EZEKIEL GILMAN ROBINSON.

Sketch of the Venerable ST.
DENT of Brow University.
Boston, June IA, 1894.-Ezekiel Gilman
Robinson, the venerable ex-Preside mt of
Brown University, WHO died in Reading,
Mass, yesterday, was born in Attleboro,
Mass, March %, 1915. He was graduated
from Brown University in 1883 and from
Newton Theological Seminary in 1872.
From 1912 to 1S45 he was pastor Of the
Baptist Church in Norfolk, Va, during
which period he served for one year, by per-
mission of his church, as chaplain at the
University of Virginia. After a short pas
torate in Cambridge, he became, in 1916,
professor Of biblical Interpretation in
Western Theological Seminary in Coving-
ton, KY.
In 1850 he was chosen pastor of Ninth
Street Baptist Church, Cincinnati, Ohio. In
1853 he was elected professor of theology in
Rochester Theological Seminary and in 1860
was made its President. In 1872 he resigned
to become President of Brown University.
He was q trustee of Vassar College from its
foundation, and received honorary degrees
of d. D. and III. D. from Brown in 1858 and

Der of books and review articles.

RUIN BY EXCESSIVE TAXATION

The evidence proving that taxation may
easily pass the limits of endurance is over
whelming. Within an hours ride from New
York several towns cal be reached that
were bankrupted by undertaking "public
works upon a magnificent SCALE" The num-
Der of Western communities that nave been
ruined from the same cause is countless. A
very great number of people in the Eastern
States, both poor and of the middle class,
nave been impoverished by the sudden check
to the prosperity OF these communities. Nor
is any severer tax imposed upon any class
than that which is paid by those who nave
only their wages to live upon, when they are
deprived of these by the collaps of municipal
credit and the consequent sudden stop to ex-
~travagant expenditure. The average cost of
the pensions paid by the United States is $40
to Sl2 a year to every family in the country,
and the total burden Of taxation is probably
$50 to $40. In many cases the pension charge
alone is equal to half a months or even to a
months wages. Not q few Of the govern
ments of the earth are now insolvent because
of excessive expenditures upon public works.
In South America and Australia, extravag-
ant undertakings of this kind have caused
widespread ruin and distress. They have
had much to do with bringing their present
misery upon the people of Italy, and the poor
of several other nat. ons are likely to find out,
eventually, that the alienation of temporary
distress by governmental expenditure of
capital is like keeping off the cold by burn
ing down the house.-Muy Forum.

PHILADELPHIA, June IA, 1S94.-Terrence
V. Powderly, ex-General Master Workman
Of the Knights of Labor, and A. W. Wright,
ex-member of the General Executive Board,
have issued and distributed among the mem
bers of the order a pamphlet answering and
denying in detail the charges brought against
them by the present. executive officers OF the
knights. Powderly's pamphlet contains
thirty-four pages and IS dated Scranton
May 81, 1894"
reference to the official report of the pro
ceedings Of the last session of the General
Assembly in this city, as issued by General
SecretarY-Treasurer John w. Hayes. The
statement then goes on and takes up the
charges against Powderly, Wright and Dew
lin of using the funds of the order for their
own benefit and positions to advance their
own interests to the disadvantage of the
Knights.
Powderly takes. up each of the charges
separately and gives his version of the
transactions of which he is accused. In con-
cIusion he says:-''The fear that at New Or
leans the Past General Master Workman
might be present is the real cause of my
suspension, and it IS as well that the Whole
order should know it.
1T is a conviction with me that the inten-
ton is to disrupt the order, disgust its mem
bership, drive true men and women out of
it. and then its valuable property will fail to
those who remain. There can be no ether
reason assigned for such a suicidal policy as
we are now witnessing"
The official report OF Mr.. Wright as dele
gate to the last General Assembly. a to
D.A. 125, which he represented, Il which
was printed by order of the district assem-
bly, for the information of its members, to a
large extent covers the same ground gone
over by Mr.. Powderly in his statement. AS
a matter of course, MIR. Wright pays more
extended attention to the individual charges
made against him by Mr.. Hayes.

WRECK ON THE LEHIGH.

EAsToN, Pa, June IA, 1s94.-At half-past
two o'clock this morning q fast freight train
on the Lehigh Valley Railroad going West
struck the rear end of an empty coal train
standing on the bridge crossing the Della
ware River at Easton, crushing the caboose
and two cars like eggshells and threw them
over the side tower in the Central Railroad
of New Jersey bridge, which stand close by,
and down into tho river a distance OF eighty
feet. In their descent the cars tore away all
the wires of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey and Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, which were fastened TO the piers. The
bridge signals gave the freight train the
right of way, but the engineer discovered the
error when he saw the red lights on the
caboose. He reversed his engine and tried
to avoid the collision, but was too late. No
one was hurt.

Our Efforts to Beautify Them Not

The practice of clipping ~long-haired dogs
in hot weather is not altogether agreeable to
their owners. 1t is supposed by many to be
a necessity, for dogs whose hair is so thick
that it is practically g fur coat are apt to be
come so orerheated that the skin grows ten

mango, IN exceedingly difficult disease to
cure in old dogs--those we love the Sest.

remember the remarkable Irish ~septefs, lit

beach parlors and sheltered hooks along tie
boardwalk, and are pets with all the yisi-
tors. These animals never suffer from the
troubles common to long, haired dogs kept in
the city, an inquiry at other seaside resorts
has resulted in a confirmation of the opinion
concerning the efficacy OF salt baths.
But apart from the expense, it is often in
convenient, if not impossible. to send a dog
to the seaside. The owner Of a Scotch collie
tried the experiment last year of giving her
dog salt baths at home. She began early in
june and continued almost every day until
the middle of September, and with the ex-
tremely gratifying result of saving the ami

strongly at first, but soon enjoyed the

on a hot afternoon. The method used was
to put the dog into a tub of water nearly
cold, in which a handful of rocksalt had
been dissolved. rub him thoroughly, and
then throw buckets of salt water over him
as he jumped out.
A pr~ecaution frequently disregarded by
those who make pets of dogs without under
standing much about them is being careful
about their meat. 1t Should be as fresh and
free from faint as would be served at your

The meat should be trimmed carefully so
that no dark bloody portion will faint it.

RAN OFF WITH HIS FIRMS MONEY
And I'm. His Flight Took a Pretty
School Teacher.

r SCEhOOA CaChACA
New YORK, June IA, 1S94.-Benjamin G.
Peters, assistant treasurer of the New Cen
trail Coal Company, of Maryland, whose
principal offices are at No. l Broadway. has
decamped with nearly $4,000 Of the COM
pany's money. This is not the only crime he
is guilty of. In addition to robb1ng his en-
ployers, Peters deserted his wife and
children and eloped with a pretty young
school teacher. The present whereabouts OF
the couple is unknown.
Over in the pretty village of Hampstead,
Long Island, there are two unhappy
families, made so by the scandal which
shocked Hampstead society when 1t became
known that Peters, who was one of the best
known young men in the place, had eloped
with Miss Mary Hart Wilson, the belle of
the village. Tn elopement caused a sensa-
ton, as the two families are well known and
respected. The announcement now that
Peters is a defaulter and a criminal, which
discovery was made only a few days ago,
will cause still greater surprise. He de-
camped on the 10th of May, and Miss Wilson
left home on the same day.
The police are looking for the couple and
they nave a warrant for Peters arrest. TIT
story of the defalcation and elopement
leaked out vt Police Headquarters today.
Peters had been employed by the New
Central Coal Company for some time and
his employers had every confidence In hlm.
Not long ago he rose to the position OF As
sistant Treasurer and he was regarded as
honest and trustworthy.
The last time he was seen at the office was
IN May 10, the day he eloped with the school
teacher. He went about his business In the
usual way and gave no indication that he
was about to desert his wife and child and
elope with the pretty school teacher.
His failure to appear at the office subse-
auently caused some comment and excited
much surprise until the elopement became
known. Even then Peters was not suspected
of having committed any dishonest acts in
connection with the New Central Coal Com
pany's affairs. 1t was not until q few days
ago that the discovery was made that the
assistant treasurer was a defaulter and

TIE ART OF MUSIC.
ITS Progress Traced From the Tenth
Century.

In the tenth century, both lines were first
used together, and the notes began to be
designated by letters of the alphabet, as
they are now. This was the origin OF the
present staff of five lines and -four spaces.
In the latter part of the same century
Guido of Arezzo added more lines to the
staff, and resorted to the use of the spaces.
1t was Guido who originated solmigation by
means of the syllables ut, re. mi, ia, sol, td.
The syllable at was replaced by that OF do
at a later date.
Step by step music advanced. and the sys-
tenn of notation, while becoming more COM
pick, became more Ineligible. Symbols for
notes of various length were invented, and
finally counterpoint developed to what it is
at the present day.
But this was only the development Of
the elements of music, and not of the art it
self. Then with the death of the last Roman
emperor came the renaissance. which so
keenly affected both the arts and sciences.
Yet music was the last to be touched by it.
Then came Luther's Reformation, and with
it the introduction, OF rather adoption, of
secular melodies into religious services and
congregational singing.
The Council of Trent bitterly opposed the
innovation, and the prelates of the church
appointed Giovanni Pierlugi Sante, of Pal
~estrina, to devise an appropriate form for &C.
clesiastical music. Giovanni, who after
wards became Known by the name of his
birthplace, Palestrina, will always stand
as The pillar of ecclesiastical music as it
now is.
The first Lutheran hymn book was pub
lished in 1921, and the first Palestrina mass
sung in 1855.
But. music had now found a firm place in
the hearts of the people. Poems were set to
music, and in 1900 the first o~ratorio was
sung, while twentv-seven years later Schultz
introduced the first opera into Germany,
and after a lapse of ten years the first opera
house known to the civilized world was
opened in Venice with a performance of
Manelli's "Andromeda. n
Music was now making rapid advances,
but it was not until 1856 that two of the
worlds great composers we're born-John
Sebastian Bach and Handel.
Here we must pause, for a new era
dawned upon the art.
