Franz Kneisel, the founder and
leader of the Kneisel quartet, is young
man still, being about "a years of age.
His open, amiable, Teutenc eounte-
nance and stocky build are too fami-
liar TO Worcester audiences to require
description. for each September brings
him here with the Boston symphony
orchestra, of which superb organization
he is concei'i master.
The Kneisel quartet concert Friday
night in horticultural hall is the first
music of Importance this season since
the festival and it will undoubtedly
draw a large audience. Indeed, the
large sale of tickets has been a deter
mining factor IN the change from Me-
mortal hail. where 1t was first planned
to hold the concert, to horticultural
hall.
Frank Kneisel and his three associates
in the quartet would be greatly aston

protectionists and silence on the tariff
Is therefore the dictate of political ne
cessity.
But behind and beyond all this, Mr..
Bryan recognizes the fact that under
the Mckinley tariff nearly $500, 900, 900
worth of American manufactures were
sold abroad last year in successful COM
petition with our foreign rivals in their
own markets. Under the Dingley-Mc-
Kinley tariff the industrial interests of
the country have met with greater
prosperity than in the entire quarter of
a century preceding.
1t must be sad spectacle to the old
rank and file of the democracy to wit
ness the abandonment of their cardinal
doctrine, fidelity to which has given
to the party the only national successes
1t has won since the war If it means
the sacrifice of principle it must GER
tainly weaken the party throughout the
country. If it means the recognition of
the fact that the tariff principle is cor
rect, it will be matter of pleasing
congratulation to the republicans
everywhere.

OUT AND ABOUT.

Piedmont chapel held good-sized
audience yesterday evening when, un-
der the auspices Of the McAll auxiliary,
Rev. S. A. Harlow lectured on THE
tragic and pathetic scenes in the Drey-
fus affair" At the close a contribution
was taken in aid of the McAll mission
in France.
The affair Dreyfus is a tremendous
story, and Mr.. Harlow told it well. fol-
lowing up all its tiniest rami6cations,
seeking out cause and effect and put
ting them together, and giving a lucid,
powerful presentation of the dramatis
personae of the trials and of the mo-
tives actuating What he told in the
beginning of the general causes that
led up to the accusation of Dreyfus
was deeply interesting. There are,
he said, about $4,000 Jews in France
in a population of from 30 to 81 mill
lions. The Jews are mere drop in the
bucket, but they have always been
most loyal to France, remembering
that she was the first nation to give
them civil liberty, having done so 40
years before England. The anti
Semitic feeling in France is only 10 or
20 years old. Just what kindled 1t | do
not know. 1t may be reflection from
the entente cordiale between Russia
and France Russia having long enter
tanned passionate hatred Of the Jew.
There are in France two great mil
itary schools, which are open to all re-
ligious beliefs and draw largely. from
the preparatory schools. These pre-
paratory schools are taught quite ex-
tensively by Jesuits and Dominlcans.
Of late years a very Dltter Ieellhg
against the Hebrew has been noted
these schools.
The press has been another agent in
the affair In 1892 there appeared IN
the Libre Parole, Partisan paper with
an enormous circulation, series OF
most scurrilous articles against Jews.
Three duels between young Jewish DILL
GERS and Frenchmen resulted The
young French Roman Catholic roue,
who in the third duel killed his Jewish
antagonist. remarked: We shall have
a civil war" and the Libre Parole
commented: I'VE want Jewish car
cass" 1t was the same roue, mar
quis, who, two years afterward, first
suggested that the handwriting of the
bordereau was that of Dreyfus. In
such an atmosphere it was easy to
manufacture testimony against Drey-
fus.''
The new woman is apt to be an old
girl.

Apropos of the lecture which Mrs.
Margaret Deland is to give tomorrow
evening at the Church Of the Unity, UNI
der the auspices of the Lend-a-H Hand
Club, the following item from The
Critic is Of interest.
Mrs. Deland is of Scottish ancestry
on her fathers side of the family, and
as lineal descendant of John F.
Gaunt, may be said to have sprung
from the house of Lancaster There
is about her something of the freedom
and indomitable strength of the High
lands-a look in the clear blue eye, a
warmth of eoloring, cut of features,
and, above all, a certain unruly as
sertiveness of stray locks of hair-that
awakens memories of the heather and
of the wind uDon the hills, coming
heavily laden with the odor of peat,
and fresh from its contact with some
neighboring loch And, again, there
are moments when other and quite diff
ferent pictures suggest themselves as
the outcome of still more subtle re-
lation to the fragrant treasures of her
garden-the delicate mignonette, the
open-hearted June rose, with just a
lcuCH u passion III us VEINS TO make IL
kin with all the world, and the sensi-
tive convoloulus, lifting its face heav-
onward to greet the light but robbed

One of the most noticeable features of
Mr.. Bryan's speeches just now is the
absence of any reference to tariff re-
FORM This is significant of the changed
condition of the democratic leadership.
In that camp it is an abandoned issue.
The traditional principle or policy of
the democratic party was that Of a
low tariff. Both Tilden and Cleveland
were nominated on that platform. And
yet the democratic platform in Ne
braska, Mr. Bryan's home contains not
one word about the tariff, and Mr..
Bryan studiously avoids the subject in
his speeches. 1t is due in a great meas
ure, Of course, to the fact that the
free-silver republicans in the west with
whom the democrats are allied, are high

The celebrity of railroad construction
in this country is getting to be one of
the wonders of the age. In Readville
on Sunday, seven and one-fourth miles
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Companys 100
pound rails were laid in the Incredibly
short time Of five hours. The work
was timed so that it did not delay the
regular traffic, which is heavy at that
point, in the least In putting down
the new rails the entire electrical ar
rangement of switches and signals was
broken and it's re-establishment was
accomplished on even time with the
contract work.

A Chicago theatre audience had an
opportunity to witness a realistic Ere
drama Sunday night. Fire broke out
in the Columbia theater during the per-
formance Of His Excellency, the Gov
ernor." Instead of getting excited and
killing each other in scramble for the
exits, the audience, inspired by the cool
ness of the theatre staff, kept their
seats, and when the rubber-booted fire
men walked upon the stage applauded
them as if they had been part of the
performance. Later, the spectators
were quietly removed.

from the door, with bow of satin rib
