Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1900-03-23

Although always intensely parti-
san, Senator Tillman has a way of
frankly expressing what he believes
which makes one admire his honesty
ever when they entirely disagree
with him. He made some Of the
democrats open their eyes when he
said, on the floor of the Senate II
am always willing to trusts William
Mckinley He is a patriotic and
noble man" During the same COL
loquy, he said to the republican SEN
ators, referring to their differences
on the Porto Riean tariff question
"You are the best organized party
ever saw, AID no matter how you
talk. have no doabt you will all
round up on the vote. "
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1900-03-23

No time has been set for a vote
on the other Porto Rico bill, dealing
with the government of the island
and the tariff, but is not likely to be
for several weeks, as Senators Aid
rich, Platt, Of Conn, and Teller,
who are much interested in the
measure have gone to Cuba, and
will not return for about two weeks
Meanwhile the debate will &c on
The passage of the Emergency Porte
Rican Bill has made it unnecessary
to hurry in disposing of this one.

and says in his report that deter
mined enemy, with u boat of the
Holland type could have made the
occupation of Manila Bay by Ad-
miral Dewey's squadron impossible.
Admiral Dewey sent Lieut. Cald-
wells report to the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs, with a letter
of his own, endorsing it strongly.
BY a solid republican vote, aided
by the vote of Senator Lindsay, of
XIV, the Senate has decided in fav
or OF the republican contention,
that the Constitution does not fol-
low the flag into acquisitions of ter
ritory outside of the boundaries of
the U S. proper, without an act of
Congress providing for such an ex-
tension. In other words, that terri
tory may belong to the U. S. with
out becoming part of the U. s.
The vote was on an amendment Of
fered by Senator Allen to the sill
providing for turning over to the
President, to be used for immediate
necessities of Porto Rico, the money
collected under the Dingley tariff
law, on Porto Rican products, up to
the LIST of last january little me re
than $4,000, ,00O-which was after
wards passed without a division
The question was squarely presented
in the defeated amendment, which
asserted that the treaty of peace
with Spain extended the Constitu-
ton of the U. S. over Porto Rico.
This action of the Senate endorst S
the position of the republican maj
ority of the House, as we'll as that
of President Mckinley, and there is
very little doubt that the decision OF
the supreme court. when the ques-
tion reaches it, will be to the same
effect.

MR.. BAUER's RECITAL.

The opportunity 10 make a better acquaintance OF
Mr. Harold Bauer's capacities a pianoforte
player, for which his performance at the Kneisel
concert on Tuesday created desire, came yester-
day afternoon. when the artist gave a recital in
Mendelssohn Hall. 1t affair that gave
many artistic delights, even if 1t did not justify
the extravagant panegyrcs indulged in by the Bos-
ton reviewers last week. The key in which the
Boston reviews pitched was indeed calculated
to excite suspicion here; but is an old story.
Boston likes to create musical regulations even
more dearly than to destroy those that come 10
her ready made by way OF Europe and New
York. and the opportunities for the former
activity fewer than for the latter they are
embraced with greater avdity and enthusiasm Mr..
Bauer Is not Paderewski, d dAlbert and Rosenthal
rolled into and, indeed. does not suggest the
distinguishing characteristics OF any one of the
three; yet he is player whose influence ought to
be hailed with pleasure, because of his freedom
from all manner Of affectation and his indifference
TO ad captandum effects He does not attempt TO
WELD Jove's thunderbolts, neither does he seek to
on, with keen analytical mind alert ceaselessly
nice sense of beauty always busy, and the mus
ceS OF nngers, wrists and ever responsive to
the promptings Of heart well as mind He is
not highly imaginative, he would have made
more of Chopins Fantasia, but he is dantily fanci-
tuL as he showed in some Of the lighter portions
OF Schumanns "PapiIons' yesterday, and he
knows the value OF symmetry, of Just proportion
in all musical manifestations.

NAN STUNG BY TARANTULA DIES.
Tackled HIS HEALTH GRAD
UAILY FAILED.

William c. Citing of New-Rochelle. who died
on Tuesday, in his hfty-second year. was stung
two years ago by a tarantula. He had not been
a well man since. Mr.. Citing frequently told his
friends he thought that the bite of the insect
had ruined his health. DR.. Samuel Beyea, who
attended the dying man. said last night that
death was caused by blood poisoning. The fam
lily refuses to believe that this the real
cause of death.
Mr.. Citing was the general agent for large
wholesale paint concern in this city. While trav-
elling in the South two years ago he visited the
orange groves of Florida In plucking fruit from
q tree he was stung the hand by a tarantula.
which was concealed beneath the leaves. His
health gradually failed, and he became worse
day by day. Mr.. Citing was president of the
First Ward Republican Club of New-Rochelle
and a leading member Of the Presbyterian
Church of that place. He leaves widow and
several children.

MUSIC.
THE MUSICAL ART SOCIETY.

The chief musical delight of each Christmastide
for seven years has been the first annual concert
OF the Musical Art Society These concerts, called
into being by Mr. Frank Damrosch eight years ago,
mark the high tide Of the countrys choral achieve
ments as the concerts of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra and Knese Quartet do the instrumental
In the nature Of the case they must remain rare
occurrences, for they cost not only large ex-
penditure of money. but also equivalent of that
expenditure in preparation. There are but two
concerts a season. but five months of weekly re-
hearsals devoted to preparing the two pro-
grammes. and none of the time is wasted. For all
lovers Of the best in music they heighten the glad
someness of the holiday season. and of its
predecessors achieved that amiable end more de-
Hghtfuly than that given in Carnegie Hall last
night. Mr.. Damrosch persisted in his policy of re-
Heving the first part Of the programme of the his
torical interest which it originally possessed but
paid a tribute to the classical church style of
the sixteenth century by repeating Palestrina's
Marcelne mass omitting the "Credo." which he
gave in 1896, and retaining the "Sanctus" which
ne passed over them Associated with it in this
part Of the concert were setting by Samuel Wesley
of the psalm, I'm Extu Israel" a "Salve Regina
by Franz X Arens Ga composition that had been
submitted for the Musical Art Socety's prize two
years ago., two old Bohemian Christmas hymns
IN the folk-song style and the adagio from one Of
Bach's violin concertos in z major. This last
number played by Mr.. Fritz Kreiser with an
accompa niment by string orchestra and organ.
Z much better manner than in the opening number
of the recital on Wednesday, associated Mr. David
Names with himself in a performance of the
same composers concerto for two vions There
was deal OF faulty intonaton in the first move
ment Of this work, but the Largo was finely
performed and made a deep impression The
choral numbers in the second part of the even
ings entertainment two PaEt-songs by
Brahms "Letztes Click and I'm -Herhst" and
two others, by modern Russians, Kopzlow and
Taneiew.
The choir has seldom appeared TO better ad-
vantage than this occasion in the-nass. For the
psalm Of the English composer, it was lacking in
weight, a circumstance which the lsplendidly
sonorous effects obtained in the other pieces showed
TO be due to the composition. Mr.. Arens's work
made an agreeable impression, though somewhat
weakly sentimental and forced in parts. The climax
of popular APPROVAL reached in the second of the
Bohemian CAROLS, the first period of whose melody
is Identical with old German folksong, beginning
"Guten Abend Iebe Leserl. hast dein
Latern':" The first however was the more char
acteristie OF the two and really fine specimen of
the old Hussite hynnology, which antedates that
of the German Lutheran Church by many years

With the possible exceptions Of those in West

section north of the Harlem free public library
The libraries in Manhattan too remote to be
practically available and they are hindered from
establishing branches in The Bronx by lack Of
funds
Under these circumstances. 1t has seemed to sew
eral citizens of fremont that beginning should
be made. The Bronx Public Library has therefore
been founded, and will be incorporated The be-
ginning will be modest. The organization started
without funds. All work now being done is the
unpaid effort of those who serve because Of in

been received, and now being catalosued. 1t
Is expected that books will be issued on January ..
These books OF all kinds There are good
number Of standard works, but more are needed,
and appeal is made to all who are interested
to contribute books and funds, One of the most
effective of preventive causes, the promoters of the
library believe, in dealing with any kind of vice IS
to store the mind with better thoughts. The free
public library is an approved agency, they contend
The Rev. F. B. Makepeace. pastor Of Trinity Con-
