Rather Risky Repetition.

Like most pieces of its kind "The Tar and
Tartar is apt to grow stale in a very little
while. There is nothing substantial in it,
and it WAS practically played out by the
time DiEby Bell and his company had done
it twice here. The company which has been
playing it at tie DuQuesne Theater during
the week has in Mr.. Pruette and Miss Annie
Myers better people than the originals in
their several roes. but ii would be lo.iy to
contend that Mr. Frear with his imitation
OF an eXcruciatingly exact sort of Digby
Bell is the later's equal as comedian. The
chorus is hardly equal even to the moderate
demands OF Itzel's music. Miss Myrella
pleased everybody, and Madame Cottrelly
put some originality into her work. But
the piece has outrun its popularity appar-
emily.
BY the by, Mr. Frear. or the managers of
THE Tar and Tartar" should cut this out
and paste it away Ter future reference: 1t
is not good taste or good sense ro rub it in 20
one political party exclusively in comic
opera gags or jests. Frear's reflections on
President Harrison were painfully out of
order, and it is not surprising that the audi
enoe hissed loudly when they were repeated
on FRIDAY night. As matter OF fact. pol
itics, except in the shape OF good-natured
Eioes at party policies, is entirely out OF
place in comic opera.

THE GERMAN REVISED BIBLE


Work That Has Been in Progress for
Nearly Thirty Years.
The long-expected revised edition"
of the Bible has at last been published
by Canstein's Bible Press, in Halle. The
history of the revision reaches so far
back as 1855, when Pastor Monckeberg,
of Hamburg, called upon the Bible So
cieties to unite in preparing a uniform
text. At the suggestion of the German
church congress of 1857 Cansteins Bible
Press undertook to carry out the idea.
At its instance Pastor Monckeberg, DR..
Frommann, of Nuremberg, and Prof
Rudolf Won Raumer, of Erlangen,
laid down the principles to be OBJ.
served in the work. In 1868 the
German Protestant church conference,
meeting every two years at Else
mach, and composed Of representatives
of the German church governments,
took up the matter at the instance OF
the supreme Protestant church council
in Berlin, and in its turn determined
the guiding principles on which the
work of revision was to be done.
| 1t was deemed essential to refrain
from any but absolutely necessary
changes, and to make every alteration
so that the words chosen should be in
harmony with the diction of Luther's
Bible, for it is the strength and beauty
of the language that give to his transla-
ton its inestimable value. The New
| Testament was revised first, Nitzsch
and Tweston of Berlin, Beyschlag and
Riehm of Halle, Ahlfeld and Brinkner
of Leipsic, Meyer and Niemann of
Hanover, and Froumiller and Schroe-
der of Wurtemburg taking part
in the work. The results of
their labors were embodied in proof
edition in 1867. In 1870 this revised
edition of the New Testament was
ready for delivery to the Bible socie-
ties and church communities, and has
since gone through fifty-nine editions,
making a total of one hundred and
eighteen thousand copies. The Old
Testament was then taken in hand.
The committee sat eighteen times,
eleven days each times; and the results
of its labors were embodied in the so.

There has long been suspicion that
the leading umbrella manufacturers
have tempered with the weather bureau
and have paid some of the signal service
employees handsome salary to predict
rain. The large number of predictions
of wet and showcry weather which
have never been verified lends color to
the belief that many of the meteorolog-
zeal Swans of the government are in
the pay of the umbrella manufacturers.

ton Of northeasterly winds, with
heavy rains gives sudden boom

The annual consumption of umbrellas
in the United States is estimated at five
million. The artificial stimulus OF
purely imaginative weather predictions
increases this number greatly.

article in the world. 1t is found in

an umbrella when he walks abroad in
