news NOTES FROM WALES.
Special to th. Scranton Tribune.


LONDON, Sept 26.-Tne news of the
musical war Of Scranton has reached
little Wales. and judging from the
personalities the issue has been lost
sight Of The fight in the columns OF
The TRIBUNE has gradually settled
into an attack aud defense Of Welsh
national music.
a brief sketch Of Welsh music at
home may not DO smiss. Wales has
always been musical, and with Italy
ranks first In the musical world For
this much Is due to Curwsn's tonic
solfa system, or the new notation, as it
10 sometimes called. Practically all
the Sunday schools in Wales possesl
the modulator which hangs in the
school room, and almost every Sunday
school rejoiees In one or more gradu-
ates holding certificates of proficiency
from Mr.. Curwen and as soon
as children are able to speak
they are regularly sent to the
Sunday school 80 that one Of tho frat
things which many children recollect
is the scale Of the solar system. The
writer knows several boys Of from
eight to ten years of age, able to read
at sight minor tunes Notwithstanding
frequent accidental notes. Hence In 9
choir the majority. without exception
are able to read music and soon grasp
the difficult details of An anthem which
otherwise would be taught BY ear.
So much for the early facilities for
musical training. the result can be
seen In every village in Wales and in
every chapel or church can the doh,
ray, me" Of young voices be heard.
A few words with regard to the dis
advantages under which the Welsh
labor. We often hear the remark thai
IL the Welsh are so musical, how is i,
that they have not produced O
Mozart, Handel or Haydn. The an
swsr is easy, unfortunately the cause
is blind patriotism. Men like Dr.
Parry. Owain Alaw, Ambrose Lloyd
David Jenkins and others through cen.
turiss have composed for the Welst
expressly and no one else, and on the
other hand the Welsh have been salts
fed with the work Of their own COM
posers. so that the style and character
istics OF the one have been imbusd BY
the others. It 10 tho old cry Of Walel
for the Welsh. Had there been NOR,
enterprise or had DR.. joseph
Parry lived in Germany his nam,
instead of being known all ovel
the world to the Cymru would hav,
been known to all musical nations
Welsh words set to music cannot b,
translated without losing the origlna
charm, and the same may be said to 6
less extent Of the vice versa process
such ps Sir Joseph Barnby's Anthem
20 Lcrd How Manifold Are Tn,
w orks," which sounds very differen
in Welsh as compared with tn
Epg lish rendition.
Peolle who are not cognizln
with the D p,culiarities Of Welsh musi
clans und their disadvantages should
be slow to charge them with ignor
ance OF music until they have inquire,
as to whether the Welsh are not mas
tsrs OF the music they are accustomed
to. II they did this, they would hav,
reason to change their opinions.

A remarkable elimination in the
number of convicts sent to penal servi-
tude is shown in last years records Of
the prisons report. In 1859 the popu-
lation was Is, 900, and the number
of prisoners sentenced to penal servi-
tude was 1859. Last year the inhabi-
tants had increased by 100000 and
the penal servitude prisoners numbered
only 1888. Civilization cannot after all

foolish, or she would have known that
no woman nowadays considers tn, ODE

thing more than an idle and imperative
