A Commendable Effort.

The past week has been notable for "a
number of musical entertainments Of
more or less interesting character. Chief
OF these We're two concerts given by the
Washington Symphony Orchestra.
Mr. de KOven has done much in the
past year or so TO give the Washington
public something OF the class of music
afforded patrons in other cities, and the
least that local contractors can do is to
offer their patronage.
The first concert of the week was on
! Wednesday afternoon at the Columbia
/ Theater, when a series of promenade
concerts was begun. Refreshments were
/ served and everything done to make the
| occasion an enjoyable. informal affair.
/ But the people did not go. There were
| scarcely more than hundred persons in
/ the house, despite the fact that prices
We're unusually low and the orchestra
gave program of high-class light mu-
/ sic
! on Thursday at the Lafayette Theater
/ the orchestra began a series Of concerts
/ which are to be known as educational
\ in that short descriptions OF the works
/ played and Of the motives OF various
! composers .precede the reading As on
| Wednesday afternoon. there was a small
audience. The least that can be said is
| that those who remained away missed a
very interesting and instructive enter
tainment
! The point is that. after much dis
| cussiOn regarding the tastes and wishes
of the local public in musical affairs
it looks very much as IL the matter was
nothing more than talk, after all. True
the local public has demonstrated the
fact that the worth OF even a musical
performance must be proved 70 IL be
/ fore general patronage is offered, but
/ everyone now knows the status of tbs
! Washington symphony. that 1t is com.
| posed Of experienced musicians. and thai
the music played Is often superior L
that given by older and more cele-
brated organizations.
II the people Of Washington want rea
music they now have a chance 10 prove
/ H. Mr. de KOven is. manifestly, 90
/ ing 10 a great deal of trouble 10 prepare
| his papers for the various educationa
concerts. and inasmuch as the matter
included in them teaches most music
ians something which they did mo-
! know before, it is certainly an oppor.
Junity which should not be overlooked.

DAY LAW
SECTION IS REPEALED
The Section is Of General
Application.

Youngstown Telegram; The position
taken by the board of public service
in making the declaration that the peo-
pie of Youngstown have no right under
the statutes to take half holiday on
Saturday has stirred up hornets nest
in the court house.
cials who have been taking advantage
of the half holiday provision that the
claim of the board of public service to
the effect that the half holiday can be
taken only in cities having a popula-
ton of $4,000 or more tends to make 1t
appear that they are working the pub
lie. On the contrary, they say the
board Is entirely wrong in its position
and that they are simply taking the
holiday because they and their help are
entitled to 1t under the law
Reference is made to house bill No.
351 passed by the recent Legislature,
and which is now law, repeating sec
tion of an act of April 21, 1896, which
in effect makes every Saturday legal
holiday from IL o'clock noon to IL
o'clock midnight. The section repealed
stipulated the population of cities and
municipalities affected and the repeal
eliminates any such restrictions.
Followig is the act of April 1896
over which the controversy was raised:
Senate bill No. 201-malSing one-halt
of every Saturday legal holiday.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the gen.
eral assembly of the state of Ohio:
That each and every Saturday of each
and every year shall be one-half le-
gal holiday, beginning at IL O'Clock
noon and ending at IL o'clock midnight
for all purposes whatsoever. Provided
that all bills, bonds or promissory
notes presentable for payment or ac-
ceptance on Saturday or on the preced-
ing day II said preceding day should be
a holiday, shall be presentable foI
acceptance or payment at or before l;
o'clock noon of such Saturday, but II
not then paid or accepted, a demand OF
acceptance or payment therefor may be
\ made and notice of protest or dishonol
\ thereof may be given on the next sue,
.lceeding secular business day.
2 1t is apparent that the members OF
the board of public service secured
their authority for issuing the new or.
der cancelling the Saturday half holi,
day from the old statute. They were
not aware that the section which was
their stronghold had been repealed
