adagio gives excellent opportunity for
display of the singing tone and for the
exercise of poetry and sentiment, The
finale Is dashing and makes large de-
mands upon the technique of the player.
Ysaye's performance of it brought forth
a storm of applause, and 1t was de-
served. The "Parsifal' paraphrase, a
favorite concert piece, was given in a
masterly manner and in the case of the
distinguished Belgian, this means that
the air was delivered with a superbly
round, full tone, and with all the
meaning that a really great singer
would put into his music and words
The violin part seemed actually vocal,
but of purity seldom equalled by the
singer.
Ysaye's bowling is very strong and
firm, and his left hand accomplishes
with stupendous ease all that is given
to a violinist to do. He is rarity upon
when we 1lave been privileged to hear
him he has never seemed greater
artist than he was in Mechanics Hall.
1t may be doubted whether his per-
sonality adGs to or detracts from the
general effect. Certain it is, however,
that when he once lays his bow to the
strings, the entire aspect of his singular
face is changed, and the play of express
sion is something to fascinate the eye
of the beholder. A more completely
contented and satisfied audience has
seldom sat in time-honored Mechanics
Hall. The concert was one to treasure
long in the memory.

Then there is a closer unity with the

union of church and nation, and there
never can be, still more and more is the

not preaching politics, but preaching to

Most of all, there is the tendency to
work for and think of the whole world
There is a movement from local effort

ought to be defined in it's purpose. The

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY
Class for Study of Birds Has Its First
Session.

The adult class for the study of birds,
which is to be led by Miss Helen A.
Ball, had its first session Monday after
noon, and more than could be accommo-
dated, on account of the size of the lee
ture room, appeared at the Natural His
tory Museum for what is a popular
course of lessons (And here is a good
place to say that the society is much
crippled in its work by its locality and
lack of room and money! The hour
was given up to a study of the parts of
birds, their classification, the points to
be observed, and a description of the
color, markings, naDits and songs of
those that have already appeared this
spring.

was enrolled among Worcester pastors,
he still holds a warm spot in the hearts
of the church people of the city, and
more especially among those of the Con-

Preceding the speaking came the usual

speak upon "The world and our world
DR. Larnson was most cordially received
and after the applause had ceased,
prefaced his address by stating how
much enjoyment it gave him to speak
to a Worcester audience.

THE JOHNSON AUTOPSY.
Medical Examiner Baker Finds Alcohol.
ism Cause of Death.


Medical Examiner f. H. Baker CON
Quoted an autopsy on the body of Chas.
Johnson, who died under circumstances
that the authorities thought warranted
an investigation. DR.. Baker gave as the
result of his finding, that the man died
of acute alcoholism
There were several bruises about the
head and face, and fracture of the
nose, but none of the wounds We're
thought of sufficient gravity to cause
death. The skull or brain gave no evil
dence of injury. The mans heart and
kidneys gave evidence that the man had
been hard drinker, and We're badly af-
fected.
Charles Carlson, who was held on the
charge of assault, pending the result of
the autopsy, will be arraigned Tuesday
morning, and, should the testimony of
the medical examiner prove that the
blows received had nothing to do with
the mans death. he will probably be
discharged.
The body was taken to the under
taking rooms of Benjamin. Bernstrom,

great mass Of the public ignorant CT
the actua! state of affairs, has con-
tended that the only method of.bringing
the war home to the people of Spain,
would be to send an American squad
ron there to harass the coast, cut of
shipping and lombard fortifications.
The purpose was to bring the Spanish
people to a realization of the hopeless
ness of continuing the present struggle.
Since the departure of the Cadiz fleet
for the Philippines there is another OBJ
ject in view. in addition to the first.
This is to destroy or capture this Cadlz
fleet by a bold stroke, and then to take
up the work of harassing the Spanish
at home, providing that blow does not
suffice to bring about peace.
The United States Consul at Port Said
has reported to the State Department
that in obedience to it's injunction, he
has lodged a protest against the sup
ply of coal there for the Spanish squad
ron 1t is thought the failure to obtain
coal at Port Said would not in itself
prevent the Spanish vessels from pass
ing through the canal, and continuing
on their way to the Philippines, for
they have with them one or more coll
iers. But the coal carried by these
Golfers would be absolutely essential
to the vessels of the squadron long De-
fore they had crossed the Arabian Sea.
Under the British neutrality laws, the
ships could take coal only once at
British port under any circumstances,
and all of the coaling stations after
passing the Suez Canal being BRUSH
possessions, the Spanish supply would
be exhausted long before the end OF the
voyage was reached.
But there is also a question as TO
whether Camara's squadron could take
coal initially at any British port until
they had crossed the half way line be-
