Foreign Critics Pronounce Our Orchcstras

The fine arts were not sought after in
the early history of our land. Men oc-
cupied with extensive problems in gov
eminent had neither time nor oppor-
tunity to give to that most divine of all
human cndeavors, Music, sweet hcav-

and other operate stars made u brief
success here, but the general record of
musical projects was one of spirited en-
terpri,cs and discouraging failures.
Still, this could not but be temporary.
The struggle with the Wilderness and
George I'LL, with experiments In popu-
lar sway and democratic constitutions,
gave way TO quietcr scenes, and unrc-
hitting toll demanded relaxation.
To-day there are thou sands of our
best buildings distributed all over the
states for the purpose of concerts, the
opera, colleges of music, etc. These are
in many instances managed by men
who spare neither pains nor expense to

IT is authoritatively announced that
visitors to the worlds fair will be fur
nished with drinking water free of
charge. The announcement is timely
in view of the reports which have been
circulated to tho effect that the only
water on the exposition grounds avail
able for drinking purposes would be
that supplied by mineral springs
company at fixed price per glass. 1t
turns out fortunately that the monopoly
for supplying drinking water at the
fair, granted to private company,
applies only to natural spring mineral
water unchanged" This exclusive
privilege does not shut out the city
water. Had it done so the fair would
have been discredited and the manage
ment involved in a most disgracefuI
scandal. 1t is said that drinking places
will be established through the grounds
for furnishing city water, which will be
sterilized or filtered so as to make it
absolutely harmless and wholesome.

WASHINGTON NEWS is VERY GOOD

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 21.-[Special. /
Mr. Vernon s. Brown and Mr. Gustav H
Schwab, along with a number of other
steamship representatives, were before
Joint committee or immigration to-day
to protest against the proposition to sus-
pend immigration for one year. Mr..
Schwab is the widely know general agent
of the North German Lloyd Steamship
company, and is regarded as an expert
authority upon the subject of immigra-
tion traffic. To The Bee correspondent
Mr.. Schwab said tonight in speaking of
the position taken by members of the
immigration committee that the purpose

from Europe has been adopted ny the

this idea. The Continental lines have
taken this action simply as a bushes:
necessity and question of profit or loss
The government restriction now enforced
on immigration, reducing the number OF
steerage passengers that can be brought
here, renders it unremunerative for The
steamship companies TO carry steerag'
passengers from Europe. They there
fore prefer TO devote the space to freight
and as the applications for second cabii
passage will be materially increased by
the stoppage of steerage traffic, they viii
naturally increase cabin rates and ar

LATER details concerning the re-
cent death of Caroline Beethoven,
the last who bore the great compos-
er's name, confirm the conjecture that
she was the widow of his nephew, Karl,
who caused him so much trouble
while he was living. After his wife
had borne him three daughters the
graceless scoundrel deserted her, leav-
ing her in straitened circumstances.
OF late years she had been supported
by her daughters, who are married,
and by two musicians, who paid her
money yearly on the anniversary of
the composers death. AS it is re-
ported that Karl Beethoven, when he
ran away, came to this country, it
would be worth the effort for some
antiquarian to trace him out and
find where he went and what he was
doing here.

THoUGH Mid-Armagh, where the
Tory candidate for Parliament, Mr..
Barton, was allowed to have a'walk-
over, is undoubtedly Tory by good
majority, the Home-Rulers would
have measured their strength there
but for the unfortunate division in
their ranks. The seat was carried by
the Tories in 1885 by $500 majority.
At a subsequent election the Home
Rulers put forward their leader in
Ulster, Mr.. Thomas Dickson, and he
cut down the majority to- 1900,
running against most popular Tory
of liberal ideas. We're the Home

to still further reduce the Tory ma

A CRANK is liable to be generally
rational though he may be weak
minded on hobby. AS a rule he
fully appreciates the results of vio-
lence. Men of this character should
be severely punished for acts of vio-
lence. Fear of severe punishment is
a great element in the prevention Of
crime, especially with men of hobbies.
1t is the man whose sanity is totally
wrecked who knows no fear, simply
because he cannot appreciate the re-
suits of crime or of violence. The
only practical preventive against
cranks is to punish these who resort
to violence with the full extent of the
law that fits the crime for the in.
fluence it has on the brotherhood of
cranks, and to conflne insane people
in asylums as long as there is the
slightest possibility of their dom,
any injury to society.
