SantIeY and Cyril TYLER.

Cyril Tyler. the boy soprano, is singing
at Proctor's Theater, New York. When
he comes on the stage lie wears q choir
boys surplice, he seats himself in
high-backed chair, and with half
closed eyes listens to his pianist, who,
seated near him, plays the first few
bars of the Ave Maria" Presently
an organ behind the scenes swells the har-
mony of sound, and the boy stands up
suddenly, and, as if inspired by the music
he hears, he begins to sing the Ave
Maria" His voice is wonderfully sweet,
but not quite equal to the strain imposed
upon it by the technical difficulties of the
song. He is heard to much better advau-
tage in the simple ballads selected for
the encores he never fails to receive.
A strong contrast, says the Sun, to this lad.
who stands at the threshold of his career.
was the other singer, who came here a
gray-haired old man with years of we'll
earned fame behind him. He came for
ward as tmidly as debutgnte.
and smiled half sadly at the applause
which greeted him, well 'skno wing it was
but the homage accorded to veteran
by people who felt that he must be too
old to be worth hearing for his voices
sake. The greater part of the audience
had gathered to do him honor. and not be-
cause they expected him 10 stir their
hearts as in days of old. Then he sang.
When he began the same song little Tyler
so often chooses his hands trembled nerv-
ously and those who sat near the stage saw
that bis eyes were filed with tears. At
first his voice was husky, but gradually it
grew stronger and clearer, i'll, as the last
sweet notes died away, the audience EN-
masse arose and cheered for Santlay, one
of the best of ballad singers, who had
proven that his laureS were ever green.

IngersoIi Taken to Task.

Mr. JOnn w. Norton oil 81. Louis has

for saying in a recent interview that
there has been no great play written since
Shakespeare died" Where" Mr.. Nor

Sheridan and a number of others?
l do not wish to enter into
discussion with Colonel Ingersoll. but if
seems to me that he has spoken without
considering the facts. The trouble is no t
with the plays. 1t is with the actors and
the public taste. The actors are of the
pan talo0n furniture class, and the public
taste is far below what it sed to be.
There is now no school for the tragedan.
and no patronage TO invite the play-writer

the fingers of your two hands. The public
taste is for costumes, suggestive situations,
farce and spectacular.

Death of James F. Murdocb

The telegraph informs US that the WELL
known tragedian and teacher of elocution,
James E. Murdoch, died in Cincinnati on
the 18th inst, after many years of honora-
BILE professional life. His career is
stamped lneffaceably on the annals of the
American stage. Murdoch was born in
Philadelphia in 1911. This date would
make him 80 years old at the time of his
death. instead of 63. as the dispatch states
his paren tage was highly respectable
He early gave his attention to books and
dramatic elocuton. and. overcoming the
objection OF his friends, came out at the
Arch-street Theater in the ia II of 1929 as
Frederick of Lovers Vows" He
next appeared as Norval, Octavian, and
SeliD in "Barbarossa" with continued ap-
probation. On the 4th OF June, 1888, he made
his first appearances at the old Park, New
York, as Claude Melnotte, being engaged
to support Miss Ellen Free in q line of
favoriIe characters About 1912 he with
drew from the stage for the purpose of
study, and at the same time gave lessons
in elocution to students and practitioners
of law and divinity, and in tho theological
colleges of Maine and Massachusetts. He
also lectured on Shakespeare. Murdoch
returned to the stage in the character OF
Hamlet at the Park 'fheater, New York,
october 20, 1S45. Subsequently he travelled
all over America, from Canada to Califor-
mia. He was in this city from 1853 to 1856,
and supported Mrs. Catherine Sinclair,
the divorced wife of Edwin Forrest,
in series of first-class plays. He
afterward went to England. Possessing
fine, manly countenance and of the me-
dunn build. both in height and form, with
attitudes and gestures graceful and plant,
Mr.. Murdoch was admirably adapted for
the performance Of both tragedy and
comedy. Mr.. Wemyss considered him the
Cornelius Mathews says that his STYLE of
acting hit the middle line below the severe
and terrible requirements of tragedy and

WON'T RE REPoRTEn.

The johnson Bond Currency Bill OPP
posed by the Administration.
WASHINGTON, D. o., Sept. 1.-The
house committee on banking and cur.
rency to-day discussed the Johnson
bond-currency interconvertible bill, but
adjourned until next Tuesday without
arriving at determination thereon.
In the progress-of the discussion it
that several members Of the
committee had been in conference with.
Secretary Carlisle and the inference
from the tenor Of the statements made
by these gentlemenwas that the aecre.
tary did not approve the johnson bill
in the form in which il was introduced.
unless some form Of currency can be
devised which shall be used for ex.
change for bonds as proposed, and not
for the purpose OF attacking the gold
reserves of the treasury. The proba-
bilities are that the bill will not be re.
ported from the committee.
The official comparative statement OF
the receipts and expenditures OF tho
United States, issued in detail from the
treasury department to-day shows that
the receipts for August were 81, 900, 900
less than for July while the expendi.
lures were Sc, 100000 less. The expen.
ditutes for the two months Of the pres.
ent fiscal year exceeded the receipts
S17, 100000. This excess had to be
drawn from the treasury available cash
which was reduced Of course just that

the multitude had increased In size, so
that the space from Downing street to
the palace yard was packed.
When the announcement that the
house had passed the home rule bill by
vote Of 90l TO 267 was received the
crowd went wild. They cheered, sung,
shouted, embraced one another,
smashed hats and did other absurd
things to show their appreciation OF
the houses action.
The police were alarmed at the antics
Of the people and a Gordon of blue coats
was forthwith drawn up before mem-
bers' exit. The frst member left tho
palace yard shortly after one o'clock.
Mr.. Gladstone's carriage, containing
the prime minister and his wife,
emerged from the gates at ten minutes
after one. A number OF mounted
police surrounded the carriage,

who was in the carriage, became

corrects Some False Impressions circu-
lated by French Journals.
NEW YoRK, Sept 1.-The Rome cor
respondent Of the Caholic Neps sends
the following translation of aletter sent
by Archbishop Ireland. OF St. Paul,
Minnesota, to the Uniusrs, of Paris, and
reprinted in the 4oniteuF De Rome.
"Permit me to appeal to the impair.
tiality OF the Unipes for correction OF
certain recent information relative to
myself. which is OF nature calculated
to deceive and sadden many friends
who honor me with their esteem and
good will. Certain French journals
have lately given utterances to the
strangest assertions. 1t is said that the
pontifical letter OF recent date; adj
dressed to Cardinal Gibbons, and
by his intermediary, to the bishops of
the United States. is the condemnation
OF all my views on the scholastic ques-
ton; that the favor accorded me in
Rome last year is not Withdrawn; that
o 'monitum' has been addressed to me
personally enioining me TO abandon my
previous position, and to restrict to the
two cases of Fairibault and Of fstillwater
the decision. Of the stolerari potest,'
which the propaganda rendered last
year in my favor.
.'No 'monitum' has been addressed to
me, and no sign has been given which
would indicate that the good will Of the
holy see has been withdrawn from me.
= "The above mentioned letter to the
American bishops does not condemn
my position, and is not understood in
that sense by the American public and
by the delegate apostolic in the United
States, Mgr, Satolli.
"ImarVel that our scholastic situation
could have been misunderstood in
Europe. It was never the intention OF
any American bishop, it was never
mine, to abolish or to set aside the leg.

education"
The fourteen propositions Of Mgr.
satolli, presented last autumn to
the archbishops assembled in
conference in New York, took
precisely tile same point Of view, and
Justified Hcholastic situation which ex-
lists in the majority OF our dioceses, and
which is apparently outside the iegis-
lation of Baltimore without being con-
Trajectory to 1t. Mgr. satolli himself
was misunderstood they declared that
he wished to overthrow the system OF
such as had been established
by the council.
"The misfortune is that there are peo-
pie who do not perceive that the de-
crees Of the council Of Baltimore, the
.tolerari potest' and the propositions Of
Mgr satolli agree perfectly"
