EMIL PAUR DOUBTFUL.
Not Certain Whether He Will Conduct
Boston Symphony Orcrestra.
TFroro tba F2ostoe TournaIN


Mr.. Emil Paur, the conductor of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, informed a
Journal reporter last night that he did
not know whether he would be the con-
ductor next year. Regarding the re-
ported engagement of Felix Weingart-
ner, the conductor of the Royal Opera
House in Berlin, as his successor. MIR,
Paur said, what Henry L. Higginson,
the patron of the Symphony Orchestra,
is reported to have said: ut is lie"
The suggestion that Walter Damrosch,
the opera conductor, might be the next
conductor, was spoken of at Music Hall
last night as an absurdity,
'T do not know anything about the
future" said Mr.. Paur "Mr. Higgin-
son is not yet ready to decide So 1
can say absolutely nothing"
rs it true that you declined two offers
recently to conduct in Europe?' asked
the Journal reporter.
Eyes, I declined two offers last sum-
mer"
''Why?' asked the reporter.
Because I did not know positively
that would not be here next season" ;"
said Mr.. Paur.

1t is a timely remark that whether
the taxation of residences owned by
colleges bur rented to the professors, is
Just or not, the next and logical step is
the taxation of dormitories owned by
the colleges and rented to the students.
That step has already been taken in
New Haven, where it is proposed TO tax
the Yale dormitories. In either case,
the result would be a diminution of the
resources and income of the colleges,
and to that extent it tends to make ed
ucation more expensive. The college
must either find some new source of
income or offer fewer advantages to the
students, or charge more for what it
gives The established policy of the
commonwealth is hostile to any action

Sarah Grand has become a candidate

Of the gentle dignity, the grace with
which women can add so much to the
beauty OF life" And again: when she
is out of temper, she does not conceal
the fact. She walks with a
stride, she elbows people about in a
crowd, she asserts herself on all oeca-
sions, and there is a conceited Tn as
good as you are sort of air. about her,
a. want Of becoming difference to people
older than herself, which is peculiarly
unloveiy, not to say offensive, and pro-
claims her at once underbred and un-
generous" Surely such challenge as
this will not pass unnoticed.

Probably the man who is getting the
most newspaper notoriety in New York,
just now, is Prof. Henry F. Champion
Of Columbia University, who has start
led the community with pictures of in
sect monstrosities which he has made
by cutting cocoons in twain and graft
ing segments of different embryos to-
gether. The results are moths with two
heads and no tails. two tails and no
heads, the head Of one species tackled
to the tail of another; others Joined to-
gether like siamese twins. and variety
Of phenomena that need not be speci-
fled here. The intention was to vary
the colors Of the wings Of a given spe-
cies of moth, for the colors depend upon
the composition Of the insect blood.
There are hints of other scientific re-
suits, but as yet these are of somewhat
hazy definition. 1t appears that insects
in the pupa state have no nerve cells,
and therefore are without feeling, so
that the long-named society has not yet
seen cause for interference.

The decision of the anti-Williams
members of the democratic state COM
mittee to ask Christopher 7. Callahan
to call a meeting of the full committee
"before further organization is perfect
ed'' was not reached until after live
ly exhibition of opposition. These men
were bitterly hostile to Williams. They
his methods as unfair, dicta
torial and obnoxious; his designs were
described as selfish in the extreme, being
nothing less than a determination to
place himself at the head of a small fol-
lowing which he could lead to the next
national convention, and assert that
he and they represented all there
was of the democratic party in Massa-
chusetts. The speakers naturally did
not forget to tell how Williams had
practically annihilated the party in the
state The Bristol and Worcester coun-
ty members were the most aggressive of
the lot. Mr. Rourke and Mr.. O'Gara of
Spencer seemed especially eager for a
fight. AS a whole, however, the mem
bers We're unwilling to appear IN the at
titude of completing the dislntegration
of the party, and in the interests of
harmony and consolidation, which they
said was the one essential for party eff
ficiency, they adopted the resolutions
which are to be sent to Mr.. Callahan,
whom the Williams men have elected
chairman. Why Mr.. Callahan should
have withdrawn from his agreement of
the previous Saturday, to JON DR.. Cooke
in calling a meeting of the full commit
tee was a topic for discussion, but the
waiter was waived, and it is now Mr..
Callahan's turn to move. VIII Williams
dictate a move that will tend to promote
harmony or aggravate the dissension?

1t is said that the people are arming on
both sides of the Swedish and Norwe-
gian frontier. The complete disagree
ment of the committee of compromise
was only what was expected, and there
seems no reason to doubt that matters
are in a very critical situation. In case
of collision it would be a nice question
to decide. whether to call it a civil war
or a foreign war. The definition would
depend upon the sympathies of the
speaker, That an irrepressible conflict
is coming over the tariff and inde-
pendent diplomatic and consular service
for each country. the correspondents
have long asserted.
