THE SECOND CONCERT.
Madame Van Den Hende's 'Celle
Playing Evoked Enthusiasm.

4 large audience attended the sec
ond Van den Hende concert last night
at Guernsey hall. Madame Van den
Hende again delighted the listeners
with her wonderful cello playing. She
possesses to an intense degree the
power of evoking the superb singing
! tone SO seldom heard from this in
strument, whose capabilities arc only
known by great artists. She plays
with the virilc touch and expression Of
IL master. The beauty and richness of
her music thrills one like the deep.
magnetic tones of a perfect contralto
voice. She has power In her bow
to set the sensbilities a-quivcr with
the tenderness and pathos it evokes.
she played a magnificent concerto by
Servias and the varied, brilliant Ma
zurka by Jacobs, the "Fileuse,' by
Denkler, and several encores. In the
trios her work was exceedingly strong.
Prof. VaEderveken played number
of selections on his famous Stradivar-
ius. Among them We're the Nlen-
temps Regrets" Weinieskis Lee
gcnde," and a composition of his own.
He also was prominent in the trio
work of the programme. c. II. Doer-
san. played the accompaniments finely,
as he always plays.
Mrs. Clara Simpson Brady was par
ticularly happy in her vocal selec-
tions. She sang the difficult Litenia
aria fro "Misnon,' and two dainty lit
tie songs. Mirage and Damon" be-
ing insistently encored after every
number. The programme closed with
the AVE Maria" from the "Caval-
leria" and Mrs. Brady was never in
better voice. She is destined to be
the most popular soprano produced in
this region. She was accompanied in
the last number by Madame Van der
Heucic. Prof. NanderVeken and Mr.
DOerSam.

shame and humiliation to Russia. 1t
is a confession that the throne and the
church, though protected by 100000
trained soldiers, are afraid of this
one quiet and truth-loving citizen. He
has tried to institute reforms in Rus
sia, but only through peaceful means.
Like all deep thinkers, he had inde-
pendent thoughts. and in religious and
social matters he had his own theories,
and with the strong courage of innate
right, was not careful tn conceal them
This brought down upon him the mer-
ciless fanaticsm of the man who, un-
der the czar, is the head of the church.
and he communicated the scholar
and thinker. At this Tosto made Il
personal appeal to the czar to stay
the rage of the bigot. He was answer
ed by u decree of banishment.
PEELED him from the church. but in
cluded in the writ that when he died
he should be denied Christian burial.
Against this he besought the ear to
intcrpose, not for himself, but for the
Russian people, and stop religious per-
secution, that inconceivable madness
which spreads wider and wider over
Russia"
1t is not known to what land he was
eNled. The cable advices told that
he was escorted to the frontier by two
gems -darmes. This would seem to
indicate that the first cable that he
had been sent to Siberia was wrong,
for Siberian cNilcS are not sent that
way. We will hope that his banishment
was west, rather than east, for in that
case he will find Il retreat in some for
eiSn country, rather than a frontier
Russian prison.
His banisfmcnt will not harm him
and the world will be the gamer, for
as a true son of Russia with a love
for native land which nothing can
ALLEVIATE, he, ut some time will be
able, in the interest of humanity, tn
tell of some ct the wrongs which are
still nursed there, and the sum of hia
arraignmeht will be another weapon
given to liberty of opinion and wor-
ship.
The lesson to be drawn is that a
dangerous tendency toward religious
persecution still fingers nj the morn
ing of the twentieth century. We will
all hope that by this mean outrage
civilization will have been awakened
to the perilous nature of biSotry
Awakened to its danger, the world will
continue to stamp out this unholy
spirit of intolerance until, with the in
crease OF learning and enlightenment,
it will finally disappear from oit the
earth.
We have with us in cur own land
many Tolstois whom We have regartled
with intolerant thought. Let us, as we
reflect upon the shameful banishment
of the greatest living Russian, beware
lest We are party to some petty species
of persecution of a fellow couatrynan
who does not share the same views as
ourselves. Let us not be so ready To
throw stones at those who come To
us with messages we can not accept.
The ethics of the twentieth century
demand of us the broadcast charity.
