! The program was made up of two con-

the chorus of 200 voices which Mr.. Cor

val The first was Macfarrens Cantata,
May Day." the last Beethoven's choral
"Fantasie," and just before the latter
number Mr.. c. ModniWood, with a

baton made of ebony, with gold head and
mountings, and a plate upon which was
engraved: ITO Professor. c. S.. Cornell.
from his friends, Los Angeles Ca1for-
mia, 1897" The baton was a gift from
the chorus.
The sextet from Lucia" was sung by
Mrs. Rowan, Miss Beardsley, and Messrs.
Modini- Wood, Cornell and Adams Owen,
and Mr.. Morrison's quartet, made up Of
himself, Mrs. Burdette, Miss Stoneman
and Mr.. Zinck, sang Hatton's "Over
Hill, over Dale" so delightfully."- that an
encore was demanded and given.
The soloists were: Mr. Edward Quin-
Ian, whose voice is particularly well
suited to Pinsuti's Raft" Mrs. T. E.
Rowan, who sang Liszt's King of
Thule" with sympathy. and responded
to a deserved encore with that
graceful little ballad, "The Butterfly"
and Miss Adelaide Beardsly, who sang
"Senta's Ballad" from Wagner's Fly
ing Dutchman."
The singing of Mr.. Adams Owen de-
serves special mention, since last night
was the first adequate hearing he has
had here, and his rendering of his num-
bers, and the encores which were de-
manded was satisfying and artistic His
wide range, and an agreeable timbre:
he uses 1t with very intelligent and dis
eliminating art ,and has good command
of every note.
Last, but not least, was Mr.. Cornell's
solo, Handeps glorious Honor and
Arms" from Samson. Mr. Corn ellis
voice has never been heard to better ad-
vantage here, and his Interpretation and
execution of this elaborately difficult
aria was especially fiue. His voice was
rich and sweet, the tones liquid and very
musical, and his execution of the whole
song was delightful. For an encore
Mr.. Cornell sang a quaint little old bal
lad sympathetically and tenderly, un-
accompanied land for that, too, he re-
ceived enthusiastic and prolonged ap-
plause. Mr.. Cornell leaves for Vermont

reconsider their determination. Failing
in this, they are granted letter of sep

goes to the mother; if more than one,
they are equally divided, unless one of

The End Of Books.

What brings about the end of books?
Is it fire, water, worms? As every ship
launched is bound to be wrecked, every
theater to be burned, the fms Of the
book is its reduction to ashes What be-
came of the Alexandrian library? Did
the Saracens burn it in $40? There is
this question asked: Was there any Ii
brary at Alexandria containing 700, 900
books? Gibbon inclines to the opinion
that there was no such library. Canon
Taylor insists that if there had been a
library it was burned in the time of Ju-
Illus Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate,
however, that there was a library in
the Serapeum, by no means large col
lection, but whether destroyed by The
ophilus or Theodosius is not known. 1t
looks as if the charge brought against
the Arabs rested on no foundation Re-
cent explorations of Alexandria, 1856,
show no traces of the Serapeum. The
seaport of Egypt was built on a damp
foundation, and, granting that there
was a library, if not destroyed by fire,
then the papyri might have suffered
from decay due to water. Books Of to-
day taken to India, to the southern
states and to the West Indies perish

Eli.s Portion.

The patience, perseverance and skill
common to inventors was exhibited at
an early age by Eli Whitney, whose in
vention of the cotton gin afterward
made him famous OF the boys passion
for mechanics and his fathers view Of
it, his sister has given the following ac-
count in Philip @. Hubert's recent book,
Inventors:
Our father had workshop and some
times made wheels of different kinds,
and chairs. He had variety of tools,
and lathe for turning chair posts. This
gave my brother the opportunity Of
learning the use of tools when very
young.
He lost no time, but as socn as he
could handle tools he was always max
ing something in the shop and seemed
to prefer that to work on the farm.
After the death of our mother, when
our father had been absent from home
two or three days, on his return he in
quired of the housekeeper what the boys
had been doing. She told him what the
elders had done.
"But what has Eli been doing?' said
he.
She replied that he had been making
a fiddle.
"Ah," said he despondently, 81 fear
Eli will have to take his portion in fid-
dies. -

Musical Recitation.

Although the Quakers, as sect, do
not favor music, regarding it as profit
less amusement INDUCED in by the
worlds people, there are occasionally
stories told which show that the love of
music sometimes steals it's way into a
Quaker household in spite of discipline.
George Thompson, the famous English
abolitionist, while lecturing on the abo-
lition of slavery in the British provinces,
stopped one night with a Quaker family.
He was a great lover of music. and at
that time was good singer.
During the evening he sang loft In
the Silly Night, which was listened
to with the closest attention.
In the morning his Quaker hostess
appeared somewhat uneasy. She wished
to hear the song again, but it would
hardly do, she thought, for her to re-
quest its repetition. At last, however,
her desire overcame her scruples.
George, she said, with faint pink
color in her soft cheeks, will thee re-
peat the words Of last evening in thy
usual manner?" Companion.

The Songs of the Navaioes.

With the monograph we may note
down what is exactly the musical se-
quence in original songs. In The Land
of Sunshine" is an article entitled
"Songs of the Navajoes, /" and there are
notes of the music, as recorded on the
photographic cylinders, accurately scor-
ed. Mr.. John Comfort Fillmore writes
From the standpoint of the scientific
student of folk song, all these Navajo
songs which / have had the opportunity
to study are extremely interesting. This
interest, too, is of several different
kinds The Navajoes, like all other max
ers of folk music. use their songs as a
medium of poetic and emotional expires.
sion, and it is very interesting to note
the quality of melody they employ for
this purpose. One may note the range
and kind of intervals, the kind of rhythm
and meter and the quality of tone
which these people find appropriate to
the expression of certain ideas and feel
ings in song. A comparison of the Ma
vajo songs in these particulars with the
corresponding songs of other tribes and
races would be a most interesting eth
biological study, especially as the inner
most life of all our aboriginal tribes is
embodied in their music So far as
know, all their prayers and expressions
of religious feeling find outlet in song.
So do all the deeper social emotions,
and the historical records of the tribes,
the traditions of noble deeds, the memo
ries of good and bad fortunes received
at the hands of the gods, all are record
ed and handed down in the songs Of

The Force of Habit.

Brooklyn contains more people who
look to see that which does not exist,
and which they know does not exist,
than any city in the world. And it is
simply because of habit. Nearly all the
railroads in that city, in the older part
of the city, or Brooklyn as it was before
Williamsburg was annexed and assimi-
lated, converge at the city hall, and
until two or three years ago the town
clock was in the cupola of that building
During the many years that it announc-
ed the time by bell and indicated it on
its four dials to the Brooklynites every
person who passed the hall'' looked to
see what time it was. The habit became
an instinct to most Brooklynites, and
today, although they know that fire de-
stroyed the cupola, clock and all, there
is hardly person who steps from car
at the City Hall square or passes the
building who does not look inquiringly
toward the spot where the clock was
but is not. New York Times.
