oRk1oRIo soc!ETy's CONCERT


The Lafayette Oratorio Society gave its
second concert of the season last night
in the Lafayette M. e. Church before an
audience that in point of numbers showed
a sad lack of appreciation. Musical clubs
nave a hard road to travel unless they
bear the hall mark of society's approval.
Miss S.. L. Culver, the leader, had pre-
pared a programme of varied-excellence
to which it is a pity there were so few
listeners While admitting the beauty of
the programme, however, one must re-
mark that when a concert does not begin
until between half-past eight and nine,
| number bears a somewhat
strong resemblance 10 sweetness long
drawn out.
The work of the choir is good and shows
| conscientious effort, both by singers and
leader. There were moments of uncer-
tainty and some little u~nevenness, but on
| the whole the choruses deserved the ap-
plause they received. They We're "Damas-
Gus Triumphant March," Costa; Bridal
Chorus from Rose Maiden Cowen /;
1.-The Magic Spring" NJ. Won Weinzerl,
and Nursery Rhymes Quadrille," John
Farmer.
Prof. Primrose was the ~violinist of the
evening. He was on the programme for
ssScene de Ballet" re Beriot, and
"Cavatina," Carl Boehm. In each of
| these selections the player showed artis-
tic perception and execution to so great q
| degree that he was obliged to respond to
a recall.
Two tenor solos by Mr.. William j.
| Machin. who is evidently a prime favor
IA. 1l~ aud locorvo1lv
| encored. They were 1.-THE Adrin Knight
Tully, and 1.-THE Answer" Robvn. Mr..
| Machin sings with force and spirit. He
isn't afraid to hear himself, and he in
spires his hearers with that appreciation
| of the music with which he is himself in
spired.
But nobody can deny hat the artists
of the evening were the Misses Walker
| and Miss Groebl, who comprise the st.
Cecilia Trio. Their singing was delight
ful. So perfectly did their voices blend
that the music seemed the result not of
three voices, but of one voice of compos-
tie quality. They ave THE Wheat
| Field" Hallin; Lullaby" Edward J.
| Groebl; sIf but a Small Bird" Haller,
and two songs by Harry Smart, Might
Sinks on the Wave" and Down in the
Dewy Dell" The duet. by the Misses
| Walker, 81 Shut the Children's Peppers"
(Sandman), Humperdinck, was simply
perfect. This opens with a soprano solo
which afforded Miss Charlotte Walker
| opportunities of displaying the natural
beauties of her voice, and the acquired
beauties of her training. One may be
pardoned for commenting on her grac-
ious manner and the charming smiles
with which she rewards the appreciation
which the excellence of her performance
compels. Her personality matches her
voice.
The accompanies were Mr.. E.. J. Groebi
for the trio and Mr.. Lester H. Lewis
for the chorus.

FOR A DAYS FRESH AIR
Kings Daughters Give EntartaiR-

For the last four summers Whittier
House has sent into the country the little
people who come to its kindergarten, its
clubs, or it's classes, and indeed all who
could be found needing fresh air and to
whom even a days outing might have a
blessing. There are many children who
cannot profit by the regular fresh air
funds, either because they are too small
OR because they can be away only on
some legal holiday; boys and girls earn
ing a small ~pittance, but helping in the
support of their families, oftentimes the
burden bearers of their homes. For such
as these Whittier House provides, also
for the mothers, who can afford but one
day off. Last summer Whittier House
sent out for the day over five hundred
and already the inquiries are being made:
"When are we to AVE one day in the
country?"
Knowing of this work, the Working
Ten, Kings Daughters, ave kindly of
fered to help by sharing with the Whit
tier House fresh air fund the profits
which they hope to make from their re-
cital and musical at Phillips Hall to-
morrow night.
his CIRCLE is dllOildi. INcdI-
izing that Whittier House is interdenomi-
national and that its means are slight.
the circle has magnanimously come to its
relief. Even one day lived in the coun-
try among the flowers on the grass, or
under the trees, can gladden. a weary
year and fill the heart with pure and
sacred memories.
The entertainment which the. Kings
Daughters offer is excellent. Miss Ida K.
Kinds, who is well known in New York
for her charming poses and recitations,
will be the principal attraction. She will
give, among other recitations, The Fee

Boston" and a scene from Hamlet. She

she calls From Here and Everywhere

uhEEDA's GREAT SUCCESS.
Wonderful Result OF Shrewdly Plan
ned Newspaper Advertising.


One of the most remarkable and quick
est of returns from advertising is af-
forded in the case of the Uneeda Biscuit
manufactured by the National Biscuit
| Company, the advertising of which was
in the hands of N. w. Aver & Son, Of
Philadelphia.
Early last fall the manufacturers ar
ranged with Aver & Son to place about
$685. eco in advertising, it being stipulated
that publicity should not begin until the
new year. TINS was done in order that
the agency m light have ample time for
preparing the advertising matter, as well
as to place ju~dieiously the same, and also
to enable the manufacturers to get ready
to fill orders.
The first advertisements covering
| Chicago and the Northwest appeared
January 8. The first advertisements APP
peared in New York papers March 6. IN
this incredibly short time orders for the
biscuits have come in so rapidly that ten
lays ago the company was behind 4s0,000
| packages on its New York business alone.
The company has been compelled to tenn
| p~orarily suspend its advertising and to re-
fuse positively to take any business out
| S e of the advertised territory until after
| it gets up with its work.
Reasons for this extraordinary result
may be seen in part. In the first place
the biscuit was better than other goods
selling for the same money. 1t is put up
in an attractive and unique alright
package. Good goods are a prerequisite
! to success of this kind.
Then Aver & Son did their part of the
work admirably. They selected news
papers which their past experience told
them would be likely to bring good re-
suits. Ordinarily plays upon words are
not found profitable in advertising, but
.'Uneeda', broke this rule all to pieces.
Large space was taken and few words
were employed. The type was plain and
| easily read. The effect was immediate.
In addition to e~wspape posters and
billboards were employed. but the words
upon them were duplicates of those con-
| tanned in the newspaper advertising.
The success of the work is something
epochal in advertising. 1t has been con,
ceded that large results come only or
/ time and persistence. In this case there
was no waiting and the results nave been
Overwhelming in their magnitude.-News-
paper Maker, April 6, 1889.

Elizabeth Riparian Boom.

Elizabeth just now is rejoicing in the
minus. Her enthusiastic citizens argue
that the Hudson River front is crowded,
that railroad business is so constantly in
creasing that the roads are obliged to
seek more extended terminal facilities
and that the XIII Won Ku1 and the New
ark Bay fronts of Elizabeth are more
advantageous than either Staten Island
or New York. From this and the fact
that the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey has begun to construct a freight ter
minal at Elizabethport. good citizens of
the leafy town have become excited over
the outlook and they are much pulled up
with pride.
It is to be hoped that their dreams
will come true, but the Elizabethians
might do well to come down out of the
clouds and profit by the great error which
Jersey City made years ago when the
same vista of municipal greatness opened
out before her. Elizabeth should get
control of her water front and not
let the railroads gobble it all up as Jer-
sey City did. Then, when she wants to
carry her streets down to the waters
edge and build some piers for herself, she
viii not be confronted by a high board
fence across her thoroughfares, with a
sign, Private property; no trespassing."

NEWARK, May II, 1S99.-The circum-
stances of an assault which James Mon
ahan, an engineer at Tinany's factory. in
Forest Hill says was committed upon
him by a Jersey City policeman named
Green, We're laid before the Police Com
m~issioners Of that city yesterday by JUS
tice La Faucherie, Of Belleville. The al
legged trouble arose over M~onahan's unex-
pected meeting with a former workman
named Connolly, with whom he had not
been on friendly terms.
Three years ago Monahan and Connolly
worked together in the boiler room of the
Eagle Iron Works, at Communipaw. Con-
nelly, according to Monahan's story, ac-
cused him of informing upon the other
worknep to the superintendent, ana
threatened to dc him bodily injury. Some
time afterward Monahan left the works
and found employment at Forest Hill.
On Wednesday, May 9, Monahan went to
New York to visit some friends Upon
reaching Jersey City upon his return he
boarded a trolley car for Newark, as he
thought. After he had ridden several
blocks he discovered he had taken the
wrong car and got off. On the corner
stood the policeman and Connolly.
According to Monahan's story, he greet
| ed Connolly good-naturedly, and the lat
ter replied, "oh, you're the fellow | was
| going to do, amt your Monahan said
he was, and Connolly, it is alleged. de-
clared that he guessed he would do it
then. With that, Monahan says, the Pc
liceman struck him and knocked him
down. When he got UP, he declares, the
officer seized him by the collar and drag
ged him to the nearest police box. He
aid net ring up the station, however, but
finally released his prisoner.
Monahan says he went TO the nearest
police station and made a complaint. He
received no satisfaction and then appealed
to Justice La Faucherie.

BISHOP srARKEY's confidence in tn

BISHOP STARKEY'S confidence in the
future of our new career as an empire,
with foreign dependencies, is patriotic,
but perhaps a trife rash. History,
whether our own or that of other coun-
tries, is not very encouraging. In al
most every other case colonization and
conquest has been the beginning of decay
and downfall. England is, so far, the
only exception-if she is an exception. AS
for u own record, we would seem to
have shown a special ~incapacity for deal
ing successfully or even fairly with sub
ject races. The story of our rule over
the Indian tribes and our management
of the negro problem afford cause for
infinite misgivings as to the future
Filipino and Hawaiian problems which
will embarrass our craftsmanship for the
next hundred years.
