The condensation of standard works is not, as
q rule, either a eenlRlendable or satisfactory en-
deaVor. But as most rules have their eXcep-
tons, has this one. Hector Macpherson in
his new and condensed edition Of Adam Smiths
Wealth of Nations IT. Y. Crowell & Coz has
eenferred a genuine benefit on students of po-
lticaI economy and on the general reader. He
has reduced the ponderous bulk of the original
work TO a volume Of convenient size, which will
no doubt attract many readers who would other
wise shrink from its perusal. The editor has
accomplished this by deftly separating from the
authors enuReatiOn Of principles a large pro-
portion OF the historical illustrations which are
now obsolete and confusing. However fallacious
we may be inclined TO believe most of the sys-
TENS which have been constructed on the
theory that there is such science as political
economy they are all based on Adam Smith;
and this clearing Of the fountain head of much
obstructing material will open il up to all who
seek inspiration from the source, either to sup
port or to contest the economical theories Of the

CONCERT TONIGHT

There are very few vacancies left
in the opera house for the Slapoffski
concert this evening. The program
as announced is extremely attractive
ranging from ballads to grand opera
but being always thoroughly musical
and not beyond the appreciative ear of
the general public.
The only change in the announced
program is the withdrawal of the
number which was to have been given
by Mrs. Cohen the contralto, who is
suffering from a severe cold. other
wise the program will be the same as
published.
Miss Flora Donaldson and Mrs.
Gerard Barton are rendering valuable
assistance to Madame Slapoffski who
is also assisted by John Ellis and the
Hawaiian Quintet
