BABY BLIZZARD LAST NIGHT.

Clear Weather Promised for To-Day.
The small blizzard which howled
through the streets last night whirling
gusts of snow and piling up the flakes
In handy places for drifts caused the To-
cal street railway companies to get out
their power sweepers. These were run
over the lines at intervals to keep the
track open for traffic, and gangs of
men were kept busy at sweeping and
shoveling at points along the line where
the drifting is usually the worst None
of the cars had been delayed at J.
o'clock this morning. The snow was
light and could be easily cleaned off.
The drifting was worst out on the Mt.
Carmel line but even there 1t is not
probable that cars will be delayed much
this morning.
The indications, according to the
weather reports, are that there will be
clear weather to-day. But there is
possibility that heavy rains south may
reach this locality and turn to snow.

Higher Artistic Music.

To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
Have you heard the story of young
man whose voice was fine and his higher
artistic powers developed?
In an obscure vale dwelt some old
monks. With age their voices became
thin and worn. At mass and vespers
even the birds flew far away and would
not listen. Something must be changed,
said the monks. The best and freshest
ought to be consecrated to our Creator.
At even tide vespers We're sung by the
young man. The monks were charmed.
At midnight an angel whisper was
heard asking why the Magnificent reach
ed not the listening ear of God. With
surprise the monks replied that it was
never sung so perfectly. The young
man answered: ''Alas my heart was
not humble 1 only sang for praise"
The cracked voices Of the monks were
again heard in song, and the angel came
no more.
OF course this is only legend, but
what a world of meaning is suggested.
During the church congress in our city,
when Canon Farrar was an honored
guest, how the common tunes rendered
by the vast congregation touched the
heart How the song influence was felt
when Moody and Sankey tarried here.
How the mission influence would droop
If the common songs were not in evil
dence. Fragrant is the memory of SUM-
day music in our early days, and no
artistic culture can quite take the place
of old time melodies. Everyday people
love everyday hymns. Henry Ward
Beecher once said. God must love COM
mon people, as he created so many of
them. Higher artistic culture has it's
place, and grand place it is. The gift
of song, and the appreciation of music
is one of the noblest of all talents. 1t
seems to the writer, that the most mu-
steal neone often have the most musical
drawls in their church choirs. While in
Germany the only church music that
seemed worth the name was in the
Dome Kirche. The same tune seemed
to be sung in all others Every person
drawled and drawled. The birds flew in
at the roof ventliators, and chirped
This was years ago, and times change.
The memory of music fingers in the
Fatherland. The grey-headed must
clans at anniversaries give receptions.
They perform on childish instruments,
and render most exquisite melody on
whistles, Jews harps. etc.
The refining influence of music can
never be overestinated. 1t cheers and
comforts the care-worn. 1t whispers of
that better land, where we all hope to
become members of that celestial choir,
the numbers of which no man can

SEWERAGE REFORM.

We have had occasion now and then
| to comment upon and to commend the
action of the Connecticut courts in
awarding damages to persons who
complained that their use of brooks and
rivers had been prevented or impaired
by the pollution of those streams with
sewage. Sentences have been passed,
If we remember correctly, upon several
individuals or corporations. and upon
at least one municipality, for such pol
| luton, and various other concerns and
places have been impelled to mend their
ways. All this was, as we have hitherto
said, exceedingly gratifying. We be-
| lieve that similar spirit of self-defence
| on the part of aggrieved persons the
| land over would work veritable revo-
| luton in behalf of health and cleanli-
ness
| But Connecticut has not been content
with that. A state commission was APP
| pointed to investigate the subject and
report thereon. 1t has done go and it's
report IS instructive and suggestive. 1t
states that all the towns and cities of
the state which have sewer systems ex-
cepting four or five discharge their sew
age into running streams or tidal har-
bors. The results are that the water is
contaminated, the health of the people
is endangered, fish are destroyed, ice is
made unfit for use, streams are made
unsightly, and serious loss is inflicted
upon the owners of riparian lands All
that was known pretty well before. 1t
has been urged by the Tribune for
years, in season and out of season. 1t
is, however, gratifying to have it for
m 11y nd in dofoi1 Of od hy ial
authority.
The commission does more than mere
ly to report. 1t makes recommended
tons One Of these Is that the pouring
of foul sewage into streams be absolutely
forbidden by law, and another is that all
cities and towns be similarly compelled
to purify their sewage, in accordance
with state rules and to a state standard.
Those are both perfectly reasonable and
sound. and 1t is to be hoped they will
speedily be enacted into law. Then. we
have no doubt. the law will be enforced
as what is now an abominable nuisance
will be abated
The same evils exist elsewhere They
are due to the same causes. They ought
to be dealt with in the same way. The
same law that governs Pipers Brook
should be applied to the Passaic river
and to every river and brook in the
land. There is no more precious gift of
nature than pure water 1T is album
dainty given in this part of the world in
springs and streams. 1t is intolerabla
that men should defle and destroy it
simply through laziness OF shiftlessness,
or through pecuniary meanness. Every
community and every individual estab-
lishment should be compelled to dispose
of its unclean refuse in a manner not
injurious to its neighbors Connecticut
is proceeding on exactly the right lines
1t would be a blessed good thing if eve
ry other state in the Union would follow
her example.--New York Tribune.

MUSIC OF GOUNOD.
Splendid Programme Rendered by st.
Paul's Church Choir.


Notwithstanding the storm of last
night st. Paul's church was filled by an
audience who heard a splendid rendi-
ton Of various selections from the
works of Gounod. The event was the
second of a series of musical evenings
to be given by the choir. Be
sides the musical numbers the
rector Of the church, the Rev DR.. e. S.
lines, delivered a most interesting and
Impressive account Of the life of Gou-
nod. He traced the life of the great
genius from his early boyhood until his
death, which occurred in 1893. The
speaker told Of the many difficulties
with which he had to contend in his
early life, and of the devotion of his
mother. He considered that her inf1u-
ence had much to do with his being a
musicion instead of q painter, as some
desired. His mother was extremely
musical, and it was from her that Gou-
nod received the early training in the
art in which he afterward became so
famous. At the age Of twenty-one he
won the great prize at Rome, which en-
titled him to three years study in
Rome. This period Of his life spent in
Rome had much to do with the trend
of his later compositions He wrote
many operas and they Were more OF
less successful Probably his greatest
religious work was the Redemption"
MANY hymns, which are now used in
the churches, were composed by Gou-
nod.
The soloists last evening were Mrs.
Nora Russell Haesche, DR.. Greene and
Fred Weld. Their work was excellent.
Prof F.. A. Fowler was at the organ.
