the seventeenth century painter devot
ed himself to shepherds and shepherd
esses, making their tiny lives quaint
and pretty with imaginary settings of
proSaiC realities, so does Mr.. Nevin re-
animate the less easily revivifed little
personages of bygone period. There
is something positively refreshing
about a man who does not feel obliged
to fall in with the modern tendency to-
ward extremes of emotion. One may
rove through the list of Mr.. Nevin S
works without coming upon a soul
racking climax or the notwithstanding
cry Of the dispairing. Does he not APP
preciate the strain and the guiding
pressure of the world about him? one
asks. He does in his ordinarily daily
life, but he does not allow that cro~d-
ing. eXacting Unsuitable world to in
trude into the innermost recesses of
his heart He puts up bolts and bars
against the prOSaic and the common
place, and those who know him have
no difficulty in believing that he would
also dig a moat around his castle did
he perceive any threatening aggres-
sion
There is little wonder that man
like this has a desire to Guido any 9TH

entirely, and brings with him two Of

very important meeting last night, and
transacted considerable business OF

Mr.. Archer has written the following for
this programme: The "Danse Macabre
is one Of the most gruesomeIy fascinating
works in the whole repertoire of modern
programme music and realizes in mar
Vicious fashion, the fantastic idea of the
poet whose verses Saint-Saens so graph
iCally illustrates. 1t opens with the strik-
ing of the midnight hour, after
which the first denizen of the
grave stalks forth with stealthy
tread (cOTtra bassi piZZicatO), and rails
ing his spectral violin, summons his
ghostly companions in a wierd phrase on
three open strings. tire effect If which IS
enhanced Ivy the tuning of the first to
II fiat. The crowd OF skeletons gather
and commence their wild dance inter-
rur5teL. at intervals by the senli-mournful
theme allotted to the solo violin, which
afterwards is blended with the valse prop
er in sk.lful and effective fashion. When
the CHASTITY revel reaches its height, the
first streak of dawn appears. and the
and after lingering vail of regret from
the solo violin all fit away and return
to their graves.
The orchestration is mastery in every
detail the rafting Of the dry bones.
shrieks of anguish and a mournful wall
which pervades the entire score, even in
the midst Of the widest outburst of SIT
pernat ural revelry are all unique features
in composition that may he regarded as
a veritable product of genius.
The height of realism is attained. but
it is Of ideal tyne. and therefore never
wounds the artistic sense by the slight
est approach to the border land of vul-
garfty.

Tomorrow night Ethelbert Nevin,
with able assistance, will give a con-
cert in the Opera HOcse, which will
prove the highest essence of refinement
and charm to be extracted from music.
A representative Wheeling audience
should greet them and in this while eX-
tending deserved tribute to an artist
composer at the same time show our
neighbOring city, Pittsburg that
Wheeling is rapidly going ahead in art
appreciation as city, and not the ten
dency confined TO a few of it's citizens.
1t is true that the coming week is filed
with many attractions but there is no
cause for discrimination, all are as
such, away above the average, each is
distinctive in its character and each is
a rarity to a Wheeling public. The
Onera House should hold all who aim
to encourage talent and genius and es-
necially when the exponent is as well
known as he who is to appear to-mor-
row night. To say that Ethelbert
Nevin is the same who wrote The
Narcissus known to every one youn &
and old. brings him close to personal
acQuaintanceship, and the opportunity
to stamp this as reality should be
eagerly grasped.
MIR. Nevin of late has been the topic
of many newspaper paragraph. Il is
said of him that among the American
composers of songs and pionaforte
pieces in the smaller forms. EthelbPrt
Nevin stands almost in class py him
self. This is true. just as it is true that
his genius is essentially poetic. and in
complete accord with the bright and
beautiful things Of life Blithe, happy
and with an instructive love for light
rather than shadow, his fancy turns to
the free. the gay and the less strenu.
Gus emotions. He is a sort OF a must
cal Vatican, limiting his subjects to
the more artificial phases of existence,
yet forming his work with exquisite
art and the truest sincerity. Just as

Profits of Railways.

The report or the Interstate Com.

year the railways OF the United States
carried over 13.OOO.OOO.O0O passengers
one mile. They also carried $4,000,
100000 tons OF freight one mile. The
total amount paid In dividends on
stock was SSI,G03,311-call II SsS.OOO..
900. OF the total earnings of the rail.
ways about 20 per cent. came from
freight service and 30 per cent. from
passenger service. Let MS assume,
then. that OF the SSS.000.0OO paid In
dividends. 30 per cent, or Sol 100000
was profit on freight service and S28.'
100000 was profit on passenger ser
vice. Let us drop fractions and call II
S62, ,OO0. 600 from freight and S2G.O00,'
900 from passengers. By dividing the
passenger profit into the number Of
passengers carried 13.OOO.O OOO.OOO) We
find that the railways had to carry Il
passenger 800 miles in order to earn
one dollar of profit-or five miles 10
earn one cent. Their average profit,
therefore. was less than two-tenths OF
one cent for carrying passenger land

By dividing the freight profit into
the freight mileage t05,OOO, ,OO0, ,OOO). we
find that the railways had to carry one
ton of freight 1880 miles In order ia
earn one dollar. or over fifteen miles
to earn one cent. The average profit
therefore was less than one-iifteenth
of cent for carrying ton of freight
