CHICAGO AHEAD IN MUSIC.
Carl Armbruster Tells Why Grcu
VIII Not Return to the Vest
ern Metropolis.

"ChicagO is the superior of New
York in all musical matters" said Carl
Armbruster at New York the other
day. He is well-known Wagnerite
and was for many years stage director
at the famous Rayreuth theater. He
has been touring this country during
the past year. He subjects to much
criticism Maurice Grau and his star
collection of singers.
"The musical public of New York
city, said he. sis considerably infe-
rior to that of Chicago. This is shown
prominently in the horrible perform
ances Of opera which they tolerate
here in New York. l had heard from
so many of my friends and had read
in the papers so much of the wonders
here that my anticipations were very
high.
well, | went to a performance of
'Lohengrn' some days ago that would
not be tolerated in Germany. The
singers did about as they pleased,
stalking about as they wanted; the
chorus appeared very much over
worked and the orchestra. was decid-
eddy listless. The most glaring fault
was the lack of artistic direction.
They robbed the piece of all its poetry,
its very spirit. Eames and De Rezske
were anything but what they should
have been.
'The reason why Mr.. Grau and his
artists will not go back to Chicago is
because Chicago will not have him.
They say his performances are too
bad: they cannot stand him"

OPPOSES THE GOODS.
Opening of Swimming Pool to WOm-
en- of Columbia University Raises
a Storm of Objection.

The first evidence of student interest
in the question of coeducation at Co.
lumbia university was sounded the
other day by an editorial which APP
peared in the Columbia Spectator. the
undergraduate newspaper, which pro-
tests in no uncertain terms against the
use of the swimming pool by women
students. The editorial, which occa-
stoned a great deal of discussion at
the university, reads in part as fol-
lows:
"An announcement that the gym
nasium swimming pool viii be opened
on Wednesday evenings for women
calls for comment. We believe that
student sentiment is directly against
such action. not from any spirit of
selfishness, but mercy for a regard for
Columbia tradition. Columbia is not
a coeducatiOnal college, and, though
certain schools for women have recent
ly been included in the university, they
were for good and efficient reasons
located in buildings off the campus.
The constant presence of women stu
dents on the campus and their admis-
sion to such buildings as the gymnasi-
UNI is bar to that spirit of cordial
fraternity that is one of the pleasant
est characteristics of life at college.

FAVORS TARGET PRACTICE.
President Roosevelt Heartily In
dorses This Feature of Train
ing the Navy.

President Roosevelt is taking keen
interest in naval target practice. He
has been furnished copies of recent
reports of the work of the men be-
hind the guns, and has instructed the
naval ordnance officers to do every
thing in their power 10 keep up the
supply of ammunition. This TEN is a
large one. and during the present year
will cost the government $500 coo. The
instructions are to have vessels which
are laid up for repairs thoroughly
overhauled. supplied with new gun
carriages power ammunition hoists,
etc. and maintain the efficiency of the
gun crews.
1t has been planned the target prac-
tice on board ships-of-war shall be
kept up under all the conditions which
cor"es3ond in any way with actual
conflict.
President Roosevelt sent for Rear
Admiral O'Neil. chief Of ordnance. the
other Gay and talked over the subject
of target practice. telling him that
the navy must have plenty Of work in
that line. Admiral O'Neil explained
that such a policy would be expensive,
whereupon the president said: "Then
you must have more means" Admiral
O'Neil explained that constant prac-
tice would wear out the guns, and the
president retorted: eve must keep
up the practice even if the guns do
wear out. and then get new ones when
it becomes necessary"
This attitude of the president on the
important matter of target practice
has been communicated to congress,
and has had much effect on those who
are framing the naval appropriation
bill. 1t is possible that the usual APP
preparation of 100000 will be mate
rally increased so as to give 100000
for the target practice alone.

NEW FUEL MADE OF CLAY.
Company in Ohio Has an Article
Which 1t Claims Is Cheaper
and Better Than Coal.

The American ClayWorking Ma
chine company, of Bucyrus, O., has
been applied to for machinery to man
ufacture an artificial fuel which will
sell cheaper than coal. 1t is made
from ordinary clay treated with chem
icals and is the invention of an old
railway engineer of Omaha. The fuel
burns in a stove, CRATE or furnace
readily. 1t creates no smoke, no Gin
ders and burns to white ashes, 25
pounds of the fuel producing only a
quantity of ashes that may be held
in the palm of the hand. In the COM
bustion the fire literally consumes it's
own ashes, and ton of the fuel goes
farther than two tons of the best coal,
producing five times the amount of
] heat that coal produces.

GANDER KNOWS HIS DUTY.
Massachusetts Bird Guards Masters
Person and Protects Property
Better Than Dog

James Rice, of Chicopee, Mass, is
the owner of a gander that guards
his house and yard on Exchange
street in his absence better than
most dogs could. How effectually
Billy does his duty is attested by the
fact that a short time ago he drove
Patrick Malone, well-known local
character, out of the yard, biting
him SO severely that Malone applied
to the police for a warrant for the
arrest of Billy or Mr.. Rice, but the
police refused to have anything to
do with the matter
Rice is more than six feet tall and
weighs 200 pounds. but Billy is usu-
ally on hand to protect him if neces-
sary, following him about the city
streets. and even going along in the
wagon Wien his master visits his
farm near Fairview cemetery, a mile
from home. Billy will never allow
anyone to even take hold of his mas
siders threatening.
Billy sleeps on the back steps of
the house in summer. and not only
gives warming when tramps come
into the yard, but attacks all tres
passers on his masters estate. He
knows the letter carrier, the milk
man and the ice man, and even let's
the garbage man come into the yard.
He is easily the boss of the yard.
Rice attributes Billy's superior in
telligence to the long talks they
have had together. Billy squaw>s an
answer to all questions Rice asks
him concerning the property. A year
ago, when Rice was sick for several
weeks, he used to talk to the bird by
the hour, and since then Rice has
said that he will never kill Billy but
will let him die a natural death.
Billy raps on the door in the morn
ing until his master comes down
stairs, so Rice can dispense with the
services of an alarm clock.

VALUE OF SERMONS.
Baptist Preacher Asks $50 Each
and Gets $I.23 Each.
Southern Railroad Settles for Lost
Manuscripts After the Matter 10
Determined by a Ministerial
Board os Arbitration.

The cash value of Baptist sermons in
Virginia has been officially fixed at
$1.23 and fraction each. A board Of
arbitration composed of Baptist cler-
gymen the other day decided that the
Norfolk & Western Railroad company
must pay Rev. w. p. Hines, pastor of
the Park View Baptist church at Ports
mouth, $3.50 for 2O2 sermons lost by
agents and employees of the company.
Mr.. Hines had valued the sermons at
$50 each.
Pastor Hines was a passenger on a
Norfolk & Western railway train few
weeks ago and had the company check
his valise. in which were the 200 SER
mons, besides Bible on which were
many memoranda of religious nature
When he presented the check for the
va.ise at his destination it could not
be found. and although tracer was
sent out the valise was never located.
DR.. Hines told the railway people
that the loss of his best sermons would
place him in an embarra ssing position,
and he asked to be reimbursed. The
Coiupd utCilutu 70 pay roU piece or
the lot. and suggested that the latter
be settled by arbitration. DR.. Hine s
agreed to the proposition.
The railway people selected Rev. DR..
Lafferty. editor of the Richmond Chris
tian Advocate. DR.. Hines selected Rev.
DR.. Owen. of loca. Baptist church, and
these two ministers selected Rev. DR..
j. j. Hall. pastor of Park Avenue Bap-
fist church al Norfolk.
The conference began in the morn
ing. and all through the day the value
of the sermons was discussed and ar
gued, until finally $3.50 was agreed
upon.
DR.. Hines. when notified. said he was
satisfied. and the railway people &C
cepted the verdict. so DR.. Hines will re-
ceive check for $3.50.
The case has attracted widespread
attention, and it is believed to be the
first of its kind on record in this coun-
try.
