He Warns the Law-Making Powers
to Render to God the Things
Which Are His.

"Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which are Caesars, and unto God the
things which are God's."-Mat. 1921
This answer was given to the Phari.
sees to the question put by them whether
it was lawful to give tribute to Caesar OF
not, leaving them to determine what was
Cesar's and what was Gods, only so far
as the penny was concerned which bore
the image of Caesar, which was evidence
that Caesar was the owner; and we have
heard much said in Congress and among
all classes, in the last tV enty years, about
money, seen much written on the sub
iect : congressman have declared in
debate that gold and silver was natural
money; that God made these metals for
money.
Now, if these things are true, when
God begins to work, and wants money
to carry on that work, He will usee His
own money to do the work with. But
when the war of the rebellion broke out,
and God had determined to abolish the
system of African slavery in this beloved
country. the gold and silver soon found
its way into the bank vaults and stayed
there. But God was not to be stopped
by this move. He put ideas into the
minds of his children, with old Thad.
Stephens as their pilot, on the money
question, and caused, to be issued money
of the people, and used by the people
and for the people (which are His chill:
dren), and the object sought was gained
But. the children Of the devil were not
satisfied. They burned up the money
that had done so much good, and have
made US pay tribute to Caesar in Caesars
money for twenty years, and the govern

Dublin tradesmen, drawing attention to
the trials held there the last eighteen

he referred to the success of the league in
America. Referring to the pope's circular,
he declared the interference of the pope in
the Parnell testimonial indicated a peril

ture political affairs of the Irish people,
but that the priests maintained dignitied
silence, with which, he said, Parnelps ad-
mirers were satisfied.

The Closing Concern ct st. P0,tL.

Again the great hall at the Market house
was crowded in every corner,to hear the clos
ing concert of the festival. The festival.
as ii whole, has been musical success, and
it is to lie hoped also, financial one. The
ensemble of the concert consisted of Thorn
as orchestra, Nine. Rive-King, Mrs.
Humphreys Allen, Mrs. Belle Cole, Mr..
Fred Harvey and Mr.. Remmertz, and the
festival chorus. The audience was large
and appreciative, even larger than
that of Monday evening, but as usual,
were late of getting seated. Mr.. Thomas
took the baton at 8:12 and opened the con-
cert with Schubert's symp hony in B minor.
The composition was unfinished, only the
allegro moderate and andante con motto be-
ing finished. The first movement opens
in simple construction, q smooth running
theme gradually working up to intricate
harmonies, with some fine crescendos back
to the first movement. The conception is
quite original, but is not SO pleasing as
some of the masters works but faultlessly
played and here the performance came to
halt to allow people to take their seats.
Quiet having been obtained
the orchestra proceeded with the
andante con moto-the construction
being much in the same idea as the first
movement, only change of tempo.
No. 5. Tenor aria, Sound the Alarm"
from the oratorio of Judas, by Handel.
Mr.. Rarvey's voice has not the timber for
such heavy music. He would do better to
take compositions more suited to his Ca
pacity. He received a very generous ap-
plause.
No. 3. ''Invitation to Dance" by Weber,
adapted for orchestra by Berhoz. This
cemrosition is well arranged, being very
bright and sparkling, and consequently
popular. The precision with which it was
played was perfect, and showed the diff
ferent combinations to great advantage.
1t was greeted with hearty applause.

performed by Nine. Rive-King and orches-
ira. This number was piece of perfec-
Enthusiastically fauItless. Such playing

DECORATION day was observed in St.
Paul with greater pomp than ever before
since the Inauguration of the ceremony. A
few years ago 1t almost fell into disuse,
but the renewal of interest has made the
latter observances surpass the first. In
the afternoon the city was we'll nigh de-
serted. Banks and business places were
closed and thousands of people thronged
the cemeteries. What was true of st. Paul
seems to have been true of the whole
country. kilograms from all parts
of the country (many of which are
omitted) give one uniform state
ment that the observance was more gener-
al than any previous occasion. It Is a
patriotic duty to devote one day in the
year to doing honor to the memory of
those who died to preserve the integrity
of the country and the fact that the OBJ
servance becomes more general as the
years elapse, is gratifying evidence of
the love of country.

New YORK, May 3O.-At the annual
meeting of the Pacific Mail Steamship com
pany held to-day, President J. B. Houston
reported that the act prohibiting the i'm
migration of the Chinese had caused a fall

lars, but that the number carried to Brit
lsh Columbia had made up for this loss.
The contest between Chill and Peru had
been injurious to the company's interest
but the work on the Panama canal has
added to their freight receipts. The entire
Indebtedness of the company is now less
than $1,000,000 due to the Panama rail-
road company, which is being liquidated
at the rate of $4,000 per month. The net
earnings during the year were nearly per
cent. on the capital stock. The total earn
ings for the year were $4.1O2,764, and ex-
penses $3,190,506. The following directors
were elected by votes representing 10000
shares: Jay Gould, Sidney Dillon, Russell

erbach and j. B. Houston. They will or
ganize and elect officers in day or two.

MADRID, May 3O.-The Ceramic exhibit

The plan discussed in the internal rev.
enue bureau for the reduction, contem-
plates the reduction of the present one
hundred and twenty-six districts to ninety,
this being, it is claimed, as large reduc-
ton as is permissible without conflict with
the public interests. By this arrangement
Pennsylvania would lose five districts,
Ohio four, and Massachusetts one. The
revenues have been largely reduced by the
acts of congress, and the multiplied list of
collection districts must be cut down and
expenses curtailed. But if this last is &C.
complished there will be different ar.
rangement than in Pennsylvania. In the
York district it cost $1,525 to collect $780,
600, while in the Lancaster district $780,
600 was collected at cost of

cent bouquet of flowers.
No. 5. "The Damnation of Faust" by
Berlios. OF this composition much has
been said and written, and certainly it is
the most novel piece of composition which
we have eyer heard. It is bristling with
difficulties. To say that it is appropriate
we could not take upon ourselves to give
an opinion having had no such experience,
but leave that to the Imagination of the
listeners. Its effects are jerkey and odd,
and the composer has evidently labored 70
BRING out every combination capable of
being produced by an orchestra. It must
be heard to be understood. Its originality
Is Its success. The composition was ex-
qulsitely played, as everything is that Mr..
Ihomas produces. 1t was appIauded to
the echo and Mr.. Thomas received quite an
ovation.
The concert was brought to a close by
Slgnor Jannotta, conducting the "ErI
Kings Daughter" by Gade. The COM
position is one of weird effects, lust rs
could be naturally infused into a com.
poser's mind from an old Danish fairy
legend. The music is most effective and
entirely original and suitable to the poem.
Inc solos were taken by Mr.. Allen, Mrs.
Cole, Mr.. Harvey and Mr.. Remmertz. and
the fairy by six ladies belonging to the So
ciety. The orchestration is full, intricate
and sparkling. The chorus did splendidly
and the effect, with the support of the
splendid orchestra, was immense.
Take the composition as a whole
it was most creditable performance.
Signor Jannotha has worked faithfully
with the chorus-and the results are mani
fest. We would just state here, that Sig
nor Jannotta has done an immense
amount of work for the furtherance of
music in the short time he has been here
and much of the credit for the success of
the festival is due to his conscientious and
painstaking efforts.
Thus closed the great May Festival of
Music in st. Paul. Now that beginning
has been made, let it be the beginning of
of great effort for improvement in the
highest branch of all art-Music.

these places of rest for the weary, of sport
for the children and of enjoyment for
people of leisure are confded to the care
of intelligent, public-spirited ladies, they

as they too often are under the care of
men, slip-shod and uninviting in every
respect.
