HIAWATHA TO MUSIC
AT A 0 CONCERT.

Next Thanksgiving. when Director Al.
fred Ernst recalls the good things Of the
year. he may include among them fba
Choral-Symphony concert given al the
Odeon last evening. This was the first OF
The society's concerts for the season, and.
n large and representative audience showed
It's appreciation of the general excellence of
tAe programme by unstinted applause.
You shall hear how P~au-Puk-Keewts.
How the handsome Ycnadizze.
Danced ~ Hiavath1's we.I.ias-
How the gentle Chihiabos. - e
He the sweetest OF musicians.
Shhs ms songs OF love and longing:
How Iagoo. the great boas.er.
He the marvellous storyteiIer
Told his tales Of strange adventure. n
Thot me feast might he more ioyous.
Th"t the time might pass mere seyly,
And the guests DE more contented.
The story of Hiawatha's Wedding Feast
was unsteady told by the chorus. orchestra
and Mr.. Williams as soloist.
The rhythlnical lines of the poem, set to
mEstc that swa5ed with the grace of the
uhtutored savage in his dance at the we'd
ding feast. or in a weird minor strain or
chant like the Songs of love and lonr-
ing of the gentle Ctibiabos." were wen
ana effectively executed. :
The work of the chorus showed that Df.
rector Ernst has spared neither time nor
energy in the training for the seasons
work. Especially in the third number, which
1dS ihhHIE iOT Strings, Was the eyecu.
ton n0ticeabiy good. The effect of Mr..
Williams's aria. From Boyhood Trained"
was somewhat marred. possibly because. Of
too little voice. but probably because OF too
much orchestra. His solo in the wedding
Feast" however, was a most happy IN
pCrtunity to show the fine quality OF the
tcror's voice, and was enthusiastically re-
ceived.
The chorus was full and strong, and there
vaa u promise in it of better things in the
future.
In spite of the fact that 1t was a holiday.
when many folks abide by the good old
American custom of family reunions on
Thanksgiving Day, the seating capacity or
the Odeon was only just equal TO the de-
mand made upon it. In the boxes thar
were 4 number of parties, and those who
dropped IN for the latter part of the .pro.
Sr2mme conteLted themselves without
chairs at the back of the house.
This was the programme:

Down the Lobby.

Senator Hanna is making noble tight
against mighty opposition, for the pas
| sage of the American shipping bill.
The free trade element. of England
and this country are united in their oppo-
sition to the principal,o of subsidising Amer
ican ships.
There is in Washington now, mighty
foreign lobby. backed with British gold,
working night and day, for the benefit of
the bill, now pending in the Senate.
This lobby is backed by the Reform
Club, which SO strongly aided, in the
passage of the Wilson bill, measure
which proved to be almost rumious, to
American trade, at home and abroad
All commercial nations, except ours,
grant ship subsldys, result of which our
shipping has almost been driven from the
seas, except such as is carried under for
eign flags.
The time has come for the American
people to stand shoulder to shoulder in
support OF the shipping bill, our trade, is
increasing more than that of any other
country on the globe, and our products,
should be carried to thtit natural mark
cts, under the American flag which can
only be done, by placing our Shipping on
eql iovung, with that of our competl-
tO,S.
Why should this lobby, paid by those
interested in foreign ships and shipping,
be so active at this time in their oppoSi-
ton to this bill.
The answer is at hand. They well know
that by the passage of the ship subsidy
bill American ship yards will at once
resume their activity, building ships, which
will carry our products TO markets now
supplied with goods made here but ex-
ported in ships carrying flag other than
our own stars and stripes.
There will come before this Congress
no measure of as great Importance to
this country as the passage OF this ship
ping bill, and it should have the earnest
support of every Republican in both
houses.
The people of this country are awake
to their interests and will not longer toll
crate British or any other influence,
standing in the road of commercial pro-
gress. As nalion we are in the lead,
and do not proposed to be halted by any
power or opposition which shall confront
US in our forward march. This bill
should and will become a law.

Mans inventive genius seems to nave
no bounds. With the announ EN- Mt fac
new invention, the world for the moment
seems startled but in time the invention
is thought no more of-treated as though
| i always existed. One OF the latest inven.
tons is row applied TO our modern war
ships, and will remove the possibility Of
their distraction by fire which was the
great cause Of the rapid annihiation OF
1e.Spanish fleet at Santiago during our
late war with Spain.
The use Of fire proof wood may at first
glance seem OF little importance, yet
no greater use could be made of this ma
terial. than in the construction Of vessels
OF all classes.
Fire-proof wood is now recognized as
success by the Government, and by
everyone who has given it an investiga-
ton.
The American Wood Fire probing CO..
Ltd, which-controls this wonderful new
process, is not only receiving orders for
wood for ship construction but many or
ders for wood for buildings. The new
building for the storage of high explosives
at the Brooklyn navy yard will be built OF
hre-proof wood: SO will the new building
OF the New York Yacht Club the floors OF
the new Prudential Building at Newark,
and the interior work of many Large new
buildings.
The wood is absolutely fire-proor when
treated by the new process, and shaving
cannot be made to burn with blow pipe.
In appearance, strength and all other re-
spects it is the same as before blaze.
TheEtreatment TO which it is subjected is
a most interesting one. 1t is placed in a
cylinder and steamed until all the dried
juicessare softened and loosened. Then a
powerful vacuum pump is set to work,and
the all. drawn off. This draws out of the
cellular structure all saps and juices.
Then, under heavy pressure. an aka
line solution is forced into the wood until
i. is thoroughly.saturated 1t is then al
lowed to dry, and nothing can make it
burn.

TINY CHRISTMAS TREES.
Description of One Whose Branches
Are of Wire.


Are of Wire.
The little tree measures from the bot
tom of its wooden pot to the top of its
highest candle only three feet. 1t was
the gift of one Of the spinster's friends.

tiny toy, with miniature dolls, with
bonbons and a small Kriss Kringle, and
who set it out with its 20 candles. 1t is
a blaze of cheerful glory when 1t is
lighted, and it now has a history with
its many years of associations which
no live tree faded with seasons serv-
ice could ever have boasted.
The branches of this tree. being of
wire, can always be bent and the tree
itself packed away for another year OF

tree of the forest is possible 1t ought TO

trees. A young mother of my acquaint'

still brings out on Christmas one OF
these trees, one that was given her in
her invalid days before her marriage.

far as known, has recently been placed in
the British Museum. 1t was printed in
China. under the Ming Dynasty in the
year 800. The characters upon its face

not printed in Europe, until three humid
red years later, China is not such a back
