NO PSALM-TUNEs THEN.
David's Songs Welded to the Ballad
Airs of the French Court.

Airs of the French Court.
It is a curious circumstance that both In
France and in England the necessity-or,
let us say the expediency-of making the
psalmist trun in rhyme" was first recog-
nized by men connected with the court. 1t
occasioned no little surprise when Clement
Marot, "valet of the bedcham Der" to Fran
els I, put forward his musical psalms as
substitutes for the love songs of the French
grandees. And yet, the surprise notwith-
standing, these 'sanctes chansonnettes"
of Marot leaped into fashion, and first
edition of 10000 was disposed of before the
poet had well realized that he had become
famous.
There were no psalm tunes in those
days, and so the Princes, the kings mis-
tresses, the lords and ladies of the court
adapted whatever lay ready to hand, and
unhesitatingIy welded the "sweet singer
of Israel" to the ballad tunes of the times.
More than that, the fashionables had each
a favorite psalm of his or her own. Thus
the Dauphin, as became lover of the
chase. selected "As the hart panteth after
the water brooks: while the Queen. with
equal appropriateness, chose "Rebuke me
not in thine Indignation" Diana of Poic-
tiers would one day be heard singing,
"From the depths of my heart" the next
day KING Anthony or Navarro would be
chanting. "Stand up, o Lord, to revenge
my quarrelW
A strange picture this, of dIssolute
court singing the Psalms of David, from
exquisite little duodecimos in morocco
gilt, to the jig tunes of the day. A strange
but not unique picture, for even the staid
Scottish Presbyterians of early Reforma-
ton times had done something of the
same kind, and had anticipated the Saliva
tion Army Of to-day by transforming the
tunes of "John Anderson, My Jo." and
other goddess aires TO suit the psalms
with which their thoughtful leaders had
provided them. The "Psalms of Dundee"
produced while Knox was preparing to
thunder out his anathemas against the
priests, were incongruous enough in all
conscience in their strange medley of can't
ing absurdity and nonsense. 1t is not easy
for us in these days to understand how
such "gude godlie balla.es, changed out of
profane songs" could be supposed to serve
as corrections of "sinne and harlotrie." In
reading them, "to laugh were want of
godliness and grace" and yet to be grave
"exceeds all power of face" Generally
speaking the ''godlie'' part is as limited
as we find it in the following specimen
taken at random:
With hunts up, with hunts up,

A San Francisco Couple Go to
Oakland to Have the
Knot Tied.
THEY CAUGHT THE LAST TRAIN
The Judge Was at Dinner, but He
Went Down and Slipped On
the Ring.

OAKLAND, Call, March 16.-Peter
Eisenmann and Lena Edelmann came
from San Francisco tonight for the pur-
pose of getting married. They arrived
after the County Clerks office had closed,
but friendly janitor began working tele-
phones, and in the course of few minutes
a license was procured.
Judge Cliff was told there was chance
to make two people happy. He was at his
dinner at the Metropole, but trlfe like
an unfinished dinner does not bother him
in times when votes are as hard to get as
at present, so he hurriedly went to his
office.
Mr.. Eisenmann and his sister and the
bfide-elect were waiting for him and they
told the Judge they were in hurry and
wanted to go back on the next train. Up
the stairs flew the bridal party and into
the dark Office which was dimly lighted
by an electric light on Broadway. The
bridegroom wanted the ceremony per-
formed forthwith; the dim light would
suffice to hide his bushes. But Judge
Cliff could not read the statute in the
dark so he ruled in favor of lighting the
gas. In the meantime the train could be
heard approaching from Oak street with
the bell ringing loudly. The groom got
nervous and asked the Judge to be
speedy, remarking that the lady was sick.
He complied and read with all his might.
The changing bell came nearer and the un-
rest of the bridal party increased.
"The ring, the ring" said the Judge.
The groom 1umbled in his pocket and the
young lady reminded him that he had
already placed it on her finger before the
ceremony began. The Judge continued
reading and beat the train. Just after
repeating the II promise" paragraph the
train stopped at Broadway, and the Missing
air that was released from the brakes of
the train was hardly sufficient, to drown
the sound of the kiss that was imprinted
on the young wife's cheek by her husband.
Pretty good time" said Judge Cliff as
he wiped his brow. only seven minutes
and a half since 1 left my soup" By this
time the newly welded couple were at the
train. which was just starting.
The bride got on the platform first, and
the horrid gateman was just slamming the
gate when little shrek behind caused
him to pause. He had nearly taken the
wife to the City and left the husband of
two minutes in Oakland.

estimate recommended by them, that this is q
very serious obstacle in the way OF public
ownership.
My opponent claims that this assertion is ia
msstatement, unwarranted and mischievous."
Let the words of the new charter speak to the
public. Since he does not quote line OF the
instrument to prove his charge, will quote,
verbatim, and will await the gentleman's
apology.
Article II, chapter 2. section "a, reads thus:
The Board of Supervisors may enter I'M to nego-
tiations for acquiring public utilities, "Pro-
vided, further, that all estimates OF the cost
and value of such works shall be first made
ana recommended to be reasonable by the
Board of Public Works before submission to
the citizens
Turning to the restrictions put upon the
Board of Public Works we find the new charter
provides (article 6, chapter l, section 81: mo
order or resolution shall be passed or business
transacted involving the approval OF bonds,
awarding of contracts, appointment OF en-
ployes, or resolutions OF intention recommend
ing work or improvement, except by the con-
current vote of all said Commissioners" (the
Board of Public Works..
The case is plain and it is true, as we have
contended, that one member of the Beard of
Public Works who would be controlled by or
favorable to the monopolists could insist upon
sucn estimates as would please them, and thus
G Geieat any movement for public ownership.
This IS clearly illustrated if we will suppose
that all the Board of Railroad Commissioners
were required to approve every measure or ac-
tion before it would be of legal effect. Could
not the southern Pacific then block reduc-
ton of rates if they controlled cne member?
We are told that the new charter says the
Board OF Public Works must regularly make
the estimates. That is true; but it nicely ad-
justs matters so that the estimates will b. fav-
orable to the ASSOCIATED villainies" if they
can control or influence one member of the
board.
The advocate says that he is "a firm believer
in municipal ownership" His belief is better
than his perception and knowledge OF the
wiles of monopolists. Quoting his own words
70 fhar trrolor rtarI IaNr,-
clude that so involved Is the new charter and
the limitations placed upon liberal construc-
tions will be SO many and awkward that it
will be an open question among jurists
whether or no San Francisco could ever secure
public ownership of anything.

Disloc ated Her Jaw.

Mrs. Davis, an old lady, living at $50 O'Far-
rell street, sat down to read the Chronicle
yesterday morning and soon fell asleep. The
paper slipped from her hand and the noise
awakened her with start. She yawned SO
vigorously that she dislocated her jaw, and il
required the combined efforts of Drs. Bunnell
and Rinne and liberal use of chloroform at
the Receiving Hospital to reduce the dis
