ABSOLUTELY PURE
ELocUrIoN AND MUSIC.
The Relation of These Branches of Art
to Each Other.

The sixth and last lecture OF the course under
the auspices of the Conservatory OF Arts was de-
Hvered yesterday morning by Mr.. Joseph Ship
pen upon "Elocution IN its Relation to Music
select and attentive audience OF ladies and
gentlemen were In attendance. Mr. shipper
opened his lecture with brief tribute to the
genius and Character of James Russell Lowell,
mentioning his pleasant memories of the de-
ceased poet as professor OF modern languages in
Harvard college, OF the "CommemOration ODE of
1863, and his subsequent career in literary and
pubic life, recitng one Of his anti-slavery poems
ana reading poetic tribute Of Ainot j. Savage
proceeding to the subject assigned, the lecturer
dweit on tie aims and methods OF music as an
art having its prime object to please to move the
sensibiities and possibly to inspire and incite to
action Thereby the sense Of hearing alone is
affected by succession OF pleasing SQUADS The
marvellous organ Of the voice was dwelt on az
communicating through the ear to the
heart and soul of man, capable Of being
reached by silence even as by sound
All music is dependent upon rhythm,
melody and dynsmics, or time, pitch and sound,
and through the infinite variations by instru-
menfs and voices the effects have been pro-
dueed that have charmed and moved the world
The legend of the past tell of the triun1phs OF
0rpheus, OF Faranelli. of Mozart. while in mod
ern times the world has the Wagnerian festivals
at Beyreuth and the promise of unsurpassed
combinations at the Chicago exposition, and an
other farewell tour by Patti. As an art music
has been rapidly growing in the estimation Of
mankind, and despite diversity Of opinion upon
the subject of its relative place among the arts,
no branch is advancing with more rapid strides
The lecturer then spoke OF the art OF public
speech aud dramatic art, stating his objection
to the terms "elocution" and ''naturalness" as
ambiguous and misleading The aim OF oratory
is to prove, persuade and please. The points OF
disagreement in aims and methods were dwelt
upon, and then the points of agreement,
whereby expression is attained through con-
sistent use Of tune, pitch and force. IIustra-
tons and incidents were given through the lee
ture, and a variety of opinions agreeing and dis
agreeing with the lecturer were freely expressed

BURGLARS IN SOUTH SEATTLE.
Three Crimes Committed by the Same
Gang of Crooks.

A pair of burglars entered the residence of
Archie C.. Stetson in south Seattle, Tuesday
night, and when Mr. Stetson heard them he
jumped out OF bed and rushed down stairs in
his night clothes. As soon he reached the
bottom OF the stairs he was commanded at the
point oil a revolver to throw up his hands He
obeyed the command and the robbers continued
their search for plumber. They found nothing
but few dollars in silver MF. Stetson had in his
trousers picket, which they took and departed.
The same night boarding house not far from
Mr.. Stetson's was entered and pair Of panta-
looms belonging to a roomer named Clark were
taken out on the sidewalk and relieved Of their
contents, which consisted of nothing more val
liable than few dollars in change. Nothing
was known OF the house having been entered
until next morning, when the trousers were
found ON the sidewalk.
panel in the door of Buriicks cigar store,
in the same vicinity, was partially removed the
same night, but the robbers were evidently
frightened away before finishing the job. II is
apparent that all three deeds we're committed
by the same persons, but there is not the slight
est clue to who they are.

THE UNCLAIMED LETTERS.
Smallest List Yet Sent to the Dead
Letter ONCE.

The weeks bundle of unclaimed letters Just
sent to the dead letter Office from here contained
81 enclosures, while the bundle for the CORE
spending week last year contained 1,133. Some
time ago the postmaster general sent circular
to ali the Offices in the United States asking
that efforts he made to cut down the dead letter
list The Seattle directory clerk has devoted q
good deal of attention 70 the matter with the
result stated. For several weeks the number of
dead letters has been less than 50 but 81 is the
lowest point yet reached The fact that the city
directories are more complete than ever, that
more people are living in settled homes and
that the unclaimed list is advertised each week
has lessened the difficulties OF finding persons
TO whom mail is addressed.

ciallsts Hold n Convention.
ScoTTDALE, Pa, April 27.-The so
cialist strikers did not hold their mass
meeting here yesterday, as intended.
but held delegate convention instead,
which was attended by 100 ardent sup
porters.
The socialist leader, Jonas, delivered
the initial address, In which he ridiculed
the capitalists, extolled the working
men and strikers, and said that an era
Of revolution was surely coming in
which the opposition would be annihi-
lated.
He said that he was persistent in his
desire for the emancipation of white
slavery. He expressed himself in forci-
BILE language that the time was at hand
when they would throw off this yoke Of
slavery. He appealed to his hearers to
join In this movement and added that
the appalling impoverished condition Of
the workmen could be wiped out only
by concerted action against the opposing
forces. In speaking of the coming rev.
olution he said; "Bloodshed is not nee
sssary, but should the Pinkertons Of
the bosses attack you on the streets
with guns, you know what 10 do"
