The Damrosch RecItal.

On Wednesday last MT. Walter Dam rosch began his course of explanatory re- citals on Wagner's comic opera Die Meistersinger." He took up the overture and first act, explaining the meaning and suggestions of the overture by giving a Germany in the middle of the eighteenth century, as it existed in quaint old Nurnberg There, since the time of the Meinisingers, the art of music had been loved and studied first among the aristo- cracy, and later by the thoughtful ones among the burghers of the town. To pre- serve alike in it's nature, purity and dig nifty, certain rules for composition and singing had been made; after a while, more and more rules had been added; the purity became primness, the dignity grew to be pomposity, the rules became letters and to break these bounds disqualified one from obtaining the prize in the musi- cal contests. After thus explaining the outlook of the overture, MT. Damrosch went onto the first act, boa Pogner, the %ssRer von pretty gtozns daughter ans knight met by chance in the old church after service and fall in love with each other. Walther determines to win Eva's hand, which her father has promised to give only to "Mastersinger." To become mastersinger he must submit to trial of his musical powers before the assembled mastersingers, who tie him down to rules and regulations of the most pedantic kind. He sings as his poetic heart prompts him, but through the ill., natured jealousy of the town clerk, who is also an aspirant for Eva's hand, he is credited with so many faults, that the masters declare him out of the race. The only one among them who in the least appreciates Walther's power, and the truth and poetry in his music, is the genial, thoughtful poet cobler Hans Sachs. This Hans Sachs, by the way, was 8 real character in Nurnbsrg in the sixteenth century, and was loved and hon. ored by his townsmen, who, after his death, erected a statue to his memory.) This man, though not fully understanding why Walther's son should SO move him, thinks he deserves fair hearing and en- courages him to sing, but the discussion finally becomes tumult and the curtain falls on scene of disorder.
 The next two lectures, this afternoon at 2:30 and on Wednesday next, will tell how finally Walther sings the song that wins for him the coveted prize.

 A hairpin factory situated on the New Haven and Derby turnpike about mile out from the latter place was destroyed by fire Wednesday night. The building was owned by George T.

From the hands of the Hitchcocks it passed to those of the Hawkins Brothers, who used it for . stub joint mill. Afterward Dewitt Lock- wood carried on the wood turning business there, and after standing idle for some time MT, Johnson occupied it as stated. z.

AFTER ADJOURNMENT

Just after adjournment, as Senator Cleveland passed Senator Pierce on his way to the cloak room, he made some re- marks as to the way the latter senator was pledging the others to do things which they did not wish to do, and that he was going back on his party. To this Senator Pierce replied that until the senator from the First apologized for his insulting language he need never speak to him again. By this time the other sena- tors present had induced Senator Cleve- land to retire to the ante room where later MT. Cleveland and MT. Pierce shook hands and fixed up the breach.

cial The Rev. j. Nice. Duckwall was
installed pastor of the Blueficld Prcsby.

OTHER LAWS AIRS NEEDED.

The failure of the Spring Garden Ma
tional Bank in Philadelphia on Friday
came like a thunderclap from clear
sky TO dozens of anxious depositors. fol-
| lowing, las it does so, closely on the heels
| of tho recent keystone Bank explosion
| in the same city. From the investiga-
tons made into the latter institutions
affairs and cursory glance at the later
| failure, it appears that wildcat bust
ness of the worst type was carried on
by the chief officials without the knowl-
edge of the Directors. Both banks car
ried as deposits in aggregate over half
million of city funds and there is no
question but that much of the sum is
absolute less, or at the most can not be
recovered without endless litigation.
Stringent as tho national banking
laws are, the dozens of failures and sus-
pensions of that character call for other
regulations than now exist, particularly
when under present circumstances,
public institutions officers can bring
ruin to hundreds of citizens and not be
detected until the damage is an absolute
certainty. The next Congress can eradi-
cate large element of disturbance in
the country's finances by enacting some
law tending to that end.
The best remedy that offers is a more
frequent examination Of affairs by the
district official specially chosen for the
purpose and a more rigid compliance
with the rule forbidding the discount
ing of individual or corporation paper
to an amount exceeding 10 per cent. Of
the capital stock.
