AS VIEWED IN NEW YORK

Under the caption .'William A. Clarl,'s
Chances the New York Tribune of re-
cent date had the following:

Days death Heinze was usually on the
side OF Clark in the fierce political and
business strife between these old-time
enemies, but now the former BROOKLYN

though it is understood that whoever

VIII lnteres. the public with regard to
ClFcuSeS. said the representative of a
Dig hardware firm of Chicago at the
Eutte this morning. He was told that
he was safe, to so ahead.
Well you see, l used to be connected
with Adam Forepaugh's big aggrega-
ton myself. In the summer of 1880 a
hurry arose among the heads of the
circus on account of news reaching
them that J. r. Gaylord, foreign repre-
sentative OF the Barnuln Bailey circus.
had secured a sacred white elephant
from the king of Siam, and intended
shipping it to this country. OF course,
that would cause great excitement and
Barnum would be the gamer. Fore
pauSh and his lieutenants puzzled over
how their rivals thunder could be
stolen. and finally the chief agent of thei
show hit on a happy plan. -tt t4sr+
We have % ELEPHANTS he, said to
Forepaugh, why not paint one of,
them?'
He was asked to explain himself,
and outlined his plan as follows: Take
Cd Queen Bess, the largest of the ele-
plants, down 10 miles below Baltimore
and paint her IN good style. Then bring
her up to Sandy Hook, and by the Judi
cious use of money get her aboard one
OF the incoming trans-oceanic steamers
bound for New York. The news could
then be sent broadcast that Forepaugh
had purchased a sacred white elephant.
The Old man was tickled immensely
at the idea. and it was carried out with
out mitch. 1t cost whole lot of money
to get her aboard the incoming ocean
ForepauSh's press agents had one rem |
resentative from each of the great New /
York dailies on hand and soon the news
was sent broadcast over the country
that Forepaugh had imported the Sc
cred white elephant. Almost all of Bar
mum thunder was stolen, but in August
poor old Bess gave up the ghost. 1t
was found necessary to re-ka lsomine
her. and the preparation used was so
saturated with acid in order to prevent
soap and water from taking any effect
on her white coat that it killed her. She
was buried with honors ana when Bar.

Mr. Mees has two chapters sketching the rise
of the most important modern manifestation OF
choral art-its cultivation by amateur choruses
in Germany, England and the United States
OF THE Chorus and the Chorus Conductor
which is the title of his closing chapter. Mr..
Mees is able 10 speak with especial authority.
His remarks have an important practical bear
ing. as when ne discusses the requirements of
the ideal chorister and of the ideal conductor.
The former
must have a good voice, properly trained; an
ear sensitive to the slightest deviation from the
true pitch; keen perceptiveness of rhythm: a
systematically developed faculty for reading
music, and artistic temperament He must
be self-reliant, but not self-assertive, patient,
eager TO learn, filled with love for his task and
appreciative Of the benefit to be derived for
musical intelligence and taste from the con-
certed practice of the works Of the great choral
masters.
The chorus conductor himself must be a mu-
stefan of the highest training and widest ex
perence. for he has responsibilities greater than
those of the orchestral conductor.
OF compilations of musical biography like Miss
Chapin's there seems TO be no end. She has
given brief accounts of twenty great musicians,
from Palestrna TO Wagner in amiable story
telling vein-the vein that likes to dwell upon
the imaginative and sentimental details that
seem to gather into legends about musicians
more thickly than about any other kind of
artists OF what modern researches have done
10 many of these legends Miss Chaplin is in bliss
full ignorance. In her critical estimates of the
works of the men she writes about she never
leaves the conventional ruts. and her express
sion OF them is seldom other than a dilettante's
utterance Unfortunately such a book is likelier
TO find favor with the mass of music lovers THAN
the more individual work of authoritative writ
ers. The TREMENDOUSLY sentimental the magma
tive and the romantic features of musical BIZ
ography in such hands always find thankful
circle of readers.

RELIGION IN THE POETS.
BISHOP CARPENTERS STUDIES AND
CRITICISMS
THE RELIGIOUS SPIRIT IN THE POETS. BY
the Right Rev. ". Boyd Carpenter. d. D.. Lord
Bishop of Ripon. Octave. Up. 2f Thomas Y.
Crowell & Co.

Crowel & Co.
These are fugitive studies" DR.. Carpenter
calls them. but they have evident continuity
and connection, even though they cannot and
do not pretend TO a profound analysis OF their
subject. They a simple and direct examina-
ton of some Of the characteristics Of poetry
that will not, indeed. have escaped the thought
full reader. but that are clearly and cogently
pointed out. Poetry is more valuable than theo-
logical treatises; the latter valuable at times
in clearing the mind. but they seldom feed the
heart. The poet is. a rule, moreover, not
self-conscious intentional as the theological
writer is: he breathes a spirit that kindles our
responsiveness rather than challenges our ad-
hesion The Imagination OF the poets who have
produced the great works OF the world have so
employed the religious thought Of their age that
no one can enter into the spirit OF these poems
without some acquaintance with the theology OF
Judea, Greece and Rome Of the Middle Ages
and the Reformation Dr. Carpenter illustrates
the difference between the formal and the real
religious element in poetry by a comparison be-
tween Racine's 'Athalie' and Hamlet" the
former being professedly religious poem the
latter not. Yet there is a righteousness in Ham
let that cannot be found in the conventional
frigidity Of "Athalie." Spenser gathering noble
thoughts and moral aspirations into a poem
as means Of religious teaching, is a religious
teacher. So, too. Marlowe, hated by the Puri-
tans, and disregardful. indeed OF ethical re-
straints himself teaches great religious prin-
ciples in his "Faustus" Shakespeares Tenn
pest gives glimpses of principles which are
closely allied with the fundamentals of all sound
theology. and the play is of moral awaken
ing. Leaving out Of consideration Millions
Paradise Lost" and Paradise Regained" as
obviously religious poems. DR.. Carpenter goes
through with a rather elementary analysis to
prove that "Comus' is also notwithstanding
the power of simple hearted virtue, a firm will
and clear insight, and pointing out that the
human face divine is lost by drinking of the
fatal cup, as well as the human power of sit
ting in judgment on self
DR. Carpenters criticism of Tennyson and
Browning is rather more extended than any
or his other essays If not more Illuminating
He defends Ternyson from the charge of being
half pagan; he is, on the contrary, one who
lifts our thoughts into regions in which truth
is seen not in its scientific, but in its vital and
comprehensive aspect; one who commended
not the form, but the faith beyond the forms Of
faith AS TO Browning. IT would be difficult to
ma poet in whose poetry the religious ele-
ment is more strong
