"Folk Song In America

The second year of the Friday Even
ing Club opened most auspiciously Fri
day evening last at the Lyceum, and if
the entertainment and instruction re-
ceived at that time are prophetical Of the
meetings to follow, the second season
will be even more successful than the
year just closed.
The speaker of the evening was Fl. E..
Krehbiel, the we'll known musical critic,
and his subject was Folk Song of Amer
ica." Responding to DR.. Foxs introduce
tory remarks Mr.. Krehbiel said he hoped
he might not only instruct but might
amuse the audience in the fullest sense
of that word, to tell them of things con-
nected with the muses.. By folk song,
the speaker said he did not mean the
popular songs which sprang up in day,
and which, he thanked Providence, only
lasted for day. His subject dealt with
the music of the people, which reflected
their inner life and peculiar Characters
tics. He indicated some of the peculi-
arities of this music, and showed how
the variations of the tones were the effect
of the varying moods of the singer.
In the most charming manner and
with sweetly sympathetic voice Mrs.
Krehbiel sang several of the southern
and Canadian songs as illustrations Of
Mr.. Krehbiel's remarks. We give below
the words of few of the songs she rem
dered:
NOBODY KNOWS.

Nobody knows the trouble | see, Lord,
Nobody knows the trouble | see;
Nobody knows the trouble | see, Lord,
Nobody knows but Jesus

And help to drive old Satan away.

One song which seems to have become
very much confused and to be very diff
ferently rendered in various lands, is
that which tells the story of Sir Hugh,

There was little boy,
He tossed his ball so low,
He tossed his ball so high,
He tossed his ball so low,
He tossed it into merry Jews garden
Where all the Jews did go.

| Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 19.-The steel
managers made another gain over the
strikers today when two more mills of
the Painter plant We're put in motion.
The steel mill at Monessen was not
started this morning, but the steel man.
ayers say that they will be running be-
fore night. Fires have been started, and

A non union worker employed at the
Wellsville plant was seriously beaten
by strikers this morning.
The Switchmen's Union of North AM
erica yesterday decided that strike
in sympathy with the steel
workers could not be ordered, but the
heartiest moral and financial support
was rendered the strikers. Grand Mas
ter Hawley suggested that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor call together
all labor leaders of the country for
conference on the strike and expressed
the opinion that some plan for favora-
BILE ending of the strike would be forth
coming. The steel managers succeeded
in starting the ten inch mill of the
Clark plant today, and with the excep-
tion of small eight inch mill have ev-
cry mill in the plant working. There
was no break in the forces.

lately president of Castros ministry
has been arrested in Caracas. Thirty
five other politicians have also been

SILVA AND HAY IN CONFERENCE.
Washington, d. c., Aug. 19.-The Col
ombian minister, DR.. Silva, had a con-
ference today with Secretary Hay. Silva
gave Hay information to the effect that
traffic on the isthmus is entirely unob-
structed. He also assured him of the
ability of Colombia to keep traffic
open.
UNCLE SANS INTENTIONS.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 19.-As far
as the United States government is
concerned, there never has been any
purpose to exert any military force in
keeping open the isthmian traffic unless
it became perfectly plain that Colombia
is unable to do so. This view was
doubtless made known to DIR. Silva, al
though the nature of the exchange is
known only in the most general way. It
was stated at the navy department to-
day that the battleship Iowa now at
San Francisco, will probably sail for
Panama tomorrow

A Reservoir Wall Breaks.

The water in the small power reservoir
of the Santa Fe Water and Light comp
any on Talaya hill burst through its
bank this forenoon and flowed down the
north slope of the hill until the reservoir
was empty. The stream threatened the
adobe houses at the foot of the hill but
did no material damage. The break in
the reservoir will be repaired In the
course of few days.
Manager 1. Sparks of the water comp
any examined the damage this afternoon
and found it was slight. The break in
the reservoir wall was caused by the
reservoir flowing over. The fields at
the foot of the hill were washed and
several adobe houses were damaged.
1t will probably take until tomorrow
noon to fill up the break in the reservoir.
In the meanwhile the new ditch line
will furnish sufficient power direct for
the electric light works.
