A SONG LECTURE
w. L. Tomlins on Psalmody at First
congregational Church

The last lecture by William L. Tomlins
to be given in the city was that on psalm
ody" last evening In the First Congrega-
tional church, to a fair-siZed audience.
There was not as much lecture as singing
in it; the speaker bringing out in few
forceful words the depth of meaningin the
sentiment Of some Of the standard hymns
and demonstrating how they should be ex-
pressed by the voice. -
The idea back of the words is what should
give them expression. said the speaker,
and this was demonstrated In the singing
of national hymns in New York after the
Manila victory. After victories during the
civil war there was deep, profound
Thanksgiving expressed for the perpetuity
Of the government and the principles for
which It stood. In the recent war the only
sentiment that sounded through the world
was 1--WE have whipped the Spaniards and
we are victorious; We have smashed the
enemy and gained great victory"
Words contain more or less, according to
the vowe.s there are in them. and express
different shades Of meaning according 10 the
sentiment implied. The three words in the
language to be more emphasized than any
others In sacred music are God, Is and l..
The lecture may be summed up as demon
stration of the manner in which sacred
music should be sung, by man thoroughly
conversant with the science of music
Strung along with remarks epigrammatic
in force and depth of thought, the hymns
selected were: abide With Me-" Lead,
Kindly Light" and others equally well
known.
Mr.. Toml.ns left last evening for San
Francisco ard will return to New York
October LIST to arrange for a series of lee
lures to be given during the winter in the
leading cities of the country.

MIDDLfhAM'S MOVE

signs-A Stump for Campaign
Oratory-Cannery Busy

ANAHEIM, Sept. 15.-The board Of school
trustees held another warm session las;
night. The board was called to order by
President Middleham present, Irus tees
Darling and Gardiner. Contractor Nc
williams appeared before the board and
made complaint of having been unfairly
treated, inasmuch as painters were put TO
work on the Central school building with
out his being consulted. The kick, of course,
raised the temperat ure of the meeting con-
siderably, as Trus tee Midlothian is one OF
the painters. To Mr.. McWilliams' question
to the board the answer was, YES" Trus-
tee Gardiner gave 1t as his opinion thai II
was Illegal for Mr.. Midlothian, as school
trustee to take the job of painting he
school house. Trustee Midlothian, who is
president Of the board, suggested that the
only way to settle the difficulty was to re-
lieve Contractor McWilMams Of his duties
Trustees Darling and Gardiner failed to see
the necessity for such action, as the work
was being done in first-class order. Mr..
McWiMiams accordingly was retained. II
was also decided to have the painting all
done by painters living inside this district.
President Middlehan seemed 10 be dissat-
;sfied with this action and stated that he
would resign as president and member of
the board of school trustees Trustees
Gardiner suggested that he would have to
place his resignation before the county SUI
perintendent of schools. The board then
adjourned.
Last night the second meeting of the COM
mittees Of the fusion party and Republicans

Damon and Pythias.

Much satisfaction is felt over the com
ing OF the famous tragedian, Sanford
Dodge, who will be the attraction here
Monday evening, January 24th. The
play will be John Banim's romantic
drama, Damon and Pythias, in which
Mr.. Dodge is pronounced inimitable in
the role OF Damon. The critics are
unanimous in accrediting him the great
est Damon on the American stage today,
possessing as he does all the component
parts which constitute the tragic star.
Never on the dramatic boards did the
friendship of man for his fellow man APP
pear so actually sublime and intensely
thrilling as when portrayed by Mr..
Dodge through the medium of this far
famed touching drama EIe not only
carries his audience back to Grecian life
and Grecian scenes 200 years ago, and
incites their thought-he makes them
feel and the mighty ovation which has
invariably greeted the popular actor dur
lug his ausplcious career as tragic stal
is abundant testimony that the people
consider him benetactor as well as an
idol.
The company is a splendid one, mum
bering among its members such noted
actors as Miss Emma Muncy, Ernest
Fisher, ard VIM. Lloyd, Mr.. Lloyd is
well calculated to play the part 80 deal
to every Pythian, being accounted al
ideal Pythias.
The play will be given under the aus
picos OF the focal X OF Z. lodge.
