LTRERATI PLAYED
at the Concert Given in Turner

The announcement that Signor
hiberati, the great cornet yirtuoso,
was to take part in Seibert's concert
last evening was sufficient to fill Tur-

began. Liberati rendered concert

wards gave Hartman's ''Fantaisien

core lie responded with Nearer,

,bra1n s. Heuitt's War Services.

When the war broke out Mr. Hewitt placed
his services at the disposal Of the government
at Washington. He was not fitted either By
nature or training for military position, but
he possessed technical knowledge Of iron
manufacture and remarkable skill in diplo-
macy which made his services of far greater
value to the government than if he had been
a graduate Of West Point or Annapolis On
two occasions he was sent abroad by Presi.

OF the government. On both occasions he

The Literature of Today.

More and more, in the quicker action Of
mind upon mind, the magazine and tee news
paper are coming to absorb the utterances OF
those who have something to say. Nobody
can wait to put his thought into a book be-
fore he speaks 1t 10 the world. and the result
is that many books il the first instance are
given to the public under the spur Of inper-
sonal journalism or through the medium Of
the great reviews. The hardship of this
tendency is felt in the production of the best
literature. Nobody can today follow the
Horatian maxim and keep his manuscript
long enough for its leaves 10 grow yellow in
his drawer Every one must strike while the
iron is hot, and the use of the lie early and
late, which gave the Greek literature its ex-
qUisite finish, is sadly lacking in the rough
ana ready literature OF the day.
The tendency of all writing in our own
time is TO the haste and waste that are the
curse of good style. Even so excellent a
writer as Mr. Arnold, whose earlier work was
rs fine as that OF ''AmielS Journal in the
hurT,y OF his efforts to catch the next number
OF the magazine, neglected to put the finish
ing touches 10 his essays, and was caught il
the same tolls that have narred the work OF
most of his contemporaries. And vet the
same rules hold good today that held with
ThucydideS and Horace, the rules thae dis
tiuguish good work from poor, good thought
from thought irperfectly set in words. The
danger OF modern letters IS that literature

The officers of the society exercise judi
cial functions and all minor disputes of a
civil character are commonly left TO them.
But it is not only the civil dispute that is
left to them. They form, in executive
board. court corresponding to our general
term, and in case OF offenses against the
society, even in the gravest matters they
try the offender, and if he is found guilty
pronounce his sentence, even II it be the
extreme one of death, and issue the warrant
for execution to the Highlander.
The Highlander is not only the sheriff,
but he also acts as a warrior in case Of
fights between the societies. The societies
are generally on good terms with one an
other. having similar objects and some
times, as stated, having members who be-
long to several societies at once. Some
times they clash, however, and when they
do. il the quarrels are not settled by arbi-
tration, there Is inevitable bloodshed. The
character of their quarrels is difficult to
explain or even to understand, but the
ouarrels resemble those between towns in
the feudal ages, when men-at-arms would
fight at sight. and would ever sally forth in
search Of prey. FALEs-CURTIs.
