manhood, 1t does not say that they
must do violence to all the instincts
of their nature. 1t does not say that
they must not be social for fear of bad
companonship, that they must not
have recreation outside of business
hours for fear of dissipation, that they
must not stretch their weary or grow

young men are social, ought to have
companionship, need recreation and
pleasure, must exercise their bodies if

THE HOLY CITY.
Produced in an Excellent Manner in the
Providence PRESBYTERIAN Church.


The oratorio concert at the Provi-
dence Presbyterian church last even
ing was a treat rarely enjoyed. The
church was filed to its utmost capacity,
which proved that the people of the
North End can enjoy a treat in the
higher forms of sacred music. Gaul's
Holy City" was written expressly for
a recent Birmingham Trienial festival,
and is a work OF high order.
The chorus, under the direction OF Y.
j, Davis, Mus. Bac, showed careful
training. The graduatons of power,
light and shade was well nigh perfec-
ton, the balance of parts even and
the voices pure and rich. The ensemble
seemed TO move as an unit. Professor
Davies was most fortunate in his selec-
ton of the solo artists. Mrs. Louise
Gerring- g-Frendenberger of Wilkes
Barre. possesses a large, rich voice Of
wide range and sings with much arts-
tic finish Instead of the intermeZzo,
instrumental, Dudley Bucks Fear Ye,
Oh Israeli was given. Here Mrs.
Frendenberger scored a grand success.
Miss Louise Parry, who is endowed
with a rich contralto voice and sings
with ease and intense feeling, cap
tiVated all with her exquisite rendi-
tion of Eye Hath Not Seen" Tom
Beynon was in his usual good voice and
did most excellently with each of his
three solos. T. H. Warren was never
heard in better voice than in the solo,
"A New Heaven. and a New Earth -
and the pianOmissimo chorale by the
choir made u most charming contrast
to his noble voice. This was one of the
most effective numbers of the pro-
gramme.
Mrs. Charles Metzgar, who is always
n favorite in the North End, sustained
her former efforts in the solo, Come,
Ye Blessed of My Father John 7.
Watkins gave a well declaimed rendi-
ton of the baritone solo, accompanied
with most charming female chorus,
in which Mrs. Arthur Long scared in
lofty notes in soprano obligato 1t is
hoped the Providence Presbyterian
choir will contir" in favoring the
music public with more complete work
Of the ordtorio form. This is the onlt
means to educate a musical loving
public.

Have you seen the Baldwins?

The second sensation was created by
George Walden, who propounded the
question, "Who took the stamps from
the Scranton postofiice?"
Tell George Walden" said Mrs.
Baldwin, that the stamps We're stolen
by a tall, light man; I'll not tell his
name The stamps We're taken Friday,

"Who Ia the postmaster" was asked.
"St-Stous," replied the woman. hesi-
tatingly. The crowd was wrought up
to the highest pitch at this and some
one shouted. "Osthaus, that Is the as
sistant! Who is the postmaster"
Misunderstanding" stumbled the
woman again.
"Where were they when the stamps
were taken?" questioned Professor
Baldwin.
"Fishing-at Maplewood,"
This was greeted with a burst Of ap-
plause The sleeper then went on to
state that the stamps were taken from
the safe by some one who knew the
combination. and also gave the value of
the stamps.
After responding to numerous other
Inquiries Mrs. Baldwin remarked: II

"a few rapid passes the lady was re-
stored to consciousness and half car

Scoring Lord Dunraven.

LONDON, Sep. 16.-The Westminster
Gazette in its comments on Lord Dun
ravens letters gives prominence to the
argument that Dunrayen well knew
the conditions before starting in the
race. "These conditions" it says,
"were the same for both the Defender
and the Valkyrie, and the chances Of
the boats were therefore equal. When
Lord Dunraven made up his mind that
further racing was impossible he should
have communicated the fact to the
committee. To go down to the start,
to pretend to get ready and make q
show of crossing the line and then re-
tire seems like the act of a school boy
in the sulks. Englishmen haven't q
monopoly of sportmansbip," adds the
Gazette, "and Lord Dunraven has Civ
en- our American cousins just cause to
jeer at him."

Defander and yaIkyrie.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-A special from
Newport, R. l., says that late last night
it was rumored there that it had been
arranged that the Defender and Val
kyrie should race over the Newport
course, and that Lord Dunraven had
telcgrsphed Captain Cranfeld to stop
the work of preparing the Valkyrie for
her homsward voyage. The cup COM
mittee of the New York Yacht Club
expect to go to New York to-day or
have the rest of the committee and Mr..
1selin meet them here. The Goelet
cup race course, where Dunraven is
willing to race. is just south of Rough
Point, where he is guest of Sfr. w. K.
Vanderbilt. 1t is said that Dunraven
will go half way if Iselin will meet him.
NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 16.-W. K.
Vanderbilt sailed westward this morn
in on his yacht Valiant. Before going
ne not only denied the purchase of the
Defender from the other members of
the syndicate, but also that he had any
such idea in mind. The report that the
Offender and Vslkyrie are to race of
here is not credited as having any
foundation by those best acquainted
with the feelings of Lord Dunraven and
ex-Commodore Morgan. 1t is said that
neither side would do anything further
until they heard from the New York
Club.
NEW YORK, Sept. lex. Commo-
dore James D. Smith, chairman of the
Americas cup committee, said to-day
he did not think there would be any
more races between the Defender and
the Valkyrie. Dunraven has said that
he will race no more. Mr.. Iselin has
also said that he will participate in no
more RACES with tbs Valkyrie, and that
seems to settle it.

A WASHINGTON newspaper says the
raciog in Alexandria county is credited
to the national capital. though the peo-
pie of that city have no more to do with
it than they have to do with af-
fairs in Sitka. This is a most remark
able statement, in view of the attention
paid to such racing by the newspaper
referred to, and another one in its city,

ton, and of the indisputable fact that
nearly sll the proprietors. bookmakers,
betters and spectators at the race tracks
