Never before has musical criticism
been taken up and discussed with such

promise as to future influence. Even
the much maligned woman's depart

a power exists that we little realize.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Opcnine by Christmns.

The managers of the Washington Pub
lie Library are making strenuous ef-
forts to have the home of the institution
ready for occupation before Christmas
and at the rate the work was progress
ing yesterday it is very likely that their
object will be accomplished. Lately the
number of volumes has been greatly in
creased by donations of books and con-
tributions in cash with which to pur-
chase others. In view Of this fact. the
rooms of the library at No. 1926 New York
Avenue are being remodeled and put in
first-cIass style. in order that the con-
tents may be arranged TO better advan-
tage and satisfaction than heretofore.
The work Of preparing the rooms of the
library for the reOpening is being done
under the personal supervision Of the
librarian, Weston Flint, and is being
pushed ahead as rapidly the nature of
the work will allow.
AT the time of the reopeninG ii is proba-
BILE that there will be at least 1900 vol
umes upon the shelves Of the library.
About 000 volumes Of these are the
books which were in the old city library,

GEORGE BOSTON CONVICTED.
One Hundred and sixty Years the
Maximum Penalty.

George H Boston. colored who for
more than thirty years has been a char
acter in Washington. was yesterday cor
victed in Criminal Court No. l OF violat-
ing the United States pension law and also
of forgery.
When the jury rendered the verdict,
Boston, in default of $500 bond, was re
manded for sentence and taken to the
District Jail, where he spent the night.
Chief Justice Bingham will impose sen
tence.
The Indictment upon which Boston was
convicted contained sixteen counts. each
charging violation of the pension law
and forgery. According to the statute
providing a penalty for such onenses. the
court may at it's discretion impose Il SEN
tence ranging from one to ten years. or a
fine OF S5.e59 and imprisonment not ex-
ceeding five years. So. in the event OF
Justice Bingham imposing the minimum
sentence. the result would be a term of
sixteen years in the penitentiary at Co
lumbus. o. Or should he be given the
limit of the time sentence he would have
100 years TO serve.
According to the alternative of the stat
ute providing a penalty Boston is liable
To a ilne OF SSt-Dsp ana Il term Oh iiiipfiSblI-
ment of eighty years.
Boston was charged with defrauding the
United States Government by forgery of
about SI.O09, which he collected by repre-
seuting himself to be one John II. How
ard. According to the testimony, How
ard. who was a soldier in the Unitel
States army. applied for a pension in
June, 1882. The pension had been allowed
by the Government. bat before it was act
ed upon Howard died. About a year after
his death a notice was sent to the house
where he had lived informing him that
ne was entitled to the pension. Boston
was living in the same house. When thc
communication addressed to Howard
came Boston's landlady. knowing him to
be q pensioner, handed him the letter to
DISPOSE of. From that time until last
March Howard's pension voucher has
been regularly issued by the pension bu-
reau and has always been c2sned by Bos-
ten whose Endorsement as the payee was
found upon the back Of each. These facts
were clearly shown by the Government.

HARR1s's 1NcENDIARY SPEECH.
His Insult to White People Calls
Forth Comment

The language used against the white
people of the South by Reporter John T.
Harris, of the Evening Star in his ad-
dress at the negro mass-rneeting held at
Israel Methodist Church on Tuesday
night was the subject of much comment
yesterday. A gentleman from the South
who is registered at one of the hotels,
said, last night, in discussing the mat
ter. that there is probably not another
place in the United States where a white
man would dare to malign and so mis-
represent the people of any section as
he did without having to suffer the
consequences. What consequences"
meant, the gentleman refrained from say
ing, further than if any information were
really wanted upon this point he
guessed 1t could be obtained from the
Tolberts. of South Carolina"
Continuing. the speaker said: No
doubt Harris found himself in his proper
sphere in the presence of an audience
which would applaud any utterance. no
matter how vile or untrue, which might
be said about the white people of The
South. So far as the facts are concerned
1t is safe 10 say that he is in perfect ig
norance of the relations which exist be-
tween the white people of the South and
their former slaves. II his tour of in
vestigation had carried him farther than
the headquarters of some white carpet
bagger, whose sole occupation is to stir
up strife between the whites and the
blacks, he would know better. Such men.
he must know, if he knows anything at
all of the situation. have no other object
except to create strife between the races.
for. without lit, they would have no
means of making living.
Whatever excuses such people may
plead" the speaker continued, lis neither
here nor there, SO far as your man Har
ris is concerned.
He knows and ! know, and you know,
that he would not dare go into any South
ern State and use such incendiary lam
suage as he is reported to have used in
this city. When a man, either white or
black, makes such statements as he did
down in my country, it is safe to bet
that he has already made his will and
perfected all arrangements for his funcr-
al. Down in my State colored man has
no use for a gun except to shoot opos-
sums and coons. They never think of
raising a disturbance unless melted to do
SO by just such men as your man Har-
ris. Whenever We see men of his stamp
coming around, we by experience know
what their purpose is, and advise the bet
ter class of colored people to keep shy of
them. OF course there are some who will
not take our advice, nor that of the ma
tural leaders of their own race, and it is
these who always cause the trouble
We harbor no i'll feeling against them
however. but place the blame where it
belongs-at the doors of the scheming
white men who incite them TO unlawful
acts.
Harris will not have to go all the way
TO the Carolinas to find people opposed
TO negro rule. and If, as he says, the
whites are all murderers and assassns.
he ought to be very careful how he
travels the dark streets of even this city
alone"

Interesting Question.

An interesting question came up at the

The point was raised in connection with
the forthcoming restoration of the pay of
