has been
established in this country, the Trappist
colony having been founded in Penn.

III Nova Scotia. where it still exists: the
second near Bardstown, Kentucky. in
1S4S, and the third near DUBUQUE,
Iowa. The colonists who take part in
the fourth experiment are expert work
men in all the trades, architects, physi-
clans, artists, dairymen, tanners; all are
bound by their oath to silence and
labor; they will build their own monas-
terry, and will be in working order early
next year. 1t is announced that two
hundred monks are assigned to this
service, drawn from monasteries in
France, Ireland and Turkey, and that
they will be self supporting from the
start.

Temperance In Missouri.

Ex-Gov. Farwell, Of Wisconsin, now
of Grant City, Worth Co., Mo-, writes to
q prominent temperance worker rs
follows: "This state of Missouri is wide
awake on the temperance question.
In this county we could give large
majority vote in favor of prohibition.
Every one of our county officers wear
the blue ribbon. No distillery, brew
cry, saloon, or Jail here. More than
this, no man can get the nomination for
any office, who is known to be an habit
ual drinker. The temperance people
in Missouri recognize in the liquor traf-
fic a business that endangers property
and life; business that makes bad citi-
zens and fits them for any and all
crimes. Let us have prohibition, for it
means law and order, education, clothing
and shoes for millions of poor children.
Further, low taxes, active trade, hap
piness and good cheer to the crushed
women and men, and saving OF mil
lions per annum of wasted wealth, to
pour into the pockets Of honest labor.
This temperance cause presents an ls-
sue, rising far higher than party strife,
and is receiving its adherents from the
best people of our country, calling up
the deepest feelings of their nature to
secure the removal of the evil which
has largely Frustrated our land. Hun
dreds are joining hands every day to
march forth and capture the enemy.
Even now no party will consent to legis-
late adversely in the nations struggle
for better government and for life:
Alcohol is the worst enemy Of the IN
dividual town. city, or state; it appeals
to our manhood to annihilate it by pro
hibition in the United States, as bcins
the greatest reform movement anc
greatest religious work of the century

MOntague's Attrnctiveness to Women.

The actor Montague, according to a
correspondent of the Boston Herald,
was wonderful favorite with New
York women, and we'll worth $3.50 a
week rs an attraction for Wallack's
theatre. 1T is to his credit" says the
writer, that he was not hummer,
nor frequenter of bar-rooms. Indeed,
he was not inclined to dissipation of the
ruder sorts. He was too nice for that,
if not too sensible. He had few asso-
ciates among actors. There is no ex-
aggeration about the stories of the great
number Of letters received by Mon
tague from women and girls who were
strangers to him. The writer's were in
many cases married women, and might
have been seriously compromised had
he been as indiscreet as they. AS
rule he burned these missives, but not
always; yet he kept himself tolerably
free from promiscuous intrigues. The
general adulation of the fair ones
seemed to satisfy him. How intense
was that adulation was indicated by the
extensive sale Of his photographs. They
were displayed in the fancy goods stores,
Wnere women cOngregateu. In one
play he wore his hair in flat curl at
at each side of his forehead, like the
spitcurls Of childhood, and from that
came the initiative fashion among wo-
men of a row of just such curls. They
are called "Montagues," Montague's
friends say that his late improvement in
acting was due to determination to
merit the praise IF his own sex. How
cvcI, within tho t+eo or.ti.s bofo.o his
death he was willing to taks advantage
of his special popularity among women.
He arranged for benefit performance
at Booths theatre, and, a week before
hand, advertised that tickets could be
bought at his private residence, the
street and number being given. The
idea proved hit. To buy tickets of
Montague, personally, was boon in.
deed. Perhaps, in the interchange Of
tickets and money, the purchasers hand
might touch his. A bit of conversation
with him was not improbable, even.
All the seats in the theatre were sold
before the night of the performance,
and the clear profit was about two
thousand dollars"
