The gift of the Morris Steinert collec
ton Of musical instruments to Yale uni
vereity is even more important in it
significance than Is the collection In it
self Mr.. Steinert had gathered a re
markedly complete group of the prede
Y cessors of the piano and fine examples O
the early forms of various instrument
now in use and some of which hav,
been supplanted. These are strung, KEEP
tuned and in repair, SO that they are fal
more than mere group of curios il
cases. The student of the development
of music will be able in this collection
to find precisely the capacity of the in
struments for which the early compos-
ers wrote. In that fact will be found tc
| lie the key to much of the early music
which seems so nearly meaningless
when played on our modern pianos and
by our orchestras Shakespeare plays

actors We're swung all over the then
known world because he had no scenery
and 1t was just as easy to hang up a
placard marked Mantua as 1t was Vero-
ma, or one labelled Rome as Alexandria.
The Greek dramatists preserved the
unities of time and place, because their
open stage represented one scene into
which all the actors must be brought
naturally to preserve an illusion. So

sound best on the instruments which
they had. Students of composition and
harmony can understand the early
scores by trying their simple effects up
on the instruments in the Stenert col
lection as they never could do by de-
scription or imagination
That shows the Importance Of the
Steinert collection to the growth of mu-
steal composition here, an art as to
which America is yet in swaddling
clothes but bravely feeling her way to
her own feet. The fact that the collec-
ton has gone to Yale is happy indica-
ton of the broader and more serious
view which our universities are taking
of music as an art. Yale under Profess
sor Parker and Columbia under Mr..
Mcdowell are training up large bodies
of students not to be performers or COM
posers, but to have an intelligent knowl-
edge Of musical art, just as they have
of the history Of painting, literature or
sculpture Such a background is essen
tial to the enjoyment Of modern con-
cert programme. When that training Is
impaired at the great universities peo-
pie outside their walls will have a high

feel ashamed of the utter ignorance of
it, which is now matter Of course with

PENSION LEGISLATION.

Perhaps the pension seekers and the
pension attorneys will not have as much
luck In Washington as they have hoped
| for. 1t Is announced that there will be
no general pension legislation during
this congress, and the number of special
and private pension bills to be passed Is
to be kept down to the very lowest num-
ber This is the programme outlined
for the Fifty-sixth congress by Senator
Gallinger, chairman of the Senate COM
mittee ON pensions, and it Is agreed to
in part by Representative Subway,
chairman of/the House committee on
invalid pensions. While the latter is
willing to act favorably on all private
bills that possess undoubted merit, he
has practically set limit on the num-
Der that is to be reported from hie COM
mittee, and he has announced that he
will not vote for the passage OF any
measure granting large pensions for the
widows of wealthy generals and admir-
ais. 1t has been necessary for both the
Senate and House committee to adopt
new rules and regulations this session in
order to check the growing tendency to-
ward reckless special pension legisla-
ton. In addition to a large number of,
bills that have been introduced propo6-
ing all sorts of amendments to the ex-
listing laws by which it will be possible
for teamsters. civilians and others en-
ployed by the government during the
civil war to obtain bounties, there has
been an unprecedented flood of private
pension bills. Up to the present time
between 3,1OO and 5000 pension bills
have been introduced in the House
alone, while during the three sessions
of the Fifty-fifth congress the total
number Of pension bills that were intro
duced in the House was only 1852.
These included also all pension bills that
came over from the senate.\ Senator
Gallinger believes that congress is rap
idly getting away from the original in
tention in the way of passing special
pension bills, and thinks that it is time
to call halt.

QUAINT WAYS OF COURTSHIP.

Odd Customs Still Followed in Some of
the Rural Parts of Pennsylvania.
Time and progress have obliterated
many of the social customs that were
tablished in the colony that Penn

many of PENIS descendants reside,
and where he owned vast tracts of land,
the ancient customs appertaining to
courtship and marriage are etill large

First of all, the country swain is not
qualified to pay court to the girls Of his

carriage, and that is generally his first
possession, either by gift from his father
or the result of the boarding of small

SO the question of the separate skirt is
an interesting one. The taffeta skirt
spreading to the foot, trained generous
ly, and with applications of ribbon,
cloth, lace or cording comes with close
lines about the hips and with closed
back, which, however, shows folds that
fall from the belt. These folds recall
the ripples worn some seasons ago,
though they are less stiff and set. A
white silk taffeta skirt with this style
of back is trimmed with a series of
flounces, each f1ounce heavily embroid-
cred with lace edged ribbon Except
for the trimming of ribbon, the shaping
of the back and the emphasis of train
the skirt might be one of several sea-
sons ago. The same skirt in black taf-
feta would be equally stylish and even
moro useful.
1t is customary to make a bodice es-
pecially to match such a skirt, as we'll

AN INTER ES1INr TEST CASE.

A decision which will interest sports
men and others all over the country
has just been made at San Rafael, Cali
fornia. Some months ago an ordinance
was passed making 1t illegal to use re-
peating and magazine shotguns in
Marin county. With an avowed inten-
ton of testing the legality of this law,
Mr.. w. A. Marshall, an Oakland capt.
talist, went into the county with re-
peating shotgun and shot number of
quail. He was arrested and taken be-
fore justice, who fined him $50. The
case was Immediately appealed to the
Superior court, and referred to, Judge
Angellotti The judge. after careful
consideration, has upheld the right of
the county to put restrictions on the
kind Of weapons to be used by sports
men In killing game. Experts agree, he
declares that repeating arms are excep-
tionally destructive, and that their en-
ployment leads inevitably to the exter-
mination of animal life, even when
close seasons are established and we'll
observed In support Of this opinion the
court cites the laws forbidding the use
of seines and of guns Of more than a
certain calibre.
1t is said that Mr.. Marshall Is really
that the case will be carried to the
highest courts. If Judge Angellotti's
Marin county are made in many other
parts Of the country gunmakers might
have their profits diminished.

THE OTHER SIDE.

1--WE feel that the exemption of wo-
men from the performance of suffrage
is privilege which they are not pre-
pared to surrender, and which has been
conferred upon them as compensation
for limitations and duties imposed up
on them by their sex, and which can
not by any possibility be transferred to
the domain of masculine service" So
says the letter signed by the State as
sociations opposed to the extension of
the suffrage to women, which letter has
just been read before congressional
committees in protest against any
change in the constitution giving equal
rights with men. The letter further
opposes the amendment on the ground
that it is unnecessary and that the eff
fort to secure federal interference with
the reserved rights of the States is
without justification. The mere fact,
as a compliment to the leading advo-
cate of woman suffrage, on the attain
ment of her eightieth birthday, is evil
dence of the emotional frame of mind
which influences the advocates of the
measure. The letter declares that there
is no demand for the legislation asked
for, and expresses the belief that if
the PROPOSITION to enlarge the suffrage
were submitted to the votes of the Wo-
men of the United States, it would be
rejected by an overwhelming majority.
This is in striking contrast with the
vooiferous appeal of the women who
