CONFERENCE OF zIoNIsTs.

A movement is on foot to bring to the
United States the world conference Of
Zionists that meets one year from the
coming August. This conference, OF
ganized a few years ago. met annually
at Basle and once at London. Now the
claim is made on behalf of Jews in
America that they have numbers and
the world gathering will result in an
impetus to the cause of Zienism far
beyond that to be attained by anotheT

England. Some disappointment has been
expressed in Europe that the amount
subscribed for shares of the Coioni-

not greater than $500, ,0G0, but local

are replying that the scheme has thus
far been European. and to bring world

cause, that of the Industrial develop

the settlement there of Jews who are
prosecuted elsewhere, had slow re-
ception in America, but it is growing
steadily. The world convention of 1903
will probably meet in America.

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY WINS AGAIN

Secretary Hay has put another
feather in his cap. The European
governments, which, with the United
States, were at loggerheads with Chi

proposition to reduce pro rata the ez-

lesials, and IN consequence Of this
concession China VIII haze 10 pay

Lieutenant Santelmann. leader OF the
Marine Band. has just issued an inter
esttDg edict upon the subject of rag
time music. says the philadelphia IN
quirer." It is a kind of music Of which
he does not approve. His opinion is
that the performance Of it is beneath
the dignity OF the organization which he
directs. and as he thinks that one of
the objects for which the Marine Band
exists is to educate the musical tastes
OF these who are privileged to listen
to its playing, he intends hereafter to
exclude music Of the rag-:ime denomi-
nation from his programs.
Had his decision ended there it would
have been unexceptionable. It is easily
practicable for a competent conductor
to compile an unlimited number of pro-
grams which shall contain nothing to
which even musical purist could OBJ
iect and which should yet be of such
a character as to please a general aud;-
ence. Not all OF what is known as rag
time music is OF kind to be condemned.
There are plenty of scores in which syn
copaticn and the Scotch snap are the
distinctive features, which are by no
means to be despised. and as a matter
of fact are not despised by persons
whose tastes have been sufficiently cul-
tivated to enable them to appreciate and
enjoy the best WORKS Of the classical
composers. But If Director santelmann
wanted to draw the line at rsg-time he
would have been well within his rights.
But it seems that he is not yet ready
to press his argument to its logical con-

clusion and. as people often do when
they endeavor to compromise with their
convictions, he places himself in an IL
logical position by the modification
which he makes to his major proposition.
The exclusion Of rag-ttme from the Ma
rine Bands concerts is not to be abso-
lutte That reprobated style Of music is
not to figure on the program, It Is to
be denied formal recognition, but those
prived Of their accustomed pleasure.
They are to get it in the shape Of en-
cores.
That does credit to Director Santel-
mann's good nature. at the expense of
his logic, for If the influence OF rag
time upon the musical taste is bad. II
the performance of il is undignffed and
undesirable. what difference does 1t make
as regards the effect produced whether
it is given with an unblushing frank
ness on the program or accorded with a
kind Of shame-faced surreptitiousness
through the medium of the encore? In
either case 1t sounds the same and
whatever demoralizing influence it mag
exert upon the tastes OF its hearers will
be as active and as influential in the
one case as the other.
Perhaps what Mr.. Santelmann secretly
desires is 10 promote the frequency Of
those demands for repetitions which ar
fists outwardly deprecate and inwaTdly
enjoy. If so he could hardly have hit
upon a better plan. Encores hereafter
will be more numerous than ever when

Artificial Production Of Gold

The general impulse which we
designate as alchemy remained in

eighteenth century. and was so wide
spread that It deserves consideration by

probable that in the more ignorant ages

Of the latter was much more frequent
than the public profession Of superna tn
