SYMPHONY CONCERT
CROWDS LAFAYETTE
Orchestra Plays Admirably Three Fine
Works-A Mozart Symphony.
Nine. Homer a Sensation.

The second concert OF the Washing
ton Symphony Orchestra. given yester-
day afternoon at the Lafayette Square
oi,era House, was noteworthy for many
things-for a fine performance of three
splendid compositions; for the presence
of an audience which filled every sec
ton Of the theater and applauded with
much discrimination; and for the I'M
qualified pleasure given by the singing
of Nine. Louise Homer, the soloist Of
the afternoon. From every point OF
view. the concert was a pronounced
success. But it will be chiefly remem-
bered for the admirable singing OF the
soloist
Director De Koven and his men con-
tinue to advance. From concert TO con-
cert their playing grows more and more
unified. their control more and more
certain. and their Interpretation Of the
directors will more and more exact.
At the close of last season the orchestra
had established its rank among the best
orchestras of the country. 1t is ex-
tremely pleasant now TO record that
their Improvement continues beyond that
point.

Fine Work of Orchestra

Excepting the accompaniments to
Nine. Homer. the orchestra played yes
terday only three works-Mendelssohn g
-Fingal's Cave" Mazart's symphony in
G. minor. and Massenet's Scenes Pit
tCresques." The requirement put upon
the orchestra by all these works is
rather that of even, firm, strong play
ing than the exceptional use of any one
section of the band. Balance, unity Of
one. avoidance OF obscured melody, and
precise execution are needed for such
compositions as these, and they are the
very qualities which new bands are
most likely 10 lack. Yet the Symphony
played all three yesterday in good style.
and in the Mozart number. the most ex-
acting Of all. it surpassed itself.

in a season which has included Nine.

New York. Nov. 2s.-Total abstainers
IN the matter Of spirituous liquors are
In the near future TO be given special
low rates by the leading life insurance
companies, according TO the Tribune.
As s well known the insurance COM
panles never issue policies TO immod-
crate drinkers where the circumstances
are known, but for many years numer-
Gus authorities have claimed that the
average span Of life was longer among
persons who were no. total abstalnefs
and the underwriters have never taken
a decided stand in the matter.
Now. however Il Is stated that a
number OF actuarles and medical d.
rectors have been working on statistics
running over a period OF several years,
and from the records OF a large num-
Der Of life companies several Of the au-
thorlties have come 20 the conclusion
that the total abstainers as q class live
longer by from 20 to 80 per cent than
the moderate drinkers as class.
There are a number OF details to work
out before the policies IN contempla-
ton are actually offered to the public.
one OF these is the danger that a man

out the policy may become moderate,
or perhaps immoderate drinker In the
future, which would upset the figures
OF the company II this should happen
10 many Of the holders Of such policies.
II Is believed however, that this prob.
lem can be solved in several ways one
OF these is that the application for the
policy should contain a warranty that
the applicant would never thereafter
become drlnker Of alcoholic liquors,
the effect would be that II he violated
the warranty the policy would be void.
The companies also have discussed a
plan OF including a provision that II the
man should become a drnker the
amount paid under the policy should
be such a sum as the amount of pre-
mums paid would have purchased II
the man had not been a total abstain
