and organic atoms are holding special

street cars all over the city stopped
and remained at standstill for FIVE
minutes; telegraph wires were silent,
traffic on the various ferries, tug liuts
and some steamboat lines was suspend

most pleasant nature. Previously TO
this Commissioner Lawler had made
the statement that the meeting looked
like TRADE against the Mayor. Com.
missioner Bryant stated that the Mayor,
he was OF opinion, had made the State
ment that he (the mayor would never
have policeman brought before the
commissioners. The Mayor stated
that bis recollection had indeed served
him very poorly.
Commissioner Lswler offered re-
solution prohibiting officers and police
men from smoking while on duty. 10
accordance With the usual custom, ac-
ton was deferred until the next meet
ing.
Commissioner Bryant stated that the
remarks that he bad previously made
were OF en- official nature, and there
was nothing personal intended.
Commissioner Lawler stated that he under.
stood that wthia the next thity days sew
ersl resignations of policemen would come
| before the board. He asked that tho vacancies
made by the designations be not filed until
the pre- ent force had four members droppe1
from the roster. Commissioner Brysnt
| stated there was, he understood, only one
resignation to come up, and that wss the
| resigna Ion of Policeman Keith Davis, which
would be rendered October 1.
The following was the resolution offered
by Mr.. Lawler:
Resolved, That the board deems il mad.
visible to ill any vacancy existing on tho
force until 81 ordinance now Jending before
the City Council calling for reduction in
number is disposed OF by that body"
Captain Bryant thought that tho Council
Was not willing to assume the resposibilty Of

Mr.Lswler thought that ii would be only
fair to wait until they took action in the
matter.
| Mr.. Bryant stated that the city st pre.ent
had little protection st night with the present
force, as the beats were too long.
Mayor simrson thought the reduction

city, saving about 81, 200 per srnum to the

would be we'll to make IL In fact and not in

many Catholics, while bowling in hum

Catholics would doubtless become Free
maaons were il not for the Vatican,
which has always frowued upon he in

Freemasonry which, If properly COM

ly to be supposed it was ever intended
TO supplaDt the church; hence there ia
room in the world for both, and a
closer intimacy between the members
OF The lodge aud the church
would do mucn toward clearing

Catholic and Mason. But the stand
taken By the church in this last an

stage performance may be left to the judgment
of the reader of the story. That II is deficient in
incident is obvious enough; people coming and
going, singing, shouting dancing. mourning.
praying and rejoicing do not make up dramatic
action. From theatrical point of view. all that
there is of action in Judith is summed up in
the scene within Hoofernes's tent which has
such dreful results for him. Were there twenty
times much incident, however, it could be of
little avail in a concert performance. 1t might
be suggested by printing the stage directions in
the book of words, as is the here, and
through that channel reach the fancy and emo
tions and open them to the influence of the
music provided the music imbued with
dramatic vitality. All persons keenly suscept-
bic to music know that it is possible to denote
the progress and stages of psychological deve-
'ents by means of it. to make paucity
of external Incl 'ent all but unnoticeabIe OF this
truth the most eloquent and convincing demon
stration in the world is found in Wagners
Tristan und Isolde" How much of this vital
ity there is in Mr.. Chadwick's may be
told after the performance at Worcester next
Thursday; for the present some hints to his
methods and purposes must suffice.
Mr.. Chadwick is both and old fashioned
in his writing. Although he calls his work a
lyric drama, the choral portion is more
tended than the solos, and he drops frankly into
the oratOrio manner that is. the manner Of the
dramatic oTatorio as it has existed since
Mendelssohn) whenever his large choral masses
come into play. He does not seem to have at
tempted to apply local color, unless it he in the
Orchestration but he has diff inflated between
his Hebrews and Assyrans by difference in the
moods of their melodies. The music Of the for
mer is predominant!y sustained. broad, religious
and interspersed with a capelia effect; that of
the latter fierce, wild, oreiastic. Much of it.
solos we'll choruses. is built upon an in
suumental march. which viii come up for special
consideration presently Mr.. Chadwick aIso
makes use of typical themes. but in the style of
the early Wagner. not the later-in the manner
of 'Lohengrin," not of THE Ring Of the
Nibelung." From these themes again he bor-
rows motivi, which woven into the musical
fabric. There is 10 attempt to develop any
of them at great length, but they are used To
bring to mind the chief moments and agencies
of the story. To five Of these themes especial
significance seems to have been attached and
these shall be marshaled and their use de-
scribed; they all occur in the music Of Judiths

of the drama, has already been stated. The
