I'll GREAT REPUBLIC.
Prof. Hager's Allcgory at the Acad-
m of MEsfc.

Prof. Hagerss Allcgory at the Acad-
emy of Music.
Prof. Hager's Allegory of 'The Great
Republic was presented last evening at the
Academy of Music by the school children of
the city. 1t was, as usual, a splendid sue
cess. Some of the new features introduced
were the drill by the High School Cadets,
under Lieutenant Brockhurst, the calisthenics
by the pupils of No. 3 school under the COM
mand Of Captain B~rensinger n the colored
brigade, which. under the able direction of
Messrs. Frank Eoule and Robert Alberts, was
equal to a minstrel troope of the first order.
Miss Lillian Monnihan was al ideal God
dess of Liberty, combining beauty of face
and figure with a remarkable evolutionary
ability. 1t is safe to say that no former god
dess has surpassed her.
Miss Kate Bradley. the principal ~soloist,
sang 'sThe Flag OF the Free inspiringly.
Miss Hattie Foster, Miss Mamie Currie,
Messrs. Rennick Speers, Will Dalton and
Edward Hermann rendered the other solos
remarkably well.
In the Indian representations Mr. Robert
Alberts, as soothsayer, Miss Annie Rafter
as the princess and Mr.. Frank Soule as
Columbus, acted their parts with spirit The
tableaux representing scenes from American
history were very realistic, especially that
of the capture of Major Andre.
The other characters shown in the Allegory
were all well interpreted, South Carolina
and Virginia being the best among the
States. 1.-THE Great Republic is we'll worth
seeing, not only for the pleasure it gives the
eye, but for the historical information it
conveys. The performance will be repeated
tonight and tomorrow night.

MOTHERS CLUB ENTERTAINED.

Miss Brook c,s Interesting Talk on
Kindergarten Work.
Tao Mothers Club was pleasantly enter
tanned yesterday afternoon at tho Whittier
House by a delightful informal talk from
Angelina Brooke, tho head oil the kindergar-
ten department of the Teachers College in
New York City.
Mrs. George B. Eaton, the President of
the club, who has just returned from Baltl-
more. was present, and introduced the
Speaker in a few well chosen words.
Miss Brooke, a pleasant faced lady with a
winning voice, knew Just how to adapt her
self to her audience, and her talk was most
edioyable to the s'mothers'' and their guests.
She began by telling them of Frederick
Froebel, the inventor OF the kindergarten
system, who perceiying that his. pupils did
not easily learn what he wished TO teach
them, arrived at the conclusion thai they
were not taught properly in carly child
hood. To remedy this defect he established
the kindergarten school, which takes chill
dren under five years and trains them while
keeping them happily employed. Miss
Brooke. in her kindly way, told now neces-
sary it was that children should be sur
rounded by the p~leasantest influences, show
ing the mothers how readily children inni-
tated those around them, both the bad and
the good. sFfoebel,n she said, Thought
that children should be taught to love the
pure and the good, for then their studies
would take care of themselves
The afternoons talk concluded with an IL
lustration of the kindergarten play songs
by Miss Brooke, Miss Hayes, the kindergas-
ten teacher at the Whittier Home, and three
OF Miss Brooke's assistants. It was very
pretty to see them acting the songs OF the
tailor, the carpenter, the squirrel, the hon,
and tho moon. The audience enjoyed the il
lustration and ~applauded heartily. Mrs.
Eaton thanked Miss Brooke for her kind
ness, and Miss Bradford added her word of
annracfation.

FLAGS OF ALL NATIONS.
Let Them Float Beneath the
Stars and Stripes, Says
Governor Flower.

ALBANY, N. r., May "a, 1894. Governor
Flower has VETOED Assemblyman Law
sons bill to prevent the display of for
eign flags or emblems on public buildings.
In his veto memorandum the Governor
says
at is a questionable sort of patriotism
which seeks the enactment of such bills as
this. II tho measure were approved it
would be unlawful hereafter to display the
flag or emblem of any foreign country upon
any State, county or municipal building ex-
cept p the occasion of a for
eigner becoming the guest OF the
United States, the State, or of any city.
Governor or Of the Mayor of such city.
America is big and broad and free in its
political tolerance as well as in its territory,
and such proposed legislation as this makes
it seem small and narrow and clannish. Our
population is made up of men of all nationall-
ties. Tho blood of every foreign nation
mingles here with that OF the A~nglo-Saxon
race. It is this commingling of races that
makes our American blood and our nation
strong and robust
NO LESS AN AMERICAN.
aDoes it make the American of foreign
blood or descent any less an American to
see the flag of his fatherland floating be-
Q6dJn the GUaIS dtlQ OLIlptS III OuI PuDliC
buildingsa On the contrary, it seems to me
that, while recalling the associations of his
native land, such a sight would re-
mind him also of the reasons which induced
him to leave that land, and would stir
within him new devotion to the Republic
which has given him equal rights and equal
opportunities. If eny American patriotism
is of such weak stamina that 1t can be al
lured by the display of foreign bunting.
legislation like this cannot save it from
speedy and utter ruin.
81 prefer to think that love for our coun-
try is of a deeper and stronger characters
love that is generous and tolerant, but is of
unquestioned loyalty in times of real dan
ger. The truest patriotism Is that which IS
broad enough to Ignore race and creed and
consider only the good of the common coun-
try. Such legislation as that proposed by
this bill finds It's inspiration only in intoler-
ance-in religious or radical preJndice-in
the false patriotism of narrow minds.
UN-AMERICAN IN SPIRIT.
at is un-American in spsr.t and is opposed
to the liberal traditions and progressive aims
of the American people. 1t is based on a
sickly sentimentality and should find NJ sup
port among broad mindedSand soundb bodied
Americans. Let Us not restrict the display
of bunting; on gala days let US hoist the flags
OF all nations; but above all others let the
Stars and Stripes float triumphant, and thus
in our display of colors n emblems we
shall best symbolic the varied yet homo
ge neous character of our population.

against the swlndling Mutual Land and
Building Syndicate, Two victims cropped
up this morning complaining that. deluded
they paid money to Treasurer, Secretary and
General Manager Roper. or course the
promises were never redeemed and Mr..
Roper knew nothing about the money or the
representations made, not he. There never
was such a surprised man when he said that
the agents. statements were news to him.
They were unwarrantable. All the same,
though, Mr.. Roper held on to the money,
