ORIGIN OF MUSIC.
The Supposed and tho Actual-Lec-
ture by DIR. Hugh A. Clark.

The Supposed and the Actual-Lec-
ture by DIR. Hugh A. Clark.
The lecture given last evening by DR..
Hugh A. Clark at the summer school was
a remarkable production in its line. DIR.
Clark is known not only in this country
but in Europe, and recognized as a great
musician and specialist. He holds the
chair Of music in the University of Penn
sylvania. He has written music for three
great plays taken from the Greek, some
thing which no other man has accom-
plished. DIR. Clark's subject was the
"Supposed and Actual Origin OF Music. "
He started with the origin OF scales
amongst the savage tribes stating that
the pentatonic or five tone scale was
based on the songs of the Chinese, Jap
anese. Scotch and Irish peoples. The
songs of these nations were invariably
established through their speech. The
idea OF. pjtcn was derived through infiec-
tion of words, while the idea of rhythm
was esta biished from the rhythm of words.
The doctor said that the origin of the
diatonic scale began with the first at
tempts to cultivate music as part OF
relig ious service. The result was that
those two scales, the pentatonic and the
diatonic were often found side by side.
The popular scale was used for the
peoples songs, and the diatonic for re-
ligious songs. The lecturer then traced
the origin of the modern scale through
the Greek and the church scales. He then
gave an ella Dorate explanation OF the diu-
erence between these two scales and how
the church scale grew out of the miscon-
ception OF the Greek music. After ex-
planning the scale of the Middle Ages the
doctor. closed by giving the development
of the modern scale after the test of tenn
pering the scale so that 1t might be
divided into ~ equal parts.

WORK TICKETS AGAIN.
Another Muddlc Over Alleged Sale of
Employment Getting Cards.

Another Muddlc Over Alleged Sale of
Employment Getting Cards.
The employment tickets issued by the
park commissioners are again causing
trouble and as result there was a
gathering OF the tribes OF Turkey, Persia,
Italy and a part of the North End in the
private Office of the com m ssioners at
10 80 O'Clock this forenoon. There was
plenty OF chatter, threats and expostula-
lions, but after Persian interpreter had
wrestled with the aggregation for some
t.ne the following story materialized:
Yesterday Samuel Benz jamin, an erst-
while Lieutenant OF John Nelson, while
at the park accused John Nelson OF fleece
ing Isaac Mooii, poor Turk of s10 for
an employment ticket. This was denied
by hot q John aud the Turk, but was
supplanted by a statement that Ratllowich,
n lieutenant OF Nelson's, had come the
"Xraise" game on Moorf for the ticket
issued on July g. Rafllowich, who claims
To be notary public Geniud the charge.
The Turk ish-Russian-E English translat-
ing machine was turned on again, and
ground out another story TO the effect
that Sarka, an Armenian, had received
tho $40 from Moori. Whether this is so
or not will mot be known until tomorrow
morning, when Sarka Will give his ver-
sion OF tho affair before the commits
sioners.
Alderman Robert w. Burbank sad
that Mocri, in company with .Ratilowich
had entered his office and UPON the
recommendation of Rafiiowich, Moori had
received an mrloyment card from him.
Moori says hat RafIlowich had written
on card for him ut the park, FOR which
he paid $40. and upon showing 1t to tho
oficial at the park had received employ
ment
The commissioners are somewhat dazed
over the conflicting testimony and Mt
present things are in q pretty muddle,
which II is TO be hoped Will be cleared
mp when Sncka speaks.
There was previous 10 this another en-
ployment ticket case in which 1omasso
Maacini and Antonio Diannini claimed
they paid Justine Benedictis one dollar
each for tickets. Benedictis cleared
himself and said that the money he
charged them was for advice. Further
more he had charged each OF the men
on additional five for ore advice. and as
th'y havs refused 10 settle he has at
tao cd their pay.

gresham Towne OF Minnesota are also
spoken OF, but neither apparently with
serious purpose. Ii Is suggested that the
discussion OF Mr.. Towne as probability
Is for the purpose of leading up to the
nomination OF Senator Pettigrew, who
has openly joined the Populist party. IL
is very apparent, however, that IL the
anti. Bryan faction should prove 10 be In
the majority in the convention, but little
difficulty Will be experienced in reaching
a conclusion on this important point
Cyclone Davis has prepared, and will
ask the PopulIst convention TO add the
following reeolution:
Whereas, Mckinley and the Republican
party represent the existing gold stand
ard, and the perpetuation OF which means
that the national banking system Is TO
be re-chartered for 90 years, and that our
national debt is to be refunded and made
q gold instead OF a coin debt, and bonds
to run 90 year ana,
Whereas, This system is to be fastened
upon the country by treaty with the
foreign nations, under the false pretense
of an international conference. which
means the ultimate enslavery OF the
masses and the complete establishment
of the classes.
Resolved, That to defeat this measure
and insure Mr.. McKinley's defeat, so far
as orr vote goes, we pledge ourselves 10
unite with the Democrats on one set OF
electors in eacn State. This Is the senti-
ment OF the "middle OF the road" Popu-
lists

Sold Them Very Cheap.

trict Court this morning pleaded guilty
to breaking and entering the barn of
Charles A. Hull and stealing a wagon

q thief Tor one SO young, he being not
more than 1S years old. Sometime ago
Martin was employed by Charles Gardiner
OF Fall River, produce dealer, with a
brancn Office in this city. Martin was
discharged about month ago. About
two weeks ago, MIR. Goodwin had car
load of potatoes consigned to him in this
city, ana as he did not have any place to
store them, he was given permiss to
leave them at the freight yard under a
shed, and as the place Is frequented by
railroad men at all hours of the night
and day, the place was con-
sIdered perfectly safe. The potatoes
had not been unloaded moro than day,
when Martin came along with a team,
loaded in number of barrels and
drove off, the railroad men thinking that
lie was still In the employ of Mr.. Good
win. Martin called every morning and
got a load, ana it has been learned that
be disposed OF them 10 hawkers at a
great sacrifice. This is why he stole the
wagon and harness. and as for the horse,
he hire d one each day from Mr., Carpen-
ter OF So North Main street, telling MIN
that the wagon and harness were his
property.
Martin was taken into custody last
evening by patrolman William N.
Sherman, at his home on Bath street.
Martin admitted to the patrolman that
he had stolen some of the potatoes. Mr..
Goodwin mas hunted for his potatoes in
