in MEMORY OF LUTHER.
A Beautiful Reformation Fes-
tivaI.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,

UoRNER Bu1LpING, SALEM, Va.
The Childrens Missionary Society OF
tho Lutheran Church celebrated q re-
formation festival Sunday night in the
Lutheran Church which was crowded
with members and friends. The festi-
val was to commemorate the mailing Of
the theses on tho door of the Witten-
burg Church by Martin Luther, on the
31st of Ootober, 1917.
At 1880 the children commenced sing
ing in the basement of the Church, and
then to the strains of the organ marched
down both aisles to the reading desk,
which was decked with flowers. After
the reading Of q psalm, prayer and the
singing of a hymn or two, the children
took places in the Church, and then one
by one, boys, commencing with the
smallest first,) came up to the reading
desk and each described portion of
the life of the great reformer, ending
with little girl, Prof. Crabtree's
seven year old daughter who in clear,
sweet voice, read the beautiful letter
Luther wrote TO his children showing
his great love for them.
After this the children went through
a short catechism, in which their an
swers gave number of interesting facts
and figures regarding the present con-
dition of the Lutheran Church. A col
lection for foreign missions was then
taken up. and it was stated that this
school supported little Hindoo girl at
the mission school in Rajahmundy, In
dia, which mission school is presided
over by lady and gentleman who were
married in Salem last summer. AT the
conclusion of the services the children
marched out singing. The musical pro-
gramme was beautifully carried out
under the dire ,tion of Rev. c. A. Mil
Ter, who is as an accomplished musician
as he is talepted divine, popular man,
and practical everyday Christian.

however, on the part of good citizens OF all
parties that it will stand no chance in the Sem
ate. The Senate is Republican, and the Re-
publican party does not take its orders from

USIC-THE DRAMA.
TRISTAN AND ISOLDE.n

After the German opera season is over, II not be-
fore, some serious-mlnded individual ought to write q
disquisition upon the influence Of Wagner's music upon
the voice, memory, emotions and dramatic capabilities
of the singers OF the Metropolitan Opera Company, as
exhibited in the works that have been performed. One
Of the interesting pages in the history OF Tristan und
ISOLDE tells of the withdrawal of the work from the
Imperial opera, after long preparation, when first the
attempt to give 1t was made there because Of the ina
bnty of the singers to memorize their parts. From
the beginning OF the p0emical battle concerning Wag-
ner's art till now there has been no cessation Of the
cry that his music is so unvocal that the strain which
IL puts upon the voice is beyond endurance. Yet the
lesson Of the representations at the Metropolitan no.
only this year, but ever since German opera was estab-
lisled there, Is that the greater the task set for the
singers the greater has been the ease and spon.
taneity with which it has been accomplished.
Nine. Lehman being demonstrated with a couple
of years ago for the reckless prodigality with
which she used her voice in a representation
OF "Tristan,' replied, laughingly, that she could
sing the parts Of Isolde and Bruennhilde with
less WEAKNESS than any of Icr old Italian roles. As
for Iapses of memory they have been less frequent In
the works which twenty years ago were considered all
but impossible than in the simpler works OF the Old
rcpcrtOry. As Sachs observes in /" Die Meistersinger,'
in accounting for Walther's trial song, the capacity for
uttcrance seems to grow with the need.
This was illustrated again In a strlking manner ias'
nlCnt at tHc HFSJ ltpltSchttuoh to ""
Tristan und Isolde.' All the singers concerned but
espsciaIly Frau Miclkc and Herr Gudehus, swung them
selves ND 10 a pitch Of dramatic intensity which MADE
the task OF singing apparently an easy matter and the
general effect OF the performance was exceedingly
energetic and inspiriting. IL Is seldom, even at the
Metropolitan, that a representation passes OF with so
much freedom Of utterance and action. There was
no need on the part Of the singers to neglect their
dramatic business 70 stare at the conductor, for they
. ot one I'm sympathy with Mr. Seidl and his
orchestra gave an eloquent proclamation, not only OF
his feelings and intentions, but also those OF the
singers. uu.
The people Of the play were these: Tristan; Herr
Gudphus: isolde. Frau Mielhc BTan2aene, Frau Ritter
GoetZe whO sang with much warmth and correctness
of sentiment hut rather ovcrfiif the actlng)' knrwenal,
Herr Iuria: MclOt. Herr Won I%Iubbenet; Seemann, Herr
DippcI: Stenermann, Herr Schuster; lirt, Herr
Mueller. After each act there were demonstrations oi
delight and Mr.. Scidl received the customary caHs
before the curtain. The audience, however, was not
as numerous as il has been Of late.

HER MAJESTY'S o Il

Our correspondent at 81. Johns. NewfOund-
land. sends us an interesting analysis " the
arguments offered by counsel in the famous case
Of James Baird. a Newfoundland merchant.
against Sir Baldwin Walker, captain of Her
Maies,y's ship Emerald. The question at issue
is one Of the highest importance. Ii relates TO
the sovcrcigr'S authority to make treaties, the
Crown claiming that Mr.. Baird wishes to lint
its prerogative, and the subject insisting that
no right is vested in the Queen 10 seize his
property except in pursuance Of law. She says
she did it as an act Of state. He says she Is
only a part Of the State. lie and his fellow
subjects are the other part, and there can be no
act of State committed by her against them any
more than by them against her; nor can she
under any disguise, whether as an act OF State
or in pursuance of her authority to enter into
treaties, trespass upon his property Or embar-
rass him in the lawful use Of it without his
consent. 4 Circumstance which renders the
case especially noteworthy is that the British
Government pledges to pay the plaintiff fairly
assessed damages whether he wins the case or
loses. 1t defends only for the purpose Of pro-
tecting the Crowns prerOgatiyes, and Mr.. Walk
er Sues only for the purpose OF indicating the
rights Of a British subject in a Self-g0yerning
colony.
When Lord Salisbury, appealed to by Mr..
Blaine in the interest OF peace and friendship
to suppress Canadian sealing in Behring Sea
during the tendency of a proposed negotiation,
refused on the ground that he had no authority
to do so, Tie TRIBUSE accused him of direct

The trustees Of the metropolitan Museum are
now endcavOring to enlarge its collection CT
casts, and in furthering this purpose have
issued an appeal for subscriptions. They are
greatly encouraged by the fact that the sum OF
$40, 900 has beer pledged already. out OF Il
total of 500 600 which they think will be
sufficient, in connection with what the Museum
now possesses, to form a satisfactory collection
1t is obvious that reproductions OF the master
pieces of sculptural ard architectural ant are
obtainable at this day only in rare instances.
The originals are scattered through the world,
and no single collection can ever hope to ap-
proach completeness. The chief museums OF
Europe, following the lead Of Berlin, have gwen
great care to the requirement and arrangement
of casts illustrating. through the best examples
