Lovett's Boston Stars.

a newspaper is commonly supposed
to reflect public opinion, and we had
thought to fill this part of our mission
in this issue by giving picture Of the
Boston Star entertainment last Mon
day night. But, alas! we are in the
midst of confusion worse cOnfounded"
Public opinion is tickle and also a
frisky thing, and will not often stand
still long enough to be taken. Tastes
differ. In some cases there is not even
taste. Our interviews with patrons Of
the concert reveals forty-nine distinct
opinions as to its merits or demerits,
and we have only heard from two pre-
cincts out of twenty Some say the
Stars fell" below last years general
orbit; some that the fiddling was fine,
but impersonating no good or at most
just commonplace. Others thought it
would have been better with fewer
"chestnuts" in it. And still others are
found who make no comparisons or
criticisms and use only one adjective
to describe it in toto-"fine."
To reflect public opinion as to the
artists would puzzle us still more. Some
thought the manner, dress and looks of
one were lovely, while Others were
equally firm in the opinion that "tother"
one was the best looking and superior
performer. 1t is equally evident that
newspaper that would reflect all these
views, would have to be edited on the
compound mirror style, and the image
would be a medley that none would
know. To take all these opinions and
compound them chemically or other
wise, might result in very queer tasting
stuff, or stuff with no taste at all. And
then the combine might result in very
soft soap in such quantities as to glut
the market.
AS for ourselves; we are just old
fogy enough to enjoy lecture better
than concert and so are spoiled for
jury duty in this case. But this don't
count; for it is evident by the immense
audience present and the most money
ever taken in at an entertainment in
Yale, we are with small minority.
There might have been some chestnuts
to a few-but we must remember that
these were new to the many. Besides
most people expect to find an enter
tainment next door to heaven and per-
fection. At banquet we don't need
to eat what we have no taste for, and
its so with an entertainment menu.
The music, the readings. the imperson-
ating we are free to confess are much
ahead of anything we could do our
selves. And it would puzzle us to find
any home talent to take the place of
any of the artists-without some prac-
tice Talk is easy, oh so easy for
people who have no ideas, or only very
Slim ones to bring forth. We can do
the growing act. That's in our line;
but we can't shine among the ''Stars"
very soon-unless we die.

Boston Wool Market.

BOSTON, Oct 1S.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
Renewed activity and strength have devel-
oped in the wool market since a week ago,
and 1t Is safe to say that the situation as a
whole to-day presents the strongest. appearance
seen in years. The business of the week foots
up total of over S, 600, 900 pounds. which is
certainly most remarkable record, in view
OF the fact that the large worsted mills in the
Comblhe nave not been among the purchasers.
There is no mistakng the strength of the sit
uatlon and the tendency of prices. IF there
was anything wanting to demonstrate beyond
any doubt the underlying strength of the posi-
tion of wool In the worlds markets, 1t has
been the remarkable activity and advance in
Australia. The Sydney market is excited and
firm and Continental buyers have been taking
wool at almost any price. At the Melbourne
sales there was a large attendance and very
active competition at advanced prices. There
is worldwide demand for fine woods and fur
ther expectations of fine Territories are likely
to occur
The sales of the week in Boston amounted
to 6,7lSooO pounds domestic and 502, 600 foreign.
making a total of S. O2O 0O0. against a total of
4,446, 600 for the previous week, and a total Of
3.299, 600 for the corresponding week last year.
Sales since January l. 1899 amount to 2SS,914 100
pounds, against 1874, 01O pounds last year at
this time.
