has done an exceedingly satisfactory

comln@nds itself to everyone, for it ii
based on equity to both borrower and

that no minister carries with him

were sang in response to repeated
encores. MIR. j. a. Lively, her ac-
companist who is new to Baltimore

Murray is new to the west-end but
she made good impression. Madam

better, and while she did well was
not at her best. Mr.. Geo. Simpson

lopsided and topheavy, but re-

defects and put the English mind

the whole matter will be an agree
ment upon Venezuelan matters and
after that is settled there will be
an international arbitration policy
decided upon that will render re-

1t is amusing, or would be, if it
was not so humiliating, to see the
manner in which Platt's platitudes
are accepted by the republicans of
that empire state as crumbs of
political wisdom. The manner in
which they respond to his asser-
ton Of self-sacrificing labor for the
advancement of republicanism is
sickening. New York would be
fifty thousand stronger republican
today if Platt had died ten years
ago, or about the time that he re-
signed his seat in the senate for
the good of the party.
