THE THOMAS CONCERT.
Big Audience Listens TO Exceptional
Music at the CoIum hia.

When Mr. Theodore Thomas left New
York city for Chicago a year or SO ago.
the New York papers united in express
ing their regret at his departure and i'm
plying doubt as to his success in his new
home. That it was Mr.. Thomas, not the
city of New York. that made his-orches
ira famous was proven to the full salts
faction of Washington at the Columbia
Theater yesterday afternoon.
Public interest in the first appearance
of the Chicago Orchestra was decided.
and in consequence, the theater was
crowded as It has seldom been before.
Naturally the audience was largely made
up of musicians; but there were present
also generous number of official and
society people. Three of the boxes were
taken by Mrs. John r. Mclean, Mrs.
Letter and Mrs. Wetmore.
In arrangement the orchestra does not
differ materially from others of its kind
heard here during the winter, q matter
of much surprise to those who have read
Mr. Thomas's statement that the or
chestra of the future would have in 1t
az many flutes as violins. There were
about sixty pieces in that heard here
yesterday. The concert consisted of six
numbers-the symphony, in minor and
concerto, Tor the NlOlin, IN nat,
by Mozart; the overture to Beethov-
ems "'Coriolanus; tone poem. Don
Juan" by Strauss; Lalo's SYMPHONIC
Espa gnole,' and the overture to Tam
hauser" In two of these numbers, the
second and fifth. NJ. Ysaya appeared as
the soloist. His success was most pro-
nounced.
AS a whole, the concert has not been
surpassed during the season. In tone
and harmony and intelligent interpreta-
ton the orchestra IS trained to an un-
usual degree. This may be due some
what 10 the number of exceptionally
talented performers under Mr.. Thomass
control. or 1t may be due to the personal
skill of the leader. But the fact remains
that from one cause or another, the
numbers rendered were skllfully and ar
tistically done and reflect the greatest
possible credit on the organization and
the city il represents.

WilIard's Birthday.

Chicago, Sept. PA general purify
ing of Chicago is about to begin. Re
form is soon to rap with a mailed
hand at the gates of the city. Chicago
is to have a Parkhurst in the person OF
Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, pastor Of the La
Sale Avenue Baptist church. who will
strike a blow at crime heavier than that
famous clergyman delivered in New
York. All this is to come about through
the efforts of the Young Peoples
Christian Temperance union.
Ten thousand young people will in
augurate the crusade against vice.
Wealth and power will back them and
aid them in the struggle. They believe
the time is now ripe for the move. They
read the daily papers and then say
they cannot shut their eyes to the wave
of crime and extreme vice they claim
is engulfng the city. They cite the case
OF the young girl, hardly Il years old,
who was murdered and thrown into the
lake. One theory is that she was prob
ably enticed into the rear entrance OF
some saloon and assaulted and killed.
The Young Peoples Christian Temper
ance union believes there should be no
delay and will therefore open the cam
paign next week
Something must be done to suppress
the increasing prOh1gacy in Chicago,
else the city is bound to Wither and
eventually die" said a prominent city
officer a few days ago.
The young men and women of Chi
cagO have accepted this hint and VIII
make the effort to snatch the worm
from the rose. Rev. J. @. A. Henry.
pastor of the LaSalle Avenue Baptist
church, has consented to lead the re-
form army Friends of the movement
said yesterday that if this man cannot
''Parkhurst" Chicago no man can. They
know that he inaugurated the most tre-
mendOus moral revolution that San
Francisco has experienced in its his
tory. They have heard of his great
1-s.-
ing up the "Cremmorne'' dive, motor
ious in two continents. Though he does
not talk of it they now recur to the
fact that he brought into line 1000 VO-
ters in that western city who pledged
themselves to cast a ballot for no man
excepting him who had gone on record
as being an enemy to vice and the re-
sorts of the vicious.
The birthday week. of Frances VIII
lard has been chosen as the time fer
firing the opening gun of the conflict.

but to eXemplify her own teachings
and to work with her voice and pen

perceptibly at least the moral tone Of
humanity falls this year on next We'd
nesday. While the inspiration of Miss
! Willard's victories will doubtless infiu-
ence the address of every speaker it
will not be temperance alone that they
will plead for. They will ask for a rev.
olution on a broader scope than this
Not pastors alone, nor one denOmina-
ton alone are behind the proposed cru
sade. The men and women who have
accepted a part in the formal opening
of the drama of reformation hail from
