Nearly all of the great beauties Of the
world have testified to the value of
sleep. Under its influence every muscle
is relaxed and all care dispelled. The
heart beats slower, gaining new vigor for
the waking hours. A midday nap, il only
of few minutes duration, is wonderful
ly refreshing, and it is generally conceded
that sleep during the earlier hours of the
night is far more beneficial than that OBJ
tanned after midnight.

THE CLERGY AND MIR. SHEPARD.
pain Talk From the Rev. DR.. Dunncld.

To II EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: tt
statement OF Mr.. Shepard that the majority
OF tho clergy heartily indorse his mesal-
lance with Tammany Hell in this present
momentOus contest would seem to render
il desirable that the ministers should tand
up and be counted. l, for one, am un-
willing to permit my silence to afford any
ground for a misunderstanding as 10 my
position. l am openly and unqualifedly
for Mr.. Low. and for all that he represents.
| am just a. squurely opposed to Mr.. Shep-
ard and that group Of men with whom he
has been pleased 20 identity himself.
Mr.. SHEPARD should not deludo himself
with the idea that those who are in the
habit of deciding questions by simple con-
siderations Of right and wrong can be so
easily hoodwinked as 10 the necessary
meaning and result of an aflliation with
Tammany Hall, under existing conditions.
He ought not to expect hat men who have
nothing in the way OF personal emolument
to gain by the issue Of the election should
attach TO his sophistries the weight which
he seems TO think hat they possess. What
ever may be true or false as to his personal
character, he Is seeking election 20 the
highest civic Office by dependence upon
a constituency Of iniquity. Whatever
he may hope or plan for the common well
fare. he has aligned himself with a circle
of fellow candidates whose fitness for
Office he finds himself unable TO indorse.
With whatever honesty he may assert his
independence Of Tammany Hall the fact
remains that, with n singular and plastic
readiness, he has yielded obedience to the
only request which Tammany Hall has over
made of him, and with notable alacrity he
flung consistency to the winds, and sprang
to their rescue. the moment they few a
signal of distress. Whatever he may
attempt hereafter he is now lending the
mantle of his responsibility to cloak the
vileness of a civic corr upton which he
has hitherto been foremost to unmask and
d~enounce.
He guilelessly asserts that he Is doing
this evil in order that good may come.
All men know, and none better than
those by whom he has been entrapped,
that good never comes that way. The
question which is TO be decided at the
ballot box is very clean cut, The per
sonality Of candidates counts for little in
this struggle. Party ties count as nothing.
Deoency against infamy is the supreme
and over-shadowing issue. The capacity
Of a modern city for self-government is
to be put to a searching test on Tuesday

The Dcllini Centenary.


Catania, at the foot of Mount Etna,
begins to-day to celebrate the hun
dredth anniversary Of the birth OF VIM
CENZo BELLINI, her most famous son,
with festivities that will spread e
many days. The town has decided to
make the occasion one of real rejoicing
with as few formal exercises as possible;
so, though some speeches and banquets
and professions cannot be avoided,
the greater part of the programme Is
filled with races and open-air sports
| and popular games on land and water,
with balls and concerts and, Of course,
with a series of performances OF all OF
BELLINI's operas. There is none of
the religious awe and Pharisaic pedantry
of Bayreuth about IL. The Catanians
are out for a good time; the music they
will listen to was meant TO be enjoyed
and has been enjoyed by every one for
seventy years nov
BELLINI's music is under a cloud in
these more learned days, together with
that Of the other great Italian COM
posers. The Teutonic musical critics
will have none Of it.. MOZART is great
because of melody but melody is an
objectionable sin in the Sicilian. And
the modern Italians eager for novelty
and admiring whatever is non-Italian,
turn up their noses at Norma and
la Sonnambula and Beatrice di
Tenda" and II Puritani and worship
the MAsCAGNIs, the BoITos and above
all the Incompatible tedeschi. Some
day, perhaps, the instrument for which
BELlLNI and the others wrote, the
glorious human voice, may come into
fashion again and singers may take
the trouble to learn TO sing, What
voices were those for which his music
was written, GuIDITTA PASTA. GIULIA
GRIsI, RUBIN, T~AMBURINI, LABLACHE!
and the people who listened to them
didn't follow the score to SEQ If the
kettledrums came in right or not.
The melodies have made the round
Of tho world; hand organs have played
them and church okoirs sung them
without killing the music in them. Hack
neyed they may be, like all good things,
like all great art. The Venus dc Milo
and the Sistine Madonna are in every
parlor. Music as an art is in a peculiar
position; except for a%ntiquaries it is
barely two hundred years old; for most
people it begins with MOZART and
BEETHOVEN, and the great gods Of the
day count less than half a century. 1t is
presumptuous to say what will or will
not live, but We fancy that the lyrical
composers stand as good a chance as
any and that the "Druid's March ="
from Norma or the Liberty duet "
from 81 Puritani," will be heard when
much of the Teutonic product of to-day
is forgotten.
We envy the Catanians their Sicilian
weather, their Sicilian festival and the
Bellini melodies that make the heart
glad and do not perpler.

ample proof Of tho sterling merit OF this
years Since the season opened
there has been scarcely a week in which
some one OF the old records hasn't been
shattered, and at one time last summer
record breaking was q matter of almost
every day occurrence. This is explain
able, however, partly by the superb
ability Of many of tho horses and partly
by the fact that the local tracks never
were In finer condition than at present.
Their managers have spared neither
money nor pains to make the courses
as fast as can be found anywhere. and
their labors in that direction how" been
substantially rewarded.
After next week, though. New Workers
must say good-by to the thorough
breds for a few months. Horse racing
throughout the winter will go on In the
South and in the West; but the sport in
the South is bound to lose much OF its
attraction owing to the fact that, in
accordance with custom. many OF II
Eastern stars will be retired for the
season upon the close Of the Aqueduct
meeting. After a term Of unequalled
enjoyment, regrets on the part OF metro
politan turf lovers are, OF course, out OF
order; but all the same they will proba-
bly, be pardoned for regretting that
circumstances do not permit horse
racing in this part Of the country all
the year around.

sTRtNDED on Guam ISLAND.
MsniIa-Bound party Wanted TO See the
sights and the ship sailed without Them.


MANILA, Sept. 27.-When the United
States army transport Sheridan arrived
In Manila Bay last night it was learned
that seven Of her passengers. two Of whom
were women, had been left upon the island
OF Guam. Among the unfortunates is
Joseph Flaherty Of New York, who received
an appointment as school-teacher for ser
vice in the Philippine Islands.
The Sheridan had anchored for the pur-
pose OF dcpositing and receiving mail, and
Brig Gen. +. ID. Grant decided TO make a
hasty trip to the island. Many Of the pas
sengers were anxious to land after having
been SO long upon the water. but all who
requested permission 10 do SO were informed
by the Quartermaster that the transport
would continue her voyage upon the return
OF Gen. Grant and party, whether or not the
other passengers were aboard.
Thu great desire of the seven to take In
the sights of the island of Guam was uncon-
trollable, and after several hours Of impa-
tent waiting the little party decided to run
the risk, which resulted in their present
exile, for the Sheridan steamed away as
soon as Gen. Grant came aboard. As the
deserters took the bull by the horns, they
have only themselves 70 blame for the in
-convenipnces which will crowd upon them
while waiting for another transport. SO
much thieving Is reported to have occurred
on the vessel that nearly every person had
left In the care Of tho Quartermaster all his
money and ~valuables, and II is doubtful
II the whole party can scrape up enough
to buy a bunch Of bananas.
In the band that could not overcome is

themselves butchers and bakers and candle

lain, the protection Of the army officer and

toward securing bread and meat for man
when hungry and a ~ for him when tired.
With neither a change of clothing in a coun-
try where the mercury makes a daily visit
TO blood heat, nor an idea as TO when
another transport will call at their port,
the sorrowful seven will probably favor
the connection Of Guam by cable with the
civilized world. IL would he well for those
who expect to cross the Pacific on Govern

THE ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE.
Reasons Why II should lie Maintained
Its Present Efficiency.

To THE EDIToR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
United States Army transport service IL
conceded, | believe, TO be on- Of the triumphs
OF army administration OF the past few
years. After the lesson Of the wretched
service Of chartered ships in the Santiago
expedition the Quartermaster's Depart
ment purchased ships and fitted them for the
particular purpose of Transporting troops.
These ships, Icing the property Of the
Qu~arterinaster's Department, differed and
manned by employees Of that depart
mcpt, very naturally were placed in the
charge and command Of q~uartcrmasters.
BY the spring Of 1899 the system was well
established and giving satisfaction. since
that time several quartermasters have
been on continuous service in command
of transports. Some officers | know per
sonally have been transport c~ommanders
since July, 1895. Under tho direction Of
these officers, who now have two or three
years experience ~ sea, the transport
service has been perfected to that point
that II can bear very favorable comparison
with the ocean transportation OF any army
in the world.
When the present transport quarter

The Close OF the Campaign.

The e~lectioneering appeals of the cam
paign were brought to a close last night,
and there Is not much left to be q
TO them. .
The citizens Of New York understand
thoroughly the Importance OF the cleo
ton on Tuesday and the single issue
il will decide. The attempt OF Tam
many to confuse the public mind and
escape from that issue by the nomina-
ton of a man whose own previous per-
sonal responsibility would divert atten-
ton from the iniquity Of that predatory
organization has proved unsuccessful.
Neither has the device Of giving to
this candidate the appearance OF a
representative and champion OF the
Democratic party worked any better,
In the campaign now closed II is a
Democrat who has been most effective
In arousing popular sentiment against
Tammany. Justice JEROME has pushed
himself into unexpected prominence as a
national figure by the boldness and
originality Of his electioneering methods.
Beside him, the place taken by MIR. SHEP-
ARD has been small and low, though,
doubtless, the Tammany candidate
accepted its nomination in the e1pecta-
ton that through it he would rise to the
height of consideration attained by his
intrepid Democratic opponent.
The hero Of this campaign is WILLIAM
TRAvERs JEROME. The hero OF the
Democratic party at this moment is
this young man who has spoken straight
from a trve and honest heart in uttering
his scorn and horror of the infamous
rule which SHEPARD would perpetuate,
for, obviously, the Tammany beneficiary
would not destroy it. How could he,
without dishonor, strike down the or
r~anization whose loyalty had elected
him to the Office his ~far-reaching am
bition sought?
Here are two types Of Democrats and
of men. TO which do the American
people OF both parties and all parties
givc Their honor? Which serves best
the interests Of his party? Which ele-
Yates il in the public esteem and which
degrades it?
Nobody, however, needs TO be told that
the conflict next Tuesday will not be
between political parties. 1t Is simply,
as everybody knows, between Tam
many. an organization held together
wholly by greed of the municipal reve-
nues of New York. and the citizenship
which would rescue the city from so
infamous a domination. II is between
those who like Tammany methods and
profit by them and the men Of every
party who would rescue New York
from a domination which disgraces its
civilization in the eyes Of the world.
That is all. Nothing else enters into
this election. Tammany or no Tam
many, that i the whole question.
