THE ADAMowsKI QUARTET.
First Chamber Music Concert of the
 Season.

First Chamber Music Concert of the
 Season.
 The first concert in the University Chamber music course was given by the Adamowski Quartet of Boston at North Sheffield hall Tuesday evening. It revived pleasant memories to find oneself again in the old hall where these splendid concerts were given for so many years. The hall in North Sheffield is much better adapted for chamber music than the College street hall The acoustics are better and there is certain delightful sense of in- timacy about small hall. Last even ings concert was the first in the twelfth annual series which is in itself record of the abiding interest felt here in chamber muse. The support of the concerts has been constant among the faithful few to whom such music appeals, but it has never been suffi- cient to place the course on a firm financial basis. It was hoped that with the evident growth of musical culture here that the clientele would be aug mented. This has not proven true, and as the expense of the series increases each year through the steadily advan- oing prices of the quartets employed, it has been found necessary to decrease the number of concerts. This year we have only four-two by the Adamowski and two by the Kneisel quartet. A 5oh+ ,f ;a %o +l, men who have managed these concerts for so many years, and perhaps some day the public will wake up to the fact that they miss the best opportunity for hearing good music that is offered in this city.
 The Adamowski Quartet is made up of four excellent musicians from the Boston Symphony orchestra. The per- sonnel consists of Timothee Adam owski, first violin; Arnold Mol dauer, second violin; Max Zach, viola and Joseph Adamowski. cello. To compare them with the Kneisel Quar- tet is a rather fruitless occupation The present organization lacks primari- ly the marvellous homogeneity of the older quartet, quality that only years of training can produce. But there is an interesting individuality about their playing and interpretations, certain freedom of style and spontaneity that are delightful. The quartet is easily dominated by MT. Tim" Adamowski, and as he is a vfolinist of great native talent and admirable training, the re- suit was bound to be good. The beau tiful viola playing of MT. Zach was mo- ticeab'e throughout the evening. The programme contained nothing new. It consisted of Tsehahkowsky's D major quartet. Haydn's variations on the Kaiser" hymn and Schumann's A mi nor quartet Although there was noth- ing new there was nothing old, because time has no effect on the beauties of these works.
 The next concert will be by the Knei- sel Quartet on November 29

- "If the Spanish fleet has entered
Santiago harbor as reported" said n.
S. Reubens, of the Cuban Junta to the
New York Sun on Saturday, "it has
chosen the safest port in Cuba; for,
owing TO the narrowness Of the en-
trance, il would be difficult for Samp-
son to get inside to attack. The har-
Dor could very easily be made impreg-
nable. On the other hand, however,
Il blockade Of that port would be very
easy, and if the Spanish fleet is there,
Sampson can bottle it up and starve
them into submission. The Spaniards
can get little or no supplies in Santiago
province, for CaliXto Garcia has II 900
we'll armed men, in that province, and
he holds most Of the interior towns.
He is now undoubtedly holding San
tiago city from the rear, and if Samp-
son blockades the port the Spanish
fleet would be in bad way. 1t would
seem strange that the Spanish should
voluntarily go into such trap, leav-
ing themselves without a proper base
of supplies, but that has been the his
tory of the Spanish government all
through this war. They have relied
on Providence for supplies, and their
commissary department has never
been well equipped. Whenever they
did get the Cubans OH the run they
couldn't follow them up, because they
never had more than two days sup
plies"

- Hon. VIM. J. Bryan is working hard
on his scheme to organize regiment of
volunteers in Nebraska. Upon the call
for volunteers by the governor, the re-
sponses were not very rapid but when
Mr.. Bryan interested himself volunteers
began to enroll rapidly. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Bryan's plan is to enlist as pri-
vate, he elected captain, and then secure
promotion to a colonelcy. OF course,
there is more or less politics in the whole
scheme; but it is bold move. Mr..
Bryan will put himself completely in the
hands of his enemies. There are many
who will scout the idea of his being sub
iected to any uniairness; but it is not
well to scout too fast. There is an old
saying, on very good authority, to the
effect that the heart of man is deceitful
above all things and desperately wicked.
We believe this; and then there is anoth-
er thing. Away back in history there
was an old gentleman by the name of
David who, in his day and time, was re-
garded as very good citizen. 1t is told
of this fellow David that he had reasons
for desiring to get rid of man by the
name of Urias. Urias was patriotic
soldier, and a good one who never shirk-
ed a duty. There was war going along
about that time and Urias was on duty at
the front. Well, it is said, and it is not
an idle rumor either, that David entered
into little conspiracy with general by
the name of Joab, as the result of which
Urias was killed. Now, neither Joab or
David ever told anything about this little
conspiracy, and there never was court
of Justice, either before or since, in which
they could be convicted. Most people,
however, believe they were guilty. But
getting back to Mr.. Bryan. When he
becomes private, or even colonel, he
will be in the hands of his enemies,
David and Joab. They may not kill
him; but they will see to it that he does
not get an opportunity to distinguish him
self, unless by accident. Now, we do not
mean any special reflection on President
Mckinley or Mark Hanna; but we do
not believe either one Of them has any
better reputation than was enjoyed by
David in his neighborhood. OF course,
the David incident occurred away back
yonder some 5000 years ago but the
heart of man is still deceitful above all
things, and politics is still politics. May
be Mr.. Bryan is doing good thing in
Joining the army but somehow we are
unable to see it that way.

AROUT PEOPLE.

Misses Nina and Ethel Cartwright, of
Albany, KY, are visiting the family of
DR.. A. Y. Cartwright.
Mr.. Clarence P. Lowrance last week
visited the family Of DR.. U. NJ. Boat
wright, at Montmoreici, S. c., where he
spent several days very pleasantly.
DR.. Miles Walker, who has been
through a siege of typhoid fever, is able
to sit up, and is developing an appetite
for toast and broth, ETC., like his mother
and sisters used to make"
The condition Of Treasurer Neely has
been more encouraging since the perform
ance Of the operation mentioned last
Saturday. He was thought to be much
better yesterday.
Rev. DR.. r.. r. English, Of Hampden-
Sidney, Va, preached in the Presbyte-
rian church on Sunday night, and was
shaking hands with his many old friends
during Monday. DIR. English looked as
if he was glad to be in Eorkville, and
there is no doubt of the fact that he has
hundreds Of friends here who were glad
to see him.
Rev. J. w. Humbert and wife, and
Rev. a. n. Brunson, returned last Satur-
day from the Quadrennial conference of
the NJ. +. church South. just held in Bal
timore. They report an interesting and
successful meeting. Among other things
two bishops were elected by the confer
ence-Dr. II. G. Morrison and DR.. w. A.
Gambler. Many changes were suggested
in the discipline; but only few were
adopted.
Although the fact does not seem to be
generally appreciated, Sam Meacham, OF
Fort Mill, is one Of the fastest bicycle
riders in the county. He won the one
mile novice in Charlotte the other day in
242. Speaking of him to the reporter
few days ago, John Ardrey said: II can
lead Sam by about one wheel length; but
with all I can do, cannot leave him any
further. He will stay right behind me-"
Ardrey did not ride at Charlotte on ac-
count of his physical condition, which, as
already stated, has not been good for
several weeks.

We have seen no confirmation of our
dispatch of last Friday to the effect that
the United States and Great Britain had
agreed upon an offensive and defensive
alliance. The thing is being talked in the
papers and by diplomats, not only i'll our
own, but in all European capitals. OF
course the senate has a say so in the mat
ter; but if the administration has OH hand
anything of the kind, it can so shape
events as to force its consummation.
That England wants such an alliance is
generally understood. 1t is to her inter-
est to have it, for then she will be in po-
sition to either bluff or whip all Europe.
But where there is to come any advantage
to the United States, does not yet clearly
appear.

THE WAR BOARD.

Whether it is a useful institution or a
nuisance, is question; but the navy
board of strategy at Washington, com
monty known as the war board, is COM
ing in for great deal of unfavorable
criticism just now.
The war board consists of members OF
the cabinet, the president, number OF
active and retired army and navy ofli-
GERS, and possibly others who may, from
time to time, be especially invited to par
ticipate i'm the interesting and exciting
game. The operations Of the war board
are conducted from statistics and maps,
etc, OH the strength of reports from COM
manders at the front, and from consular
officers scattered throughout the world.
All the while that Sampson, Schley and
others have been at their posts ready for
emergencies, and chatting with impa-
tience when they saw splendid opportu-
mites for decisive blows slipping by, they
have been tied hand and foot by the war
board, and could do nothing until they
received orders from headquarters.
Sampson, especially has been so situated

rs to be able to see lots of important
things to be done. For instance, he has
observed from day to day the strengthen
ing of the Notifications about the entrance
to Havana harbor. He knew, Of course,
that it will be necessary to finally reduce
these Notifications. Some weeks ago, he
could have destroyed everything in sight
without danger to himself and within ten
minutes. Now the same thing cannot be
accomplished except at much greater
risk, all because the war board, thou
sand miles away, insists upon having
things done in accordance with "scien-
tifc principles"
During the late war, Stonewall Jackson
informed one of his superintendent of
construction that it would be necessary to
build bridge across a stream, and that
the chief engineer would furnish him
with the drawings forthwith. A day or
two later the superintendent of construc-
ton came to General Jackson and report
ed that although he had not yet received
those drawings, the bridge had been
built, and was ready for use. The eXpe-
rience of the Federals was very much
the same. The war board had wrestled
with the war problem for about three
years without making much headway.
Finally the whole matter was turned over
to General Grant, who at once began to
use the means to accomplish the result
desired, and it was not long time before
the war was at an end.
These fellows at Washington, holding
daily consultations over their maps, pa
per ships, and incorrect statistics, think,
no doubt, that they are laboring under
grave responsibilities, and they are. But
these responsibilities might, with ad-
vantage, be shifted off on shoulders bet
ter able to bear them-those of the naval
commanders wko have made lifetime
study Of both the scientific and practical
sides of the matter.
Dewey was told to "use his discretion"
only because he was so far away that it
was impracticable to try to give him
hourly instructions. Sampson has been
obliged to lose much valuable time hug
ging cable stations, while he might have
employed himself to greater advantage
blocking the operations of the enemy.
The efforts of the war board at Washing
ton are pretty nearly farce, and about
the most sensible thing that the war
board can hope to do is to select capable
army and naval commanders and tell
them to 'destroy or capture the enemy"

ing. At no time did he ever give his en-
tire time to farming, or allow his opera
tions to interfere with his profession.
More than anything else, he farmed as a
recreation-because he liked it; but he
farmed on large scale. His first under
taking in this direction was in lS49, and it
was continued up to the time of his death.
For miles around he has enjoyed the rep
utation of being the best farmer in his
neighborhood, and that reputation was
continued source of delight. And he
made money out of his farm, too. There
arc few people in this section who can get
larger profits out Of the same Investment
than could DR.. Lindsay.
DR.. Lindsay was raised in the Presby-
terian church, became an active member
in his youth, and has been a ruling elder
in the Yorkvlle congregation since 1861.
The funeral took place from the Pres
byterian church OH Sunday morning at
30 o'clock. The services were conduct
ed by Rev. J. X. Hall, Of Bethesda, as
sisted by DR.. T. h. English, Of Hampden-
Sidney, Va, former pastor of the Pres
byterian church here. DR.. English was a
warm friend and admirer of the deceased ,
and started for Yorkville immediately
upon receiving telegraphic information of
his death. The people of the town turn
ed out to the funeral almost en- masse,
and many prominent people, including
quite number of Presbyterian elders
from different parts of the county, were
present. The active pail bearers were
nearly all physicians, and the honorary
pail bearers included brother elders OF
the Presbyterian church and a number of
older citizens Of Yorkville. Il great con-
course of people followed the remains to
the grave.

OUR GREATEST BATTLESHIP.
Something About the Alabama, Launched
Last Wednesday.

Atlanta Journal.
The Alabama, which was launched
at the Cramp shipyards last Wednes'
day, represents the latest evolution in
battleship construction and will be
more powerful as well as more modern
than any ship now in our fleets.
This mighty ship was authorized by
the act of June 10, 1896, along with
the Illinois and the Wisconsin. The
Alabama has a tonnage Of 1925, or
1,137 tons more than the Indiana and
the Massachusetts. On the water line
she is 36S feet long, her greatest
breadth is 70 feet S inches, and her
mean draught is % feet inches. Her
speed will be 16 knots. Her two tur.
rets will each mount two 13inch
breech-loading rifled guns, and she
will be supplied with the full compile
ment of lesser ordnance.
The main differences between the
Alabama and the Kearsarge and Ken
lucky, which were lanched several
weeks ago, are in the turrets and bat
teries. The Kearsarge and Kentucky
superposed turrets, the S-ineh being
fixed on top of the 13-inch, and turn
ing as part Of them. In the Indiana
class and the Iowa the S-inch turrets
are distinct and placed elsewhere, and
in the Alabama class there are no
S-inch guns at all. The Indiana's main
battery consists of four 13-inch, eight
S.inch and four 6-inch guns the Iowa's
of four 12-inch, eight S-inch and six
4.inch the Kearsarge's of four 19-inch,
four S.inch and IA 5-inch /; the Ala
bama's, of four 13-inch and II 6.inch.
When the Kearsarge's battery was
planned, we had no rapid-fre guns
larger than the 5-inch, but now the
6-inch are of that type, and hence can
be used in the Alabama class. while,
in order not to make these ships over
armed, the four S-inch guns of our
other battleships are omitted.
1t is probable that neither of the
three great battleships which have
been launched recently will be finished
in time to take part in the war with
Spain, but they will add immensely
to our naval strength for long time
to come.
1t has been 35 years since the Ala
bama and the Kearsarge fought their
duel off the coast of France. A few
months hence the new Alabama and
the new Kearsarge will be floating
proudly together under the same flag
and will represent the wonderful ad-
vance in naval construction since the
gallant ships whose name they bear
were in their glory.
