THE NATIONAL sAENGERFEsT.
The Opening Concert of the Colder
49, Jubilee.


Cincinnati, June 29.-There was no fur
ther delay in connection with the opening
concert of the Golden Jubilee of the Ma
tional Saengerfest. and promptly at 6:4o
this evening the doors swung open. Even
at that early hour, two hours before the
concert would begin. a great throng of
singers, their friends, and others inter
ested began TO file into the great structure
erected especially for the occasion. The
capacity of the building for seating is a.
0o0 and not less than 10000 persons were
present when the concert bsgan. Although
evidences were not entirely lacking of the
desperate haste with which both the ex-
terror and interior had been completed,
the great audience was all seated and in
reasonable comfort. The postponement of
the opening from yesterday was not for
gotten, however, by the visitors to the
city, as they were at pains to declare to
any listening ear. The formal demand was
made today by the Saengerfest manage
ment of the contractors that there be no
further delay. The performances tonight
were declared success on every hand.
The programme rendered was as follows:

An object Lesson for Chicago.

Should Chicago decide to send an investi-
eating committee beyond the extensive city
limits to find out about the merits of the
underground electric system provision
might also be made to permit the commit
tee to pick up few items concerning the
overhead system in its actual operation.
For instance the investigators might travel
to Hoboken, N j.. and learn the facts of
the death of Mrs. Mary Pyle. She was rid
ing on a trolley car in Gutenberg the other
day. it seems when one of the trolley wires
of the line broke. According to the asser-
lions of the advocates of the overhead sys-
tenn such a trif1ing accident would cause
no danger to anybody. In fact, the shock
which it might chance to give would be
stimulating rather than otherwise. OF
course the breaking of trolley wire is to
be regarded from this point of view, as a
most extraordinary occurrence, almost
without parallel in the history of electric
traction. Nevertheless the wire did break
and in its twisting it came in contact with
Mrs. Pyle's body and she was shocked so
badly that she died a little later In the
hospital She may have died of heart dis
ease, being frightened by the writings of
the wire. or of sunstroke, superinduced by
the rapid motion of the car or other natu-
raj causes. But the lay mind will have diff
ficulty in avoiding the sequence of cause
and effect in this connection Now, it 10

Porto RicO's Low Crime Rate.

In taking account of the new possess
sions acquired by this country az a result
of the war with Spain due consideration
must be given to the long-continued condi-
tons of repression and decentralization I'M
der which they suffered while awaiting
their emancipe ton from the tyrannical
rule of the Spaniard. Much can be allowed
to people who have endured the grind of a
constituencies oppressor for centuries and
who now reach the threshold of individual
ism. Notwithstanding the causes which
might have led to degeneracy in Porto
Rico. the people of that island present to-
day numerous traits which deserve Ameri-
can admiration. Travellers have told many
tales of the rare promise of pacific prosper
ity there, of the willingness of the natives
to learn American ways, of their zeal in as
Stunning the role of subjects of the United
States. The newspapers from the Porto
Rican capital tell of the rapid growth of
the fund which is being raised to provide
a rousing Fourth of July celebration in
token of the new era and of the deep in
terest which the people take in the ap-
preaching ceremonial They bear testi-
mony. too. TO the good character of the in
habitants. The San Juan News notes the
fact in a late issue that Manuel Algarin
has been senterced to death by the garrote
at Ponce for the murder of his father. 1t
adds that the last previous execution at
Ponce took place ten years ago, and that
the last previous execution in the entire
island occurred at San Juan. when SOL
dier-presumably Spanish-was garroted for
killing a sergeant who had slapped his
face. Few American communities of the
size of Porto Rico can boast of so clean a
record. 1t is. of course, not 10 be believ I'd
that there have been fewer minor crimes
than are to be expected In a considerable
assemblage of people. But colony which
can endure for five years without requiring
the application of the extreme penalty is
entitled to congratulation. especially in
view of the unfortunate environment which
has surrounded it.

ProgreSS in Divorce Reform.

A few weeks ago a New York So
Getty woman was divorced from her
husband on the latter's application and.
despite the injunction of the New York
law against the re-marriage OF the
guilty party TO a divorce, during the
same day the woman was married in Con-
necticut to a man prominent in social and
political circles in the metropolis The case
was discussed widely as demonstrating the

Commencement Day.

Beaming with bushes sweet with smiles.
All witching with unstudied wiles,
Again the vision shines and fades,
a sunbeam caught in evening shades.
An oracle so sweet of voice
That skeptics kneel-they have no choice
Revering all she has to say.
The lass who quits the school TODAY.
Upon the threshold there she stands,
With mind well stored and cunning hands
The great world waits; she cannot stay.
She leaves her school behind today.
Yet $50 their sayings ever rum
Life's lessons now are just begun
The books are but little part,
Stern tasks are waiting head and heart.
Poor dingy school! How bare your walls,
Where holloway the echo calls
To bid the wanderer softly tread.
Since she 50 wise. 50 fair, has fled,
The listless sunlight makes no more
Her Silhouette upon the floor.
All, lucky world! Since now you find
Such treasure, guard it and be kind.

Improving the Potomac.

1t is gratifying that an adjustment has
been effected in the matter of appOrtioning
the appropriations for the Improvement of
the Potomac river which will result in be
slowing d maximum of benefit upon all the
interests involved. There is no local desire
that the funds be segregated solely 10 the
project of dredging the channels immedi-
ately at or near the city. 1t Is obvious
that while improvements in the strictly
local area are necessary, the Potomac chan
nels below the city must be kept clear and
enlarged to make the deepened hdrbor and
channels at this end available The various
features of the whole project stand together
as a single endeavor for the betterment of
the capital and its approaches.
The citizens of Alexandria have shown a
commendable desire 10 secure as large
portion as possible of the appropriations for
the lower Potomac improvements. In their
first conception of the matter it appears
that they misunderstood the precise situa-
ton but they have apparently been per-
suaded that there is no intention on the
part Of the officials to disregard the re-
quiremepts of their end of the line while
attending to the needs of the Washington
harbor in accordance with the act of Con-
gress-
The chief misfortune at present is that
the conferees on the river and harhor bill
saw fit in the closing hours of the session
to strike out the provision for the improve
ment of the Anacostia, which had been in
serted by the Senate. That undertaking is
virtually as important and. from hygienie
point of view. quite as necessary as the
reclamation IF the Potomac flats and the
deepening of the channels west of the city.
1t is confidently expected that Congress
will very soon. perhaps at the next session,
recognize this truth and make the long
delayed start on this vitality essential UNI
dertaking.
The three main features of the local river
and harbor improvements are the restora
ton of the Washington harbor and cham
neis. the dredging of the Anacostia and the
preservation and deepening of the channels
below the city. They all bear direct rela
ton to the desire to preserve the Potomac
as a practicable, healthful waterway clear
10 the head of navigation. There need be
no fear that all the interests involved will
not work tremendously to the end that the
largest possible funds may be secured or
that the engineer officers in charge will
not at all times make equitable distribu
tiOn of the allotments and plan the most
effective and economical projects to carry
out these important improvements.

Good Work of the Press,
From the St. Joseph MOL News

iIoin ihe 81 Joseph lho.) News.
The Washington Star calls attention to
the advantages of the fierce light of pub
lfclty which nowadays is cast in every di-
rection by the daily press. 1t notes that
the kidnapped child of Mr. and Mrs Clark
in New York last week was recovered from
the thieves and restored to its parents
through the tremendous cry raised by the
public press and the thorough distribution
of the description of the little one Il notes
also with truth that Dreyfus, the French
army captain, who was released the other
day from his prison cage, where like a
wild beast he had been confined by liars
and scoundrels of the French army owes
his liberty today to the influence of the
newspaper publicity 1t was the hue and
cry raised by the newspapers, and the ter
ribie berating that they bestowed upon the
corrupt government and army, that rescued
this man. While many people are ready
to see the faults of the newspaper, let them
note the vast good that 1t is doing today
in every direction The time was when
mems errors were sought to be checked by
persecution. The better plan is that of the
nineteenth century-let in the light. let
everybody look, let everybody discuss and
common sense and good judgment will at
last beat its way to control. AS The Star
says, absolute injustice cannot long sur
vive the exposures that are certain to re-
suit from the activities of the newspaper
press.

In mis- address to the graduating class at
Cornell University on Tuesday Gov. Roose-
| welt dWeit on topic which he thoroughly
understands and to the Importance of
which his own character and achievements
| give emphasis. He spoke of the educated
mans duty to the public, and he advised
| the young men to take an active interest
| IN politics and to serve the state. Above
all things he urged them not to ally them
selves with the dilettanti who spend their
time bewailing the shortcomings of Ameri-
Can institutions instead of graphing with
the evils they deplore and assisting in their
eradication
This note cannot too often be sounded.
and 1t is never so resonant effective as
when sounded by a man like Theodore
Roosevelt. He does not offer himself for
| illustration but nevertheless he is the fit
test possible illustration not only of what
young man of education and position
should do toward making himself useful to
the public but of the wholesome and graft
flying rewards that wait upon his labors.
He was called upon TO make the very
| choice which he now advises With his
| ample means, he might have sided with the
gilded Ioafers and pleasure-seekers and
taken front rank with them. But he chose
the side of labor and duty. and in vigorous
middle life has an assured place among the
foremost men in the land.
Rewards such as his are of course not
common. Neither are such men. But every
young man of education and means and
position may promise himself a greater de-
gree of success in whatever field he may
enter by attending with scrupulous care
and even with enthusiasm, to the ev-
eryday duties of citizenship. The larger
his opportunity and capacity the great
er his responsibility. If he sides with
the idlers, he swelIs the ranks of
those who in a free country are even
more Objectionable than tramps: while if
he gives of both his means and his time TO
the betterment of the country he helps
both himself and others.
II men of the stamp of Theodore Roose-
welt could tour the country at commence
ment time and give the young men who are
just entering upon their duties as citizens
such advice as the graduating class at Cor
nell has just heard the public would benefit
