The singing was performed by a chorus
of girls from the Arsakeion Academy. They
had been trained to sing their parts with
sufficient accuracy; but the grand spectac-
ular movements. the entrance march. the
steps and evolutiOns and gestures which
were so closely in harmony with the voice
fin the execution of such odes. and which
assisted so powerfully in showing the
rhythm of verses and stanzas were all
missing. Likewise, the music did not en-
phasize the meter strongly enough. III is
not impossible 10 forgive the loss of the
trimetric swing in the recited iambic lines
of the dialogue, but the listener is sorry TO
witness any fault in the musical time of the
choric systems. II was by hearing these
odes that the ancient Greeks learned their
intricate rhythm. and the audiences OF Eu-
ripides-just as clumsy as We. We're they to
try To learn these lines correctly by reading
them in a book-had the easy pleasure OF
becoming acquainted with them by hearing
them sung. Those Of us who happen TO go

same easy pleasure: but such expectation is

Era of Cheap Fuel.
D the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
The present high price OF COAL whether It
has a rational excuse or not. promises to be
a blessing IN disguise. 1t is rapidly opening
peoples eyes to the possibility OF obtaining
much cheaper fuel, and thus introducing a
new chapter of Industrial history. The
public Is now realizing as never before the
feasibility and advantages Of substituting
oil for coal under steam boilers So long
as the country's supply OF petroleum was
derived chiefly from Pennsylvania and ad-
tacent states the proposition was not worth
considering. Eastern oil Is more profitable
when refined for Illuminating purposes than
when sold for fuel The Texas article
which has been produced in astonishing
abundance for more than a year, Is At for
little else. This Is practically its sole field
or usefulness. Moreover, 1t has already
been employed extensively enough to dem
onstrats its excellence. It Is used In cleo
tric light plants and sugar factories In the
south, and also on locomotives and every

Use Of School Buildings.


JACOB Kills advocates the opening Of the
pubic schools on Sunday for the use Of the
people Lectures and concerts, for which
an admission fee Is now charged, could be
given free or for much less than the present
price. The schools are now places in which
the children are immured for so many hours
day. Mr.. Riis believes that they should
play much larger part in the lives of the
people. They could be the meeting places
for educational clubs Of young people. ana
those In the 'slums could be advantageously
used In the work that Is now being carried
on by various settlements and societies.
Ihers Is no possible objection to Mr. Riis'
plan except that of expense. The cost for
extra light, heat. Janitor service and repairs
would be considerable. but. there is no rea-
son to suppose that the Investment would
not pc a good one. II It were made under

The record shows that in 1891 that
one Jephcott's whiskey was coniiscated

by order OF the Town Board and have
been told by boys under eighteen that
they drank of the whiskoy. Also in
