The music is by Kar Schmidt and

by Rabbi Enelow.
Yesterdays Louisville Herald says
Of L.:
THE work, which Is Of . most am.
bilious nature, has never been given
in its entirety. Parts of 1t have been
played and sung at different times
since its completion, month or two
ago, before friends of the composers.
Judith" provides for two solo
parts, Q contralto and baritone, which
will be taken at its premier by Mrs.
Carrie Rothchild Sapinsky and Doug
las Webb. The entire musical society
will sing the choruses, and the instru-
mental portions will be given by the
Philharmonic society's orchestra. Mr..
Schmidt will direct the performance.
1.-THE composers of Judith have been
at work on the cantata for more than
q year. The work psrtakes largely of
an oratorio in its nature, and in its
construction great attention has been
paid to the choral portions. The words
have been taken principally from the
book Of Judith. which contains more
brilliantly dramatic material than any
other portion Of the Bible, with the
exception perhaps Of the book of job
and the story Of David. Parts of the
beautifully poetic Song Of Solomon
are also incorporated, and the story of
the resolve of the noble Jewess to saye
her psoplA from the wrath of their
enemy, Of her conception, of the plan,
and of its daring execution, are all
set forth in concise and brilliant
fashion in the cantata.
Louisville writers Of music are
not by any means few, and many
highly creditable and artistic compo-
sitions have been written in this city,
but IL is doubtful IL there has been,
within the last decade, at any rate, so
ambitious an effort as Judith" under
taken It's theme IS one which fur
nishes fine material for operatic treat
ment, and should also offer rars oppor-
tnuity for adaptation in cantata or

Bannon Factory Almost De-
strOyed by Fire at Louisville.
Contractor Terrell Hasn't Enough
Brick to Finish the Work
on Streets.
FACTORY LOSES $50, 900.

Indefinite delay may result in the
brick street contract now being exc.
cuted by Contractor E. O. Terrell in
Paduoah, because Of the burning OF
the Bannon factory at Louisville.
II is not known how many brick
the factory may have ahead with
which to fill its contracts, but Con-
tractor Terrell hasn't enough here to
complete the contract and IL the fac
tory hasn't enough there is likely to
be considerable delay when the work
is resumed.
The Bannon factory is known as the
Kentucky yitrihed Brick company,
and its plant was almost destroyed.
the machinery for making the vitrifed
brick being badly damaged. The loss
is estimated at 100000, with partial
insurance.
No date for resuming business is
even Appropriated. The plant is
owned by Pat and JEFF Banpon, and is
one of the largest in the country.
Contractor Terrell is not worried at
present over the brick question. how
ever, as work has been suspended for
some time on account of the lack of
sand and gravel, and is likely to be
delayed considerably longer. He has
enough brick to pave about three of
the five blocks to be paved.
There was about $40. 900 insurance
on the Bannon plant. The building
and kins cover about three quarters
of an acre. Forty-five men were en-
ployed on the place. all Of whom will
be thrown out Of employment.
Patrick and Jefferson Bannon, the
owners of the property, are not in
Louisville at present, and their plans
for rebuilding are unknown.
The buildings Of the brick company
were erected sixteen years ago, but
the machinery of the plant was bot
lately installed. The greatest loss is
occasioned by the destruction of the
machinery. The buildings. excepting
the boiler rooms, are composed Of a
wooden frame work, covered by CORFU
gated iron.

About Corporal Punishment.

That the children with whom one Is brought into close association are, or would be, the better for an occasional whipping it Is usually easy to admit or even to assert, but when one reads of formal arguments made before the mcm- bers of the Society of Medical Jurispru- dence for the revival of corporal punish ment in the public schools, the impress sion is not pleasant. For we have all come to reaize--exeept, of course. as re- gards the immediate children mentioned tession of inability to secure obedience and maintain discipline by means more intelligent and humane. The whole world was once agreed, and 1t wasn't so long ago, either, that the proper management of most adults as well as of all children required free use of whips and cudgels, and freely used they were in all lands, in those claiming to be civilized hardly less than In those frankly barbaric. In the last 100 years. however. there has been tendency toward punlshments of other kinds, until now all except infant backs are safe from the lash. and things go on, If not very much better. certainly as well, as in the old days. Why should
  Doubtless 1t should not. and certainly 1t has not for though children are still beaten. 1t is only once for a hundred or perhaps a thousand times In the past and many parents succeed In sparing the rod altogether without spelling their chill dren to any noticeable degree. That whip ping is sometimes effective in the control of children cannot be denied. but 1t also fails utterly at least as often, and of the new and gentler methods the results are equal. if not superior. Since some teach CTS and some parents can get along, and get along admirably. by one or many of the innumerable forms of moral suaslon and compulsion, all the teachers and parents who resort to brute force are un- der an obvious obligation to prove that the fault Is in their charges, and not in themselves. And they will find 1t ex- tremely difficult to prove that-indeed. 1t simply cannot be done. For our own part, we do not desire the restoration of cor poral punishment in the public schools. or in any other place when it has been banished in the general amelioration of manners that marks our happy era. On the contrary, we hope and trust that the process of banishment will In time be made complete. and that some day all children will be at least as safe from blows as are all adults.

A Strange Sea Fish.

From the Chicago News.
 Near Santa Catalina island, off the coast of California, was caught recently the largest sunfish ever taken or perhaps seen. It was literally impossible even with all the available tackle used in lift ing huge tunas and black sea bass. to weigh this fish entire, or to lift 1t from the ground. so that it's weight was guess ed at a ton. while conservative estimates placed 1t at from 1900 to 1900 pounds. The captors discovered 1t while fishing from a launch. It was swimming with its huge shark like fin above the surface: yet the launch was steamed alongside, and il boatman thrust a heavy gafr into it. Im- mediately the fish began series of ele- phantine struggles, which more than once threatened the boat. After three hours. the fishermen subdued 1t, and with no It, tie difficulty towed 1t into port.
 The sunfsh, or headflsh, is fairly oom- mon in the vicinity of Santa Catalina island. It's general appearance Is obiong and deep very thin or compressed: cut off (truncate) behind. so there appears to be no tall. a mere rim of movable flesh taking its place, which has very lim- ited use Tn the slow locomotion of this ex- traordinary fish The skin Is hard and coarse, rough scaleless and covered with fiat spines the entire skin covered with a thick coating of slime, which appears to be a world in Itself for numerous para sites which prey upon the fish,
 This extraordinary fish Is ene of the few fishes of little or no use to man. tsI am of the opinion" says Charles F. Held CT, the naturalist.

ly worth while in discussing the question. The majority is a myth.
 Another modern theory, bearing the British mint mark. is that the revolu- tionary army contained few men of English descent, that it was composed of disaffected Irish and their descendants. together with adventures from other quarters of the world. The rosters of the revolutionary regiments, easily accessible, completely disprove this allegation. The majority of the army, like the majority of the country at the time, was of English descent The names Of Irish and other nationalities are there, of course, and they may be in the majority Tn many or ganizadons, but that was an accident of locality, or some other consideration en tering into the enrolment of them.
