MUSICAL NOTES.

Several musical events of more than
ordinary interest and merit have &C.
Cured within the past week, and they
deserve special comment.
The most important of these was the
organ recital at Christ church on Mon
day night by J. Wallace Goodrich. Mr.
Goodrich is We'll known as one of Bos
toms best organists He is a frequent
contributor TO the Musical Record and
10 d member Of the faculty of the New
England Ccusei vatory. Mr. Goodrich
is pupil of the famous French organ
list and composer. Widor, and is thor
ough and wel-equipped musician. His
playing was greatly enjoyed by very
appreciative audience, and grateful
thanks are due the Rev. Mr.. Morgan
and Professor H. w. Parker, through
whose efforts Mr.. Goodrich came here.
On Saturday, the 9Th, Rudolph Stein
ert gave pianola recital at Steinerts
hall, which gave considerable pleasure
to go1d-sized audience. The pianola
Is marvelously clever invention and
the performance on 1t of certain styles
of piano music is wholly delightful.
Mr.. Steinert has become a skilled ma
nipulator' and is able to get great
deal of color and shading from the de-
vice. Mr.. Steinert also played on the
orchestrelle, which reproduces orehes-
trail effects in very satisfactory way.
Mrs. Haesche contributed to the pleas
ure of the recital by her singing Of two
songs. Mr.. Steinert played the accom-
on the orchestrelle. These
recitals will occur regularly every two
weeks, and some well-known singer
will assist each time.
On Tuesday morning Miss Anna Cora
Robbins gave song recital at Harmo-
ME hall. Miss Robbins has studied in
Dresden and Paris with teachers of
reputation, and has prepared herself
for concert singing and teaching. She
has voice of agreeable quality and
she has musical intelligence and ought
to be successful. Miss Robbins pro-
yramme was made up of American
and French songs. She was assisted
by Miss Gallagher, harpist, Miss
Churchill. violinist, and Mr.. Manvile,
accompanist, The affair was under the
of Mrs. Elliott H. Morse

Jams Is the best possible man for the
enor.

NUNS WHO WORK AT THE FORGE
IN CAPE COLONY,

In South Africa Is band of nuns
who not only pass their lives In rei-
giuus devotion, but have adopted the
role of new women in strange char
acter. Eager to SOW the seeds Of rell-
gion in South Africa, they turned their
backs on the time-honored converts Of
Europe and established themselves un-
der the name of the Sisters Of st. DOM
linc near King Williams Town, Cape
Colony.
But IN the new country where the
nuns set up their llabitation the Boer
neighbors looked upon their work with
suspicion and resentment, and even the
English looked with disfavor upon the
convent The consequence was that the
sisters bought an extensive farm, and,
finding that farm laborers We're scarce
III land where most OF the digging was
for gold and diamonds, solely as a
means of se!f-support the nuns put their
hands to the plough. But accidents
will happen, even In a convent, and In
time the ploughshare became broken.
There being no, blacksmith in that re-
gion. the nuns sent to Cape Town and
got the materials to build and the tools
ard implements to supply smithy. A
blacksmith ae tutor was found and
the nuns learned how to become black
smiths. They have thus far proved
not only their equality with man, but
their superiority to him, for when the
disregarding his religious
environment, went on Il prolonged
spree, the nuns speedily forced him out
Of the settlement and determined hence
forth to do all their own work,
But the nuns went oven further.
They found that blacksnithing among
the Boer and English residents was
profitable work, and they built
snthy, with brick forge, strong, ca
pa cious bellows of oxllide, and all the
customary paraphernalia incidental to
the vocation Of the votaries Of Vulcan.
ard established themselves as a convent
Of female blacksmlths.
The feminine blacksmiths of the
Dominican convent are experts The
presence of the hammer swinging MINIS
seems to exercise sort of fascination
over the rest of the neighborhood. for
they will go out of their way on their
daily tasks to gaze at the hard-workfylg
sisters of the smithy.
At close range the most striking eff
feet in the appearance of a sister of ST.
Dominic, as seen in South Africa, is her
'osy, tanned face, SO different from the
Dloodless, white complexion of the nun
inder ordinary conditions.

who coached the eleven SO successfully
during the season Just ended. After a
supper of unusual dimensions, during
which the youthful warriors very sue
cessfully bucked the center of a huge
turkey and other good things, for sew
eral downs the tables were cleared and
the evening given up to speechmaking
and congratulations. No speeches We're
made though, until the splendid loving
cup, won by the school, had been filled
with lemonade and passed among the
players and others present and long,
deep draught had been taken by all.
Then with Principal Lambert acting as
POSTMASTER several good speeches We're
made.
DR.. Lambert in a rather lengthy adj
dress congratulated the young players
one by one and commented on the good
playing of each during the season AT
the close of his remarks Coach Lee was
presented with purse consisting of
$3.50 in gold by Principal Lambert,
who explained that it was a slight tok-
en- Of the esteem in which the boys held
Mr.. Lee. DR.. Lambert thanked him on
their behalf for the good results he had
attained. Mr.. Lee responded appro-
priately and thanked them for the gift.
He said he thought he would be able
to coach them again next year, and ex-
pressed the hope that they would again
turn out a winning team.
Later in the evening the team voted
on captain for next years eleven
Stephen Gallagher, this years captain,
and William Hackett, left end on the
eleven, were the candidates. Gallagher
was elected by small majority. Henry
Close was elected manager.
The boys left for home shortly be-
fore II o'clock. Just before their de-
parture each one of those who played
in the championship games was pre-
scented with a silver medal by DIR. Lam
bert. The medal is very handsome
one, bearing the words Champion"
on the cross bar, and Day School
Football Eleven, 1899" on the pendant.

The Verdict ConGe in the House of
Jewish Hatred-Not the nd of the Case.
NEW YORK, September ia dispatch
to the Herald from st. Petersburg says:
The Viedonosti comments as follows on
the Dreyfus verdict:
THE policy of this journal in regard to
the Dreyfus case has been absolutely i'm
partial, if not indulgent. We regard this
struggle of hate this nightmare, as a
great calamity for France. Many details
of the Rennes trial have evoked doubts
here as to the liberty of the verdict, the
exalted stations of certain witnesses in
fiuencing the judges. The unloosening of
brutal anarchistic passions against the
Jews under the pretext of defining the
ideas of justice, true patriotism and the
honor of the army causes a profound
loathing among those who aspire to see the
dawn of the triumph of humanitarian
ideas and higher order of things, and to
transform the social and political world
of Old Europe"
The Novosti says:
"Dreyfus has been condemned at Rennes
on the question of the bordereau which the
Court of Cessation attributed to Esterhazy
This conflict Of judgments will be appre-
ciated on its merits by the whole universe.
Against Dreyfus there was adduced no
fact, no compromising allusion. The pro-
ceedings have been conducted by Generals
MERCER and Roget. The court having adj
mitted the foreign adventurer, Cernuschi,
refused the testimony of Coils. Schwartz
koppen and Panizzardi, who have irrefut-
able proofs as to the real traitor Ger
many's official explanation, taken in con-
nection with the vaporings of Gen. MERCER
and Gen. Roget. effectually disposes of
them to the impartial minded who are
seeking only light, truth and justice in
the name of humanity. The Rennes YER
dict is not the closing scene of the trag-
edy Dreyfus's innocence is demonstrated
by the proceedings. No verdict will alter
this fact. We are persuaded that Drey-
fuss innocence will be proclaimed in
France one day Officially"

Mcclellan, which left here on the 24th

the committee for the supplies sent,
says:
The fruit and most of the food crops
OF the island are totally destroyed.
If my conclusions as TO the extent
of the destruction OF food supplies be
correct. the stress of hunger will be an
increasing one from this forward for
many weeks and we must prepare to
feed not less than a quarter of a mill
ion people, before the earth can bring
forth fresh supplies.
THE expense of getting the food to
the hungry viii be approximately about
S per cent. Of the cost of the food This
cost cannot be much less than a million
and a half dollars, even if the diet be
as proposed, rice, beans and Goldfish
or bacon. Can we get that sum? And
If we can. will your committee be able
