ADJUSTMENTS.
The Close OF The Festival.

The grand oratorio of Elijah"
Mendelssohn's lofty musical structure,
as interpreted by the Thomas artists,
aidedoby the Mozart Society, last
night, proved fitting close to the
great music festival. The music OF
this masterpiece of a great master is
full Of devotional melodic sentiment,
and the immense audience of more
than three thousand people. repre-
senting all interior points within
radius of two hundred miles, listened
! with close attention from the time the
first note was sounded until the close
of the sacred entertainment The
Mozart Society's chorus executed their
part of the work with precision and
in the most beautiful manner. The
audience was dismissed a quarter be-
fore eleven, and they went to their
respective homes apparently much
delighted with their impressions.
The Thomas musical festival
has proven a brilliant and triumph
ant success beth artistically and 6nan-
cially. At the matinee concert yes
terday the programme was a miscel-
laneous one, the first part being wholly
devoted to Beethoven's compositions.
In one, "Tremate, empy, Tremate," op
ll6, vocal trio, Mrs. Humphrey
Allen, Mr.. Fred Harvey and Mr..
Franz Remmertz gave evidence
/ of their vocal ability by
most beautiful Interpretation. There
was also a Beethoven chorus, Sea
Calm and Happy Voyage" by the
Mozart Society's we'll trained chorus,
accompanied by the Thomas orchestra
and led by Professor Downs, to whom
Mr.. Thomas gracefully resigned the
baton. The same thing occurred
when in the second part, Schumann's
Gypsy Life" and Bach's Venetian
Boatman's Evening Song" were given
by the Mozart chorus and the Thomas
orchestra together, Professor Downs
proved himself a capable and accom-.
plished director. The second part OF
the programme, besides the foregoing,
included selections from Mendelssohn,
List, Weber and Handel, the last
being the "Hallelujah Chorus" from
the Messiah, sung by the Mozarts, and
with accompaniment by the Thomas
orchestra. A conspicuous feature
was Mrs. Belle Coles successful sing,
ing of the aria, 20, Fatimia," from the
opera of F'Abu Hassau." The lady
increased the good impression made
upon her appearance the previous
evening. Julia Rive-King also exe-
cuted fantasia on Hungarian airs by
Lizst with such marvellous skill that
she evoked a storm of enthusiastic
applause. The people of this city and
vicinity gave Thomas and his troupe
and the Mozarts royal reception, and
the latter returned the compliment by
giving the people a royal entertain
ment of classical and sacred music of
the most refined and eloquent descrip.
ton, The festival has proven a tri-
umphant victory.

nomination. In fact their action fell little
short of persecution, as they used every
effort to prevent people joining her church.
To Miss Oliver personally they did not object.
She was a modest, intelligent, earnest Chris
tan woman; but she was woman, and had
no business to preach. No matter how elo-
quent her sermons nor how fervent her
prayers, she was out of her place in their es
timation, and they would not countenance

off land and exhort the heather to her
hearts content, but she must not venture

Paul's structures on the female sex did not
apply, of course, to missionaries who went
to China or Polynesia, but they were emphat-
ically applicable in Brooklyn and to Miss

recognize Miss Oliver. Her church was loyal
and willing to follow her lead and let the

refused to place her charge in a position to
its disadvantage.
Hamperea and hindered in her efforts, and
convinced at last that ministers, who should
of all men be most liberal and charitable
were hopelessly narrowminded and prejur-
diced, she has resigned her pastorate. She
has demonstrated that a woman can run
church, win converts and care for the poor
and sick, and has also shown that, in spite of
all that is said to the contrary, the way is
not clear for woman to prove her ability in
any line of work she may choose. What Miss
Oliver has done is one thing what she and
women like her might accomplish, were they
aided by the men who assume the exclusive
privilege OF preaching the gospel to all the
world, women included is a thing which
stands small chance of demonstration.

bombs and petroleum:
''They are not frightening England a bit,
but they are doing horrible injury to Irish
men and to Ireland. They are evicting hon

cruel poverty. They are hurting Irish girls
upon the streets of English cities. They are

words should be needed, For Ireland, strik-

partisanship in the Legislature Offices have
been abolished, indeed, but only for the pur-
pose of getting rid OF Republican incum-

Democrats. Partisanship has displaced the

of the latter better things were to be expect

THE Cincinnati News, the Democratic organ
Of Ohio, in discussing the Irish situation
,ays:
"The dynamite policy, of course, cannot
last The whole world frowns upon that
and nothing but terrible war between Eng
land and some other power, or the breaking
out of the universal revolution, can enable
the few dynamite leaders to press much fur
ther or much longer that sort of warfare.
The Parnels must determine to let the tide
ebb and lose the opportunity, or they must
use the forces they have aroused to strike
In open arms Ireland would have the
sympathy of all America and half the
world The dynamite policy finds little
sympathy in any quarter. When Parnell
sat dumb and then, answering Forster re-
fused to approve or disapprove the violent
measures adopted, he appeared very near the
forks of the road where O'Connell missed
the way. Beyond all question: he must,
with the growth of feeling and bitterness on
both sides, either approve or disapprove; and
I'm the latter event lie must find better
way OF action, or consent to see the ebbing of
the tide which followed Clontarff. If he APP
prove, he must expect to see a sharp and
bitter conflict between the British govern
ment and the dynamite policy, with the
kympathies of all the world chilled to
neutrality, or going with order against a
savage and atrocious warfare"

WE copy largely the comments and cur
rentrumor with respect to the present stu
alton of affairs in and about Ireland. 1t is
now the absorbing question. That crisis
is approaching is patent, and the overthrow
of the Gladstone ministry is by no means
improbable. In the present excited and
hostile state of public opinion in England
any new Parliament or government would
certainly be repressive, and every hope for
present means in securing right and justice
through legal forms would be at an end.
All true friends of Ireland and of the adj
yancement of the cause of human liberty and
of popular government are watching events
with the deepest concern.

request of small congregation which had
been torn with factions and was at odds with

faithfully, and in the four years succeeded in
bringing harmony out of discord, largely in
